The door seemed to have been opened by Liang Yueling, who had tried to escape earlier. Li Qicheng and his men only tried to push the door open before they could see the situation inside. Then, Xiao Yanbao rushed over and grabbed their legs.
"It's alright, Yanbao, don't be afraid, Daddy's here!"
The room was filled with signs of a struggle. Li Qicheng couldn't imagine what kind of fright Xiao Yanbao had suffered here. Without checking anything else, Li Qicheng held Xiao Yanbao tightly in his arms, constantly worrying about his safety, his eyes filled with heartache as he looked at Xiao Yanbao.
Little Yanbao buried her head in Li Qicheng's arms and rubbed against him. Although she wasn't afraid of demons and monsters, she was still a little frightened.
Especially now, he felt a bit scared. If Gao Ping hadn't kidnapped him, but instead drugged and killed him, he wouldn't have been able to use his demon-slaying skills.
"dad!"
"It's alright, it's alright, let's go home."
Li Qicheng carried Xiao Yanbao out of the house first. Jiang Li playfully waved at Xiao Yanbao, then deliberately stirred up a gust of wind that howled through the open window. At the same time, various electronic devices in the house silently emitted an unpleasant burning smell.
"Young Master Cheng, would you like to come in and take a look? The kidnapper's identity is a bit unusual."
Upon hearing this, Li Qicheng frowned slightly, glanced briefly into the room, and pointed to Xiao Yanbao in his arms, signaling his men not to mention the kidnappers again. Then he whispered:
"Let me see their faces!"
Three subordinates immediately carried Gao Ping and Liang Yueling's bodies to the ground near the door. After Li Qicheng clearly saw Gao Ping and Liang Yueling's faces, a deep frown appeared on his forehead, and the veins on his neck bulged. He was consumed by rage, and his sharp gaze swept over the bodies of the couple again. He said coldly, his face hardening:
"I'll take Yanbao back first. You guys wait here for the police to arrive."
Li Qicheng's first priority was to quickly take Xiao Yanbao away from this place to prevent Xiao Yanbao from being further frightened. His second priority was to go back and ask his sister-in-law and Gao Kexin, who was pretending to be a big shot in the Li family, whether he and Zhong Jingyi had offended the Gao family and that they would use such despicable means to deal with him.
Just as Li Qicheng brought Xiao Yanbao home, the Li family members already knew that Xiao Yanbao was safe. Zhong Jingyi glanced at Li Mulang, who was being put to sleep by the nanny, and then pulled Li Mujun to wait outside the gate. Seeing this, the others also got up and walked outside.
The old master of the Li family did not get up and go out, and there was not much joy on his face. Instead, just as everyone was about to go to the gate to welcome Xiao Yanbao, he asked Li Qirui and Liang Xunling to stay.
"Li Qirui, you two shouldn't go out yet."
Upon hearing this, Gao Kexin trembled violently. She glanced at the old man cautiously, and only when she saw that he hadn't noticed anything amiss did she relax. She then gently tugged at Liang Xunling's sleeve.
"Auntie, can I go to the door to pick up Yanbao?"
Liang Xunling didn't know why the old man was asking her to stay at this time. Although she was confused, she nodded and told Gao Kexin to go out first.
Seeing that everyone had left, the old lady of the Li family immediately came to Li Qirui and Liang Xunling, frowned at her husband, and began to complain:
"What are you doing? Isn't Yanbao's safe and sound return more important than anything else? Why are you calling out to the boss and the others so seriously!"
The old master of the Li family first waved for the servants in the room to leave, then his gaze swept back and forth between Li Qirui and Liang Xunling, finally fixing his gaze on Liang Xunling. The living room became unusually quiet, and the old master could almost hear his heart pounding.
The old man hesitated, worried that he might ask for answers he didn't want to hear. His emotions became very complicated, but he was also filled with anger towards Liang Xunling's family and heartache for Xiao Yanbao.
Thinking of Xiao Yanbao, the usually stern-faced patriarch of the Li family had his eyes redden. Seeing his father remain silent, Li Qirui asked with some confusion:
"Dad, what's wrong? Yanbao is fine, isn't he?"
The old man of the Li family pounded his chest and coughed lightly. Li Qirui and his wife rushed forward, but the old man pushed them away.
"Dad, what's wrong? Did we do something to upset you?"
Li Qirui couldn't help but speak up. Liang Xunling looked at the angry old man with confusion. The old man slowly took a breath, looked up at Liang Xunling, and after a moment sighed, said:
Do you know who kidnapped Yanbao?
Seeing the old man staring at her and hearing what he said, Liang Xunling's heart skipped a beat. She secretly thought of everyone around her, but couldn't be sure if this matter was related to her family.
Li Qirui also looked at his wife, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved. Then he looked at the old man and slowly said:
Who is it?
The old man didn't say anything, silently filling the teacup on the table, but he didn't notice that the tea had already overflowed. At this moment, the old lady glared at the old man with great dissatisfaction, and then took the purple clay teapot from his hand.
“Just say what you have to say. Who the kidnappers are and what do they have to do with the boss and his wife?”
Upon hearing his wife's words, the old man took a deep breath and then said the name.
"It's Gao Ping and Liang Yueling, you didn't know about this?"
Liang Xunling stared at the old man in disbelief, her mouth agape. She simply couldn't believe that her sister's family had done this.
"How could they do this? Kexin is still at our house. I'm going to find them right now."
Li Qirui frowned and looked at his father, then hesitated before speaking:
"That shouldn't be the case. My mother-in-law said tonight that she wanted to move to a different house and sell the current one to Liang Yueling. If the two of them kidnapped Yanbao, why would they bother asking me for money in such a roundabout way?"
In desperation, Li Qirui revealed what he had been keeping from his wife. Upon hearing this, Liang Xunling immediately glanced at her husband, only to hear the old man angrily smash his teacup on the ground.
"How could they do this? They just want money! If they want money, they want money. How could they kidnap Yanbao?"
At this point, the old man forcefully pounded his chest, then spoke again:
"You don't need to look for them anymore. People who inspected the scene said that the couple had an argument and they are both dead."
Li Qirui and Liang Xunling stared wide-eyed at the old man. Gao Ping and his wife were both dead? How could that be? Even if they had a fight, how could they both die?
