"Regression?" Upon hearing the system's words, Qi Ran lost her appetite. Everything had been progressing according to her expectations, so how could it suddenly regress?
She was so disoriented by this sudden event that she lost her appetite and rushed home to check what had happened.
Qi Ran had just returned home when she opened the door and found Xiao Tao was gone. She searched everywhere for Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao! Xiao Tao!"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
She muttered under her breath, "Damn it, that brat probably found out something and went to tell on me."
Qi Ran thought for a second: "That shouldn't be the case."
Logically speaking, no one else should know about her threatening Xiaopang with Xiaotao.
What exactly went wrong?
Qi Ran was still pondering where things went wrong with the plan when she received a call from the police: "Are you Lu Yuncheng's family? Little Fatty has just confessed everything. Everything was done under Lu Yuncheng's instructions. Little Fatty withdrew halfway and did not participate in the complete kidnapping process."
"Officer, isn't there some misunderstanding? Little Fatty must be scared and is just trying to shift the blame onto my husband!" Qi Ran said with great certainty.
The police officer sighed and said helplessly, "There's no misunderstanding. We've already verified it with the witnesses." "Witnesses?" Qi Ran was finally utterly devastated. He hadn't expected Little Fatty to have kept...
Firstly, he didn't tell her about the witnesses. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have let those witnesses go.
But now, it's all too late!
The police explained to Qi Ran that the trial would be held in a week to sentence Lu Yuncheng and others for their crimes.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Ran looked worried: "There's still a week left. How can we get Lu Yuncheng out?"
While Qi Ran was filled with worry, Lu Yunzhi took Xiao Tao home.
Shen Qianqian made Xiaotao a cup of malted milk powder. Xiaotao lifted the cup and took a small sip, her round eyes instantly bright and black.
However, she knew that this stuff called malted milk powder was expensive, so she didn't dare to drink too much. She only took a small sip before putting the cup down.
Xiao Tao looked at Lu Yunzhi and Shen Qianqian timidly and asked, "When will my brother come to pick me up and take me home?"
"Your brother will come to pick you up when he's done with his work," Lu Yunzhi comforted Xiao Tao, but in reality, he was worried about whether Xiao Pang could escape Qi Ran's clutches.
Judging from the current situation, Qi Ran will definitely not be willing to let this matter pass like this, and will definitely try to find a scapegoat to take the blame for Lu Yuncheng's crime.
If Xiao Tao stays by Xiao Pang's side, then Xiao Tao will be Xiao Pang's biggest weakness. Qi Ran can manipulate Xiao Tao through Xiao Pang at any time, which is why Xiao Pang asked Lu Yunzhi to take care of Xiao Tao temporarily.
As night fell, Shen Qianqian tidied up the guest room and let Xiao Tao sleep there. The large bed was soft and warm, and Xiao Tao soon fell into a deep sleep, drifting off into sweet dreams.
Meanwhile, Little Fatty went alone to the outskirts of the city and hid under a bridge to sleep. He dared not go home, because he had no idea whether Qi Ran would do something to him in a fit of anger.
Whatever has happened, the best course of action right now is to lay low for a while and wait until things calm down before bringing your sister back.
In fact, everything was just as Lu Yuncheng and Xiao Pang had imagined.
Qi Ran felt that the root of the problem lay with Xiao Pang, and that they had to address it from the source.
OK!
In order to find Xiao Pang, Qi Ran gritted her teeth and redeemed another item from the system shop—a bead specifically for finding people. As long as she covered the bead with something related to Xiao Pang, the bead would guide her to find Xiao Pang's whereabouts.
Soon, Zhu Zi led Qi Ran to the bridge archway in the suburbs. Qi Ran only glanced at it before...
Found the chubby boy sleeping curled up.
"Little Fatty!" she roared and ran towards Little Fatty.
The chubby boy, who had been in a light sleep, was startled awake. Upon seeing who it was, he quickly got up and ran away. However, his body was too heavy, and he was caught up by Qi Ran after only running a short distance.
Qi Ran grabbed something and shoved it into the chubby boy's mouth: "You'd better eat all of this!"
Her movements were rough, and Little Fatty was too weak from hunger to resist, so Qi Ran stuffed his mouth full of strange pills.
Little Fatty clutched his throat, trying to vomit up what he had just swallowed, but no matter how much he gagged, he couldn't spit out the pills he had just eaten. It was as if the pills had melted into his body in an instant.
"What...what did you give me to eat?" the chubby boy asked her in a hoarse voice.
"It's nothing, just some pills that can help me accomplish a few things. It's your own fault for refusing to listen to reason before!" Qi Ran answered the chubby boy's question with a smile. Although she was smiling, her face looked sinister in the silvery moonlight.
"You're a vicious woman!" Little Fatty was powerless to stop her and could only let Qi Ran do as she pleased.
The only thing he was thankful for was that he hadn't brought Xiao Tao with him, otherwise he didn't know how this crazy woman would have tormented her.
About three minutes later, Xiao Pang suddenly felt that all the muscles in his body were out of his control, and even his brain almost stopped thinking. He was like a numb puppet, only able to hear Qi Ran's words and instinctively obey her commands.
"Little Fatty, bark like a dog." Qi Ran had barely uttered the command when the little fat boy in front of her began to obey.
"Alright, now let's see how you betray me!" Qi Qi couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. Her sharp, piercing laughter echoed in the suburbs.
