Chapter 24 I want them to never be reborn.
Xiang Jingheng withdrew five million yuan in cash from the bank and delivered it to the designated location as instructed over the phone.
Five million is nothing to him; what he cares about is human life.
But Xiang Jingheng wasn't one to be taken advantage of; he was a businessman who always kept business in mind.
He can make any kind of money in business and accept any kind of scheming or trickery, but these people using his son and woman as blackmail... have crossed his bottom line.
Xiang Jingheng stood at the bus stop at the street corner, lit a cigarette, and placed a silver suitcase at his feet.
Two young men walked over from a distance, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, chatting and laughing as they walked. When they reached the bus stop, one bent down to tie his shoelaces, while the other threw his cigarette butt into the trash can.
"Your woman and child will be waiting for you at the entrance of Lida Shopping Mall in half an hour."
The silver suitcase was taken away.
Xiang Jingheng remained standing in the same spot, white smoke rising from his fingertips, obscuring the coldness in his eyes.
Half an hour later, Xiang Jingheng stood anxiously waiting at the entrance of the mall.
The plainclothes officers hid among the nearby pedestrians and vendors, observing this direction discreetly.
As soon as a van stopped at the mall entrance, a woman and a child were dropped off. Xiang Jingheng's expression changed drastically, and he rushed to meet them.
"Jing Heng!"
Gan Xiaoxing's face turned deathly pale. She threw herself into Xiang Jingheng's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "I was so scared! I thought I would never see you again!"
"It's alright, it's alright."
Xiang Jingheng gently patted her back twice, touched his son's dusty little face, and hugged him tightly in his arms as if he had regained what he had lost. When he touched his neck, he immediately felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Chu, do you have a fever?"
Xiang Jingheng touched his son's face again, and Xiang Chu's breath was hot.
"Get the car ready, we're going to the hospital!" Xiang Jingheng shouted to the people behind him.
"Dad..." Xiang Chu called out to him in a trembling voice. Xiang Jingheng responded quickly, looking at his son with heartache.
Xiang Chu's lips were almost bloodless. "Quick, quick, go save her! She's bleeding so much..."
After saying that, Xiang Chu rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Xiao Chu!"
Gan Xiaoxing shouted urgently, but Xiang Jingheng stood there frozen in place, as if petrified.
"Where's Yu Yan?" Xiang Jingheng picked up Xiang Chu, his eyes wide with fury as he looked at Gan Xiaoxing. "Why didn't Yu Yan come out with you?"
Gan Xiaoxing trembled violently at Xiang Jingheng's ferocious expression.
—
Shao Muyan only realized that Yu Yan was in trouble 45 minutes after he had spoken with her.
When Shao Muyan arrived at the mall, he tried calling Yu Yan but couldn't get through.
When Shao Muyan smelled a strange odor during the elevator repair, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
When the premonition came, Shao Muyan immediately checked the mall's surveillance footage... The last scene Yu Yan appeared in was in the elevator, where Gan Xiaoxing and Xiang Chu also went in.
...So, when the elevator malfunctioned, Yu Yan, Gan Xiaoxing, and Xiang Chu were all inside.
When Shao Muyan realized that the composition of the smoke was wrong, like sleeping pills, his expression changed instantly.
He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Second Brother, I need your help. Yu Yan is in trouble!"
Shao Muyan was very certain.
Yu Yan wouldn't ignore her calls for no reason, nor would her phone be turned off for no reason. Yu Yan is never willful, nor would she do anything to cause worry.
As Shao Muyan followed the phone's tracker all the way there, his expression was more unpleasant than ever before.
The Third Master, who was usually unfazed by even the most severe pressure, showed a near-panic expression for the first time in front of them. The Shao family members dared not breathe too loudly in the car, and they were all secretly worried for Miss Yu.
There has always been an unwritten rule in upstate that scientists involved in major scientific research projects must have a tracker installed on their mobile phones.
Some are even implanted into the body.
Each tracker has a unique serial number. In the unfortunate event of an accident, the relevant departments can accurately locate the body by checking the serial number, facilitating timely rescue efforts, or... recovering the body.
The little green dot on the screen finally stopped moving when we reached the entrance of a warehouse.
The Shao family pulled Shao Muyan back, and the police officers rushed into the warehouse with hand signals. The moment they broke down the warehouse door, everyone froze on the spot.
Several burly men lay sprawled on the ground, already unconscious.
In the very center of the warehouse, Yu Yan was suspended in mid-air with her hands bound. Her face, hands, arms, and body were covered in blood, which stained her snow-white shirt and blue jeans, a shocking sight.
Her calves were twisted in a strange way, and her whole body was supported by one toe.
Shao Muyan pushed through the crowd and was horrified when he saw what was happening. He quickly reacted, grabbed Yu Yan, and shouted behind him, "Save her!"
The rope was cut, and Yu Yan collapsed into Shao Muyan's arms like a cotton ball.
Shao Muyan held her as if she were a broken vase, unsure where to put his hands so as not to hurt her, completely oblivious to the blood covering his own body.
"Kanyan..."
It seemed someone was calling her nickname. Yu Yan awoke from the sea of blood and pain, opened her eyes with difficulty, recognized the person holding her, and gave a weak, pale smile.
"Uncle Yan, I won again. They didn't succeed."
Shao Muyan felt a lump in his throat and his eyes reddened. He picked Yu Yan up and carried her outside, where a medical vehicle was already prepared.
The Shao family members crowded around, "Third Master."
"Not one will be spared."
Shao Muyan's face was filled with undisguised anger, and his voice was icy cold, "I want them to spend the rest of their lives in prison, in darkness and despair. I want them to never see the light of day again."
