That biological research institute specializes in illegal and inhumane research.
After identifying the person who kidnapped Qiqi, the police immediately located the suspicious vehicle and reviewed surveillance footage along the route.
When Ji Chengfeng saw that the car had followed the little girl's car to the restaurant, and witnessed the little girl's transformation into a paper crane on the way, he fell into a long silence, and was absolutely certain that the little girl had deliberately let the other party kidnap her.
My heart was relieved; my little girl is very capable, she'll definitely be able to protect herself.
The key issue now is to locate the little girl as soon as possible and rescue her.
He realized that his sister had deliberately shown off her skills to help him, which made her a target for those people.
Ji Jinnian felt extremely guilty and remorseful, and lowered his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"It's none of your business!"
Although worried about his little girl's safety, Ji Chengfeng would not vent his anger on his son without reason.
He patted Ji Jinnian's head. "But Jinnian, this incident should serve as a reminder to you. It's certainly commendable to be engrossed in scientific research and want to solve problems and achieve something through your own efforts. However, not everyone in this world is like you, solely focused on obtaining a result. Most people are looking to maximize their own profits through this method. They have very low or even no moral compass. As long as there is profit to be made, they can ignore everything."
The thirteen-year-old boy listened quietly, his eyes behind his glasses lowered, his thick, long eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes, but his silent and aloof face was full of contemplation and reflection.
Indeed, he still looked aloof and mature beyond his years, but in reality, he still had the heart of a young man.
I act more according to my heart, because I know I have someone to back me up, so I rarely consider external factors.
But this time, reality taught him a harsh lesson.
"If I'm not mistaken, you got some of Qiqi's pills and talismans from Elder Sheng, right?" Ji Chengfeng looked at his son, who was already reflecting. "You took those things to do research and inadvertently leaked the results to the outside world."
Ji Jinnian was stunned, then looked up abruptly, "Dad, you mean... Charles and those people were attracted by the research results I published?"
Upon closer reflection, it's actually quite possible.
Qiqi's pills were indeed miraculous, but even more miraculous were her talismans.
Although he concealed the traces of those talismans in the results he released, the efficacy of the medicine alone was enough to tempt those who were only interested in profit.
"Qi Bao must have guessed this, which is why he deliberately showed off his mystical arts in front of those people to make them shift their focus."
Just as Ji Chengfeng was about to continue, Huo Yusen suddenly spoke up in a cold voice, "Qiqi is precocious, smarter than most children. She knows those people are after her, so she definitely won't let Second Brother Ji suffer in her place. We must find her as soon as possible. Although Qiqi is powerful, as far as I know, Charles has developed many new types of poisons over the years that have not been tested."
He was somewhat worried that the ingredients of those poisons were unknown, and Qiqi's medicine might not be able to counteract them.
"The police are already investigating. Once they locate the suspect, they will immediately organize a rescue!"
"Um."
Huo Yusen frowned and nodded; his handsome face was somewhat frightening.
If any of those people dare to harm a single hair on Qiqi's head, he will kill them even if it means using the entire Huo family's power!
***
At this time, Qiqi had no idea that her family had almost turned the entire Jiangcheng upside down in their search for her.
She was lying in Charles's car, pretending to be unconscious.
But... I'm starting to lose the pretense.
Because I'm so hungry!
She had gone out for lunch with her second brother, but before she could even taste any of the delicious food he ordered, this big bad guy kidnapped her.
Moreover, the sleeping pills that the big bad guy gave her were terribly ineffective; even without the antidote, she would only be unconscious for ten minutes at most.
What's more, just to be on the safe side, she also swallowed an antidote pill, and now she is fully conscious and feeling the hunger in her stomach, and she is on the verge of collapse.
Mingming often went hungry when she was in the orphanage, but she didn't think much of it at the time.
But since her parents brought her home, she hasn't gone hungry for a long time. She eats her fill at every meal, and there are also delicious desserts, snacks, and fruits in between.
Indeed, it's easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, and from extravagance to frugality... it's simply deadly!
In the quiet carriage, a "gurgle" sound could be heard from time to time.
At first, no one paid attention, but when the sound kept ringing out, Charles couldn't hold back any longer.
He growled in a low voice, his face grim, "Who on earth made this strange sound?"
Everyone looked at each other, and all denied it, saying, "It wasn't me."
Finally, Charles turned his gaze to the little girl beside him, who was sleeping on her belly like a kitten basking in the sun.
All right!
Seeing that she couldn't keep up the act any longer, Qiqi resignedly opened her eyes.
With her big, bright eyes looking at Charles innocently and naively, she pouted and said, "It's me, Uncle. I'm hungry!"
The little girl had a soft, adorable face, with big, misty eyes staring straight at you, making you feel incredibly soft-hearted.
No one could bring themselves to say a bad word to such a little guy.
Even Charles, who always had a bottom line and believed he would never show mercy to anyone, couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for him at this moment.
“I’m sorry, little one. You may have to bear with it a little longer. I’ll prepare something to eat for you once we get to our destination,” Charles said in an unexpectedly gentle tone.
The little girl's big eyes immediately filled with tears.
Charles felt a chill run down his spine.
His mind raced, trying to figure out how to comfort her if she started crying.
But the little girl was very well-behaved; she sniffed and managed to hold back her tears.
Instead, she turned to look out the car window, then looked at him timidly and asked in a small voice, "Uncle, this doesn't seem to be the way to my dad's company. Where are we going?"
Charles was somewhat surprised that the little girl actually recognized that this wasn't the way to her father's company.
“This is definitely not the way to your father’s company, because your father isn’t here; he’s somewhere else,” Charles said with a smile. “Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.”
The little girl seemed easy to fool; she actually believed him when he said that.
After her stomach growled again, she rubbed her round little belly and asked pitifully, "Is there really no food at all?"
