"Ji Yan, they say that evil deeds live on for a thousand years. You've been a scourge to me for so long, you won't die so easily. If you dare to die, I'll take Bu Yi with me and marry someone else, so your daughter will call that person 'Dad,' and you won't find peace even as a ghost."
She pressed the accelerator again, but her vision was already blurred. She could only force herself to wipe away her tears again and again, suppressing her heartache.
Over at the unfinished building, a group of people, following Ji Fuying's instructions, were preparing to rush in to rescue people when suddenly, another group moved even faster than them.
Before we could even see who they were, they had all gone into the unfinished building.
The fire inside grew larger and larger, and one side of the building had even collapsed. At this moment, Ji Yan was trapped in a triangular area.
He knew it might be a trap when the explosion happened, but he was still worried that Bu Yi might actually be inside, so he didn't retreat and missed the best opportunity to evacuate.
"President Ji, President Ji..."
Just as he was about to push open the wall blocking his way with all his might, he heard Han Xiao's urgent shouts.
He took a deep breath before shouting Han Xiao's name, "Han Xiao, go in and see if there's a little girl inside?"
Upon hearing the shouts, Han Xiao quickly located Ji Yan's position and immediately instructed the people behind him to begin rescue efforts.
While trying to calm Ji Yan, who was on the verge of a breakdown, she said, "Mr. Ji, we just received news that Miss Buyi has been taken to the dock."
"The dock? They want to smuggle her out of the country. We need to get there as soon as possible and have people near the dock intercept her."
"Miss Ji, President Mo, and Lu Ci have all headed to the dock."
"I'm still not at ease, go even faster."
The thought of the danger that little girl who used to hug him, call him "uncle" affectionately, and make promises with him was about to face made his heart ache like it was being cut by a knife.
He would never let anything happen to her, no matter the cost.
With everyone working together, they pried open the wall, and Ji Yan, once freed, quickly ran out.
Han Xiao could only run to catch up. He wanted to sit in the driver's seat but Ji Yan pulled him down. In the end, he could only sit in the passenger seat and continue to contact people near the dock to investigate the situation.
The largest port in Country A.
The dilapidated dock vehicle circled around several times before finally abandoning the car in a grove of trees.
Two men got out of the car. One carried the unconscious Bu Yi, while the other held Xiao He, whose eyes were red and swollen. The four of them walked together toward the dock.
"You absolutely must not hurt her. Once you get the money, let her go." Xiao He looked at Bu Yi, who had a serene expression, and felt a pang of heartache.
The man holding her sneered, "You can barely take care of yourself, yet you have time to worry about others. She has to die today. If you behave, maybe I can spare your life."
Upon hearing that Bu Yi would die, Xiao He panicked and froze in place, staring in terror at the two menacing-looking men.
"You clearly said you only wanted money, so why did you kill her? You lied to me!"
"We've captured the Lu family's only little princess; she's doomed anyway, so why should we let her go? Let's go."
They were all desperate criminals, and killing was commonplace for them, so naturally they felt no guilt.
"No, please let her go. If you let her go back, I can plead with the Lu family for her. If you insist on killing someone, then kill me. You are all people who should have children at your age. You can't be so cruel."
The man kicked her hard. "Letting your grandson go back is already merciful of us. If you say another word, I'll drag your grandson back and have him buried with her."
Xiao He was stunned for a few seconds, and endless guilt surged into her heart. She was simply worse than an animal. Her grandson's life was precious, but the young lady's life wasn't?
"Young lady, it's my fault. If we can't escape today, I'll die with you. I'm so sorry."
She was being dragged forward with one hand, while secretly dropping a small, transparent bead onto the ground with the other.
That was the beaded necklace that the young lady always wore around her neck. She had already broken it off, and she would drop a bead every so often so that the Lu family could easily find their location when they came looking for them.
They were taken aboard one of the cruise ships, and Xiao He took advantage of a break in the cruise to throw all the remaining beads into the sea.
After boarding the ship, she was tied to a bench with her hands and feet. The man who had been holding her searched her body and took all her valuables.
"Where is the young lady? Where did you take her?"
"Don't rush, you'll see her when the time is right."
The man turned and left, heading to the control room, where a man and a woman were monitoring the pursuers.
"The girl has been brought back. Are we going to spread the news?"
The woman tapped her fingers lightly on the computer screen. "There's no need to spread the word. The people who are meant to come are already on their way."
"Min Yue, are you saying that the other side also has a master like you?" A hint of curiosity flashed across the other man's face.
"Brother Ji, I have to leave now. I'll leave the rest to you."
Min Yue had no liking for this person who had been assigned by Aunt Lan; the person looked at her with an intensely burning desire.
Unfortunately, his relationship with Aunt Lan was not ordinary, so she could only treat him with respect and flattery, and occasionally even have to entice him. Only in this way could she make him willingly do things for her.
"Don't worry, I'll handle the rest perfectly. After today, my moment of glory will arrive, and I'll definitely treat you well then."
"Well, then I'll thank you in advance, Brother Ji." Min Yue left the control room and walked towards a small boat not far away, just in case, she still couldn't completely trust him.
She knew that Aunt Lan valued this matter very much. If she could accomplish it, she might be able to legitimately take over the position of head of Qingfeng Hall.
On the deck, Bu Yi, whose hands and feet were bound, opened her eyes groggily. She didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the place where she was lying.
When she saw clearly, she began to feel scared. She knew she had been kidnapped by bad guys, but she dared not cry out.
She knew that adults hated children's crying the most, and if her crying attracted the people who were arresting her, she might get a beating.
Moreover, she knew that her mother would definitely come to save her, and that her uncle and that other uncle would also come to save her, so she had to be strong and not be afraid.
She looked around and it seemed she was on a ship, so was she on the open sea?
I used to always say I wanted to go on a boat and see the sea. This wish is not good at all. Mommy, how long until you come to rescue me?
Meanwhile, Ji Fuying had found the dilapidated van, but unfortunately, those people had already abandoned the vehicle and fled. Even Bu Yi was nowhere to be found.
Looking at the incredibly wide dock not far away, her worry deepened. How was she going to find Bu Yi at such a large dock?
