Instead of feeling the pain as expected, Ling Yiran heard Zheng Yahui's cries. "My... My hands are going to break..."He Wanlong happened to come out of the house at this moment and saw a stranger gripping his wife's hands. His wife's face had turned crimson as she cried out in pain."Who... Who are you guys? L-Let go of my wife!" shouted He Wanlong.However, the stranger who was holding Zheng Yahui's hands did not move and ignored He Wanlong. He just looked at the other handsome man standing beside him as if waiting for his orders.He Wanlong naturally saw that the handsome, elegant, and indifferent man in a dapper suit was the one in charge, so he said, "Ask him to let go of my wife, or I'll call the police.""You can try calling the police, then." Yi Jinli glanced coldly at He Wanlong, which made him shudder.Ling Yiran did not expect Yi Jinli to come so soon. Her eyes instantly reddened. "Jin... Lil Ci has really been kidnapped!"Even just by overhearing the conversation, sh
Before long, he heard a burst of footsteps down the stairs. The people around him had all dispersed. The neighbors shut their doors, and there were no neighbors left in the corridor."Who... Who the hell are you?" He Wanlong asked as he quivered.Yi Jinli looked condescendingly at He Wanlong and said coldly, "I'm Yi Jinli, Lil Ci's father!"He Wanlong and Zheng Yahui's faces were instantly full of shock!...This ordinary apartment building was surrounded by a group of men in black suits. Many onlookers had gathered below the building, discussing and wondering what was going on.The fifth floor, where the He family lived, was quiet. A bodyguard stood at almost every staircase, and no one made a sound. People who did not know what was going on would probably think something huge was happening.In the He family's living room, Zheng Yahui's hands were hurting like hell. However, she was scared to shoot her mouth off for fear of upsetting the man sitting on the couch.Who would hav
He Zixin said somewhat timidly, "Will the kidnappers ask for a lot of money? On TV, kidnappers kidnap children for money. If... If you don't have enough money, I can give you all my money. I... I still have the money my mother gave me. I'll talk to the lawyer. He'll give it to me in advance and then we can save Lil Ci."Enduring the pain, Zheng Yahui said, "They... They have money to spend. Your money is nothing to them! Do you know who they are? Lil Ci is so lucky to have them as parents!"He Zixin ignored Zheng Yahui and just looked at Ling Yiran earnestly. She did not know who Yi Jinli was, nor what status the Yi family had in Shen City. All she knew was that they were people who were willing to save Lil Ci!Ling Yiran's nose felt sore. She instantly took He Zixin into her arms. "Uncle Yi and I will prepare the money. Don't worry, Zixin.""I'm sorry... I... I didn't take good care of Lil Ci!" sobbed He Zixin. The girl who had viciously bared her teeth to her stepmother earlier s
Late at night, Secretary Wang was taken to a room in the detention center, where the only source of light was a lamp that shone a bright yellow glow.Yi Jinli was sitting on a chair in front of a table, staring at Secretary Wang with cold eyes.The prison guard who brought Secretary Wang here left the room and closed the door, leaving only Secretary Wang and Yi Jinli inside."You seem to know I would come," said Yi Jinli."I didn’t, but you must have something to ask me if you’re here to see me, Young Master," Secretary Wang said with a faint smile."Lil Ci is my and Yiran's child. Who else besides you knows about this?" asked Yi Jinli as he stared straight at him.If an ordinary person was stared at like this by Yi Jinli, they would probably feel some pressure. However, Secretary Wang looked relaxed. "I don't understand what you're talking about, Young Master.""You don't?" Yi Jinli got up and approached Secretary Wang. He raised his hand and grabbed Secretary Wang's head befor
When Yi Jinli said Hao Yimeng's name, Secretary Wang stiffened slightly. Although it was only for a brief moment, Yi Jinli already saw through him.'Hao Yimeng... Hao Yimeng knows Lil Ci is my and Yiran's son. Did Hao Yimeng do this?'The police and the Yi family had not found Hao Yimeng even after so many years. Secretary Wang must have played a major role in this.Otherwise, how could Hao Yimeng have remained hidden for so many years after losing her wealth and status?Yi Jinli let go of the man, got up, and looked coldly at Secretary Wang, who was lying awkwardly on the ground. "If anything happens to my son, I’ll send you to meet the old master!”His voice was so cold that it made Secretary Wang shiver. Young Master seemed to have gone back to being the young master from before, who had not known Ling Yiran yet.Cruel, decisive, and ruthless—this was what Old Master Yi thought the heir of the Yi family should look like.However, Young Master was only showing such a ruthless
However, it was possible that Hao Yimeng was the mastermind. Ling Yiran panicked! She was afraid that when she saw her child again, he would already be a cold corpse."Don't worry." Yi Jinli hugged Ling Yiran tightly. "Our child isn't that vulnerable! Besides, Secretary Wang said he had trained and taught Lil Ci a lot of skills. It's unlikely that the little guy will let Hao Yimeng have her way."Ling Yiran was momentarily stunned. Yi Jinli then told her what Secretary Wang said about Lil Ci's childhood.Ling Yiran started sobbing, and tears welled up in her eyes as she listened.'My child suffered all these at such an early age! He's the same age as... Lil Jin, but while Lil Jin was sleeping in my arms, Lil Ci was engaged in all kinds of fights. He probably even fought with fierce dogs just to become an heir fit for the Yi family.'But Lil Ci's just a child! A child who couldn’t even speak fluently!"How... How could Secretary Wang do that? Why... Why did Lil Ci have to suffer l
Five-year-old children knew what kidnapping meant. Although they were still a little hazy about it, they knew that it was a terrible thing.Yi Qianjin and Yi Qianmo remembered Lil Ci. After all, they had seen him at the amusement park before, so they had an impression of him.After finding out that Lil Ci was their brother, Yi Qianjin's eyes widened in surprise. She made a ruckus for quite a while.Yi Qianmo was only stunned for a moment before accepting the fact."Mommy, I'll save Lil Bro." Yi Qianmo looked at Ling Yiran, who had a sad look on her face. He made a serious promise. He immediately regarded Lil Ci as his younger brother.'Um... I'm the eldest one, so I'm responsible for protecting my younger siblings!'"Lil Mo, I know your intentions, but there are already so many uncles here to save Lil Bro. You just need to stay home with your sister for a few days," said Ling Yiran as she stroked her eldest son's small head.Yi Qianmo blinked and did not say anything more. Inste
She got up from her chair with a start."Wha’s wrong?" asked Yi Jinli as he hurried to Ling Yiran's side."It's Hao Yimeng!" said Ling Yiran as she pointed at the woman on the screen who was seen approaching Xiao Ziqi. She recognized Hao Yimeng at a glance even though the video quality was not very clear and Hao Yimeng had changed a lot in the past five years.After all, Hao Yimeng was her biggest nightmare—a horrible nightmare!Yi Jinli narrowed his eyes and watched the surveillance footage with Ling Yiran, who paused the scene when Hao Yimeng beckoned a child over to Xiao Ziqi.She remembered... this child. It was the little boy who played the piano really well at the exhibition that day.'Is the child related to Hao Yimeng? Could the child be... Hao Yimeng's?'Hao Yimeng had brought the child to meet Xiao Ziqi. In other words, could the child... be Xiao Ziqi's?This speculation ran through Ling Yiran's head. It was not long before someone found surveillance footage of Hao Yi
