Chapter 479: A Terrible Thought
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Yup, I’ll be the one doing all the envying in the future. I’ll be jealous of your super handsome husband and your adorable daughter. Yanyan, you’re living proof that God always leaves the best for last. You’ve waited so long for your happiness. You have my blessings.”
They toasted each other, and happily dug into the grilled meat.
They had not gotten very far into their meal when a group of unfamiliar men barged into the private room. The men made a grab for Xu Xiyan, moving quickly and without hesitation.
Xu Xiyan had been caught off-guard. By the time she realized what was happening, the men had wrapped their hands around her arms.
“Let go of me! Who are you?”
Xu Xiyan struggled, knocking over the wine bottle and BBQ grill with her feet. The wine bottle and grilled meat rolled onto the floor.
Fang Xiaocheng saw the men drag Xu Xiyan out of the private room. She quickly ran after them and tried to grab hold of Xu Xiyan. “Hey! What are you doing?! Let go of her!”
The men were violent and ruthless. One of them kicked Fang Xiaocheng, sending her toppling to the floor. They whisked Xu Xiyan away.
“Yanyan…”
Fang Xiaocheng got up from the floor. She ran out of the BBQ restaurant, but Xu Xiyan was nowhere to be seen.
Just then, Fang Xiaocheng felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet; it crept upwards, all the way to the top of her head. A terrible thought occurred to her: this had to be a kidnapping. What was she to do?
Those men had rushed into a public building and snatched Xu Xiyan away in broad daylight. They were worse than thugs. Was Xu Xiyan in danger?
Frightened, Fang Xiaocheng thought of calling the police, but she knew it would be some time before the police sent someone to investigate.
Fang Xiaocheng was worried sick for Xu Xiyan. She needed all the help she could get.
Fang Xiaocheng suddenly thought of Huo Yunshen and the number he had left her. He had told her that she was welcome to dial the number any time she needed help—he would do his best to help her, no strings attached.
She had assumed then that Huo Yunshen was just being polite, and anyway she had not been unlucky enough to have to call the number and ask for his help. But now Fang Xiaocheng did not hesitate to dial the number. She would take whatever help he could offer; it was better than sitting around twiddling her thumbs, waiting for something to happen.
The number Huo Yunshen gave Fang Xiaocheng was actually Yi Xiao’s. Yi Xiao answered his phone, and was surprised to hear that it was Fang Xiaocheng. As soon as he learned of what had happened to Xu Xiyan, he immediately reported it to Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen was frantic with worry when he heard that Xu Xiyan had been kidnapped. He wheeled himself out the door without bothering to change his clothes or shoes. At the same time, he issued an order to Yi Xiao: “Get someone to look for her, quickly. Find her, and make sure she’s safe, as soon as you can!”
“Young Master, I’ve already sent a few men to investigate. We should be hearing from them soon.”
Yi Xiao always knew what Huo Yunshen wanted. He knew what needed to be done, and when.
Huo Yunshen had not even reached the front door of his mansion when Yi Xiao’s men reported back with their findings. They had checked the surveillance video for the BBQ restaurant, found the suspects’ vehicle, and tracked it to a private estate.
But security was tight in the estate; it was difficult for someone without authorized access to see what was going on inside.
Huo Yunshen inwardly seethed. Someone had been bold enough to lay a finger on Xu Xiyan in broad daylight. Whoever it was probably had a death wish.
Huo Yunshen wanted badly to take several men with him on a rescue mission to save Xu Xiyan, but his wheelchair would slow everyone down. His best bet was to send his most efficient man to execute the rescue mission.
Who should he send?
The best man for the job was—Ye Xun.
Huo Yunshen already knew Ye Xun’s real identity: he was an outstanding member of JS, and his codename was Dark Dragon.
Ye Xun was soaking comfortably in his bathtub when Huo Yunshen called him on his phone.
He glanced at his phone, and saw that it was Huo Yunshen’s number. The last time Huo Yunshen had called him, he had asked Ye Xun to help pick up Ying Bao. What was it this time?
Ye Xun lazily raised the phone to his ear. “Yes?”
