"Damn it, I'm going to kill this dog!"
The leader, furious, immediately reached into his chest.
"Ming Ge, no!"
His brother's cry jolted the man, who had lost his sanity. He spat out a deep breath, his eyes filled with venom as he slowly approached the black dog. Then, with lightning speed and extreme force, he struck.
The large black dog, still recovering from a previous injury, reacted a second late. The next moment, the stick landed on its body. After several blows, the man finally felt a sense of release, while the dog only let out muffled groans.
"Good! You've got guts. I'll deal with you next time you show up!" He figured he had broken the dog's bones with his brutal attack, yet it hadn't even cried out.
Several men bound the child securely. They nimbly climbed over the wall and, upon descending, tossed the child down below.
Then, carrying the child, they quickly sprinted towards a car parked nearby.
After they left, the large black dog spat out the cloth and blood from its mouth, let out a mournful cry to the sky, and then... followed them!
Guided by the black dog, the principal also rushed over with his men. If it had been any other child, the principal would have left it to others. However, these three were Xuan Mohan's children, so not a single mistake could be afforded!
On his way, he had already alerted the police and notified Xuan Mohan, but his calls went unanswered for a long time.
He assumed Xuan Mohan, busy with state affairs, had simply not seen the calls. But now the situation was urgent, and they had no idea what the kidnappers intended to do. If anything happened, he wouldn't escape blame, especially after offending the Xuan family. Moreover, if he implicated that person...
With this thought, the principal, his face grim, immediately looked at the person beside him. "Go, retrieve the phone number for the Xuan family's old residence and inform them."
...
"Has the young master returned?"
As soon as Luo Qinlan arrived, she looked at Sister Zhang. Sister Zhang, with her head bowed, had an unreadable expression. "The young master has not returned."
Not back yet? Where could he have gone? But soon, a woman appeared in her mind. "Let's go see what kind of girl our son likes so much that he's head over heels for her!"
He openly refused An Ran and even wanted to sever ties with them. She wanted to see how capable that woman was!
In Luo Qinlan's mind, she had already categorized that woman as highly manipulative. Otherwise, how could her exceptionally intelligent son act so irrationally?
As she turned, the house phone in the living room rang.
Luo Qinlan glanced at Xuan Hongyi, who strode over with his long legs, his demeanor calm.
"Who is it?"
Upon hearing the deep, resonant voice from the receiver, the caller immediately recognized it as Xuan Hongyi, the head of the Xuan family.
"Hello, Chairman Xuan. I am Chen Hui, the principal of Peter Kindergarten. A group of people suddenly broke into the school earlier. We don't know their origin, and they abducted the three siblings, Lan Hanyu. We are deeply sorry for this and will actively cooperate with you in their rescue."
Lan Hanyu? They've been kidnapped?
Xuan Hongyi's mind immediately conjured the image of the three cute and clever little ones, and a flicker of worry arose in his heart.
"I know!"
After hanging up the phone, Xuan Hongyi made another call. After issuing his instructions, he immediately looked at his wife.
"You hurry and save them!" Before Xuan Hongyi could even speak, Luo Qinlan began to urge him. In contrast, Luo Qinlan's face was filled with anxiety.
She genuinely loved those children. It was obvious that if they had managed to reach the old residence, they wouldn't have been able to contact Mohan. If Hongyi didn't go, they would be in danger. But what about their parents?
Xuan Hongyi nodded, his face grim, and quickly walked out.
...
"Qianya!"
When the man arrived, out of breath, he saw his beloved kneeling on the ground, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"How do you do your job!"
Hearing the voice, the woman on this side finally regained her senses. Turning to look at the man reprimanding the people below, she immediately said:
"Aman, hurry and take this child to the hospital! I've already administered first aid."
It was then that the man noticed the child in the woman's arms. He immediately strode forward, picked up the child, and headed towards the car parked by the roadside.
"Qianya, you..."
On the way, the man wanted to ask about his daughter, but he was afraid of upsetting his wife, so he ultimately remained silent.
However, the woman grasped his broad hand, speaking with excitement and joy, "Aman, I... I really saw our daughter. It's not my hallucination..."
The man said hoarsely, "Alright, I've already sent people to investigate. Don't worry!"
But the woman knew that the man didn't believe her at all! She understood; if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she would have thought it was fake too, after so many years had passed.
However, she intended to stay here for a while longer until she found her Duoduo.
She then looked down at the pale little girl. She was the same age as Duoduo had been then. How heartbroken she would be if Duoduo had been like this!
"This child was lucky too. She was washed ashore by the flood and clung to a broken branch, preventing her from being swept into the river."
She had walked around this area for a long time, and combined with the paths she had taken before, she knew that this river flowed into a larger river on the other side of the overpass.
It was also because the child's frame was small that she wasn't swept away by the immense force of the current.
"Vroom vroom vroom~"
The man's stern, handsome face lowered to glance at the incoming call. "What is it?"
Principal Chen Hui reported immediately, "The Xuan family's children were kidnapped today. I request your assistance with reinforcements!"
The Xuan family?
They had mentioned before that Xuan Mohan had children. "Hmm, I understand. I'll send someone over immediately."
Just as he was about to hang up, the principal on the other end slapped his forehead, his voice so fast it was almost inaudible, "Baroque followed them!"
What?!
If the woman had been a little worried upon hearing about the kidnapped children earlier, then upon hearing about Baroque, she completely lost control of her emotions!
"Aman, let's hurry and go too! Baroque absolutely cannot be harmed!"
Uh...
He knew his wife would become frantic and lose her composure whenever it involved their daughter Duoduo.
When their daughter was just learning to walk, he had personally found a dog to be her companion. She had liked it very much, and they had named the dog using a character from their daughter's name: Luo.
After their daughter disappeared, they had established a school to pray for her. The dog had stayed behind, essentially hoping to find their daughter. He hadn't expected that this principal would be so capable, his enterprise growing larger and larger.
But why would Baroque go to save a stranger?
"You stay here, I'll go!"
He naturally cared a great deal about the dog as well, so he would personally go to retrieve it.
"No, I want to see it safe with my own eyes. I won't be at ease if I don't see it. That's Duoduo's beloved pet!"
Yes, it's our daughter's precious dog. However, Baroque is likely injured now. It will try desperately to save those it wants to save. If it fails, it will be due to insufficient ability, and it will await an opportune moment!
