Chapter 445 - Tuan Zi was Kidnapped?
The knife in Jiang Rui’s hand instantly fell on the floor.
“Brother Xiao Rui?” Chen Chen ran in. “What’s wrong?”
The man slowly turned around, and his eyes were full of panic which Chen Chen had seldom seen.
Maybe it was a connection between a mother and her daughter. Chen Chen subconsciously asked, “Is it… Tuan Zi…”
Jiang Rui, who wanted to hide it from her, nodded. “Liuliu, don’t worry. Tuan Zi left voluntarily in mum’s words.”
“Tuan Zi left? Where did she go?” Chen Chen trembled, so Jiang Rui hurriedly held her into his arms. “She must have gone back.”
Chen Chen looked scared. “How did she come back by herself? Why did she come back?”
“Liuliu…” Jiang Rui had to tell her that Xu Li was Long Zhen’ao. “I’ll call Xiao Si right now. There is a locator on Tuan Zi. We can find her.”
Boss Wan called them again before Xiao Si could start the search.
“Tuan Zi secretly hid on the helicopter and followed Wan Yi out. I can track her the whole time. She just arrived in the capital and Xunxun is on the way.” Boss Wan finished his words and there came Chen Huan’s voice.
“Liuliu, you can’t get worried or cry at this moment, or you’ll cause Xiao Rui more trouble.”
Jiang Rui interrupted her. “Mum, it’s nothing. Liuliu is just worried. I’ll ask Ah Zi to accompany her.”
Having hung up the phone, Jiang Rui picked up the car key and was about to leave, but Chen Chen wouldn’t let him go.
“I’ll go with you!” She stared at Jiang Rui. “You can’t leave me alone at home to wait.”
Jiang Rui looked at her. She was trembling, but there was stubbornness in her eyes.
“Okay, let’s go together!”
By then, Tuan Zi already reached the gate of the school.
“Hei Zi, I’ll go in alone now. Maybe I can bump into him. You have to wait outside.”
“Woof!” Hei Zi barked hard.
Tuan Zi shook her head. “Dogs are not allowed to go into the school. My dad must have known I’m here. When he arrives, you should run fast, in case he beat you up.”
Hei Zi saw Tuan Zi walking into the school when it was sobbing, then it hid itself behind the fence. After a while, it saw Jiang Rui’s car coming over.
Jiang Rui, who was about to drag Chen Chen into the school, suddenly changed the direction.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Chen saw him standing still by the fence.
Jiang Rui took a look at her and then pointed at the blossoms. “Come out!”
The pink roses fluttered with the wind, and a black dog’s head came out.
“Hei Zi?” Chen Chen asked immediately after the surprising feeling, “Where is Tuan Zi?”
“Woof… woof! woof!… Woof!” Hei Zi barked crazily for quite a while.
“Do you understand?” Chen Chen was very nervous.
Jiang Rui kicked Hei Zi. “Lead the way.”
Hei Zi rushed out quickly, and the guard in the school tried to catch it. Jiang Rui showed the identification. The guard couldn’t see it clearly but he remembered that the headmaster was warm to him last time Jiang Rui was here. Therefore, he didn’t stop them.
They searched through more than half of the school but still didn’t find Tuan Zi. Chen Chen became worried. “Hei Zi, are you sure Tuan Zi is in the school?”
“Woof!” Hei Zi nervously circled in the same place.
Jiang Rui frowned and made a call. “Xiao Si, is Tuan Zi still in the school?”
“Master, I was about to call you. Tuan Zi has left the school.”
“Where did she head to?”
“To the seaside. Bear and Scar have headed there.”
Having hung up the phone, Jiang Rui pulled Chen Chen to run. “Let’s go to the seaside.”
On the halfway, Bear’s call arrived.
“Master, we didn’t make it. Tuan Zi got on a boat.”
Jiang Rui heard the words and answered right away, “Stay there.”
“Where is Tuan Zi? Where is Tuan Zi?” Chen Chen asked cryingly, “Is she caught?”
Jiang Rui made a call when holding her hand.
“Second Uncle, I need help from the navy. Besides, inform them to block the sea. Tuan Zi is on the boat!” After the words, Jiang Rui hung up before Jiang Qianren could react. He turned around and saw Chen Chen’s face full of tears.
“Liuliu, we can track down the signal. Wherever Tuan Zi is, we can find her. Long Zhen’ao caught her to do research. He won’t hurt her.” Jiang Rui wiped off her tears. “Maybe I should send you home first?”
Chen Chen stopped crying right away. She wiped her face. “I’m okay. Let’s go.”
That afternoon, the sea protection of the capital was suddenly enhanced. The civilians saw many cars from the troops driving to the coast. Some journalists heard the news and took action. All of a sudden, everyone waited for the exposure online.
Jiang Qianren took some soldiers along in person. When Jiang Rui arrived, Xiao Si told him, “Master, they are not on the boat anymore. They must be on a plane. It moves very fast.”
Jiang Rui held Chen Chen and stood by the seaside. The endless sea brought worries to people as if there was no hope.
“Wuwu… Tuan Zi.” Chen Chen cried out loud. Jiang Qianren wanted to comfort her, but she just rolled her eyes and passed out in Jiang Rui’s arms.
“Liuliu…”
“Sister-in-law…”
Bear started the car right away. Jiang Rui held Chen Chen to get seated. “Uncle, sorry to have troubled you. You can let the fellows go back first.”
“Okay. You make up the plan and inform me at any time.”
The car was driven at an extremely high speed. Bear asked, “Go home or to the hospital?”
“Go home.” Jiang Rui felt Chen Chen’s face. “She is terribly scared.”
Bear just parked the car downstairs when he saw a small head on the window of Jiang Rui’s home.
“Dad! Mum!”
Jiang Rui, who used to be always calm, almost tumbled.
“Tuan Zi?”
He carried Chen Chen back home. Then he saw Long Zhen’ao recovered his own appearance and was eating noodles on the couch.
“You’re too slow. You can’t catch me at this speed.” He sucked a stick of noodle in and said, “Besides, you can make a nice sauce!”
Bear’s face was dark. Then Bear caught his collar. “Damn it, you’re a bastard…”
“Do you want to know how to hack your wife’s computer?” Long Zhen’ao narrowed his eyes.
“Yes.” Bear only thought for a second. Then he let him go.
Long Zhen’ao continued to eat the noodles. “Um, I’ll teach you later.”
“Tuan Zi, come here.” Jiang Rui sent Chen Chen back to the room, then he walked out.
Long Zhen’ao drank some water. “Don’t hit the child. I took her away.”
Jiang Rui said to Tuan Zi with a dark face, “Get into the room to accompany your mother. You scared her. I’ll teach you a lesson later.”
“Um.” Tuan Zi pouted and led Hei Zi into the room.
Bear saw the situation and sat far away on a couch to watch. He shouted inside, “Master, go ahead!”
“Where did you pack the locator?” Jiang Rui asked first.
Long Zhen’ao was very cooperative. “On a bird.”
Bear whispered, “Damn it…”
“Why?” Jiang Rui was as calm as usual again. He casually looked at Long Zhen’ao. “Do we have anything that you want?”
Long Zhen’ao’s stomach was full. He wiped his mouth and started to take the clothes off.
“Shit, what do you want to do?” Bear jumped up. “Our master is not interested in men!”
Jiang Rui glanced at him and said, “Sit down.”
Long Zhen’ao took off his overcoat and untied the buttons of his shirt. There was a wound close to his heart.
“There is a bomb.” He pointed to his chest. “Years ago, I was saved. When they did the operation to save me, they also packed a bomb on me.”
Jiang Rui lifted his eyebrows. “After your father died, the troops have looked for you but you disappeared. So you were taken away by Kutcher?”
“He saved me!” Long Zhen’ao corrected his words. “When my father was found being a spy, I got a shot in my chest too. It was Kutcher who saved me.”
“So you helped him to harm others.” Jiang Rui smiled. “Your father was loyal to the country, but his son became a terrorist.”
Long Zhen’ao smiled. “I’ve never hurt a good person.”
He thought for a minute and said, “Well, I didn’t kill Wen Wei and Lu Ming. I didn’t care to do such a thing.”
“It wasn’t you?” Bear was shocked. “Then who did it?”
Jiang Rui looked at him and said, “It was Lu Tao.”
“We should go back to our topic.” Long Zhen’ao leaned on the couch. “Kutcher injected the genetic improving liquid in me, not only me, actually. They took back ten kids, but I’m the only one who survived.”
Jiang Rui and Bear listened quietly. The handsome young man seemed to be telling other people’s stories. His eyes were calm, and there was even a smile on his face.
“I’m tired now, and I want freedom!” Long Zhen’ao quickly finished his life story and revealed a smile to Jiang Rui. “Kutcher wanted me to take Tuan Zi back to do research. If you can take the bomb out for me, I won’t have to kidnap Tuan Zi.”
Bear scolded, “You’re in our control now. We can just kill you, and then it’s all settled!”
“There will be others coming for you.” Long Zhen’ao blinked. “The best solution is that you help me first, then I’ll take you to land on the island!”
Jiang Rui clenched his hands into fists. “Aren’t you afraid that we’ll kill you when taking out the bomb? I can get on the island without you, just taking more time.”
“I trust you.” Long Zhen’ao stood up. “Or let’s just say, I believe in myself. After all… I have tried you many times before, and I’m satisfied with you.”
“I can’t give you an answer now.” Jiang Rui stood up too. “Besides, I can’t assure you that I can take out the bomb in your body.”
Long Zhen’ao nodded. “I know your foster father has done a similar operation. I have faith in you.” He opened the door. “I live upstairs. If you have anything, just knock on my door!”
Bear saw him leave, so he rushed out right away and saw the elevator go one floor upstairs. Then he called it down, but Long Zhen’ao was not there.
“Damn it, I remember there is a painter upstairs!”
Jiang Rui ignored him. He was calling Wan Qingsi. After he hung up the phone, he heard Chen Chen’s cries from the room.
“Liuliu?” He rushed in and saw that Chen Chen held Tuan Zi and cried miserably.
Tuan Zi saw him and got deeper into Chen Chen’s arms. “Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be angry.”
“Your mother was terribly scared by you. I can’t forgive you this time. Go back to your room and copy the sentence ‘I’m wrong.’ for a thousand times.” Jiang Rui dragged his daughter out of Chen Chen’s arms. “Right away.”
Chen Chen felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something for Tuan Zi when she heard Jiang Rui saying, “Hurry up and get your face cleaned. Your brother is here.”
