Chapter 528-529

Chapter 528: Perfect Abduction 　 In an alley off the main commercial street, Yun Xi looked up at the plaque on the wall at the entrance to a time-honored, famous restaurant. This restaurant had ten locations, and its main one was in Jingdu. Yun Xi had always loved the delicacies that the restaurant specialized in, especially their Steamed Crabmeat Shumai and Steamed Lotus Root Stuffed with Sticky Rice. She would often stop in when passing the restaurant to buy some of her favorite dishes to take home. In this life, however, she hadn’t set foot in this restaurant yet. She couldn’t help stopping when she saw that there was a branch in this town. “Yo, girl, you like their delicacies too, don’t you?” Jiang Chenghuan saw her stop in her tracks, so he looked up at the old-fashioned sign above her head. “Let’s go, let’s go in for a meal.” 　 　 The restaurant was located in an area full of tourist attractions. There were hordes of tourists coming and going. It was almost time for lunch, and the restaurant was almost full. Jiang Chenghuan, their escort who was responsible for paying the bills and carrying things, finally got them a seat after much effort. As if he had negotiated a project worth several hundred million yuan, he was as happy as a child. His getting a table had provoked some girls, who hadn’t gotten a seat. Extremely annoyed, they were stomping their feet and glaring at him. Yun Xi watched him, the dignified Young Master of the Jiang family, snatching seats from ordinary people. It was completely unlike the cheesy scenes in novels, where people like him usually had bodyguards surround a place and kick everyone out so he could eat. She felt that she had witnessed something quite out of the ordinary. While they were waiting for their dishes to be served, Yun Xi got up and went to the public restroom diagonally across from their table. Qi Yuan and Feng Rui were both waiting outside, and, as cover, they had randomly found a street vendor where they could buy something to eat. They didn’t relax their vigilance for a second, even though Yun Xi and her group were surrounded by people. As Yun Xi went into the bathroom, a woman suddenly dashed out and sprayed something in her face. She closed her eyes almost reflexively, but she was surprised that the irritating smell that wafted up her nose had suddenly made her feel dizzy. By the time she’d realized that she had fallen into a trap, she’d lost consciousness. Her limp body was immediately picked up by the two women, who quickly put her in a wheelchair that they had prepared beforehand. 　 　 At this moment, a group of tourists walked past the bathroom door. The two women seized the opportunity to use the tour group as a cover to hide from the people who were sitting across from them. They joined the group and followed it out of the alley. Then they quickly jumped into a car that was parked waiting for them on the commercial road. The car started right up and moved away. The back seat window was lowered a little, and the kidnappers threw Yun Xi’s phone in a trash can by the roadside. Zhao Yumo waited for a long time, but Yun Xi didn’t come back. Thinking that perhaps she was feeling sick to her stomach, Zhao Yumo hurried to the bathroom to see if she needed help. Zhao Yumo searched and shouted again and again. Then, realizing that there was no one inside the bathroom, Zhao Yumo suddenly became anxious. Zhao Yumo ran back to the table and told Jiang Chenghuan to call Yun Xi. However, although the call was able to get through, no one answered. Jiang Chenghuan realized that something was wrong, and he knew that nothing else mattered. He ran out the door to find Qi Yuan. “Where’s Yun Xi?” he yelled. “Didn’t she go into the bathroom? We didn’t see her come out.” “We’ve been surveilling the place the entire time, and we didn’t see her come out.” Feng Rui saw them rushing about, and, fearing that something bad had happened, he came over. Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and tried to think back to everything he had seen as he surveilled the bathroom. Suddenly, he raised his head. “A group of tourists just walked by, but I didn’t pay attention...” “This is bad! Something must have happened.” Jiang Chenghuan suddenly gasped. Since that girl was missing, Mu Feichi would definitely settle accounts with him when he discovered it. Upon seeing that their expressions were extremely grave, Zhao Yumo also became anxious. “What’s the matter? Did something happen to Yun Xi? What are you guys still standing here for? Hurry up and go look for her!” Qi Yuan took out his phone, and his hand couldn’t help shaking slightly. “Don’t worry, her phone has a positioning device. I’ll have Grey Wolf look for her according to its location.” *** Chapter 529: A Ruse to Distract Us 　 Grey Wolf got the information. Yun Xi’s phone was near the alley. Once he received that, Qi Yuan was able to find Yun Xi’s phone in a trash can. Qi Yuan’s heart sank when he realized that her phone was there, but she wasn’t. Taking a deep breath, he barked orders at the person on the other end of the phone in a serious tone, “Grey Wolf, investigate all the surveillance cameras near this address right away! Right, this minute!” “As fast as possible.” Grey Wolf answered, and soon the sound of this typing on his keyboard could be heard from his end of the call. 　 　 In three minutes, Grey Wolf had hacked into the surveillance system of a nearby camera. He relayed the information. “Yun Xi was taken away by two women. They had prepared a wheelchair to transport her in. This kidnapping was obviously premeditated. The license plate number of their car was blocked out so it’s impossible to trace. I’m tracking the car’s whereabouts. Go report to Young Marshal Mu.” Qi Yuan didn’t dare delay a moment longer. He quickly called Mu Feichi. After the call was connected, he spoke nervously, “Young Marshal Mu, something terrible has happened. Miss Yun is gone, and Grey Wolf is tracking the whereabouts of the car that took her.” Mu Feichi was silent for a moment. Then he asked in a cold voice, “Where is her phone?” “Her phone was thrown into a trash can at the intersection. The people who carried out this kidnapping were clearly well prepared. Using a tour group as a cover, they abducted Miss Yun right under our noses...” “D*mn it! This whole thing has been a ruse to distract us.” On the other end of the phone, Mu Feichi took off his sunglasses. It was apparent that his gloomy face was livid with anger. “A ruse to distract us? Young Marshal Mu, on your side...” Qi Yuan vaguely understood the seriousness of the situation. Their opponent had come prepared, had set a trap, and had been waiting for them to walk right into it. “The stronghold here was the bait, and their target was Yun Xi. D*mn it!” 　 　 Upon realizing that he had been negligent and also that he had never miscalculated so miserably before, Mu Feichi became so annoyed with himself that he had the urge to smash the phone. “Have Grey Wolf track the whereabouts of the car immediately, and don’t miss any surveillance footage. Keep yourselves well hidden in case they become suspicious and change the car. I will return immediately.” “Okay, perfect.” After hanging up, Qi Yuan glanced at Jiang Chenghuan. “You go back to the villa now. We will meet up with Young Marshal Mu.” Feeling guilty, Zhao Yumo looked at Qi Yuan anxiously. “Will Yun Xi be okay?” “With Young Marshal Mu here, nothing is going to happen to her. Second Young Master, please go back to the mountain to await any news.” “Can I go with you? I’m so worried...” Had it not been for her insistence on coming to City C, Yun Xi wouldn’t have disappeared. Jiang Chenghuan grabbed Zhao Yumo and spoke in a comforting tone, “Missy, if you go along with them, you’ll only cause them trouble. What can you do to help? With Young Marshal Mu here, Yun Xi will come back safely.” Qi Yuan turned and glanced at Feng Rui. Then the two of them quickly got into a car parked on the side of the road. After watching their car disappear in the sea of cars, Jiang Chenghuan took out his phone and called his team of bodyguards. After escorting Jiang Chenghuan and Zhao Yumo back to the mountain, the bodyguards all went to provide backup for Mu Feichi’s men. ... The bumping of the car caused Yun Xi’s head to hit against the car window, and the pain woke her up. Her head aching, she opened her eyes a little bit, only to find that her hands, legs, and mouth had been wrapped up with layers of tape. With her hands tied behind her back, she couldn’t prevent herself from bumping into the door and windows because of the bumpy road. Upon seeing that she had woken up, the woman sitting next to her glanced at her and said in a sharp voice, “Oh, you’re awake.” Her speech was accented. Yun Xi blinked her eyes and turned her head. She leaned back against the window and turned laboriously to look at the gorgeous woman in the black trench coat. Her legs were bare and exposed despite it being the middle of winter, and she had a pair of Martin boots on her feet.
