Gu Qingxin is already vulnerable enough. If she finds out something happened to An Xiaonuan, she probably won’t be able to handle it.

Lan Liehuo was still happily thinking something good happened, but after hearing this, his brows knitted tightly.

"I thought you wanted to be close with me, not happy!"

"Come on, rescuing people is more important!" Ye Yingsu wanted to hit him.

"Just one kiss, or I’ll have no energy!" Lan Liehuo pointed cheekily at his own face.

Ye Yingsu could only give him a quick peck and pushed him out the door.

Seeing Lan Liehuo rush out like his pants were on fire, Gu Qingxin asked Ye Yingsu, "What’s up with him? Where is he going?"

"Oh, it’s his own thing, I’m not sure," Ye Yingsu smiled and said, "Let’s think about what to have for dinner!"

"Just order takeaway. I don’t feel like cooking."

With her mom gone too, Gu Qingxin was feeling very downcast today. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I’ll have someone buy it; who knows if delivery is safe." Ye Yingsu made a call to have food sent over.

Gu Qingxin felt even worse hearing this. She bit her lip, and no one would tell her what was really happening, but everyone seemed to be signaling danger.

They all meant well for her, but they didn’t realize that this only made her more anxious.

...

Lan Liehuo quickly instructed people to search the vehicles for suspects; soon, an unlicensed car came into his view.

Though Ming Yang had been discreet when he took An Xiaonuan, it was still witnessed by someone—it was a strange occurrence after all.

So Lan Liehuo swiftly identified the suspect vehicle and immediately communicated this crucial information to Beiming Han.

Then a grid search was conducted.

Not only did all their personnel get involved, but the entire police system of Ming City was also activated to find the suspect vehicle.

Beiming Han received the news—the suspect vehicle had been found, but there were no people, only the car.

"Looks like the kidnappers switched cars!" Lan Liehuo said through the earpiece.

His words were audible to everyone.

All clues abruptly came to an end, and Huangfu Ye was engulfed in rage.

It’s all his fault, entirely his fault—thinking he caught a fake stalker only to endanger An Xiaonuan!

Huangfu Ye cried as he recounts the events, but no matter how everyone tried to console him, he couldn’t shake off the guilt.

Now, they could only continue the search...

...

Shen Yundai drove out of the city, taking Ming Yang to a small town.

"You always act like it’s no big deal, so what’s the rush now! If I hadn’t picked you up today, you’d have been caught!" Shen Yundai was furious. She didn’t care about Ming Yang’s fate but hoped he wouldn’t drag her into trouble!

Ming Yang smiled indifferently, "I knew you wouldn’t just ignore me! After all, if I get in trouble, the first name that would be exposed is yours! I kidnapped An Xiaonuan at your instigation. What do you think Huangfu Ye would do if he found out?"

"Ming Yang, it’s you who are lusting after An Xiaonuan’s beauty—what’s it got to do with me!" Shen Yundai’s face slightly changed.

"Oh? Nothing to do with you? How about I call Huangfu Ye now and see his reaction?" Ming Yang took out his phone.

"You’re insane!" Shen Yundai gasped, looking at him, thinking he really is a madman!

"Using me as your pawn isn’t that simple. Why do you think I dared take An Xiaonuan? Because you and I are tied to the same rope! Can’t run away from me, can’t escape yourself!" Ming Yang lightly lifted her chin with his hand, smirking with wicked delight.
