Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 298 - 296: The Kidnappers Caught

"Hongmei Restaurant?"

After hearing Lu Heng’s words, everyone present turned around in unison and looked across the street.

They were at Sister Liu’s restaurant at the time, so when they turned around, they saw the Hongmei Restaurant right across.

"No wonder the Taoist Master didn’t want us to turn on the police lights and siren!"

"So the kidnappers are just across the street!"

Officer You suddenly realized.

Officer Zhang nodded in agreement.

If the following police cars had come with lights and sirens on, it could have alerted the kidnappers across the street.

"Taoist Master, don’t worry!"

"We will definitely catch the kidnappers and bring them to justice, and we will also rescue the child safely..."

After saying this, Officer You confidently led other officers to the Hongmei Restaurant across the street.

Meanwhile, Officer Zhang, Xiaoqiao, and others stayed in the restaurant.

At the same time, the livestream viewers couldn’t suppress their curiosity any longer.

"It’s really far away in the sky and close in front of you!"

"Who would have thought that the child who couldn’t be found throughout the entire town was hidden in the restaurant across the street!"

"Is the owner of Hongmei Restaurant out of his mind? What’s the point of kidnapping a child like this?"

"I guess he probably can’t compete with Sister Liu and Brother Zhang in business, so he resorted to this!"

"Huh? Even in business, there are such tactics?"

"Of course! The business war you imagine: find flaws, take initiative, strategize, and win from thousands of miles away! The real business war: secretly pouring hot water on the competitor’s money tree, overfeeding their fortune fish to death, and breaking into their safe to steal the company stamp for power!"

"Ha! No wonder I can’t figure out business, I’m just too honest!"

"No merchant without a trick, why bother with business if you’re honest?"

"As an honest person, I don’t want to do business, I just want to find a rich woman to take care of me!"

"I know a rich woman worth over a hundred million, divorced three times, with two kids, and weighs three hundred pounds, do you need her, bro?"

"Forget it, I’ll stick to business!"

"Don’t chicken out, if you want to live easily, you need to have some extraordinary courage!"

"I’m just afraid the rich woman will sit on me and squish my insides..."

"Then I’ll go to the kids’ table with 200 bucks."

While the viewers bantered and joked, the dark Hongmei Restaurant across the road suddenly lit up.

Then, they saw a figure jump down from the second-floor balcony.

The person lost balance in midair and fell face-first onto the ground.

Before he could get up, he was caught by the officers waiting below and pinned to the ground.

"Taoist Master, we found him!"

Officer Zhang quickly reported the good news to Lu Heng in the livestream and the watching audience.

"Brother Zhang, Sister Liu, let’s go out and take a look!"

Xiaoqiao suggested excitedly, turning to the two of them.

"Alright!"

After hesitating briefly, the two agreed.

So, they all walked out of the restaurant and went across the street.

The commotion also drew a crowd of onlookers.

"Ow! My leg!"

"Let go, why are you holding me down? I didn’t break any laws!"

The owner of Hongmei Restaurant, the middle-aged man pinned by the police, cried out in pain and argued weakly.

"You didn’t break the law, do you think we’d catch you?"

Officer Zhang couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

"I... I really didn’t break the law!"

"On what grounds are you arresting me?"

The man gritted his teeth and kept struggling, seemingly wanting to break free from the officers.

"The child who disappeared for five days, Lv, is here with you, isn’t he?"

Officer Zhang asked coldly.

"How... how do you know that?"

The man widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing these words.

"Kidnapping is no small crime."

"We’ll talk more once we return!"

Officer Zhang took out a pair of handcuffs from his belt and personally cuffed the man.

"I... I didn’t kidnap anyone!"

"I was actually saving him... saving him, do you understand?"

The man’s face changed drastically, and he quickly tried to defend himself.

"What saving?"

"You kidnapped someone’s child, and you still have the nerve to argue?"

Officer Zhang raised an eyebrow, full of disdain.

"Old Zhang, call an ambulance quickly!"

Just then, Officer You, who had rushed into Hongmei Restaurant earlier, emerged holding a child in his arms.

The child’s head was crudely wrapped in bandages, already stained with fresh blood, and his eyes were closed, unconscious.

"Okay, okay!"

Officer Zhang, seeing this, quickly took out his phone and dialed for emergency services.

Xiaoqiao stepped forward, took a look, and recognized the child with the bandaged head as the missing Lv from five days ago.

"Son... son..."

"What happened to you? Wake up!"

"Mom will never hit you again..."

Sister Liu rushed forward, tears streaming down her face, crying her heart out.

The audience could not help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Sister Liu, please pay more attention to the child’s growth in the future!"

"Yes, children need family care too."

"Damn, this damn kidnapper, how could he beat a primary school student so badly?"

"Exactly, this bastard is so hateful! How could he do this to a child?"

"Kidnapping is one thing, but beating the child until he’s covered in blood and unconscious, is that necessary?"

"Look at his fat brain and big belly, you can tell he’s not a good person!"

"Thank goodness for the Taoist Master and the officers, otherwise, this child might not have survived a few days longer!"

"The blood on those bandages has turned dark red, it’s so sad!"

"This old bastard will stop at nothing to steal business!"

"If you’re capable, compete fairly instead of kidnapping someone else’s child, what kind of skill is that?"

"Kidnapping, and it’s not enough, look what he did to the kid?"

As everyone voiced their anger, the ambulance finally arrived.

Officer You hurriedly carried the child onto the vehicle.

As Sister Liu and Brother Zhang were about to get on the ambulance too, Lu Heng suddenly said, "Young Friend Qiao, Mr. Zhang and Ms. Liu can’t leave for now."

"So, please, you and Officer Zhang over there, keep them both here!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqiao and Officer Zhang were taken aback.

Though puzzled as to why Lu Heng made such a request, they trusted him and pulled Sister Liu and Brother Zhang, who were about to board the ambulance, back.

"Xiaoqiao, what are you doing?"

"I need to go to the hospital with my child!"

Sister Liu, pulled from the vehicle, expressed her displeasure and annoyance.

Embarrassed, Xiaoqiao explained, "Sister Liu, it’s the Taoist Master who asked us to do this. You and Brother Zhang can’t leave right now..."
