Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 666 - 583: Sowing Discord

But she really couldn’t bear to see the child suffer. Having worked for so many years herself, she understood how inferior and cautious these outsiders felt under the superiority of the locals. So, she agreed to the child’s suggestion but reminded him to come straight home after his evening self-study session. She told him to send her a text upon arriving home for peace of mind and warned him not to wander around.

Everything had been calm and uneventful until those two men investigated and found a loophole. Last night, while the boy was passing through a dark part of the neighborhood on his way home from school, they knocked him unconscious and abducted him. Then, using the child’s phone, they sent a threatening text to Sister Ding, which led to the subsequent events.

As for the child, the two men had him hidden away in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts. They had done this sort of thing many times before, so they were quite skilled at it.

Heizi immediately arranged for personnel to rescue the child. From his years of experience handling cases, it was plain as day that these two were repeat offenders, likely with a criminal record.

Soon, records from the database revealed that both men had been imprisoned twice before for crimes of kidnapping and intentional assault. They had been released a little over a year ago.

The bald man was tough and slippery. During the interrogation, he played dumb and didn’t say a word.

On the other hand, Thick Beard was a bit reckless and impulsive, occasionally dropping clues.

Yet as seasoned criminals, they had ways to resist interrogation. For now, no useful information was uncovered.

As for Sister Ding, she had been crying incessantly since she came in, repeatedly begging the female officer questioning her to save her son!

It wasn’t until the officer told her that their team had already dispatched officers to rescue the child that she calmed down and started recounting the story, which corroborated what the men had confessed.

When her child didn’t text her at the usual time, Sister Ding was overcome with anxiety.

She dialed his phone, but the call was immediately hung up. She was so panicked she almost went mad! How could her son ignore her call? As they say, the bond between mother and son is deep—she had a bad feeling.

The following text from her son’s phone confirmed it.

The other party threatened that her son was in their hands and warned that if she didn’t cooperate, all she’d see would be her son’s corpse.

Sister Ding was frantic. Just as she intended to seek help from Li Si and the others, the kidnappers’ call came through.

As if they knew what she’d do, the man on the line issued a sinister threat. If she informed her employer or called the police, they would immediately kill her son.

Only if she cooperated could she ensure her son’s safety.

After hearing their commands, Sister Ding, despite her inner turmoil, could only grit her teeth and agree when she thought of her son.

She spent a sleepless night tossing and turning. The next morning, she pretended everything was normal...

Heizi was in the observation room watching the situation across the interrogation rooms, occasionally rubbing his chin in thought. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something very wrong about Nie Xiuwei’s eerie smile when his initial anger had subsided after being captured.

From Heizi’s perspective, Nie Xiuwei must have done something they weren’t yet aware of!

Adding to this suspicion was the coincidence that these two men chose today to kidnap Leng Er’s son. Could he boldly speculate that there was some connection between them?

He then instructed his team to carry out a task to test whether his assumption was correct.

Nie Xiuwei was led out of the interrogation room into the corridor, where, by chance, he crossed paths with Thick Beard, who was being escorted by officers.

Nie Xiuwei’s expression initially changed but quickly returned to normal.

If he saw him here, then the plan had failed?

His exterior remained calm, but internally, he was boiling with rage! A bunch of useless fools! He cursed their ancestors with every fiber of his being.

Meanwhile, Thick Beard made no effort to conceal his emotions. His eyes widened with anger as he glared at Nie Xiuwei, wanting to curse him out, but remembered Bald Brother’s warning and finally spat on him viciously!

This foreigner-wannabe bastard! He kept cursing in his mind, spitting venom at Nie Xiuwei’s ancestry.

The investigators were sharp and seasoned. With Heizi secretly directing them, how could they not detect the tension between the two?

Such abnormal behavior inevitably drew their attention.

Thus, the two men were brought back into the interrogation room for further questioning.

Thick Beard believed that the reason their plan failed was partly because the nanny was an idiot.

But he was also sure that Vid had been captured and must have ratted them out!

Otherwise, how could they be so unlucky—failing miserably while getting beaten up so badly by the other side? They had been around for years and were never thrashed this brutally!

As he pieced things together in his mind, combined with the psychological tricks the investigators played to provoke him, he blurted out everything he knew in a moment of impulsivity. For example, how they had been commissioned by Nie Xiuwei to tail Li Si and plot a kidnapping that ultimately failed when Li Si abruptly changed course; or how Nie Xiuwei provided key information for today’s fake child-snatching plan, enabling them to locate the target with precision. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, Thick Beard claimed that the person who originally contacted them for the crime was Bald Brother. He didn’t know any further details!

Thick Beard’s confession sent waves of excitement through the investigators, as those who had interrogated Nie Xiuwei earlier knew the lack of evidence and his foreign citizenship would make sentencing difficult.

Especially with Interpol involved, the likelihood was that he’d eventually be extradited for prosecution and imprisonment abroad!

Bald Brother initially denied everything but later confessed to his involvement, revealing that he was an occasional hire for Nie Xiuwei.

He also mentioned meeting another foreign man, who was a formidable character.

Faced with mounting evidence, Nie Xiuwei finally admitted to everything but refused to disclose any orders he may have received. He adamantly claimed his actions were entirely his own doing.

He said it was due to his history that he harbored hatred toward the Leng Family. Today was their daughter’s engagement party, making it the perfect occasion for him to strike and get his revenge!

His intention was to inflict extreme sorrow amid their joy and show them who’s boss!

Heizi wasn’t entirely convinced by this reasoning. While it might hold some truth, there were many inconsistencies when piecing things together!

If he was out for revenge, why pretend to be captured and then escape, luring Sima Ling to meet him without showing up himself?

Who was driving the vehicle that disappeared with Sima Ling? Nie Xiuwei refused to answer anything about it.

When investigators examined Nie Xiuwei’s group’s communication devices, they discovered a sequence of phone numbers from overseas.

Heizi quickly assembled a team to trace the numbers, suspecting their owner might be the critical link tying everything together!

This meant tonight would be another busy night!

When Heizi’s team successfully rescued the child from the abandoned warehouse, they found Sister Ding’s son unharmed but shaken and starving from being left alone all day.

Meanwhile, in Li Si’s bedroom, Long Wu had already left with Su Meng a while ago.

Leng Mochen and Li Si sat holding each other, gazing lovingly at the sleeping Buding and whispering softly.

"Don’t be afraid, darling! This was just an accident!" Leng Mochen, aside from deep guilt, feared Li Si might become trapped in the shadow of this incident.
