"It's like this, I invited Xinyan to my house today, and we were supposed to meet at the parking lot after school, but when she got there, a black van without a license plate rushed over and tied her up in the car …" Mengyao said as she turned to look at Wang Xuben and Qinlin, not sure if she should tell them the rest of the story …
"You can't tell me what happened after that?" Lingshan could tell what Mengyao was worried about, "What, is there something else?"
"It's nothing much, it's just that Wu Chentian chased after her, but he wasn't a match for the kidnappers, and he didn't even last a single move …" Mengyao said with a bitter smile. She didn't tell them about the Purple Thunderbolt Beast, because it wasn't a good idea to tell them about it, and secondly, she didn't want to tell them that the beast had already found the kidnappers' hideout. If Lingshan attacked recklessly, she'd be in danger. The kidnappers' strength was beyond their estimations- they were definitely practitioners!
"What?!" Lingshan looked at Mengyao in shock. She knew how strong Wu Chentian was- he was a Mystic late phase peak just like her, and he was a practitioner of both body and spirit. If Wu Chentian couldn't even last a single move, then the kidnappers had to be at least an Earth class!
"Plus, Wu Chentian's already an Earth class early phase now …" Mengyao added.
"What, Earth class early phase?" Lingshan took in a cold breath, realizing that she'd underestimated the kidnappers' strength. She didn't think that they'd be able to take down an Earth class early phase in one move. It seemed like this kidnapping wasn't as simple as she'd thought …
"Yeah, at first, we thought that the kidnappers were after Lin Yi, that's why they kidnapped Xinyan, but now it seems like the kidnappers contacted Xinyan's parents first, so they probably don't have much to do with Lin Yi anymore …" Mengyao said.
"After Lin Yi?" Lingshan blinked.
"Wang Xinyan … She's Lin Yi's girlfriend in school." Mengyao said. It'd be troublesome if she explained things like that, so she just said it like that. Compared to Lingshan, Mengyao was more inclined towards Lin Yi choosing Xinyan. After all, she and Shu weren't too compatible with Lingshan. Lingshan had protected them with all her might, but that was only because of Lin Yi.
"Ah?" Qinlin and Wang Xuben froze at Mengyao's words. My daughter found a boyfriend at school? She wasn't with House Kang's Kang Zhaolong …
The two of them felt like they were in a mess. Before, they had guessed that Lin Yi had kidnapped their daughter, but now, their daughter and Lin Yi were actually in a relationship. Could it be that the Kang family was dissatisfied and hired someone to do it?
"Then … could it be someone from the Kang family …" Wang Xuben saw through his wife's thoughts, so he asked.
"House Kang can't have a master like that." Lingshan shook her head. "Plus, it doesn't seem like it. If it was House Kang, then they'd still be targeting Lin Yi. They wouldn't call you guys, so I feel like this kidnapping is more like a normal kidnapping. It's just that the kidnappers are a little special. Let's wait for the kidnappers to call and see what they want."
"That's the only way!" Wang Xuben nodded. He was curious why his daughter was in a relationship at school, but he wasn't in the mood to ask about it right now. His daughter's safety was more important, and he could ask her about it after she was out of danger.
Mengyao looked at Lingshan, wanting to say something. She wanted to talk about the hidden House Pi, but Lingshan didn't care about it. She was just worried that Wang Xuben and Qinlin would spread the news. House Pi and Lin Yi were friends now, and if the other hidden houses found out, it'd be bad for House Pi. At the very least, they'd have to wait for Lin Yi to come back first.
"Then we'll go back first. We don't know much, that's all." Mengyao said.
"Alright, contact me if anything happens!" Lingshan's observation skills were sharp, and she could tell that Mengyao wanted to say something. Naturally, Lingshan could tell that Mengyao wanted to say something, but maybe it was because Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin were here, so she decided to give Mengyao a call later … …
Not long after Mengyao and Yushu left, Wang Xuben received the second call from the kidnappers.
"Is this Wang Xuben?" On the other side of the phone, a strange voice came through the voice changer.
"Yes, it's you. How's my daughter?" Wang Xuben could tell that it was the kidnapper from before.
"Don't worry, Mister Wang. Your daughter is fine, but that's just for now!" Scorpion said. "If Mister Wang doesn't want anything to happen to your daughter, then you better do as I say."
"What do you want?" Wang Xuben asked.
"Prepare ten million and wait for my call." With that, the kidnapper hung up, not giving Wang Xuben any time to reply.
"Wait …" Wang Xuben looked at the phone helplessly, shaking his head. This kidnapper didn't play by the rules at all. He wanted to do what Lingshan told him to, but the kidnapper just hung up on him.
Wang Xuben smiled bitterly as he looked at Lingshan. Lingshan, on the other hand, was waiting for Liu Wangli's reply.
"How is it?" Lingshan looked at Liu Wangli, who was walking over.
"Captain Song, the technicians have already traced the call, but the call was transferred multiple times from overseas. We won't be able to trace it in a short amount of time …" Liu Wangli said.
Lingshan nodded. It seemed like the kidnapper was a veteran, and he was very familiar with these things. She had guessed that this was the case, but she didn't have much hope. Since the kidnappers were much stronger than an Earth class early phase, it wouldn't be easy to find out the identity of the kidnapper through the phone …
"Did you find out where the car went?" Lingshan asked.
"Nope, it's a new MPV, and it was smuggled over. We don't have this model in the country, so we couldn't find any information. The kidnappers took the back alleys, and there were no surveillance cameras …" Liu Wangli said.
Lingshan had pretty much expected this outcome. She turned to Wang Xuben. "What did the kidnappers say?"
