Chapter 199 Baili Ming is Kidnapped
Ye Shenge showed a weak and fawning smile.
"Master, I'll never run around again next time. My feet hurt!"
"Nonsense, of course they hurt. Your feet are swollen again."
"Next time Shenge runs around, I'll borrow your discipline ruler."
Elder Dang also tried to scare her, but Ye Shenge kept smiling.
"I will absolutely not run around anymore. I'll study diligently at home from now on. It's just a shame about my pound of medicinal powder."
Ye Shenge truly felt the sting of loss; that medicinal powder was very expensive.
Her two masters took turns examining her and concluded that she needed complete rest.
Zi Yisheng had remained silent. He had considered sending the little girl to Bai Rongxiang earlier, but his reluctance to part with her kept her by his side.
When the room was down to just the two of them, Ye Shenge extended her paws and took her lover's large hand.
"Are you angry?"
Zi Yisheng sighed and placed her small hand on his face.
"No, I'm not angry. I'll never be angry with you. I just regret not protecting you well enough, causing you so much suffering."
Ye Shenge was very keen on self-preservation.
"It was my fault for not listening. I won't be so willful anymore. Give me a chance, okay!"
Zi Yisheng looked at the little girl's attempts to appease him with amusement and helplessness, and he gently stroked her dark, shiny hair.
"Then it's a deal. You can't run around anymore."
Ye Shenge nodded her head until she felt dizzy, and then her stomach rumbled, signaling an empty house.
"I'm hungry."
"Aunt Zhen will bring food up soon. She made medicinal cuisine for you."
"Have those people been caught?"
The ferocity in Zi Yisheng's eyes flashed and disappeared as he smiled and nodded.
"They've all been caught. They were from the Baili family. Ye Shu has been gaining too much influence recently, so they wanted to kill you to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Shu."
Actually, it was because Ye Shu was about to go to war, and news of the little girl's death would be a fatal blow to him. What a cunning plan.
"Don't overthink it. These bad guys will be dealt with soon."
"Then will Big Brother be coming back soon?"
Zi Yisheng felt a pang of sourness in his heart; the little girl missed her elder brother every day.
"Soon, within a month at most."
Ye Shenge breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her family was safe.
Mo Lin and Xiao Tiantian entered with Aunt Zhen, carrying a tray.
"Sister, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Tiantian didn't speak, but nestled by Ye Shenge's legs.
"Much better. I've made Mo Lin and Xiao Tiantian worry."
"Yes, these two little ones were truly frightened last night."
Aunt Zhen looked at the girl lying in the hospital bed, a worried frown on her face. How could she have children in the future with such a body? She sighed inwardly. Her young master liked her, and she had no right to interfere, so she could only silently hope that the little girl's health would improve in the future.
"Here, drink your porridge first. I've been simmering it for two hours with many good things that Elder Fan procured. You'll recover quickly after eating."
Zi Yisheng took the bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful, with great care and patience.
Xiao Tiantian seemed to have lost her sense of security and wouldn't let anyone take her away. She just stayed at the foot of the bed, hugging Ye Shenge's legs.
Ye Shenge's legs went numb, so she had to ask Mo Lin to let Xiao Tiantian lie down beside her. Soon, both of them fell asleep, making Zi Yisheng beside them incredibly jealous.
Meanwhile, Ye Mu'en, abroad, was forcing smiles every day, taking Baili Ming to various gatherings.
He wanted Baili Ming to get used to this kind of life and to lower the guard of those around him. Only then could he take Baili Ming away without anyone noticing.
After a month of drinking and chatting, Baili Ming became even more convinced of Mu Sheng's abilities, handling himself with ease among various heirs. He even managed to sign contracts during their drinking sessions.
One day, the opportunity finally arrived. Ye Mu'en had trained Baili Ming to integrate into gatherings on his own, giving Ye Mu'en a chance to escape suspicion.
Baili Ming was embracing a blonde beauty, slightly drunk. The four people Ye Mu'en had brought were already waiting outside.
When Baili Ming went to the restroom, they knocked him unconscious and put him in a car. At this time, Ye Mu'en was also flirting with a beautiful woman, feigning a "drunken stupor."
Ye Mu'en was designated to be the last one to leave, as he needed to handle the investigation and clean-up work. The other four would spirit the person away that very night.
Within half an hour of Baili Ming being taken away, his subordinates discovered the problem. They immediately controlled the entire gathering, and even the "drunk" Ye Mu'en was not spared.
"What are you doing? Who do you think you are, to lay hands on me?"
If even one person resisted, more would follow. Many young masters from influential families had brought their own entourages, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
Baili Ming's men had no time to search for their master. By the time the situation calmed down, it was only resolved under police control.
Ye Mu'en glanced at his watch. Three hours had passed. If everything went as planned, Baili Ming should already be drifting at sea.
Soon, lawyers from various families stepped in, demanding legal proceedings. However, with Baili Ming himself missing, the remaining people were left leaderless.
Ye Mu'en spent a few days shopping in America, buying many gifts for his sister. He quickly settled his affairs there and flew to Huahua Country.
Uncle Si Bai saw his nephew and breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the items his nephew had brought, his mouth twitched.
"Are you sure you can smuggle these things back?"
Ye Mu'en was completely unconcerned.
"Don't I have you? These are gifts for Shenge. Just find a way to get them to the border for me."
Upon hearing that they were gifts for his niece, whom he had never met, Uncle Si Bai immediately dropped his nephew and personally went to pick out gifts.
"Hurry up and go. I'll take care of the gifts."
It seemed that boys were not favored in either the Ye or Bai families. Ye Mu'en was accustomed to this. He patted his behind, transformed into someone else, and disappeared from Huahua Country, where he had only stayed for two hours.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Baili fainted immediately upon hearing the news of Baili Ming's disappearance. That was the entire Baili family's lifeblood!
Baili Xi, standing nearby like a wooden puppet, revealed a faint smile. Baili Hui, who was busy nearby, happened to see it.
Baili Hui said nothing, only hoping that her grandfather would be alright. Otherwise, her future would no longer be her own.
Baili Xi's heart fluttered with joy, his hands trembling slightly. Let them die, let them all die. Whether it was his grandfather or Baili Ming, whom he had only met a few times.
Why be born at the same time, with one chosen and the other a discarded puppet? This unfairness had lasted for twenty years, and his chance had finally come.
And Baili Ming, who was being missed by so many people, was still drifting at sea, groggy. The moment he showed any sign of waking, he was knocked unconscious. His captors were cruel, feeding him only water and mashed potatoes daily, just enough to keep him alive.
Finally, on the twelfth day, Baili Ming stepped onto land. However, he could not see anything, his head constantly covered with a black bag.
