Chapter 514 Min Xing Injured, Sheng Ge Falls Ill
Ye Mu En had not run more than a few steps before her path was blocked by a speeding car. Several people immediately jumped out.
"Big brother, any news?"
"Where are the children?"
Bai Chu Fan and his brothers rushed to ask. Ye Mu En had no time to answer.
"Come with me."
Several cars vanished instantly. The first to arrive was Feng Zhan He. He had been transferred back to Mingcheng since Zi Yi Sheng's official return, serving as the Deputy Director of the Mingcheng Public Security Bureau. Today, when the children went missing, he received the news immediately and mobilized the entire public security bureau's manpower for the search.
Hearing the commotion, Min Xing quickly picked up Xiao You You and hid. He whispered into Xiao You You's ear.
"If the people who come are bad guys, you lure them away. You absolutely must not make a sound and hide here. Someone will find you, do you understand?"
Despite his composure, Xiao You You was still a child. Tears fell silently, but he nodded, his small hands tightly gripping Min Xing's neck.
"Search everywhere! Min Xing, I am Feng Zhan He!"
"Young Master Min, we are here."
Min Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voices of his men. He struggled to crawl out of the bushes, carrying Xiao You You.
"Xiao You You, people are here to save us. We're saved."
"Wuwu, we are saved."
Feng Zhan He, peering over the waist-high grass, shouted while shining his flashlight around.
"Found them! Come quickly!"
Feng Zhan He rushed over. Upon seeing Xiao You You, he immediately snatched the child and checked his body.
"Xiao You You, are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, but Uncle Min Xing is bleeding a lot and needs to go to the hospital. Also, Sister and Auntie Tian Tian are missing."
Feng Zhan He glanced at Min Xing, who had already fallen to the ground, and quickly squatted down with the child.
"Min Xing, can you give me any information?"
"Investigate the Min family. Although they are not the masterminds, they are definitely involved. Interrogate them rigorously, and you will find the mastermind. Don't show any mercy."
"Don't worry, I won't show any mercy."
"Also, I was shot. The other party's main target was the two children. They went for my life. Tian Tian was also captured; she is the Min family's target, and they won't let her live! Zhan He, quickly apprehend Min Zhuo of the Min family to exchange for information. Hurry, you must hurry!"
At this moment, Ye Mu En also arrived. Seeing his uncle, Xiao You You burst into tears.
"Uncle, I failed to protect my sister!"
Ye Mu En took his nephew, his eyes reddening, and held him tightly.
"Xiao You You did very well. Leave the rest to your uncle. I will bring your sister back safely."
"How are you?"
Seeing Ye Mu En, Min Xing finally let out a true sigh of relief. If even Ye Mu En couldn't save them, then no one in this world would have the ability.
"Still alive. Don't worry about me."
Ye Mu En saw that he was alright and didn't linger. He handed Xiao You You over to Bai Chu Fan and the others with the information Min Xing had given him. He was much more effective at the Min family's place than Feng Zhan He.
"You guys continue searching. I'm taking my men to the Min family."
"Chu Fan, take Xiao You You back to Grandma's. Have him contact Sheng Ge immediately. I'm afraid she'll get anxious and something will happen."
After giving instructions, Ye Mu En kissed Xiao You You's cheek and left quickly.
Min Xing finally fainted from excessive blood loss. He only prayed that when he woke up again, he would see the two important people in his life.
Xiao You You's tension finally eased. The fright and staying up all night had exceeded his limit. Wrapped in his great-uncle's clothes, he kept nodding off, still trying to stay awake.
Bai Chu Fan's heart ached seeing him. He gently patted Xiao You You.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. You'll see your sister when you wake up tomorrow."
"No, I want to call Mom myself. Otherwise, Mom will be very worried. Mom is not in good health. If she can hear my voice, she'll feel a little better."
Such a sensible child made Bai Chu Fan's heart melt completely.
"Then sleep for a while. When we get to Old Ancestor's house, Great-Uncle will wake you up, okay?"
Xiao You You fell asleep without even replying. Everyone in the car felt heartbroken.
"I heard the Min family is involved? This is showing too much disrespect to the Bai family."
"Hehehehe, does the Min family dare to touch Zi Yi Sheng's children and still care about the Bai family?"
Bai Chu Fan sneered, gently wiping Xiao You You's dirty face with a handkerchief.
"Tomorrow, we will acquire all of the Min family's assets. If they don't want to live, they can disappear from Mingcheng."
"Don't worry, within five days, the Min family will be nothing but dust."
By the time they reached the Bai family entrance, as soon as the car door opened, Xiao You You's eyes snapped open. He was clearly still a little groggy.
"Are we home?"
Bai Chu Fan looked at his nephew and couldn't help but laugh and cry. He held him as he got out of the car.
"Yes, you can call your mother right away."
Before they even crossed the courtyard, a group of people rushed out from inside the house.
"My little You You, are you hurt? Damn scoundrels for harming a child."
Grandma Bai cried and rushed forward to embrace Xiao You You, but at her age, she could no longer lift a child weighing dozens of pounds.
"Old Ancestor, don't cry. I'm not hurt."
"Let's all go inside first."
As Xiao You You entered the brightly lit house, he instantly felt a sense of security. Being in the dark all night had been terrifying.
"Great-Uncle, I want to call Mom."
"Okay, I'll contact your mother right away."
The phone was answered after just one ring.
"This is Ouyang. Any news?"
"Xiao You You has been rescued. Have Sheng Ge take the phone quickly."
"Okay, I'll transfer it right over."
The voice that came through the phone next was Zi Yi Sheng's. Hearing his son's calm voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, I'm fine, but Sister hasn't been found yet."
"Sister will be found. Xiao You You is very strong."
"Is Mom okay?"
Ye Sheng Ge snatched the phone.
"Xiao You You, are you hurt? Are you scared?"
"Wuwuwu wa~~ Mom, I'm so scared. Sister is missing. Will something happen to her? I saw with my own eyes that Sister was snatched away, and they had guns."
Hearing her son's cries, Ye Sheng Ge couldn't hold back and started crying too.
"Xiao You You, don't be afraid. Sister will be rescued soon. Mom will be back to be with you right away."
"Wuwuwu, Sister must be scared and tired. She must be crying."
Seeing his wife fighting back tears, Zi Yi Sheng's heart was in agony. He let the mother and son talk and walked out.
He went to Ouyang's room, picked up the phone, and dialed the Bai family's study. Everyone was out searching for people, so only the Bai family would have any news.
Bai Chu Fan hurried upstairs when he heard the study phone ring. He was genuinely anxious hearing the women crying downstairs.
"Hello, Yi Sheng, how is Sheng Ge?"
"She's crying in the room. What's the situation on your end?"
"Min Xing was shot in the stomach. Xiao Mi'er and Tian Tian were both captured, and there's no news yet. However, Min Xing said the Min family was involved and tried to kill him. The target was the two children, but they weren't the masterminds.
Big brother has gone to the Min family with Feng Zhan He. We should be able to get some useful information."
Zi Yi Sheng showed no reaction to the mention of the Min family, as they lacked the capability for such a large-scale operation.
"I haven't received any calls from the other party yet. Their main objective is the children, and it's directed at me. They will at least have demands."
"Yes, I'll go to your house to check later. See if Aunt Zhen has received any calls."
"No need. If we receive a call at home, I'll contact you immediately. You don't need to run around anymore; leave the rest to Big Brother and the others. You need to keep Xiao You You with you for now. Don't let him go to school tomorrow."
"Don't worry, the Old Master has recalled quite a few people to guard the Bai family. Also, we'll be taking action against the Min family tomorrow. Is there anything we need to be careful about?"
"Nothing to be careful about. The Min family is yours to deal with."
Zi Yi Sheng hung up the phone and contacted the special department. It was now confirmed that this was directed at him. The nature of the matter was no longer a personal vendetta; the higher authorities had to be involved.
"This is Zi Yi Sheng. My daughter and Ye family's adopted daughter have been kidnapped. We have received information that the Min family is involved. Arrest all members of the Min family and interrogate them. Rescue my family at all costs."
"Yes, we will issue a Level 2 alert immediately."
"Ye Mu En has already gone to the Min family. You must cooperate."
"Yes!"
Zi Yi Sheng hung up the phone, picked up a cigarette from the table, and lit it. He was constantly sifting through possible identities of the other party in his mind.
"Young Master Zi, the other party is clearly not ordinary people. They can make our men fail without leaving a trace. Among the forces I know, there isn't any with such capability."
"The brothers responsible for guarding the two children should have been killed. Let our people act without restraint. No matter who the other party is, I want their lair razed to the ground."
Ouyang closed his eyes in grief. This time, they might have lost six brothers.
"A Long is among them."
Zi Yi Sheng's hand trembled. A Long and A Sen had been with him the longest, and their bond was naturally different.
"Bring them back alive, or find their bodies."
No one in the room spoke. No one wanted to believe that the brothers they saw every day had left them first.
Zi Yi Sheng finished his cigarette and returned. He saw his wife lying listlessly on the sofa, her eyes swollen.
"Sheng Ge, what's wrong? Is your heart bothering you?"
Ye Sheng Ge weakly waved her hand. She had cried so hard that her entire head was throbbing.
"Is there any news about Xiao Mi'er?"
Zi Yi Sheng shook his head with difficulty. Not only were they far away, but even if they were in Mingcheng, they could only wait. The other party had not made any demands yet, and he didn't know what they wanted.
"The Min family should be involved."
Ye Sheng Ge suddenly sat up, her eyes filled with horror.
"The Min family! Then Tian Tian is in danger. They definitely won't let Tian Tian live!"
Zi Yi Sheng nodded. What his wife could think of was likely already happening.
"How could this happen? For Min Xing's property, they wouldn't care about human lives!"
"Yes, Min Xing's property is indeed enough to make the declining Min family take such a desperate risk. They even wanted Min Xing dead too."
Ye Sheng Ge couldn't accept the thought that her daughter and Tian Tian might be dead, and her heart ached.
Seeing his wife's pale face and her clutching her chest, Zi Yi Sheng quickly helped her lie down flat.
"Sheng Ge, your medicine, get your medicine."
