Chapter 8 Kidnapping a Little Baby

Ning Yichu was shocked. How could there be a little girl here?

If she attracted the bodyguards, she herself would have no means of escape!

"Hey kid, why are you here all by yourself? Did you get separated from your Daddy and Mommy?" Amidst the critical moment, Ning Yichu whispered urgently.

Doudou shook her head at her, recognizing that this was the aunt from the cherished group photo with Granny Li.

Granny Li often held that photo, staring at it for minutes on end.

This made Doudou curious about the aunt before her.

"Auntie is playing hide and seek with the adults outside right now, so you must be good and not shout, okay? Once Auntie is safe, I'll help you contact your family."

Doudou nodded her head earnestly.

Ning Yichu thought she was very well-behaved and asked her name.

Doudou twiddled her tender fingers, not speaking.

It was almost less than ten minutes before Fan YuKe arrived.

"Ah, my precious Chu Chu, you finally escaped! Chengcheng, Ningning, and I were all terrified to death, let me have a look at you, are you hurt?" She hugged Ning Yichu tightly and frantically checked her over.

Her mask slid down as she talked, revealing a round baby face.

"I'm fine. Let's leave this place first,"

"Okay, into the car."

After a moment of thought, Ning Yichu decided to bring Doudou along as well.

Although it was a high-end community, it was still located on the mountainside. Since Chen Bao had disconnected the surveillance on the mountaintop, if something were to happen to the child, it would be an unforgivable error...

Even though they had only been separated for a few days, the mother and her two children felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a century.

Ning Yichu held one in each arm, affectionately rubbing her cheeks against them, then suddenly put on a stern face—

"You two are really too bold, daring to provoke Li Lingyang? Do you know how many bodyguards he has? What if they had detained you at the scene and not let you go? Do you want to scare Mommy to death?"

Chen Bao touched his nose, feeling quite guilty.

Of course, he wasn't guilty about what he had done, but he was annoyed that he hadn't handled the aftermath properly, which led to Li Lingyang's people tracking them and causing trouble for Mommy!

"Sorry, Mommy. I was careless this time. It won't happen again."

"And you, Ningning?"

Ningning also hurriedly promised in a childlike voice, "I'll listen to Mommy just like brother."

Ning Yichu snorted softly, then gave the two little ones a kiss and curiously asked, "How did you extort a hundred million from him?"

Chen Bao's little face looked cool as he tightened it, "Daddy's most concerned about his reputation, so I took advantage of that."

Ningning was quick to add, "I took the pictures and videos!"

After hearing the details of the incident, Ning Yichu was speechless for a long time.

Fan YuKe stood by, giving a big thumbs up, her eyes sparkling, "Chu Chu, you didn't just have twins, you gave birth to two geniuses! They're so impressive from a young age, they'll definitely be extraordinary in the future, my dear, if I can't make it in the entertainment industry, you'll have to support me a bit."

Although Ning Yichu admired them, such behavior definitely could not continue!

After the mother and sons snuggled for a while, Ningning seemed to suddenly notice another child there and curiously stared at Doudou, "Mommy, who is this little sister?"

Seeing this, Ning Yichu explained, "Let me introduce you. This is a little girl Mommy encountered on the way. She got separated from her family, so Mommy brought her along as well."

Doudou's gaze was fixated on Chen Bao.

This brother looks a lot like daddy.

Chen Bao noticed Doudou's curious assessment and reached out his hand, "Hello, my name is Chen Bao, and this is my sister Ningning."

Ningning also excitedly said, "My brother is very impressive, you know, if you ever need help, you can ask him!"

Chen Bao, "Don't make promises lightly, what if I can't deliver?"

"Then there's still me, isn't there? When Ningning steps in, it's worth two!"

"Such vanity." Even though Chen Bao disapproved, his eyes were filled with indulgence.

Ningning pulled a grimace, tangling with Chen Bao in a play fight.

Doudou watched their horseplay, envious pink bubbles floating up from the depths of her eyes. They were twins too, but their bond seemed so strong.

"Hey, little sister, why don't you speak?" Ningning asked with suspicion.

Embarrassed, Doudou gestured clumsily – it was professional sign language, incomprehensible to Ningning and Chen Bao.

Ning Yichu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the little girl wasn't silent because she was scared but because...

She couldn't speak. Was she a little mute?

Chen Bao furrowed his brow. Doudou was dressed in luxury children's brands, each piece worth tens of thousands, and she couldn't speak. Would taking her rashly cause trouble?

"Mommy, I checked already. There's a police station a kilometer down the mountain. Should we take her there?"

Upon hearing this, Doudou's small body shrank.

Did her brother dislike her that much?

Why did he want to send her to the police station?

Her little hand unconsciously gripped Ning Yichu's clothes tighter.

Ning Yichu could feel Doudou's panic.

For some reason, seeing the little one's pale face stirred an unwillingness in her heart...

"Let's do this. We'll take little sister to have some food first, then bring her to register at the police station in the afternoon."

Ningning also thought the little sister was adorable and said sympathetically, "That's right. It would be so lonely for her at the police station by herself, and the police officers are very busy too. We'll go after she's eaten!"

Chen Bao glanced at Ningning with irritation – such a big fool, utterly lacking caution!

But seeing that Mommy didn't comment, he tacitly agreed.

Li Group.

Li Lingyang had just finished a call with Granny Li.

Granny Li planned to go to Qingcheng Mountain to offer prayers in the next few days and had arranged for Chengcheng and Doudou to be sent back to Imperial City Long Bay.

Li Lingyang pinched the bridge of his nose. Granny Li still didn't know Ning Yichu had returned. Would the children feel uncomfortable seeing a strange woman in the house?

It might be fine for Chengcheng, the boy, but Doudou, being frail, might...

Just as he thought this, he received a call from the villa's bodyguard, "President Li, something terrible happened! Lady Ning has fled..."

Li Lingyang was in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Lady Ning... she evaded all the security personnel, smashed through a broken wall in the back garden, and then made her escape over the wall..."

"Idiots!"

Li Lingyang's expression darkened abruptly. Suddenly, he recalled how she vanished into thin air after their divorce five years ago. She wasn't trying to pull another disappearing act, was she? No, five years later, he couldn't let her get away again, no matter what.

Besides, they had yet to determine the whereabouts of the child.

"How did she escape with so many bodyguards at the villa?"

"The mountaintop security system suddenly came under attack, rendering all surveillance footage unusable. We couldn't pinpoint her exact escape route..."

Li Lingyang narrowed his cold eyes, "Was someone there to pick her up?"

The bodyguard shook with fear, "It seems likely."

"Lock down the airports, high-speed trains, and bus stations immediately. Don't tell me she's backed by a hacker; even if she's the president, I'll have her trapped in Imperial City. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

After hanging up, Li Lingyang was slightly dazed. Five years had passed, and Ning Yichu was completely unlike the gentle, timid woman in his memory.

Imperial City Long Bay's security system was among the top in the country, not easily breached.

Yet Ning Yichu managed to find a capable hacker...

At that moment, his phone rang again.

Thinking it was the bodyguard with more news, he answered, only to hear the old servant say, "President Li, I've let you down, and I've let the old madam down too. I was just taking Little Miss and the little young master back to the villa. On the way, Little Miss said she needed to use the restroom, and then in the blink of an eye, she was gone..."
