Lian He stood in the middle of the road.
The man said anxiously, "My sister-in-law is about to give birth. She’s in so much pain that she’s fainted. We need to get her to the hospital immediately, please let us pass."
"About to give birth?" Lian He frowned. He had checked so many cars throughout the day and had not encountered such a situation. He stepped forward to look inside the car, saying, "My daughter has been kidnapped, so I need to check. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Your daughter’s disappearance has nothing to do with us. My sister-in-law is about to give birth and has fainted from the pain. If we delay any longer, it could be too late." The subordinate said anxiously.
Brother Biao, half-supporting Tang Yue, urged, "Hurry up, my wife is about to give birth."
"Sister-in-law, wake up." Xiao Li also said anxiously.
Sitting in the very back, it was dark, and three people could be vaguely seen.
Lian He’s gaze fell on the pregnant woman, whose belly was very swollen. Her wet hair covered most of her face, revealing a woman with very dark skin.
"We haven’t seen your daughter, can you please let us take her to the hospital quickly?"
"Sister-in-law, wake up."
Xiao Li said anxiously, holding the pregnant woman’s hand worriedly.
"Uncle Lian, we’ve found Wu Xinming." A call came in, and Lian He brightened with joy as he asked, "What about Xiao Yue?"
"Xiao Yue hasn’t been found yet, but I’m sure that Wu Xinming’s disappearance is connected to that person’s," Zhao Xiangqian’s voice came from the phone, "Uncle Lian, have you got anything on your side?"
"Not at the moment." Lian He stepped back and allowed them to pass. As he hung up the call, his gaze slowly moved out of the car, and a flash of doubt crossed his mind when he saw the woman’s hand. If her face was so dark, why were her hands so white?
The car accelerated with a swoosh and drove away.
Lian He was thinking about why Xiao Yue wasn’t with Wu Xinming, who had already been found.
Suddenly, Lian He paused. He looked up at the car that was moving away, and the image of that sleeping, dark face with white, slender fingers, well-maintained, crossed his mind again.
Giving birth, even if the pain made you faint, could you really stay unconscious?
"Hurry, stop that car."
Realizing what was happening, Lian He quickly got into a car nearby, picking up the phone to call Zhao Xiangqian and Gu Chun to share his suspicions. Coincidentally, Zhao Xiangqian found Wu Xinming just as he was stopping a car, which seemed too coincidental.
After hanging up the call, Gu Chun and Zhao Xiangqian immediately rushed towards Lian He.
In the car, Lian He kept urging the driver to go faster. He had been too careless to let others take Xiao Yue away right under his nose.
If something were to happen to Xiao Yue... No, nothing will happen to Xiao Yue.
Lian He resolved and determined, that no matter what it took, he wouldn’t let anything happen to Xiao Yue.
In the past, as a father, he hadn’t been able to protect Xiao Yue, making her grow up being known as the child without a father, enduring hardship. He had enough guilt as a father, and now, even if he had to risk his life, he would protect Xiao Yue.
The car ahead seemed to notice they were being chased and picked up speed. Lian He continuously urged the driver to go faster, the sound of the accelerated engine standing out in the night as the two cars chased each other closely.
Lian He and his group were in an off-road vehicle that could drive fast regardless of road conditions. Before long, the gap between the two cars was closing quickly.
