"Did Shuwen offend someone" Cheng Anya asked. In the underworld and in business circles, it's hard to say; there are always some grudges. But generally speaking, people don't dare to move against the Tang family. Forget about Longmen, even within the legitimate business world, not everyone dares to offend them.

Thinking back on recent events, several bloody disputes occurred in Longmen. Moreover... he frowned, Ye Feimo raised his eyes and exchanged a glance with him; the biggest dispute was over territorial rivalry between Longmen and the Fiery Gate.

After Ye Feimo took charge of Brother Bear, Tang Shuwen set his sights on the smuggling line of the Fiery Gate. Both Brother Bear and Big Bro spent considerable effort to secure this route. It had taken several years to establish a route to the Middle East, indicating that they hired experts to handle it meticulously. Because he coveted this route, Tang Shuwen decided to take down the entire Fiery Gate, decimating their core forces.

Brother Bear and Big Bro cultivated a group of shrewd and capable subordinates who aimed to reclaim their territory. They secretly clashed with Longmen multiple times. During Christmas, they even snatched one of Longmen's cash transport vehicles.

Tang Shuwen originally intended to quickly settle them once and for all but as the wedding date approached, he was too busy to do so immediately. He planned to handle it gradually after a while.

Unexpectedly, it turned into a problem.

After discussing with Ye Feimo, Yan Ningyuan also got some clues and began investigating when Xiaohei called them, informing them of a suspicious van spotted on the Fuling Highway and requesting backup.

Ye Feimo immediately rallied everyone from Longmen to head toward the Fuling Highway.

Tang Si stood up and left, followed by Ye Feimo, Su Ran, and Lin Diyun.

Tang Shuwen also went with them. Chen Xiru grabbed his hand in fear; Tang Shuwen turned around, kissed her corner of the mouth, "Relax, I will definitely bring our son back."

"Tianyu, Kaleen, you two come along." Ye Ningyuan said indifferently.

...

"Why didn't we call the police" Chen Xueru asked worriedly. Wouldn't calling the police be faster

Tang Mandong put an arm around her shoulder, "Auntie, don’t worry. Our people are more effective than the police."

Ye Ningyuan uttered a surprised sound and magnified the surveillance footage. Tang Mandong looked closer, “Isn't that Zhao Yunqing”

In the video, Zhao Yunqing's car was parked in front of the park entrance. She was dressed very nicely, but her tear-filled eyes were fixated on the gate as if she wanted to enter but lacked the courage.

She alternately displayed resentment, grief, and despair.

Stern-faced and anxious, she lingered by the park entrance.

"Is there something wrong" Cheng Anya asked. Ye Ningyuan observed several surveillance clips but only frowned. Xu Nuo switched to nearby cameras, but one segment was blank in between.

They could see Zhao Yunqing hesitating at the door, wanting to attend the wedding yet feeling bitter and resentful. An hour's worth of footage had been erased, leaving them with just an image of her driving off in panic.

The missing hour puzzled Ye Ningyuan, as it was impossible to deduce what happened since that segment was destroyed.

Today’s security arrangements were all internal operations by Longmen. They had installed surveillance cameras everywhere, but there were still blind spots where coverage wasn’t complete. The perpetrator seemed familiar with the venue setup and must be an experienced person.

The phone rang, and Ye Saosan answered it. Ye Ningyuan put on his headphones; this was a call from the kidnapper, demanding Tang Shuwen's life as ransom and specifically requesting that she go to xx port. If she didn't comply, he would kill Wen Lan and her child. The sound of Xiao Nian crying could be heard over the phone, breaking Chen Xierui’s heart.

The call was brief but it did not prevent Ye Ningyuan from tracing their address, which indeed turned out to be on Huning Road. Ye Saosan immediately called Tang Shuwen and instructed her to go to the port as agreed. The rest were given instructions by Tang Si.

"Dad, they only want me to come alone. You should go back now; otherwise..."

"Be silent!"

Tang Si shot a fierce glance at him with his regal and commanding presence, just like in the old days, "My woman doesn’t need my son’s rescue."

Su Ran and Lin Diyun shook their heads at Tang Shuwen. Tang Shuwen closed his eyes and silently vowed to himself that he would save his mother and ensure Xiao Nian comes out unharmed.

The atmosphere grew tense.

Everyone’s hearts were on edge, dreading any mishap.

Tang Mandong looked at Zhao Yuning and asked, "Brother Ningyuan, is there anything wrong with this woman She might be behind all of this."

Ye Ningyuan smiled and said, "The Zhao family likely has no connection to the Fiery Flame Sect. However, it does seem a bit suspicious; her face was filled with sorrow when she came here but panic when she left. But that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s involved."

Chen Xierui held her head, her headache intensifying. Without Xiao Nian, Tang Shuwen, the man who loved and cared for her, Tang Si, and Wen Lan by her side, with both their fates uncertain, Chen Xierui was extremely worried but forced herself not to cry.

Everything will be fine.

Everyone was waiting for news, and with each passing second, Chen Xueru's heart grew colder, causing her to become increasingly anxious. She couldn't help but wonder if the kidnappers might demand ransom... She didn't dare delve deeper into this thought. Cheng Anya advised her to rest, but Chen Xueru shook her head and insisted on waiting.

Cheng Anya felt relieved; in her younger days, she had faced countless dangers, but none as harrowing as when she fled the island with Ye Sanshao. Back then, their fate was uncertain, and at times, she even thought that this might be her end.

After Louis's death, she and Hailan, Feimo, and herself were once kidnapped, but they managed to escape without major incidents. Except for that time, she had never faced a threat to her life again. However, Feimo was abducted four times, each time leaving her terrified, fearing any harm might come to the child. Especially after Hailan's death when he was abducted yet again; she didn't close her eyes for three nights and two days, dreading that every moment could bring news of his demise.

She deeply understood Chen Xueru's current state of mind.

Tang Mandong, being a daughter from the Tang family, had stronger mental resilience compared to others. But Chen Xueru was the most distressed; after all, Xiao Nian meant everything to her.

Just as Little Black hadn't yet sent any updates, Ye Sanshao and his group saw news on TV about an explosion at xx port. Flames shot up into the sky, causing Chen Xueru to cover her mouth in shock, while Tang Mandong's heart tightened.

Ye Ningyuan frowned; according to the tracker, their car was still at the port. The police were en route, and they needed to leave immediately or risk leaving evidence behind. He had tampered with surveillance cameras along the road, so there shouldn't be any issues as long as they weren't caught on the spot.

Ye Feimo called back saying everything was taken care of. However...

Tang Shuwen took a bullet meant for Xiao Nian and had been rushed to the hospital; upon hearing this, Chen Xueru's legs gave out, causing her to collapse onto the sofa.

The hospital admitted Tang Shuwen into the emergency room, with Longmen sealing off all information about it.

Today’s wedding incident wasn’t something the Tang family wanted media coverage of. Given the scale of what happened, the police couldn't possibly keep this under wraps entirely, but with Tang Si handling things, there wouldn’t be any significant issues.

Xiao Nian was too shocked to react.efute it. He thought that if he did not argue back, she would assume he was admitting to it and maybe then, she wouldn't be angry anymore.Nuhan indeed took his silence as an admission. She wanted to w...
