"Did Shuwen offend someone" Cheng Anya asked. In the underworld and business circles, there were often conflicts between people, but usually no one dared to provoke the Tang family. Even without mentioning Longmen, who would dare to offend the Tang family in legitimate circles

Thinking about it, Tang Shuwen recalled that there had been several bloody disputes recently involving Longmen, and... frowning, Ye Feimo raised his eyes to meet Tang Shuwen's gaze. The biggest dispute was over territorial claims between Longmen and Liuhuo Sect.

After Ye Feimo took charge of Brother Bear, Tang Shuwen targeted the smuggling line of Liuhuo Sect. Brother Bear and Strong Brother had spent a lot of effort to establish this route to the Middle East, which appeared to be meticulously planned with outside help. Just because he was interested in this line, Tang Shuwen targeted the entire Liuhuo Sect, destroying its core strength.

Brother Bear and Strong Brother had trained their men to be shrewd and capable, attempting to reclaim their territory and secretly clashing with Longmen several times, even hijacking a money truck from Longmen during Christmas.

Tang Shuwen originally wanted to settle them quickly and thoroughly but was preoccupied by his upcoming wedding. He had planned to deal with this matter later on.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a threat after all.

After Tang Shuwen explained the situation to Ye Feimo, Ye Ningyuan also got an idea of what was going on and started investigating. Just then, Xiaohei called to inform them that they had spotted a suspicious van on the Suzhou-Nanjing Expressway and requested support.

Ye Feimo immediately gathered all members of Longmen and headed towards the Suzhou-Nanjing Expressway.

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

Tang Shuwen also went with them. Chen Xier grabbed his hand in fear, and Tang Shuwen turned around to kiss her lips lightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring our son back."

"Tianyu, Kelan, you both come with us," Ye Ningyuan said indifferently.

...

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

Tang Mandong put an arm around her, "Rest assured,嫂子, our people are more useful than the police."

Ye Ningyuan was surprised and enlarged the surveillance footage. Tang Mandong leaned in to take a look and said, "Isn't that Zhao Yuning"

In the video, Zhao Yuning's car was parked in front of the park. She looked beautiful but her eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at the entrance of the park, wanting to go inside yet lacking the courage.

She alternated between resentment, sorrow, and heartbreak.

She lingered at the park's entrance, looking anxious.

"Is there something wrong" Cheng Anya asked. Ye Ningyuan looked through several surveillance clips but only frowned. Xu Nuo adjusted to see nearby footage; one small section was missing.

The only thing visible was Zhao Yuning hesitating at the entrance, wanting to attend the wedding yet feeling heartbroken and indecisive. An hour of video had been destroyed midway with nothing left except for Zhao Yuning fleeing in panic at the end.

Given the missing hour, Ye Ningyuan couldn't find anything unusual since the footage was lost and couldn't be restored. No one knew what happened during this gap.

The security work for today's wedding is being handled internally by Longmen. Just in case something goes wrong, we've installed surveillance cameras everywhere, but there are still some blind spots. The perpetrator seems to be very familiar with the scene setup, indicating that they might also be a professional.

The phone rang, and Ye Saosan answered it. Ye Ningyuan put on his headphones; this was the call from the kidnapper, who simply demanded Tang Shuwen's life and specifically asked for her to go to XX port. If she didn't comply, he would kill Wendy and the child. The sound of Xiao Nian crying came through the phone, breaking Chen Xieru's heart.

The call was brief but Ye Ningyuan managed to trace their address, which indeed was on Hunning Road. Ye Saosan immediately called Tang Shuwen, instructing her to go to the port as requested, while everyone else waited for Tang Si's instructions.

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

"Silence!" Tang Si shot a stern look that exuded his former regal authority, "My woman doesn't need my son to save her."

Su Ran and Lin Diyun shook their heads at Tang Shuwen, who closed his eyes and silently vowed in his heart. He would definitely rescue Mom and ensure Xiao Nian comes out unharmed.

The atmosphere became 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 the culprit."

Ye Ningyuan smiled and said, "The Zhao family and Lihe Sect probably have no connection. However, it's indeed a bit suspicious; she looked sorrowful when she arrived but was visibly panicked when leaving. But that doesn't mean she's involved."

Chen Xieru held her head, feeling an intense headache. Her Xiao Nian and Tang Shuwen were both gone, along with the people who cared for her deeply—Tang Si and Wendy—and their fate was uncertain. She worried exceedingly but forced herself not to cry.

Everything will be fine.

Everyone was waiting for news. Time ticked by second by second, and Chen Xueru's heart gradually turned cold as she became increasingly anxious. She couldn't help but wonder if the kidnappers might kill Xiao Nian... She didn't dare to think further about it. Cheng Anya suggested that she rest, but Chen Xueru shook her head and insisted on waiting.

Cheng Anya couldn't help feeling relieved. In her younger days, she had been through countless dangerous situations, the most perilous of which was escaping from the island with Ye Sanshao. At that time, their fate hung in the balance; there were moments when she thought she would surely die.

After Louis's death, she and Hailan, Feimo had also been kidnapped once. However, it turned out to be without serious incident except for that one time, she hadn't faced life-threatening danger since then. Yet Feimo was kidnapped four times, and each time Chen Xueru worried deeply, fearing something might happen to the child. Especially after Hailan's death when he was kidnapped again, she had stayed awake for three days and two nights straight, too afraid to even close her eyes in case she heard news of his death.

She could fully understand Chen Xueru's current feelings.

Tang Mandong was the daughter of the Tang family, with a stronger ability to endure mentally than others. However, Chen Xueru was the one who suffered most deeply because Xiao Nian was her whole life.

With no message from Heihei yet, Ye Sanshao and the others saw news on TV about an explosion at XX port, with flames reaching towards the sky. Chen Xueru covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide with fear, while Tang Mandong's heart clenched tightly.

Ye Ningyuan frowned as he tracked their car via a tracker; it was still at the port. The police were on their way, and if they didn't leave soon, they might be caught red-handed. He had tampered with traffic cameras on the road, so there shouldn't be any major issues, provided they weren't apprehended immediately.

Ye Feimo called back to say everything was taken care of; however...

Tang Shuwen took a bullet shot meant for Xiao Nian and had been rushed to the hospital. Upon hearing this news, Chen Xueru's legs gave out as she collapsed onto the sofa.

At the hospital, Tang Shuwen was taken into emergency care. Longmen had sealed off all information.uch a school didn’t exist in the past. Later, due to the overly systematic and disorganized nature of knowledge education, which required teachers tailored to each agent’s individual circumstances, al...
