1150 I Want to Make You Stay 28 (1/2)
It was the DK Organization attacking them.
However, there was no turning back now and An Xiaoning had been successfully brought to a safe ground.
As soon as they landed, she heard him grunt in pain. Clearly, his calf had yet to recover completely.
An Xiaoning held onto him, and a lump formed in her throat as she asked, ”Qingyan, what do we do now? I wonder how the children are doing now.”
”He's after us, not the children. His purpose for kidnapping the children is just so he could threaten us. He won't touch the children before he kills us. After all, if the children were to die, he would lose his trump card. I've already received a text message from Xihou Jiaping.”
”What did he say?”
”He said that he wants me to give up my life in exchange for the children being released. Which means that by coming here, not only will you be unable to see the children, you'd also be losing your life.”
”I know. I know that it won't be easy to rescue the children, but I don't have another option,” she said.
”Weren't we already certain of that when they were kidnapped? I only agreed to let you come because I wanted to verify if he's still in S Nation. Otherwise, why would I want you to make this wasted trip?” he said, staring at her.
”He's indeed not in M Nation.”
”I've already verified that. I left the estate via the secret passageway in the cellar. Apart from a few people, everyone else thinks that I'm still in Wei Ni Estate. Xihou Jiaping is still after me right now. He must still be in S Nation. As long as he's in S Nation, there'd be no escape for him.”
An Xiaoning did not understand what he meant at all. ”Why is there no escape for him as long as he's in S Nation?”
”Xiaoning, do you remember what day it is tomorrow?”
”It's the 15th of July, Yiheng's and my birthday…”
”Correct…”
”What does that have to do with him?”
He held her hand and interlocked fingers with her. ”You'll find out when the time comes.”

”Sis Erlan, just what's going on? Why has Cousin gone missing again?” Xiao Yue asked.
”He has something important to handle,” said Fang Erlan, who had no idea what was going on either. She only knew that Xiao Chenyang had appeared extremely austere after reading a text message and left in a hurry.
The studio transferred the two bodyguards to her again.
”What important matter is it? He's gone again after leaving all of a sudden last time,” said Xiao Yue, who was in low spirits because she could not see him.
”I'm not too sure either.”
”Didn't Cousin tell you? He couldn't have gone for a matchmaking session, could he?” Xiao Yue asked in puzzlement.
”Matchmaking session? I don't think so,” Fang Erlan said firmly.
”Sis Erlan, you must know where he lives, then.”
Fang Erlan said, ”He lives in A City… with me. Don't you already know that?”
”I meant his own home.”
”His own home… I'm not too sure.”
”Why are you so unsure about everything…? Cousin seems to know everything about you but you barely know anything about him,” remarked a bewildered Xiao Yue.
”I'll go take a nap in the van. Wake me up at two o'clock.”
”Okay.”
Once she got inside the nanny van, she dialed Xiao Chenyang's number.
The call went through, and his ringtone was a melancholic melody.
It exuded a classic vibe.
Xiao Chenyang answered a short while later.
”What is it?” he answered coldly.
