Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 955 - 944: The Villain Mom’s Little One

"Why haven’t the kidnappers called yet?" At the police station, Ye Ran was extremely anxious, blaming herself once again for entrusting her daughter to the nanny.

"If they want something, they will definitely contact us." Huo Xian was equally worried; over the years, he had long considered Ye Qiu as his own daughter and naturally didn’t want her to be harmed in any way.

Beside them, Yang Tai and Ning Yan were even more anxious. After all, Ye Qiu might just be collateral damage, but the kidnappers were specifically targeting their son.

"I’ve already sent someone to investigate, to see who might have such a big grudge against us recently." Yang Tai said grimly, clenching his fist. His son better be okay, or else...

"Haven’t you checked the surveillance yet?" Ning Yan shouted at the police in frustration.

"Sorry, Mrs. Ning, their car left the city, and there’s a blind spot there. We’ve already dispatched more personnel to search, and we’ve sent their car model and license plate number to the police stations in neighboring counties and cities. Please give us some time." The policeman tried to patiently explain.

"You mentioned a blind spot. What if they switched vehicles while in that surveillance blind spot?" Ning Yan stared at them intently.

The policewoman couldn’t bear her gaze and turned her face slightly: "We’ll try to deploy as many resources as possible."

"Alright, dear, they’ll do their best. Don’t get agitated. Think about all the good deeds you’ve done; surely the heavens will protect him in times of crisis." Yang Tai held her tightly, not realizing his own eyes were also welling with tears.

Ning Yan’s guess was correct. After the young man named Gangzi bought boxed meals, they switched to another car, drove back to the city, and finally stopped in a mixed urban village area.

"Don’t make any noise, understand? Otherwise, I’ll have to tie you up and tape your mouths shut, and then there won’t be any food or water for you." The middle-aged man threatened them.

"Uncle, don’t worry. Brother Junjun and I will be very obedient," Ye Qiu nodded like a little adult.

Seeing her like this, the middle-aged man smiled, surprisingly with a hint of fondness in it.

Perhaps thinking of his own daughter, the middle-aged man didn’t tie them up as he initially intended but instead locked them in a room with a high window, even providing some water and snacks inside.

"Sister Qiu, what do we do now?" Yang Zijun asked, a bit scared.

"Brother Junjun, don’t be afraid. Uncle and the others won’t harm us."

The childish voice passed through the not-so-soundproof door, and the middle-aged man chuckled slightly, "Little rascal."

After stopping the car outside the urban village, Xia Shian didn’t know what to do next, even afraid to go in. In her mind, urban villages were dirty, chaotic, and bad, with many criminals gathered, and she was very worried about encountering danger if she went in.

However, she was also afraid that not going in might hinder the little Crown Prince Pengcheng, and her husband wouldn’t complete his father-in-law’s test.

Xia Shian never realized that, despite priding herself on kindness, she hadn’t considered rescuing her cousin’s child as well.

Perhaps she had already determined that Ye Qiu was her husband’s child, so she didn’t want Ye Qiu to reappear. She didn’t even think about calling her husband Shen Zixing for help, acting only according to her own thoughts, rather preferring to remain at a loss than to seek assistance.

"Why haven’t the kidnappers called yet?" Ning Yan was pacing anxiously.

"Have you considered that maybe the kidnappers simply don’t know your phone number?" Huo Xian suddenly suggested.

It was an eye-opener. Yang Tai quickly lifted his head, "It’s possible my private number is only known to family and a few close old friends. The kidnappers don’t know my number, so I haven’t received any news."

"They’ll have to contact you eventually; do you have any other numbers that are publicly known?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I do. One is the company’s customer service phone, and another is my office phone, held by my secretary. She only contacts me for important news."

Yang Tai took out his phone: "I’ll call my secretary and the company customer service now, asking them to keep an eye out for any unusual calls."

After leaving Yang Tai in suspense for a while, the kidnappers finally called, frustrating them when the person on the other end thought they were scammers.

"Could it be Yang Tai doesn’t even care about his own son for money?" The youngest, Gangzi, spat and angrily kicked the door.

"From what I know, Yang Tai has only one son; he surely wouldn’t ignore him. Let’s wait a bit before calling again."

Meanwhile, Yang Tai called his secretary, learning she had recently received a call that sounded like a scam, claiming his son was kidnapped. After scolding the caller and hanging up, she was also frustrated.

He then asked his secretary to bring the phone to the police station, waiting impatiently without leaving for a moment.

Fortunately, the call came in again in less than half an hour, and he quickly answered it.

"President Yang finally took the call," the voice on the other end rasped with a sinister laugh.

"Did you kidnap my son and my friend’s daughter? What do you want?" Yang Tai tried to keep his voice steady.

"No particular reason, just a lesson for the arrogant President Yang, letting you know that money doesn’t grant you impunity."

Listening to these phrases, the officers nearby had already targeted lower-level personnel, writing "employee" on the suggestion board.

"Do we know each other? Are you an employee of my company?" Yang Tai asked following the hint.

"How could someone without education and skills be an employee of President Yang’s company? Even if I were, busy persons like President Yang wouldn’t know me. President Yang, did you ever think your son would get in trouble while you were squeezing the lifeblood out of people?" he chuckled, as if with a sense of determined desperation.

Yang Tai’s heart sank: "Did I offend you in some way? Please tell me, but the kids are innocent, please don’t harm them."

"How might you have offended people? President Yang, did you think you were innocent while deducting wages?"

"Deducting wages?" Yang Tai was astounded that this was the reason his son was kidnapped. He had always run his business fairly, when had he ever deducted wages?

"Mr., I, Mr. Yang, rely on reputation for business, never done anything unethical. I think you’re mistaken; tell me which company, and I’ll investigate."

"Wouldn’t saying expose me? I’m not that foolish. If you want to save your son, prepare thirty million, or you’ll never see your son again."

"Wait, don’t hang up! I want to know how my daughter is doing?" Realizing the kidnapper was about to hang up, Ye Ran quickly interjected.

"She’s fine." The kidnapper said these three words before hanging up, leaving Ye Ran’s heart still tense.
