"Damn it!"
Jiang Feifei cursed at the steering wheel, then turned and grabbed Qianqian, who was trying to escape. She slapped her across the cheek and tied her up in a few swift movements. Ensuring she had no chance of escape, she pounced back into the driver's seat.
Before the driver could react, Jiang Feifei forcefully jammed her elbow into the base of his thigh, forcing his foot onto the accelerator. Once the car began to move, she spun the steering wheel and charged towards Jiang Ziyu.
Pupils dilating, Di Mingjue lunged towards Jiang Ziyu.
"Be careful!" xxs said.
As the words fell, the two of them tumbled to the ground.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyu was unharmed, Di Mingjue's heart, which had been in his throat, instantly settled.
If he had been a step slower, Jiang Ziyu would have been crushed into a meat patty beneath the wheels.
The van veered uncontrollably to the left, with no road ahead. As it was about to crash into a shop, the driver, fearing for his life, broke free from Jiang Feifei's control and slammed on the accelerator just before impact.
Half of the van's front entered the shop. The violent collision caused the airbags to deploy.
The out-of-control van startled pedestrians by the roadside. Once people recovered, someone in the crowd immediately dialed emergency services.
Jiang Ziyu, holding her injured leg, limped towards the back seat of the van.
Opening the car door, Qianqian, crying, ran from the car into Jiang Ziyu's embrace.
"Mommy, don't leave Qianqian."
Hearing the voice float up from her arms, Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but shed tears of regret.
"It's Mommy's fault, Mommy made Qianqian suffer."
If she could do it over, she wouldn't have left sneakily, causing Qianqian to miss her so much.
After the police arrived, Jiang Feifei, the driver, and the man from the apartment building were all taken to the police station.
Di Mingjue sent Shen Lin to accompany them to the police station to give statements, and also requested that the police heavily penalize the kidnappers.
...
"My Qianqian."
Back at the Di residence, the old lady tearfully took Qianqian from Jiang Ziyu's arms. For the past few days, she had dreamt of Qianqian crying out to her. Fortunately, the child was safe.
"Grandma, don't cry."
"Okay, Grandma..."
Mid-sentence, the old lady looked at Qianqian with disbelief.
"Your voice?" The old lady grabbed Qianqian's arm tightly. "Say it again, what did you just call me?"
"Grandma," Qianqian obediently said again.
The old lady kissed Qianqian's cheeks repeatedly. She looked at Di Mingjue in disbelief, "What on earth is going on? How can Qianqian suddenly speak?"
This was likely something only Jiang Ziyu could explain.
Di Mingjue gestured for Jiang Ziyu to respond.
Facing everyone's curiosity, Jiang Ziyu explained lightly, "Qianqian's voice was originally unable to speak due to shock. I prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine to condition her body a while ago, and combined with the danger she just experienced, the stimulation caused her to overcome her inner fear and make a sound."
"Good, good, it's good that she can speak," the old lady said, looking at Qianqian with relief.
Lu Sisi, standing nearby, was consumed by jealousy. She had already left, yet all the affairs seemed to be developing for the better upon her return. The benefits also fell into her lap by coincidence, and she had become a great benefactor to the Di residence.
Unable to stand the heartwarming scene, she deliberately asked, "Zi Yu jie, are you still leaving?"
"Mommy," Qianqian ran down from the old lady's embrace and grabbed Jiang Ziyu's hand, "Don't leave Qianqian again."
"Why are you such a disobedient child? I already told you, she is no longer your mommy." Di Jianhan stepped forward and tried to pull Qianqian's arm.
Her small body somehow possessed a surprising strength, and she managed to break free from Di Jianhan's pull.
"She is my mommy, and I want to be with Mommy!" Qianqian, afraid that Jiang Ziyu would push her away, clung tightly to her fingers.
Her heart ached intensely. Every word Qianqian spoke was like a knife piercing directly into Jiang Ziyu's heart.
