As Jiang Nuan turned, the man in black disappeared around the corner, clutching a child.
Jiang Nuan initially thought he was a pursuer, but he wasn't. At the corner, he had snatched a little girl who had just come out of a villa.
Jiang Nuan turned and followed.
Then she considered, the person had followed her, but abducted a child.
Who was this child?!
As Jiang Nuan passed the villa, she saw the villa gate was tightly shut. She didn't have time to think and followed at top speed.
Regardless of the other party's motive, she would never let that child get hurt.
Jiang Nuan chased for a while in the villa area and saw the man carrying the child into a black car.
Seeing that she was close to home, Jiang Nuan locked the license plate, quickly returned to the basement, and rode her motorcycle to take a shortcut to chase.
The surveillance showed the car had already reached the city roads.
It was the fourth day of the new year, and there weren't many people returning to the city. The weather was still very cold, the roads were sparsely populated, and the other car was driving very fast.
Jiang Nuan followed all the way.
The cold wind raged. Under her helmet, the warm breath exhaled from her mouth made her stunning face flicker in and out of sight.
Killing intent surged in her eyes, her gaze was cold and indifferent.
She hated people who harmed children.
No matter what grievances adults had, children were always innocent. Thinking of her own three children being hung on a cliff once, her heart ached.
Jiang Nuan chased all the way out of the city, to a civilian house, where the car slowly stopped.
Seeing the car stop, Jiang Nuan also parked her motorcycle not far away.
She watched the man in the black jacket carry the little girl into the civilian house, and the bright red door slammed shut.
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to follow, her phone vibrated. She took out her phone from her bag and saw it was Nanzhou.
She walked forward while answering the call.
"Nanzhou."
"Nuannuan, are you home? I'm coming to find you." Nanzhou's voice sounded cheerful.
Jiang Nuan was already close to the gate, and she smiled, saying, "Nanzhou, I'm not home. Can I see you tomorrow?" She knew Nanzhou was very busy now, and she had been busy lately too.
Upon hearing this, Nanzhou's voice became a little dejected. "I thought I could see you today. I didn't expect you to be busy. The medicine I told you about last time, I got a sample here, and I wanted you to help me analyze what ingredients are in it. I found some information here, and I wanted to discuss it with you."
Jiang Nuan: "Okay! Then bring it tomorrow, I'll hang up now."
"Okay! Nuannuan, happy new year!"
Jiang Nuan smiled warmly, "Happy new year!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nuan found a wall she could climb. She leaped onto the wall with a ghost-like agility.
The courtyard was not large, with a small patio in the middle. On the left, there was an apple tree and some potted plants, its bare branches sticking out.
Jiang Nuan used the height of the apple tree to easily jump into the courtyard.
She crouched down, getting close to the room, and heard angry voices from inside.
"You useless piece of trash, I showed you the photos, and you still got the wrong person. This little girl is not Mu Jiuchen's daughter at all."
Jiang Nuan's face turned pale with shock. So, the person they wanted to capture was Yunyun.
"Boss, you said building A, how could I have misremembered?" The man's voice sounded wronged.
"Trash, I said building A, what did you hear? Now immediately return this child, don't cause any more trouble."
"No, boss, the people living there are all wealthy. Let's find someone to ask for their phone numbers or send a message, and we can extort some money from them. It's the New Year, let's get some money to use. My wife calls every day asking for money, and I'm so annoyed."
"You scoundrel, how much money is that? As long as we catch Mu Jiuchen's daughter and get that money, we can retire and live a comfortable life back home instead of being stuck in this city. Isn't that better?"
"But we got the wrong person, and now we have to return her, isn't that walking right into a trap?"
"I don't care about that. You caught the person, so you deal with it. It has nothing to do with me. Before dark today, we must catch Mu Jiuchen's daughter and hand her over to the other party. Once we get the money, we'll leave this place."
The man's tone was fierce.
"Alright, alright, what bad luck, I actually got the wrong person. I'll just dump this child by the roadside and let her fend for herself."
The man came out holding the child. Jiang Nuan quickly hid in the shadows.
She saw the man come out carrying a little girl.
The little girl seemed to be asleep, her head hanging limply, completely unconscious.
Jiang Nuan tapped her phone a few times, "Number one, be quick."
Number One: "Nuannuan, arranging it immediately."
Jiang Nuan watched the man leave and, following the wall, she also slipped away.
Unexpectedly, the man returned.
He was still muttering curses, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Jiang Nuan standing in the courtyard, and he was startled.
With a guilty conscience, his reaction was strong, and the little girl in his arms almost slipped from his grasp.
"Who are you?" the man shouted fiercely.
Jiang Nuan's eyes were cold and ruthless. She hadn't expected the man to return.
Jiang Nuan glanced at the little girl in his arms and smiled, saying, "Brother, it's like this, I'm here to visit relatives, but I came to the wrong door. Sorry."
The man frowned slightly, clearly not believing her words. "What's your relative's name?"
Jiang Nuan said without hesitation, "Wang Cuihua, my aunt. I've never been here since she married into this village. My mother told me she lived here. I just saw the door was open and wanted to ask for directions. I hope I haven't bothered you, brother."
The man said with a stern face, "Wang Cuihua lives in the east of the city. How did you find your way here? Hurry up, hurry up, don't block my business here."
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment, then asked, "Which direction is it?"
Jiang Nuan added anxiously, "It's like this, brother, I'm also looking for him urgently. There's something going on at home, and I need to find my aunt as soon as possible."
She had encountered the name Wang Cuihua many times, and it had always been correct. As long as it was a place close to the countryside, this name always appeared.
The man frowned, looking impatient. "Go east when you leave the door, hurry up, hurry up, what bad luck."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Bad luck, your grandpa.
This face of mine is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see it. It's bad luck for me to see you?
But why would such a stupid person be involved in such a shady business?
Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of person isn't enough for her daughter to gnaw on.
Jiang Nuan left quickly. Hearing the alarm sound outside, she knew why the man had returned. She heard the siren.
As Jiang Nuan exited the gate, she suddenly turned around, quickly returned, grabbed the back collar of the man, and pulled hard.
"Ah..." The man cried out in surprise, falling to the ground with the child in his arms.
Jiang Nuan took the opportunity to quickly snatch the little girl from his arms.
She kicked him, and the man rolled on the ground and was completely knocked unconscious from the pain.
The man inside the house heard the commotion outside, opened the door, saw the scene in the courtyard, and without hesitation, aimed the gun in his hand at Jiang Nuan and fired.
