Chapter 90 - 90 90 Su Baobao's Self-Rescue


90: Chapter 90 Su Baobao’s Self-Rescue 90: Chapter 90 Su Baobao’s Self-Rescue “Master, the Young Madam has come out.”


Jiang Feng saw a woman in a beige long dress walking out of the police station lobby.


However, Su He did not walk towards them but slightly bowed her head and hurriedly got into a white sedan, driving away soon after.


Jiang Yan looked back but could only see a figure from the back.


“Follow her.” He frowned and said in a deep voice.


“Yes!”


Soon, another car followed.


Five minutes later, a black G-Wagon stopped in front of the police station.


“Boss, come out, I’ve already reached the entrance,” Lan Yan called to Su He.


Su He got into the car, and the black G-Wagon drove away.


“Master Lu, it seems President Jing has gotten into that black SUV.”


Lu Zhiyang: “Mhm, follow it, make sure you aren’t noticed.”


“Got it!”



“Boss, don’t worry, Xixi is so smart, he won’t have any problems.”


“No matter how smart he is, he’s still just a little over three years old.”


It’s fake to say Su He isn’t worried.


Su Yimo’s tracker showed he was near the factories in the Northern Suburb, but it could not pinpoint an exact location.


There are many factories there, and a lot of them are abandoned.


But the kidnapper sent a message to Jing Xuan, the address is on the Southern City Pier.


Not long after, Su He’s phone rang.


It was Bai Yang.


Bai Yang: “Hey, boss, I just saw the distress signal sent by Xixi.”


“Distress signal?” Su He furrowed her eyebrows.


“Yes, I improved the necklace I gave to Xixi last time, there’s a very small button on the pendant that only he and I know about, as soon as he presses it, I can locate his exact position.


The coordinates just showed he’s inside factory number 46 in the outskirts of Yue City in the Northern Suburb, I just checked, it’s an abandoned tannery, I’ve sent the location to you.”


Su He: “Alright, I got it.


Keep an eye on his location and inform me immediately if there’s any change.”


From what Bai Yang said, Xixi should really be in the suburbs.


After hanging up, she dialed Jing Xuan’s number.


“Baobao, what’s wrong?”


“Xiaxia, I’ve confirmed the baby’s location, it’s outside the city, and I think there might be people at the pier you’re headed to, be careful,” Su He cautioned.


Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan sighed in relief.


As long as Xixi wasn’t at the pier, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.


“Okay, I know, don’t worry, I’m not so easily mess with,” Jing Xuan gritted her teeth and said, “If I find out who’s behind this, I swear on my family name, I’ll make sure they pay!”



Northern Suburb, an abandoned tannery.


Su Baobao was forced to sit on the dusty floor.


His little face was almost scrunched together, showing his unhappiness.


He has a thing for cleanliness, and his whole body felt uncomfortable right now.


Two men with a sneaky look sat in front of him.


“Lin, this kid, I must say, is cute, I can hardly bring myself to do it,” one of the men with blond hair said: “Rich people’s kids are well-raised, all chubby and soft.”


Su Baobao pouted, round eyes glaring at them.


“The tot hasn’t cried even once despite being kidnapped by us for so long, got quite the nerve, hasn’t he?”


The man referred to as Lin looked at Su Baobao and said: “Kid, glaring at me won’t help.


It’s your family’s fault for messing with the wrong people, don’t worry, we’ll make it quick for you.”


Su Baobao furrowed his little brow and said in a baby voice: “You want to kill me?”


The two men were slightly stunned.


The little kid actually understood his words, which was rather unexpected.


Kids this age generally only know eating, drinking, going to the toilet, sleeping, and playing.


Lin Wei laughed, “Well, I must say, not only are you smart, but you’ve got quite the guts.”


The child didn’t even blink as he spoke.


“How old are you, kid?”


“Three years and three months.”


Su Baobao answered.


“Wow, just over three years old, but your courage is definitely not just three years old.”


Su Baobao ignored their words and said, “How much money did the other party give you?


I’ll double it for you, and I can transfer the money to you on the spot, but you can’t kill me.”


The two men looked at each other upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.


The blond man stepped forward, squatted in front of him and said, “Kid, where did you learn to talk big like this?


A three-year-old kid, where would you get any money?


You brazenly say you’ll transfer money to us on the spot, do you think we’re gullible three-year-olds or what?


Huh?”


Su Baobao, of course, knew they wouldn’t believe him right away.


He blinked his round, large eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, “Then how about this, I’ll first transfer one million to you to test the waters, and all you have to give me is a cell phone.”


Seeing that they were still skeptical of him, the naïve childish voice sounded again, “Don’t worry, uncles, Baobao won’t mess around, you can watch me do it.”


The two men looked sincerely convinced after hearing his earnest words and exchanged glances.


“Lin, shall we trust this brat this one time?” Blond said, “He wouldn’t dare pull any tricks even if left alone.”


Not making money when there’s a chance is just plain stupid, isn’t it?


On the other side.


Su He and Lan Yan had already rushed to the suburbs.


They didn’t drive into the factory area, but got out of the car on the roadside instead.


This place was an abandoned factory area, dead silent and pitch-black as far as the eye could see.


There wasn’t even a single light, chilling to the bone.


If someone came here in the middle of the night, they’d be scared half to death.


After getting out of the car, they moved toward the abandoned leather factory using the weak moonlight, following the location Bai Yang had sent.


They dared not turn on any flashlights for fear of revealing that someone had arrived.


“Lan Yan, you stand guard at the entrance, I can go in by myself,” Su He whispered.


“If there’s trouble, I’ll call for you.”


Lan Yan nodded her head.


Meanwhile.


At the Southern City Pier.


Jing Xuan had arrived as well.


She had just parked the car when her phone rang, another unknown number.


She pressed the answer button, “Hello, I’m here, where are you guys?”


Then, that rough and coarse voice came through, “Miss Jing, kindly get out of the car, walk a hundred meters forward, turn right, and walk another hundred meters.


You’ll find a small yacht there.


Get on it and sail away from the pier.”


As Jing Xuan was listening to him, she was also getting out of the car and following the route he described.


Her brow was furrowed, her voice icy as she said, “First, let me see my child.”


“Don’t worry, you’ll see your child as long as you obediently follow instructions,” came the reply.


Jing Xuan reached the yacht but didn’t immediately get on.


Instead, she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone: “First, let me see that my child is safe, then I’ll board the yacht.”


The man on the phone said, “Miss Jing, do you think this is a marketplace where you can haggle?”


Jing Xuan chuckled, “How would I know if you’re not playing me?


I’ll get on provided you let me see my child.


Otherwise, forget it, it’s not like I can’t just have another.”


“Fine, I’ll have someone send you a video right now.”


The call was not hung up but just muted.


Jing Xuan couldn’t hear what they were saying.


They were so eager to have her on this yacht, there must be a trick.


Inside the abandoned leather factory, Su Baobao was transferring the money.


Lin Wei, having been ordered to take a video of the child, was filming when a bank transfer notification popped up on his phone.


He sent the video to the other party, then checked the message.


One million had indeed been deposited into his account.


The two men were dumbfounded.


“You see, I didn’t lie to you, right?” Su Baobao said somewhat proudly, tilting his chin up.


Blond: “Lin, it really is a million.”


Lin Wei was also surprised, for a child just over three years old to have a million to spend was something not many could do, let alone a child.


“Kid, where did this money come from?”


“It’s my dad’s money, I have his password.


He said before, his money is mine to use whenever,” the little guy bragged, rolling his eyes proudly.


That’s right, the one million he had just transferred to them was not from Su He’s account, but from Jiang Yan’s account.


At that moment, a bank withdrawal notification arrived on Jiang Yan’s phone.


Just as he was about to glance at it, the car stopped at the pier.


In the dim light of the pier, Jiang Feng saw a white sedan not far away and said, “Master, the Young Madam doesn’t seem to be in the car anymore.”


They had just avoided following too closely, so they were a few steps behind.


They didn’t see where Su He went after getting out of the car.


“Get out and look for him!”


“Yes!”


The three men got out of the car together, but just as they had taken a few steps, they heard a roaring sound.


Jiang Feng ran towards the sound and saw white waves being stirred up on the pitch-black sea.


“Master, the Young Madam seems to have taken the yacht out to sea,” he called out.


At this moment, Chen Chen and the others hurried over.


He didn’t recognize Jiang Yan and the others, “Who are you?”


Seeing them in bulletproof vests, Jiang Feng knew they were from the police, “Hello, the person who just left on the yacht is our Young Madam, where is she headed now?”


It’s not normal to go out to sea late at night, and she’s not a fisherman.


Chen Chen glanced at Jiang Yan, whose expression was somewhat dark and gloomy, sensing a formidable and oppressive aura emanating from him.


“Oh, are you the father of the kidnapped child?” he asked Jiang Yan.


Jiang Yan paused, confused about what child, what father?


“Bang!”


A loud noise suddenly came from the abandoned leather factory.


Lin Wei and his accomplice were startled.


“Lin, do you think someone has found this place?” Blondie asked.


Lin Wei squinted his eyes, “This place is remote and secretive; no one will find it here.


It might be a stray cat knocking over something nearby.”


“Lin, I’ll still go check it out.”


“Yeah, go ahead.”


The most important thing is, what they do is always shady, and sometimes, being careful could save their lives.


Making money but losing life would be a loss.


As soon as Blondie left, Su Baobao said in a milky voice, “Uncle, I have already proved to you that I am a wealthy child.”


Su Baobao spoke with great pride, “Now you can name your price.


I’ll give you double the money.


If double is not enough, then triple, quadruple, anything is fine.


Anyway, my dad’s pockets are full of money.”


It wasn’t his money anyway, so he didn’t need to be heartbroken about how much was spent.


He’s his son; it’s only natural to use dad’s money for his own cause.


That’s how Su Baobao saw it.


Lin Wei stated a figure, and without hesitation, Su Baobao nodded and transferred six million to his account.


Receiving the money, Lin Wei was overjoyed.


They had never made so much money in their line of work, and it was so easy, too.


An excited heart, trembling hands.


“Kid, just how rich is your dad?” Lin Wei asked.


Su Baobao rolled his eyes like a little adult and hummed meaningfully, “I don’t know exactly, but it’s the kind that you can’t spend in a lifetime.”


He wasn’t lying; he had checked the old antique’s family fortune before returning to China, and it boiled down to one thing: a big tycoon, nothing in abundance but money!


Upon hearing this, Lin Wei’s eyes lit up as if he’d seen the God of Wealth.


“Hey kid, what does your family do?”


Su Baobao frowned slightly, glancing at him with a hint of disdain.


Lin Wei was puzzled, “What’s wrong?


Can’t I ask that?”


Su Baobao sighed and shook his head, “You kidnap me without even checking what my family does?


Are you even professional kidnappers?”


He was very doubtful of their professionalism!


As the little guy spoke, he climbed onto a clean chair, sat down properly, and crossed his legs like a little grandee.


Looking up, he stared at them, his chubby face full of suspicion.


“One of my mom’s jobs is a doctor, and as for my dad, he is the chairman of a listed company and also the richest man in Yue City.


Plus, my great-grandpa and great-great-grandma are significant contributors to the country.


My great uncle is the head of a hospital, my great-aunt is the mayor, Uncle Siyang is a criminal policeman, Uncle Yang is from special forces, and Lan Yan is a Sanda champion…”


Su Baobao counted on his little fingers one by one, and Lin Wei’s heart sank more and more.


This kid’s family didn’t have a single easy target; he couldn’t afford to offend any of them, but the other side initially said that this child was just from a wealthy family with no significant background.


But now—


Apart from the money, there was also a powerful support group.


There were people from all sorts of circles…


How could it be?


No wonder, this kid had been fearless from the start.


Who would dare to mess with a child with such a background?


Lin Wei swallowed hard and said timidly, “Uh, little ancestor, if I let you go now, send you back home, and return the money you just gave me, would that count as atonement?”


He was afraid.


If he kept this money, he might not live to spend it.


Upon hearing this, Su Baobao immediately stretched out his little hand and waved generously, “No need, no need.


You keep the money and spend it slowly on your own.”


Lin Wei was so frightened that his mouth went dry.


He licked his lips with his tongue and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.


Raising his hand, he waved, “No, no, no, I can’t afford this money.


I’ll give it back to you.”


After he finished speaking, he immediately took out his phone, opened the UnionPay app, and transferred back the 7 million that Su Baobao had just sent him without using any of it.


But just as he was going to enter the password, Su Baobao stopped him, “Wait.”


“What…


what’s wrong?”


“Uncle, do you really not want the money?”


“Ah, no, I don’t want it.”


“Why don’t you want it?


I’ve already said, this money is a gift to you, don’t worry, I won’t delve into where this money goes.”


Su Baobao earnestly persuaded him to accept the money.


But the more he said it, the more unsettled Lin Wei felt.


What the heck, who would give away 7 million for him to spend?


This isn’t just 700 bucks!


Even if this is pie falling from the sky, it’s too big of a piece; he couldn’t chew it.


Su Baobao lifted his little head and huffed, threatening, “If you dare to transfer this money back, I’ll have someone grab you and throw you in jail.


You should know that you can’t escape from our family’s grasp.”


Lin Wei’s hand shook: “…”


He had been scared by a child a little over three years old, probably no one would believe it if he said it out loud!


Just at this moment—


“Bang!”


“Ouch…”


Blondie was thrown in from the outside and landed on the floor, legs in the air.


Lin Wei was startled, his hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground.


He turned his head to look towards the door and saw a tall and gorgeous woman standing there.


Upon seeing the arrival was Su He, Su Baobao quickly got off his chair and ran towards Su He as if delighted.


Lin Wei didn’t respond in time to stop him, and even if he did, he wouldn’t dare.


“Mommy~”


The little guy rushed over and hugged her.


“Baby, are you hurt?” Su He crouched down and asked, cupping his little face.


Su Baobao shook his head, saying in a milky voice, “Nope, they were pretty nice to me, didn’t tie me up with a rope, didn’t scold me or hit me.”


After checking and seeing that the little one was unscathed, Su He finally breathed a sigh of relief.


Then, Lin Wei and Blondie caught Su He’s icy glance, their bodies trembling, feeling a chill up their spines, limbs heavy as if filled with lead, unable to move.


Lin Wei stammered: “That, we were ordered by someone to kidnap your child, it wasn’t intentional, just now we were preparing to return the kid, and now that you’re here, we’ll, we’ll just leave him with you, and we…


we’ll be going.”


After speaking, the two of them attempted to leave through the side door.


But at this time, two men walked in from the side door.


They immediately stopped in their tracks.


Lu Zhiyang and his assistant.


But after the two came in, they found the woman they had followed was not Jing Xuan, but Su He, and both were taken aback.


Su He was also stunned.


Why was Lu Zhiyang here?


By the time she came back to her senses and tried to shield Su Baobao’s face, it was too late, Lu Zhiyang had already seen him.


And his assistant also said with particular surprise, “This…


this child, looks a lot like Master.”


Lu Zhiyang’s deep and black eyes narrowed, indeed very similar, or even to say a spitting image.


Lin Wei and Blondie only felt a powerful oppressive force bearing down on them.


Their legs trembled, almost kneeling on the ground.


However, the next second, the man’s deep and sharp gaze fell on them, and they couldn’t help but kneel down with a “thud.”


The two of them begged Lu Zhiyang for mercy, praying.


“Big brother, please let us two brothers go, we were blinded by greed, we didn’t see clearly and kidnapped your child.”


“Right, right, right, we already realized our mistake, just now, the child’s mother already gave me a beating.”


“…”


At the Southern City Pier, Jing Xuan was driving a yacht, heading towards the center of the sea, where the sea was pitch black, as if there was no end.


At that moment, her phone rang; it was a call from Su He.


As soon as the call connected, Su He’s voice came through, “Xiaxia, where are you?”


Su He had just finished asking when she heard the roaring sound of the yacht from the other end.


Without waiting for Jing Xuan to speak, she yelled…
