Shen Xi’s body trembled upon hearing that. She stopped in her tracks, quickly turned, and ran back, pulling Yan Yan into her arms.
“Yan Yan, be good, don’t worry. They’re just playing and got lost. Mommy will go get them back right away. You just wait at home, okay?”
“Mhm. Okay. Yan Yan will be good and wait for you to come back. Mommy, hurry back,” Yan Yan said obediently, gently wiping away the tear tracks on her face.
Shen Xi stood up straight, glanced at Butler Wu again, and then ran out the door without looking back.
Time was of the essence; she couldn’t afford to waste another second.
When Xie Yifei arrived at the airport entrance, she happened to see Butler Wu and Yan Yan waiting for a car by the roadside.
She quickly drove her car over, rolled down the window, and asked, “Butler Wu, Yan Yan, why are you standing here? Where is Shen Xi?”
Upon seeing her, Yan Yan’s eyes immediately turned red. Her voice choked as she said, “Auntie Yifei, Mommy she…”
At that moment, a horn blared from a car behind them.
Xie Yifei knew this was the roadside and she couldn't stop for too long. She quickly got out and helped them load all their luggage into the car. “Quick, get in and we’ll talk.”
After the car started moving normally, Xie Yifei let out a light sigh and asked, “Butler Wu, what exactly is going on?”
Butler Wu thought for a moment and recounted everything that had happened in the hall to her.
“What did you say? Shen Xi went to find the two children alone. Did she say where she was going?” Xie Yifei glanced back at the rearview mirror in utter shock.
“No. When she left, she also told us not to tell anyone about this,” Butler Wu frowned.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yifei’s heart grew even more uneasy, feeling that things were not as simple as Shen Xi had made them out to be.
She immediately took out her phone and dialed Shen Xi’s number.
Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.
“Hello? Xi Xi, where are you now?”
“On the road,” Shen Xi replied curtly with three words.
“Which road? Where are you going?” Xie Yifei pressed with a serious tone.
Shen Xi paused on the other end before replying, “Yifei, don’t ask so many questions. If you want to help me, go to the airport and bring Yan Yan and the others home.”
“They’re already in my car. Tell me quickly, where are you going?” Xie Yifei asked again.
Shen Xi said, “Yifei, please don’t ask anymore. Just get them home safely. I’m in a hurry here, I won’t talk anymore. Goodbye.”
“Hello? Hello?” Xie Yifei shouted into the phone twice, but the line had already gone dead.
When she tried to call again, she heard an automated message indicating the phone was turned off.
Xie Yifei slammed the steering wheel forcefully and immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road, getting out.
Butler Wu also got out of the car. “Miss Xie, what should we do now?”
He knew that the situation must be very serious, otherwise, Xie Yifei wouldn’t have lost her composure earlier.
And she had chosen to get out of the car at this moment precisely to avoid Yan Yan worrying.
“This should be very serious. I suspect Chen Chen and Shuo Shuo have been kidnapped by bad guys. They only want her to go alone to rescue them, which is why she kept the location from us,” Xie Yifei replied thoughtfully.
“Ah? Then… then shouldn’t we notify Mr. Qin? He must have a way,” Butler Wu’s eyes darted as he thought of Qin Si Ye first.
“Yes. I think so too. But I don’t have his phone number. Do you?” Xie Yifei agreed with Butler Wu’s idea, but hesitated as she took out her phone.
“I… I don’t either,” Butler Wu replied.
Just then, Xie Yifei suddenly thought of someone and immediately dialed their number.
On the other side, Shen Xi had already arrived at the designated location.
Happy Farm was a rural leisure park located in the western suburbs of K City. Years ago, it was very popular, attracting many city dwellers to experience rural life.
However, as many people saw the business opportunity, dozens of similar rural leisure parks sprang up around K City.
Suddenly, supply exceeded demand, and after people had tried it once, their initial enthusiasm gradually waned.
Soon, these rural leisure parks slowly faded away. The owner of Happy Farm had long since disappeared.
However, the courtyards and houses were still well-preserved.
As soon as Shen Xi got out of the car, two men in black came forward and roughly snatched the bag from her hand.
They covered her eyes with a black cloth and, one on each side, pressed her arms and led her inside.
