Chu He faced forward again and, without poise, grabbed with one hand Luo Qing’s collar roughly. “Where did you hide my son?”
“Your son? Are you talking about that fleshy-looking boy?” asked the man, looking confused.
“Don’t you care! Speak: Where is the boy whom you took away that night? Where did you hide him!” Her voice was interspersed with an overpowering aura.
Her patience had run short after two days and nights of not hearing from her son.
Luo Qing was scared out of his wits by her menacing look and started to shake; even his voice was trembling when he answered her question. “T-That… We didn’t hide that boy away! We… were merely following orders! We… brought that kid to the capital and, after that… took the money and left. The boy was left inside the warehouse; we didn’t bring him back… nor do we know what happened to him afterward…”
His narration was intelligible and slurred due to his nervousness and inexplicable fear.
The lady cop no longer had any patience and gave him a punch.
It was such a forceful beating that she almost dislocated his jaw.
The criminal had turned as pale as a sheet of white paper by then, but he still dared not resist.
He had never seen a woman with such a terrifying presence!
The look in her eyes suggested that she wanted to eat them alive, much like a beast waiting to devour its prey!
Meng Qingxue got down from the bed and asked furiously, “That night, you two broke into the house and kidnapped Baby Chu! What the hell is going on? Who ordered you to do that?”
It was not until she saw these two men dragged into the room with bound hands that she believed in Mu Yancheng’s innocence. Her man did not do it!
If it’s not him, then who?
“We merely followed orders. The person gave us some money, so we did what she had told us to do! We got the boy, but when we brought him to her, she told us that that’s not the child she’s looking for!”
“What do you mean?” Even Mu Yancheng found the whole matter fishy.
“That person said… that she wanted… wanted…”
While Luo Qing explained, he was timidly gauging Meng Qingxue, who was standing at the side, seemingly wanting to share more but was having scruples.
“You’d better own up the whole truth or you wouldn’t get to leave this place alive!” Mu Yancheng threatened sternly.
The man was so scared that he slumped to the ground with a thud. With his knees on the ground, he confessed forlornly, “Please have mercy! We have no grudges against this lady. The person instructed us to get the child, but we mistook her instruction and got the wrong boy. When we brought the kid to her, she told us that she wanted the child inside this lady…”
As the criminal explained in jittery, his gaze fell cautiously on Meng Qingxue.
The lady’s face turned white and her hand inadvertently covered her belly with trepidation.
Mu Yancheng furrowed his brows frigidly. “What do you mean?”
“That person said that she wanted the baby in her tummy; either we abort the child inside or kidnap her with the unborn baby, b-but… but her instructions were unclear, so we ended up confusing the child’s identity. Assuming that the boy was the kid she’s talking about, we took him, instead.”
The pregnant lady stumbled a step backward with her heart racing!
She had long guessed their evil intention. Obviously, these two men were acting under instructions and were after her unborn child!
