Chapter 294 - Ye Luan As A Hostage

After learning the truth, Song Yan felt that he couldn’t face it, so he chose to leave the villa overnight to digest it alone.

Shao An summarized the information about the attack. Qiu Tong and Jin Yang analyzed it seriously and felt that there were two separate terrorist groups hiding in the dark. They were interested in the drug or in Qiu Tong. The masked criminal group would always appear at the critical moment to kill her.

The situation had become tricky, but they couldn’t find any clues that could confirm the other party’s identity.

Qiu Tong frowned. The children were sensible and obedient as they gathered in the corner to play quietly. She looked at them with gentle eyes and quickly sensed that something was wrong. She abruptly stood up and walked to Qiu Xingyuan’s side. “Where’s Ye Luan?”

Qiu Xingyuan put down his chemicals and looked at Qiu Xingqiao.

Qiu Xingqiao replied, “He said that he was going out to meet a friend. He left at around eight in the morning.”

Qiu Tong turned to stare at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already five in the evening.

She dialed Ye Luan’s number. A cold female voice sounded. “The number you’ve dialed is unavailable for now. Please try again later.”

Qiu Tong clenched her fists in panic and instructed Shao An to immediately search for Ye Luan.

Through the surveillance video around the villa, he learned that Ye Luan had indeed left by himself on a bus heading to the city. He was last seen by the surveillance cameras in an underground car park. There was no trace of him after that.

Qiu Tong stared fixedly at the screen and saw that familiar van in the parking lot.

She instantly felt uneasy as her phone rang.

Qiu Tong looked at the encrypted number and her heart sank.

Jin Yang answered the call and pressed the speaker button. Bo Lang’s voice came from the other end.

“Qiu Tong, are you surprised? We might meet again soon!”

Bo Lang motioned for a member to kick Ye Luan, who had fallen to the ground. He groaned in pain.

Bo Lang placed the phone in front of Ye Luan, gesturing for him to speak. Ye Luan gritted her teeth and glared at him with hatred.

“Ye Luan? Is that you? How are you now? Auntie Qiu will be there to save you soon! Hang in there!”

Bo Lang walked to a cracked glass mirror and adjusted his fake blue eye. “I only told him that I’m his father’s friend and that I’m in danger, someone is hunting me. I have what they want.”

“I didn’t expect this kid to be so stupid as to run out alone to see me.”

Bo Lang clicked his tongue and laughed. He kicked Ye Luan’s chest with the tip of his shoe. Seeing his body curled up in pain, he said to Qiu Tong, “He probably wanted to resolve this by himself because he’s afraid of implicating you guys. Your relationship is really great. I’m impressed.”

“I’ll give you two hours to think about this. Come and see me yourself.”

Bo Lang was in an enclosed place and his intact eye revealed a fierce killing intent. “I don’t need you to bring the drug with you this time. I just want your life! In two hours’ time. Exchange your life for his. Otherwise, I’ll kill him.”

“Wait to collect his corpse…”

When Ye Luan heard their conversation, he endured the pain and shouted, “Auntie Qiu, don’t worry about me! I’m not afraid of death!”

Bo Lang hung up the phone. He grabbed Ye Luan’s neck forcefully and lifted him up. His thin body flailed in the air. Ye Luan’s face had already turned purple, and he could barely breathe.

Ye Luan’s pupils dilated as Bo Lang abruptly let go, causing him to fall harshly to the ground.

Bo Lang stepped on his palm and crushed it harshly. Looking at Ye Luan’s stubborn eyes, he said kindly, “You’re really similar to your father. You’re as stubborn as him. You want to be a saint to save the world and sacrifice yourself to protect others.”

“I’m not lying to you. I’m indeed your father’s friend. I’m the friend who personally sent him to the netherworld.”

Bo Lang gestured with his hand like a pistol and placed it on Ye Luan’s temple. “I killed your father.”

“Before he died, he seemed to be calling your name. He said that he hoped that you would be brave enough to survive for him.”

Ye Luan’s eyes were bloodshot. He struggled with all his might, but it was useless. Bo Lang slapped him before instructing the members of the organization to tie a bomb to Ye Luan’s body. “Don’t worry. I’ll send you to reunite with him soon. Of course, there’s also your favorite Aunt Qiu!”

Bo Lang checked all the settings in the room. It would be a death trap for Qiu Tong. As long as she dared to come, she would not be able to escape.

At the villa, Qiu Tong received the address and prepared to leave immediately.

Jin Yang held her hand. “I’ll go with you.”

Qiu Tong opened her mouth to refuse, but when she met his dark eyes, she finally smiled and nodded.

The car sped along the highway. Qiu Tong looked down at the address Bo Lang had sent her. It was an abandoned military base. The other buildings had already been demolished half a year ago, leaving only one as the demolition had yet to be completed.

It seemed like Bo Lang had planned everything precisely…

Qiu Tong looked at Jin Yang worriedly as she secretly hid something in her sleeve.
