Without attracting any attention, an extremely ordinary car drove into the old city area.

But in the end, the car stopped in front of the old residence of the Kang family.

It was already noon.

Kang Ruicheng got out of the car and held the door with one hand. He said to Mumu, who was in the car, “Get out of the car.”

Mumu stayed in the corner of the back seat and said, “I want Granny Zhou right now!”

Although Daddy had promised to let Granny Zhou accompany him, it might be a lie.

He had to make a request to Daddy when Daddy asked for something from him.

If he compromised first, Daddy would not agree to his request.

Just like before, every time he saw Daddy, he would pester Daddy to take him away. However, Daddy always said that he had something to do and that next time, he would definitely take him away and live with him.

He had waited until he was four years old. Then, he secretly sneaked back from Country A to see Daddy and Auntie Youning.

He would not trust Daddy so easily again.

Kang Ruicheng compromised and said, “Get out of the car first. I’ll ask someone to take you there.”

Mumu finally showed a look of joy. He jumped out of the car and held Kang Ruicheng’s hand.

Kang Ruicheng took Mumu into the house, then went out from the back door, and finally entered a narrow and long alley.

Kang Ruicheng’s men were scattered in the alley. Some of them were smoking, some were fighting for fun, and the others were playing Chinese poker.

As soon as Kang Ruicheng pushed the door open, those men immediately got up and shouted in unison with fear, “Brother Cheng!”

Kang Ruicheng released Mumu’s hand and ordered one of them, “Take Mumu to see those two old ladies.”

The man was shocked. “Brother Cheng, why do you want Mumu to meet those two old ladies?”

Mumu frowned slightly and suddenly shouted, “You’re not allowed to call Granny Zhou and Granny Tang like this. You must call them Granny just like me.”

“…”

The man was stunned by Mumu’s shouting and could not speak for a while. There was an interior monologue popping up in his mind: “I’m not the grandson of those two ladies!”

But Kang Ruicheng was very satisfied with Mumu’s performance. His son should have such an imposing manner.

Thinking of this, Kang Ruicheng smiled and said to the man, “See? Just do whatever Mumu asks you to do. No questions.”

The man bowed his head and replied, “Yes, Brother Cheng!”

“All right.” Kang Ruicheng said, “Take Mumu there.”

“Mumu.” The man looked at Mumu with a conflicted expression and said, “Come with me.”

Mumu glanced back at Kang Ruicheng and followed the man who led the way for him without hesitation.

Dongzi looked at Mumu’s back and said with uncertainty, “Brother Cheng, Mumu seems to like the two old ladies very much. Shouldn’t we stop Mumu from seeing them? But you still let Mumu go there. Is that okay?”

“He just came back. If I stop him, he will probably make trouble.” Kang Ruicheng’s voice cooled down, and then he continued, “Since he likes them, let the two old ladies accompany him. Anyway… maybe I won’t let Tang Yulan go back alive.”

Dongzi had always thought that Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Tang Yulan just to threaten Lu Boyan.

However, Kang Ruicheng really wanted to kill Tang Yulan.

Dongzi looked at Kang Ruicheng blankly, unable to hide his shock at all.

Kang Ruicheng lit a cigar and said, “Fifteen years ago, Lu Boyan’s father killed my father. At that time, I already wanted Tang Yulan to die! But she created fake news to make me think that she had committed suicide with Lu Boyan.”

Dongzi knew that the grievance between Lu Boyan and Kang Ruicheng came from the last generation.

However, he did not know the fact that Tang Yulan had created the fake news of committing suicide.

Seeing Dongzi’s look of confusion, Kang Ruicheng continued, “After Lu Boyan’s father died, I didn’t intend to let Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan live, so I led some people to hunt them down. But later, I saw a report that Tang Yulan couldn’t bear to lose her husband and committed suicide with her only son. I believed it and followed my uncle to the Golden Triangle. I didn’t expect Tang Yulan to not only be alive but also take Lu Boyan to Country A.”

Dongzi did not expect the situation to be so complicated back then. He could not react for a while and said, “So?”

Kang Ruicheng’s expression suddenly became gloomy, and he put up a cruel and murderous look. “So, Tang Yulan lives fifteen years longer. She has earned those years, and it’s time to go to hell!”

Dongzi was awed by Kang Ruicheng’s murderous intent. He bowed his head and said respectfully, “Brother Cheng, you’re right. The entire Lu family should go to hell.”

Kang Ruicheng snorted and ordered, “Ask them to keep an eye on the two old ladies. Don’t let any accidents ruin my plan!”

Dongzi replied, “Yes!”

Kang Ruicheng returned to the old house, called Ah Jin over, and ordered, “I suspect that Mu Sijue and A Ning are in Dingya Villas. Go and check.”

Since Xu Youning left, Kang Ruicheng had not heard any news about Xu Youning.

Kang Ruicheng suddenly gave an order today, which made Ah Jin suspect something. “Brother Cheng, is Mumu back?”

Kang Ruicheng replied with a “yep” and took a drag on the cigar. “He just came back.”

Ah Jin pretended to be surprised and asked, “Brother Cheng, did we really trade Mrs. Zhou for Mumu?”

“Of course not. Mu Sijue was fooled.” Kang Ruicheng smiled. “That’s to say, Mu Sijue sent Mumu back to us for nothing.”

“Mumu isn’t injured, is he?” Ah Jin pretended to be worried and asked tentatively, “Where is he now? Is he okay?”

Kang Ruicheng said, “Mumu is not injured. He went to find the two old ladies as soon as he came back.”

He did not tell Ah Jin where Mumu went to find Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan.

In other words, he did not want Ah Jin to know where the two old ladies were being kept.

Ah Jin worked for Mu Sijue. Maybe Kang Ruicheng had already discerned his identity, so neither did he tell him about the action of kidnapping Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan, nor did he arrange for him to participate.

Even after successfully kidnapping them, Kang Ruicheng did not tell him where the two old ladies were kept.

Ah Jin knew that Mu Sijue was anxious, but he could not provide any useful information to Mu Sijue.

Ah Jin did not dare to inquire directly. He could only beat around the bush as he had done just now, hoping that Kang Ruicheng would inadvertently reveal the position of the two old ladies.

However, it turned out that he still underestimated Kang Ruicheng’s vigilance.

Ah Jin could only continue to pretend. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.” Then he continued to ask, “Brother Cheng, why do you suspect that Mu Sijue and Miss Xu are in Dingya Villas? Did you hear that from Mumu?”

“Mumu has no idea, but according to his description, I speculate that A Ning is in Dingya Villas.” Kang Ruicheng ordered, “No matter how much effort it takes, you have to find out!”

Ah Jin replied respectfully, “Yes!”

Kang Ruicheng waved his hand and said, “Well, you can leave now.”

After Ah Jin left, the servant came over and said, “Mr. Kang, lunch is ready. I specially made several dishes that Mumu likes.”

Dongzi happened to come over and asked, “Brother Cheng, do I need to call Mumu here?”

“It has been less than ten minutes since he saw the two old ladies. If you call him now, it will only make him angry.” Kang Ruicheng said, “Wait for another half an hour.”

Dongzi nodded and said, “Okay.”

He looked at his watch and began to count down.

Kang Ruicheng was right. At this time, Mumu just saw Aunt Zhou.

After passing through a long and narrow alley, the subordinate took Mumu into an even older house.

It was obvious that no one had lived here for many years. There were not even withered plants in the yard. A chill wind blew at the house, leaving only dreariness.

The subordinate pointed to the main hall and said, “The persons you’re looking for are inside.”

Mumu ran into the hall. “Granny Zhou!”

Hearing Mumu’s voice, Aunt Zhou thought it was her illusion. She followed the voice and looked up. It was really Mumu!

As soon as Mumu came in, he saw Aunt Zhou, who was handcuffed together with another old lady.

The little boy instantly looked unhappy. He turned to the subordinate and ordered, “Uncuff Granny Zhou and Granny Tang!”

“Well…” The subordinate seemed to be in a dilemma. “Mumu, we have to ask your daddy first…”

Mumu put on a solemn look, which surprisingly added a touch of seriousness and toughness to his tender and lovely face. “Didn’t my daddy tell you that you have to listen to me and ask no questions? Or, I will be angry!”

“…” The subordinate put his hands into the pockets of his coat and felt the key, but he still hesitated. Finally, he simply went out to call Kang Ruicheng.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Zhou called, “Mumu.”

Mumu instantly put on an obedient expression and pounced on Aunt Zhou. “Granny Zhou.”

Tang Yulan looked at the little boy who suddenly appeared and guessed that he was Kang Ruicheng’s son that Aunt Zhou had mentioned. She thought that this little boy was not like Kang Ruicheng.

At this time, Mumu suddenly said to Tang Yulan, “Granny Tang, you need to pretend to know me, and I will protect you.”

“…”

Tang Yulan was a little surprised, and she did not know how to reply to Mumu for a while.

After she and Aunt Zhou were trapped here, she vaguely heard Aunt Zhou mention this kid. She knew that Youning and Jian’an both liked this kid very much.

However, why did this five-year-old kid said that he would protect her for no reason?

“I know you’re the babies’ grandmother.” Mumu said in a low voice, “I promised Auntie Youning and the babies that I would protect you, so don’t be afraid.”

“Yulan.” Aunt Zhou also said in a low voice. “Those people seem to be very afraid of Mumu. Just listen to him.”

Tang Yulan nodded, but she still put on a look of surprise on her face.

Mumu continued, “Granny Tang, you just need to remember that you saw and knew me like Granny Zhou, and I will be able to protect you. Don’t let my daddy see that this is our first meeting!”

“Okay.” Tang Yulan smiled and asked, “Did you see the babies when you came back today? Are they obedient?”

Mumu nodded. “They were very obedient today. They didn’t cry. But they used to be disobedient and keep crying…”

Tang Yulan watched Mumu’s innocent look and could not help smiling.

She seemed to understand why Jian’an and Youning liked this child.

At this time, the subordinate finished the call and came back. He observed that Mumu was indeed very familiar with the two old ladies.

Mumu put on an unhappy look again. He stared at the unlucky subordinate and said, “Help to uncuff Granny Zhou and Granny Tang.”
