Chapter 1460 Deserve to Die
Lin Yehan faced the raging Long Hui. His tone sounded calm, yet those who knew him noticed the unmistakable fear and worry laced in his voice.
"I admit that it is my negligence for not ensuring Little Jun's safety," he said.
"Yehan—" Jiang Ying Yue tried to stop him. She didn't want him to blame himself.
If he wanted to blame himself, then they were both at fault. As a mother, she wasn't even able to protect her own son.
Of course, the guilt caused her to blame herself for not protecting her son against the kidnappers, especially since she was a trained protector. It was literally her job. However, the rational part of herself knew that it was neither her nor her husband's fault. Nobody expected something horrific like this to happen.
"I'm fine," Lin Yehan assured her before facing the restrained Long Hui again. "I'll do everything in my power to rescue Little Jun."
"Damn you!" Long Hui wanted to attack him again but the police officers wouldn't allow him. They restrained him even more.
Only a couple of policemen noticed Iris leaving the commotion and meeting with the newly arrived Dom. The two moved out of the living room and found an empty room nearby. Those who noticed their movements didn't think too much, thinking that the two must be too distraught to stay in such a tense room and needed a quiet place to calm down.
Dom closed the door of the empty room and handed Iris a thin laptop. "Here you go, boss. Please find Little Junie boy."
His eyes and nose were red. It was clear that he had been crying upon learning what happened to the child but was still professional and dependable to follow Iris' instructions.
"Thanks, Dom." Iris took the laptop and set it up. "Guard the door. Don't let anyone come inside. Wait for my husband to come and let him in."
"Roger, boss!"
Her fingers flew over her laptop's keyboard. In just a few moments, she locked on her godson's location.
The kidnappers were quite smart and thorough. They found someone to hack the public surveillance cameras and deleted the video footage containing Little Jun's kidnapping.
They also tossed the little smartwatch that Iris customized for her godson. Even his clothes, shoes, and accessories were swapped in order to avoid trackers.
Lu Zihao's men had already found the discarded smartwatch, shoes, and clothes in a secluded wooded area a few miles away.
Retrieving the surveillance video footage was easy for Iris and her cat AI children. Ketchup was already working on it.
In the meantime, Iris worked on locating Little Jun.
Bacon had already alerted his Uncle Zihao as soon as they discovered that Little Jun had been kidnapped.
Lu Zihao then promptly dispatched Shadow Winds to help in the rescue mission. The police had no idea that a criminal organization was secretly working with them on this kidnapping rescue case.
The door opened and in came Jin Liwei.
Iris glanced at him before continuing to focus on her laptop.
Jin Liwei gave her a quick peck on the cheek before using his phone to contact his various connections to help with their godson's rescue.
The couple had a tacit understanding of doing what they could do in order to find their godson. Both of them were frightened, but they couldn't falter.
Every second that they hadn't found the child was every second the danger to Little Jun's life increased. They couldn't afford to waste any of their time talking to each other.
It was better to focus their energy on utilizing their abilities to the fullest. Iris on her hacking skills and Jin Liwei on his wealth of connections.
Jin Liwei didn't forget to inform the Chief of Police about the case. Although they weren't considered close friends, they were still close acquaintances because the Chief's wife was one of Iris' biggest loyal fans, Si Xinyue, also known as JJNumber1Fan.
To please his celebrity-chasing wife, the Police Chief would move mountains for Iris Long. This time was no exception.
Upon learning that Iris and Jin Liwei's godson had been kidnapped, the Chief quickly dispatched a special force whose expertise was on urgently rescuing kidnapped victims to help with the case.
Ketchup was the first one to complete her task. She restored the deleted footage from the public surveillance system.
When Iris and Jin Liwei watched the video, both wanted to murder the kidnappers.
The first thing the kidnappers did was shoot Gravy, Little Jun's German Shepherd guard dog. Iris and Jin Liwei suspected that the dog had been drugged because it moved in an odd, woozy way. Even so, the dog still did its best to protect Little Jun despite bleeding all over the place.
Gravy locked his jaw on one of the kidnappers and refused to let go. His head was repeatedly hit by the butt of a gun. It was difficult to watch the kidnappers beating up the dog. Little Jun was hysterical as he also tried protecting his dog but he, too, was slapped to the ground.
Iris' eyes turned red but she didn't let the tears fall. "Liwei, we must make them pay!"
Jin Liwei clenched his jaw, his eyes blazing. "Of course."
Finally, Gravy lost consciousness. Then the kidnappers swooped in. They covered Little Jun's nose and mouth with a drugged handkerchief until the child fainted.
One carried Little Jun while another grabbed the bleeding Gravy before throwing both in a waiting getaway car.
The rough way the kidnappers treated the child and dog was too much for both Iris and Jin Liwei. They wished that they could beat up the kidnappers into a pulp with their own hands.
How dare those bastards treat their beloved godson that way?
They deserved to die a thousand painful deaths!
There was additional video footage that Ketchup restored. It was the kidnappers stopping by a secluded rural road and tossing the bleeding dog to the fields out of the car like trash before driving away with the child whose clothing had already been swapped.
Iris grabbed her husband's hand. "Liwei, retrieve Gravy."
She handed the video evidence for him to handle. Jin Liwei didn't waste any more time.
