After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Actually, the Richest Man Has Two Sons~

“Uh, about that… Let’s talk later,” Fan YuKe stammered, dialing a number on his phone.

About five minutes later, Fan YuKe got a response from Shengshi Group, his face turned pale, “No, people from the group said they haven’t seen Ningning. What about Chen Bao? Could it be that Chen Bao took Ningning out to play…”

“That’s impossible, Chen Bao went to the bank with Mommy Zhuo to withdraw money today. He wouldn’t have had time to take Ningning out to play.” Ning Yichu panicked, his voice hoarse, but even though he knew it was unlikely, he instinctively dialed Chen Bao’s number.

When Chen Bao found out his sister was missing, he became extremely tense, “She didn’t come to find me! I’m going to locate her phone right now!”

Chen Bao found the nearest internet cafe, quickly logged on, went through a series of operations, but the final location indicated that Ningning’s phone had been turned off.

The last location captured by the cell tower was on the highway in the suburbs!

And from there, it was already 10 kilometers away from the park where Aunt Wang had taken her to play!

Upon hearing this, Ning Yichu almost collapsed to the ground…

Without a doubt, Ningning had been kidnapped. Otherwise, how could she possibly have gone so far?

“It’s all my fault, I’m to blame; it must have been when I took her to the child star audition that the bad people targeted her.” Fan YuKe covered his face and sobbed, stomping his feet, completely distraught.

“What child star audition?” Ning Yichu asked urgently.

Fan YuKe briefly explained the situation, and Ning Yichu felt a darkness before his eyes. However, seeing Fan YuKe crying so heartbrokenly, he couldn’t bring himself to blame him any further and tried his best to remain calm.

“If the kidnappers really took her because of the child star audition, then it must be for money! If I just wait patiently, I’m sure to receive a ransom call from the kidnappers…”

“Then I’ll go prepare the money right now. Whoooo, Ningning must come to no harm…”

Hearing the crying of the two women over the phone, Brother Chen Bao felt something was wrong. He also knew about that audition, but the results hadn’t been announced yet, so how could the kidnappers be sure that Ningning definitely had access to money?

But voicing these speculations would only make Mommy worry unnecessarily, so the little guy silently closed his mouth.

He wasn’t one to just sit around and wait to die; he eventually made a significant decision—

He was going to rescue his sister!

…

In a desolate suburban abandoned factory, the air was filled with a musty smell, and the ground littered with various broken porcelain pieces.

A large truck was parked outside the factory, and two burly men came down from the truck, holding a little glutinous rice dumpling; it was indeed the missing Ningning.

“Whoooo, you’ve got the wrong person, I have no money…” Ningning pleaded with large, tearful eyes, her voice choked with sobs. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she was in a mess.

The kidnappers, listening to her sobbing, harshly warned, “Shut up, no crying!”

“Whooo…” Ningning hiccuped, struggling to stifle her sobs and sniffling miserably.

The kidnappers threw her into a corner of the abandoned factory. Suddenly, Ningning screamed, “Wow, there are rats! Ningning is most afraid of rats, whoo, I want to go home, I want to find Mommy… Uncle, please let me go…”

The kidnappers, annoyed by her noise, glared at her fiercely, “Cry again, and I’ll cut off your tongue!”

“Whooo…” Ningning realized that they weren’t budging, so she gave up acting foolish and just looked up at them with big, tear-filled eyes.

“Enough, Number Two, why bother arguing with a little kid? Go, get on with the important business,” the other man, his face scarred, scowled at the other, then approached Ningning pretending to be gentle.

The man’s shape cast a huge shadow in front of Ningning, like the big bad wolf enticing Little Red Riding Hood.

“Little sister, I heard you know the son of the wealthy Li Lingyang. Is that true?”

Ningning’s crying suddenly tightened, and she looked up confused, “Ah? The son of the wealthy Li Lingyang… Chengcheng? I know him, but we’re not close. Uncle, what do you want to do?”

“Not that son, the other son, the one who looks a lot like the tycoon,” the scar-faced man said with a wicked smile, pulling a photo from his bag.

The photo was a miniaturized version of Li Lingyang, bearing a striking resemblance to Chen Bao.

A chill sank in Ningning’s heart—these people’s purpose in kidnapping her was actually Chen Bao!

Was it their deadbeat dad who had been searching for Brother Chen Bao?

No!

Her deadbeat dad had no idea she knew him, let alone that she had been abducted here!

“Uncle, the child you mentioned, I think I’ve really seen him before, but I can’t remember where. Could you tell me what you need him for?” Ningning blinked her big eyes innocently.

The scar-faced man was smirking as he suddenly pulled out a dagger from nowhere and waved it in front of Ningning.

The blade’s cold light glinted menacingly in front of Ningning’s big eyes.

“Kid, does this help you remember?”

“Wuwuwu, keep the knife farther away, I get even more scared when I see the knife, and I can’t remember anything…” Although Ningning was terrified, she still tried to maintain her innocent facade, as this was the only way the kidnappers wouldn’t be wary of her and she might have a chance to escape, yet numerous scenes of murder flashed through her mind.

Why was she so unlucky, huh!

“I’m asking you, what’s the little boy’s contact number?” the scar-faced man moved the knife away a bit but still asked menacingly.

Ningning’s big eyes darted around, just thinking about whether to give them her mommy’s number, when another man sinisterly said, “Big bro, the employer said this little girl is quite cunning, no guarantee she won’t fool us. Time is precious, I think we should beat her first; if she’s in pain, she’ll tell us everything.”

Ningning, “…Please don’t hit Ningning, Ningning will tell, Ningning will tell everything…”

She recited a string of numbers; the kidnapper dialed, and indeed, a child’s voice answered.

The kidnapper immediately muted the call and instructed Ningning to trick Chen Bao into coming.

“Ningning?” When Chen Bao answered, he immediately tried to trace the number. “Where are you? Granny Wang can’t find you, she’s worried sick.”

“Wuwuwuwu…” Ningning also cried frantically, stalling for time.

Only when the kidnapper threatened her with his fist did she slowly say, “I… I got on the wrong bus, and now I’m near the East City Wan’an Bus Station, can you come pick me up?”

Chen Bao quickly located the spot on the map; it was only three kilometers away from where Ningning had last disappeared.

He feigned hesitation, “But I’m occupied right now, why don’t you go find a police officer, tell them your address, and they can take you home.”

The scar-faced man, hearing Chen Bao wasn’t tricked, immediately glared furiously at Ningning.

It was then Ningning pretended to say, “Ah, I fell and now my foot hurts so much, I can’t walk to the police station! Brother, come over, please, I just passed two big bad guys, one with a scarred face and another with short legs, they were glaring at me so menacingly, I’m so scared…”

Chen Bao caught the cues Ningning was giving, instantly understood, and as he nearly finished tracking her location, he said, “Alright then, don’t wander off, I’ll be right there.”

Click, upon agreeing to come, the kidnappers immediately cut off the communication.

The call ended.

Chen Bao stroked his chin, deep in thought.

If the kidnappers were after a child star audition, having Ningning already, why lure him there?

Unless…

Their real target was actually him!
