Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 461
Chapter 461: 460 accompanying you
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhang Ergou beside her and calmly said, “I don’t know where it is either, don’t worry about me. Save the child first.”
“Whose child is it?”
Gu Kai did not readily agree, but calmly counter-questioned.
Zhang Ergou had already untied Bai Xiaoxiao’s ropes. Hearing Gu Kai’s question, his face changed. He snatched Bai Xiaoxiao’s phone from her hand and pleaded, “Doctor Gu, that’s my son. Please, you must save him. I will bring Bai Xiaoxiao back right now.”
“You? The one who kidnapped Xiaoxiao? Where are you now? Why should I trust you?”
Gu Kai’s tone suddenly became stern. Even from the other side of the phone, Zhang Ergou felt a shudder. Without thinking, he blurted out his current address.
“Fine, I will arrange for your son’s surgery immediately. But if you dare to play any tricks, be careful about your son.”
Gu Kai threatened coldly. Within a few words, Zhang Ergou dare not play any tricks and hurriedly assured him that he would bring Bai Xiaoxiao back immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Kai let out a long breath, said to Luo Haofeng beside him, “Ah Feng, let’s drive. Zhang Ergou shouldn’t dare to do anything, but we should go pick up Xiaoxiao now. Even though he has promised, we can’t rule out the occurrence of other situations.”
Luo Haofeng nodded, the usually smiling face was now cold and stern, his eyes were deep, and his whole demeanor was much different than usual.
“Zhang Ergou was just momentarily confused. Once he comes to his senses, he will realize that he was tricked.”
The black Porsche sped through the night. Although Zhang Ergou had been temporarily fooled, Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng weren’t elated. After all, the situation was too coincidental. As long as Zhang Ergou wasn’t a fool, he would regain his senses at some point.
What they could do was to arrive at their destination as quickly as possible and rescue Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Call Ah Mu and let him know.”
Luo Haofeng focused on the road ahead. It was dark, but traffic was sparse. They should be able to save some time.
“Alright, I’ll call Ah Mu. Maybe he can lend us a hand. He keeps a low profile, but he has a wide range of acquaintances.”
Gu Kai slightly curved his lips and dialed Qin Mu’s number.
After his call with Qin Mu, Lu Zhiyan called. He had left Zhang Ergou’s wife and child with two officers and was on his way with others. He assigned the task of picking up Bai Xiaoxiao to them. He had already contacted the local police to arrest Xiao Wenqing.
Saving Bai Xiaoxiao was a top priority, but this was too good an opportunity to miss for capturing Xiao Wenqing.
After his call with Gu Kai, Qin Mu also made arrangements. Just as Gu Kai had said, despite his low profile, he had a wide range of connections.
After finishing his call, he quickly got dressed, grabbed his car keys, and headed out. He also drove towards the location that Gu Kai had mentioned.
No matter whether his help was needed or not, an extra pair of hands could never hurt.
On the plane, Wen Ran awoke from her dreams and couldn’t fall back asleep.
Mo Xiuchen held her, comforting her softly. Seeing that her mood had stabilized, the two just nestled quietly together without speaking.
Time passed by, minute by minute. Wen Ran’s heart was as unsettled as she was, floating thousands of feet above the ground, with no landing in sight.
“Ranran, it’s only five o’clock. Close your eyes and rest a little more.”
Mo Xiuchen couldn’t help it and suggested with a pang of distress.
“I’m not tired, you should sleep.”
Wen Ran shook her head gently. She was afraid that if she fell asleep again, she’d have the same awful dream. Since realizing her childhood nightmares were real, she had developed an aversion to dreaming.
Especially bad dreams, she was scared.
Scared that such dreams would really come true.
A deep sense of distress lingered in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. He softly said, “Then I shall keep you company. You can sleep whenever you feel sleepy.”
“Okay.”
Wen Ran nodded lightly.
G City,
It was five o’clock and dawn was breaking.
The darkness was being gradually replaced by light. Dim as it was, it still brought hope.
When a vehicle appeared ahead, Gu Kai’s eyes lit up, “Ah Feng, is that Xiaoxiao’s car?”
Luo Haofeng’s grip tightened on the steering wheel.
His peach blossom eyes narrowed as he honked at the car ahead. Gu Kai simultaneously dialed the number from earlier.
Two minutes later,
Both cars had pulled over.
Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng jumped out of their car one after another. The door of the other car’s cab also opened. A man in his thirties got out and went to open the back door.
By the time he opened the car door, Luo Haofeng was already there.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Bai Xiaoxiao inside. Emotions welled up in his heart. He pushed Zhang Ergou aside and called out to the woman in the car, “Xiaoxiao!”
Zhang Ergou nearly fell when he was pushed aside. He retreated two steps to steady himself. He glanced at Luo Haofeng then at Gu Kai and said stiffly, “I have brought her to you, now what about my son’s surgery…”
“Your son isn’t sick at all. He is doing really well.”
Gu Kai glanced at Luo Haofeng at the front of the car and replied dryly to Zhang Ergou.
Zhang Ergou’s face changed as he finally reacted, “You tricked me?”
Gu Kai sneered cooly, and slowly approached, “We didn’t trick you. We saved you. Xiao Wenqing and your other accomplice have been arrested.”
Once again, Zhang Ergou’s face changed color. He stared at Gu Kai for a few seconds, then finally believed his words. He turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao in the car.
Luo Haofeng’s tall figure blocked his view, he couldn’t see Bai Xiaoxiao and didn’t dare to say anything.
He looked down castingly for a moment, standing aside.
“Xiaoxiao, are you hurt?”
At the front of the car, Luo Haofeng bent over.
He reached out and took Bai Xiaoxiao from the car. Familiar scent filled his nostrils, his heart was reassured. His eyes were fixed on her.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head. All her fear vanished the moment she saw them.
She was in Luo Haofeng’s arms, surrounded by his refreshing and pleasant scent. Looking at his eyes full of concern, a chord was struck deep inside her heart.
A feeling beyond words spread all over her heart.
“What happened to your forehead?”
After checking her thoroughly, Luo Haofeng focused his sight on her forehead.
“Ah Feng, take Xiaoxiao to the car first. We’ll discuss the rest later.”
Gu Kai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, apart from a bump on her forehead, her hair being slightly messy, and her clothes wrinkled and disheveled, he couldn’t see any other injuries for now.
But after such an ordeal, her leg needed to be checked.
Luo Haofeng agreed and didn’t delay any longer. He quickly went to his car, opened the back door, put Bai Xiaoxiao on the backseat, and was about to close the car door when Gu Kai’s voice rang out, “You get in the back, I’ll drive.”
