Chapter 875 - Be Missing and Be in Trouble (2)

Su Jian'an picked up the phone nervously and asked hopefully, "Yunyun, can you get in touch with Aunt Zhou?"

"Cousin, I was about to ask you this question." Xiao Yunyun said in puzzlement, "I dialed the number you gave me but no one answered the phone. Is this number wrong?"

Su Jian'an was very sure that the number she sent to Xiao Yunyun was Aunt Zhou's.

Yunyun lost contact with Aunt Zhou, too.

Aunt Zhou neither picked up the phone nor went home…

Xu Youning's suspicion was very likely to be true.

Su Jian'an calmed herself down first and said, "Yunyun, come back with Mumu immediately. And ask Yuechuan to send more people to protect you two. Be careful on the way."

Xiao Yunyun noticed that something unusual happened, and she was obviously flustered. "Okay… I… I know…" said she.

"Don't be afraid," Su Jian'an comforted her. "I'm going to find your cousin-in-law now. We'll send someone to pick Mumu and you up."

Xiao Yunyun calmed down a lot and answered, "Okay."

When Su Jian'an hung up the phone and turned her head, she found Xu Youning's hand was trembling.

She knew what Xu Youning was afraid of, so she tried to comfort her, saying "Don't worry. Maybe there's something wrong with Aunt Zhou's mobile phone. Let's go find Sijue and Boyan first."

Only Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue knew how to deal with this situation. Asking them for help was the best choice.

Luo Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on. She asked in a daze, "Jian'an, what happened? What's wrong with Aunt Zhou?"

"I'm not sure yet." Su Jian'an didn't want to make Luo Xiaoxi anxious, but her tone revealed her uneasy mood. "Xiaoxi, you stay here. Youning and I will go to the club," added she.

Su Jian'an and Xu Youning almost rushed into the club. The manager told them that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were in the meeting room.

Without knocking on the door, Su Jian'an ran straight to the induction area. The automatic door rang and opened.

She went straight in with Xu Youning.

There were some other people in the conference room. They all looked at Su Jian'an and Xu Youning in amazement as the two girls' sudden intruding puzzled them.

However, Su Jian'an never did anything inexplicable, unless… something was wrong.

"Sorry, we need a pause."

Saying this, Lu Boyan got up, took Su Jian'an's hand, and pulled her out. Mu Sijue was in step with him. As the four people went out of the conference room, and the automatic door behind them slowly closed.

"Boyan," Su Jian'an grabbed Lu Boyan's hand and said, "Aunt Zhou went to buy some food, but we can't get in touch with her now."

Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and asked tensely, "What's going on?"

"I don't know…" Xu Youning's voice showed an unprecedented daze. "I went back from Jian'an home and found Aunt Zhou hadn't come back yet. So I called her, but… Aunt Zhou didn't answer the phone."

Mu Sijue frowned involuntarily. He asked one of his subordinates coldly, "Who drove Aunt Zhou to the market?"

"Generally, it will be A Wen and A Wu." Then the man quickly reacted and said, "I'll contact them."

He called them several times, but no one answered.

Hanging up the phone, he looked at Mu Sijue anxiously and said, "Seventh Brother, something… might happen."

Xu Youning's face suddenly turned pale. She snatched Mu Sijue's phone.

Her grandma had passed away because of her. So she couldn't let anyone get hurt because of her again.

Mu Sijue grasped Xu Youning's hand and asked, "Who are you calling?"

"Kang Ruicheng!" Xu Youning's tone was calm and firm. "I'll ask him to let go of Aunt Zhou!"

Mu Sijue wrested back his phone and said with a tough attitude, "I'll deal with it. I'll contact Kang Ruicheng after we figure everything out. You don't have to be involved in!"

He was afraid that Xu Youning would vacillate.

"There's no need to investigate!" Xu Youning raised her voice. "Kang Ruicheng found Aunt Zhou and kidnapped her when she was not at the top of the mountain! Kang Ruicheng is much crueler than you think. You don't know how he will treat Aunt Zhou!"

"Anyway, I'll deal with it!" Mu Sijue said, "I know what Kang Ruicheng wants better than you do!"

Kang Ruicheng wanted no more than Xu Youning and Mumu.

Once Xu Youning contacted Kang Ruicheng, he would definitely tell her that as long as she went back, Aunt Zhou could come back safely.

In this way, Xu Youning would certainly vacillate.

However, how could Mu Sijue let Xu Youning go back?

Mu Sijue was in a dilemma.

Kang Ruicheng must have investigated Aunt Zhou and knew how important she was to him, so he kidnapped her at this critical moment.

Next, Kang Ruicheng would propose to swap Xu Youning and Mumu for Aunt Zhou.

Otherwise, he would torture Aunt Zhou with the most brutal tools.

However, how could Mu Sijue let Aunt Zhou get hurt?

For him, Aunt Zhou was no different from his biological mother. She was as important as Xu Youning, but Kang Ruicheng forced him to choose one from them.

Kang Ruicheng seized Mu Sijue's weakness—he not only planned to take Xu Youning back but also wanted to plunge Mu Sijue into distress.

Su Jian'an also realized Kang Ruicheng's purpose.

But on second thought, she felt that something was wrong and said a "Hmm" softly.

Noticing Su Jian'an's confusion, Lu Boyan asked softly, "What's wrong?"

It seemed like something dawned on Su Jian'an. She grabbed Lu Boyan's sleeve and looked at him in horror.

Lu Boyan frowned slightly, saying. "Jian'an?"

Su Jian'an tried her best to remain calm and said, "Kang Ruicheng has already known that Mumu is here. Then why does he kidnap Aunt Zhou? Isn't he afraid that we will threaten him with Mumu? Besides, we won't hurt Mumu. Assume that he kidnaps Aunt Zhou just to make us send Mumu back earlier, which we will do sooner or later, then he is no more than beating a dead horse. That means Kang Ruicheng's real goal should be Youning. If he swaps Aunt Zhou for Mumu, how could he get Youning?"

Those who were not familiar with Kang Ruicheng might think that his goal was just Mumu.

However, Su Jian'an could tell that Kang Ruicheng would not rest content with bringing Mumu back only after forbearing and planning for such a long time.

If her guess was right, then Kang Ruicheng needed another bargaining chip.

Moreover, the second chip would have sheer weight. It would be either Mu Sijue's relative or a person who could put Mu Sijue in a dilemma.

There was one person who met these conditions—Tang Yulan.

When moved to the top of the mountain with Su Jian'an, Lu Boyan had thought of taking Tang Yulan over for a short stay. He even asked Su Jian'an to persuade her.

However, it didn't work.

The old lady said that she was used to living in Orchid Gardens. Only in the old house could she sleep well and live a peaceful life—this was also the reason why she was unwilling to move to Dingya Villas even if Xiyu and Xiangyi were born.

Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan had hidden in the United States for more than ten years. After coming back, they found City A had undergone great changes. Where Lu Boyan's father had once become a skyscraper, leaving no mark of the past.

Apart from the old house in Orchid Gardens, she could not find the trace of Lu Boyan's father in a second place.

In addition, since Su Yunjin had moved to Switzerland, she could take care of Shen Yuechuan if she lived in Orchid Gardens.

However, Tang Yulan did not completely disregard her own safety. If the tension between Kang Ruicheng and Lu Boyan mounted to the top, she would move to the top of the mountain so as not to give Kang Ruicheng any chance to threaten Lu Boyan with her.

Lu Boyan thought that Shen Yuechuan really needed an elder to take care of him. As long as he took full precautions and sent enough guardians, she would be safe.

He was sure that his security guards were strong enough to protect Tang Yulan.

Besides, Kang Ruicheng had been quiet during this period, so Lu Boyan did not ask Tang Yulan to move in anymore.

He thought Kang Ruicheng would probably not have any moves for a while after he sent Mumu back today.

However, he was completely wrong. Kang Ruicheng had already aimed at Tang Yulan.

Lu Boyan took out his mobile phone and called Tang Yulan, but no one answered.

His face darkened. He hung up and wanted to call the bodyguard captain. Before he dialed, the captain called him.

"Mr. Lu, Old Madam is in trouble!" the captain said anxiously.

These words chilled Lu Boyan. He shouted, "Tell me what happened!"

The captain answered, "Old Madam came to Mrs. Tang's place today to play cards. We had been watching aside and nothing happened. Later, a Mrs. Zhong asked Old Madam to go out. Old Madam didn't allow us to follow, so we could only let her go first. Less than half a minute later when we followed up, we found she had been taken away by Kang Ruicheng's subordinates, I think."

Fifteen years ago, Kang Ruicheng wanted to kill Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan, so Tang Yulan had to flee to the United States with Lu Boyan.

Before moving the headquarter of Lu Enterprises back to City A, Lu Boyan had warned himself not to give Kang Ruicheng any chance to hurt his family.

The harm that Kang Ruicheng had inflicted on Tang Yulan could not be eliminated in her whole life.

But now, she was caught by Kang Ruicheng's again, which would remind her of these nightmares.

"Mr. Lu," The captain continued, "We just lost track of them. They were well prepared and were trying to stop us all the way. I don't know where they will take Old Madam to."

Lu Boyan hung up the phone and dialed another number. He ordered coldly, "Call everyone back to City A."

Su Jian'an felt that a disaster was imminent. She grabbed Lu Boyan's hand, asking, "What happened to mom?"

Lu Boyan kissed her forehead and said. "Don't worry, I will deal with it. You just stay here and take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi."

The old lady was really in danger.

Su Jian'an's eyes became red. "I'm afraid…"

She didn't know much about Kang Ruicheng, but she knew how cruel he was.

Tang Yulan and Aunt Zhou were getting old, but Kang Ruicheng would not care about their ages. He would definitely vent his anger on the two old people so as to threaten Mu Sijue and Boyan…
