Chapter 525 - His Most Beloved Baby
"Well if you're bored, why doesn't Daddy tell you a story?"
Huo Yunshen had brought a storybook in advance and showed it to the child. Ying Bao's eyes lit up at the beautiful picture book. She said excitedly, "Okay! Baby wants to listen to Daddy's story."
Huo Yunshen proceeded to tell a story to the child as Xu Xiyan quietly sat beside them.
Seeing that both father and daughter were getting along well, Xu Xiyan felt very grateful. She hoped that they could be safe and happy every single day in the future.
…
In a dark basement, the wounded kidnapper knelt on the ground, his hands bound.
Ye Xun and Yi Xiao came over with some men, approaching the criminal. Ye Xun raised his pistol, aiming it in between the cold-faced man's eyebrows.
"Speak! Who do you work for?"
No matter how much he asked, the cold-faced man refused to budge and remained indifferent.
Since he was not speaking up, there was no need for manners. Ye Xun clenched his first and delivered a hard and ruthless punch to the cold-faced man.
Despite being beaten up, with bruises all over his face and a bloody mouth, the man still refused to talk.
Ye Xun still had other ways to deal with such a stubborn criminal. He went up to him and stepped on the back of the man's leg.
He stepped hard on his leg and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the man's temple. He said through gritted teeth, "If you won't talk, I'll kill you!"
The face of the criminal contorted at the pain. "Don't kill me... Please don't kill me... don't shoot..."
As Ye Xun slightly lifted the muzzle of the gun, the cunning man took the chance to shove Ye Xun away with his shoulder, trying to escape.
How could he escape just like that?
Yi Xiao and the others, who were outside the door, stopped him and kicked him back inside before beating him up madly.
"Don't beat me... Don't beat me... I'll talk..."
The man proceeded to explain his reason for abducting the child, blood spilling from his mouth as he spoke.
Even if he had confessed, it didn't mean that he got to live. What he and his partner had done was really cruel.
Ye Xun lowered the muzzle of the gun back toward him. He fired several shots at the criminal's legs, arms and his heart.
The cold-faced man instantly fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. His body twitched a few times before he died on the spot with his eyes wide open.
Death by gunshot was simply too lenient. Ye Xun resented that he could not slice him into million pieces and obliterate his existence.
Who had told him to harm his most beloved baby?
…
On the second day of Ying Bao's hospitalization, Ye Xun came to the ward to visit the little girl.
"Daughter, are you feeling better now?" Ye Xun asked as he stroked the little girl's head lovingly.
Ying Bao lifted her little face at him and responded obediently, "Baby is already well!"
"That's great. What a good girl."
Ye Xun reached out to squeeze the child's cheek. Ying Bao noticed the gauze bandage around his hand and asked, "Uncle Tree-Leaf, what happened to your hand?"
He had gotten the injury on the back of his hand when he punched the wall two days before. Ye Xun withdrew his hand, smiled and told her, "It's nothing. It's just a little injury."
Ying Bao furrowed her little brow, and said, with frustration in her voice, "How could you get injured, Uncle Tree-Leaf? You're already a big adult but you're still worrying. Sigh…"
The child spoke just like an adult. Everyone in the ward was amused by her words and laughed out loud.
Ye Xun held the child's hand in his, stroking it as he thought gratefully:
Fortunately, Ying Bao was saved. How boring would our lives be without this happy little bean?
Just then, while Ye Xun was keeping Ying Bao company, someone barged into the ward.
Just by listening to the hasty clatter of footsteps, he could already guess who had come.
