Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Shufen, what are you saying? Qinrou is now in our clutches. She would never dare to pull such audacity." Qi Shuai was frightenedly stunned for a moment. Shaking his head to deny his assumption, he spoke.

But even on his say like that Shufen's expression didn't change. It looked like he had drawn his own conclusions in his thoughts and was too confident over them.

When Qi Shuai looked at him like that, he couldn't help but frown. Not understanding what was going on in his plans, he couldn't help but ask, "So, are you going to let them kill your family?"

Feng Shufen turned to glower at him. "Do you think I will let that happen?"

Qi Shuai sighed. "Definitely not, Shufen. I know you would not but this silence of yours will kill you inside. If you are feeling an emotion, why don't you let it out? Do you think the situation is not enough to suffocate you? Why are you keeping your anger inside to suffocate you?"

"..." Feng Shufen didn't speak, but given the slight change in his expressions, Qi Shuai was relieved to know that his words did work. But he didn't probe more for greater results.

Instead, he asked, "So, now what? What are the further plans? How are we going to search for them?"

"Ask the men in the shadows." Feng Shufen said while his fingers worked on his phone. Qi Shuai had almost forgotten it before but now that Shufen had mentioned it, he felt like he was worried about it uselessly.

Since Li Xue had a batch of shadow bodyguards around her. She must be safe wherever she went and at the same time, they would know her location as long as they call and ask one of the men. And since they can know her location, it wouldn't be tough to reach her.

"Exactly! How can I forget about them? Give me a moment, I will call them to ask where they are?"  He said and was about to pull his phone to make a call when Feng Shufen interrupted him.

"There will be no need. They have been diverted already."

He said and his words stunned him. Leaning forward, he peeked into his phone, only to find him checking the maps with several pointers standing at the dead ends. "Are these the location pointers of our men? Did you break into our system to check their location?"

Feng Shufen didn't say anything but Qi Shuai could tell his assumption regarding it was not wrong. Still, he said, "I think there is a problem. Let me give one of them a call and ask." He said while he saw Shufen typing a series of codes fervently on his phone. Although it was hard to tell what he was typing, he could tell that he was on the course of hacking yet another system.

The moment the call got connected, he asked the person on the other end about the whereabouts of Li Xue, only to get stunned to know that truly, the woman had tricked the people before making them lose her track. "How is that possible? She didn't know that you all have been following her in the shadows. Then how did she dupe you all?"

"Director Qi, we don't know ourselves. We have been following the Range Rover since it left the forest. But after driving to one of the bustling parts of the city the car stopped at a crowded bar. Madam got out of the car and went to the bar. Few of us stood out waiting for her while two of us followed her inside. The men who followed her in said that she went into the ladies' room but even after standing out of the washroom, she didn't come out. When we went in to check, there was no one inside. Even the Range Rover was gone. We lost her and no matter where we looked, we were not able to find her. Currently, we have spread out but just now we received the message that we are all at the dead ends."

Qi Shuai couldn't help but end the call in the end. It was as he had seen on the map. "Shufen, it was her duping the boys. How could they tell? She went to the loo and never came out."

"She came out." Feng Shufen said and Qi Shuai frowned at him before following the video on his phone. It played Li Xue walking in the washroom in her exquisite gown and then after a few moments a mysteriously dressed man coming out from the adjacent men's loo. "Do you mean that's her? Did the kidnapper plan it all? How did he come to know about the shadow bodyguards? Not everyone knows the Feng family has shadow guards?"

Feng's family security was very strict and discreet. And that was the reason why many people had no idea about it. Not even the close family knew all of it.

Right then Qi Shuai's phone rang and he looked at the call with a frown before picking it up without ignoring. "What? You mean to say Zhen Qinrou confessed it was her?" He asked and looked in the way of Shufen and then added to ask, "Did she tell who it was?"

He asked before pulling the phone to put on the loudspeaker. And just then the voice from the other side was heard. "Yes, sir. She has revealed it."

"Who is it then?" He asked as both of the men waited to hear and the next moment heard the name that was within their expectations but not in surety

"Sir, she said it was Ms. Zhang of the Zhang family. After she took that name, we tried to ask her more but even to our extreme torture she said she doesn't have any knowledge of the other party's plans."

They heard as Qi Shuai lifted up his gaze to match Feng Shufen's frostier ones.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaotong brought Little WeiWei with her while she left Li Xue to come along with her men. As she carried the little one all the way into the warehouse in her arms, she put her down on the chair before dusting herself off.

Lillian was also tied up in the same warehouse so when she heard the rattling sound around, she opened her eyes to check only to see a little one sitting and trembling on the chair while Zhang Xiaotong looked down at her grudgingly.

It was not her first-time seeing Li Wei, so just a small sight of her was enough to make her recognize her. But what she failed to understand was Zhang Xiaotong's plans.

"Xiaotong, what are you doing? Why did you bring her here? Did her parents know? She is a child and the darkness here might scare her."

When Little Weiwei heard her voice, she turned to look at her. Suddenly the trembling stopped. Since it was darkness around, it was hard for Lillian to read the little one's expression, she still heard her say.

"Sister, although WeiWei is a child, she is not scared of darkness. Mama says I am an angel who is full of light. So, there is no need for me to get scared of darkness. Don't get worried for me and if you are scared of darkness, don't fear it now since I am here. I am an angel and I would save you." She said, and at her innocent words like that Lillian's heart melted right away.

Although she has been physically and emotionally in pain all these days after being kept captive here, her lips are smiling for once. She looked her way and nodded. "I will not be scared anymore/ Also you don't get scared. Let me talk to the other sister and then she will drop you off at your place, okay?"

Little Wei Wei at once shook her head. "No, no, Sister, don't ask her. She is bad. She hurt our maid with a big rod before bringing me here. She didn't even apologize to her. Don't ask her. She will also hit you." She said and Lillian could clearly hear the fear in the voice of the little girl.

It must be disturbing for her to see Zhang Xiaotong do that. She couldn't imagine.

"Don't worry, little one. Sister will be fine. Let me talk to her and stay silent for a while, okay?" She said before finally seeing the little one nod. Then looking up to Zhang Xiaotong, she blamed,

"Xiaotong, did you hear? What have you done? How can you traumatize a child? And why the hell have you brought her here like this?"

Zhang Xiaotong couldn't help but chuckle at her assistant's nosiness. "Lillian, even though you have remained by my side for so many years, I never knew you have such a soft corner in your heart for children. Would you also be this pampering to the child I would give birth to?"

"Xiaotong, what are you speaking? This is not something that I have asked you. Anyway, leave all that, hear me instead. This is just a little soul. Keeping her like that would serve no good rather would traumatize her. So, please send her back." Lillian almost pleaded but her voice died down halfway when she heard the woman sneer instead.

"And Lillian, what made you think that I would do it according to you?"
