100% Love from the Boss

Chapter 394 The Rescue Efforts Begin

Once Xia Jingru entered the kitchen, she felt worried in her heart. Therefore, after talking with Grandma Zhu for a while, she followed Grandma Zhu’s words and returned to the living room to have a rest and eat some fruit. She was afraid that Taotao would wake up suddenly, causing troubles. It would be a big trouble. She remembered that there was a phone on the combined cabinet in the living room and it was dangerous.

When Xia Jingru returned to the living room, Taotao just finished dialing Ling Tianyi’s number. So Xia Jingru cut the telephone wire in time.

“You… you are a bad woman! Let me go, or my daddy, my mommy, my great grandpa, my granduncle, my uncle, my grandpa and grandma won’t let you go.” Taotao roared and stared at Xia Jingru. He was not fearful at all, because he wanted to frighten Xia Jingru.

Knowing that it was useless to pretend anymore, Taotao decided to be aggressive. He had dialed the number, so his daddy would see the number, he would investigate the address and look for him at the first time, even though his daddy hadn’t answered the phone.

“You woke up a long time ago, right? Did you pretend to be asleep?” Xia Jingru approached Taotao gradually, “You are not stupid. Well, you are only 4 years old now, but you are in grade four. So you won’t be stupid. However, you can’t run away no matter how clever you are. You are captured by me, so you are dead.”

“What do you want to do on earth?” Taotao questioned Xia Jingru loudly. Even though it seemed that he was not afraid at all, Taotao still moved backward to the corner of the wall.

Xia Jingru thought that it wasn’t the right time to kill Taotao, but the little boy was too troublesome. Therefore, she decided to beat Taotao up, in order to vent her anger caused by Xia Xiaoluo before she killed Taotao.

However, Taotao bit Xia Jingru’s wrist when she was about to slap Taotao on his face.

Due to the pain on the wrist, Xia Jingru was overthrown on the ground by Taotao directly. Taotao sat on Xia Jingru’s waist and hit her by his little fists ferociously.

Taotao has learned how to combat and he was strong as a child, but he was only more than 4 years old. He could only win over the children like him. He couldn’t beat the adults like Xia Jingru for sure.

After Xia Jingru felt better after a while, she threw Taotao to the ground directly and tied him up. Later, she beat Taotao up badly for a while. But it was not enough for her to vent her anger.

However, her grandma would come back soon. She couldn’t let her grandma know about it, so she made Taotao fainted again. Later, she untied Taotao and threw him on the sofa.

At that time, Grandma Zhu came in with several dishes, “Jingru! I made the fried sliced meat. The delicious food are not available in the countryside now. So just have the dishes and I will stew the chicken for you tomorrow.”

“Grandma, it’s nice. Don’t be too busy.” Xia Jingru pretended to be a good girl for fear that her grandma would suspect her.

“The little boy should eat something as well!” Grandma Zhu said, she wanted to wake Taotao up. But she found that Taotao’s face was injured.

Seeing that such a lovely baby got injured, Grandma Zhu became anxious, “Alas! What happened to the boy?”

“Grandma, don’t worry. The little boy was so naughty that he fell down from the sofa when he was sleeping. He was injured, but he was still sleeping like a little pig.” Xia Jingru pretended to be calm and said.

“How about sending him to the clinic? His face is injured.” Grandma Zhu was still worried.

“Children will always get hurt. Don’t worry, grandma. You have been busy for a long time today, so you must be fatigued now. How about going to your bedroom to have a rest? I can eat alone. If he wakes up, I will heat the meal for him.” Xia Jingru wanted to drive Grandma Zhu away, for fear that there would be something wrong.

“Never mind. Never mind! I haven’t seen you for many years, so I want to talk with you!” Grandma Zhu sat beside Xia Jingru.

Grandma Zhu asked Xia Jingru to eat something, and she looked delighted.

Xia Jingru was helpless, so she made an excuse, “Grandma, I come to see you and I want to live here for several days. Can you clean up a room for me?”

“OK. OK! Grandma is a dotard now. You must be tired as well. Eat something first and I will clean up a room for you at once!” Grandma Zhu walked to clean up the bedroom for Xia Jingru with a smile.

Xia Jingru sighed a relief, she stared at Taotao and kicked him. And then, she had the meal quickly even though she thought that the dishes were not delicious at all. She was hungry, so she ate much.

Ling Tianyi noticed the number which was hung up quickly. He knew that it was not a nonsense call as usual, so he immediately ordered someone to check the address out.

“Fenghuang Village 18#! Hurry up! Turn around! Hurry up!” Ling Tianyi roared.

“Is it about Taotao?” Xia Xiaoluo asked anxiously, “Is it reliable?”

“Absolutely right! It’s the house of Xia Jingru’s grandma!” Ling Tianyi clenched his fists tightly. Unfortunately, his speculation before was wrong, so he had been looking for Taotao in the wrong direction, and it would take at least one hour to go there even though they drove the car at the full speed.

After Ling Tianyi finished, he and Xia Xiaoluo told others about the information. There were several friends of the underworld who were near Fenghuang Village, so Ling Tianyi repeatedly asked them to guarantee Taotao’s safety.

At the same time, Xia Youfeng was the first one who arrived at Fenghuang Village.

Since he knew that Xia Jingru kidnapped Taotao, he decided to bring Taotao back at all costs. After thinking about all the places that Xia Jingru would go, Xia Youfeng finally decided to go to Fenghuang Village 18#, the house of Xia Jingru’s grandma.

Xia Youfeng was right. He discovered a key ring with a small model plane at the entrance to the village. It was obvious that it belonged to a city child. Therefore, Xia Youfeng knew that he made the right decision.

Xia Youfeng dared not to take actions rashly, because he knew that Xia Jingru was very selfish and evil. After all, he had raised her for so many years.

Xia Youfeng called Ling Tianyi hurriedly, telling him the address.

But Ling Tianyi didn’t care about it at all, “I have already known it and we are on the way there. Your information is outdated.”

“Manager Ling, I owe Xiaoluo too much. So I will definitely save Taotao, my grandson.” Xia Youfeng hung up after he finished.

Chu Tong patted on Xia Youfeng’s shoulders when Xia Youfeng wanted to enter the yard of Grandma Zhu by climbing the wall, “Boss Xia, haste makes waste. If you go in so rashly, Xia Jingru will hurt Taotao.”

“Well, what should I do?” Xia Youfeng asked. He knew Chu Tong. After Xia Xiaoluo disappeared at that time, Chu Tong had been looking for Xia Xiaoluo crazily. So Xia Youfeng had met him for several times.

“You just knock at the door naturally and stall Xia Jingru for a while. I will go into the house by climbing the wall and save Taotao.” Chu Tong said.

Xia Youfeng looked at Chu Tong with suspicious eyes, so Chu Tong sneered, “I can do anything for Xiaoluo. I hate Ling Tianyi, but I love Xiaoluo. Therefore, I will love Taotao as well, I won’t hurt Taotao. So don’t worry, because I will be your best partner.”

“OK!” Xia Youfeng thought that it was a good idea as well.

Xia Youfeng said and went to knock at the door.

Grandma Zhu went to open the gate hurriedly. She forgot to ask Xia Jingru whether Zhu Yufen, her daughter would come here or not. So when she heard that someone was knocking at the door, grandma Zhu thought that it was her daughter.

However, after she opened the gate, she saw her son-in-law instead of her daughter, “You’re… Youfeng?”

“Yes!” Xia Youfeng nodded. He didn’t call this woman mother-in-law because he didn’t want to admit his absurd and wrong marriage.

“Hurry up. Come in. Jingru is here!” Grandma Zhu was ignorant of everything, but she was very happy. Her granddaughter and son-in-law both came to see her, so she guessed that her daughter would come back as well quickly.

“Jingru! Jingru!” Grandma Zhu shouted, “Your father is coming.”

Xia Jingru was going to see who came here, but she became stunned when she heard Grandma Zhu’s words.

“Why did he come here?” Xia Jingru murmured to herself.

Xia Jingru knew that she wasn’t the daughter of Xia Youfeng. What was more, she had inherited the heritage of her biological father in Macao. So she thought instinctively that Xia Youfeng wouldn’t treat her well when he came here suddenly.

“Jingru!” Xia Youfeng suppressed his anger, “Let Taotao go!”

Xia Youfeng noticed that there was a lovely child lying on the sofa. But the injury on Taotao’s face made Xia Youfeng distressed.

“Xia Youfeng, why did you come here? It’s none of your business. Leave it alone, or I will hurt you even though you loved and cared about me these years.” Xia Jingru touched the fruit knife that she hid. It wasn’t a nice weapon, but it was easy for her to kill someone with it.

“I will definitely protect my grandson.” Xia Youfeng said, wanting to grab Taotao.

Xia Jingru stopped him at once, fighting with Xia Youfeng. Grandma Zhu was so frightened that she sat on the ground aimlessly.

Chu Tong took the opportunity to enter the room through the window and carried Taotao in his arms.

Chu Tong was very careful for fear that he would hurt Taotao, “Taotao, don’t be scared, because I won’t hurt you. But I will make use of you to threaten your bastard father.”

Seeing that Chu Tong take Taotao away, Xia Youfeng left Xia Jingru alone, wanting to run after Chu Tong. Because he wouldn’t feel at ease unless carrying Taotao in his own arms.

Xia Jingru was also anxious. Taotao was her suicide bomber, so she couldn’t lose Taotao before she dealt with everything.

Xia Jingru had a nice plan. She planned to install a bomber in Taotao’s body. When the people she hated gathered together, she would use the remote-control device to set off the bomber. Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo and the others would die together. If necessary, she would die together with them as well.

Xia Jingru and Xia Youfeng were both running after Chu Tong. But one of them was old and the other was a female, so neither of them could catch up with the young man.

However, Chu Tong was unlucky. At the entrance of the village, he met the people of the underworld that Ling Tianyi asked for help.

“You stop here! Give the boy to us!” Taotao looked like Ling Tianyi very much, so they could recognize Taotao even though they hadn’t seen him. What was more, the lighting in the village was bright enough, so the gangsters stopped Chu Tong at once.

“OK! I will give you the Little Sir! However, ask Ling Tianyi to meet me!” Chu Tong said maliciously. He wondered whether Ling Tianyi was willing to save his son at the cost of his own life.

If Ling Tianyi dared to do it, Chu Tong would take Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao away after Ling Tianyi died. He would take care of them in his whole life, treating Taotao as his own son. If Ling Tianyi dared not to do it, Xia Xiaoluo would know the true colors of Ling Tianyi. Then Xia Xiaoluo wouldn’t marry Ling Tianyi easily. Certainly, he wouldn’t hurt Taotao because Taotao was Xia Xiaoluo’s son. Therefore, Taotao was also his beloved person.
