“You are running out of time.”
“By the end of the week. If I don’t hear good news from you, you will need to pay for breach of contract.”
The other party used a satellite phone, and the voice had been processed using a voice changer. Qiu Tong had no way to track the other party.
The gangster sat on the ground, stammering, “I didn’t lie to you, right?!”
Qiu Tong surveyed her surroundings. She bent down and grabbed the gangster by the collar, before pushing him out.
The gangster pressed his hand against the door frame and looked back at Qiu Tong in fear. “Where are you taking me?”
Qiu Tong tilted her head, looking especially impatient. “If you want to wish here, I won’t stop you.”
She needed to control the gangster so that she could contact the other party. She would have to slowly lure the other party into revealing their identity and goal.
If she let the gangster stay here, he could easily reveal to the other party what happened today.
By then, the situation would be completely different. Qiu Tong could not take the risk.
The gangster hesitated. Qiu Tong saw that daylight was approaching and directly drove the knife hilt at his neck, rendering him unconscious. She then dragged the unconscious gangster into the car.
The moon hanging in the sky dimmed, and the sun rose faintly in the east.
In the room of the villa, Ye Luan was supporting his injured arm and strenuously packing his luggage.
The table was filled with the gifts Qiu Tong had given him. Ye Luan carefully put them away. He looked around the room reluctantly and gently stroked the blanket. Although he hadn’t known Qiu Tong for long, he treated the Qiu family as his own.
It was because they were his cherished family that Ye Luan had to leave them…
Ye Luan opened the door and pushed his luggage to the door, planning to disappear into the night.
“Where are you going?”
A clear voice came from behind. Ye Luan turned around stiffly and saw Qiu Xingyuan sitting on the sofa. He frowned, not knowing how to explain.
Qiu Xingyuan stood up and walked to the entrance. “Even if you want to leave, you have to bid farewell to everyone. Sneaking away is extremely rude. Did we do anything wrong to you? What’s the reason?”
Ye Luan lowered his eyes, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the luggage handle. “It’s not you guys, it’s me.”
“I’ll settle my own problems. I can’t implicate you.”
Qiu Xingyuan frowned and pursed his thin lips in disagreement. “The terrorists in the hospital kidnapped and held us hostage. You helped us without any regards to your own safety.”
“That incident had nothing to do with you. According to your logic, you could have just watched from the side.”
“Do you think we’re cold-blooded and selfish? Or are we not worthy of your trust?”
Qiu Xingyuan’s tone was sharp. Ye Luan opened his mouth several times to explain, but he could only swallow his words. In the end, he just shook his head silently.
Qiu Xingqiao was woken by the commotion outside in the bedroom. He overheard the conversation between his elder brother and Ye Luan and immediately rushed over to snatch his luggage.
He raised his chin. “I hated you when Mommy brought you back!”
“But after spending so much time together, I… I’ve already accepted and gotten used to having you at home. I’ve also told the children in kindergarten that I have two brothers. Don’t even think about leaving!”
“Even if there’s trouble, we will definitely be able to solve it.”
When Ye Luan saw their attitude, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He had never felt such warmth before.
Bang! Qiu Tong dragged in the kidnapped gangster, only to see three pairs of eyes staring at her.
Qiu Tong tied the gangster to a stone pillar in the living room and looked back at the piece of luggage placed in the empty space. “You’re running away from home?”
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao shook their heads at the same time. They pointed at Ye Luan and refused bluntly. “It’s him!”
There was a huge commotion on the first floor. Jin Yang, Ke Le and the rest came out of the room and saw the dazed gangster. They stared at Qiu Tong in confusion, waiting for her to explain the situation…
“Ke Le, Shao An, please bring him to the basement and arrange for someone to keep an eye on him 24/7. Be vigilant”
“Also, the guards outside the villa should be stationed at the most vulnerable spots…”
Qiu Tong directly ordered Shao An. Shao An looked at Jin Yang with a questioning gaze.
Jin Yang nodded in tacit agreement. Shao An immediately brought the gangster to the basement.
Qiu Tong wanted to set up a tracking system on the gangster’s phone. She typed away on her laptop to design a tracking program. Little Yu laid beside her in her adorable pajamas. She glanced at what Qiu Tong was doing in confusion, before taking over the laptop and skillfully started writing some code.
Qiu Xingyu’s proficiency far exceeded Qiu Tong’s. The program she designed was even more meticulous than Qiu Tong’s.
She was indeed a future big-time hacker!
Qiu Tong rubbed the top of Qiu Xingyu’s head and kissed her cheek to encourage her.
Ye Luan’s eyes darkened as he clenched his fists hesitantly.
Faced with concern for the Qiu family, he had no choice but to tell them the truth. “I have what they want. As long as they don’t get it, they will continue to chase after me.”
“I can’t trouble you anymore. Auntie Qiu, thank you. I better go.”
Ye Luan stood up and bowed deeply in Qiu Tong’s direction.. He bit his lips stubbornly, his voice choked with emotion.
