"Doing nothing. I'm just asking if you still want your son."
Sitting in the car, Lu Fenglin burst into laughter upon hearing Lu Chuanbai's angry and anxious voice. His face was distorted and hideous, revealing a bit of unhinged neuroticism.
Hearing Lu Fenglin's words, Lu Chuanbai flew into a rage and shouted coldly.
"Lu Fenglin, do you have any conscience left? He's your own nephew! He trusted you so much, but you kidnapped him!"
Standing outside the office, Xu Qingqing heard that it was actually Lu Fenglin who had kidnapped Xu Yiyi.
The last bit of goodwill Xu Qingqing had towards Lu Fenglin completely collapsed, and her face was filled with hatred and anger.
Just thinking about how many times Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an had asked her why they couldn't see Uncle Lu Fenglin anymore, Xu Qingqing felt it wasn't worth it for the two kids.
Losing her sanity, Xu Qingqing rushed to Lu Chuanbai's side, snatched his phone, and loudly warned Lu Fenglin.
"Lu Fenglin, if you dare to do anything to Yiyi, I'll never forgive you in this lifetime!"
Hearing Xu Qingqing's words, Lu Fenglin felt a stabbing pain in his heart, but he didn't give an inch with his words and sneered provocatively.
"Xu Qingqing, you should be begging me now instead of threatening me. Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and do something to your son?"
"How dare you!" Xu Qingqing was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She gripped the phone tightly.
"Lu Fenglin, I really misjudged you. Those two kids liked you so much, but you're just a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Saying this, Xu Qingqing buried her head in Lu Chuanbai's arms and cried. Lu Chuanbai put his arm around Xu Qingqing, took the phone, and softened his tone.
"Lu Fenglin, what exactly do you want? As long as I can give it to you, I will!"
"But please don't hurt Yiyi!"
Hearing the high - and - mighty Lu Chuanbai even use the word "beg", Lu Fenglin felt indescribable pleasure. All the grievances he had suffered over the years seemed to vanish at this moment.
Lu Fenglin burst into laughter. His eyes were gloomy and crazy.
"Lu Chuanbai, Lu Chuanbai. I never thought you'd be so vulnerable once you have a weakness. You can get your son back, but I want you to step down from the position of the president of the Lu Corporation!"
"And you're never allowed to set foot in the Lu Group again. I want to be the new president of the Lu Corporation!"
"If you can't agree, don't blame me for doing something to your son."
After all this talk, they finally got to the point.
Hearing that Lu Fenglin had gone to all this trouble just for the position of the president, the veins on Lu Chuanbai's forehead bulged. He tried hard to suppress his unwillingness.
"Okay, I agree."
Lu Chuanbai agreed without hesitation, but Xu Qingqing, who was lying in his arms, didn't want Lu Chuanbai to give in. She shook her head at Lu Chuanbai with tears in her eyes.
"No!"
After being with Lu Chuanbai, Xu Qingqing had witnessed how dedicated Lu Chuanbai was to the Lu Group. He had to personally oversee every link and only felt at ease when everything was perfect.
How could she watch Lu Chuanbai give away his hard - won achievements with his own hands?
Lu Chuanbai gently wiped away Xu Qingqing's tears with a tender smile and silently shook his head at her.
The two kids and Xu Qingqing were the most precious treasures in his life. As for the money and power, if Lu Fenglin wanted them, he could have them.
"I've recorded this. I'll send your son back. I hope you'll keep your word."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai agree so readily, all the words Lu Fenglin had prepared in his mind were useless. He hung up the phone after leaving this sentence.
Anyway, his goal was the Lu Group, to hold Lu Chuanbai's hard - won achievements in his hands.
He wanted to see how down and out Lu Chuanbai would be without the Lu Group as his backer!
Xu Qingqing lowered her head, crying, full of self - blame. "It's all my fault. If I had watched Yiyi more carefully, none of this would have happened..."
It was all because of her meddling!
She'd never go to the snack street again in this lifetime!
Just then, the phone suddenly rang. Xu Qingqing wiped her tears and hung up. Then she saw a message from an unknown number. The content of the message was an address.
"An abandoned cement factory on the northwest outskirts of the city..."
Xu Qingqing murmured and looked up at Lu Chuanbai in disbelief. She guessed, "Could this be the address sent by Yiyi..."
Lu Chuanbai thought it was possible. He immediately called three or four bodyguards to go with him and Xu Qingqing to check the situation at this address.
They couldn't afford to miss even the slightest bit of information that might lead them to Xu Yiyi!
The minivan had returned to the abandoned factory. Xu Yiyi even remembered to tie a knot with the leather strap on his hand.
The green - haired guy lifted Xu Yiyi out of the van and threw him on the dusty ground. Even though Xu Yiyi was in so much pain that it felt like his body was falling apart, he didn't utter a single sound.
Gu Anrou saw the message Lu Fenglin sent her, and her anger boiled over.
Xu Qingqing had ruined her like this. Even if she did something to Xu Yiyi, it was Xu Qingqing's just deserts.
It was Lu Fenglin who liked Xu Qingqing, not her. He couldn't just bring the kid back and treat him like a precious guest. At least, she should teach Xu Yiyi a lesson.
To avoid getting angry, Gu Anrou directly blocked Lu Fenglin. She stared fixedly at Xu Yiyi, who was curled up on the ground.
"As the saying goes, the son should pay for his father's debts. Your mother has ruined me like this, so don't blame me for doing something to you!"
After saying that, Gu Anrou directed a few hooligans to rush up and beat Xu Yiyi.
"Beat him now. Keep beating until I'm satisfied." Gu Anrou's eyes were gloomy, and her whole body exuded a murderous aura.
Hearing that Gu Anrou wanted them to bully a kindergarten kid and beat him to death, the hooligans couldn't help but think that Gu Anrou was really vicious.
Moreover, if they beat the kid to death, they'd be convicted of intentional homicide and might never be able to get out for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that none of the hooligans were willing to step forward, Gu Anrou directly kicked Xu Yiyi in the stomach.
Xu Yiyi's small body immediately flew half a meter away. He curled up in pain but still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
The green - haired guy couldn't stand it anymore and reached out his hand to stop Gu Anrou.
"Forget it. He's just a kid. He's already scared enough being kidnapped. Don't beat him anymore."
Gu Anrou somehow took out a scalpel and pointed it menacingly at the green - haired guy.
"If you dare to plead for him, you'll take his beating!"
Hearing this, the green - haired guy immediately shut up and could only stand aside sympathetically, watching Gu Anrou torture Xu Yiyi.
To avoid giving in, Xu Yiyi gritted his teeth so hard that he bit his lips. Streaks of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked embarrassed and pitiful.
But his eyes were extremely cold, with a chilling aura, staring straight at Gu Anrou.
This made Gu Anrou remember that Lu Chuanbai also looked at her like this when he was angry. She got even angrier. She took off her wig and cursed viciously.
"Fine! I can't beat you, but I can burn you to death!"
