"This time, I'll see where you can run!"
Gu Anrou wore a sinister smile on her face. She picked up the steel pipe she had just thrown on the ground and was about to shove it into the cement pipe to smash Xu Yiyi's head hard.
Seeing that she was completely cornered, Xu Yiyi summoned all her strength and rammed her small body against the cement pipe.
But with the hooligans propping it up on both sides, the cement pipe wouldn't budge, and there was no way to escape. She could only watch helplessly as Gu Anrou raised the steel pipe.
"If you dare to lay a finger on me, my parents won't let you off!"
Xu Yiyi dropped this warning and said no more. Her big, innocent, watery eyes were filled with determination and anger, but there was not a trace of fear in them.
"Your mother has never let me off. Now I'm just making the child pay for the mother's debts!"
With that, Gu Anrou raised the steel pipe high and slammed it hard towards Xu Yiyi. All traces of humanity had completely left her.
Xu Yiyi closed her eyes, waiting for what was about to happen.
At the critical moment, Lu Fenglin, who had just driven there, saw Gu Anrou raising the steel pipe maliciously, about to smash it down on something.
He didn't even need to guess. He knew it must be Xu Yiyi inside!
This Gu Anrou really had no shred of humanity!
Lu Fenglin seethed with anger inside and honked the horn.
Hearing the sound, Gu Anrou turned around. Seeing that it was Lu Fenglin, a flash of panic crossed her face, but she still had no intention of letting go.
Seeing this, Lu Fenglin completely lost his patience with Gu Anrou. He directly drove the car straight at her.
If Gu Anrou really dared to harm Xu Yiyi, then he would just run her over.
It didn't matter if he had to stay in prison for the rest of his life. He'd trade his life for hers.
Gu Anrou never expected that Lu Fenglin would have the intention to kill her and actually dare to drive at her.
The car accelerated wildly. When it was only half a meter away from hitting Gu Anrou.
Gu Anrou finally couldn't hold back her fear. The stick in her hand slipped out, and she collapsed to the ground.
Lu Fenglin hit the brakes hard. The car stopped just a few centimeters away from Gu Anrou.
Gu Anrou was soaked in cold sweat and trembling all over.
Lu Fenglin quickly got out of the car. His face was cold and stern, and a strong aura of hostility emanated from his whole body.
"Are you crazy! Didn't I warn you not to touch Xu Qingqing and the two kids? Can't you hear me!"
Lu Fenglin directly raised his hand and slapped Gu Anrou. Feeling it wasn't enough, he reached out and grabbed Gu Anrou's hair tightly, forcing her to raise her resentful face.
"You're truly as vicious as a snake. You won't even spare a child! You don't deserve to be called a human!"
Hearing Lu Fenglin's gritted - teeth words, Gu Anrou's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Who ever let me off! I spent so many days in prison. Did you ever think about rescuing me!"
"Now you're pretending to be a good person. Lu Fenglin, you're just as bad as me. Let's not pick on each other!"
"You're talking nonsense. I'm not like you." Lu Fenglin roared and flung Gu Anrou away.
Gu Anrou's body fell to the ground like a broken doll, and the burn marks on her body were exposed to the air.
Lu Fenglin coldly looked at the hooligans he had hired: "I hired you to kidnap adults. Who told you to kidnap a child!"
"Do you have any humanity at all!"
The yellow - haired hooligan and a few others shifted the blame onto Gu Anrou.
The green - haired hooligan even pointed at the pool of gasoline spilled on the ground and said to Lu Fenglin, "This woman wanted to pour the gasoline on the kid at first. We were lucky to stop her."
If that much gasoline had been poured on Xu Yiyi, Lu Fenglin didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Lu Fenglin's perception of Gu Anrou's cruelty was once again refreshed. He stared at her coldly, exuding a storm of killing intent.
"Since you won't listen to me, there's no need for us to continue cooperating."
After saying that, Lu Fenglin kicked the steel pipe beside Gu Anrou away and walked up to the cement pipe. He saw Xu Yiyi curled up like a little chick at the bottom.
Xu Yiyi covered her head with her small, innocent hands, and her thin body was trembling. Lu Fenglin felt even more heart - ache at this sight. His voice was gentle.
"Yiyi, it's me. I'm Uncle Lu."
Hearing Lu Fenglin's voice, Xu Yiyi looked up in disbelief. Seeing that it was really Lu Fenglin, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sobs.
"Uncle Lu, finally someone came to save me!"
Lu Fenglin's expression softened. He bent down and picked Xu Yiyi out of the cement pipe. He gently patted Xu Yiyi's back to comfort her and said softly, "Don't be afraid anymore."
Xu Qingqing, who had driven there, saw the cement factory come into view. Remembering what Old Gu had said, she worriedly exhorted Lu Chuanbai.
"Lu Chuanbai, I'll handle the negotiation later. Don't come out and provoke Gu Anrou, okay?"
Lu Chuanbai was slightly stunned by this. His eyebrows knitted together.
"Why? She kidnapped Yiyi. Am I supposed to let her off?"
He was itching to kill Gu Anrou right now!
Xu Qingqing told Lu Chuanbai about her conversation with Old Gu. Her tone was heavy and worried.
"I know you weren't the one who maliciously drove out the hold - outs, but if it gets out, it'll be bad for your image. You should be patient at this critical moment."
And she was willing to risk her life to save Xu Yiyi.
Only then did Lu Chuanbai understand that Xu Qingqing was thinking about him. A warm feeling flashed through his heart. He shook his head with a bitter smile and explained.
"Xu Qingqing, I never maliciously drove out the hold - outs. It was Lu Fenglin who did it.
"And I used that as leverage to make Lu Fenglin give up Weishan Island. Moreover, I compensated those hold - outs a lot of money."
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's good that it wasn't you. At first, I was also confused about how you could do such a thing.
"But I was worried that it was someone under your command who did it without your consent, so I was being so cautious."
"I know." Lu Chuanbai nodded and reached out to hold Xu Qingqing's hanging hand.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely save Yiyi."
Lu Fenglin was about to leave with Xu Yiyi in his arms when Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai, who had just arrived, parked their cars outside the cement factory. They slammed the car doors and rushed in immediately.
Seeing Xu Yiyi in Lu Fenglin's arms, Xu Qingqing's eyes widened in shock. She let out a pained scream.
"Yiyi! Lu Fenglin, if you dare to harm Yiyi, I'll never let you off!"
Lu Chuanbai stood behind Xu Qingqing. A storm was brewing in his black eyes, and his voice was icy cold.
"Lu Fenglin, I've already agreed to hand over the company to you. It's time you returned Yiyi to me, right?"
Hearing this, a flash of panic and disbelief crossed Xu Yiyi's eyes. Her small hand pressed against Lu Fenglin's chest as she tried to push him away.
"Uncle Lu, were you the one who really kidnapped me?
"Did you kidnap me as a hostage to get the Lu Group from my dad?"
Xu Yiyi never expected that Lu Fenglin, who had come to save her like a god, was actually the mastermind behind her kidnapping.
