Xie Yunjin’s expression changed, and he immediately rushed out. Lin Dong entered from outside the door and immediately reported.
“Master, something bad happened. One of the Han family’s servants took the
Second Young Master away. When Uncle Wen tried to stop him, he was kicked and the servant ran out with the Second Young Master in his arms.”
Xie Yunjin immediately thought of Han Dongsheng’s earlier words. So Han Family’s kid was taken away by their servant and someone behind the scenes colluded with them. However, Han Dongsheng didn’t follow their plan, so the servant took the Second Born away.
What good would it be for the Second Born to fall into their hands? Xie Yunjin’s face turned extremely ugly, and he rushed out.
In the courtyard, Xie’s servants were in a panic. Outside the main gate, Hu Shan rushed in with the Hu Family guards and quickly spoke up.
“Just now, I saw someone take one of the quadruplets away. I sent someone to chase after them.’
But he didn’t know if they could catch up.
Xie Yunjin’s face was grim. He had been worried about Lu Jiao and feared that the other party would take the opportunity to deal with her. But he didn’t expect these people to brazenly reach into the Xie residence. It was infuriating.
By Xie Yunjin’s side, the First, Third, and Fourth Born were all crying out of fear, mainly afraid that something bad would happen to the Second Born. “Daddy, what do we do? They took the Second Born.”
After Xie Yunjin’s anger subsided, he calmed down and said in a deep voice,
“Don’t worry, the Second Born will be fine.”
At this moment, Xie Yunjin thought of what Lu Jiao had taught the Second Born and his brothers about how to deal with enemies. So the Second Born would temporarily be fine. The people behind them really wanted to deal with him, and they would surely use the Second Born to threaten him.
Inside the Xie family courtyard, chaos ensued. Outside the gate, Lu Jiao, Zhao Lingfeng, and the others walked in.
As soon as they entered, they saw chaos in the courtyard.
Lu Gui, running over in distress, told Lu Jiao, “Sister, something’s wrong. The
Second Born was taken away.”
“What? They brazenly entered our Xie residence and abducted someone? How did they get in?”
Lu Gui quickly replied, “No, it was one of the Han Family’s stewards. He has always been following the Han Young Masters to accompany them. Today, he came in, and none of us paid attention. Who knew he would go to the Second Born and take him away.
When Uncle Wen realized something was wrong and tried to stop him, he was kicked over.”
Lu Jiao’s face turned grim. She looked around at the people in the courtyard, and everyone was in a state of panic.
Lu Jiao spoke in a calm voice, “Alright, everyone disperse. It’s no use staying here. Your Master and I will find a way to rescue the young master.”
Lu Jiao had already figured it out. The real target of the people behind them was Xie Yunjin. They took the Second Born to coerce Xie Yunjin, but they wouldn’t harm the Second Born for now.
Moreover, she had taught the Second Born how to deal with enemies. Even if he encountered danger, he wouldn’t cry and make a fuss. With his character, the enemy wouldn’t immediately resort to extreme measures.
The servants in the Xie residence nodded in response and all dispersed, but each of them was still worried about the Second Born.
At the right moment, Hu Shan spoke up, “Don’t worry, when I came here earlier, I saw one of the Han Family’s servants taking the Second Born away. I felt something was wrong, so I sent guards to chase after them. Let’s wait for their return.”
Just as Hu Shan finished speaking, several guards from the Hu Family returned from outside the gate. They quickly reported, “Master, we couldn’t catch up. As soon as that person left the Xie residence, they were quickly taken away by a group of skilled experts. We ended up empty-handed.”
Although the guards from the Hu Family had some martial arts skills, their skills were only average and couldn’t compare to the carefully selected individuals behind the scenes.
Hu Shan looked guilty as he looked at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao. “I’m sorry, we couldn’t be of help.”
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao shook their heads. “Don’t blame yourselves. It’s not your fault.’
After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, he turned to Han Dongsheng. Although Xie Yunjin’s expression was calm, Han Dongsheng felt that their Han Family had made another mistake.
That person who took the Second Born was from their own family, so did that make him a bad person?
After glancing at Han Dongsheng, Xie Yunjin ordered Lu Gui and Zhou Shaogong, “Go and bring Cla.s.smate Han.”
“Yes, Brother-in-law.”
Lu Gui and Zhou Shaogong went to fetch Cla.s.smate Han.
Meanwhile, Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao, Zhao Lingfeng, and Hu Shan went to the main hall of the Xie residence and sat down.
Lu Jiao informed Xie Yunjin about the incident they encountered on the way.
“It seems they split up into two groups. One group went to capture me, while the other came here to try and capture the four little ones. Regardless of which group succeeds, they would consider it a success.”
Xie Yunjin nodded and said, “The Second Born is temporarily safe. Their target is me.”
After Xie Yunjin spoke, Zhao Lingfeng and Hu Shan expressed their concerns. “This time, you’re in great danger, so you must be careful with your arrangements.”
Xie Yunjin remained silent. No matter what, he would rescue his son. Even if he lost his own life in the process, he wouldn’t give up on saving his child. While they were discussing, Officer Zhao strode in urgently and spoke, “I heard that one of the quadruplets has been abducted.”
The incident at the Xie family gate had already spread in the nearby area, and as soon as Officer Zhao returned, he heard about it, so he hurried over.
Xie Yunjin nodded and said, “Yes.”
Officer Zhao quickly said, “We should plan the next course of action. Their target is you, Yunjin. They only captured the Second Born to kill you. If we don’t arrange things properly, you may lose your life.”
Xie Yunjin nodded solemnly and said, “We should indeed make careful arrangements.”
Just as he finished speaking, Cla.s.smate Han arrived.
When Han Dongsheng saw his father, he burst into tears and rushed over, clinging to his father’s leg. “Dad, someone took away my brother. Steward Xia also took away the Second Born.”
On the way here, Han had already heard from Lu Gui about the incident, and now he wished he could tear Steward Xia’s head off to vent his anger.
Han Tong pulled himself together and apologized to Xie Yunjin, “Yunjin, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let the two little ones from our family come for lessons at a time like this. If they hadn’t come, the Second Born wouldn’t have suffered like this.”
Seeing Han’s condition, Xie Yunjin knew he was also feeling guilty. After all, his son was also in the hands of the other party.
“Now that they’ve targeted our family, they will find a way to capture people. Don’t blame yourself. What we need to do now is to find a way to rescue the two children and quickly find evidence of corruption against Yang and Peng. Once they are arrested and thrown into prison, the network in Qinghe County will be severed, and the people behind it will temporarily halt their actions, and we will be safe.’
At that moment, Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong hurriedly entered from outside and said, “Master, we have made some preliminary progress through our investigation. We’d like to discuss it with you.”
“Okay, go ahead..”
