After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

More than half an hour after Tianheng was abducted, the teacher in charge noticed something was wrong.

It was time to meet, but Tianheng had not shown up.

I asked all the other teachers and children, and they all said they hadn't seen him.

Upon learning the news, the director immediately informed the staff in the botanical garden area, who then mobilized manpower to search for the animals and reviewed the surveillance footage.

We searched the botanical garden from top to bottom, but still couldn't find it.

The surveillance footage only revealed the direction in which Tianheng last appeared.

He walked into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.

When the group found this place, they discovered a spot hidden by trees and bushes where they could leave the area.

Drag marks were also found in the bushes.

Further in, there is a forest overgrown with weeds.

Under normal circumstances, no one would enter this area; even the staff here are unaware that such an area exists.

The staff immediately reported to the park's senior management and learned that the area was a reserved site when the park was first built, and it was closed off after no further development.

Just as the kindergarten principal was about to call the police.

Mingyun called her.

On the other end of the phone, Mingyun's voice was visibly trembling. "Principal, I received a call from a stranger saying my son is in their hands. I want to confirm with you, Tianheng, he..."

The headmaster had no choice but to tell Mingyun about the situation.

After exchanging information, it was finally confirmed that Tianheng had been kidnapped.

Mingyun told the head of the kindergarten that the other party was demanding a ransom and forbidding her from calling the police, or they would kill her.

As for how much ransom to pay and how the handover will be handled, the other party said they would contact them later.

He repeatedly emphasized that if they discovered that the police had been called, he would immediately kill her son.

Left with no other option, the park director could only inform the park that the child had been found and had been taken home by the parents.

Afterwards, Mingyun called Yuye and told him about Tianheng's kidnapping.

But she didn't tell her teacher, Shangguan Rong, because the teacher was too old to handle the shock.

Yu Ye arrived at the Liujin Mansion immediately.

Mingyun appeared to be trying her best to remain calm, but her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

"Did the kidnappers call again?" Ono asked, holding her pale, cold hand.

Mingyun shook her head. "Not yet."

"What did the kidnappers say before?"

"I received a phone call, but I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. They must have used a voice changer. They just told me that someone had kidnapped my child and that they would contact me again later to demand a ransom. Then, they sent me a video."

"Give me your phone number, and show me the video too."

Mingyun gave him a number and then took out the video she had received on her phone.

In the video, Tianheng is tied to a chair.

It was completely dark around us, with only one light shining overhead.

It's impossible to determine where he is.

Mingyun could only tell from Tianheng's clothes and shoes that he was indeed wearing a brand new tracksuit that he had specially put on for going to the park today.

Yu Ye's eyes flashed with coldness.

The kidnappers were extremely cautious.

This video is only a few seconds long.

Aside from informing Mingyun that the child had indeed been kidnapped, no other information was disclosed.

Mino sent the phone number and the video to his subordinates using his own phone, instructing them to immediately launch an investigation.

Now, Mingyun and Yuye have been married for over a year.

In addition, Mino gave Tenheng a legitimate identity.

Therefore, it's no secret that Mingyun is Tianheng's mother.

Trying to investigate from among those who know about the mother-son relationship is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

From the current perspective, the kidnappers are indeed engaging in kidnapping and extortion.

Mingyun is very wealthy; she's already on the list of China's richest people. The other party's purpose seems quite clear.

"Don't worry, Tianheng will be fine, I promise you." Yu Ye held Mingyun's hand, his eyes sharp and firm.

Soon, Mino's subordinates reported back on the investigation.

The unknown number was a VoIP call that went through multiple IP transfers, eventually locating its IP address in Africa.

The kidnappers clearly understand cyber technology, or they have a team with cyber experts.

This lead is no longer viable.

As for that video...

Upon inspection, it was confirmed to be genuine and not synthesized using computer technology or generated by AI.

Meanwhile, after a comprehensive analysis of the video, Ono's subordinates managed to reconstruct the environment hidden in the darkness.

It can be roughly determined that it is an abandoned warehouse.

The team is still analyzing the images frame by frame, trying to find any further clues.

It was already past midnight.

All Mingyun can do right now is wait for the kidnappers to send their next instructions.

In addition to secretly having his subordinates check the video footage, Yu Ye also dispatched people to the park where Tian Heng disappeared to look for clues.

He has professional staff under his command, whose capabilities are no less than those of the police in criminal cases.

In this way, the police can be called without upsetting the kidnappers, and the investigation can be completed without delay.

the other side.

Qin Youyao couldn't sleep.

Since the Qin residence was sold, she had nowhere else to go. He Ya was unwilling to take her with her, so Qin Pinsen had no choice but to place her in a boarding kindergarten.

She increasingly felt a sense of homelessness.

Huazun Kindergarten has dormitories for children.

The children usually take their afternoon nap in the dormitory.

Now, Qin Youyao is the only one left in the kindergarten dormitory.

She couldn't sleep.

I feel really bad.

In the darkness, the light from the children's watch shone on her face, making her tear tracks clearly visible.

She has friends at kindergarten, but it's late now and she doesn't want to disturb them.

My aunt is very busy and often doesn't have time to answer her calls.

He Ya has basically ignored her, and she doesn't want to contact He Ya anymore.

After thinking for a moment, she made a video call to Qin Pinsen.

After waiting for quite a while, the video call finally connected.

"Daughter, what's wrong? Aren't you asleep yet?" In the video, Qin Pinsen was surrounded by darkness, and it was impossible to tell where he was.

Only the phone screen illuminated his face.

Moreover, he spoke in a very low voice.

"Dad... I can't sleep..." Qin Youyao said, "Can you come and take me home..."

As she spoke, large tears streamed down her face.

Qin Pinsen looked around and whispered, "Daddy is very busy right now, okay? Daddy will pick you up from kindergarten in a few days."

"I don't want to wait a few days!" Qin Youyao cried out, "I want you with me now! Waaaaah!"

Qin Pinsen quickly shushed her, his face full of anxiety and tension. "Don't cry, don't cry! Daughter, go to sleep first, okay? When you open your eyes tomorrow, there will be lots of children to play with you again."

"But I miss Daddy... I can't sleep right now, Daddy, can you tell me a story to help me fall asleep...?"

Qin Youyao looked aggrieved, pitiful and helpless.

Qin Pinsen had no choice but to say, "Alright... I'll tell you a story, you go to sleep..."

Qin Youyao was finally satisfied and listened to Qin Pinsen speak to her.

After listening for a while, she had a sudden inspiration and turned on the video call recording function on her watch. That way, if her father couldn't pick her up from school in the next few days and didn't have time to video call her to tell her stories at night, she could listen to the recordings of her father telling stories that day when she went to sleep.

Just then—
