Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 262 Making Use of an Opportunity to Kidnap

When Tang Rui returns to the house of the first branch of Tang Family, Tang Kai has already returned from the hospital.

Originally Tang Kai only had some bruises. But Yang Yanqing insisted on going to the hospital. After the wound was treated, under her repeated questions the doctor told her that Tang Kai didn’t need to be hospitalized, otherwise she would keep Tang Kai to stay in the hospital until the incrustation.

“What’s the matter?” Tang Rui hypocritically asks.

Huo Liyun and Yang Yanqing’s facial expression are angry. Since they are at their own home, and there are no strangers there, they complain completely about the second branch of Tang Family. Tang Rui quietly enters Tang Kai’s room. Tang Kai is playing a game machine. He cries as soon as he sees Tang Rui.

“Uncle, you cheated me. You said that Gungun didn’t dare to beat me, but you see!” He points to his hand smeared with gentian violet.

Tang Rui feels that this boy is too useless. He sits down beside the bed to have a look. Then he is somewhat disappointed. If Tang Kai was seriously injured, at least it would cause some trouble for the second branch of Tang Family. But now...

“These little broken wounds have caused your mother to make such a fuss.” Tang Rui thinks of something and asks, “You didn’t tell your mother about the matter between us, did you?”

Tang Kai sobs and shakes his head. “No, my mother hasn’t asked.”

“If she asks you why you went to find Gungun, you must not say the agreement between us. Do you hear me?”

“Why... I only went at your request.” Tang Kai isn’t very happy. He wouldn’t have gone if his uncle hadn’t told him to bully Gungun and promised to buy gifts for him.

This troublesome boy... Tang Rui doesn’t want to let others know that he is behind the scenes. “If you don’t say it, I’ll help you take revenge, OK?”

“How?” Tang Kai stops crying after hearing so. “Will you beat Gungun?”

Tang Rui smiles coldly. “Of course I can’t beat him, but we can scare him.”

“How to scare him?”

“Find someone to take him away secretly and cheat him to kidnap him. Then take him out of town and then send him back!” Tang Rui has just thought of this idea and thinks it is the best one.

Of course, what he doesn’t say is that it is impossible to only take around Gungun. At least he decides to make Yan Hua the bi**h to worry. Then he will ask the kidnapper to leave Gungun to somewhere casually, and passers-by will naturally call the police.

Even if he is found, the second branch of Tang Family won’t punish him severely since nothing really happens to the child. At most he will be scolded. He remembers when he was a child, Tang Ziyan cursed Tang Cao. Later, Tang Cao secretly locked Tang Ziyan up in the basement as revenge.

The adults spent a whole afternoon looking for Tang Ziyan but failed, so they almost called the police. After the incident, Tang Cao was beaten and kept at home for several days. But there was no further punishment. The more Tang Rui thinks about the idea, the more comfortable he feels. He has no time to comfort Tang Kai but runs out to make a phone call.

“Dude, there’s a good job for you. Would you like to take it?” The midnight underground bar is full of rogues of all kinds running wild, and several people who dress as hooligans are drinking together in the corner.

One of the yellow-haired guy shouts loudly, and the deafening music makes his words scatter indistinctly.

“What job?” The hooligan leader in a flowery shirt really hears clearly and leans in to ask, “If there is really a good job, can you introduce it to us?”

“It’s too noisy here. Let’s say it somewhere else!”

On a very ordinary Wednesday, Yan Hua is at home, taking a video phone call with Bai Susu. Chang Pei’e says that Gungun’s birthday is in a week and they plan to come back in a few days.

Then the phone rings.

“It’s from Gungun’s teacher.” Yan Hua’s heart trembles when she sees this number. Does their Wuyou beat somebody else again?

As soon as it puts through, she hears the teacher’s panicked voice.

“Mrs. Lang, Wuyou... Wuyou was injured. we are on our way to the hospital.”

Yan Hua picks up her coat and runs out, asking, “Where was she hurt?” How will they need to go to the hospital?

“She... She was shot.”

When Lang Ruoxian arrives at the hospital, Yan Hua is sitting outside the operating room with her arms around Gungun.

“Dad...” Gungun sees him and cries loudly.

Yan Hua’s eyes are also red-rimmed. Lang Ruoxian hugs his wife and son into his arms. “The bodyguard told me that the bullet hit her shoulder. Wuyou will be fine.”

“She pushed me away. The shot was meant to hit me.” Gungun cries out of breath. “Wuyou was hurt for saving me.”

Lang Ruoxian rubs his son’s head and doesn’t speak. In his heart, Wuyou’s existence value is to protect Gungun.

The lights in the operating room go out and Wuyou is pushed out.

“Mr. Lang, the bullet is taken out and her bones aren’t hurt.” The doctor explains the situation.

Gungun is prone to the side of the bed, calling Wuyou’s name. Yan Hua pulls him up. “She can’t hear you during the stage of narcosis.”

After being back to the ward, Gungun doesn’t want to leave even one step. Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian walk to the door.

“What did the bodyguard say? Who are those people?”

“They are wanted criminals. One man is dead, and three are under policemen’s catching. Two of them are seriously injured and will not be able to hide for long.” Lang Ruoxian looks a little cold. “They all killed people, and there were several lives on them.”

Yan Hua covers her chest and feels scared after the event. “Then why did they aim at Gungun?”

According to Gungun, those men wanted to take him away, only to find that Wuyou was very difficult to deal with, so they shot in a hurry.

“I don’t know yet. We have to wait for the police to catch the remaining three.” Lang Ruoxian glances at the ward. “Let Gungun keep watch at night. Leave a house maid to stay and watch.”

Yan Hua stares blankly. “I should stay...”

“Wuyou was hurt for him, so this is his responsibility.” Lang Ruoxian touches Yan Hua’s face. “I’m going to buy some food. When I come back, you go home and pack up some useful things and let the house maid bring them here.”

Lang Ruoxian just gets out of the gate of the hospital and receives a call from Shu Sheng.

“Young Master, the police have caught some hooligans. They said that they had been told to kidnap little master.”

The hooligans were also unlucky. They received a large sum of money. All they had to do was take the little master of Tang Family out of town and find somewhere inhabited to leave the little master.

Although Tang Family’s status made them hesitate, they thought it wasn’t to kidnap him for money but to frighten him. So they got the nerve to take it, but before they got to work, they saw some guys shooting the girl with a gun.

They were scared to leave despondently. But before they could catch their breath, the police found them sneaking around according to the street corner surveillance, and took them back for questioning, which caused the police to find they were involved. They really aimed at Tang Family’s child.

“They only admitted having taken the money to take Gungun away and throw him out of town, but they firmly refused that they had connections with those wanted criminals.” Lang Ruoxian tells Yan Hua the result of the police investigation. “I think there should have been two groups of people...”

Yan Hua’s face grows colder and colder as she hears. When Lang Ruoxian finishes speaking, her eyes are as cold as ice.

“Scare? Who would take such an action to scare people?”

Lang Ruoxian smoothes her back. “You guessed who it was.”

“Either Yang Yanqing or Huo Liyun.” Yan Hua remembers that she visited Tang Kai at her uncle’s house a few days ago, when Yang Yanqing paid little attention to her. Huo Liyun, as an elder, did say a lot, but she kept saying that Wuyou was not a good girl and asked Yan Hua to send Wuyou away.

“Do you think they are responsible for that?” Yan Hua asks Lang Ruoxian, “I can’t think of anyone else but them.”

Lang Ruoxian hugs her and says, “I’ve sent someone to investigate it. I believe there will be some result soon.”

Having known that Wuyou was shot, Bai Susu and other elders return overnight. The next morning, they stew the soup and go to the hospital. Wuyou has already woken up. She lies on the bed and her small body looks like that of a helpless little animal.

“Tang Cao secretly went to foreign casinos to play. I shall break his legs when he comes back.” Bai Susu keeps nagging to Yan Hua on the road. If it weren’t for calling Tang Cao yesterday, everyone wouldn’t know that he was not at home.

Now Tang Cao is exposed and he is hurrying back by plane.

“If your aunt really did this, she must give us an explanation.” Chang Pei’e also follows. The old woman won’t rest assured if she doesn’t see the kid herself.

Wuyou still greets everyone with an expressionless look. “Grandma, Grandpa, Great-grandma, I’m fine.”

“Look at you! Your little face is so pale. You dare to say you are all right!” Chang Pei’e feels distressed, so she is more dissatisfied with the first branch of Tang Family in the mind.

Gungun acts like a grownup. He uses a bowl to feed Wuyou the soup. First he blows it to lower the temperature, and then he feeds Wuyou.

“Let’s go out and talk.” Yan Hua takes everyone else to the outside room. “Ruoxian has gone to investigate, but he hasn’t got any result.”

Before Lang Ruoxian finds out anything, the police have information first, and a police officer specially comes to the hospital to tell them about the situation.

“They heard in a tea café that the hooligans were discussing to take the child away to scare you. After knowing your identities, they decided to steal the thunder to kidnap the child and demand a ransom.”

The policeman hesitates for a moment and then says, “Mr. Lang asked us to release those hooligans and said that he wouldn’t take actions against them. You see, this...”

“Sorry to trouble you.” Bai Susu smiles. “They didn’t do anything, so it is meaningless for them to be held accountable for. If those wanted criminals are caught, it will be fine. Otherwise there will be other victims.”

The policeman leaves with a complicated expression. He saw that the hooligans were taken away by the secretary of Lang Ruoxian as soon as they left the police station. His colleagues also saw it, but their boss didn’t say anything. They ignored what they had seen.

They can only hope those hooligans whose fate won’t be so terrible.

Those gangsters wish to go to jail! They really don’t know who the affiliation is behind because they took the task from other people’s hands. But Lang Ruoxian has great ability and makes a painstaking investigation, and finally finds the guy behind the scenes.

“Who is it?” Yan Hua and her family are all waiting for the result.

Lang Ruoxian looks at them and answers, “Tang Rui.”

“F**k!” Tang Cao who just returns, has not put his luggage upstairs. He smashes his hat on the ground and runs to the door.

“Ruoxian, catch him!” Bai Susu shouts.

Lang Ruoxian wrenches Tang Cao’s arm to pull him back.

Tang Cao says, “... Brother Ruoxian, you can let go of me. I won’t run.”

“Is it useful for you to meet Tang Rui?” Bai Susu snorts coldly. “What you can do is just to beat him now. But your aunt is there. I don’t think you can beat him severely.”

“Then should we let it go at that?” Tang Cao jumps with anger. “That beast even dared to do such a thing. Should we just let him go?”

The whole family are quiet. Chang Pei’e speaks a few seconds later.

“The final result of this matter will be nothing but Tang Ming will give the company some benefits, and Tang Rui is to be scolded or locked up for a few days. Hua Yating is about to give birth, so it is impossible for them to send Tang Rui abroad.”

The first branch and the second branch of Tang Family are in the same clan. As long as Chang Pei’e and Tang Ming are alive, it is impossible for them to really offend each other openly.
