Aolai seemed to understand Xie Zhuzhou's words and paced anxiously in circles. Seeing this, Xie Zhuzhou had no choice but to bring Aolai along as well.
"Come on, Aolai, let's go rescue them!"
Upon receiving the call, Yang Da reacted swiftly, immediately gathering his team and calling the police. After preparing the necessary equipment, he rushed to Xie Zhuzhou.
Meanwhile, Ji Wangyun continued to follow the black sedan. The more this happened, the calmer he became. He observed his surroundings, trying to find a quick way out.
The black sedan drove onto a secluded side road, where the surrounding buildings appeared increasingly desolate and dilapidated; this was an abandoned factory.
Li Yankai was taken to a dilapidated warehouse. The warehouse was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a damp and rotten smell.
He was roughly thrown to the ground, and the kidnappers surrounded him, seemingly awaiting further instructions. Li Yankai tried to remain calm, thinking about possible escape opportunities.
He truly couldn't understand why he was always the one who got hurt; what had he done wrong?!
How unlucky he is! Oh no, he's not really going to get his kidneys cut off, is he?!
Please, he only looks healthy; he's actually quite unhealthy!
He often eats fried chicken and drinks cola, and occasionally drinks milk tea and yogurt that are full of high-tech and spicy ingredients. Also, although he is very good at running, he gets tired easily.
His health is really bad; he can only do 200 sit-ups. Is he considered excellent? Why are they targeting him?
His brother Xie Zhuzhou, was never kidnapped!!!
The kidnapper ripped the duct tape off Li Yankai's mouth and shouted, "What are you looking at!"
Li Yankai finally got a microphone. With a pained expression, he whispered, "Big brother, um, did you kidnap the wrong person? My surname isn't Xie..."
Ji Wangyun, who had just sneaked in. "..."
The kidnapper sneered, "That's right! We kidnapped you! It's your father's fault for not giving us a way out lately! If we have no other way, we'll have to find our own!"
After saying that, he tried to step on Li Yankai's bound hands, but Li Yankai suddenly rolled over and dodged the kick. His expression was even angrier than the kidnapper's.
"Heh, so it was Li Shangfeng who did this! You want to get back at him, huh! Then go and beat him up!" Li Yankai's voice was filled with anger, and words poured out of his mouth, "He's kept this from me for so many years, I even had to think long and hard before drinking a bottle of AD calcium milk! I haven't even enjoyed any good fortune, and disaster has befallen me! Why am I so unlucky! Brother, don't you think so?"
Answer me!
The kidnapper was stunned by his words, and replied sluggishly, "Yes..."
Li Yankai, still hunched over, slowly sat up. "When I was a teenager, I washed his clothes, and I ruined them. I thought it was because the clothes were cheap and of poor quality, and I felt really bad for him because of it."
I gritted my teeth and smashed my little gold pig to buy him a more durable one!
But how did he treat me?! Do you think he's a good person? Speak up!
The two kidnappers were startled and immediately exclaimed, "No!"
The kidnappers never imagined that Li Shangfeng could be so heartless towards his son! He's a billionaire CEO, yet he won't even buy his son AD calcium milk! Can such a father even be considered a father?!
Something just doesn't feel right.
"I'll buy it for you! Stop crying! What's a grown man like you crying about!"
After hearing Li Yankai's story, the kidnappers were filled with righteous indignation and became even more determined to kill Li Shangfeng.
By this time, Li Yankai had completely broken down. He couldn't hear anything anymore and kept babbling on and on. "Another time, it was the dead of winter, and I was worried he'd get frostbite at the construction site, so I brought him a military overcoat. But he took it off after I left. I thought he was just being stingy with it, but it turned out he was wearing an even more expensive thermal undershirt underneath! When he got home, he actually said it was a hand-me-down from the boss!"
The kidnapper's eyes turned red as he listened, "Is this guy even human?!"
Li Yankai said he was exhausted, lying on the ground as if he had no will to live, resigned to his fate. "Big brother, kill me if you want. I don't want to deal with him anymore. He has so much money, he certainly doesn't lack people to support him in his old age."
Li Yankai rolled over, tears streaming down his face.
Hiding in the corner, Ji Wangyun's gaze was deep. He squinted slightly, calculating the distance. He didn't know how much chance he had of winning against several people carrying large cleavers.
"Kill me, kill me, whatever, it's fine. If you want to contact them with my phone, that's impossible, because I've already blocked and deleted them! Anyway, the meager wages I make aren't even worth a second of what President Li earns!" Li Yankai shrank back pitifully, his face pressed against the cold ground, his voice utterly desolate. "My phone's in my pocket. If you really need no money, just sell it."
The kidnappers were somewhat moved by Li Yankai's tragic story and impassioned words, and even began to doubt themselves. One of the kidnappers couldn't help but say, "Boss, he's quite pitiful!"
"Can pity fill your stomach? Just wait! He's gone, and Li Shangfeng is probably somewhere crying and looking for his son."
The kidnapper leader snorted coldly, clearly skeptical of Li Yankai's words, but his inner turmoil was hard to conceal. He crouched down, staring into Li Yankai's eyes, trying to find a flaw. "You little brat, don't try anything funny! If Li Shangfeng really didn't care about you, why would he send so many people looking for you?"
Li Yankai's face still held that expression of despair. "Big brother, to be honest, because my family was too poor, I always told my parents that I got first place in the grade and won scholarships, and I never asked them for tuition fees."
Actually, I've always been at the bottom of my class!!
So, where did I get the money? I borrowed from loan sharks. Then the interest compounded, and I borrowed more and more! They threatened me that if I didn't rob Peter to pay Paul, they would cut off my hands!
Li Yankai lay flat on the cold floor, resigned to his fate, a hint of despair in his eyes. "If my dad really cared about me, he wouldn't be unaware of these things... Now that I think about it, maybe I'm not his biological son."
Xie Zhuzhou, who had secretly jumped to the edge of the second-floor window and was lying in ambush, gritted his teeth.
He had no idea Li Yankai was living such a hard life! If he had known, he would have transferred more money.
Young Master Xie recalled the fountain pen that Li Yankai had given him; he guessed it was money Li Yankai had saved up for a long time.
Suddenly, Young Master Xie felt a pang of conscience and swore on his second brother that he would never bully Li Yankai again.
