Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At this time, several men in suits that had been waiting at the school gates came forward. They separated Jian Yiling from Jian Yujie.

Jian Yiling turned around and said, “Don’t be scared. Wait for my news.”

After saying that, she turned around and followed the men.

One of the men stayed back and held Jian Yujie down. As a result, he could not reach Yiling.

Jian Yujie furiously attempted to get away from the man. However, in the end, he couldn’t manage to do so.

The strength of a 17-year-old boy was no match for a trained professional.

“Let me go! Let me go! Don’t you dare hurt Yiling!”

Jian Yujie hissed angrily at the middle-aged man who was restraining him.

The man replied in a polite and courteous manner, “Young Master Yujie, please don’t worry about it. We’re Miss Jian’s friends. We have no intention of harming her. Miss Jian does not want you to get hurt. Due to this reason, you should wait for her news. Please trust that she is capable of handling this matter.”

When the man saw that Jian Yiling had already left, he finally let go of Jian Yujie.

As soon as Jian Yujie became free, he rushed around to see whether there was any mode of transport nearby. He completely forgot that it was still during class time. However, there was no bus to take. As a result, he could only walk in circles.

After Jian Yiling got onto the vehicle once again, the man asked:

“Miss Jian, where do you want to go now?”

“The Jian Residence. Did you bring that man?”

“He’s in the car by the roadside in front of the Jian Residence.”

“That’s good.”

Jian Yiling finally turned on her phone. Then, she dialed Jian Yuncheng’s number.

Jian Yuncheng appeared as though he had been waiting for a call. As soon as she called his number, he had answered her call.

“Yiling?!”

Jian Yuncheng’s voice sounded urgent and worried.

“Yes.”

“Are you okay? Where have you been?!” Jian Yuncheng cried out. He was already trying to control his voice.

“I’m fine. I’ll be home in twenty minutes.”

“Are you actually fine? What’s going on?”

“I have something… to show you.”

“Yiling?”

Before Jian Yuncheng had the chance to ask for any further explanation, Jian Yiling had hung up the phone on him.

Twenty minutes later, in front of the Jian Residence.

Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng were all waiting at the entrance.

When they saw the vehicle that had picked up Jian Yiling, their expressions appeared to be relieved yet anxious.

They didn’t know what was waiting for them.

When the car door opened, there was no sign of Jian Yiling.

Only a few middle-aged men in suits got out of the car.

It appeared as though these men looked quite well trained. They weren’t ordinary people.

“Where is my daughter? Where is Yiling?” Wen Nuan asked urgently.

“Please hand over my daughter.” Jian Shuxing requested. His face was pale and his eyes were fierce.

“Mr. and Mrs. Jian, please do not worry. Miss Jian is fine. We are her friends. We won’t do anything to harm her. We are merely here to show you something.”

The man explained himself in a polite fashion.

At the same time, the door of a car parked at the side of the road also opened.

There were a few people who got out of the car. They were escorting a man that appeared quite disheveled.

When Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng saw the man’s face, they became incredibly shocked.

They had been tracking down this man for quite some time now. As a result, it was impossible for them to forget the man’s face.

Since this man had escaped from Hengyuan City, it had been quite difficult to track him down. They hadn’t yet been able to catch him.

However, today, the man had appeared right in front of them.

“Mr., Mrs., and Young Master Jian, I have a video that I want to show you.”

The middle-aged man politely handed over a computer that had a surveillance video on the screen.
