Chapter 1363: I Only Want You (61)
They were very certain about that.
They then discovered that Long Xiaoxi had left Wei Ni Estate together with the woman.
However, the surveillance cameras had never managed to capture the features of the woman. Fortunately, there were also lots of surveillance cameras outside the estate and they continued to view the footage.
At last, Long Xiaoxi and the woman could no longer be seen after they reached the blind spot of the surveillance cameras. After a long while, the woman exited alone while Long Xiaoxi was nowhere in sight.
Mei Yangyang and Long Tianze were on the verge of despair after seeing what had happened.
Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang drove to the area of the blind spot of the surveillance cameras to see that Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning had already arrived.
It was simply different for those who could fly.
Long Tianze was not in the mood for idle talk.
An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings.
She discovered that the area of the blind spot was rather small and that there were no other buildings that could not be captured by the surveillance cameras apart from the public washroom.
Feeling extremely anxious, the two of them headed to the washroom. An Xiaoning entered the cubicles while Jin Qingyan proceeded to the area behind the washroom.
To their relief, they did not find Long Xiaoxi inside. An Xiaoning's legs turned to jelly.
Where could Long Xiaoxi be, then?
The cover of a water sewer caught An Xiaoning's attention.
Although it was winter time and the ground was supposed to be covered in snow, the cover of the sewer was not covered in snow.
She stepped forward to see that there were lots of footsteps near the pipe that belonged to a child and an adult.
"Qingyan, hurry and come here."
Jin Qingyan strode toward An Xiaoning quickly, after which she lifted the cover.
She instructed Jin Qingyan to wait there for Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang while she checked on the situation with a torchlight.
The stench of the sewer was terribly overwhelming. An Xiaoning called Long Xiaoxi's name out loud a few times while holding onto her torchlight. However, there was no response.
Instead of giving up, she continued to search for Long Xiaoxi. She walked in further and discovered that Long Xiaoxi was tied to the dirty wall. Her eyes were shut tightly and her face was as pale as a sheet. An Xiaoning could not tell if she was dead or plain unconscious...
An Xiaoning held her breath and teared up at the sight of Long Xiaoxi. "Xiaoxi!" she exclaimed.
She rushed forward to hug her and untie the ropes around her. Too afraid to stick her finger below Long Xiaoxi's nose, she pressed her face against Long Xiaoxi's instead to find that it was rather warm. She then stuck her finger below her nose, only to find that her breathing was faint.
An Xiaoning picked her up and began running out of the sewer.
Jin Qingyan had entered the sewer the moment he heard her yelling. Upon the sight of An Xiaoning, he immediately carried Long Xiaoxi out of the sewer while An Xiaoning climbed up rapidly. Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang arrived.
They quickly zoomed toward Jin Qingyan, who was carrying Long Xiaoxi in his arms.
"I'm sending her to the hospital," said Jin Qingyan, who quickly walked away while the three of them tagged along in a separate car.
By the time they arrived in the hospital, Long Xiaoxi was already going through a gastric lavage. Staring at how uncomfortable she was, Long Tianze was filled with misery and anger. He wished he could rip that woman into shreds. Anyone who dares to harm his precious daughter will never be spared!
Fortunately, they managed to get Long Xiaoxi to the hospital in time.
The effects of the type of poison that Mrs. Wen had given Long Xiaoxi would usually take longer to kick in compared to other poisons. However, she would definitely die if she had arrived at the hospital ten minutes later.
Long Xiaoxi was transferred to the premium ward. Mei Yangyang finally relaxed after hearing that Long Xiaoxi was definitely out of danger. She hugged An Xiaoning and began weeping incessantly.
It was a sudden bolt out of the blue.
An Xiaoning hugged Mei Yangyang while her heart sank.
Just who had the audacity to abduct Xiaoxi right in front of us? Not to mention, she's someone we know.
They had to wait for the results of the investigation.
Long Tianze stayed behind in the hospital to look after Long Xiaoxi while Mei Yangyang tagged along with An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan.
After a long while, Fan Shixin returned with the results and said, "According to our investigation, that woman entered one of the apartment buildings in our estate in the end. We're now trying to verify which unit she lives in. Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang have gone to do that. They'll bring her here soon."
"Our estate? I don't remember ever offending any other residents in our estate. Besides, we're not close to them either. We barely interact with the other residents, let alone start a feud with them," Mei Yangyang said in bewilderment.
An Xiaoning had no idea who was up to such stuff either.
Everyone was dumbstruck the moment the bodyguards brought the culprit to see them.
"Wen Yuechan's mother?"
Just as Mrs. Wen was about to stand up straight, she was held down by the bodyguards. "What are you people arresting me for? I didn't do anything at all."
Mei Yangyang scanned her from head to toe and screeched, "You didn't do anything at all? You were caught on the surveillance cameras and yet you're still trying to deny it!?!"
Mrs. Wen vehemently refused to admit to it. Boiling with fury, Mei Yangyang barked, "There's no point in denying it. We tracked you down using the surveillance camera footage. You brought my daughter into the sewer and tried to harm her. Just what were your intentions!?!"
Knowing that there was no escape for her now that they had gathered sufficient evidence against her, she changed her attitude drastically and began begging for forgiveness. "I was just too muddled up at the moment. I was wrong to have done that. Please forgive me this once, I won't do it ever again."
"Forgive you? Did you forget that we were the ones who allowed your daughter to participate in the boot camp? How dare you do that to Xiaoxi? What was your reason!?!"
Mrs. Wen fell silent, not wishing to tell her the reason.
"It's alright if you refuse to speak up now. I believe you'll spill everything once we send you to the police station," said Mei Yangyang, who believed that Long Tianze would definitely kick Mrs. Wen if he were there. She instructed Fan Shixin, "Shixin, take her to the police station and let the police handle her."
Pangs of panic engulfed Mrs. Wen as she hurriedly pleaded, "Please don't send me to the police station. I've already divorced my husband and become a single mother. If I get put behind bars, my daughter will become orphaned."
"Her father is still alive. It's not like she's going to die without you. Don't harm your daughter anymore. She's better off without a vicious mother like you."
Weeping continuously, Mrs. Wen continued to plead, "Please, please let me off this once. I let greed get the better of me. It's all my fault and I deserve to be punished, but my daughter is still young and she needs maternal love."
Mrs. Wen's attempt to play the sympathy card turned out to be futile. Just as Mei Yangyang was about to send Mrs. Wen to the police station, Wen Yuechan zoomed through the door and knelt down in front of Mei Yangyang, bawling and begging for her mercy.
It seemed as if Mei Yangyang was the one at fault and that Mrs. Wen and Wen Yuechan were the innocent victims instead.
