Chapter 155: Chapter 0155: The Premeditation of Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Lin Xue directly asked a nurse for the location of the ward and then waited in the room.

In this general ward meant to accommodate over a dozen victims, there wasn’t even space to sit, so Lin Xue and her colleague stood for about ten minutes before they saw a nurse pushing a hospital bed in with a patient whose head was entirely wrapped in gauze.

After the nurse had settled the patient, Lin Xue approached and asked, "Hello, I am Police Officer Lin Xue. Were you knocked unconscious on Nandachang Street?"

"Yes, that was me."

The driver spoke with difficulty, his head feeling heavy, as if hundreds of pounds were pressing down on it.

"Do you remember who hurt you?"

Lin Xue asked again.

It seemed the driver remembered something urgent and blurted out, "Miss Liu is still in the car, have you seen her?"

"No!"

Lin Xue shook her head, but her intuition told her this case was not simple, "According to the person who reported the incident, he found you collapsed on the roadside with a lot of blood on your head, but there was no car or people at the scene."

"No, both ladies were in the car, something must have happened, they must have been kidnapped."

The driver shouted urgently, "Quickly notify Mr. Liu Gaoze, please call him for me."

Lin Xue was startled, not expecting the case to be connected to Liu Gaoze, then the Miss Liu in the car had to be Liu Mengting, right?

She hurried out of the ward to find the nurse and indeed, found a cell phone in the driver’s jacket.

Lin Xue returned to the ward, and using the number the driver mentioned, found Liu Gaoze’s contact.

"Quickly call Mr. Liu and tell him Miss Liu and Miss Li Xiaoli might have been kidnapped."

The driver said anxiously.

Lin Xue dialed the number, and the person on the other end asked, "Mr. Liu, what’s the matter?"

"Mr. Liu, I am Officer Lin Xue from the patrol squad. Your driver is currently in the hospital. He asked me to tell you..."

Lin Xue hesitated then said, "He asked you to check whether your daughter went to school today."

"What? Meng Ting is in trouble?"

Liu Gaoze’s heart trembled, and he directly called Tianjiao High School’s teacher.

Recognizing Liu Gaoze’s number, the teacher did not dare to delay and hurried to inquire in Liu Mengting’s class as instructed, but sadly, not only was Liu Mengting absent from school, Li Xiaoli was also missing.

Liu Gaoze then urgently dialed his daughter’s cell phone, but all he got was a switched-off tone, now he was truly alarmed, the situation could be very serious!

He hastily redialed Lin Xue’s number and said urgently, "Officer Lin, please hand the phone to my driver, I need to ask him something."

Lin Xue held the phone to the driver’s ear, and the driver hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu, the miss is definitely in trouble."

"Take it slow, what exactly happened?"

Liu Gaoze had weathered many storms and managed to regain some composure. He knew that panicking would only lead to more chaos, so he carefully listened to every detail the driver related.

"Mr. Liu, just like any other day, I was taking the young ladies to school this morning, but as we were passing Nandachang Street, a truck suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, blocking the whole street! While I was waiting, suddenly another car hit us from behind, causing a rear-end collision. I hurried out to see what was happening, but no sooner had I stepped out than someone struck my head, and I was knocked unconscious! When I awoke, I was already in the hospital. I suspect it was a deliberate plan to kidnap the two young ladies."

The driver narrated everything in detail, and on the other side, Lin Xue was also listening intently.

It was clear that this was no ordinary assault but a premeditated kidnapping. Lin Xue was somewhat excited by the abrupt turn of events; she had become a police officer specifically to catch criminals and solve cases, but she usually encountered only trivial matters. Now that a kidnapping had literally landed on her doorstep, she was eager to demonstrate her capabilities.

After hearing the driver’s words, Liu Gaoze consoled him, "Xiao Gao, take good care of yourself, and don’t worry about anything else."

Thereupon, Liu Gaoze immediately left all his company’s affairs and set out. On his way, he dialed Tang Ming’s number. In his view, if his daughter was missing, Tang Ming must have encountered trouble as well; otherwise, with Tang Ming by Meng Ting’s side, the kidnappers couldn’t have succeeded so easily.

But unexpectedly, Tang Ming’s mobile phone was actually reachable. Liu Gaoze felt a surge of relief and hastily asked, "Tang Ming, where are you?"

"I... I’m just outside the school."

Tang Ming was somewhat embarrassed to speak, as this was outside of his official duties.

"Outside? Meng Ting has been kidnapped, do you know that?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Gaoze guessed that Tang Ming hadn’t been with Meng Ting, no wonder she had been kidnapped! He felt displeasure but refrained from expressing it.

"That’s impossible, right?"

Tang Ming was shocked. Sneaking off to help the Xia Family make ice pops was already a dereliction of duty. If Meng Ting had been kidnapped during his absence, he would truly be guilty.

"If you weren’t with Meng Ting, what were you doing so early in the morning?"

Liu Gaoze asked with a furrowed brow.

"A friend needed some help, so I got up early to lend a hand."

Feeling very guilty, Tang Ming said, "Uncle, don’t worry, I will rescue them. Can you first tell me exactly what happened?"

"Alright..."

Liu Gaoze knew Tang Ming was capable, and as it seemed likely that the situation had been orchestrated by their adversaries, he couldn’t entirely blame Tang Ming. Thus, he relayed what the driver had described once more to Tang Ming.

After hearing it all, Tang Ming was almost certain this was a kidnapping case, but what exactly did these people want—money, or Liu Gaoze’s technological data?

Whichever it was, Tang Ming felt uncomfortable. He was Meng Ting’s bodyguard, yet had failed to protect her. This was a clear dereliction of duty. Moreover, it was evident that recently there were many targeting Meng Ting, and his carelessness had been utterly inappropriate.

"Uncle, I’m coming home right away. Wait for me, and if the kidnappers demand a ransom, we’ll think of something then," Tang Ming said, feeling remorseful.

"Don’t come back just yet. There’s a satellite positioning system in the nanny van. I’ll have the Dark Group help locate where the van is parked. You go straight there and see what’s happening. If you find them, be very careful in rescuing them and ensure their safety. I’m counting on you!" Liu Gaoze instructed.

Tang Ming, hearing the van was equipped with a tracking system, felt a burst of hope for recovering Meng Ting and the other, and quickly nodded, saying, "Alright, Uncle, I’ll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming began cursively cursing the kidnappers, "Damn it, truly fucking rotten to the core, choosing specifically today when I wasn’t around to make a move. Since you’re intentionally making trouble for me, just wait until I catch you—you’ll get yours!"
