Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 555  Abduction

"Mommy?" Ran Xueyi jolted to a stop when she saw her son in bed, rubbing his eyes and looking at her retreating figure by the door.

Before she could concoct any excuse, she heard her son say, "Are you going somewhere to film again?" Feeling guilty for not telling her son where she was going, Ran Xueyi dropped her bag on the ground and rushed to the bed to hug him tight in her embrace. "Zhanzhan, mommy will be back. Just wait for me, okay?" she told him, forcing back down the tears that appeared in her eyes. "Mommy just needs to finish a job I didn't expect to arrive. It won't take long, but can you promise Mommy that you won't misbehave while big brother Guo Yun is looking after you?"

Still groggy and feeling sleepy, Little Zhanzhan nodded and said, "I promise." "Good boy. My son is the best." Ran Xueyi bit her lips and looked to the wall to distract herself as she swayed her body side to side until she felt her son falling deep into sleep. After ensuring he wouldn't wake up to chase after her, Ran Xueyi planted a kiss on his forehead and wiped the tears that fell on his cheek. Then, she gave him one last glance before shutting the door behind her. Once outside the main bedroom, Guo Yun and Adele were already standing in the living room, waiting for her. "Take care of my son, will you?" she told them, to which Guo Yun answered with a nod, and Adele gave her a hug. "Come back, okay? You still have a lot of things to do before you can grab the Triple Crown Award, so you better return." Adele pulled away for a bit to look carefully at Ran Xueyi's face. "Don't forget to bring your skincare routine make-up."

"I can just buy it there." She turned to Guo Yun, who effortlessly slung her bag to his shoulder. "I think it's time for me to go."

—***—

It took a while for her to arrive in Russia. However, as soon as she got off the plane, a group of men in business suits escorted her out of there and led her to a Bentley Continental. Ran Xueyi followed them and didn't say a word. Once inside, Ran Xueyi noticed that, aside from the driver, there was another man in the backseat.

But it wasn't her husband.

It was an unfamiliar man.

The man, noticing her inquiring eyes, smiled amiably and said, "Apologies for the sudden actions from the men earlier. We were just in a rush to ensure you left the airport with us." He sounded proper and gentlemanly; fooling anyone might not be difficult for him. But Ran Xueyi had grown familiar with the kind of danger that swirled in his eyes. It was the same kind as those people who worked and lived in the underworld. Struggling and resisting them might be the right decision if she wanted to escape, but Ran Xueyi knew that even if she wanted to, she couldn't do it. If her suspicions are right, these men will take her to where Alina is. Rather than prolonging the process of her objective in coming there, why not shorten it since the enemy has already reached their hands to her?

Hence, Ran Xueyi didn't pull out the gun hidden in her body or contact Song Yu Han when the unfamiliar man had given her a couple of chances since they got in the car. "Will I meet your boss when I get to our destination?" Her sudden question seemed to have given the man a surprise. Out of all the scenarios he conjured in his mind prior to their meeting, this one totally blew everything up.

Instead of being afraid, asking answers from him, resisting, and even feigning calmness, this woman, whom their boss specifically wanted to bring to their base, was asking whether she would meet him or not. Just as if she were asking whether it'll rain today or not. Whichever his answer may be, it didn't matter to her at all.

"You will," he said.

Then, after a long pause, the man asked her, "Aren't you curious about anything? I may not be my boss, but I can answer some of your questions." That made Ran Xueyi raise her eyebrow. But she politely refused. "Your answers might not be the ones I'm looking for." After saying this, she turned to look at the window and the strip of lights as the car raced through the night, obviously not wanting to give him any more of her attention. Not at all disheartened, the man tapped his index finger on his knee and also looked away. However, his mouth moved as he said, "My boss may be violent, but he isn't an executioner." Was this his way of telling her that the man who abducted Alina didn't want to kill? But who does he not want to kill? As soon as she thought of this, Ran Xueyi didn't relax and wished she could touch the gun tucked underneath her clothes for some comfort.

♣♣♣

Just a minute after Ran Xueyi got inside the car and they drove away from the airport, a group of black cars and an Aston Martin DBS stopped in front of the airport, and a group of men dressed similarly to the men who escorted her out came out. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After looking around, the men returned to report to the Aston Martin, where Song Yu Han was seated inside. "Sir, she's not here." Andrew bowed his head low. He was no longer able to hold his head high as soon as they realized that the wife of their boss was nowhere inside the airport.

A prolonged and suffocating silence lingered in the air. Andrew wished his boss could yell and lash out at him, but his boss' way of expressing his anger was completely different. "Investigate and find her." Song Yu Han's face held no expression as he instructed his subordinate. "If my wife isn't found within ten minutes, your feet will no longer serve a purpose, will they?"

Gulping, Andrew nodded. "There certainly isn't, sir!"

After he said this, Andrew turned away to order the others to search far and wide. Even if they have to dig six feet under, they must, for as long as they can, find the madam. Fortunately, not even a few minutes later, they got a lead as to where Ran Xueyi disappeared.

Returning to Song Yu Han's side, Andrew reported, "She was escorted inside a Bentley Continental, sir. There are only 3 families in Russia who can drive that car. And according to the CCTV camera facing the front of the airport, they are heading north."

Song Yu Han listened as the Aston Martin smoothly raced through the road. Although he looked emotionless on the surface, the sweat forming on his lower back and palms was a clear sign of anxiety and fear for Ran Xueyi's life. He left when the sun was still out and headed to the airport early, but because of a road accident, which was normal during the winter, he and his men were delayed for a while. Now, thinking about it, the road accident might not be as 'normal' as it may seem.

As for whether it was planned to delay him or perhaps, even completely kill him, Song Yu Han didn't have the time to waste on contemplating this.
