Luo City. City Lord Mansion.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shuhua said tremblingly, "Old Bi, our son has been kidnapped."

The couple had only this precious son and placed all their hopes on Bi Yucong.

Whether it was money, property, or the continuation of life...

Even though genetic technology is advanced now, they could create another or a group of little Bi Yucongs anytime they wanted.

However, the years of companionship had formed an emotional bond.

Thinking of their son falling into the hands of those vicious bandits, she felt chilled to the bone, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.

"I heard it."

Bi Qingqiu, after all, was the lord of a city, of high rank and status, and had experienced many storms.

He was also very concerned about his son's safety, but since they were willing to actively call, it proved there was room for 'negotiation.'

In life, all one seeks is 'interest.'

"I wonder if it was Yucong who offended someone outside, leading the bandits to harbor greed. What should we do now?" Ye Shuhua asked, her husband's calm demeanor somewhat influencing her emotions.

"Wait." Bi Qingqiu said, "Didn't they say they would come to visit? That proves we have what they want. Whether they want money or property, we should agree to it..."

Bi Qingqiu thought it clearly, money is external to oneself.

As long as he is in this position, he can have as much as he wants...

As the lord of Luo City, he had enough chips to bring to the table.

"That's good. That's good." Ye Shuhua nodded repeatedly.

"But what if what they want isn't money or property..."

"Then what do they want?" Ye Shuhua asked in confusion.

"Luo City."

"Are you saying... the people who kidnapped our son are bandits?"

"Who else, in this city, would dare touch my son other than them?" Bi Qingqiu said with a grim face.

Ye Shu's heart began to sink again.

The bandits had just arrived at Luo City's gate, and Yucong had an accident. Even as a woman who stays at home all day chanting Buddha and not concerning herself with worldly affairs couldn't believe it had nothing to do with the bandits.

But if he truly fell into the hands of the bandits...

That would be a group of man-eating beasts.

------

The beasts came quickly.

Two hours past noon that same day, while the sun was still blazing overhead, they came to visit.

And it was Bi Qingqiu who dispatched his own driver to personally bring them in.

Without Bi Qingqiu's word, they couldn't come and go freely from the City Lord Mansion, let alone step through its doors.

At least, that was what Bi Qingqiu believed.

One was tall, one short—one fat, one thin—resembling the Two Generals of Hum and Haw.

They indeed were the Two Generals of Hum and Haw beside Tang Fei, coming from the Ghost Palace: Lin Hai and Li Dezhu.

Luo City's strategic position is incredibly important, and as the city's lord's son... Bi Yucong's existence was very significant.

This was an action plan made after Netherworld Intelligence Group investigated information about Luo City's military and political leaders.

Who let him flirt around nightclubs? If he was like Qin Jianyi and Shen Qingping, serving as a leader in the military, they wouldn't have had a chance to touch him even if they wanted to.

Flies don't land on seamless eggs...

Spit, spit, spit, Bi Yucong is the fly.

"I've seen Lord Bi," Lin Hai greeted Bi Qingqiu with a smile.

For some reason, after being by the Lord's side for a long time, he habitually imitated the Lord's trademark smile.

Whether in a dangerous situation or when strategizing, just squinting his eyes and smiling...

Hey, it gave him style.

Bi Qingqiu and his wife sat on the sofa without any intention of standing up to greet them.

Why be polite with these kidnappers?

"If there's something to say, say it." Bi Qingqiu looked at Lin Hai, asking, "Was it you who kidnapped our child?"

"Absolutely true." Lin Hai said confidently.

"How can you prove it?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Hai fished out a small box from his pocket and handed it over, smiling, "Go ahead, open it."

"..."

Bi Qingqiu didn't want to open it.

The couple had a faintly bad feeling.

This scene... seemed like they had seen it somewhere?

After the kidnappers take someone's family, before extorting ransom, first, send a finger to prove their identity:

Real. Kidnappers.

It was shown in some really old movies and shows.

Ye Shuhua couldn't wait, stood up, snatched the wooden box, and quickly lifted the lid.

Well, just as they expected, inside was indeed a finger...

"Yucong..."

Ye Shuhua's face turned pale, her body staggered and collapsed onto the sofa.

Bi Qingqiu also got angry, sternly scolding, "What do you want? Just say it, and we will agree. How can you harm a child's body without a word?"

"With your way of handling things, how do you expect us to cooperate? Young man, this isn't how things are done."

"This is the driver's finger," Li Dezhu said with a blank expression.

Glanced at Lin Hai; this guy's way of doing things was becoming more like the Lord...

It wasn't just Lin Hai; other brothers in Ghost Palace also started speaking and acting more bandit-like.

How pure and lovely they used to be, all the young men and women?

"Driver?" Bi Qingqiu looked perplexed.

"Young Master Bi's driver was also taken by us." Lin Hai said with a smile, "After being kidnapped, he dared to swear and attack us... so we cut off one of his fingers."

"..." Bi Qingqiu.

"..." Ye Shuhua.

You should say so earlier, who cares about a driver's life?

Before this, they didn't even know the driver was kidnapped too...
