so I care about you a lot. Therefore, I did something to show that I care…" The little imp spoke for quite some time but still didn't get to the point.Summer started getting impatient: "Hey, just spit...Chapter 989: The Kidnapped Old Lady

The reason for confirming the kidnapping was that Liu Meng received a video and an audio recording. The video was short, showing Ms Ning being confined in a room. Although she wasn't tied up, she could only walk around inside the room and couldn’t leave. The voice on the recording sounded quite strange—it didn't sound like it came from a real person.

"Liu Meng, if you want to see your mother return home safely and intact, then you must ensure that Jiang Xiaoyi leaves Mu Yang County unharmed. If there's even the slightest imperfection in her condition—such as an abscess on her head—I can guarantee that your mother will also end up with several holes in her head. Jiang Xiaoyi is currently at Mu Yang Hospital, and I hope she can be discharged soon; when she leaves the hospital, it'll be the day your mother leaves this room." These were all the words from the recording, just as Liu Meng said, she had been threatened.

"Little rascal, what should we do Mom has been kidnapped!" Liu Meng was somewhat anxious. Although she seemed to wander around aimlessly and care little for anything, when it came to her own mother being in trouble, she couldn't help but worry. Even though she hadn’t been home frequently these days, she still cared deeply about her mother. During the sixteen years she had spent unconscious, the person who most often accompanied her by talking at her bedside was her mother.

"Don’t panic. First, I need to find this idiot." Xia Tian wasn't fazed by the situation and immediately called Fairy.

The call took a while before it went through, then she heard groggy voice: "Honey, why are you calling me during the day I’m sleeping!"

"Stop sleeping. Otherwise, I’ll come over and spank your bottom." Xia Tian said irritably.

"Ah! Honey, I'm awake now!" Fairy was clearly scared, then quickly said: "Right, right, honey, are you asking about that Yi Zhiyan Actually, I wanted to tell you the news yesterday evening, but your phone wasn’t picking up. It’s not my fault!"

"Did you find the idiot named Yi Zhiyan" Xia Tian asked.

"Husband, I couldn't find him!" The little imp sounded a bit embarrassed. "I searched through many databases and looked up everyone related to Jiang Xiaoyi, but there's no one named Yi Zhiyan. It seems like this person doesn't exist at all."

"Then forget about it for now. I'll send you an audio clip; see if you can identify who the speaker is," Summer didn't blame the little imp.

Summer quickly hung up and sent the recording to the little imp, while also consoling Liu Meng: "Sis Meng, don’t worry. I’ll find your mom soon."

"Bad boy, should we go look for that wicked woman Jiang Xiaoyi" Liu Meng asked instead. "She’s really awful. She tried to harm me before and now she even had someone kidnap my mom!"

"Don’t rush it. We’ll settle accounts with her after we find your mom," Summer said after some thought.

As soon as Summer finished speaking, the little imp called back.

"You found out who spoke so quickly" Summer was a bit puzzled by this speed.

"Husband, I can't identify the speaker," the little imp said awkwardly on the other end of the line. "Because this recording isn’t spoken by a person—it's generated by a computer."

"Computers can speak too" Summer asked with some surprise.

"There are software programs that can read out loud what you type. I could figure out which one it is, and then look up the IP addresses of those who have downloaded this software. But husband, I feel like just using this method alone would be hard to find out who did it. Do you have any other information" The Fairy said quickly.

Summer was a bit dizzy but understood the last sentence and replied, "I have a video clip that I can send you."

"A video That's great! Send it to me fast. A lot of information can be analyzed from a video." The Fairy said hurriedly: "And also tell me the phone number used to send over this video so I could see if there’s anything I can find out."

Summer told the Fairy her phone number and sent the video clip, then hung up and continued waiting for news.

"Hey brother, how's it going" Dai Jin finally asked when he saw Summer stop calling.

"I'm waiting for my wife to find out who did this. Once I know who it is, I'll teach that idiot a lesson." Summer casually said.

"Brother, I also inquired about Yi Zhyan and heard that he’s quite skilled but no one seems to have actually seen him," Dai Jin spoke up: "If you can't find him immediately, why don’t you follow his demands first and save the person before dealing with other matters."

"Right, Little Devil, why don’t you heal the evil woman first and rescue my mom Once she’s saved, we could turn that ugly woman into a monster!" Liu Meng added.

"Let's wait for now," Summer didn't want to give in. "Sister Meng, don’t worry, if Fairy hasn’t found out who this idiot is by tonight, I’ll go rescue Jiang Xiaoyi the Ugly then, what do you think"

"Alright!" After pondering for a moment, Liu Meng agreed, "Little rascal, you must save Mom tonight. Once you rescue Mom, I'll treat you to something delicious tonight."

As she spoke, Liu Meng pointed at her chest, where the steamed buns that Xia Tian最喜歡吃的大饅頭 were.

Xia Tian immediately became excited; he had to eat those big buns tonight!

This time, the little fairy didn't call right away. After waiting for ten minutes or so, Xia Tian suddenly remembered something else: Big Fairy Wife hadn't called him yet!

He finally dialed Zhao Yujie's number this time. However, he soon realized that the voice on the other end of the line was saying, "Sorry, the user you are trying to reach is currently turned off."

"What’s wrong!" Xia Tian felt a bit downcast; why did Big Fairy Wife's phone turn off

He tried calling multiple times but still got the same message. He had an urge to go over to the villa, but then his phone rang again. This time, it was from an unknown number.

"Hello, who is this" Xia Tian answered the call.

"Hello Mr. Xia, I'm Zhao Mingchao," a respectful voice came through the line; it was in fact the new Secretary of the County Committee of Mulian County.

"Why did you call me" Xia Tian asked with a hint of confusion.

"Mr. Xia, the eldest Miss asked me to inform you that she has returned to Beijing due to an emergency," Zhao Mingchao said in a polite tone.

"She's gone back to Beijing" Xia Tian was taken aback. "Why didn't she tell me herself and had you call instead"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I don't know the reason either. The eldest Miss left about half an hour ago, and just a few minutes ago, she called me to ask me to relay this message to you." Zhao Mingchao's voice carried a trace of unease; he didn't know exactly what was going on between Xia Tian and Zhao Yujie, but his intuition told him that something wasn't quite right.

"Alright, I understand," Xia Tian felt rather depressed and hung up the phone immediately. He then tried calling Zhao Yujie again, only to find her phone still turned off.

"A wife who likes to sneak away isn't a good wife! Next time when we're in Beijing, I'm definitely going to give you a beating!" Xia Tian silently vowed; he needed to discipline this big demon-wife of his until she behaved as well as his Xiao'er wife did.

At the same moment, on a highway several dozen kilometers away from Mu Yang County, a luxury car was being driven by a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses. She leaned back in her seat, seemingly lost in thought.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon at the Central Hospital of Mu Yang County,

"Ah... No, this isn't me, it's not me..." A woman inside one of the hospital rooms repeatedly screamed out, then suddenly broke a mirror and picked up a shard, attempting to cut her wrist.

Two black-garbed men quickly grabbed her hands and called the doctor over. After injecting a sedative into the woman, they managed to stabilize the situation temporarily.

"Damn it, where's that bastard Xia Tian Why hasn't he arrived yet" One of the black-clad men complained as the doctor left.

"Who knows But since Mr. Yi said Xia Tian would come to save her, he definitely will. Whatever Mr. Yi promises never fails," replied the other man.

Just as they were talking, the hospital room door was pushed open again and a man and woman entered. Upon seeing them, the two black-clad men instinctively took a step back because they knew that this couple was Xia Tian and Liu Meng.

Although these two hadn’t been tortured by either of them, just looking at Jiang Xiaoyi lying on the hospital bed made their hearts race in fear. The once beautiful actress now looked like an ugly monster to them.

"Hey! I’m here to treat this ugly witch; you two get out!" Xia Tian glared at these two black-clad men.

Although they were a little scared, the men didn’t leave: "We must see with our own eyes that Miss Jiang is cured by you."

"I don’t like anyone watching when I’m treating someone!" Xia Tian glared at them angrily. "Do you believe I can make both of you look just as ugly as her"

Xia Tian was in a bad mood because he had to treat Jiang Xiaoyi, the ugly witch. The little devil had just called him and said she couldn’t find the kidnappers or figure out where Ning Laomu was being held; she was trying other methods but it might take some time before there were any results.ually distinguished. However, his facial expression appeared unusually gentle, giving others a sense of easygoingness."Mingguang, you’ve returned early," the stern man didn’t turn to look back; his vo...
