Li Haoran was frustrated. He looked up and said, “How do I explain this to Dad. That time Nian Nian got into an accident, he fainted from the shock. If he knows about what is happening… ugh!”
Fang Zhili frowned and sighed. “Don’t worry, hubby. Aren’t you quite close to Mayor Sun? Get him to help with his wide network of friends. There’s no way a person just disappears into thin air. Moreover, Nian Nian is a playful girl, maybe this is part of her prank?”
Would Li Beinian play this kind of prank?
Li Haoran didn’t believe that she would.
However, Fang Zhili’s words did make sense.
He thought about it and nodded. “I’ll get him to help.”
After Li Haoran went to make the call, Fang Zhili took her phone and hid in the flower room.
She called Li Xueqing, who quickly picked up.
From her tone, it seemed like she was having a facial mask on.
“I heard that Li Beinian went missing?”
“Yes. The rumors got around so quickly?” There was a tinge of happiness in her solemn voice. “I wanted to tell you later, but I didn’t expect you to hear about it yourself.”
“This is a big matter. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Fang Zhili could not believe it. “Was it your doing?”
Li Xueqing chuckled in delight as she whispered, “It’s someone else’s idea. Remember Lin Kerou? I was merely a coordinator.”
After explaining to her, she took off her mask egotistically and said, “She got me into trouble so many times and stole my spotlight. It was time for her to disappear.”
Hearing Li Xueqing’s words, Fang Zhili was shocked.
She looked around to make sure she was alone and cautioned her. “You’d better be careful. Don’t lose yourself in the process. Lin Kerou is very cunning. Don’t end up as her chess piece!”
She got a little angry and added, “You didn’t discuss this with me beforehand. You better not be used by Lin Kerou!”
“I won’t.” Li Xueqing smiled smugly. “I covered myself well. The money to the kidnapper was from her account. It has nothing to do with me.”
If the police were to investigate, she would just deny everything. Once the police traced the accounts, everything would point away from her.

However, the Li family wasn’t the only one to hear of the news.
At the Mu Donglin’s office.
“What?” Mu Donglin frowned and looked up. “Who was kidnapped?”
“It was… your fiancèe, Miss Li Beinian,” the Secretary said politely, albeit with slight hesitation. “Rumors are that she was kidnapped at noon. She’s still missing now. A police report has been made. From the surveillance camera footage, she seemed to have gone into the war zone.”
Thud!
The fountain pain on the table fell onto the floor.
“The war zone? Why would she be kidnapped into the warzone?”
That area was chaotic. Apart from the Xia Country’s army, there were mercenaries from other countries as well. Rumors were that the Yi Country army was also there. Everyone was at war with each other…
If it was really a kidnapping case, to kidnap her there now meant that…
The motive was simple—the perpetrator wanted her dead!
1This wasn’t the first time. Even though the perpetrator was not found the previous time, it was aimed at the Li Family.
Could it be that this time…
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He stood up and yelled uncontrollably, “Send someone to find her now! No matter what it takes, I want her safely back here!”
The secretary was shocked. It was her first time seeing Mu Donglin rage.
She hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
