Qiao Mei fell on the ground suddenly. The rapid loss of energy had pushed her body to its limits. Large beads of sweat dripped down her chin. In order to avoid Xia He spotting her, she had run out still wearing the thin hospital gown. Her body temperature was now dropping rapidly and her vision was starting to blur. However, she must persevere and return to the ward. She must bring the news to Eldest Brother and Xia He.

She had never expected Tan Jing to be the one who wanted to harm her. It seemed that it was time to take revenge for all those past grudges.

Xia He had mobilized the hospital’s security officers and they finally found

Qiao Mei in the back garden. Qiao Mei held Xia He’s hand weakly and said,

“Tan Jing… ask Eldest Brother to go and look for Tan Jing… quick…”

“What? Let’s go back to the ward first! Quick!” Xia He immediately carried Qiao Mei on her back and ran back to the ward with big strides. Qiao Mei’s consciousness was starting to fade as she repeatedly whispered the name “Tan Jing” into Xia He’s ear.

Xia He rushed to use the landline phone in Xia Fangs office to call Zou Mings office. She said agitatedly, “Zuo Ming, bad news! Our family’s child is missing!

Please mobilize a team to do a search!”

Xia Wen and the others were all out looking for the child and they would not have time to stop and check their pagers or call home. The guard team at home must have already been mobilized by Xia Wen. The only person she could count on now was Zou Ming.

“Missing child? The children from the courtyard house? I’ll send people to surround the area and do a search right now!” Zou Ming said immediately.

“No! It’s Qiao Mei’s third child! He was abducted from the hospital! Send your guys out in plainclothes! Don’t alert the enemy! The person who abducted the child is very likely a repeat offender! The child is in Tan Jings hands! In Tan Jings new house! It’s in the neighborhood next to Hai Bing Villa! The third unit on the third floor!” Xia He said.

“Alright, I’ll go and save the child immediately. Don’t worry.” After hanging up, Zou Ming gathered his subordinates to go to Tan Jings house.

Tan Jing sat on the sofa in the room and looked coldly at the child in Hao An’s arms. In order to prevent the child from crying, Hao An had specially given him a sedative so that he would not be able to wake up for a while. As for whether this sedative would have any detrimental effects on the child, he did not care as long as he could achieve his goal.

“This is the child you want. You have to hand over the money to get the goods,” Hao An said.

“Surely you have to let me check the goods before I make payment,” Tan Jing said with a smile.

Hao An smiled mockingly and said, “We don’t have such rules. The Huang family has collaborated with us for many years and we trust each other a lot. Don’t you know the rules?”

Tan Jings expression darkened. Although she was Mrs. Huang, no one accorded her the respect that came with the title and just saw her as a poser.

“Fine… I only have 40,000 dollars here. Someone will send the rest of the money to Ah Peng after I get the child checked out,” Tan Jing said.

“Mrs. Huang, don’t go against the rules of our industry. Since you can’t fork out that much money, we’ll send the goods to Mr. Huang. We’ll only do business with whoever can pay us the full sum,” Hao An said firmly.

If Huang Quan found out about this, she would definitely get a beating! She definitely could not let Huang Quan know about it! However, she really did not have that much money on hand. All she could afford was 40,000 dollars. She had even secretly sold many pieces of You Yu’s jewelry! You Yu had so much jewelry that she probably would not notice there were some missing.

“Fine! I’ll give it to you! The money is inside the room! Go in and get it yourself. Give me the child first,” Tan Jing said.

“Don’t play any tricks!” Hao An said.

“This house is only so big. I’m a pregnant woman, so where can I run to? It’s so easy for you to capture me,” Tan Jing said frankly.

“Hmph, at least you know where you stand.” Hao An handed the child to Tan Jing and went into the room with his partner to count the money.

Just as the two sides were bargaining, Zou Ming and his team had already reached the main door. They did a quick check on the number of people in the house and roughly where they were.

Once they were sure that the child was safe, they rushed into the house. Before Hao An could even react, Zou Ming had already pressed him down on the floor. The child was carried away by Zou Mings subordinates and Tan Jing was also handcuffed.

“Move!” Zou Ming roared.

They split up into two groups. Zou Ming rushed the child back to the hospital while the rest of his team escorted the criminals back to the police station..
