“Don’t hurt him! Please, this child is innocent; his name is Baby Chu, and he’s not the child you’re looking for… The one you’re looking for is me, right?”

Meng Qingxue pleaded relentlessly, but the men paid no attention to her.

The two men closed and locked the car door. One took the passenger seat as the other got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

When she saw the car slowly start to roll away from her, she climbed up with great effort and attempted to catch up while limping.

“Baby Chu! Baby Chu…”

She cried out with all her might as the vehicle sped mercilessly out of sight!

“Baby Chu…”

As she kept running, desperation welled up in her and nearly consumed her.

Even as the car left her far behind, the woman ran with ragged gasps. After staggering a few more steps, her stamina finally gave way. Her eyes turned hazy and, as her head swirled in a pool of darkness, she soon lost consciousness in the rain.

Not far away, there came the sound of car sirens.

It seemed that a large fleet of Nissan cars were heading toward the village.

Nissan cars bore the mark of the military!

The leader of the entourage was an Audi A8 with high beams. When the driver saw a woman lying on the muddy ground not far ahead, he immediately reported, “Mr. Mu, there seems to be a woman on the ground in front of us!”

“Stop the car!”

“Understood!”

The car quickly came to a halt.

The line of cars behind it also braked and stopped.

The chauffeur got out and opened the backseat door. As Mu Yancheng alighted from the car, someone astutely opened and held up an umbrella for him.

He did not intend to turn up tonight at first, but he could not put his heart at ease. Worried that his silly woman was determined not to return, he decided to come personally to fetch her. He would bring her back, by hook or by crook!

After he got down from the vehicle, he saw the figure of a woman, covered in mud, lying on the road under the high beams. The moment he saw the familiar figure, he was startled into action and hurriedly held her in his arms.

The woman’s miserably pale and mud-covered visage sprang into his eyes when he flipped her back over.

“Qingxue!”

Sizing her up, he could see that she was in her pyjamas with stains of mud. What was more alarming was that she had turned cold, which made one fear for her life!

“Qingxue! Qingxue!”

What happened?

Why did she faint here for no apparent reasons!

Wasn’t she supposed to take good care to deliver their child safely in this unknown village?

How did she end up in such a sorry state?

“Qingxue… Qingxue…”

There was not a moment to lose, and the man immediately took her in his arms and hurriedly got in the car as he called her names repeatedly.

“Hospital! To the hospital—now!”

His face revealed anxiety and panic, which he had never experienced before. As he held the woman in his arms, he caressed her face in heartache. With his heart pounding furiously, he muttered anxiously, “Please don’t scare me, huh? I’m late; it’s my fault. It’s my bad… Don’t scare me…”

He had not realized that he could be so afraid of losing someone!

By his side, his assistant cautiously tried to reassure him. “Sir, don’t be too nervous. We’ll send her to the hospital straightaway!”

Alas, the man did not seem to hear the assistant’s consolation as he embraced his woman tightly. His body started to tremble because of fear.

He must not lose her!
