Chapter 298 The Little Warrior Outwits the Big Bad Guy
On a sunny midday, Zhang Zirui, Fu Xingyao, Liu Nianchen, and Liu Nianxi, four little ones, carrying their schoolbags, skipped and hopped along their way to school like four cheerful little deer. Wildflowers dotted the roadside, tempting Fu Xingyao to reach out and pick them every now and then.
"Xingyao, hurry up, we'll be late if we dawdle any longer!" Zhang Zirui urged, kicking at the pebbles at his feet. As the eldest brother in this group, he felt responsible for taking care of his younger siblings.
Liu Nianchen and Liu Nianxi held hands, following closely behind Zhang Zirui like two little shadows. "Brother, how much longer until we get to school?" Liu Nianxi asked, tilting her little head up.
"Almost there, we'll be there in a little while," Zhang Zirui replied with a smile.
But little did they know, danger was creeping closer. A middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap suddenly darted out from a nearby alley and grabbed Liu Nianchen, who was walking at the back. "Kids, come with me," he said gruffly.
The sudden turn of events terrified the children. Liu Nianchen burst into tears, and Liu Nianxi followed suit. Fu Xingyao was even more frightened, her face turning pale and her whole body trembling.
Although Zhang Zirui was terrified inside, he forced himself to remain calm, stood in front of his younger siblings, and shouted, "Let go of my brother! You big bad guy!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Little brat, mind your own business, or you'll regret it."
Zhang Zirui took a deep breath, secretly winked at his younger siblings to signal them not to be afraid, and then started thinking of a solution. While stalling for time, he mentally planned how to ask for help. "What exactly do you want? We don't have any money for you," Zhang Zirui asked, mustering his courage.
The middle-aged man said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and come with me." With that, he pulled Liu Nianchen forward and called for the other children to follow.
As Zhang Zirui slowly moved forward, he quietly reached into his schoolbag and found the children's smartwatch his mother had prepared for him. Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's inattention, he secretly pressed the emergency call button and dialed his mother, Li Shiqing's, number. As soon as the call connected, he lowered his voice and said, "Mom, we've been kidnapped by a bad guy. He's taking us to some unknown place."
Li Shiqing was tidying up the house when she heard her son say that. Her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the cup she was holding. "Zirui, don't be afraid. Tell Mom where you are," she asked, trying to remain calm.
"I don't know, I wasn't looking where I was going. Mom, please come and save us!" Zhang Zirui said, his voice trembling with tears.
"Okay, baby, don't be afraid, Mommy will think of something right away." Li Shiqing hung up the phone and immediately dialed her younger sister Liu Yixin's number. "Yixin, something bad has happened! Zirui and the others have been kidnapped by bad guys. I just received a call from Zirui, and I don't know their exact location yet," Li Shiqing said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yixin panicked as well. "How could this happen? What do we do now? Right, tell Qicheng quickly."
Li Shiqing quickly contacted her younger brother, Liu Qicheng. Liu Qicheng was in the middle of training his students in soccer when he saw his sister's call. Thinking it was an emergency, he answered and heard the devastating news. "What? How could this happen? Sis, don't panic. I'll call the police right away, and then we'll figure something out together," Liu Qicheng said calmly.
Here, the middle-aged man led the children to an abandoned factory. The factory was filled with a pungent smell, and the surrounding area was piled with debris, making it look gloomy and terrifying.
"All of you, stay still and sit on the ground," the middle-aged man said menacingly. Then he took out his phone and dialed Li Yuan's number.
Li Yuan was leisurely drinking tea at home when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number. "Hello, who is this?" she asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, Li Yuan, long time no see." A familiar yet annoying voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression changed drastically. "Wang Qiang, it's you? What do you want?"
“Your precious grandchildren are all in my hands. If you don’t want anything to happen to them, prepare 100,000 yuan and send it to the abandoned factory in the west of the city,” Wang Qiang said smugly.
Li Yuan was trembling with anger. "Wang Qiang, you bastard! If you dare to lay a finger on the children, I'll never forgive you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and raise the money quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite." Wang Qiang hung up the phone after saying that.
Li Yuan slumped onto the sofa, frantic with worry. She never imagined her ex-husband would do such a thing. But she quickly calmed down and dialed her daughter Li Shiqing's number. "Qingqing, that bastard Wang Qiang kidnapped the children. He told me to prepare 100,000 yuan and send it to the abandoned factory in the west of the city."
"What? It's him! Mom, don't go, it's too dangerous. We've already called the police, they'll figure something out," Li Shiqing said.
But Li Yuan couldn't sit still. "No, I can't let anything happen to the children. I'll go check on the situation first. You all come with the police right away." With that, Li Yuan hurriedly left.
Back at the factory, Zhang Zirui felt incredibly distressed seeing his younger siblings crying in fear. He whispered to them, "Don't be afraid, little brothers and sisters. Mom and the others will definitely come to save us. We must be strong and not let the bad guys get away with it."
Fu Xingyao sobbed, "But I'm so scared, brother."
“Don’t be afraid, your brother is here. Let’s think of a way together, and when the bad guys aren’t paying attention, we’ll run away,” Zhang Zirui said, clenching his little fist.
Liu Nianchen stopped crying. "Brother, I'm not afraid anymore. I want to run away with you."
Just then, Wang Qiang walked over and said, "Hmph, you little brats, don't even think about running away. Just wait for your families to bring you money."
Zhang Zirui mustered his courage and said, "You big bad guy, my mom and the others will definitely catch you, you'll be going to jail!"
Enraged by Zhang Zirui's words, Wang Qiang walked over, intending to teach him a lesson. But just then, police sirens wailed outside. Wang Qiang's expression changed; he hadn't expected the police to arrive so quickly.
It turned out that after Liu Qicheng called the police, the police quickly located the abandoned factory using the GPS tracking on Zhang Zirui's smartwatch. Li Shiqing, Liu Yixin, and Liu Qicheng also rushed over with the police.
Wang Qiang panicked. He grabbed Liu Nianxi and held a knife to her neck. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"
Liu Nianxi was so frightened that she started crying again, "Mommy, save me..."
Seeing this, Li Yuan was extremely anxious. "Wang Qiang, let go of the child! If you have any problems, come at me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, tell the police to leave, and get me another car, or I really won't be polite," Wang Qiang shouted frantically.
At this critical moment, Zhang Zirui suddenly thought of a plan. He quietly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang was startled by the sudden attack and instinctively dodged.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Nianchen forcefully broke free from Wang Qiang's grasp and ran to Li Yuan's side. Zhang Zirui also pulled Fu Xingyao aside. Seeing this, the police immediately rushed forward and subdued Wang Qiang.
"Babies, are you alright?" Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin ran over crying and hugged their children.
“Mom, we’re okay,” the children said, crying.
Liu Qicheng also came over, "That's great, it's good that everyone is alright."
Looking at the children, Li Yuan felt a mix of emotions. "Thanks to Zirui, that clever little devil, otherwise it would have been dangerous today."
Zhang Zirui scratched his head sheepishly, "I just didn't want the bad guys to succeed, and I wanted to protect my younger siblings."
The police officer walked over and praised, "The children are all very brave, especially you, Zhang Zirui. When you encountered danger, you not only didn't panic, but you also tried to ask for help and fight back. That's remarkable."
After this experience, the children have grown up a lot, and they understand the importance of protecting themselves and helping each other. Li Yuan's family also cherishes each other more. This harrowing experience has become an unforgettable memory for them, and it has strengthened their belief that as long as the family works together, no difficulty is insurmountable.
