Chapter 2012 The child is missing
After saying this, Yunxiang fainted completely. Her hand that tried to pull the other person's trouser leg was kicked away without hesitation, and the wound on the back of her head kept bleeding.
Those people didn't care about her life or death at all and just left with the child.
When Liu Xiuyun rushed back, she saw Yunxiang lying in the yard with blood all over her face. Her face changed drastically: "Yunxiang, child!"
The man immediately ran to the rocking chair, but it was empty except for a rattle that the child played with, which seemed to still retain the warmth from the child's tight grip.
"Child, my child is gone..." Liu Xiuyun collapsed on the ground as if struck by lightning. However, Zhong Zhoufeng was calmer than her and quickly checked Yunxiang's breath.
After making sure that the person was still breathing, he said anxiously, "Miss, Yunxiang is still breathing. The most urgent thing is to save Yunxiang so that we can find out what happened."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuyun finally regained some of her thoughts, trotted over, and hugged Yunxiang tightly: "Zhong Zhoufeng, go to the inn quickly and find Madam. Only Madam can save her."
Seeing that Liu Xiuyun was almost on the verge of a breakdown, how could Zhong Zhoufeng dare to leave at this moment?
He pressed her trembling shoulders hard, sorted out his messy thoughts, and then spoke: "Miss, calm down. The young master was taken away by someone at this time. It must be that the Qin family is forcing us to show up."
"They may have discovered that Qin Tianci is missing and want us to hand him over. Don't be silly, take good care of Yunxiang. I'm going to find my wife now." As he said this, he stared at Liu Xiuyun for a long time, until he saw her nod in agreement, then he hurried away.
Not long after, Zhong Zhoufeng brought Chen Changli and Wan Shufang over. After treating Yunxiang, Zhong Zhoufeng told them his guess.
"Is the Qin family so cruel?" Wan Shufang pursed her lips, and recalled the scene when Old Man Qin came to beg for mercy that day, and she seemed to understand it.
"It seems that the Qin family is waiting for us to take action now."
"I'll go now." Liu Xiuyun loved her son so much that she immediately wanted to break into the Qin Mansion to save her child, but was stopped by Wan Shufang.
Her brows were full of sharpness. After thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke: "You don't have to go. Deliver the letter and say that you want to exchange the child for Qin Tianci and his wife."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changli instantly understood what Wan Shufang meant. She was afraid that if Liu Xiuyun went there, the Qin family would arrest her directly, and they would have more bargaining chips at that time.
Obviously Liu Xiuyun understood this and nodded immediately. After she finished writing the letter, Chen Changli gave the letter to An Yi and asked him to deliver it to the Qin Mansion.
That night, an anonymous letter was thrown into the Qin Mansion. It said that they wanted to exchange the child for Qin Tianci and his wife. Seeing this, Old Master Qin sneered and said indifferently: "Now you know you are anxious. When you treated us like that, did you ever think about this day!"
"Go, write them a reply now, tell Liu Xiuyun to bring someone to replace the baby, and deliver the letter to Liu's house in person. We are not like them, hiding our true colors."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man tore up the letter. Looking at the guard leaving, a smile appeared on his old face, as if he was sure of victory.
Now that they have a child, they are not afraid that Liu Xiuyun will not let him go. They might even use this as a threat to blackmail Liu Xiuyun!
Old Master Qin had a plan in mind, and his eyes were full of malice. After the letter was sent back to Liu's house, the servants of the Qin family did not leave. Instead, they stood there provocatively and said they would help take the letter back.
For the sake of her children, Liu Xiuyun had no choice but to endure it. Finally, after discussing with Chen Changli, they decided to meet at the next place to exchange hostages.
After making up her mind, Liu Xiuyun returned to the yard and threw the rewritten letter to the servant: "Go back and tell your master that since none of us are willing to let him go, let's exchange addresses and meet at the Cliff of Broken Souls at noon tomorrow."
As she said this, she picked up the broom and looked like she was going to chase the person away. The servant curled his lips and went back in shame.
Perhaps knowing that this was their biggest concession, the Qin family readily agreed and just waited for the next day. Because of the depression in her heart, Liu Xiuyun secretly tortured Qin Tianci and his wife in the middle of the night and beat them beyond recognition.
It was dawn. When Chen Changli and Wan Shufang came to find her, she breathed a sigh of relief and took the two men, who were lying on the ground like dead dogs, to the Cliff of Broken Souls.
After waiting for a while, they saw a group of people from the Qin family coming. The Qin family security guard was holding a crying child. Hearing the crying, Liu Xiuyun felt distressed instantly.
"My child, my child..."
She rushed over to hug the child, but was stopped by the guards. Old Master Qin looked at her coldly: "Liu Xiuyun, I treated your child with good food and drink, but you treat Tianci like this?"
"Then should I beat this kid half to death and then return him to you!" Old Master Qin was really angry, especially after seeing Qin Tianci's bloody appearance, all his anger burst out in an instant.
Liu Xiuyun was worried that he would really hit the child, so she hurriedly shouted, "No, Ping An is also your grandson, why are you making things difficult for him!"
"You love your son, so why do you embarrass my son?"
Old Master Qin also glared at her. This quarrel woke up Qin Tianci, who was originally half-dead, and he opened his eyes weakly.
When he saw the Qin family and others, he instantly became alert, but unfortunately his hand was grabbed by the secret guard and he couldn't struggle free.
"Father, Father, save me!"
"Tianci, don't be afraid." Old Master Qin comforted him, then frowned and looked at Liu Xiuyun: "I changed the child back for you safely, but Tianci became like this. You must give me an explanation."
"I…"
Liu Xiuyun wanted to say something but stopped herself. She had no idea what to explain to the Qin family, but she was afraid that they would hurt the child.
She hesitated and couldn't speak for a while. Seeing her silence, Qin Tianci seemed to think of the torture he had suffered in the past few days. Hatred burst out of his eyes. He suddenly broke free from the secret guards with strength and pounced on Liu Xiuyun like a madman.
"Liu Xiuyun, if you dare to hit me, go to hell."
He yelled angrily, his bloodshot eyes widened as if they were about to explode, and his hands pinched Liu Xiuyun's neck.
As the two of them struggled, they reached the edge of the cliff in an instant.
"Oh no, Xiuyun, be careful!"
"Tianci, don't go over there, there's a cliff ahead!"
Wan Shufang and Old Man Qin spoke at the same time, but as the screams died down, the two people over there also fell off the cliff together in the struggle. The only sounds in their ears were the shrill screams and the whistling wind.
It all happened so suddenly that even Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were unable to react. It was not until the surroundings became quiet and the sound of Madam Qin crying was heard that everyone finally came to their senses.
"Chen Changli, let's go down and look for him."
"Okay, An Yi, gather the people and search along the cliff. We must find the person alive or the body dead."
"Yes, master." An Yi hurriedly took the order and went to send a signal, then followed Chen Changli and Wan Shufang to find people.
None of the Qin family members had any martial arts skills and did not dare to go down the cliff, so they could only send a few skilled guards to follow them.
