Chapter 1004 Package
Chapter 1004 Package
Cheng Yunchuan took the package and signed. He returned to the room and handed the package to Jiang Mubai. "Look, what is it?"
Jiang Mubai took the package and opened it carefully. Inside was an exquisite wooden box. When he opened the box, he found a photo and a letter.
The photo showed a baby, pale, lying in a pool of blood. The contents of the letter made Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan feel as if they were falling into an icy cave...
"Is this... my child?" The baby in the photo is exactly the same as the one in the ultrasound photo, Jiang Mubai asked with a trembling voice. There was only one sentence in the letter: Leave Cheng Yunchuan, otherwise, this will be the fate of your child.
Jiang Mubai's fingers were shaking so much that the photo almost slipped from her hands. The baby in the photo was so similar to the outline of her unborn baby in the ultrasound image that she couldn't deceive herself. The threat in the letter was brief but powerful, hitting the softest and most vulnerable part of her heart.
Cheng Yunchuan snatched the letter, his face livid, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out. "Damn it! How dare they..." He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracked, and veins bulged.
Jiang Mubai tightly grasped Cheng Yunchuan's arm, her nails almost digging into his flesh. "Yunchuan, I'm afraid... our child..." She was speechless, tears welled up in her eyes, soaking Cheng Yunchuan's sleeves.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, stroking her back, trying to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, Mubai, I won't let them succeed. I will definitely protect you and the child." His voice was low and firm, but it couldn't hide the fear and anger deep in his heart.
He raised his head and swept the room with cold eyes, as if he wanted to pull out the enemy hiding in the dark. "The game begins." He said coldly, with a hint of bloodthirstiness in his tone.
Cheng Yunchuan immediately strengthened the security measures at home and arranged a 24-hour personal bodyguard for Jiang Mubai. He used all resources to track down the sender and vowed to find out the mastermind behind the incident.
However, the other party seemed to have planned it in advance. The shipping address was fake and the courier was just an ordinary hired man, so no useful information could be found at all.
A few days passed, and the investigation made no progress. Cheng Yunchuan became increasingly anxious. He paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, his eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Jiang Mubai's condition was getting worse and worse. She was shrouded in nightmares and fear all day long. She lost her appetite and became thinner day by day. Cheng Yunchuan saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he could do nothing.
That night, Cheng Yunchuan accompanied Jiang Mubai to sleep as usual. He gently held her in his arms, feeling her gradually steady breathing, and his heart was a little more at ease.
Suddenly, Jiang Mubai woke up with a start, trembling all over, gasping for breath. "Yunchuan, I...I dreamed..." She grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.
"Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, it's just a nightmare." Cheng Yunchuan comforted her gently, stroking her back, trying to calm her down.
"No, it's not a nightmare... I dreamed... that the child is gone..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, filled with fear and despair.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, trying to give her a sense of warmth and security, but found that his body was also shaking slightly.
At this moment, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the room. Cheng Yunchuan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Cheng Yunchuan, I want both your woman and your child!" A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of teasing.
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale in an instant. He held the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he almost crushed the phone. "Who are you? What do you want to do?" He asked through gritted teeth, his voice full of anger and fear.
"Want to know who I am? Haha, let's play a game. I'll give you some clues. If you can find me, I'll let your woman and child go. But if you can't find them..." The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then continued, "Then you can just wait to collect their bodies!"
The phone was hung up, and only the busy tone remained in the room. Cheng Yunchuan stood there blankly, and the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a dull sound. He felt that his world collapsed at this moment, and there was darkness in front of his eyes...
Suddenly, he heard a scream coming from the bathroom. He snapped back to his senses and rushed to the bathroom, only to see...
Cheng Yunchuan pushed open the bathroom door, and what came into his sight was an empty bathroom, with only the water from the shower still flowing and the mist of water vapor filling the air. His heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Mubai!" He roared, his voice echoing in the empty room, but no one responded. He stumbled out of the bathroom and searched around the room, but there was no sign of Jiang Mubai.
Fear was like an invisible hand, tightly strangling his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He rushed to the window and pulled open the curtains. The dazzling sunlight shone in, but it could not illuminate the darkness in his heart.
He saw a black car parked downstairs, the engine still running, the taillights flashing red, like a bloodthirsty monster, quietly waiting for its prey in the dark.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly contracted as he realized that Jiang Mubai had been kidnapped.
He rushed downstairs like crazy, but only saw a blurry car disappearing at the end of the street. He collapsed to the ground helplessly, tears of despair streaming down his face.
"Mu Bai..." He murmured in a low voice, his voice hoarse, as if it was a wail coming from the depths of hell.
He picked up the phone with trembling hands and called his assistant. "Check it for me! Find Jiang Mubai at all costs!" His voice was cold and resolute, with a hint of madness.
At the same time, Jiang Mubai was blindfolded by the kidnappers and stuffed into a bumpy car. She felt as if her body was about to fall apart, her stomach was churning, but she didn't dare to vomit, so she could only suppress the nausea and fear.
She didn't know where she was taken, nor what was waiting for her. The only thing she could do was to pray silently, praying that Cheng Yunchuan would find her, and praying that she and her child would be safe.
Suddenly, the car stopped. Jiang Mubai was roughly dragged out of the car and pushed into a dark room.
The blindfold was torn off, and the dazzling light made her unable to adapt for a moment. She could only squint her eyes and try hard to identify the surrounding environment.
This was a simple warehouse, the air was filled with the smell of mold and dust. A burly man sat on a chair, holding a cigar in his hand, puffing smoke, staring at her with cold eyes.
