Later that night, after having dinner together with everyone, Li Bingbing and Little Melon went out to buy ice cream.
Li Bingbing borrowed Xia Sinian's car and drove out of the Xia manor. By the time they reached an ice cream parlor, a white cargo van parked beside them
When Little Melon and Li Bingbing went out of the car, the van's door slid open and a man captured Little Melon.
"Scream and he'll die." One of the men said while pointing his gun to Little Melon.
Little Melon's eyes became misty, he tried squirming and resisting that man, "Let go!"
"If you want money, I can give you that. How much do you want?" Li Bingbing quickly said as she went towards them. Despite her calm facade, she was panicking inside since a gun was being pointed to Little Melon. "Let him go, he's just a child.
Another man went out the van, "Get in."
Li Bingbing pursed her lips, she has no choice but to get in. The moment she did, the other man followed and closed the van's door. "Let's go."
The bulky man that has Little Melon placed the little boy beside Li Bingbing. The moment he freed Little Melon, the little boy instantly hugged Li Bingbing and cried: "What's happening, sister Bingbing?"
Li Bingbing held him in her arms protectively, "I don't know, cupcake... But don't worry, everything will be fine."
The man who was sitting beside her while pointing a gun on her waist spoke up, "Give me your phone."
Li Bingbing pursed her lips, she glared at the man before she took her phone out of her pocket. "Kozu, Au secours."
The man furrowed his brows with the words Li Bingbing said. "What did you say?"
Li Bingbing shrugged, "I was just saying that you're handsome." She handed him the phone.
'Au secours' means 'help' in French and with that word, Kozu was programmed to activate the tracker that was in her bracelet and send her location to everyone in her contacts. Though, there were only three people in her contacts, they were Xia Sinian, Ren Shiyuan, Xia Meilin.
Just like what she expected, the man threw her phone out of the car to avoid being tracked but Li Bingbing was smarter than that. She turned to Little Melon and wiped his tears away, "Don't be scared, cupcake. I won't let anything happen to you."

Xia Sinian barged in his sister's room. "They're in trouble!"
Xia Meilin stopped brushing her hair and Lu Yifeng placed his laptop away. "What?" They both asked at the same time.
"Have you seen your phone?" Xia Sinian asked his sister.
"Wait..." Xia Meilin got up and went to get her phone from her purse. She received a message, when she opened it, a map appeared and a small red mark was moving and it shortly came to a stop.
Xia Meilin started panicking when she saw this. Little Melon was with Li Bingbing when they went out!
"What's wrong?" Lu Yifeng asked.
"Li Bingbing and Xiao Gua is in trouble!" Xia Sinian exclaimed in panic.
----
Li Bingbing and Little Melon's wrists were tied together.
Little Melon was crying out loud, he was scared and he wants to go home. Li Bingbing was trying to calm him down but it was no use.
One of the man suddenly snapped out because of Little Melon's loud cries. It was the same bulky man who captured Little Melon earlier. "SHUT UP!"
"Mello wants to go home!" He continued crying. "Momma! Dada!"
The bulky man went and kicked Little Melon, "I said SHUT UP!"
Because of the strong kick, Little Melon ended up crouching in pain as he coughed out blood. The other men didn't stop him, instead they ignored him. They were cold-hearted men that shows no mercy to women or kids.
"YOU SON OF A B*TCH! HE'S JUST A CHILD!" Li Bingbing shouted angrily.
"So what?!" The man glared coldly at her as he placed his foot on top of Little Melon's head. "Do you want to be kicked next?"
"Calm down, boss." A tall man said as he patted his companion's back but just one glare from the bulky man, he shut up.
Li Bingbing gritted her teeth in anger, "Take your f*cking foot off him!"
Little Melon was crying in pain and seeing how he was curled up on the floor brought pain to Li Bingbing. "If you want to kick someone then kick me! He's just a boy! Let him go!"
"Well, well, what a brave girl you are." The bulky man let go of Little Melon before he started walking towards Li Bingbing. "It will be a waste to kick someone as beautiful as you, why don't we have some fun instead?"
The tall man smirked at this. "Boss, can I also have her?"
The bulky man laughed. "Line up behind me!"
Despite the pain Little Melon was feeling, seeing how two big men cornered Li Bingbing, he tried crawling towards them. "Don't... Please don't hurt sister Bingbing..."
Li Bingbing pursed her lips, she knows that she was in big trouble right now. She turned to Little Melon, she just promised earlier that she won't let anything happen to him but he ended up getting hurt. "Cupcake, close your eyes."
