Chapter 1459 Blame
Iris' beloved godson was in danger. Little Jun was more important than the conflict between her and Long Hui.
Long Tengfei then told Long Jian, who was still standing like an idiot outside the vehicle, "Stay in the company and look after it while we search for your nephew."
Long Jian wanted to go with them. He might not be close to any of his nephews but he would still be worried if something bad happened to any of them. Those were his nephews, blood-related ones, and he naturally cared about them.
But before he could insist on going with them, his father's pointed look stopped him. He could only withdraw with a reluctant sigh.
"Understood, President Long," he replied with deep regret. "I'll look after the company. Please find my nephew as soon as possible."
Long Tengfei nodded.
Long Jian looked at Iris and then reluctantly at Long Hui. "You two…be careful as well."
Iris nodded.
Long Hui was too distraught about his son and ignored him.
Soon, they drove away, leaving a conflicted Long Jian in the parking lot.
###
At a private resort outside the city.
When Iris and the others arrived, Jiang Ying Yue ran to her and bawled her eyes out. Iris hugged her friend, trying to comfort her when she also felt like bawling. However, she desperately controlled her emotions.
She must not collapse this time. Her godson needed her. Little Jun needed all of them.
She glanced at the living area and found that there were already several police officers interviewing Lin Yehan and the resort staff.
Following behind Iris, Long Hui also took in the scene before him. "Ying Yue…."
Jiang Ying Yue finally noticed her ex's presence. Her expression turned ugly, but she managed to control herself. Although he had hurt her very badly, he was still her son's biological father. He deserved to know what happened to their son. In between sobs, she told them how her son had been kidnapped.
The newly married couple, Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan, took Little Jun and spent their honeymoon together as a family at this resort.
They didn't want to go too far. They wanted to go somewhere relaxing and bond as a new family but still stay close to everyone in case any of their friends wanted to drop by. Of course, nobody among the couple's friends disturbed them on their honeymoon.
Who knew that someone would plot against them and kidnap an innocent child while they were out shopping for souvenirs?
Before the mother and son moved out of Dragon Palace, Iris and Jin Liwei offered to give their godson a dedicated bodyguard, but Jiang Ying Yue refused.
She was already a bodyguard herself and thought that she was enough to protect her son. In addition, she and her son weren't a famous family like Iris and Jin Liwei's family unit. In Jiang Ying Yue's mind, she, her son, and now Lin Yehan, were just an average family.
Now that Jiang Ying Yue thought about it, she regretted not taking Iris and Jin Liwei's offer back then. She and Lin Yehan would never have thought that something terrible like this would happen to Little Jun while they vacationed as a family.
Of course, Lin Yehan had assistants and staff who also acted like bodyguards but they weren't experts like Jin Liwei's security team. Lin Yehan's staff could deter normal wannabe thugs but couldn't guard against professional cold-blooded mercenaries or hitmen.
Why would he guard against this kind of frightening criminals? Although he was a wealthy tycoon, he was still essentially a farmer.
Lin Yehan was also drowning in guilt for not being thorough enough in protecting his new family.
After listening to what happened, Long Hui was initially stunned to learn that Jiang Ying Yue had married Lin Yehan. He had no idea. Nobody told him about it at all. Then he realized that it was because the couple was on a honeymoon and bought his son that Little Jun had been kidnapped.
Fury filled him. He rushed to Lin Yehan and moved to punch him in the face.
Lin Yehan was not a soft persimmon either who would just wait for someone to punch him. He dodged and was about to retaliate when Iris and Jiang Ying Yue, the two women, made their moves.
Jiang Ying Yue used her leg to sweep Long Hui off his feet. He fell on the floor with a hard thud.
Iris looked like she just swatted Lin Yehan's punch away like a fly. It didn't look serious in the eyes of the other people. They thought that Lin Yehan stopped himself after seeing Iris on his way to avoid hurting her.
Lin Yehan, however, stared at Iris in disbelief as he felt a throbbing pain in his arm.
The others were more focused on Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue. They didn't take a closer look at what Iris really did to Lin Yehan.
Long Hui quickly stood up and was about to attack Lin Yehan again but Jiang Ying Yue prevented him. The police officers finally reacted. They couldn't just allow a woman to do their job. They took over in restraining the crazed Long Hui.
"It's your fault!" Long Hui raged at Lin Yehan. "You can't even protect my son, yet you want to be his new father?! If something bad happens to my son, I'll kill you!!! I'll f*cking kill you!!!!!!"
"Stop it!!!" Long Tengfei roared at his eldest son. "My eldest grandson is kidnapped! Instead of searching for him, you're here recklessly throwing blame?!"
In a forced calm tone, he said, "Everyone, listen to me. Rescuing my grandson Little Jun is the most important right now. Fighting each other won't solve anything!"
Jiang Ying Yue immediately abandoned Long Hui to the policemen and ran to her husband's side. She positioned herself in front of Lin Yehan in a protective stance. She didn't even notice her actions. This was all her pure instincts as a long-time bodyguard.
Lin Yehan, however, gently pulled her to stand beside him. This silent but deliberate action told her that they stood equally as partners.
