“What risks are there? That’s the most feasible solution right now! Is there really a better option at hand?” Yu Yiwei said sternly.
“Didn’t you also see it for yourself? An Xiaoning has placed a spell at the bootcamp and set boundaries around the premises. You can’t break the spell either. If I were to walk through it and try to take the children away forcefully, I’ll definitely suffer a huge loss in power. I don’t think it’s worth it.”
“I said that I wasn’t confident, not that it’s impossible. Besides, even if I really can’t break the spell, don’t you realize there’s another solution? It’s now extremely difficult for An Xiaoning to conceive again. In fact, it’s near-impossible. Their sons mean the world to them. As long as we get a hold of those two, they’ll definitely raise the white flag. By then, we’ll have hidden the children in a place that no one can find. So what even if Xiao Chenyang tries to deal with you? Even if he sees you, there’ll be nothing he can do to you. After all, you’re the only one who’ll know where the children will be, aren’t you?”
Feeling a little agitated, Xihou Jiaping said, “Ever since my failed attempt at killing them in the hospital, An Xiaoning has put another spell around Wei Ni Estate. I’m afraid they’d find out as soon as I try to enter.”
“That’s why abducting the children is an easier option right now. We’ll threaten them using the children. By then too, the drugs that I have been feeding Xihou Ling would begin to take a toll on his body. We’ll be able to defeat them. I’ve thought about it carefully. If we don’t make the first move, they’ll be the ones to kill us first. Either they or we have to die. I can’t be magnanimous and show mercy anymore!”
Staring at her, Xihou Jiaping said, “The old you seems to be back.”
Yu Yiwei urged, “When are you going to take action?”
“Tonight.”
“Good, abduct those two children.”
“What about the adopted one…?”
“He’s still their son. Take him away too. We either go all out or not do anything at all. You shall see to it and handle the children as you deem fit. If it wasn’t so difficult to kill them, you and I wouldn’t have thought of touching the children at all. We were forced into this. From today onward, don’t contact me unless absolutely necessary. I can’t expose myself,” said Yu Yiwei, who had made up her mind.
“This is not a good plan. We don’t know if he’d be willing to give up his life for the sake of his children. It’s a huge uncertainty,” said Xihou Jiaping, finding that Jin Qingyan was no longer who he used to be.
“This is the best solution for us now. If one of them dies, it’d be a piece of cake for us to control their children. By then, even the Jin Corporation would be ours. As for Xiao Chenyang, we don’t have to worry too much about him. When we raided Xihou Ling’s residence in our previous lifetime, Xiao Chenyang couldn’t kill you even after he saw you again. But of course, that was because we hid ourselves as well.”
“…”

Ever since Jin Yiheng admitted to fancying Long Xiaoxi and declared that he would marry her when they grew up, Long Xiaoxi became even more dauntless.
Generally, she would sneak into the boys’ dormitory at night to sleep next to Jin Yiheng on his bed.
Long Wenlun was the one who’d help her enter.
Due to her constant pestering and begging, Long Wenlun had no choice but to concede and promise to open the door for her at night.
However, he also made it clear to her that if Jin Rongyan and Ji Gui were to find out, she would not be allowed to sneak into their room again.
Long Xiaoxi assented.
Needless to say, Jin Yiheng was well aware of it too. However, he was not too bothered by it since they were both children and he found nothing wrong with the two of them sleeping next to each other.
Long Xiaoxi managed to get what she wanted time and time again all thanks to him and to Long Wenlun, who constantly indulged her.
Tonight was no exception either.
Everyone went to bed at about nine o’clock in the evening.
Long Xiaoxi sneaked into the room again after her brother opened the door for her stealthily.
She was extremely careful with her steps and tiptoed toward Jin Yiheng’s bed.
She then climbed onto it and hugged Jin Yiheng, causing him to be jolted awake.
Upon the sight of her, Jin Yiheng went back to sleep.
After breaking An Xiaoning’s spell and crossing the boundaries, Xihou Jiaping knocked all of the children unconscious with a drugged handkerchief and placed Jin Rongyan into a large potato sack. When he tried to move Jin Yiheng, he discovered that the chubby Long Xiaoxi was hugging him tightly with all her might.
This fatso has already fainted and yet she can’t be separated from him at all. Is she a magnet?
He tried to separate them again, but to no avail. If she weren’t already unconscious, Xihou Jiaping would have just hit her to death.
In the end, he had no choice but to carry Jin Yiheng and Long Xiaoxi and to place them both into the sack.
The security alarm of the martial arts academy sounded one minute later. However, Xihou Jiaping had already abducted the three children successfully.
Xihou Jiaping was nowhere to be found by the time An Xiaoning arrived at the boot camp.
She immediately ordered for all the airports and terminals to be blocked.
However, it was all too late.
Xihou Jiaping had successfully left A City via a secret passageway and removed the GPS tracking devices on the children, according to the preconceived plan he had.
An Xiaoning received a text message from him more than an hour after her sons had gone missing.
The message read: “None of these would’ve happened if the two of you had just died that night in the hospital. Hua Jin, come to M Nation alone to meet me. If I find out that Xiao Chenyang or Jin Qingyan had come along with you, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to kill the three children too.”
Mei Yangyang and Long Tianze were both panicky and anxious the moment they heard the news of Long Xiaoxi being abducted too.
After hearing that An Xiaoning was planning to head to M Nation by herself, they objected to it vehemently. “How can you go alone? Sis, you’d be on their territory once you’re in M Nation. By then, you might not even be able to make it back, let alone the children,” said Mei Yangyang.
“But they also wouldn’t be able to return if I don’t go. Their goal is not for me to go alone. Their goal is for me and Qingyan to die. The very fact that they didn’t ask the two of us to head there together is a loophole in itself. Hence, I think Xihou Jiaping must have sent the children abroad while he has stayed behind. I’ve already texted Xiao Chenyang and he should be back soon. You two, stay at home with Qingyan. So what if I’m going alone? I’m not sending myself on a road toward death. I’m just doing it to save the children. Although I’m not certain if I’ll succeed, I don’t wish to sit back and do nothing.”
“But, Sis… why don’t I go with you?” said Mei Yangyang.
“He said that he wants me to show up alone.”
“How can you manage on your own…?”
“Cut it out. You guys shouldn’t have been implicated in this matter, and yet Xiaoxi has been abducted too. I’m definitely going, no matter what.”
