A virtual princess? She's a real princess!
Chapter 12 Everyone is gone
Xiao Jia checked on it every ten minutes. The second time she went in, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
Bian He was the only one in the bed; Bian Xiao was nowhere to be seen!
Xiao Jia dared not let Bian He sleep here anymore. She forced herself to stay awake, hugged Bian He, and ran outside.
When Xiao Hao saw Xiao Jia hurriedly carrying Bian He out, his heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he did.
"Young Miss is missing! I have to go tell the Grand Master! You must keep an eye on the Young Master!" Afraid of waking Bian He, Xiao Jia tried her best to control her voice and said in a whisper.
Xiao Hao was so shocked by the news that he couldn't speak. His eyes widened, but he still held Bian He firmly and walked quickly behind him. At this moment, he felt that no place in this tea room was safe. The closed doors were like black holes with gaping mouths, ready to swallow the young master in his arms at any moment.
Joyce, standing at the door, saw the flustered Xiao Jia and Xiao Hao carrying Bian He, but not Bian Xiao. Finding this strange, she went over to greet them without a second thought.
"you--"
Xiao Jia and Xiao Hao had no interest in Joyce at all; their young lady had gone missing in the teahouse! Who knew if anyone in the teahouse had malicious intentions?
Without paying any attention, Xiaojia and Xiaohao went straight into the tea room.
Bian Zhansheng and Fu Yizhao were still enjoying their tea when they saw Xiao Jia run in. They were about to scold her for not staying by Bian Xiao's side to take care of him when...
"Master, the young lady has gone missing!"
Bian Zhansheng nearly choked, but managed to steady himself. He stood up, leaning on the table, and took a few shaky steps forward. Pointing at Xiao Jia, he demanded, "What happened! What do you mean she's gone!"
Xiao Jia's eyes were already brimming with tears, but she still quickly recounted what had happened. Finally, she said, "Master, when I went in just now, only the young master was on the bed, but the young lady was gone!" After saying that, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears.
When Joyce heard the opening line about the missing person, she realized she should find another job. Bian Sheng's great-granddaughter had been kidnapped at their teahouse, so the teahouse was definitely going to have to close down.
On second thought, despite wearing high heels, she quickly ran to the lounge and called the manager on the way.
Once inside, Joyce searched around and quickly found a note on a small table. She picked it up and instructed the waiter behind her to watch the room and not let anyone else in, then headed towards the tea pavilion.
Joyce handed the note to Bian Zhansheng and Fu Yizhao. "Mr. Bian, look, this is a note left by the thugs on the table in the lounge." Bian Zhansheng quickly took it and looked at it, while Fu Yizhao glanced at Joyce.
Joyce was still a little out of breath, and her hair was slightly disheveled on her beautiful face, but she remained calm and composed standing next to Bian Zhansheng.
Fu Yizhao glanced at it and then focused his attention back on the note, leaning closer to look at it.
The note contained only one sentence: "Prepare ten million dollars."
"Only ten million dollars, he can have it if he wants it, just don't hurt Xiaoxiao." The words on the note indicate that this is a kidnapping case.
Money is nothing compared to Bian Xiao. Let alone ten million dollars, could the Bian family not come up with a hundred million dollars? But the safety of the child is far more important than money.
The thought that the criminals might be lenient with food and drink, or worse, like the kidnappers of old, who might leave Xiaoxiao with missing limbs, brought tears to Bian Zhansheng's eyes, and he could barely stand. His Xiaoxiao!
“Bian Sheng, something’s not right.” Although Fu Yizhao was also anxious, he was not his own granddaughter after all, and was much calmer than Bian Zhansheng, who was directly involved. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong.
"How so?" Bian Zhansheng asked, as if grasping at a lifeline.
"Call the police first," Fu Yizhao said to his assistant. Joyce quickly added, "We've already called the police."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yizhao turned to Bian Zhansheng and said,
"Bian Sheng, think about it. If this bandit was only after money, why would he only take one child, and Xiao Xiao at that?" Although it's the 21st century, both in mainland China and Hong Kong, the focus is still on male offspring, especially when kidnapping and extorting wealthy young men.
Leaving Bian He, the grandson of Bian He, behind instead of kidnapping him, and instead kidnapping Bian Xiao, is highly illogical.
Upon hearing Fu Yizhao's words, Bian Zhansheng immediately realized what was happening and calmed down considerably. He then noticed that his legs were a little weak and prepared to sit down. Joyce saw this, stepped forward to support Bian Zhansheng, and then silently stood behind him.
Fu Yizhao also sat down and gave another reason, "Moreover, this matter must have been premeditated. If it was aimed at your Bian family, I'm not saying this, but kidnapping your family and only asking for ten million is strange. They always ask for more. Ten million is a lot, but I think it's odd and illogical."
Indeed, just two days ago he spent over 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a mansion, which would amount to 20 million US dollars. The kidnappers went to great lengths to successfully abduct his own granddaughter, all for 10 million US dollars.
"What are those cops doing? I pay taxes and donate money every year without fail, why haven't they arrived yet?" Bian Zhansheng also realized that something was wrong with everything, but Xiaoxiao was missing, and he was extremely anxious, only hating that the police were taking so long to arrive.
No sooner had the manager called the police than the West District Supervisor immediately dispatched Major Crimes Unit A to investigate. "Zhang Yihua, I'm entrusting this case to you. You must rescue Miss Bian."
Hong Kong media are currently unaware that if Ms. Bian can be rescued quickly, the police can hold a press conference, which would boost public confidence in the police force.
However, if they can't be rescued, the pressure on the Bian family, the public, and the media will likely fuel the flames. The oversight team is having a headache; these kinds of kidnapping cases involving wealthy individuals are the most difficult to handle.
"A case has arrived!" Zhang Yihua returned to his office and immediately dispatched officers.
"Yes, sir!" The officers in the office put down their lunchboxes, grabbed their equipment, and set off.
"At 10:54 a.m., it was discovered that Ms. Bian, the great-granddaughter of Mr. Bian Zhansheng, had been kidnapped in the Yunshuizhai lounge." After getting into the car, Sergeant Zhang immediately provided the basic information.
"A kidnapping case!" A long-faced male police officer in the back row said excitedly.
"The kidnappers left a note on the lounge table demanding ten million dollars, but no other information."
"Sir! I have a question!" a policewoman asked while taking notes.
"Jiahui, you say..."
“High-end tea rooms should have a lot of security. Is there an inside agent?” Jia Hui said.
Zhang Yihua nodded. "Jiahui is right."
Luo Jiahui smiled happily, her two dimples looking sweet. The long-faced male police officer gave her a thumbs up.
Jia Hui called Manager Zhang, saying they shouldn't waste time on the way and should learn as much as possible.
Jia Hui nodded
"Okay, okay, we're almost there," he said, hanging up the phone.
“Zhang sir, there’s definitely something fishy about this kidnapping case. The manager just said that the young master of the Bian family was sleeping in the lounge. If they didn’t kidnap the young master, they kidnapped Miss Bian instead.”
Furthermore, when they entered the tea room, the servants and the tea room manager checked the room thoroughly to make sure no one was there. They went in every ten minutes, and the person was gone the second time.” Jia Hui summarized the newly received information, “The assailants haven’t sent any information to the Bian family other than the note.”
After they finished speaking, the group arrived at the tea room.
