Chapter 957: Wipe Out (2)
Mrs. Zhao heard the words, a flicker of doubt crossing her mind, but being much more astute than her daughter Fan Meijiao, she didn’t show it. Instead, she spoke with a crying tone, "Big brother, then I’ll leave first. You must find a way to save Meijiao. She is my life-blood!"
Zhao Fengnian rubbed his temples, which were swollen with a headache, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Big sister rest assured, Meijiao is also Mother’s life-blood, and my own niece. I will certainly find a way to rescue her from the villain’s grasp. Please, you should go now!"
Though Mrs. Zhao was worried about her daughter, she had to rely on her elder brother to find people. Seeing that Zhao Fengnian showed no signs of worry, she dared not stay any longer. After speaking with Madame Zhao, she left, seemingly soulless.
At that moment, Madame Zhao had also recovered her composure and asked Zhao Fengnian anxiously, "Son, could it be that the villain who kidnapped Meijiao has done something improper?"
Zhao Fengnian’s forehead was beading with sweat, his face revealing unease, "Mother, if the villain were after money, he probably would have contacted us for a ransom after taking Meijiao. But an entire day has gone by and no one has come with a message. I’m afraid the villain is an enemy of our family, targeting my son."
It was no wonder Zhao Fengnian thought this. There had indeed been someone who had tried such a thing against him in the past but had not succeeded. The villain had been suppressed by Zhao Fengnian’s tactics, but the memory of that incident still frightened him deeply when he thought of it today.
Madame Zhao was clearly informed of the situation and became terribly frightened, frantically asking, "Who could it be? Who could it be this time? After taking Meijiao, might they target someone else from our family next?"
