Chapter 42: Cover And Distraction

Crap!

With Qiu Xingyu in one arm and holding Qiu Xingyuan’s hand in the other, Qiu Tong hid in the corner of the villa, hiding from the guards who were quietly searching.

After observing the terrain, she realized that the only way to leave was through the living room where the lieutenant was!

Qiu Tong rolled to the other side, trying to investigate if there were any other routes, but unexpectedly met Jin Yang’s gaze.

He frowned slightly, his eyes flickering with surprise as if he was wondering why she was here.

“Shh!”

Qiu Tong pressed her index finger against her lips and shook her head, indicating for him to keep quiet.

The lieutenant sensed his gaze and turned his body—

Qiu Tong quickly crouched down!

“Your pets seem to be very restless. Why don’t we go take a look?”

Jin Yang only hesitated a moment before he spoke. Taking the lead, he strode up to the second floor, diverting the lieutenant’s attention.

The first lieutenant naturally didn’t dare to let him know that there were a couple of kidnapped children in the villa. He quickly followed him and said that he had a few bottles of fine red wine, inviting him to taste them.

Qiu Tong pushed the door open and pushed Qiu Xingyuan out of the door. She turned around to look at Jin Yang and gave him a grateful wink.

It seemed like she had wronged a good person!

If she were to meet him again, she would definitely think of a way to repay him for his help!

Jin Yang inadvertently turned around and was dazed by the sight.

The image of Qiu Tong’s eyes repeatedly replayed in his mind. That sense of familiarity assaulted him once more. He tried to recall where he had seen her before, but the sharp pain in his mind quickened his breathing and he winced.

Startled, the lieutenant held him. “Are you all right, Sir?” he asked.

Jin Yang adjusted his breathing and shook off his arm. In a weak voice, he said, “I have something on today. I’ll try your red wine another day!”

His footsteps were hurried. He wanted to run out to find out if they had met before!

But where was she?

There were only a few patrolling guards, who seemed to be looking for something.

“…Who is she?”

Jin Yang rubbed his temples. Every time he saw her, he seemed to be reminded of something, causing a headache!

Why?

Qiu Tong took advantage of the disruption to bring the two children to meet up with Qiu Xingqiao, who was hiding in the bushes. She hacked the door access system again and sneaked out through the opening.

She and the three children ran quickly without looking back.

It was not until they ran out of the villa’s vicinity that they dared to stop. They bent over and panted heavily.

Qiu Xingqiao furrowed his brows and said to Qiu Xingyuan, “Elder Brother, I’m sorry. Back then, I…”

Qiu Tong patted him on the head, forcing him to retract his apology. “It’s not your fault, why are you apologizing? Besides, you came out to pass the news to me, they won’t blame you, right?”

Qiu Xingyuan’s face was impassive. “You are just stating the obvious, aren’t you?”

Qiu Tong, “…”

In the villa, the first lieutenant received news from his subordinates that the two children had gone missing. He was so angry that he smacked the table and growled at them, saying that they were a bunch of useless good-for-nothings who couldn’t keep the two children locked up!

The secret service agent woke up from his unconscious state and ran to him to beg for forgiveness.

“It was a woman who came to save them! I fought with her and her skills are pretty good!”

After the secret service agent finished his report, the first lieutenant ordered all his guards to search the entire city for them. They must capture the children again!

When they reached home, Qiu Tong locked the door firmly and put in place a few simple mechanisms that would alert them to intruders. She turned her head and saw Qiu Xingyu, whose eyes were filled with admiration, opening her arms to hug her.

“Mommy, you’re amazing!”

This time, even Qiu Xingqiao nodded. “It looks… pretty awesome!”

However, Qiu Xingyuan bit his lip and raised his head to stare at her with his stubborn little face. He deliberated over his words and asked, “Did you really not know that we were kidnapped? Did you betray us like last time?”

Qiu Tong was exasperated.

At this point, he was still worried that she would betray the children?

She really did not know if she should praise Qiu Xingyuan for his vigilance or feel ashamed that she had yet to gain his trust!

However, what the former owner of her body did to them had created deep scars in their hearts, and that would require time to heal…

Qiu Tong could sense Qiu Xingyuan’s anxiety and stiffness. She smiled and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t lack money now. Besides, investing in you is much more worth it than selling you!”

“I’m still waiting for you guys to study and become successful in future, so that you can take care of me in my old age! I’m so smart, I won’t invest in a lost-making venture!”

Although her head was full of schemes, she had denied that she was in cahoots with the lieutenant in the villa. Qiu Xingyuan heaved a sigh of relief. His shoulders drooped as though he had just taken a pill to calm himself down. He tried to coax Qiu Xingyu to sleep.
