It turned out to be Cheng Shi. He said that he found two very suspicious men near the small garden. They were sneaky and wore hats and masks.
Tang Mei's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately followed Cheng Shi to the stairs on the third floor.
Through the window, Cheng Shi pointed at the two black figures not far away and whispered: "Old madam, look, it's around the corner of the abandoned driving school. Isn't it suspicious?"
Tang Mei looked in the direction Cheng Shi pointed, and sure enough she saw two mysterious figures appearing and disappearing, seemingly watching them.
"Let's go over and have a look."
So she and Cheng Shi went quietly.
When they were a few feet away from the two men, Cheng Shi suddenly shouted angrily: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Two men in casual clothes were startled by the sudden sound.
The car keys fell to the ground with a clatter.
One of the men quickly took off his mask and explained: "Hello, we are here to look at houses and want to buy a house nearby."
Tang Mei looked at them coldly.
She didn't need to think too hard, she knew that these two people were lying, so she winked at Cheng Shi.
"It's okay, don't wander around here!"
After Cheng Shi finished speaking, he followed Tang Mei and left. But when they returned to No. 66, Tang Mei found that Tang Xiaowan was missing from the master bedroom on the third floor.
When she left just now, she was not awake. If she encountered danger, she might not have the ability to resist at all.
Tang Mei's expression suddenly changed, and she realized that she had been tricked, so she called out to Granny Cai and Cheng Shi as she went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, only Cheng Shi's response was heard.
"Old madam, Grandma Cai and the others are in the kitchen. They seem to have been poisoned. Do you need to call the police?"
"No, don't call the police yet. Contact Leng Lingxiao immediately and tell him that Tangtang is missing. He may have been held hostage about five minutes ago."
Cheng Shi: "..."
"Hurry up, call quickly."
"Oh, okay, call now."
…
At this moment, there is a faint aroma filling the kitchen, and the sunlight shines through the window on the hot casserole, making it look warm and quiet.
However, Granny Cai and Wang Meijuan were lying motionless on the cold floor.
Their hands were placed weakly on their sides, and their faces showed a look of pain, as if they had experienced something before falling into coma.
Tang Mei saw this and quickly opened the window.
"Cheng Shi, come here and help."
When Cheng Shi heard this outside the door, he immediately hung up the phone with Leng Lingxiao and walked quickly into the kitchen.
"Old madam, Mr. Leng said to check the surveillance along the way immediately. Are Granny Cai and the others poisoned? Is the young lady in danger? Did they attack the gang at night? Or should we call the police?"
"Don't worry about it for now. Come on, move them to the sofa in the living room first."
"Oh, good, good old lady."
Cheng Shi didn't say anything more and quickly followed the instructions.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Mei carefully checked the pulse and breathing of Granny Cai and Wang Meijuan.
Cheng Shi watched anxiously.
During this period, he kept looking at his phone, waiting for news from Leng Lingxiao.
All kinds of guilt and self-blame flooded into his heart. He thought that if he hadn't taken Tang Mei to see the two suspicious men, such a thing would not have happened and Tang Xiaowan would not have disappeared.
This reminded him of the day of the night attack.
The two things are exactly the same.
"Old madam, I remember the appearance of those two people just now, otherwise..."
"It's true that I was poisoned, but it's okay. You don't have to blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you." Tang Mei comforted softly, then quickly went upstairs to get a small white medicine bottle and handed it directly to Cheng Shi, "Two pills for each person. Give them some light salt water to drink.”
"Yes, madam." Cheng Shi nodded and hurriedly took the small medicine bottle.
Immediately, Tang Mei started to look around.
She realized that the entrance door, back door, and attic were all locked, but the study window was fully open.
She fell into the trap, twice in a row, and both times were simple and easy.
A few minutes later, Granny Cai and Wang Meijuan slowly opened their eyes and gradually regained consciousness. They looked at the worried Tang Mei and immediately had a very bad feeling.
"Old madam, where is the lady? Is the lady okay?" Granny Cai asked with trembling lips.
Tang Mei took a deep breath and tried to answer in a calm tone: "It's okay, don't worry. Tangtang will not be in any danger for the time being. Leng Lingxiao has already gone to check the surveillance. I believe there will be news soon."
A trace of despair and self-blame flashed in Granny Cai's eyes, and she said in a weak voice: "I should have noticed it, but I didn't. I was careless."
Tang Mei's heart was hurt, and she empathized and comforted her: "This is not your fault. Don't worry, Tangtang will not be in any danger."
Granny Cai held back her tears and nodded: "Old madam, oh...I'm sorry!"
Wang Meijuan on the side couldn't help sobbing. She quickly took a few napkins and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Grandma Cai, don't worry, the lady will be fine. We have to trust Mr. Leng, he will bring the lady back safely. The lady is so smart and will protect herself."
"Well, I know, it'll be okay."
Although everyone encouraged each other, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy and the silence was suffocating.
No one spoke anymore, everyone frowned.
"Okay, don't worry. Tangtang is not in danger. They just want to cause chaos."
Tang Mei's eyes were blazing and her voice was sonorous and powerful. It was like a shot in the arm, calming down everyone's panic.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Wang Jinghui's rapid and vigorous knocking on the door suddenly came.
"Tang Mei, Tang Mei..."
Cheng Shi put down the water glass and quickly opened the door.
After Wang Jinghui came in, he went straight to Tang Mei without saying a word: "Are you okay? Are you injured? Why don't you call the police? Is this a kidnapping? How much do they want? Don't be afraid. It's okay. I'm here."
Looking at Wang Jinghui who was sweating profusely, Tang Mei felt a little at a loss.
In these years, she had never experienced any kind of storms and waves, but at this moment, her defenses were broken by a few words, and her eyes filled with tears.
She stood still, her mind was in chaos, and she lost her usual composure and calmness.
"Tang Mei, Tang Mei, are you okay?"
"It's all my fault, but it was chosen at this time... so what if it's a few days late! Jing Hui, do you think I'm too selfish? I had to choose it last night, no matter what, it's all my fault!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I blame you?" Wang Jinghui quickly comforted him, but after a pause for a few seconds, he suddenly grabbed Tang Mei's arm and looked at her steadily, "What did you call me just now?"
There was a burst of ecstasy in the man's heart. Although it was a bit untimely, he was extremely excited.
He heard correctly. The woman did not call Mr. Wang with polite words, nor the blunt Wang Jinghui, but the long-lost Jinghui.
"You...you finally admitted it?"
Tang Mei shook her head, her eyes full of anxiety: "Where is Wang Junchen? He designed to take away Tangtang."
"No way, he's at home right now!"
"It's him, believe me, it's really him. He wants to use Tangtang to blackmail Li Zishen."
As soon as Tang Mei finished speaking, the anxious Cheng Shi walked quickly to her, clenching his fists and making a crunching sound.
It looked like he was trying to eat someone.
"Old madam, so the young lady was kidnapped by Wang Junchen. Did he let someone kidnap the young lady?"
