Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 579  "Where is she?" (2)

A minute later, three men in thick coats walked towards Ran Xueyi, who was now lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

One of them brushed off the hair that covered her face, and after confirming it was the target they were looking for, he pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke to it.

Moments later, three men in heavy coats approached her, now lying unconscious on the ground. One of them brushed the hair from her face, confirming she was the target they sought. He pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"We've secured the target."

"Good. You can all return now," came a distorted voice from the other end, the speaker's gender indiscernible.

After keeping his walkie-talkie, the man started commanding the other two. Then, he glanced back at Ran Xueyi and clicked his tongue. Being hired as a mercenary to kill someone was one thing, but to kidnap a woman and bring her to another location was another.

A man approached Ran Xueyi and started injecting her with some liquid.

Afterward, the second man unzipped a gray body bag and placed it beside Ran Xueyi before pushing her towards it, securing her inside.

"Don't zip everything. She might die from suffocation." The man who seemed to be their leader walked off after ordering.

"Call the others back. We're done here."

...

Evgenia and Alina weren't having a great time. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The moment they realized Ran Xueyi was gone, they immediately retraced their tracks and looked around.

But they could not find her.

And with the snow falling above their heads, whatever footprints she and the man who took her left were now all buried under.

They didn't relax, even though they couldn't find a single hint of where Ran Xueyi was.

They decided to go in different directions to look for her.

But just then, a scream was heard.

It was a scream that had seen horrible things.

And Alina didn't want to imagine it came from Ran Xueyi.

Thankfully, the voice belonged to a man.

 Soon, they each followed the direction of the voice and found a wolf scarfing down a corpse.

Seeing new prey, the now-fed wolf bared its fangs at them. But after growling a few times and lunging at them, the beast also did not have a good end.

Alina didn't stick with them as they regrouped. With a gun in her hand, she headed elsewhere to find Ran Xueyi.

She ran around the area and called for Ran Xueyi's name at the top of her lungs. She regretted listening to Ran Xueyi and leaving her side. Had she not left, the man wouldn't have found a chance to take her away!

Alina furiously wiped the tears that dripped down her face. What's the use of crying now?! If something happened to Ran Xueyi, she didn't know how she could live in this world, knowing it was her fault that Ran Xueyi got into this pandemonium.

How could she possibly face Little Zhanzhan if his mommy was gone?

"Ran Xueyi, you better be alive."

Alina wanted to search a bit more, but then she heard a commotion coming from the direction where she left Evgenia and his men behind.

Her breath was caught in her throat as she reached the area where she left them behind, only to be met with a chilling sight.

Evgenia was forced to stay on the ground, a net tangling above them. Around them were men in military uniforms who stood with their weapons at the ready.

But what made her blood run cold was the sight at the center of it all. Evgenia was on his knees, his blonde hair clenched tightly in the hands of an exceptionally handsome man.

She recognized him instantly—it was Song Yu Han.

…

A few minutes earlier.

Evgenia didn't stop Alina from leaving. He no longer has any right to do that after losing sight of Ran Xueyi.

Looking at the man who had been once a trusted subordinate, Evgenia's eyes glinted icily. He never thought there would be a day when he would be betrayed once again. And this time, by someone who had stayed beside him most of the time.

The world he lived in made his hands even filthier with the blood of his enemies, and betrayal was common, but he thought the man was worthy of his trust because he was family.

That right. The man whose face now couldn't be recognized by how mutilated it looked was his cousin. A family he took in the moment he became the head of the Volkov family.

Evgenia wiped the blood on his cheek. "Search carefully around. Since he's here, Ran Xueyi should've run somewhere close."

Just as his order landed, the low thrum of helicopter blades cut through every sound. Evgenia froze; his face turned upward toward the source of the light but he was almost blinded by the beam of light descending from the helicopter, shining on him and his men.

"Boss, be careful! They could be our enemy," his men reminded him.

Adrenaline surged as he aimed his gun at the helicopter. His finger tightened on the trigger, but before he could fire, a sharp whoosh filled the air.

A heavy net exploded from the helicopter, unfurling like a spiderweb.

Evgenia barely had time to curse as the net tangled around him and his men. They struggled against the thick ropes that held them captive.

He looked up just in time to see a ladder drop-down, swaying slightly in the wind. One by one, several men descended from the sky.

The last one landed with a loud thud, his boots crunching on the thick snow underneath his soles.

Evgenia could barely see through the bright light, squinting his eyes to get a clearer view of who these people were.

The boots now stood inches from his face before a gloved hand grabbed his hair, yanking his head back sharply.

The cold voice that followed sent a chill down his spine.

"Where is she?"
