The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Rescued

When Yiyi and the others arrived home, Mr. Chu immediately asked, ”What exactly happened?”

Jiang Yizi recounted the events once more, finally saying, ”Dad, do you think it might be someone who has a grudge against our family?”

Mr. Chu dared not delay and promptly dispatched more people to investigate and search, but the results were not favorable, and by afternoon, the person was still not found.

At this point, Yiyi could no longer sit still; her complexion was cold as frost, and her eyes showed no warmth.

However, deep in her heart, there was regret.

In her past life, her mother had her accident a few days ago; she thought time had passed, and since both had come to Shangjing, nothing should happen again, yet her mother still encountered an accident.

Seeing Yiyi like this, Mr. Chu was somewhat surprised. He had thought this was a cute and lively girl, yet the reality was unexpected; in her current state, even he found it chilling.

”Mr. Chu, since the person hasn’t been found, I’ll go with them to continue the search. You all stay here and wait for news.”

Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Mr. Chu Zhang couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

Now, even Yiyi’s mode of addressing him had changed, clearly indicating the little girl had grievances against them.

But the news of the Chu family bringing Yue Jun back was never publicly shared, even their rivals wouldn’t know about it, which made today’s events baffling, leaving him stifled.

However, the accident happened after Yue Jun was brought back by the Chu family, so he could understand Yiyi’s blame.

”Yiyi, even if you want to search, you shouldn’t go alone. I’ll send someone to accompany you, otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”

”No need, I can handle it myself.”

Without a second thought, Yiyi rejected the offer, but as soon as she turned around, she saw the butler rushing in, ”Master, Ms. Yue Jun is back.”

Hearing this, Yiyi hurriedly stopped and excitedly asked, ”Butler Grandpa, has my mother really returned?”

”Yes, yes, she truly has come back.”

As he spoke, Ding Yuejun walked in.

Seeing her mother return unharmed, Yiyi’s eyes became a bit moist, she immediately ran forward, ”Mom, where did you go, why are you only back now,”

After saying this, Yiyi finally noticed the person beside her mother, and her face showed surprise, ”Gu Tingyu, why did you come with my mom?”

Speaking of it, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help saying, ”I told you earlier I had matters to handle here, so I have been in Shangjing these past days. Just this afternoon when I went out to meet a friend, I happened to see someone abducting Aunt Ding, and immediately tracked them down, seizing the opportunity to rescue Aunt Ding.”

”Yes indeed, this time thanks to Xiao Gu and his friends. If it weren’t for them, who knows where they would have taken me.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s expression gradually turned cold, ”Mom, do you remember who took you? If you saw them again, could you recognize them?”

”Those people all had their faces covered; I can’t tell who they were at all.” Ding Yuejun said with some helplessness, then puzzled, ”But I haven’t had any conflicts with anyone in Shangjing, nor do I know anybody; what’s their motive for kidnapping me, it’s really puzzling.”

Yiyi found it quite puzzling too, and the only thing she could think of was the Chu family.

Beside her, Gu Tingyu looked serious, ”Those people were trained and skilled, likely not typical kidnappers; fortunately, my friends were with me, which allowed us to successfully rescue Aunt Ding unharmed, otherwise it might have been difficult for me alone.”

At this point, Chu Gangyi looked at Gu Tingyu, his expression somewhat surprised.

”You... you’re Elder Gu’s eldest grandson, right?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu glanced at Chu Gangyi and then nodded, ”Yes.”

Now even the two elders of the Chu family were somewhat surprised, though the Chu family in Shangjing wasn’t a small family, it couldn’t be compared to the Gu family. Gu Tingyu had joined the organization early, so few people had met him. Chu Gangyi recognized him only because he had accidentally seen him once before.

”Mr. Gu, we really must thank you this time. Yue Jun was lucky to have run into you.”

Gu Tingyu shook his head, ”No need to thank me; even if it were an ordinary person being kidnapped, we would certainly step in to help, not to mention Aunt Ding.”

Upon seeing Ding Yuejun return safely, Jiang Yizi was relieved, listening to Gu Tingyu, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, ”Do you know Yue Jun?”

”Yes, we’ve known each other before.”

Hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, the Chu family members were indeed surprised; they hadn’t expected Ding Yuejun to have known Gu Tingyu.

As for Yiyi, she thoughtfully scrutinized Gu Tingyu, gaining a new understanding of his identity; though she knew Gu Tingyu was talented with a high-ranking position in the organization, she hadn’t anticipated his distinguished family background, esteemed enough to warrant enthusiastic and respectful regard from the Chu family.

It was then that Le Hua spoke, ”Now that it’s getting late, why not all of us enjoy dinner together?”

Chu Gangyi and Chu Hongyi heard and promptly addressed Gu Tingyu, ”Mr. Gu, why don’t you stay for dinner, let us also have a chance to thank you?”

Originally, Gu Tingyu intended to decline but, after seeing Yiyi, changed his mind unexpectedly, finally nodding and saying, ”Alright.”

Seeing Gu Tingyu agree, Jiang Yizi hastened to instruct the kitchen to prepare the meal.

While dinner was being prepared, Chu Gangyi and Chu Hongyi engaged Gu Tingyu in conversation, finally giving Yiyi the opportunity to speak intimately with Ding Yuejun.

”Mom, tell me in detail again what happened this afternoon.”

Seeing her daughter’s concern, Ding Yuejun recounted every detail, finally saying, ”Those people were truly awful, taking advantage of the crowded streets to act like this, who would dare stroll down the streets after this?”

Yiyi heard and frowned in thoughtful contemplation.

From Ding Yuejun’s account, she realized this matter indeed had no relation to Jiang Yizi or Le Hua, assuring her it wasn’t connected to the Chu family but potentially their adversaries.

But if their true adversaries were involved, then the kidnappers would likely target Jiang Yizi and Le Hua rather than her mother, who had just returned to the Chu family.

Previously, in her urgency, she hadn’t considered it well and assumed it was due to the Chu family, but now reflecting, she realized Jiang Yizi and the others were with her mother; truly if someone opposed to the Chu family had acted, they should have been the targets.

While Yiyi frowned contemplating, Ding Yuejun relaxed her expression, ”Alright Yiyi, don’t overthink; let nature take its course.”

Hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile.

It’s comforting that her mother wasn’t affected; concerning those people, she will persistently investigate, refusing to believe she wouldn’t uncover anything.

When the mother and daughter came out, dinner was prepared; Jiang Yizi eagerly invited everyone to sit together for a lively and warm meal.
