Chapter 573 We're all family, a distress signal

Li Chengxiao handed over the phone with a hint of helplessness on his face, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Li Fulin took the phone and looked at the screen. He saw a little girl in ancient costume smiling and waving at him.

Even though it was through a screen, he hadn't seen a junior so relaxed and approachable in front of him in a long time, and his tone softened involuntarily as well, "Hanying, right?"

Jiang Hanying nodded and looked at the middle-aged man on her screen who exuded a calm and dignified aura. For a moment, she almost thought she was seeing a middle-aged version of Li Jingmo, as their features were so similar.

Immediately, his mouth spoke faster than his brain: "Brother Jingmo looks just like Uncle."

"Indeed, your Jingmo looks just like me. Hanying, are you busy with work?"

"It's alright. There are busy times, but also a lot of free time. It comes in waves."

"If you have time to go back to Beijing during the Spring Festival, come and visit your uncle."

"I'll go when I have time, but if I really can't find the time, then there's nothing I can do."

"Then let's focus on our work first. We'll talk about it after we're done."

Pei Yuan and Yue Zhuo returned with lunch and saw Jiang Hanying holding her phone and making a video call. They immediately shut up and quietly started setting out the food.

However, this commotion alerted Li Fulin. "Has someone arrived?"

"My assistant brought the lunch over."

"Then your uncle won't disturb your meal any longer."

Jiang Hanying still remembered that when she first called, her cheap owner said that they were also about to eat. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "You should eat too."

Li Fulin smiled and hung up the video call. When he looked up, he met his nephew sitting next to him with a reproachful look in his eyes.

"Ahem!" She was so engrossed in chatting with her future nephew's wife that she neglected her nephew. "Let's eat quickly, Hanying's over there has already started eating."

Li Chengxiao glanced silently at his phone, which had already gone black, and picked up his chopsticks.

On the other side, seeing Jiang Hanying hang up the video call, Pei Yuan finally spoke up: "Sister, weren't you video chatting with Instructor Li? Why did I just hear Uncle?"

It's no wonder she was curious. She had been following Jiang Hanying for so long, during which time she even changed companies, and she had never even heard of Jiang Hanying's parents. So where did this uncle come from?
"It was a fight with the instructor. The guy I was video chatting with just now is the instructor's uncle."

Pei Yuan suddenly realized, and then she thought, "Why did Instructor Li go home to his uncle's house, Instructor Li's father's house?"

Jiang Hanying, who was biting into a piece of rib, thought for a moment after hearing her question, and said, "I don't know either, maybe she's not home."

Pei Yuan: "..."

She was speechless for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Sister, you've been with Instructor Li for so long, haven't you ever asked about his family situation?"

"Is that even a question? We'll find out when we meet."

However, judging from the relationship between the cheap master and his cousin Li Jingmo, and the fact that the cheap master went to his uncle's house for dinner after returning to the capital, it can be seen that the cheap master's family in this life is quite good.

Yes, better than her.

However, the family of the cheap owner is still her family, so there's no difference.

Pei Yuan was now completely certain that Han Ying's thought process was different from that of ordinary people like them.

Ruoshui installed a locator on the watch that Duanmu Long wore on the plane back to Beijing, just in case, because she thought the possibility of Duanmu Long being in danger was not high.

After all, if a person stays at home peacefully, how could bad guys break into the Duanmu family and kidnap a living person?

Moreover, it's unlikely that Duanmu Long would go out on his own initiative at this time.

So when she received the distress signal, she was genuinely stunned for a second before realizing that it was sent by Duanmu Long.

He immediately sat up with a thud. "Hummingbird."

Just as I called out to Hummingbird, who was sitting in front of the computer, I heard him reply: "I've already sent you the location, but it shows up in a high-end villa area with tight security. You and Big Bear should be careful."

"Got it." Ruoshui called out to Daxiong, who was also quickly equipped, and the two of them hurried out.

Hummingbird glanced at their retreating figures, then hesitated before dialing a number: "Captain, Duanmu Long has sent a distress signal..."

Duanmu Long, dressed in casual clothes, looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him.

She had lunch with her great-aunt at noon, and when she saw her great-aunt go back to her room for a nap, she felt a little sleepy and went back to her own room to rest as well.

When I woke up, I found that the room I was in had changed.

At first, she thought she was still dreaming, but when she twisted her arm and felt the pain, she realized that she was not dreaming.

Her phone wasn't on her, and she didn't know where she was. Fortunately, since it was just lunch break, her watch was still firmly on her wrist.

After forcing herself to calm down, she immediately pressed the distress signal.

He then used the few pieces of furniture already in the room to firmly block the door, and he himself stood firmly at the doorway before he began to seriously consider the current situation.

She's been sleeping lightly these past few days, and sometimes she even needs to take a sleeping pill to fall asleep, but it's just a nap, and she didn't take any sleeping pills, so it's impossible for her to sleep so soundly.

Considering how sleepy she felt after eating, there was only one possibility: her lunch, or the glass of water she drank before lunch, had been drugged!

Who could bribe the servants in the house and still manage to bring her, a grown woman, out of the house?

The image of his third aunt flashed through Duanmu Long's mind.

The fact that my third aunt and her third uncle could become husband and wife shows that they are birds of a feather.

If the couple joined forces, even if Lu Feng was only lured away for a short while, it would be enough to bring her out.

Before the meal, my great-aunt called Chengxiao, and that's how she learned that he had returned to Beijing.

Then I was drugged and transferred to this place where I was locked up.

This shows that Gao Songchen is anxious!

They're resorting to such despicable means to force me to compromise!

She should have been more cautious after learning that her third aunt had been bribed and came to her door.

But it's too late to think about these things now.

It wasn't until he smelled the blood that Duanmu Long realized he had unknowingly bitten his lip until it bled.

She wiped her hand haphazardly, and when she saw the bright color that appeared on the back of her hand, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

She can't just rely on others to rescue her; she has to find a way to save herself too!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Long took another careful look at the room he was in.

The room looked simple and small, but it also had a separate bathroom.

Since there are no windows, the room must be underground.

Looking at the few pieces of furniture she had piled up by the door, the bed, table, and cabinet were all simple in style, but made of good materials.

"This should be a servants' quarters located underground. Underground, servants, it's very likely a villa."

Gao Songchen has locked her up in a villa under his name.

She dared not open the door and go out rashly, but the room had no windows and she could not see what was happening outside. Just as she was struggling between the two choices of blocking the door and staying in the room, and going out to check the situation, footsteps finally sounded outside the door.
