Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 249 - Chapter 249 Chapter 249 The Child Is Very Likely To

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Child Is Very Likely To… Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Child Is Very Likely To… Lu Xining’s mind suddenly flashed with a place!

Her scalp tingled in an instant as she hurriedly pushed open the basement door and ran down, her entire heart trembling nonstop.

The urgency inside Lu Xining couldn’t be contained at the thought of that possible existence.

Ji Muye followed her almost immediately.

When they saw the safe deposit box door in the basement, both he and Zhou Jiawang, who caught up from behind, were stunned.

“Nuonuo, are you in there? It’s Mom! Nuonuo, can you hear Mom speaking? Nuonuo–”

Lu Xining kept pounding on the safe deposit box, her palm quickly turning red.

Ji Muye hurried to the front of the safe deposit box and embraced the irrational Lu Xining, looking at the special lock door rivaling a bank’s vault, his eyes cold, and immediately had Ma Sai contact professionals!

Lu Xining, restrained by the man, immediately lunged at Zhou Jiawang when she saw him coming down, clutching his clothes tightly and asking.

Lu Xining, “What’s the password!”

The recovered Zhou Jiawang hurriedly said, “I don’t know.”

Every main building where the Zhou Family lived was equipped with a professional safe deposit box, including the one where Zhou Ni Juan lived, as well as the two buildings where Zhou Father and Mrs. Zhou lived.

The passwords were set individually, and even Zhou Jiawang didn’t know the password to his grandmother’s.

Lu Xining could barely stand.

Zhou Jiawang hurried to support her but was preemptively pulled into Ji Muye’s embrace.

He looked at Lu Xining, whose face had turned pale with concern, “Xining, let’s first confirm if the child is inside, don’t scare yourself.”

Underneath the black shirt was Ji Muye’s body, tense from restraint, his gaze shifting towards Zhou Jiawang, “You better pray that Nuonuo isn’t inside, or I will definitely not let your Zhou Family off!”

“How could Nuonuo be in the safe deposit box? Ningning, you must be overthinking it, it’s absolutely impossible for someone to be in there!”

How insanely cruel would someone have to be to lock a child inside a safe deposit box? That’s clearly a death sentence.

His voice stopped abruptly upon seeing the tears in Lu Xining’s eyes, followed by a mind-shattering piece of news.

Lu Xining scoffed, “Why couldn’t it be? My last year in Port City… I was here! I’ve been locked up several times!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Muye’s grip on her arm suddenly tightened, the rage in his eyes nearly burning Zhou Jiawang to ashes.

Ji Muye demanded to Wang Snake, “Bring Zhou Ni Juan back!”

Zhou Jiawang, “I’ll contact Grandma right away!”

Once a safe deposit box is sealed, the oxygen level gradually decreases, typically reaching critical levels within 4 hours, rendering a person unable to breathe shortly.

If what Lu Xining said was true…

Zhou Jiawang’s mind was nearly deprived of the ability to think as he made phone calls while trying hard to recall the information he had learned before.

The vehicle arranged by Gou Ruibo to deliver items was around five in the evening, and it was almost eight or nine o’clock now.

The calculation of time meant that even if it wasn’t four hours, it was close to that.

The oxygen supply in the safe deposit box lasts a maximum of four hours!

The child might…

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Zhou Jiawang continued dialing the old lady’s number but received no response.

He turned around to see Lu Xining, who had forced herself to calm down, making a video call to her people.

“Monkey, hurry! Nuonuo might not be able to wait…”

Lu Xining’s voice was choked up, barely able to speak.

Upon receiving the message, Fu Junhang had already arranged for someone to contact specialists in this field, preferably someone located in Port City!

After hanging up the call quickly, Lu Xining pointed the video camera at the special lock of the safe deposit box, recorded the details, and sent it to Haozi.

She had stayed inside here over a decade ago.

There were two doors in total!

Only when the innermost door was opened would you find the safe where Zhou Ni Juan kept her valuables and cash.

And between the two doors, there was a space neither large nor small, without any light. As soon as the outermost door was closed, it became a completely dark, sealed space. That’s where Zhou Ni Juan had locked her up originally.

Each time for two hours!

Darkness was not the scariest part. What truly made one’s skin crawl was the suffocating feeling of struggling to breathe bit by bit in the darkness, relentlessly wearing down one’s willpower.

Now, recalling that time, Lu Xining still felt breathless.

Zhou Ni Juan saw the call from Zhou Jiawang, and thinking of his disobedient behavior in leaving earlier, she deliberately left him hanging for a long time without answering.

But just as she was about to pick up, the car was forcibly stopped.

The remaining journey of fifteen minutes was cut short to just seven or eight minutes by Wang Snake flooring the gas pedal.

Long skid marks were left on the ground by the tires.

Fortunately, thanks to Ma Sai’s early instruction for Zhou Ni Juan and Zhou Ziyue in the back seat to fasten their seat belts, they were spared the consequence of being thrown out.

Zhou Ni Juan, who had intended to walk into the house on her crutches, was swiftly taken to the basement safe door by the well-conditioned Wang Snake and Ma Sai, one supporting her arm on each side, striding meteorically.

Seeing Zhou Ni Juan being taken away, Zhou Ziyue hurriedly called her brother, her tone urgent, “Brother, something’s happened! Mom’s been kidnapped!”

After informing Zhou Zhenqing, Zhou Ni Juan immediately followed into the house. Upon entering, she saw Gou Shanmu, bound to a chair like a dog, struggling to speak with her mouth gagged by two silicone plugs.

The bodyguards of the Lu and Ji Families didn’t stop Zhou Ziyue from running down to the basement. As soon as she saw Zhou Ni Juan, she shouted, “Mom!”

Lu Xining dragged Zhou Ni Juan right up to the safe’s door and demanded sharply, “Open the door!”

Zhou Ni Juan sneered coldly, “In your dreams!”

Seeing that the old lady was not injured, Zhou Jiawang breathed a sigh of relief and urgently asked, “Grandma, did you really kidnap Ningning’s daughter?”

“Why would I kidnap her daughter, Awang? Would you rather believe a stranger than your own grandma?”

Zhou Ni Juan did not admit to any such actions and was also unwilling to open the safe door, “Who knows if she’s just trying to rob us?”

Ji Muye’s voice was chilly, “She wouldn’t bother with your trinkets!”

“President Ji, your grandfather and I were old acquaintances. If he knew about your actions today, what do you think he would feel?”

Hearing Zhou Ni Juan’s admonishing words, he retorted directly, “He would throw the thugs who dared to kidnap his great-granddaughter into the sea to feed the fish!”

Zhou Ni Juan: “…”

“Grandma, Ningning doesn’t want the money inside. Just open the safe, and if there’s no child inside, she will apologize to you.”

“You have no evidence, yet you barge into someone else’s home looking for someone, like bandits. Awang, have you forgotten all the teachings your grandmother gave you?”

Zhou Jiawang spoke again, “Then can you tell me, Grandma, why did you lock Ningning in the safe in the past?”

“How did you…”

Unprepared for her grandson to know of such matters, Zhou Ni Juan’s face turned pale, a flash of guilt in her eyes, unable to maintain her composure.

But no matter what Zhou Jiawang said, or how Lu Xining and Ji Muye threatened, Zhou Ni Juan simply refused to open the door of the safe.

Time passed, second by second.

Lu Xining and Ji Muye took turns calling out Lu Nuonuo’s name, but whether it was because the door was so well soundproofed, or something had happened to the child inside, there was no response.

Zhou Ni Juan: “I already said there is no child!”

It was at this moment!

From the other side of the safe door, the sound of a child’s crying could be heard.
