Chapter 90: Chapter 090: The Girl Named Youyou_1
“Your mom is really clever,” Ye Xiong gave a thumbs up again.

“Not only is my mom clever, but she’s also the prettiest woman in the world. Whoever marries her will be the happiest man in the world,” Little Lolita Youyou said proudly.

“And your dad?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

“My dad died in a car accident last year, and Mom got into trouble with some bad guys, so she had me hide with Grandpa. Now that the bad guys are dead, Mom wanted me and Grandpa to come back, but Grandpa couldn’t get through to her phone, so we had to hitch rides back,” Youyou explained earnestly.

Ye Xiong took a good look at Little Lolita, and an idea sparked in his mind.

Before he got on the car, he felt that this Little Lolita looked familiar, but couldn’t quite remember where he had seen her.

Now that he looked more carefully, Little Lolita bore a striking resemblance to Du Yuehua.

Those eyes, those pupils, even that little mouth and eyelashes looked similar. Apart from a slightly rounder face, in other respects, she looked very much like Du Yuehua.

Only someone like Du Yuehua, who was driven to desperation by He Haodong, would instill such a sense of crisis in such a young girl. Most little girls were not as sly as she was.

“If your mom gets married, she won’t love you as much. Aren’t you afraid of that?” Ye Xiong teased with a smile.

“Mom said she’ll remarry when I grow up, but I think Mom should take advantage of her youth and find an uncle sooner. It won’t be so easy to get married when she’s old.”

“My God, who told you these things?” If he hadn’t heard it for himself, Ye Xiong would never have believed these words could come from a little kid not even six years old.

“I heard it when Grandpa called Mom,” Youyou said, her big eyes twinkling as she stared at Ye Xiong. Suddenly, she asked, “Uncle, will you chase after my mom, please?”

“Err… Uncle already has a girlfriend.”

“Dump her and go after my mom.”

“But I don’t know if your mom is pretty or not.”

Youyou suddenly pulled out a photo from inside her clothes and handed it over, saying proudly, “This is my mom.”

Ye Xiong took the photo and saw that it was indeed Du Yuehua. The background was the CEO’s office in Mingyang International Hotel. In the photo, she was wearing a purple dress, radiantly beautiful and without compare.

“How about that, way prettier than your girlfriend, right?” Youyou asked with pride.

“Truly beautiful!” Ye Xiong exclaimed sincerely.

Your mom is even prettier without her clothes on, but he dared not utter that thought aloud.

“Not only is my mom beautiful, but she is also very rich. If you win her over, you could skip decades of hard work and never worry about food and clothes for life,” Youyou pulled out another small card from behind her back and handed it to Ye Xiong, “Here’s my mom’s phone number. Give it your best shot. This is the first time I’m introducing someone to my mom, so you better move fast, or you’ll regret it later.”

Ye Xiong was speechless.

All of a sudden, he reached into the pocket on the back of Youyou’s clothes and pulled out a dozen or so photos and business cards, ending up with a full head of black lines.

“Is this what you call the ‘first time’ introducing someone?” Ye Xiong raised the photos in his hand, both amused and at a loss for words.

From the looks of it, the words she had said to him earlier were probably repeated to numerous men along the way.

Caught red-handed, Youyou stuck out her tongue and said, “I really only handed out one. Grandpa just fell asleep, and then I came here.”

“Hand them all over,” Ye Xiong extended his hand.

As a joke, if he let her continue this matchmaking, how many rivals would he end up with?

“I’m not giving them up,” Youyou said and ran off like a shot.

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh, not expecting Sister Hua to have such an interesting daughter.

Come to think of it, might he one day become this little one’s stepdad?

It was slow driving at night, and by the time he reached Jiangnan City, it was already eleven o’clock.

Ye Xiong stretched lazily as he got off the car, suddenly hearing a scream coming from underneath the vehicle.

The voice belonged to Youyou’s grandfather.

“Help! Somebody help! My granddaughter has been kidnapped!”

Ye Xiong was startled by the words and quickly ran down from the car, only to see a grey van speeding away on the road. Youyou’s grandfather lay on the ground, crying bitterly.

“Help, please, someone save my granddaughter, help!”

“Save her!”

Unfortunately, the streets were not busy in the middle of the night and, moreover, the kidnappers had acted swiftly. By the time people reacted, the van had already disappeared at the end of the street.

“Sir, please, save my daughter.” Youyou’s grandfather saw Ye Xiong running over and threw himself at him, tears streaming down his face: “She is my only granddaughter, I have already lost my son, I absolutely cannot lose her as well, please save her.”

“Phone.”

Ye Xiong stretched out his hand and seeing the man still in a daze quickly barked, “Your phone, do you hear me?”

The grandfather, shocked by Ye Xiong’s shout, hurriedly took out his cell phone and handed it over.

“Don’t tell Sister Hua first, don’t worry her.”

After saying that, Ye Xiong dialed a number while running towards the road.

He flagged down a motorcycle, pulled the rider off, and chased after the van at the intersection, just as the call connected.

“Who is this?” Luo Weiwei’s voice came from the other side of the call.

“It’s me.”

“You bastard, where are you?” Luo Weiwei recognized Ye Xiong’s voice and asked anxiously.

“I’m now at the city’s bus station, Sister Hua’s daughter has been kidnapped, the kidnappers are in a grey van, I didn’t get a clear look at the license plate, they’re heading towards the city’s third ring road. Activate all the surveillance footage immediately, find that van, and inform me the moment you have news, hurry.”

After speaking, Ye Xiong throttled the motorcycle to its maximum and sped off.

After turning the corner, there were several intersections ahead; he didn’t know which way to go.

“Damn it.”

Ye Xiong’s fists clenched tightly, rage surging up like a tidal wave at the thought of Sister Hua’s daughter being taken away under his watch.

Sister Hua had already lost her husband, and if she were to lose her daughter too, it was imaginable how she could possibly bear such a blow.

“How long has it been, and not a single camera catch? What kind of operation is this?” Ye Xiong yelled at the person on the other end of the line after getting through the call.

Despite the distance of the phone call, Luo Weiwei could still feel Ye Xiong’s anger.

She had never imagined that the normally carefree Ye Xiong could look so furious when angry.

“Just wait a little longer, we’re looking.” Luo Weiwei urged the surveillance team quickly and after a while said, “Ye Xiong, regarding the road you mentioned, we’ve checked the cameras within five minutes of the exit, we didn’t see the grey van you described.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure, unless they left from another exit,” Luo Weiwei said.

“I understand now.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiong drove the motorcycle around the vicinity.

The van’s absence on surveillance meant that it was hiding somewhere nearby.

Normally, kidnappers would try to get as far away as possible after taking someone, but if they didn’t leave, there was only one possibility.

They were switching vehicles.

Changing cars midway was a common trick used by criminals to evade surveillance tracking as quickly as possible.

Ye Xiong parked the motorcycle at the roadside, watching the vehicles emerging from the surrounding buildings, checking each one.

Unfortunately, there were too many cars coming out; it was impossible to determine which one might be the transfer vehicle.

Just then, one car caught his attention.
