CHAPTER 249
That afternoon of Bai Renxiang's kidnapping, Bai Ming was enjoying a bubble bath at home. On her both sides were a glass of wine and a plate of grapes.
She felt elated about the fact that Bai Renxiang's kidnapping was successful. Bai Ming had waited for a long time to hear the news.
She and her mother, Lin Ying went shopping and ate at a five-star restaurant to celebrate.
Just as she was in her own thoughts of planning what next to do, her phone rang.
"Urgh! Who is calling me now? Can't a girl have a beauty bath without disturbance?" She grumbled as she picked it up without looking at the caller.
"Who is it?" Bai Ming asked in an annoyed voice.
"Ms Bai, it is me, Fang."
"Oh! What do you want now? I told you that I will not send the other half of your money until I see the video of my step sisters ruin," Bai Ming said with creased brows.
"It is not about the money, Ms Bai. It is something else. Something bad," Fang said.
Bai Ming could hear the worry in his voice. A frown marred her face as she sat up in the bathtub.
"What is it? Tell me," she urged him.
"The men... the men we hired to kidnap your sister-"
"Stepsister," she corrected.
Fang was confused. Even at a time when she is supposed to be worried, she still knows how to put the differences between them. Are they not if the same blood from one man who is their father?
"Whether or not she is your sister or stepsister, half-sister or full sister. It does matter now. There is a sister in all," Fang said in a slightly irritated tone. "The problem now is that the men who kidnapped her are missing as well as your sister," he added.
"What?" Bai Ming shouted.
"Yes. It is either they ran away which is not possible because they have not received full payment. Or someone Bai Renxiang ran away which is not also possible because the cabin was surrounded by men," he reasoned out.
"Or lastly, which can be the only reasonable explanation for their absence, is that Bai Renxiang was saved by someone."
"How can that be possible? Who would help her?" Bai Ming asked.
"I have no idea who the person may be. The people that went to search for them found no evidence or trace. It was as if they never even went there."
"Oh no! What about the videos it pictures of my stepsister? Were there no cameras installed in that building?" Bai Ming asked.
"No. Everything was clean like the abandoned house that it is. The kidnappers have been kidnapped," Fang said conclusively.
"No no no. Why is this happening? It was successful. How can this be happening? I thought you said that no one would be able to find her there. What happened now? How was she found and saved?" Bai Ming roared in anger as she stepped out of the bathtub.
"That was what the leader of the men said. I also have no idea how they were found. What are we going to do?" Fang asked.
"What are we going to do? Are you seriously asking me that? How far can your stupidity stretch?" She spat out. "Search for them of course. Find her and do everything possible to cover our tracks. No one should know it was me behind all the operation."
"Yes, Ms Bai. I will do just that. I will also cover our tracks. You have my word for it," Fang said.
"You had better keep your words," Bai Ming bellowed before ending the call.
"Aaahhh!" She screamed as she stomped her feet on the tiled floor while matching into the shower to rinse off the lather on her body.
In less than twenty minutes, she was done with showering. With a bathrobe on, Bai Ming started scattering her room in anger.
She swept her hands on her table smashing all her makeup stuff on the floor. She pulled her bedsheet from her bed as she screamed at the top of her voice.
Very soon, over mother and some mauds rushed into her room. Lin Ying was shocked at the state of her daughter and the mess she had made out of her room.
"Honey! What happened? Who made you mad?" Lin Yong asked she rushed to her daughter.
"Mummy!!" Bai Ming cried out like the spoilt brat that she was.
"Yes, pumpkin. I am here. Mummy is here. What happened?" Lin Ying asked as she enveloped her daughter in a comforting hug.
"Everything has failed. They are all a bunch of incompetent bastards. So useless," she cursed.
"What are you all waiting for? Clean this mess up. Hurry up or you lose your job," Lin Ying shouted at the maids.
The maids standing by the door hurriedly moved their feet and got to work in putting their you h miss' room back in order. They did not want to lose their jobs or get scolded or even punished because they moved slowly.
Bai Ming continued raining curses on the kidnappers while her mother could only sit with her on the bed. Soon enough, the maids were done and they immediately filed out of the room.
Seeing as they were alone in the now arranged room, Lin Ying adjusted her sitting position is that she would be facing her daughter.
"Now honey, tell me what got you so worked up and angry. We were happy a few hours ago. What happened now? Is it work at the company?" Lin Ying asked.
"If it was the company, it would have been better. I would know what to do and how to take care of things if it were the company. But it is not," Bai Ming said.
"Then what is it? Tell me so that I can think of what to do to help you."
"The men that kidnapped Bai Renxiang are missing."
