The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 893: The Two Brothers’ Thoughts

He had no idea how exceptional little Qingchen was when it came to speed of reaction and vigilance. Neither did he know that little Qingchen had been aware of his presence ever since they left the school gates. However, he was not a threat to little Qingchen. In comparison to that man, little Qingchen was more concerned about his chocolate cake being snatched away by that inhuman creature!

Since they were in front of the school gates, the man did not make his intentions too obvious. He was not working alone either. There was a woman following behind him, carrying a child that was around the same age as little Qingchen.

The child was ‘cargo’ that they had just managed to abduct.

Although it was a little cruel to describe a child as mere ‘cargo’, children were addressed as ‘cargo’ in this infamous trade business.

For those who made a living through trafficking women and children, they had lost their humanity a long time ago.

Children abducted by them were often slightly older and less popular compared to infants. Some of the cleverer and brighter ‘cargos’ were quickly disposed of. In certain cases, they might even be purposely handicapped before being sent off to beg, merely for the purpose of attracting sympathy.

Their operating procedure was well thought out as well. Normally, they would ensure that the ‘cargo’ was in a docile state after being abducted, just like the young child they were carrying right now.

Despite blaring car horns on such a busy street, the racket had not roused the child in the slightest. He laid slack in the woman’s arms as if he was in a deep slumber, except the fact that his eyes were red and swollen.

The man bent down to smile at little Qingchen, appearing as harmless as could be. “Hi there little one, is there a pharmacy close by? My child is sick and I would like to buy him some flu medicine.”

Little Qingchen glanced at the man without responding.

The man did not expect such a reaction, and he called out again, “Little one?”

Little Qingchen ate a spoonful of his chocolate cake before slowly replying, “Follow me, I’ll take you there.”

The man’s eyes brightened. “That’s great, thanks a lot, kid!” Children were so easily tricked after all. They would just have to wait a little longer till there was no one around before taking action.

Upon this thought, the man turned to exchange a look with the woman who was holding the child. The meaning behind the look was merely comprehensible by both of them.

They had two targets today. Aside from the child lying in the woman’s arms, the other target would be this child named Helian Qingchen.

According to their information sources, this child was from a mediocre single-parent family running a car repair shop. He was teased and being named a cheapskate ever since he joined the school. It would not attract much attention if such a child were to go missing.

Thick black fog rose from the man’s body as these thoughts ran through his mind.

Those were the evil thoughts sprouting from a human’s heart.

In the eyes of a devil, living spirits such as these were no different from evil spirits.

Baili Shangxie followed behind. Shoving his little hands in his pockets, he strode along with a cool demeanor. He arched an eyebrow after listening to little Qingchen’s response.

The first thing that came to his mind was, his chocolate cake was about to be abducted.

Without further ado, he followed them gallantly!

The man cracked a smile at little Qingchen, though his left hand hung limp at his side as if he was holding something. A closer look revealed a handkerchief held in his palm.

The man did not get the chance to do anything yet.

A police kiosk appeared before them, with a policeman standing on duty with a baton in hand.

The man was not foolish either. In fact, he was quite the opposite, rather sharp with a quick response. The moment he saw the policeman, he immediately became aware of the situation he was in. He swiftly tossed the handkerchief aside and turned toward little Qingchen defensively. The child did this on purpose!

In his numerous experiences in kidnapping children, he had never met one like this. He is actually thinking of biting right back at me!

At this moment, little Qingchen had arrived next to the policeman. His large, round eyes sparkled like an obsidian gemstone as he pointed at the man. “Something is wrong with him.”

The policeman frowned, raising his head to take a look at the man.

The man was an experienced kidnapper, bold yet cautious. He was able to maintain his composure during such an unexpected situation. He turned to ask the policeman anxiously, “Pardon me, is there a pharmacy nearby? My child is sick.”

The policeman could not identify any signs of deception from the man. Looking at the lethargic child, who was being carried by a similarly worried woman, he did not put much thought into little Qingchen’s report. He pointed toward his left.

The man thanked him immediately. His earnest gratitude dissipated any suspicion left in the policeman.

Little Qingchen narrowed his eyes, and his tone hardened. “I said, there’s something wrong with that man.”

“Boy, I’m quite busy. Are you lost? The school is that way. Please be good and wait for your parents to pick you up.” The policeman was expressing his kindness and care toward little Qingchen.

Apparently, he could not possibly take a three-year-old’s judgment seriously.

At that juncture, a car stopped by. Recognizing the car plate number, the policeman knew that the passenger of the car was Madam Cheng. In a hurry to greet her, he neglected little Qingchen’s statement.

Seeing this, little Qingchen did not say anything else. He carried his slice of cake and walked toward the direction of the man.

As for Baili Shangxie...of course, he would follow the direction of the chocolate cake.

As he noticed a decrease in the number of passers-by, little Qingchen stopped in his tracks.

Suddenly, a group of people posing as two pairs of couples appeared behind him. All four of them stared at him and among them was the man who had asked for directions just moments ago.

He slapped away the chocolate cake in little Qingchen’s hands and immediately after that, a handkerchief was pressed over little Qingchen’s mouth!

In fact, little Qingchen could have easily avoided the subsequent moves.

But this time, he was infuriated!

How dare they make him drop the cake that pretty Wei Wei had made for me!

I will make them pay for that!

Baili Shangxie was also gagged and dragged away. He was brought along in the spur of the moment since his thoughts were similar to little Qingchen. However, a demon would usually be a little more violent in such cases!

The half slice of chocolate cake he had been eyeing and planning to snatch away for an entire hour was gone just like that!

If I do not uproot their base this time, then I will not call myself Baili Shangxie!

When the woman standing at the side saw Baili Shangxie, she furrowed her brow tightly. “This child isn’t on the list. Judging from his clothing, he’s clearly from a well-off family, so why have you brought him along?”

“We didn’t have a choice, these two were acting strange. Not only did they follow us all the way here, but these damned brats even had the nerve to walk us to the police! Watch them closely, make sure they don’t get us into any trouble!”
