In the book, I changed the villain couple to be a daughter slave

Li Mian suppressed his fear of the darkness and rushed into the woods without looking back.

She wrapped the kidnapper's coat around herself and ran quickly down the mountain.

The forest area is particularly cool at night. In addition to the sound of the night wind blowing the leaves, there are occasional sounds of various small insects.

The little body kept shuttling back and forth in the bushes, and many times he fell because he couldn't see the road in the darkness.

I don’t know how many times I fell, my clothes were torn by the branches, and my body had many scars.

Because he couldn't tell the direction, Li Mian almost rolled down the valley many times.

She ran until she was exhausted, then she found a crevice in the dark that could accommodate herself and hid carefully inside.

Although it is in the wilderness, it is not far from the city, so there are no large wild animals in the mountains.

But it does not rule out some small ones, such as snakes.

Li Mian knew that this was unavoidable, she could only pray for better luck and avoid encountering it.

At that time, at the wooden house, the kidnapper returned after talking to Li Xun on the phone, only to find that Li Mian had run away.

He searched around the wooden house in panic, but found no trace of Li Mian.

"Little brat! Little brat!"

The kidnappers began shouting around the cabin, feeling angry but also a little worried.

After all, the intention of kidnapping Li Mian this time was not to kill him. Although he did it for money, he didn't want anything to happen to such a young child in the mountains.

"Little brat, come out and I'll take you home."

"I won't be angry. Just think you are playing hide-and-seek with me. Come out, okay?"

"There are snakes, jackals and tigers in the mountains. If you don't come out, you will be eaten."

"Little brat!"

No matter how the kidnappers threatened or lured him, there was no trace of Li Mian.

There was no other choice, so the kidnappers had to return to the cabin, pick up the machete left there by the ranger, and take a flashlight to prepare to look for it.

The forest was eerily quiet at night. Li Mian huddled in a crevice where the wind could not reach him, preparing to wait until it was a little brighter before leaving.

But before she could rest for long, she vaguely heard the voice of the kidnapper.

Li Mian's nerves suddenly tensed up. She held her breath and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

But she was surprised to find that the flashlight light was coming from the opposite hillside.

Li Mian felt a little overwhelmed when he realized that he had been running for so long just to get from the opposite mountain to the hiding place.

Fearing that the flashlight would shine on him, Li Mian did not dare to stay where he was. Instead, he crouched down and continued to run down the mountain, using the bushes that were taller than him.

In this way, she ran downhill and uphill, and had no idea which direction she was running. She only knew that she had to stay away from the kidnapper.

Only after he no longer heard the kidnapper's voice and saw no flashlight behind him did Li Mian squat in a pit, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Her clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and now the night wind blew, making her shiver with cold.

She curled up in the pit, very tired but not daring to fall asleep.

In this kind of forest area where the temperature difference at night is very large, it is easy to get hypothermia.

She was afraid that she would fall asleep and not wake up.

In this way, Li Mian relied on his tenacious willpower to force himself to stay awake and waited until dawn.

She took out the remaining compressed biscuits from her pocket, broke off a small piece and ate it, then drank a sip of water. After replenishing her strength, she continued walking towards the direction of the rising sun.

But the vegetation in the forest area was too tall, and Li Mian couldn't rely on the sky to determine the direction. He could only move forward along the path that was created by something unknown.

On the other side, the kidnappers searched for a whole night and finally found Li Mian's footprints in front of a mountain stream.

But in front of us was a mountain stream that was more than ten meters deep and was completely covered by bushes and trees.

He glanced down and felt uneasy, fearing that the child had fallen down there.

Thinking of this, the kidnapper suddenly panicked and quickly called Li Xun.

At that time, Li Xun was furious at home after discovering that Li Lei had secretly run away. When he was about to send someone out to look for him, he received photos and videos sent by a mysterious man.

The photo was taken by the photographer while pinching Li Lei's face. He originally had a decent appearance, but now his face and nose were bruised and swollen.

In the video, Li Lei is asking for help in front of the camera, hoping that Li Mian will be released quickly in exchange for himself.

Li Xun was so angry that he was shaking all over. He immediately dialed the strange number to warn the other party to release the person, but he found that the phone was just a virtual number and could not be dialed at all.

He stood in the living room, the loose skin on his face trembling with anger.

"Go to Li's house!"

Li Xun subconsciously thought that Li Xiao had kidnapped Li Lei to warn him.

When he arrived outside the Li family, he ran into Li Xiao who was about to go out to continue following the search and rescue team.

"Li Xiao, let my grandson go!" Li Xun got out of the car and walked over quickly with his crutches.

Seeing him, Li Xiao didn't give him a good look, and said coldly: "Li Xun, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now."

"You clearly hired someone to kidnap my grandson, and you even used a fake account to post photos and videos of the kidnapping. If you have something to say, why don't you just sit down and talk?"

Li Xun originally planned to come to Li Xiao to discuss the private kindergarten incident today, but before he could negotiate, Li Lei was kidnapped first.

"I'll say it again, I don't have time to waste on you. If your grandson is kidnapped, then call the police. Don't come here to show off your presence." Li Xiao looked at Li Xun with a gloomy face and continued, "Don't think that I really care about your background. If you anger me, you will suffer the consequences."

After Li Xiao said a few impolite words to Li Xun, he ignored him and drove away.

Li Xun stood there with a puzzled look on his face. After watching Li Xiao's car drive away, he finally reacted.

Judging from Li Xiao’s reaction, he had no idea that he was the one who hired someone to kidnap his daughter, so the person who kidnapped Li Lei couldn’t be him.

Who is that?

Li Xun frowned deeply. When he was wondering who it could be, he received a call from the kidnapper.

"Mr. Li, the child is missing."

When the call was connected, Li Xun heard these words.

"What do you mean missing?" Li Xun's face suddenly darkened.

"She ran away. I searched for her all night and finally saw what looked like her footprints on the edge of a cliff. But there was a ravine more than ten meters deep ahead. Could she have fallen in?"

The kidnapper's voice was trembling and a little panicked.

Originally, we just wanted to capture the person and send him back after a few days, but now if something really happens to the child, it would be a matter of life and death.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? Now you tell me there's a chance she might fall off the cliff?" Li Xun's teeth were almost broken as he spoke.

Thinking of the warnings Li Xiao had just given him, if something really happened to the child and he was the one responsible, the Li family would really be finished!

The kidnapper asked helplessly, "What should we do now? Should I try to go down there and take a look?"
