RMM -Chapter 199 Secretly Changing Vehicles

Su Ruo’s wrist was tightly held by Long Ge. For the sake of the child in her belly, she tried to cooperate with Long Ge’s movements, not letting herself be too passive. It was only after hastily getting out of the car that she could clearly see her surroundings.

All around were low-rise buildings. The streets weren’t very wide, but cars still passed by continuously. Though the area was rundown, it was still somewhat lively.

Su Ruo had never been here before and didn’t know where she was. She was just starting to take in the surroundings when Long Ge tugged at her again.

“What, thinking of calling for help? There’s no one here who knows you. Don’t waste your effort and make me irritated.”

After speaking, he pulled her into another car and shut the door.

Su Ruo watched as the car she had just been in sped off in another direction, disappearing from sight in no time.

Before she could even consider what Long Ge meant by this, he explained on his own: “Strange, right? You’re wondering why we changed cars?”

Su Ruo raised an eyebrow and sneered coldly: “If you wanted to tell me, you would have said so.”

“Exactly, I do want to say it,” Long Ge said without anger, a dark smile crossing his face. “Look, this place is backward enough, but still lively. Do you know why I chose it? There are lots of cars here and… no surveillance cameras.”

In just a few words, Su Ruo understood instantly. Her face turned grim. Many cars and no cameras—how could she not know what that meant?

A busy street could provide cover; that was likely Long Ge’s purpose in changing cars. But the real reason wasn’t just that—it was the lack of cameras.

Without cameras, no one would know what happened here, and no one would know that she had switched cars.

This cut off Su Ruo’s only hope!

Her calm earlier had been because she knew that if Su Heng realized she was missing, he would surely inform the family. Given the influence of the Su and Xi families, getting the traffic bureau to retrieve surveillance footage was not difficult. That was why she had cooperated with Long Ge before, not calling for help, which could lower his guard and protect the child. Who knew what he might have done if she had moved suddenly?

The outcome was simple: Su Heng might rescue her, or he might be outnumbered and fail, letting Long Ge succeed. Even if there were passersby, who could guarantee they would intervene? And even if Su Heng called others, how long would it take for them to arrive?

Most importantly, if she didn’t cooperate, conflict would be inevitable. Long Ge’s knife was pressed against her stomach. Even if he were captured, would he not have time to stab a few times in the heat of the moment?

If anything happened to this child… Su Ruo couldn’t even imagine the consequences.

So, even at personal risk, she dared not gamble with her child’s life.

But now, no one could see that she had switched cars. All attention would be focused on the previous car, while she was in this one.

In this way… she was truly missing.

Seeing Su Ruo’s face turn pale, Long Ge knew she had realized the truth. He sneered: “Finally scared, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not going to let anything happen to you just yet. I want to see Cheng Yue’s reaction first.”

Satisfied with his own thought, he then said to the driver in front: “Drive.”

Su Ruo gritted her teeth, thinking of how to escape, but didn’t notice Long Ge reach forward and take something from the driver’s hands.

By the time she realized it, it was too late.

Before losing consciousness, Su Ruo struggled and glanced at the towel covering her face, inhaling the familiar, bone-deep acrid smell.

Damn! This trick again! How unlucky can one be!

Once she fainted, Long Ge finally retracted his hand and casually tossed the towel aside.

The subordinate sitting in the passenger seat saw Long Ge showing no mercy to such a beautiful woman, handling her roughly despite her advanced pregnancy. He couldn’t bear it and asked: “Brother Long, will this affect her belly?”

Long Ge looked up at him, eyes full of cold ruthlessness, and sneered: “What? Feeling sorry for her because she’s pretty? Do you know who she is? Do you ***know she’s Cheng Yue’s wife?!”

Hearing that this woman, as beautiful as a flower, was Cheng Yue’s wife, the subordinate fell silent and turned his head.

The car drove silently into the distance, getting further away. Meanwhile, back at home, chaos erupted.

“Where is she? How can we not find her?!”

Su Feng rarely lost his temper like this, but now, thinking about his daughter—about to give birth—missing, he could no longer control himself and shouted furiously.

Su Heng blamed himself, thinking it was all his fault. If he hadn’t insisted on bringing his sister to see something, none of this would have happened.

But now wasn’t the time for regrets. The priority was to locate his sister.

The surveillance footage had been pulled, but the kidnappers were cunning enough to switch cars midway. Just moments ago, they found that car—but it was empty. Not a trace of his sister, not even the driver, who had disappeared at some unknown time!

Two segments were missing from the footage: one from a road with no cameras, the other from a camera that happened to be broken, missing the event entirely.

It was truly adding insult to injury. The first segment without cameras was certainly intentional—to switch cars. The second was probably coincidental; the abandoned car’s kidnappers likely didn’t expect the camera to be broken.

Clearly, the kidnappers had split into two groups. The current plan was to identify the kidnapper of Su Ruo. Only the face of that person had been captured clearly on camera. Apart from that person, the footage showed two others in the car, though their faces were blurry.

Nevertheless, they had to track the person based on that footage. Not a second could be wasted.

Su Heng suspected Hong Shirong and Shi Hai, the only two who had conflicts with his sister. Although she had forgiven Hong Shirong and his family had moved away from City B, his past record raised suspicion.

As for Shi Hai, though the Gu and Wang factions were in a sensitive period, Shi Hai didn’t have his father’s brain. If his mind had been clouded, causing trouble for Su Ruo again, it wouldn’t be impossible.

Su Heng shared his concerns with Su Feng, who immediately instructed people to monitor Shi Hai. As for Hong Shirong, they needed to locate his family’s current whereabouts.

On Xi Jian’an’s side, learning that the kidnappers had switched and abandoned cars, he realized they had been outmaneuvered. Not knowing the kidnappers’ intentions or where they would take Su Ruo, he sent people to the airport, train station, and highways—ready to intercept if the kidnappers planned to leave City B.

Shen Liang and Zhang Huaqing were already panicking, urging their husbands and sons to find her while anxiously waiting by the phone, fearing any missed call. What if the kidnappers called? What if something happened to Ruo Ruo? Even if it was a ransom, they should have contacted the family.

Xi Jian’an’s actions were wise, but when his people arrived to set up checkpoints, Long Ge’s car had already left City B.

Long Ge, of course, had no idea how many people in City B were frantically searching for him. Looking at the fainted Su Ruo, he wore a hint of mad satisfaction on his lips.

Good, she’s out cold—less chance of complications.

Once they reached their destination, he planned to call Cheng Yue and announce his “success,” curious to see his reaction. This little “gift” would surely surprise him, haha.

The earlier car switch and avoidance of cameras were purely due to Long Ge’s cautiousness. He didn’t know Su Ruo’s exact situation. He had just been scared by Xi Yuechen before, making him extra careful—never expecting someone would review the footage and recognize his face.

For now, everyone was focused on searching the city, unaware that Long Ge had already left City B with Su Ruo.

Time ticked by, yet no trace of Su Ruo was found, leaving everyone as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

He Wen and others were notified and dispatched. Everyone wished they could dig up City B in search.

So far, only Xi Yuechen remained unaware of Su Ruo’s kidnapping. Xi Jian’an had planned to inform him, but Su Feng refused, saying it was too far, and notifying him would only cause unnecessary worry. Better to wait for any leads.

In reality, Su Feng wasn’t just thinking of that. He knew the plan had just successfully concluded and there were many tasks to handle afterward. Given the importance of this operation, follow-up work would be crucial. Now was not the time to disturb Yuechen. After all the effort, this step was vital for Yuechen’s military career—it couldn’t end half-heartedly.

Perhaps the kidnappers were after Ruo Ruo’s wealth and might call to extort money themselves.

Thus, until absolutely necessary, Yuechen shouldn’t be disturbed.

The people tracking Shi Hai reported that he had spent the entire day at an entertainment club, playing with some wealthy second-generation brats, never leaving the club or doing anything unusual. Over the past few days, he hadn’t sought out anyone in particular, just usual indulgences. This case seemed unrelated to him, but vigilance remained necessary.

Hong Shirong had been located in S City, H Province, running a company with his father. It seemed he was attempting a comeback.

The Su and Xi families were called the “Evergreen Military-Political Trees,” and rightly so. They had influence everywhere, forming circles of power. Local teams were sent to monitor Hong Shirong, but found nothing unusual.

Strangely, the two people with grudges against Su Ruo showed no suspicious activity. So, who could have kidnapped her?

Back home, chaos reigned with no clues, while Su Ruo’s car sped further from City B.

During the blind, methodical search, it was a call from Xi Yuehui that provided direction.

Xi Yuehui instructed Xi Jian’an to take the kidnapper’s footage to the authorities, allowing the police to track the person’s identity. No matter how mysterious, the kidnapper must have identification. Gathering information was tedious, but far better than blindly searching like headless flies.

Xi Jian’an immediately understood, instructing his people to contact the police, berating himself for the oversight. Luckily, his people were already there, preventing any undue attention from outsiders.
