Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 1996 - 455: Heading to France to Punish the Mistress (Part 3)

After all, a child can be held in your arms, put in the car, or even... put in a suitcase.Moreover, there are many people coming and going, carrying children.

Now we can only try to investigate them one by one.

"Miss Jian... we’ve arranged for the tech team to filter out suspicious individuals based on the time calculation, we’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news."

"Okay."

"Furthermore, Liu Xiang and the other party might have conducted a cash transaction. We haven’t found any suspicious large sums of money flowing in Liu Xiang’s accounts for the time being."

"Okay."

At a loss for what to do.

Jian Ran slowed down the surveillance footage, attempting to find Little Cubao’s figure, almost getting cross-eyed from watching, but still found nothing.

Jian Ran became more anxious as she watched, then received a call from Qin Mu, who likewise had found no clues.

As time ticked by, Little Cubao typically needed to be fed about every three hours.

Anxious in her heart, Jian Ran then brightened up.

"Immediately check the foreign faces appearing in the video, have the tech team compare them..."

Since the other party is French, this Liu Xiang handing over the child to them means they will most likely... be taken by the French directly, as this step requires no intermediary.

Therefore, just comparing the drivers of passing vehicles should be enough, along with foreign faces at the alleyway exits.

This will undoubtedly narrow down the range significantly.

"Understood, Miss Jian, I will take care of it right away."

"Okay."

...

Jian Anguo at the Gu Family felt increasingly uneasy and went to the company, seeing Jian Ran anxiously in the office, hurriedly spoke out.

"Ran girl, where is Cubao?"

Jian Ran: "..."

"You usually don’t joke about children. You just mentioned the child being at my place... doesn’t seem like a joke... Where is the child really? Is it in Mo Chen’s office lounge?"

Seeing no sign of Little Cubao in Jian Ran’s office, Jian Anguo became even more anxious.

Jian Ran’s eyes reddened, watching Jian Anguo’s anxious look, sniffed and told the truth.

"Dad, today I didn’t arrange for someone to pick up the child, and that Liu Xiang was bribed, forcibly taking the child away from home."

Jian Anguo: "..."

Hearing this, Jian Anguo staggered, took several steps back, and fell into a chair.

"What did you say?"

"Where is the child now?"

"My Jinchen, blame it on me... I, this useless old man, couldn’t even take care of a child and actually let someone trick them away."

Watching Jian Anguo’s self-reproach and frustration, Jian Ran said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, it has nothing to do with you. The other side used someone inside the company, and it was impossible to avoid."

"I’ve already arranged for people to quickly search for Cubao’s whereabouts. There should be news soon, and if there’s still nothing by tonight, I will contact Mo Chen."

"For now, it seems that’s the only option."

Jian Anguo was filled with frustration, feeling useless at his age.

How... how could he be so useless?

Jian Ran worried that Jian Anguo’s body couldn’t handle the stress, and kept comforting his emotions.

...

An hour later, the assistant excitedly came forward and said: "Miss Jian, we found it..."

The assistant sent the screenshot in hand to Jian Ran, excitedly said: "Miss Jian, look carefully, the driver of this black vehicle is European, and the person in the back seat can’t be seen clearly, but it’s evident they are holding what seems to be a child."

Following the assistant’s indication, Jian Ran carefully inspected the high-resolution enlarged image, pursed her lips, and said: "Has this car been tailing us in the surveillance these days?"

"Yes... this car was following us just yesterday morning."

If that’s the case, then it’s confirmed.

Jian Ran showed a slight smile, hurriedly said: "Then immediately track where this car has gone."

"Understood, Miss Jian."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes darkened, as if thinking of something, pursed her lips and said: "Keep an eye on the situation in France, notify me immediately if there’s anything unusual."

"Yes, Miss Jian."

...

Half an hour later, Jian Ran received news from the airline company.

After Liu Xiang’s transaction with the French entourage, the French immediately flew back to France.

The leader was a glamorous woman with blonde hair, wearing a black short skirt.

The identity of the other party is unknown for the time being, and they have to wait for Secretary Zhou to investigate clearly.

"Notify the private jet to be ready, we must fly to France to intercept their plane immediately."

"Yes, Miss Jian."

"Okay, then inform Secretary Zhou about Little Cubao’s disappearance, and have him quickly find out this woman’s true identity."

"Yes, Miss Jian."

...

"Ranran, I’ll go with you."

Jian Anguo was always anxious about Gu Jinchen’s matter, couldn’t rest easy, and seeing Jian Ran about to head to France, couldn’t help but speak up.

"Dad, there’s no need, I can handle it alone, you need to stay here with Tang Bao, Tang Bao is still at Elder Qin’s house, if Mo Chen and I don’t go find her for a long time, she will surely be scared alone."

"Alright... that will have to do. The wedding matters are still pending... With the wedding coming up, how could such a thing happen?"

Jian Anguo was very anxious, having no choice now but to rely on Jian Ran.

Jian Ran pursed her lips, hearing Jian Anguo say this, gently hugged Jian Anguo’s neck, softly saying.

"Dad, don’t worry, rest assured, it will be fine."

"Okay, Dad will wait at home for you and Mo Chen."

"Yes, and Little Cubao..."

"Alright."

...

Jian Ran succinctly handled work handover at the Gu Family, then quickly drove with the assistant towards the private airport.

Upon reaching the airport, the assistant received a message from Secretary Zhou before boarding.

"Miss Jian... the other party’s identity has been found, it’s President Zuo’s daughter, Zuo Wei."

Jian Ran froze upon hearing this.

Zuo Wei?

Isn’t that the shameless woman wanting to be the third wheel that night?

Heh... the woman actually came knocking, even trying to snatch a child, truly shameless.

Jian Ran’s expression turned cold, pursed her lips and said: "We will follow closely in the air, force them to make an emergency landing, if not possible, have Secretary Zhou have people intercept at the airport."

"Yes, Miss Jian."

"Okay."

Jian Ran rubbed her temples, uncertain of what kind of suffering Little Cubao, so young, would face being taken by a strange woman.

Feeling so heartbroken for her son.

Jian Ran originally planned to notify the other party’s crew in advance, but worried Zuo Wei might do something drastic.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Ran forced herself to calm down.
