Chapter 501: Mother's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety

The next morning, Huang Xiaochuan received a phone call, and then met with the caller at the agreed time and place.

Upon hearing the other person introduce himself as someone sent by Zhang Yun, Huang Xiaochuan's expression immediately turned serious. He remained silent, listening quietly as the other person recounted the truth of the matter.

The kidnappers who abducted Luca have been caught, but they are already dead. There were two of them. One of them was a cousin of one of the bodyguards Huang Xiaochuan had previously dismissed, and the other was his girlfriend.

The matter was not complicated. During a family gathering, the bodyguard drank too much and became somewhat carried away. He recounted how the wealthy people he had seen lived. Unbeknownst to him, his cousin, Tommaso Kent, had taken note of these details.

He had scouted the location multiple times beforehand but hadn't found a suitable opportunity. Not long after, Zhang Yun took her two children to play on the beach in Long Island and was spotted by Tommaso Kent. Coincidentally, the person who was following and protecting Luca at the time was Tommaso Kent's cousin.

It was rumored that the child was the son of an Asian female tycoon, and that her boyfriend, Tommaso Kent, planned to use the child to blackmail her for a large sum of money.

However, things did not develop as they had expected. Instead, Huang Xiaochuan's huge bounty made them suspicious of each other. They lived in constant fear, not only having to be wary of each other but also of others finding them and taking their lives for the reward.

The mental pressure was immense, and in order to save their own lives, the two ultimately decided to abandon Luca on a street frequented by patrol officers.

Sure enough, the bounty was cancelled after Luca was taken away, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what they didn't know was that the child's father was secretly having someone investigate the matter.

The investigation quickly led to the bodyguard, and a covert investigation was then launched into all members of his family. This investigation was not targeted at any one bodyguard; all the bodyguards who had been dismissed were investigated in secret.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't care how much money it cost. He wanted to eliminate these hidden dangers for the sake of long-term stability and security. "A single blow can prevent a hundred blows"—that's the principle he was talking about.

With a significant investment of money, time, and manpower, regardless of cost, the truth behind this kidnapping case gradually came to light.

As a nationally renowned security company, such a scandal naturally infuriated the major shareholders. Most of these people were retired military personnel with no special skills, only earning a living by providing security for the wealthy and some large companies. This incident has completely wiped out the reputation they have built up over the years.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Once this incident is exposed, the security company will naturally lose its reputation in the industry, and the shareholders will suffer losses to varying degrees. The culprit behind all this is a gambler and his greedy girlfriend. Do you think they will easily forgive this gambler and his girlfriend?

So, shortly after their imprisonment, both men died one after the other due to in-prison disputes. Tommaso Kent's cousin also lost both legs and an arm in a bizarre car accident.

Moreover, all the bones in his body were broken, making him a disabled person who could not take care of himself.

That's why he survived.

The person who came to meet Huang Xiaochuan also brought video footage of the interrogation and related evidence materials, using a complete and closed chain of evidence to prove the authenticity of the matter, because only in this way could they obtain the remaining tens of millions of dollars.

Huang Xiaochuan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I understand. You can go now. I'll call her."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Shortly afterward, Zhang Yun received a call from Huang Xiaochuan.

What followed was a series of dazzling financial operations, through contracts between numerous shell companies, that resulted in the money being paid out.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiang also boarded a plane back from England.

Huang Xiaochuan took his two children to the airport early to pick up Yu Xiang. Originally, Lao Yu, Zheng Aiying, Lao Huang, and Zeng Lijuan were also going to come, but Huang Xiaochuan persuaded them not to. There is no reason for elders to pick up younger generations. Huang Xiaochuan told them to wait at home. Everything was arranged. Tonight, the whole family would hold a welcome dinner for Yu Xiang.

Huang Zeji stared expectantly at the crowd coming out of the international flight arrivals exit. He held Huang Xiaochuan's hand and stood on a trolley, tiptoeing, trying to find his mother in the crowd.

The little girl looked on with curiosity at the various foreigners in the airport.

She also asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Dad, why do those people look so colorful?"

Huang Xiaochuan knew the little girl was referring to her eyes, skin tone, and hair. He told her a saying he had heard in his previous life: "It's like this, just like in Grandma's garden there are red, yellow, and blue flowers, and puppies have white, black, and brown fur, we humans also have different colors. It is because of these colors that this world becomes so beautiful and so special!"

"Wow! So that's how it is?" The little girl exclaimed in amazement at her father's explanation.

Suddenly, Huang Zeji excitedly tugged at Huang Xiaochuan's hand: "Dad! I saw Mom!"

Huang Xiaochuan was somewhat incredulous. There were so many people, and he hadn't even seen Yu Xiang yet. How could he have seen his mother?

It seems that the child has a different way of recognizing his mother. Following the direction of Huang Zeji's little hand, Huang Xiaochuan indeed saw Yu Xiang, but the distance was too far. How could this child see that far?

Soon, Yu Xiang arrived with several of her colleagues, pushing suitcases. Upon seeing her two children, Yu Xiang immediately threw down her luggage and ran over, hugging each child tightly and showering them with kisses.

He also asked, "Did you miss your mom?"

Huang Zeji nestled in Yu Xiang's arms, "I miss you! I miss you every single day!"

The little girl suddenly became very obedient: "I want to too!"

As he spoke, he even put his arm around Yu Xiang's neck.

Huang Xiaochuan watched this scene of motherly love and filial piety with a smile. He was willing to bet that in a few days, the mother and daughter would return to the state they were in before Yu Xiang went abroad, and the house would be in chaos again.
