Chapter 987 A Crisis

After the awards ceremony, Nan Chen and Ning Ran didn't leave Norwal City right away.

Since the marriage proposal was a success, Nan Chen wanted to take his celebrity wife on a week's holiday. Hence, they had no plans to return home for the time being.

As the few countries nearby Norwal City had beautiful scenery and amazing food, Nan Chen—who was familiar with the area—wanted to tour them with Ning Ran on a relaxing road trip.

Two days into their trip, Qiao Zhan arrived with terrible news—Dabao had been kidnapped.

Nan Chen glowered at Qiao Zhan at once. “Didn't I tell you to tighten security when we're out of the country?”

Qiao Zhan's face brimmed with guilt. “I did. Little Master and Little Miss were protected by our ten most powerful men. The kidnappers were professionals armed with sophisticated weapons, putting our men at a huge disadvantage.”

Nan Chen's brows furrowed tightly. “What do you mean by professionals?”

“They're foreign mercenaries armed with advanced weapons and explosives. All of our men were grievously injured, two of whom are still in the emergency room. It wasn't a case of them not doing their best but that they were simply outgunned. In the end, it was Little Master who ordered them to stop resisting,” Qiao Zhan explained.

“Dabao told them to stand down?” Ning Ran was even more puzzled.

“The kidnappers wanted to capture Dabao and Erbao, so our men were badly hurt in their effort to defend the children. In the end, Dabao came forward to stop them. He offered to go with the kidnappers in exchange for letting our men and his sister go free. He said that he was the most valuable hostage as Nan Chen's son. Regardless of what their goal was, having him would be enough to achieve it. Once the kidnappers were convinced, they really let Erbao and the rest of our men go before leaving with Dabao.”

Qiao Zhan hung his head throughout his report, assuming responsibility for the dereliction of his duty.

With Nan Chen and Ning Ran overseas, Qiao Zhan was naturally left in charge.

On top of that, he had at his disposal the bulk of the bodyguards, who were all elite warriors in their own right.

Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to carry firearms, a fact that became their Achilles heel when faced with the heavily armed mercenaries.

Consequently, no one could blame them for what happened.

“Has the police found any leads? Does the public know about it yet?” Nan Chen inquired with a frown.

He had quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of panic.

Although Dabao was everything to him, he knew that it would be futile to act impulsively.
