Chapter 1096: Bad News

Yan Xue received the news and was already waiting at the door.

The moment she saw Song Dabai being rescued, she was overwhelmed with joy and tears, rushing forward to hug Dabai’s small body.

"Dabai! My darling! Luckily, you’re safe. How do you feel? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Yan Xue, still worried, held Song Dabai’s arms and carefully checked him front, back, left, and right.

Once she confirmed that Dabai only had some scrapes on his knees and arms, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The board members of Curtis Art School hurried over to apologize upon hearing the news.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, we’re so sorry. We were negligent. Fortunately, we found out in time, and Dabai is okay. You see..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jihan’s face instantly changed color.

"What, are you trying to shirk responsibility? A child goes missing in broad daylight at school, and it’s lucky we found him quickly. What explanation will you give if something happens to him?!"

"This... this..."

The board members were speechless, each wiping sweat from their foreheads.

Lu Jihan, however, first gave them a way out: "This time I’ll let it go, but you’d better strengthen the school’s security measures. If there’s a next time, I won’t let your school off the hook!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Rest assured, there absolutely won’t be a next time!"

The board members nodded repeatedly, apologizing meekly, not daring to refute.

Lu Jihan huffed and helped his wife and son into the car.

Given the current situation, Song Dabai would definitely take a leave to calm down at home.

"Shen Kang, it’s a critical time. Assign more people to strengthen security around the old residence, ensuring everyone’s safety."

"Okay."

Shen Kang responded, paused slightly, and furrowed his brow, asking, "Mr. Lu, actually I... I have a question."

"Go ahead."

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Kang said, "Based on our understanding of Yan Zhengxiong, he’s ruthless and capable of anything, having caused us significant trouble before. But why this time did he spare little master Dabai...?"

Shen Kang’s query was exactly what Lu Jihan had been thinking.

Indeed, considering Yan Zhengxiong’s modus operandi, he’s capable of more vicious tactics than this.

Initially, even Jihan feared that once his son fell into Yan Zhengxiong’s hands, his life would be at risk.

But they found Dabai without much effort.

This indeed doesn’t match Yan Zhengxiong’s way of doing things.

Thinking slightly, Lu Jihan suddenly thought of something.

"Shen Kang, quickly inform your people to ensure Song Anqi’s safety!"

Shen Kang was also taken aback at the words: "Mr. Lu, do you mean Yan Zhengxiong is diverting attention, and the true target is Song Anqi?!"

"Mm."

Lu Jihan responded, his thick eyebrows furrowing deeply.

In fact, he had anticipated this step for a long time.

Since he had seen through Song Anqi’s identity, for Yan Zhengxiong, she’d become a broken piece on the chessboard. More than that, she had even turned into a ticking time bomb.

After all, staying by Yan Zhengxiong’s side, she must know many of his secrets.

To prevent her from being used against him, Yan Zhengxiong would certainly find ways to get rid of Song Anqi!

While pondering, Shen Kang’s phone vibrated.

He glanced down, his expression startled, then looked up gravely at Lu Jihan.

Both of them realized that this call probably brought bad news.
