Because he was conducting an experiment, he didn't even check the caller ID.

But he still heard his daughter's last words.

His precious granddaughter, Sunian, had been kidnapped. Although Suguo usually didn't show much concern for his family, he actually loved his daughter deeply in his heart.

Especially that lively and mischievous granddaughter, every time Suguo was tired from his experiments, he would take out her photos to look at.

Now that his granddaughter had been kidnapped, he felt extremely anxious. Many students around him saw the usually unflappable old professor, after receiving the call, just standing there in a daze.

Some students who were closer to him had already heard the word "kidnapping," as Su Mei's voice on the phone was quite loud, and many nearby people had heard it.

A student, seeing the old professor's body shaking, quickly went over to support him.

Suguo had dedicated his entire life to experiments, and encountering such a situation left him at a loss. At this moment, what he most wanted to do was to be by his daughter's side.

From the phone call just now, he could already sense his daughter's unstable emotions.

He wanted to be with his daughter, and all the experiments and research could wait. Now, his daughter and granddaughter were the most important.

In this way, he put aside his experiments and the research he loved, and now he only wanted to be a father and a grandfather.

Several observant students saw the fear, unease, and deep self-reproach on the professor's face as he left.

The news of Suguo's granddaughter being kidnapped quickly spread throughout the research institute.

Although it was just a small institute, it was home to many capable people.

Suguo's institute was directly under the state, and the director was a renowned figure who enjoyed a state allowance.

Everyone began to use their connections to help Suguo find his granddaughter. This was the result of the professor's many years of building relationships, and many people volunteered to help without being asked.

Nanlin Island.

Ye Yuan rode his shark to this place tonight.

He originally planned to take the shark to Zhang Gui's fish farm for a tour, but the shark brought him here instead.

Ye Yuan knew that the shark usually stayed in this area during the day, but today it brought him here for no apparent reason. The shark dropped Ye Yuan off at the spot closest to the shore.

Ye Yuan noticed a speedboat docked at the shore.

He had been to Nanlin Island many times and had never seen any signs of human habitation.

Today, the shark's unusual behavior and the speedboat on the island made Ye Yuan decide to go and check it out.

After calming the shark, he stealthily swam to Nanlin Island.

He arrived at the long-abandoned resort hotel and noticed a faint light coming from deep inside the second floor, which looked like the light from an old kerosene lamp.

He cautiously approached and stopped a few meters away from the light, discovering that it was coming from a room without a door.

Occasionally, voices could be heard from inside the room.

"Dogzi, can't you be quiet? Stop rambling all the time," said a young man's voice.

"Aren't you scared? This is a kidnapping. I don't trust Gui. What if he gets the money and leaves us behind?"

"That's unlikely," the young man's voice said again.

"You haven't been with him long, so you don't know him. He's very selfish. If he hadn't said that if we pull this off, he would forgive my debt, I wouldn't have done it. But why are you doing this?"

"Ah, it's because of my family... I don't want to talk about it, it's too distressing."

Then the room fell silent.

Ye Yuan didn't dare to get too close. From the brief conversation, he knew there were at least two people, and he didn't know if they had weapons.

Just as Ye Yuan was thinking about whether he should get involved, the young man's voice sounded again.

"Dogzi, watch him, I need to go to the bathroom."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan immediately hid in a dark corner.

He saw a person walk out of the room, but the light was too dim to see his face clearly.

The figure walked down to the first floor, and Ye Yuan followed carefully to see where he was going.

If he could get this person away from the others, Ye Yuan believed that with his current strength, subduing him shouldn't be a problem.

Soon, the person walked out of the abandoned building and came to a small mound nearby, humming a song and unbuttoning his belt.

Ye Yuan took out a bat from his pocket and, timing it just right, struck the person's back with all his might. It was the first time he had attacked someone from behind, and he used a lot of force.

There was a "crack" followed by the sound of the person falling to the ground, accompanied by groans of pain.

Ye Yuan quickly took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the person's mouth. The person's arms didn't resist at all, indicating that the blow was quite severe.

He found some rope and tied the person up.

Just as he finished, a trembling voice came from behind him.

"Who are you?"

Ye Yuan turned around and saw a person standing behind him, holding a baseball bat and pointing it at him. Perhaps out of nervousness or fear, the hand holding the bat was shaking.

Ye Yuan didn't answer but raised his bat and charged at the man.

The man, seeing Ye Yuan charge, raised the bat and swung it down. Since Ye Yuan had practiced his skills, his reflexes had greatly improved. What seemed slow to an ordinary person was very slow to Ye Yuan.

He easily dodged the attack and struck the man's wrist with his bat. Since Ye Yuan didn't know his current combat ability, he used full force.

"Crack"

The man's wrist deformed, and he clutched it with his other hand and ran towards the shore.

Ye Yuan quickly chased after him and kicked him, sending him sprawling on the ground.

He tied up the second person and, pulling his hair, dragged him to where the first person was, causing the man to cry out in pain, "Easy, brother, easy."

Ye Yuan tied the two men to two different trees and asked them,

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Brother, let's talk. We're just the night watchmen here. This place is abandoned, and our boss plans to develop it, so he sent us to watch over it," the second man answered.

Ye Yuan knew he wasn't telling the truth and hit him with the bat, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Stop, stop, we're Gui's men. We kidnapped a little girl and are watching her here. We don't know anything else."

"Which Gui?"

Ye Yuan had a hunch about who it was.

"Zhang Gui, the Zhang Gui from Pinghai County."

"Sure enough, it's him," Ye Yuan thought.

"Who did you kidnap?"

Ye Yuan pressed further.

"We don't know. It's just a little girl. Gui didn't say anything, he just told us to wait for a call here."

The two men, enduring the pain, confessed everything.

Ye Yuan ignored them and went directly to the room where the little girl was being held. In the dim light, he saw a little girl in a pink dress, with tears still on her face. She looked to be about 3-4 years old, younger than his own daughter.
