Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Li Yunfei's phone call was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts sank instantly, and an invisible pressure enveloped them.

"How could this happen?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her delicate brows furrowed, and the fingers holding the phone turned slightly white.

"Don't panic, Mengmeng, let's calm down first and understand the situation clearly." Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He dialed Li Yunfei's number but couldn't get through.

A feeling of uneasiness spread in the air. Xiao Yichen's parents also noticed something was wrong and asked what had happened.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. The company has encountered some minor problems. Mengmeng and I will handle it." Xiao Yichen tried his best to comfort his parents in a relaxed tone, but the tight corners of his mouth exposed his inner anxiety.

In the next few days, bad news came one after another. The closure of several stores was just the beginning. The enemy's methods were far more ruthless than they imagined. They used all kinds of connections, spread rumors, and maliciously suppressed Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's business layout almost collapsed overnight.

The once thriving business came to a standstill, the capital chain broke, partners withdrew their investments one after another, and employees were in a panic... The career that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had poured countless efforts into was like a small boat in the wind and rain, which could capsize at any time.

Faced with the sudden changes, different voices began to emerge among team members.

"I told you this plan was too risky, and now it's all over!"

"Miss Chu and Boss Xiao are too young and lack experience..."

Doubts, complaints, disappointment...all kinds of negative emotions spread within the team, and cracks began to appear in the former unity and trust.

"Enough!" Xiao Yichen slammed the table, interrupting everyone's discussion. He scanned everyone with sharp eyes, "I know everyone is worried now, but please believe me, believe Mengmeng, we will definitely find a solution!"

However, his words did not have much effect, and the doubts and uneasiness on the faces of the team members did not dissipate.

Late at night, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen sat side by side in the study, both of them silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed suffocating.

"Yi Chen, do you think we did something wrong?" Chu Mengmeng's voice was low and tired, and her once bright eyes had lost their luster.

Xiao Yichen held her hand and gave her strength: "Mengmeng, we are not wrong! We just want to protect ourselves, the children, and the people we love! We can't give up, and we can't lose!"

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the study.

"Boss, Madam Boss, something bad has happened, Xiaoxiao and Yaoyao..." The nanny ran in in a panic, speaking in a hurried tone and with a pale face.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came to their minds.

"What happened to Xiaoxiao and Yaoyao?"

"What happened to Xiaoxiao and Yaoyao?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen asked in unison, standing up suddenly, their heartbeats accelerating sharply.

The nanny panted and said intermittently: "Xiaoxiao...Yaoyao...was taken away...at school!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Chu Mengmeng's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Xiao Yichen held her tightly, forced himself to calm down, and asked sternly: "What's going on? Speak slowly!"

The nanny tried to calm her breathing and said tremblingly: "After school in the afternoon, the kindergarten teacher called and said that Xiaoxiao and Yaoyao were picked up by a strange man. The teacher thought he was your relative and didn't ask any more questions. But, I...I didn't pick them up!"

Chu Mengmeng couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes: "How could this happen? Who is it? Why did you take my child away?"

Xiao Yichen hugged his wife's trembling shoulders tightly, anger burning in his chest, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions. He forced himself to calm down and said to the nanny: "Don't worry, I'll call the police right away! Mengmeng, let's go to school!"

At school, surveillance footage showed that a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask deceived the teacher by pretending to be Xiao Yichen's relative and took the twins away.

"Damn it!" Looking at the blurry figure in the surveillance video, Xiao Yichen punched the table, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

"It must be them! They took the child away and wanted to force us to compromise!" Chu Mengmeng burst into tears, her heart filled with fear and self-blame.

Xiao Yichen held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Mengmeng, don't worry, we will definitely find the children! They won't hurt the children, they want us!"

However, in the following days, they did not receive any ransom calls or any news about the children. The police searched with all their might but still found nothing.

Chu Mengmeng cried all day and was close to mental breakdown. Xiao Yichen suppressed his inner grief, comforted his wife, and tried his best to find the whereabouts of the children.

"Yichen, what should we do? Our child... wuwu..." Chu Mengmeng leaned weakly in Xiao Yichen's arms, her voice hoarse.

Xiao Yichen patted her back gently, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Mengmeng, we can't give up! For the sake of the children, we have to persevere! I will find them, I promise!"

Under tremendous pressure, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had to re-examine their situation. They realized that the enemy they faced was far more cunning and powerful than they had imagined.

Late at night, in the study, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at the pile of documents spread out on the table with serious expressions.

"These are all the information we have about the enemy, but..." Xiao Yichen pointed at one of the documents, frowning, "Look here, their background..."

Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of his finger, her face turned pale instantly, and there were a few words written on the document...

Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of his finger, and her face turned pale instantly. There were a few words written on the document - "Overseas Consortium".

"How could this happen..." Chu Mengmeng muttered to herself, a chill running from the soles of her feet straight into her heart. She originally thought it was just an ordinary business competitor, but she didn't expect that such a huge force was involved behind it.

"It seems that we underestimated them," Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, closed the document, and said solemnly, "They took the children away, probably to use them to threaten our business cooperation, or even..."

"Even what?" Chu Mengmeng's heart was in her throat.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but just looked at her with complicated eyes, and then locked the documents in the safe. He knew that some things would only increase her worries if he said them now, and he had to find the children as soon as possible to protect them and this family.

At this moment, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the study. Xiao Yichen picked up the phone and his face changed suddenly.

"What? Something happened to my dad? I'm going to the hospital now!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yichen grabbed his coat and rushed out without any time to explain.

"Yi Chen, what happened?" Chu Mengmeng asked, feeling more and more uneasy.

"My dad was attacked on the construction site and is still being rescued!" Xiao Yichen's voice trembled, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, adding to the tense atmosphere. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng anxiously waited for the lights in the operating room to go out.

"How could this happen? Why would Dad be attacked?" Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand, trying to get some comfort from him, but his hands were ice cold.

"I don't know either," Xiao Yichen shook his head, frowning, "People on the construction site said that a man in black suddenly rushed out and attacked my dad, then ran away. The police are already investigating."

Time passed by, and the lights in the operating room finally went out. The doctor came out, took off his mask, and said tiredly: "The patient is no longer in danger of death, but..."

"But what?" Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng asked in unison.

"The patient suffered a severe head injury and may have some sequelae..." The doctor sighed, "We will have to wait until he wakes up before we can do further examinations to find out the specific situation."

Hearing this news, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng both felt dizzy. First the child was missing, and now the father was injured. The successive blows made them almost breathless.

"How could this happen..." Chu Mengmeng's tears burst out again, and she leaned weakly on Xiao Yichen's shoulder.

Xiao Yichen hugged her tightly, his eyes full of pain and self-blame. He knew that all this was because of him. If it weren't for him, the children wouldn't have been taken away and their father wouldn't have been hurt.

"Don't worry, Mengmeng, we will definitely find the children, and Dad will be fine." Xiao Yichen's voice was hoarse, but full of determination.

Late at night, in the hospital ward, Xiao Yichen's father was lying on the bed, unconscious. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stayed by his side, their hearts were heavy, but they still did not give up hope.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen's phone vibrated. He opened it and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number:

"If you want to save your child, come to the dock..."

Xiao Yichen stood up suddenly, his knuckles turning white as he held the phone, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

"They... have news."

"They... have news." Xiao Yichen's voice trembled slightly with excitement. He handed the phone to Chu Mengmeng. The screen displayed a short but informative text message: "If you want to save your child, come to the dock..."

"The wharf...?" Chu Mengmeng's heart suddenly shrank, and an inexplicable fear surged into her heart. The wharf was remote and the environment was complicated. The other party chose to trade there, which was obviously premeditated.

"What do they want to do? Why did they choose the dock?" Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled a little. She held Xiao Yichen's arm tightly, as if she was grabbing the last straw.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but held her hand tightly, with a flash of determination in his deep eyes. He knew that the other party chose to trade at the dock to create obstacles for them and make them afraid to act rashly. But no matter what, he would not give up his child, even at the cost of his life.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness, "We must go to the dock, but we can't alert the enemy."

Chu Mengmeng looked at the man in front of her. Even in the face of such a predicament, he remained calm and rational, which made her feel a little relieved. She nodded, indicating that she agreed with his plan.

"I will contact Li Yunfei and ask him to secretly investigate the situation at the dock. We must also make full preparations." Xiao Yichen said with a gleam in his eyes. He had already begun to make a plan in his mind.

At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and a man in a black windbreaker and a peaked cap walked in. He was tall, but his body was extremely agile, like a cheetah lurking in the dark night.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared warily, her heart full of questions.

The man did not answer her question, but slowly took off his hat, revealing an angular face and his deep eyes sparkling with wisdom.

"Hello, I'm here to help you." The man's deep voice rang out in the silent ward, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

"Help us? How do you know..." Chu Mengmeng looked at him in surprise, her heart full of doubts.

The man did not explain, but took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to them. The photo showed their missing twins, with terrified expressions on their faces, and they were obviously controlled.

"If you want to save the child, you must do as I say..." The man's voice was low and powerful, as if it carried some kind of magic, making Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen believe him involuntarily.

"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly. He felt that this man was not simple.

The man did not answer, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "My identity is not important, what is important is..."
