Luo Bo was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. "Perhaps Xiao Luo turned off her phone herself. We've been arguing lately, and she's been deliberately going against me, turning off her phone and disappearing. This has happened several times."
Luo Bo didn't sound anxious, but I was still worried. I quickly asked, "Arguing? What are you arguing about?"
Luo Bo sighed. "Ye Qingcheng came to see me..."
...
Ye Qingcheng had approached Luo Bo regarding the shares of "Chinese Style." She wanted to leverage Luo Bo's current influence to investigate Teacher Wang Ren. Luo Bo had refused Ye Qingcheng's request.
The fact that the two of them met was coincidentally known by Yu Xiao Luo, who was at the company that day to handle some paperwork. Yu Xiao Luo knew that Ye Qingcheng was Luo Bo's ex-girlfriend, so how could she not ask? If Luo Bo told the truth, he would have to reveal everything about me. Thus, Luo Bo said nothing, only that they had bumped into each other by chance and had dinner.
Yu Xiao Luo sensed that her husband, Luo Bo, was hiding something from her. They started to argue. Luo Bo asked Yu Xiao Luo to control her sugar intake, and Yu Xiao Luo deliberately went against Luo Bo. When Luo Bo became firm, Yu Xiao Luo's temper flared up like a firecracker, instantly igniting. You don't even know where I am, and you expect to know what I'm eating?

One was concerned about his wife's safety, and the other was throwing a tantrum. Neither of them would back down. Otherwise, why would Yu Xiao Luo call me to ask when I was coming to Beijing?
...
Luo Bo insisted that Yu Xiao Luo was just throwing a tantrum. He said that Yu Xiao Luo turned off her phone as soon as she got into the taxi, which was clearly her own doing. But I didn't think so. Yu Xiao Luo had eaten so much earlier, her anger should have subsided. They were arguing, not breaking up. She could act out, but she wouldn't risk her life, especially with an eight-month-old baby in her belly!
To be honest, Luo Bo's judgment was reasonable. But my sense of danger came not from evidence, but from intuition. This growing sense of crisis washed over me like a tide, impossible to suppress with mere logic.
...
After hanging up the phone, I decided to act on my own. I first called 110 and said I had left my wallet in a taxi. I then provided the license plate number and asked them to help me find the taxi driver's contact information.
With the Olympics approaching, the taxi system was comprehensive, and it was easy to find a taxi driver's details. 110 helped me check, but said there was a problem with the license plate number I provided; the taxi company's system did not have this taxi.
It was impossible for this car not to exist. I remembered the license plate clearly, not a single letter or number was wrong. This time, I was sure my judgment was correct. Something had happened! After hanging up on 110, I immediately called Luo Bo again. After hearing the whole story, Luo Bo was completely panicked. He said he would immediately use his police connections to search for Yu Xiao Luo.
As for me, I called the taxi driver I had been talking to earlier and followed the direction the taxi had left, searching for it. After a few phone calls, that taxi was long gone. What must I do now? I looked at the driver and suddenly sighed that there was always a way out.
So, I asked this taxi driver about the situation of the previous driver.

"That driver just now, he didn't look like he was from a taxi company. He wasn't taking fares and was just smoking by the roadside. You know, because of the Olympics, the company doesn't allow us to smoke during operating hours anymore. The smell of smoke would make customers uncomfortable, wouldn't it?"
"Master, have you seen the driver of that car before?"
"There are many restaurants here, and many people wait for fares. Even if you don't know them, they don't look like strangers, but I haven't seen this person. He looked like he was waiting for someone and didn't take any fares."
"How many short trips did you take?"
"4 trips!"
"What did those 4 people look like?"
"I can't remember that clearly. Oh, wait, it wasn't four people, but three. One of them said they left something at the restaurant and came back to get it."
...
I understood. They had deliberately laid an ambush here, waiting for Yu Xiao Luo. Therefore, as long as a taxi was waiting here, their people would hail it for short trips, clearing out the taxis. In Beijing at night, it was usually peak hours for taxis, and a few people could accomplish this. The driver just mentioned that the driver of the taxi Yu Xiao Luo took was smoking.
But when I saw Yu Xiao Luo into the car, I didn't smell any smoke. If the car had been smoky, I wouldn't have let Yu Xiao Luo get in. Therefore, their people were constantly changing, meaning they were a gang, about 3-4 people.

If all of this hadn't happened because of me, it might have been due to the situation between Luo Bo and Ye Qingcheng. From what I knew of Ye Qingcheng, she wasn't skilled in extreme methods. Lu Yao's matter had touched her psychological red line, which led to that cruel situation. If she wanted to force Luo Bo, I believed Ye Qingcheng had more ways. Moreover, Xiao Zi'an had said that Ye Qingcheng had already gone to Sichuan.
So, these people must be from the enemy's side. Their plan wasn't difficult. From the perspective of a schemer, this method is called the "Utmost Game Theory System." They tricked Yu Xiao Luo into the taxi, and they must have had some equipment to block Yu Xiao Luo's phone signal. Then, they would act against Yu Xiao Luo. Thinking of this, my eyes turned red. These bastards, if my sister and her child suffered any harm, I would kill them all!
...
Although I was furious, I had to force myself to calm down. Beijing was too vast. We had only driven a few kilometers, passing several intersections. In this situation, finding Yu Xiao Luo was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Stop, stop, stop..." I shouted at the driver. We couldn't keep searching blindly like this. Time was precious now; every second gained would mean a minute less danger for Yu Xiao Luo and her child.
"What's wrong?"
"Where did you go on those short trips just now?"
"All within 10 kilometers."
"In the same direction?"
"No, different locations."

"Do you have a map?"
"Yes! A Beijing tourist map, three yuan each."
"Give it to me, and a pen."
On the map, I first pinpointed the destinations of those people, then drew a straight line between two points, and finally, the lines intersected to form a triangle. I pointed at the triangle and asked the driver, "Are there any secluded places around here?"
"Wha... what do you mean by secluded places?"
"Abandoned, very few people."
"Oh, oh, there's a half-finished building!"
"Let's go to that half-finished building."
The driver drove us to the half-finished building. When we arrived, I immediately saw that taxi, with all four doors open. I quickly called Luo Bo, then stuffed all the cash I had to the taxi driver: "Wait for me here."
"Sh... should we call the police?" The driver was very flustered.

"No, I'm a police officer. Wait here and don't move." I shouted as I ran towards the half-finished building. I saw a floor with a yellow safety light. When I ran up, there were three thugs, and the scene was a mess. It looked like they had intended to harm Yu Xiao Luo. But who was Yu Xiao Luo? The ceiling of combat power in my heart. Even pregnant, she couldn't be handled by a few small-time thugs. Now, they were all knocked down, but Yu Xiao Luo, the victor, was not in good shape either. She was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, her face extremely pale, trembling, holding a piece of rebar in her hand.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"I moved too much, my stomach hurts terribly, and I can't stand up."
"Let's go, let's go to the hospital!"
I used all my strength to help Yu Xiao Luo up and walked downstairs. As we reached the taxi, Yu Xiao Luo couldn't hold on any longer. Her pants were wet. "Tang Nan, you must save the baby."
"What are you talking about? We'll save both of you."
After speaking, I shouted to the taxi driver: "Quick, come and help!"
The driver ran over, glanced at Yu Xiao Luo, and being an experienced middle-aged man, asked, "Has her water broken?"
"What does that mean? What do we do if it's broken?"
"It means she's about to give birth. Quick, quick, let's go to the hospital."

The two of us helped Yu Xiao Luo into the car, but as soon as we got in, she started bleeding. Yu Xiao Luo was half-conscious. I was stunned. Even though I didn't know anything, bleeding was not a good sign. "Sister, sister, hold on. Driver, drive quickly!"
The driver, an older man, saw Yu Xiao Luo's condition and didn't start the car. He said seriously, "There's no hospital nearby. If we go to a distant hospital like this, she might not make it."
"Then what should we do? Call 120?"
The driver took out a first-aid kit from the front and said to me, "This was prepared for the Olympics. I'll call 120, and you deliver the baby in the car."
"Me!"
"Yes... I don't know how to do it either. You're her brother, so of course, you have to do it!"
I didn't even know what I was supposed to do at that moment. Yu Xiao Luo held on until the last second. I held the bloody baby, and Yu Xiao Luo fell into a coma. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. Crying and calling out to Yu Xiao Luo, she didn't react at all.
