"Mo Han..." Wei Yumeng softly called out his name.
Zhang Lin also stood up and turned to look, his eyes meeting Zhan Mohan's.
Zhan Mohan, of course, did not come alone. Besides the bodyguards he brought and Fang Xun, the airport security guards had also been mobilized upon learning that Zhang Lin was there.
Zhang Lin was now trapped with no escape.
Zhang Lin looked at Zhan Mohan, then at Wei Yumeng, and finally understood what was happening.
Logically, Zhan Mohan should not have known about his plan to go abroad. Therefore, there could only be one possibility: Wei Yumeng had told Zhan Mohan.
Wei Yumeng was still a little nervous looking at Zhan Mohan. She did not want Zhan Mohan and Zhang Lin to have a direct confrontation, because Zhan Shiqing was still in Zhang Lin's hands.
Perhaps with just one phone call from Zhang Lin, Zhan Shiqing's situation could worsen.
"Mo Han, don't come over," Wei Yumeng said, a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Zhan Mohan knew what Wei Yumeng was worried about. On his way here, he had already been informed of Zhan Shiqing's whereabouts.
However, there was still no news of the child being rescued.
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Zhang Lin smirked, "Mr. Zhan, did you hear that? She doesn't need you to save her. From today onwards, she is my woman."
Certainly not!
Wei Yumeng wanted to retort, but the situation was delicate, and she couldn't anger Zhang Lin.
Wei Yumeng's silence made Zhang Lin even more arrogant. "Mr. Zhan, you should go back. After Yu Meng and I board the plane, I will naturally release your child. After all, that is your only hope."
Zhan Mohan took another step forward. "Zhang Lin, do you really think you can leave this airport today?"
As soon as he spoke, the bodyguards all got into a combat-ready stance, looking like soldiers about to go into battle.
Most people would be terrified by such a display.
Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Lin's forehead. It seemed he wouldn't be leaving easily today.
"Isn't that so? I don't believe you would harm Yu Meng. Even for her sake, you wouldn't dare do anything to me."
As Zhang Lin said this, he suddenly grabbed Wei Yumeng and held her in front of him, using her as a shield.
"Zhan Mohan, I'm telling you, if you dare lay a hand on me today, I will immediately send Wei Yumeng to hell with me."
Zhan Mohan let out a cold laugh. "Didn't you claim to love her? Why are you using her as a shield now? Is what you feel for her love?"
He took a few more steps forward as he spoke.
"Of course it is! What do you people understand? My love is different from yours. I want her by my side forever, no matter where I go. And she loves me too, which is why she will step forward to protect me when I am in danger, right?"
Zhang Lin said this and rubbed his face against Wei Yumeng's, his expression one of enjoyment.
Zhan Mohan felt a surge of anger but could not unleash it for the moment.
He could only secretly resolve to make Zhang Lin pay the price once he was caught.
Zhan Mohan scoffed at Zhang Lin's words. "You don't know what love is at all. Love is never just about possession; it's more about respect, respecting her choices, respecting everything about her."
Zhan Mohan was trying to keep Zhang Lin's attention focused on himself and buy more time.
Wei Yumeng noticed Fang Xun making a gesture, signaling her to look for an opportunity to run towards Zhan Mohan.
And Zhan Mohan was clearly getting closer to them.
However, Wei Yumeng did not disbelieve Zhan Mohan; she simply could not make the choice. She had to ensure the child's safety first.
She shook her head at Fang Xun, who could only be anxious.
Zhan Mohan also frowned. He didn't know how much longer he could stall.
"How about this, let's make a deal?" Zhan Mohan sat down on a chair in the waiting area. "Given your current situation, you're wanted nationwide. Even if you leave here, you won't be able to live a peaceful life. So, if you return my wife and child to me, I can make all these troubles disappear, and you can even remain the esteemed movie star you are."
Hearing this offer, Zhang Lin visibly wavered, and the grip on Wei Yumeng's hand even loosened.
"Are you serious?"
Zhan Mohan nodded. "Of course. Do you think I don't have the capability?"
Zhang Lin had never doubted Zhan Mohan's abilities. In fact, he knew very well how formidable Zhan Mohan was, having already suffered losses at his hands before.
Held by Zhang Lin, Wei Yumeng clearly felt his grip weaken. This might be her best chance to escape.
But...
At that moment, Fang Xun's phone rang. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then deliberately switched the call to speakerphone so everyone could hear the message.
"Mr. Zhan, we have successfully rescued the child."
"Mom! Dad! I'm okay now. Please come back quickly," Zhan Shiqing cried out.
"How is this possible?" Zhang Lin froze, surprised that Zhan Mohan had found the child.
Before he could react, his wrist suddenly hurt, causing him to involuntarily release Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng immediately ran towards Zhan Mohan, who caught her steadily.
Then, the bodyguards swarmed forward.
Everything happened so quickly that by the time Zhang Lin realized what was happening, he was already pinned to the ground by the bodyguards.
Wei Yumeng, holding onto Zhan Mohan tightly, said, "Thank goodness you came. I thought... I really thought I would have to leave with him for the child."
Zhan Mohan held her just as tightly. "Silly, I told you I would never let you leave me. So, no matter what it takes, I will make you stay."
Fang Xun watched the reunion with a smile, reluctant to interrupt, but they couldn't just stand there waiting.
"Ahem." Fang Xun coughed awkwardly. "Mr. Zhan, what should we do with him next?"
"Let me go!" Zhang Lin struggled even while being restrained.
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment. "Since he likes to imprisoness so much, find a place and lock him up for a few days before sending him to the police."
"You can't send me to jail! You can't!" Zhang Lin shouted.
To Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan, the man had clearly lost his mind.
"Yu Meng, remember how good I was to you before? Please let me go. I don't want to go to jail. I'm a star. If I become a criminal, everything will be lost."
But Wei Yumeng merely glanced at him indifferently. "When you did all these things, your radiance was already replaced by darkness. There's no turning back."
