Yu Zhuyin and Jiang Nanshu exchanged a glance; the opportunity had arrived.
Old Fifth walked in with a gun, the loaded gun pointed at Yu Zhuyin’s head: “Hold out your hand and behave yourself.”
Unarmed, she could only extend her hands with a dark expression. Handcuffs bound her wrists, and the gun was turned to Jiang Nanshu.
Four big, strong men stood before her, all well-prepared.
Jiang Nanshu suppressed the urge to attack and calmly asked, “With my hands cuffed, who will hold this child? Would you be willing to hold her?”
The men gave the child a disdainful look.
She was originally bait. Now that the person was captured, she was of no use to them. Of course, that’s not entirely true. When the time comes to kill Jiang Nanshu, the task will still have to be left to the girl’s mother.
They didn’t want to have blood on their hands and go to jail.
But none of them wanted to carry her; the child looked filthy.
Old Fifth frowned, and after a long pause, he finally made up his mind: “You take her. Don’t try anything funny. Even if you’re dead, Lu Qingyan will come as long as he wants you to be buried.”
Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips; this was the first time she had seen a corpse pose a threat.
But Jiang Nanshu believed what the kidnappers said.
Her belly was too big to carry Youyou in her arms, so she had to carry her on her back.
After several hours of wiping her down with cold water, her body temperature had dropped considerably.
Jiang Nanshu continued, “Could you give this child a fever reducer? A dead person can’t threaten anyone. If her fever doesn’t go down, she might not survive tonight.”
Old Fifth frowned even more deeply.
The leading man gave Jiang Nanshu a meaningful look before saying in a deep voice, “Give her a fever reducer. Whether this child lives or dies is entirely up to her fate. If she dies, it is none of our business.”
How could it be none of their business?
If it weren’t for them, she should be receiving treatment in the hospital right now.
But Jiang Nanshu smiled faintly: “Of course. If she dies, we can only say that the child is unlucky. We’ll just find a hole to bury her then.”
Old Fifth then grumbled as he went to find the medicine, throwing down a box: “Take this. This little brat needs to die a little longer, so as not to delay our business.”
The leading man handed Jiang Nanshu a bottle of mineral water.
Jiang Nanshu then fed Youyou the medicine.
After feeding her the medicine, Old Fifth impatiently grabbed Jiang Nanshu and dragged her to the car: “Hurry up, don’t delay.”
“We still have a long way to go on the mountain road.”
This wasn’t the end yet.
Jiang Nanshu first carried Youyou into the car.
She looked in the rearview mirror and saw the wooden house getting farther and farther away.
…
Half an hour after Jiang Nanshu and the group left, the wooden house was forcefully kicked open. Lu Qingyan went inside to carefully search for Jiang Nanshu.
She had been missing for nearly six hours, and he was almost frantic.
Lu Qingyan kicked open the bedroom door. The blankets inside were wrinkled. His bloodshot eyes scanned the room, and when his gaze fell on a corner under the bed, he paused for a moment before picking it up instantly.
It was the talisman he had obtained for Jiang Nanshu; it had been opened before. Lu Qingyan quickly tore it open; on it were a few words written in blood: “I am safe, do not worry.”
Lu Qingyan’s eyes instantly reddened.
It felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly by a big hand, causing him excruciating pain with every breath.
How could he not worry?
He wished that it were he suffering, not Jiang Nanshu.
He gripped the talisman tightly and took a deep breath.
