Meanwhile, in the black car;
Ellen, who was supposedly in 'China', was currently seated beside Song Xia and passing some food to her.
He asked with wrinkled brows, "Are you really planning to do that?"
The latter took it and started eating. "Yes, I must."
Tang Yan, who was driving, couldn't help but turn his head away. 'Incoming PDA warning!'
Song Xia took off her sunglasses as she sighed in annoyance while stuffing her mouth with food angrily.
"They are really going to take action today, right? I've waited for so long yet they did not even move a bit this few days. Sigh."
Ellen nodded his head as he gingerly wiped the cream on the corner of her lips, "Eat slowly. We still have a lot of time left."
Song Xia was stunned before she raised her own hand to wipe the cream off her mouth and shuffled away from him, "I'll do it myself!"
Ellen's eyes dimmed slightly but he didn't say anything. He just turned to glare at Tang Yan, who was silently laughing at him.
Song Xia finally relaxed when Ellen retracted his hands. For a moment, she felt like her heart was going to leap out of her throat when he closed in to her.
*Beep*
She fished out her phone from her pocket and read the message:
[Miss, a white car is following you. What do you plan to do next?]
A smirk surfaced on her mouth as she texted back: [Going inside the wolf's den.]
She then put the phone back in her pocket and looked out of the window. She discreetly turned her head back and as expected, saw a white car trailing them closely.
Turning back as if nothing happened, she tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear with a devilish grin on her beautiful face.
'Whoever it is, I won't let you escape.. I've been wanting to vent out my anger lately. You're a perfect punching bag for me.'
Tang Yan saw her smirk and involuntarily shivered. 'What is this devil plotting?'

The car came to a stop at a nearby street.
Song Xia got out with the bodyguard guarding her. She merrily bought some street foods, seemingly carefree.
She paid for them and was about to return to the car when she noticed a familiar small figure in a distance away and was astounded.
She saw the figure being dragged by some men to an alley and immediately dropped the things in her hand as she ran after him.
The bodyguard blinked as he bent down to pick up the food but when he was about to follow her, he found out that she was gone.
He freaked out as he started roaming here and there in search of his young miss.
In an alley.
Song Xia hid behind a pole and looked at Song Yucheng being dragged to a van and couldn't help but dash towards him.
"You! Let go of the kid!" She cried out as she pushed the men away and hugged the small kid.
Trembling, she pointed at the burly men and shouted with red eyes, "What.. What are you all doing?! It's a crime to abduct a little child!"
"Sister. Please save me! They are bad guys!" The kid's childish voice sounded like he was crying with grievances.
Song Yucheng shivered in her arms as if he was scared but his expressionless face, which was buried in her arms, told otherwise.
Song Xia bit her lips as she hugged him tightly with red rimmed eyes and coaxed him. "Don't be afraid.. I'm here.. I won't let them take you away.."
The men hovered around them as one of them yelled, "Mind your own business and forget that this all happened! Otherwise, you'll also not be spared!"
Song Xia panicked at the sight of those big men but was determined to stay as she gritted her teeth, "No matter what you say, I won't leave!"
She then took out her phone while trembling, "I'm going to call the police if you all don't leave this child alone!"
The men were exasperated at the mention of police. They hesitated before running away in a haste, as if scared that she'd call the police.
Song Xia heaved a sigh of relief as she squatted down and hugged the 'scared' child.
Song Yucheng hugged her neck as his eyes gradually turned cold. He then took out a syringe from his sleeves and injected it on her neck.
Song Xia suddenly froze as she touched the back of her neck, then at the kid who had backstabbed her in shock.
Her eyes slowly closed as she fell on the ground, unconscious.
Song Yucheng looked at her with a dull expression. 'Such a foolish woman!' He silently stood up and gestured at those men from earlier.
Throwing the empty syringe away, he watched as the men carried her away to the van with emotionless eyes.

In an abandoned mansion;
Song Xia opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room, which contained nothing but few computers. The door was shut tight.
She tilted her head at the monitors and saw different security footages of the alley she was in just now.
Song Xia subconsciously tried to touch her sore neck but she couldn't do so, as her hands and legs were tied.
But her eyes were calm with no hint of panic or fear. She clicked her tongue.
'Song Yucheng, huh.. Don't tell me that my elder brother was behind all of this crap.. Hah.'
She leaned against the wall as her exquisite face turned expressionless, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
'This room is so filthy, they should've at least cleaned the room before locking me inside!' Though she wasn't a clean-freak, she naturally cared about her hygiene.
She looked around and found that there was only a chair in the whole room except for the computers.
'Ugh, they could've at least tied me on a chair instead.. My brand new clothes have already turned dirty..'
She heard faint footsteps and quickly shut her eyes. 'Oh, they're here..'
The door creaked open as a tall figure walked in, followed by two men and one small figure.
Song Xia wanted so badly to open her eyes but she controlled herself and stayed motionless.
Man no. 1 spoke haughtily, "There was no need to dispatch such a large amount of bodyguards just for a mere woman! She's really cowardly and timid as expected!"
Man No. 2 chimed in, "Yes, Boss! This girl was so frightened by us that she was trembling! She even had the misconception that we would be afraid of the police!"
At this moment, Song Xe Yong's voice rang out, "Stop. Go wake her up."
He then turned to his son as he asked, "Did you give her an extra doze? Why isn't she awake yet?"
"No, I didn't." Song Yucheng calmly answered.
On the other hand, the two men walked towards Song Xia. Man No. 1 took out a bottle of water and poured the cold water on her to wake her up.
Song Xia's eyelashes quivered as she opened her eyes. She looked around and then at the two men, her eyes widening.
Revealing a shocked expression, "You.. Who are you all?! What.. What am I doing here?!"
She couldn't help but shudder as she instinctively tried to rub her arms but failed. 'I want to curse! This guy actually splashed water on me!'
Her arms hurt when she struggled and she could already see faint red marks appearing on her wrist.
So she stopped struggling and started screaming instead, "Get me out of here! What.. Why did you kidnap me?! You'll pay the price if you dare to lay a hand on me!"
Man No. 2 backhanded her with a stern expression, "Shut up your mouth! Our Boss is here! Don't you dare shout in front of him!"
'What? Is your Boss a god that I can't even talk?'
Song Xia felt the stinging pain on her cheeks and her eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. If it weren't that she was awaiting Ellen's arrival, she'd have already beaten them up!
Maintaining her fragile flower persona, she whimpered with her eyes full of tears. "Y-you.. Why did you kidnap me.."
The two men fell into a daze when they saw a dazzling beauty in tears. They couldn't help but feel guilty and have the urge to protect her.
Song Xia almost showed a disgusted expression on her face. She turned to Song Xe Yong and Song Yu Cheng.
"..What do you all want? If it's money, you can take my card from the bag.. Please spare me.. I-I'm just a woman, please spare me.."
