It's not good to start, it's simply terrible, okay?
How is this kidnapping? This is simply asking for an ancestor to come back and pay tribute to.
However, they had no choice. The higher-ups had instructed that the girl in front of them could not be beaten or scolded. Even in such a down and out environment, they had to make a clean set of bedding for the girl in order for her to rest.
Presumably, the other party had also noticed. It had to be said that the girl in front of them was not only beautiful, but also exceptionally intelligent. More importantly, it was the other party's identity.
Thinking of this, the cold-faced man was in a bad mood. However, he was also an experienced person. If the person in front of him did not cause any trouble, he could just let her relax a little.
Even if there was a strange sound in this courtyard, it was not a big deal. This haunted house had long been ingrained in the minds of the surrounding neighbors. Moreover, this house was very big, and there were no neighbors on either side. Even if she shouted, no one would hear her.
Moreover, they did care about what Kang Xiaoqiao said. The higher-ups told them to take her away unscathed. However, this girl's face was indeed too tender. It was indeed a problem for her to be stuck with tape for a long time.
Just like that, the two of them unwillingly took Kang Xiaoqiao's backpack and even made her a cup of water.
After the person left, Kang Xiaoqiao's relaxed expression instantly disappeared. She opened her bag and sure enough, her big block of a phone was gone. However, the good thing was that the other things were all there.
However, most of them were for food. As for the weapon on her body, the dagger that she always carried with her all year round had naturally been taken away by someone. Kang Xiaoqiao was not surprised by this at all.
That cold-faced man was not easy to deal with.
It seemed that Lu Yichen was already looking for her. However, if it was a big imperial city, it would not be easy to find her.
She had to think of a way to save herself.
However, it was impossible for the other party to let her out of their sight. Kang Xiaoqiao looked around the room, but there was nothing there. She did not even have a chance to light a fire.
On the other hand, Lu Yichen searched all of Zhen Aiyin's mansions, but he did not find anything. Now that two hours had passed, it was obvious that everyone was anxious.
Lu Yichen held the map and looked at it again and again. "No matter how fast those people are, they can only reach this area with their feet. The city is sealed from the outside to the inside, so they can't have gone far--"
"Search, search every single house--"
Lu Yichen's eyes were red as he gave the order. When Xia Zijun heard this, he frowned and said, "This is too time-consuming. Moreover, this kind of commotion is too big--"
It was indeed a big commotion, but Lu Yichen couldn't care less. There was still hope to investigate, but if they didn't investigate, there was no hope at all.
The Xia family members saw Lu Yichen's attitude and fell silent. Miao Zhibo frowned and said, "The other party is really cunning. If he's hiding in the homes of the common people, this is indeed a big project."
Miao Zhibo was telling the truth. There were so many common people. Even if they had issued a bounty for information, there was still no useful information after such a long time. This meant that the other party had done a very good job of hiding. They had done a very good job.
The opponent was definitely a very powerful character. After Lu Yichen heard this... He said with a sullen face, "If I were the opponent, I have two choices. The first is to hide among the people. The area is large and it's not suitable to investigate. However, there's also a drawback. There are too many people and too many people. It's easy to give yourself away."
"Then the second is to find a house. It's best if it's an empty house--"
When Xia Zijun heard this, he immediately said, "I'll send people to investigate--"
Xia Youyi also said, "We'll split into two groups--"
Outside, there was a sweeping search going on. The people in the house were getting more and more anxious. From the information they received from outside, it seemed that their place was already very unsafe.
After Kang Xiaoqiao saw it, she was a little happy. The more anxious those people were, the more it meant that Lu Yichen was making a move.
However, seeing that the sky was already dark, these people were obviously very anxious, but they still had no intention of retreating. Moreover, they were making arrangements. It seemed that someone was coming.
Kang Xiaoqiao saw everything, and her bright eyes flickered with some anxiety.
The other party's employer was coming, and this employer obviously couldn't solve the problem peacefully with Kang Xiaoqiao. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used such an extreme method.
Thinking of that person, Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but grab the quilt under her hand. The other party's request wasn't small. They had created such a big scene, so they naturally had a motive.
Moreover, it gave Kang Xiaoqiao a deep sense of crisis.
Waiting was always so long and terrifying. Kang Xiaoqiao hated this feeling.
It was already dark, and stars hung in the night sky. Kang Xiaoqiao sat on the iron bed, somewhat restless.
She needed time, and Lu Yichen also needed time.
However, no matter what, what had to happen still had to happen, and the person who had to appear still had to appear.
Just as Kang Xiaoqiao was nervously sitting on the metal bed, the sound of sparse footsteps and whispers came from outside.
Kang Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and looked over. After a while, all the sounds disappeared. Then, the sound of a person's footsteps gradually approached.
Kang Xiaoqiao listened carefully and guessed that it might be a man. From the sound of his voice, she could tell that he weighed about 134 pounds. The other party walked very slowly and steadily. He was not in a hurry. Obviously, he had a plan and victory was in his grasp.
Kang Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and her heart beat faster. She quietly stood up--
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside. Then, a tall man's figure appeared in front of her eyes. Then, a bright light flashed.
A flying shadow instantly attacked. That movement was fast, accurate, and ruthless, leaving no room for maneuver.
Obviously, the other party was prepared. He took half a step back and then stretched out his hands. The two of them quickly tangled together.
The people outside did not seem to hear the sounds of fighting in the room.
Kang Xiaoqiao, on the other hand, wouldn't sit still and wait for her death. Therefore, she took the initiative to strike first. Unfortunately, her opponent was obviously more skilled than her. In just a few moves, Kang Xiaoqiao's hands and feet were bound.
The thing that was flashing in her hand was the mirror that she carried with her. It was broken by her and used to attack people, but it was obviously in vain.
Seeing the mirror fall to the ground, and Kang Xiaoqiao's hands and legs were bound by the man and tightly bound to the wall, she was immediately shocked. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then her eyes widened. She opened her mouth and shouted with extreme anger and hatred. "It's you?"
"Why?"
The man looked at Kang Xiaoqiao like a little wild cat whose fur had exploded. His eyes were full of smiles. He exerted force with both hands and firmly bound Kang Xiaoqiao to the wall. Then, her entire body was pressed against the wall.
He exhaled slightly beside Kang Xiaoqiao's ear and said faintly, "It's me. Are you very surprised?"
