At the secret base where Chu Jie, Ying Yue, Cocoa, and Long Hu were kept, another loud shrill echoed throughout the place.
Xue Jingjing was thrown on the ground. She hit her elbows and knees as she collided on the ground that felt as if her bones almost broke.
The men around her were dumbfounded. The guards who kidnapped Ying Yue exclaimed. "Hey, she is the same woman who escaped!"
That immediately started murmurs.
"Wohoo! So we got a double treat after all!"
"This is freaking amazing!"
Everybody looked at Rodey in appreciation. "Thanks a bunch, Rodey. We didn't know you went to pick her up."
"You made things more interesting now."
Rodey smirked and didn't respond.
Xue Jingjing slowly turned around and jolted to see so many people laughing at her. Then her glance shifted at Rodey, and she burst into tears.
"Y-you! What is this place? Why did you bring me here? Let me go!"
