He couldn't care less about the pain from kneeling on the concrete floor as he untied Ning Wan's rope. "Young Aunt, don't be anxious."
He even comforted Ning Wan. Ning Wan sighed in her heart. A child's heart was the purest. If you treated him well, he would return it to you 10 fold. She did not dote on this child for the past two years for nothing.
Huo Yuan's hands were small and he was not strong. After spending a long time, his hands cramped up before he finally untied the rope on Ning Wan's hands.
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. Ning Wan quickly untied the ropes around their ankles and hugged Huo Yuan in her arms. She rubbed his chest, back, and limbs hard. "Are you cold? Huh? Are you cold?"
"Okay." Huo Yuan threw himself into Ning Wan's arms with a little grievance and hugged her neck.
Ning Wan looked around and realized that this was a fruit warehouse. The fruit box beside it was covered with long towel-like fabric to maintain the moisture of the fruits.
Ning Wan pulled a piece over and wrapped it around Huo Yuan. She smiled and said, "My Little Huo Yuan with mango flavor."
Then, she pulled one over and wrapped it around her. She patted Huo Yuan's shoulder and said, "Find some fruits to eat first if you're hungry. I'll see if there's a way out."
Her eyes adapted to the dark environment. This fruit warehouse was quite big. There were all kinds of fruits and they looked delicious.
Ning Wan thought for a moment. This place should not be far from the hotel. Such fruits should be supplied to the hotel they were in.
The person who had kidnapped them should know their itinerary very well. It was probably premeditated. This goal was clearly Little Huo Yuan.
The windows here were all very high. They must have been specially set up to prevent the sun from touching fruits. The only door was still locked from the outside. There was no way out.
Ning Wan looked around and wondered how much ransom they had extorted from Huo Ce. If she ran out with little Huo Yuan, would Huo Ce share half of the ransom with her as a reward?
Ning Wan liked this bold and reasonable idea.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Ning Wan hurriedly pulled Huo Yuan, who was chewing on a mango, over and held her breath as she listened to the sounds outside.
From the footsteps, she could tell that there were three people outside.
"Are you sure they're still unconscious?" This voice was a little familiar. Ning Wan felt that she must have heard this voice before.
"Don't worry, that knockout drug will knock you out for at least five hours. Sigh, that girl is really not bad! She has a figure and looks. If you want to do something, hurry up. We brothers will let you have a go at her first seeing that you've provided such a good source of goods. When you're done, it'll be our turn!" A rough voice said.
"Hey, that's not how you say it. That won't do! You're looking for money. You can't touch her!" The familiar voice said.
Ning Wan's heart skipped a beat. This voice belonged to Chi Nan, the b*stard who had been thrown into the sea to feed the turtles!
"Nothing is absolute. Such a beautiful girl can only be chanced upon by luck. We want money and sex too. Why? Can't we?" Another sharp voice said.
"Elder Brothers, that's not what we agreed upon. You're both good men who value the morals of the martial world. You can't go back on your word. Won't that become a bad reputation for you?" Chi Nan was a little anxious.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about that girl. Then how can you bear to kidnap her?" The rough voice teased.
"How about this, Elder Brothers? I'll increase the ransom from 10 million to 15 million. I still want the original 5 million. The excess will belong to you. How about that?" Chi Nan seemed to have made up his mind.
"That's fine, but how can you be sure that they're worth 15 million? What if they don't give it to you?" The other two muttered softly.
"Don't worry, they can definitely afford this amount, but I have a small request." Chi Nan's voice became relaxed.
"Alright, go ahead!"
"After we get the ransom, I'll rush in and save them. Then, you guys will beat me up until my face is swollen, but don't cause any substantial injuries. We'll escape in the end. How about that?" Chi Nan said.
"Oh? A hero saving a damsel in distress? Brother, you're quite good at playing! Taking a ransom of five million yuan and even pretended that you saved them. Impressive! Impressive!"
"No, no. I still have to rely on Elder Brothers to fulfill my wish!" Chi Nan flattered.
"Sure, I think you're a talent and worth establishing a long-term partnership with. I want to see how capable you are!"
Ning Wan was fuming.
