Jiang Hua kept distracting herself with all sorts of things, using the child to constantly remind herself of her perseverance.

Suddenly the door opened, and Jiang Hua quickly shut her mouth. She stopped talking, afraid that others would find out that she was awake, so she immediately pretended to be asleep.

"What do we do if the boss hasn't woken up yet?" Jiang Hua clearly heard the skinny man call another person "boss." Jiang Hua knew herself well; if she woke up now, who knew what they would do.

The man called "boss" walked over to Jiang Hua and circled around her. "Never mind, it's fine. Let him sleep first. He can't run away anyway. It's better if he's asleep, then we won't have to worry about him running away."

But at this moment, the slightly thinner man immediately spoke up, "Boss, don't worry, he definitely won't get away. I tied him up myself, and I tied him up really tightly!"

The other kidnapper was still very uneasy. Although Jiang Hua was tied up very securely, he did not praise the other kidnapper. "Isn't this double protection? You tied her up very securely. As long as she wakes up, she will definitely find a way to escape."

"So there's nothing we can do. She's sleeping more peacefully and won't get into trouble, so we don't have to worry about her. Let's just wait for the group leader to speak. As long as this deal goes through, we can make a fortune, and then we can do whatever we want." The gruff kidnapper seemed to have already envisioned their success, and he almost laughed as he spoke.

Jiang Hua was terrified, but she kept her eyes tightly shut and dared not move, afraid of being discovered. However, after a short while, they wanted to leave; it seemed they enjoyed drinking.

"Brother, why don't we go out and buy some food and drinks while we wait for her? Otherwise, it'll be too boring. Are we just going to sit here drinking air?" This time, it was the burly man who made the suggestion first. Jiang Hua closed her eyes, her eyelids trembling slightly out of fear, but they didn't notice.

The man who initially claimed to have tied up Jiang Hua also seemed a bit worried. He glanced at Jiang Hua and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if she wakes up if we go out?"

"He's been tied up here since he woke up. I didn't say we should both go out. How about this, you stay here and watch me go out to buy some alcohol. I'll be right back, it'll only take ten minutes." This burly man made such a boast just to get some alcohol.

The thinner man still had some reservations, and then he contradicted the burly man, saying, "How could that be? This is the middle of nowhere. How could you have prepared food and drinks in just ten minutes? I always carry a deck of cards with me. Let's just play cards here and not do anything else."

In the end, the two reached an agreement: they would stay here and watch over Jiang Hua without going out. Jiang Hua pretended to be asleep and didn't dare to wake up. She quietly told herself that she was just resting her eyes.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoxiao was also carrying out her plan. After sending Gu Yiming back to his room, she threw him onto the bed.

Xu Xiaoxiao was still thinking of an excuse to stay, but seeing that Gu Yiming was about to vomit, she quickly found the housekeeper and said, "Housekeeper Jin, if you can't take care of Gu Yiming, I'll stay and take care of him. I really can't trust anyone to take care of Gu Yiming in this condition. You can't possibly get up in the middle of the night to take care of him."

The butler didn't reply to Xu Xiaoxiao immediately. After thinking for a moment, he seemed a little conflicted. There was really no one else around. He couldn't say that he would get up again in the middle of the night to take care of Gu Yiming, but he was also worried about leaving Xu Xiaoxiao behind.

"How about we leave it like this for now? Gu Yiming doesn't seem to be in any trouble. You can go back now. I'll call you if anything happens." The butler knew he couldn't make the decision himself. If Gu Yiming woke up and got angry, he'd be in deep trouble.

Xu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't easily agree to the housekeeper's decision. Her goal was to stay, so she used her silver tongue to strongly insist to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, don't worry, this house is very big, I won't wander around. You can arrange for me to stay in the guest room. If Gu Yiming has any problems, I'll go up and take care of him immediately, and that won't delay things."

The housekeeper seemed hesitant after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's story, as if he was considering whether to keep him. Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Please don't hesitate any longer. We can't afford to be careless about the master's safety. There's nothing I can do in the guest room, so I'll definitely behave myself. Please let me stay here. It's a bit risky to serve someone who's drunk tonight." Last night, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the housekeeper earnestly once again, and after some hesitation, the housekeeper finally agreed.

"Just behave yourself for now and don't run around. You can stay in the guest room for now. If there are any problems, I'll call you immediately, and then you can go upstairs to take care of the master." The butler reluctantly agreed because he knew that if Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't kept here, he wouldn't be able to take responsibility if something happened later. So, to be on the safe side, he agreed.

Xu Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude and then obediently followed the butler to the guest room. The butler handed her a key and said, "You can stay here for the night. If the master has nothing to do tomorrow, you should leave in advance and don't let him find out. After all, it's something I can decide on this book. Letting you stay is already an exception."

"Okay, okay, butler, don't worry. I was really worried about you, sir. What really happened? Something that you and I can't handle, right?" Xu Xiaoxiao tried to explain further that not staying was the wrong choice. The butler had heard enough of her explanation and left.

At first, Xu Xiaoxiao naturally didn't dare to move around or make any noise. She first looked around and saw that although it was just a guest room, it was extremely luxurious.

Looking at everything here, Xu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. "It seems that all of this is quite easy. I was really overthinking it."

After waiting for several more hours, Xu Xiaoxiao tentatively called out, "Butler, butler, are you there? I need to talk to you." Only silence responded to Xu Xiaoxiao; no one answered. This time, Xu Xiaoxiao was certain that the butler was asleep.

"Finally, they're all asleep. If they hadn't fallen asleep soon, I would have been too." Xu Xiaoxiao quietly opened the door, went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water, and then kept reassuring herself as she walked upstairs step by step.

Xu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, holding the water in her hand. Just as she was about to push the door open, she encountered the nanny.
