Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchen was pondering how to get out of there.

The ventilation opening is too small; it would be difficult for them to get out by their own strength.

Upon hearing this, he looked at Sweetheart and said, "Yes, that should be the case."

After answering, Ye Yuchen continued to ponder.

Upon hearing this, Sweetheart was furious and exclaimed, "These people are so wicked! I'm going to tell my godfather to have their hideout wiped out!"

Thinking of this, Sweetheart realized that her godfather should already know about her kidnapping by now.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Hey, can we stay here? I want to see what they want from us. I'm scared to be alone. Can you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchen was taken aback.

He then looked at Sweetheart and said, "No, it's too dangerous. We're all too young; this is too risky."

I know you want to save those kids who were arrested like us, but this is something adults should do; we can't do it.

Sweetheart tugged at Ye Yuchen's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Big brother, will you come with me? I messaged my godfather while I was at the store, and you messaged your mommy and daddy too. We're just going ahead, they'll find us soon, it won't be dangerous."

Ye Yuchen frowned but remained silent.

Although he also wanted to save the children, his teacher had told him to act within his capabilities, otherwise he would only be causing trouble for others.

Using the dim light, Sweetie kept tugging at Ye Yuchen's sleeve and pleading, "Big brother, will you promise me? Please?"

Ye Yuchen remained steadfast in his principles.

Sweetheart had never been ignored like this before, and she immediately burst into tears, sitting down on the ground and crying sadly.

"Little brother, you're a bad person! Sweetheart doesn't like you anymore~ Waaaaah~ Sweetheart misses her godfather~ Godfather~ Where are you! Sweetheart is so pitiful~ So wronged~"

The cries were incessant.

When Ye Yuchen saw that Tianxin was crying, he was at a loss for what to do.

He's bad at comforting people, and he doesn't know how to coax girls.

He's usually surrounded by his mom and dad, who are adults and would never act so unreasonably.

Even if Mommy is being unreasonable, Daddy will still spoil her, but Mommy won't cry.

This time, it put him in a difficult position.

Ye Yuchen squatted down and said patiently, "Don't cry, okay? This matter is really..." too dangerous.

Before he could finish speaking, he was met with Sweetheart's cries, which were several times louder.

Ye Yuchen was a little worried that the two people who had kidnapped them would hear them, since there weren't many other sounds on this road, and Sweetie's crying would easily be heard.

Ye Yuchen looked at Tianxin and said, "Shh, it'll be troublesome if they find out we want to escape."

Sweetheart cried and said, "I don't care, unless you promise me."

This was the first time Ye Yuchen had witnessed such shameless behavior from a girl, and he felt somewhat helpless.

Thinking that if Sweetheart continued like this, they would not be able to escape once they were discovered by the people who were going to arrest them.

Since that's the case, we might as well go along with Sweetheart's wishes.

"Okay, I promise you."

Sweetheart immediately stopped crying, her face, which looked like a cat's after crying, suddenly turned to Ye Yuchen and asked, "Really?"

Although she couldn't see Ye Yuchen's face clearly, that didn't matter.

Ye Yuchen nodded helplessly and said, "Really."

Daddy was right. The stupidest thing in the world is trying to reason with a girl.

...

I don't know how much time passed, but the car finally stopped.

The driver spat out the car window before turning to the passenger and saying, "I'm going in. You go check on those two brats and make sure they don't die, or they'll be worthless."

"Okay, brother. You go ahead, I'll take care of things here."

The man driving nodded, then got out of the car and slowly walked towards the village not far away.

After watching his older brother go inside, the man in the passenger seat got out of the car and went to the door of the small truck.

Upon opening the car door, the first thing that caught his eye was a small child huddled in a corner inside, and he nodded in satisfaction.

He then leaned back against the carriage, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.

The pungent smell of smoke drifted into the carriage with the wind, and Sweetheart immediately coughed from the fumes.

Ye Yuchen was very worried and wanted to speak, but then he remembered the tape covering his mouth and had no choice but to remain silent.

Just before Ye Yuchen agreed to Sweetheart's request, the two of them reverted to their previous kidnapped appearance.

Although the two were standing close together, they were both blindfolded, gagged, and bound.

The commotion inside the carriage caught the attention of the man at the door. He turned and looked inside, thinking, "Rich people really do have a lot of quirks; they can't even stand the smell of smoke."

"Let me tell you, once you're here, you'd better behave yourselves and put away your spoiled princess/young master habits and tempers, or you'll be the ones suffering!"

The man didn't linger on Ye Yuchen and the other man; after speaking, he looked away and continued smoking.

In his view, wanting to leave after arriving here was a pipe dream. He was just worried that the two of them had too many problems and would end up failing and wasting all his efforts, which is why he spoke up.

Meanwhile, the man had arrived at a courtyard whose decor had nothing to do with the rural appearance outside.

The courtyard is tastefully decorated, with every plant and tree carefully designed; one could even call it magnificent.

The man followed behind the person leading the way, a look of envy in his eyes.

Soon, the person leading the way stopped at the living room door, then looked at the man and said, "Master Qi is inside, please go in."

Upon hearing this, the man politely replied, "Okay, okay, thank you, brother."

After saying that, he took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to the person who was leading the way.

The person leading the way looked around, then put the money away, a clear upward curve to the corners of his mouth.

"Hurry up and go in. Master Qi has been in a good mood lately. As long as your goods are fine, you're sure to make a fortune."

Having obtained the information he wanted, the man immediately smiled and said, "Thank you very much, brother. If I make a fortune, I will definitely not forget you."

The man then went inside.

Before they even saw anyone, they could hear a man's voice and a woman's sweet, melodious voice coming from inside.

Although the man appeared calm, he was actually incredibly envious of such a life.

The man then knocked on the door and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "Master Qi, it's me, Scorpion, here to deliver goods to you."

The room quickly quieted down, and soon a man's voice could be heard.

"Come in."

When the man walked in, he saw a terrifyingly powerful man standing between two scantily clad women on the sofa. He was the only man present besides himself.
