Ji Yao did not answer, but sobbed softly.

Mo Yanyu frowned, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry and heartache. "Don't worry, we'll be rescued soon!"

He knew that Yao Yao had never experienced anything so bloody and terrifying before, so it was normal for her to be frightened for a moment.

Therefore, his voice was much softer than usual…

Ji Yao remained silent, then forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "No, I'm not worried. As long as I can be by your side, I'm not worried about anything."

Although she desperately wanted to hysterically stop Mo Yanyu from saying anything next, to tell him... she didn't care about anything right now!

All she cared about was that he was doing well!

Because the torment she endured those years was etched into her very bones, so deeply that she could never forget it.

so…

As long as he's alright, everything else can wait...

Perhaps she had cried so hard just now, because her voice was now thick with a nasal tone, making it hard to ignore.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gaze instantly became intense and tender. She looked at her deeply, as if she wanted to etch every feature of her face into the depths of her mind, so that she would never have the slightest chance to forget her.

He responded softly, "Yes, I'll be by your side."

We will absolutely not let those people have the chance to hurt her!

"You don't need to be controlled because of me. If they really want to use me to restrain you and Momo, you can find a way to take Momo out and don't worry about me!"

Ji Yao bit her red lips, as if she had struggled for a long time before she uttered such righteous words.

But in reality, her fingernails had already dug into the flesh of her hand, and she was almost able to break off her beautiful fingernails, all without her realizing it…

His shoulders were also shaking uncontrollably, it was very obvious...

She was terrified by what happened today…

Mo Yanyu's brow twitched, and she coldly and decisively cut off any possibility of her continuing, "I said I would take you back, and I will definitely take you back with me. It is absolutely impossible for me to leave you behind!"

Ji Yao's heart stirred, and she wanted to say something, but the door was suddenly kicked open, and two people came in and roughly dragged them out.

Perhaps because of the previous incidents where the police searched his car, the man had a significant impact on him, leading him to choose to avoid main roads and instead take alleyways.

The alleyway was naturally not as smooth as the mainland, and it kept swaying. Mo Xiaoqing was in relatively good condition, but Li Qian seemed to be frightened. Her body kept bumping and trembling.

Seeing her like that, Mo Xiaoqing's eyes darkened imperceptibly, and she immediately rushed over and held her hands tightly.

She silently comforted Li Qian, "Don't be afraid?"

Li Qian nodded, took a deep breath, and seemed to exhale all the fear in her heart. She looked much calmer than before, when she was in a daze.

The man pressed the Bluetooth button on his earpiece and uttered a single word, "Speak."

It's unclear what the man heard, but his hands clenched tightly, and veins bulged on his calloused, unsightly hands.

Finally, he pressed his brow, his voice much heavier and lower than before, and said, "I understand."

Mo Xiaoqing could see his face, which was as dark as it could possibly be, in the rearview mirror.

It's fair to say that from the moment he first met her, this man had maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor; I'd never seen him with such a dramatic change in expression before!

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Miss Mo, is there something you haven't explained to us yet?"

Mo Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm.

She shrugged with an innocent and guileless expression. "What could possibly happen to me? Aren't I already completely under your control? Can you please stop blaming me for everything? I'm not that magical!"

The man was no longer like before, speaking as if he were a robot, merely repeating his words without a trace of emotion.

There seemed to be an unspeakable danger in his voice as he coldly said, "I hope it's really as Miss Mo herself says."

Mo Xiaoqing blinked her large, clear eyes with an innocent look, shutting him down with the words he had used to threaten her earlier.
