He Yusheng's idea, which he felt was a bit of a loss, fell through before he could put it into action, because Anle was kidnapped.
That same night, Anle was kidnapped by men in black after telling He Yusheng her idea.
With her system, dealing with a man in black was a piece of cake. However, Anle was curious whether the person who planned to kidnap her was, as she imagined, a member of the Tang family.
So after Anle lay down, even though she was thinking with her eyes closed, when she saw someone break in through the window, she pretended not to know. Although she was frightened, she didn't show it. The sound she wanted to scream was swallowed back.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered what Bai Naijiong had reminded her when she went to the Tang family with Yan Qingxue and the others.
Bai Naijiong told her to be careful, and I immediately felt that her words had a deeper meaning and were quite intriguing.
Now it's clear.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Anle remained calm and pretended to be fast asleep, appearing to be in a deep slumber.
Without saying a word, the person picked up Anle and left, moving very quickly, in the blink of an eye.
The man in black had already prepared to drug the child, but he hadn't expected the child to sleep so soundly. Well, what kind of wariness or vigilance could a child possibly have? Why bother drugging him?
Fourth Master is overthinking it.
So Anle was fully conscious the whole way when the men in black carried her into the Tang family home.
In the Tang family's basement, Anle was thrown to the ground by the man in black. He then pretended to wake up slowly, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked up. The face that came into view made Anle squint. Sure enough.
"Oh, little girl, we meet again."
Tang Muting looked down at An Le, who calmly and composedly got up from the ground, sat cross-legged in the hay, and stared at Tang Muting, the fourth young master of the Tang family, with a calm and expressionless face.
His gaze swept over Tang Muting's face and then swept over the surrounding environment. It was a dark, damp, and cramped basement. Apart from a pile of grass on the ground, there was nothing there. Bloodstains were faintly visible on the walls and the floor. The air was filled with a fishy stench that made one want to vomit.
In the dim environment, only a few candles flickered with a yellowish light, making Tang Muting's cold face appear exceptionally gloomy.
Despite the eerie atmosphere, Anle grinned at Tang Muting, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, as if she were joking.
"Oh, is this how the Tang family invites guests?"
Tang Muting was taken aback by Anle's unusual reaction, not expecting her to be so calm.
In his mind, the child should look around blankly when facing him, then be shocked, bewildered, terrified, or trembling and howling in fear.
Although surprised by her behavior, she still kept a cold face and questioned her.
"Enough with the nonsense, little girl. Where did you get that Pixiu? If you can tell me where it came from, I might spare your life."
Otherwise—"
Anle raised an eyebrow, her tone relaxed.
"Otherwise what? Kill me? Ha, don't treat people like fools. If I really revealed the source of this goods, I'd be dead even faster, wouldn't I?"
Tang Muting sneered.
"Not going to talk? Once you're in this place, do you think you can just stay silent because you don't want to? You're still just a child, so naive! Children should stay home and play with mud instead of going out to do business."
After Tang Muting finished speaking, he turned and left.
Anle tilted her head and watched Tang Muting leave, feeling somewhat surprised. He just left like that?
Just as she was muttering to herself, after Tang Muting left, a burly man came in and dragged her out. Anle obediently let him drag her out without the slightest resistance. She looked like a child who couldn't even kill a chicken. However, her calm and unusual expression made the old woman outside feel a little uneasy.
Anle then realized that Tang Muting hadn't left; he had simply moved from the inner room to the outside and was sitting in a chair, drinking tea with his eyes closed and mind at ease. The strong, fishy smell outside made Anle frown.
The light outside was noticeably brighter than the basement room inside, and Anle could clearly see many torture instruments around him.
Some of the torture instruments were covered with old and fresh bloodstains.
Even someone as calm as Anle couldn't help but swallow hard, a chill running down her spine as the thick, fishy stench in the air made her want to vomit.
I didn't want to stay here for even a second longer; it seemed that the thick, fishy stench was mixed with a heavy, rotting odor.
Clearly, this place was a special basement used for severe torture.
Countless people here have likely suffered at the hands of the Tang family; it's truly chilling.
What disgusting methods are these?
Just as Anle was secretly cursing, the fat woman grabbed her hair, dragged her by the hair, and tied her to the cross-shaped wooden stake.
The bloodstains on the wooden stake of the cross are still clearly visible.
Anle's face turned pale instantly, and the pulling pain on her scalp made her unable to resist taking action.
She has never been the type to keep quiet or suffer in silence.
She's just low-key most of the time, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of causing trouble.
"Aww... Someone's dead! Someone's dead!" The fat woman, who was dragging Anle along, was about to tie the person to the cross when suddenly a burst of lightning crackled and sparks struck her hand. Startled and frightened, the fat woman felt a tingling pain travel from her hand to her arm and then to her limbs.
The person in pain immediately released the euthanasia and screamed wildly.
This sudden turn of events left both the burly man and Tang Muting somewhat dumbfounded. Tang Muting, who was the first to react, put down his teacup.
Staring at this somewhat eerie and sinister scene, the vivid imagery seemed to replay in his mind, and his instinctive intuition made him wary.
I finally realized that this little girl, who never cried, fussed, or made a sound, was a bit strange.
"You... what did you do? Did you do that just now?"
An Lechong asked Tang Muting, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, "Guess?" he asked, pointing to the wooden cross post.
"How many such despicable things has your Tang family done? How many people have suffered at your hands? No wonder your Tang family has only one son per generation and so few descendants. Ha, you've done too many immoral things and have accumulated too much bad karma, haven't you?"
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, "The sins are grave."
"Grab, grab, grab...grab her, grab her now, what are you standing there for?" Tang Muting stared at An Le, who was smiling strangely, and shouted at the big man with a chill down his spine.
