Unfortunately, the kidnappers didn't tie her up as loosely as the heroines in movies and TV shows.
Wen Yan is now starting to suspect that the ropes the kidnappers used to tie her up were stolen, the kind that were given away for free.
They wrapped her up in circles until she looked like a mummy.
She tried to move!
Good heavens, despite all her efforts, she only managed to rub her arm a little.
However, as soon as she moved, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"You're awake?"
Upon suddenly hearing a male voice, Wen Yan's first reaction was to be scared half to death, but she quickly became happy.
"You, you, you! Say one more word to me!"
The other party was always responsive: "...I asked you if you were awake? But now I have the answer, yes, you are awake, and very alert."
"Ah!!! Shen Jingchuan!!!" Wen Yan was overjoyed after confirming that the voice was the one she was thinking of.
However, she didn't dare to raise her voice too much, after all, she and Shen Jingchuan were now prisoners of someone else.
"That's great!" Wen Yan said in a low voice, "You're actually here too, sob sob, this is really great."
Shen Jingchuan: "…………I can understand how you feel right now, but seeing you here doesn't feel good at all."
“I understand how you feel. When you realized you were kidnapped, you were probably thinking that once you escaped, you would definitely kill all these people! And when you saw me, your first reaction was probably, ‘Holy crap, we’ve all been wiped out,’ right?”
What else could Shen Jingchuan say?
"Yeah, as expected of you, you understand me really well. I was really annoyed at first, but after seeing you, I suddenly don't hate those people as much anymore. It's a good thing they brought me along too. If they had only brought you, you would have been scared to death."
"I wouldn't say I was scared to death, but seeing you definitely made me less afraid. And it also made me realize something."
"What's going on? How can being kidnapped give you such a profound insight?"
"Well, if this kind of plot were made into a TV series, there would definitely be a lot of viewers who would criticize the kidnapped person for being too weak and easily outmaneuvered by the villain! But now that I know you were also outmaneuvered, I feel like I'm not so weak after all, we're all the same."
"...Have you been overwhelmed by this generation of viewers? In today's society, as individuals, it's already quite an achievement if we can control ourselves. If others secretly plot against us, there's nothing we can do. No one can completely escape someone else's meticulous scheming. One day during my first year abroad, I was strolling down the street when I witnessed the then-president being assassinated in broad daylight. He was the president, after all; he had so much security when he traveled. Can you say that his team wasn't prepared? Despite all the precautions, someone with malicious intent still managed to carry it out."
"That makes sense! You have a sharp tongue. When we get out, I'll award you a Golden Mouth Award."
"…Get lost, the Golden Mouth Award? You're making me laugh. Do you know this is a very serious occasion?"
"Sigh!" Wen Yan sighed. "Of course I know. But with you here, I can find joy even in hardship. By the way, you arrived before me, so tell me about this place."
Shen Jingchuan was truly at a loss with Wen Yan: "I feel like you're not being kidnapped, but rather like you're here for a visit."
But this is for the best; it's better than worrying, despairing, being sad, or fearful. That's just how this girl is—a natural optimist!
"Sigh! Whether you've been kidnapped or are just visiting, we should at least get some basic information first. Tell us about it."
"Eight words: abandoned factory, two mentally challenged individuals."
Wen Yan: "...Two idiots? You're not talking about the two of us, are you?"
"Of course not, I was talking about the two people who tied us up."
"??? Are you insulting me and yourself? If two idiots can arrest us, then aren't we even less than idiots?"
"I don't know who arrested me, but I'm talking about the two people guarding us now. They're both somewhat mentally challenged."
"Really? If you're really mentally challenged, why haven't you escaped yet? Don't tell me you're waiting for me here."
"Do you think I don't want to escape? But didn't you just try to move? They've tied us up like this, do you think we can escape?"
"So what do we do now? It feels like my mind is tied up, I can't move at all. Do you have a plan? Tell me about it, I'll give you some advice."
Shen Jingchuan narrowed his eyes: "The plan is to wait for them to come, and then try to bribe them with money. I've never met those two idiots before, so I definitely haven't made enemies with them. And I'm sure you don't know them either, and you definitely have no grudge against them. The reason they're doing this now is definitely for money! So money is our breakthrough point."
Wen Yan: "You've said so many 'certainties,' why do I have a feeling you're going to be proven wrong?"
Shen Jingchuan: "Pah, please take back what you just said."
"Okay!" Wen Yan was still cooperative, spitting out three "pui" sounds in a row. "I take it back. Now all we can do is wait."
"That's right."
"In this long and uncertain wait, let's chat for a bit. Tell me how you got infected."
"You go first."
Wen Yan: [You cunning fellow, whoever speaks first will embarrass themselves first. I'm not going to speak first.]
