Qiu Yan panicked; her heart was pounding wildly.
"Mother, Xiaoran is scared. Xiaoran doesn't want to be taken away by bad people..."
Gu Xiaoran's small hands remained tightly gripping Qiu Yan's collar, but due to the actions of the man in black, her wrists were forced to loosen.
"With your mother here, Xiao Ran, don't be afraid!"
"Mother?" The last remaining man in black looked surprised. He examined Qiu Yan's men's clothing closely. "You're not dead?"
Qiu Yan: "Even if you die, I won't die!"
They started vying for Gu Xiaoran, one at the beginning and one at the end.
Gu Xiaoran's small body was struggling to keep up with the actions of the man in black.
"It hurts...it hurts so much..."
Hearing Gu Xiaoran's soft sobs, Qiu Yan looked up and saw the tears welling up in Gu Xiaoran's eyes, and her heart clenched...
Instinctively, he let go.
The next instant, Gu Xiaoran had already fallen into the hands of the man in black.
"Hmph, what a boastful tone! Don't worry, I won't let you have your way!" Fearing the unidentified weapon in Qiu Yan's hand, the man in black, holding Gu Xiaoran hostage, began to retreat step by step.
Kidnapped by the men in black, Gu Xiaoran's mind was filled with images of being sold. He was afraid, terrified, and uneasy...
"Mother, Xiaoran misses Father..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in black covered his mouth. "Shut up!"
Qiu Yan followed closely, but stopped when the man in black said, "If you follow me any further, I'll strangle you!"
"Drop that unidentified weapon you're holding!"
Seeing that Qiu Yan continued her actions, the man in black tightened his grip on Gu Xiaoran's neck even more.
Gu Xiaoran coughed twice, her face turning deathly pale.
Qiu Yan was deeply worried.
She stared blankly at the man in black as he retreated, and thought of how much Gu Qian doted on Gu Xiaoran. Her face was filled with worry and self-reproach.
She was forced to throw away the musket in her hand.
The man in black took a few steps, then suddenly turned around. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, used his light-footed skill, and prepared to escape from this place.
Throughout the entire process, he held Gu Xiaoran's neck firmly with one hand, as if afraid that he would be attacked by Qiu Yan again.
"master!"
With a gasp, Zhu Juan arrived, bringing two people with her.
Before the man in black could disappear, He Lin and Zhan Yue suddenly appeared in the air and chased after him.
Dozens of secret guards also appeared at the same time.
Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Only her own people knew about her trip to Qingyun. How exactly did He Lin find his way here?
She chuckled to herself, saying that she had been avoiding this person lately, but she never expected to be so excited to see him and his servant.
She immediately picked up the musket from the ground and quickly chased after the man in black ahead.
The man in black, holding Gu Xiaoran tightly, never let go.
He saw He Lin and the guards around him, and immediately recognized him. He was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a deep panic.
It's over. He's probably in grave danger today.
His already fast pace quickened even further.
Compared to before, Gu Xiaoran's eyes no longer held fear; instead, they were filled with loneliness and sadness.
He missed his father, and of course, he didn't want to be separated from his mother either.
He was afraid that he would never see his father and mother again.
His eyes were red-rimmed, and tears and snot smeared onto the man in black.
Upon suddenly seeing He Lin, his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"So, you're all in cahoots!"
He Lin was stunned and had no time to explain.
He caught up with the man in black, blocking his path in mid-air. With a calm, cold face, he said to the man in black, "Put down the child, and I'll spare your life!"
The man in black, facing He Lin, repeated his previous statement: "If he follows me again, I'll strangle him!"
He Lin shouted sternly, "Release the child!"
In the air, with a whoosh, several bodyguards surrounded the man in black.
"Let him go?" The man in black tightened his grip, and Gu Xiaoran's face grew even paler.
He felt like he was suffocating.
In the face of danger, the man in black feigned composure and sneered, "If I let him go, how will I survive?"
“Of course…” Qiu Yan had barely finished speaking when, bang… the arm the man in black was holding against Gu Xiaoran was now riddled with a horrifying bloody hole. “There’s no way out!”
If we let him go, will he let Xiaoran go? The answer is, of course, no.
