Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Ruo Ruo and Xia Peizhi went to a hot pot restaurant together. Zhang Qin didn't come. She said she was tired today and wanted to rest after cooking a few bites at home.
In reality, she wasn't tired at all; she wanted to give Xiao Xia some time alone. Seeing their harmonious relationship, she could stop Xiao Xia from confessing, but she had to give young people some space.
Moreover, Zhang Qin had observed Xiaoxia's impeccable performance over the past two years. Both his attitude towards Ruoruo and his own character had earned his approval. While Zhang Qin recognized Xiaoxia's approval, she wouldn't act on her own initiative and rely on Ruoruo's trust to bring them together. Her reluctance to try to prevent their relationship was the highest level of recognition and support she could offer anyone close to Ruoruo.
In her heart, Ruoruo was the best: kind, gentle, innocent, simple... Oh, and that most striking and superficial quality: beauty. Zhang Qin wished she could use every beautiful word in the world to describe Ruoruo. Honestly, she felt like no one was worthy of her.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Qin came out of the kitchen, feeling a little confused. Logically speaking, Ruoruo had just left, so she shouldn't be back so soon?
She wiped her hands as she walked to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw a delivery man.
He knocked on the door urgently.
Zhang Qin originally wanted to tell him through the door whether he had delivered to the wrong address, but she saw the delivery man put the food at the door and turned to leave to deliver to the next house.
Oh, that won't do. What if the person who ordered the takeout can't get their meal? That would be another hassle! She quickly opened the door and called out to the man, "Young man, did you deliver to the wrong address? I didn't order takeout..."
The next second, she lost consciousness.
.
Ruo Ruo came back a little late because she and Xia Peizhi had gone doll hunting for a while and were stuck in traffic on the way back. By the time she got home, it was already dark. Xia Peizhi walked her to the door and watched her turn on the light and go into the house, but he didn't go in himself.
After all, entering the house so late at night is really easy to make people think about it... ahem...
He stood at the door for only a moment before entering the house opposite.
When Ruoruo came in, she found that the lights in the room were not on. She originally thought that Aunt Qin was making an excuse, but she didn't expect that she was really tired today?
She was just thinking about it when she suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was too late. A heavy force hit her and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found herself tied up and placed on a soft bed.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this treatment was good or bad. Nothing was stuffed in her mouth, and she seemed to still be wearing the mask she hadn't taken off when she first entered.
"Is anyone there?"
As soon as she spoke, the door outside was pushed open and someone came in who she didn't expect. No, it didn't seem so surprising.
It’s Bai Minmin.
"Where am I? What are you doing?" She thought Bai Minmin no longer hated her, but it turned out that she was hiding it so deeply?
But she wasn't too worried when she thought of the necklace around her neck. That necklace was a locator developed by Xia Peizhi's company in collaboration with the government. To be more precise, it was actually Ma Songjin's creation.
After hearing about it, she took the initiative to ask for one. Originally, it was to protect the male protagonist who was like a psychopath, worried that he would one day remember that the female protagonist had a sister and affect her in the midst of abusive love. But in the end, the female protagonist would need it...
"Sister, don't be so angry. I won't harm you. I just want to take you to live somewhere else..." Bai Minmin looked innocent.
As she spoke, she carefully took off the mask on Ruo Ruo's face.
She didn't like the way Ruoruo was looking at her now, but it didn't matter. She believed that as long as no one else disturbed them, their relationship as sisters would soon get better.
When they go abroad, Ruo Ruo will naturally only have her to rely on, and she will naturally feel her sincerity. She will protect her dear sister.
"...Where is Aunt Qin? What did you do to her?" Ruoruo asked her.
Bai Minmin's face fell in disgust, but she still managed to say, "She's fine. She'll probably wake up soon! She's not qualified to leave with us. She's just a caregiver. You don't have to worry about her so much, sister."
Ruo Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes, and softened her tone, "Then loosen the ropes for me. They're hurting my wrists and ankles."
Bai Minmin didn't hesitate, but warned her, "There are vicious people out there. Don't run around after I help you get rid of them, or I won't be able to save you."
Ruoruo nodded in agreement, her messy hair covering her cheeks, making her look even more pitiful and weak.
Bai Minmin liked her look very much and rubbed her red wrist.
Suddenly there was a noise outside and the door was pushed open. Bai Minmin quickly helped Ruoruo put the mask back on, and Ruoruo cooperated by lowering her head.
"Didn't you say there wouldn't be any problems? But now there are three ships following behind us! Damn it! Are you trying to trick me? I'm telling you, if something really goes wrong, I'll drag you down with me first." I should have known not to take this order! Until now, he still couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Bai Minmin was also surprised, "Three ships? Could it be just a coincidence?" You know, this sea area is dangerous. Even if the police are investigating, they would not think of here first!
Moreover, it is impossible for the police to dispatch three ships. It is not easy to find a ship that can reach this sea area, nor is it easy to dispatch one.
When ordinary boats enter this sea area, it is hard to tell whether they are going out to sea or feeding the fish.
Besides, it was still dark, so even if they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to leave so quickly. According to Bai Minmin's estimation, by the time someone discovered Ruoruo was missing, they would have already escaped without a trace.
"How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Anyway, if it's really you who caused this trouble, you'll have to pay double our commission when we get to Country X!" the man who broke in said viciously. "Or else, hey, the girl is pretty, why don't you stay with us for a few nights."
Bai Minmin lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in them, and calmly shielded herself from Ruo Ruo behind her, feigning fear and panic. "Okay, I get it. If this is really the trouble I caused, I'll pay you when we get to shore. But if it's not me, please don't ask for an exorbitant price."
"Of course, you must have inquired about us before you came to us. We, the Wolf Iron Mercenaries, have always been the most reputable in the world."
Bai Minmin didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just followed him out to observe the three ships he mentioned.
"I couldn't have attracted this! Each of these three ships is more valuable than the last. How could it be possible..." No, she thought of Xia Peizhi beside Ruo Ruo. But she quickly rejected the idea.
No matter how powerful Xia Peizhi is, it is impossible for him to mobilize three such ships in such a short time.
"But this is obviously coming towards us. We have never encountered anything like this before!"
The men were also very upset and worried. Who would want to confront others at sea unless it was absolutely necessary? And it was obvious that the three ships following behind were much better than theirs. If they encountered strong winds and waves, they would be the first to suffer.
He had been a mercenary for some time, and his intuition told him that the three ships following behind him were definitely not a coincidence. But he couldn't be sure whether it was because of the two women on the ship or because of them.
"Damn it! Bad luck!"
If I had known this, I would have left earlier. I was too late to try to make some extra money, and ended up getting into trouble.
"I really don't understand why you didn't agree to tie that woman up earlier. Why did you have to pick the time yourself and wait for so long?"
He not only hired someone to cause a traffic jam for the other party, but also did not allow them to touch the woman any more. He could have easily kidnapped someone, but he had to calculate the time exactly, and it had to be dark at night, and it could not be when the cargo was sleeping at night. He put the condition of not allowing his people to even look at the cargo at the very beginning.
Although what they do is risky, they are never short of women! She acted as if she was afraid they would regret it. Now, because of her hesitation, she encountered such a difficult situation.
The ships behind were following very quickly. Except for the last one which was still some distance away, the other two were about to catch up with them.
"What should we do now? Can we change our route and see if the boat behind us is following us?" Bai Minmin was a little anxious. No matter who was in the boat behind or what they were coming for, it was not a good thing for her.
The man also frowned. "Damn it, are you crazy or am I? This sea area is full of reefs. We spent a lot of money to get this fixed route from someone abroad. Not taking this route is like seeking death! Otherwise, why do you think there is no one in this sea area?"
If it weren't for the fact that this woman was his employer, he would have thrown her into the sea to feed the fish.
"Brother, the ship behind us is signaling us to hand over the people we brought aboard."
"Boss, the other ship seems to have said the same thing, and it has changed its route and has not run aground yet."
It was obvious that the boat behind was well prepared. Not only was it faster than them, it also seemed to know other safe routes.
"Damn it, who the hell did you mess with?" the man was furious. If he handed the man over, his Iron Wolf's reputation would be half ruined, but if he didn't, a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Boss, the ship behind us seems to say that as long as we hand over the people, it will pay double the cost of hiring us." The person who was responsible for watching the flag signals with a telescope was excited.
Who knows, this might be a huge fortune! I originally thought that this female employer was just a sucker, but I didn’t expect there was an even bigger one.
The leading man also coughed lightly and looked at Bai Minmin without saying a word.
"You said you are trustworthy!" Bai Minmin's face looked extremely ugly.
The man was also helpless, "But if they keep chasing like this, sooner or later they will bump into us, or be surrounded."
"Boss, that's not right. These two ships don't seem to be in the same group! The ship we're on says if we hand over the people, he'll pay five times the price, and there's cash on board. If we don't, we'll die at sea. ... Boss, the people on that ship seem to have wooden warehouses too, and they seem to have more people than we do..."
"Aren't they in the same group?!" This is truly a huge sin!
And the most important thing is that there is a third ship following far behind, which makes it hard for them not to think that the third ship may be another group of people.
No, have their whereabouts been exposed so thoroughly? And the people of Country Z are so rich? Each person has a luxury ship?
