Chapter 136 Dilemma
Princess Jing walked out with the little princess and met Qi Huan head-on.
"Mother, what happened at home? I just saw my eldest brother riding over there like the wind."
Princess Jing couldn't help but glance at her daughter.
Qi Qiong gave his brother a sharp look and hurriedly explained, "I urged Big Brother to go and rescue Ah Hao and the others quickly."
"What? Something happened to Ah Hao—" Facing the shocked gazes of his mother and sister, Qi Huan slapped his lips, "I was so shocked that I just told my little sister."
Qi Qiong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Princess Jing knew her youngest son's erratic nature, so she wasn't surprised by this explanation. She instructed, "Then arrange for someone at home to help find someone quickly."
The longer these two beautiful girls stay in the hands of the bad guys, the more dangerous they will be.
"Son, I'll go now."
When Princess Jing brought Qi Qiong to the general's mansion, the mansion was in chaos.
The guards who were going to look for someone had gathered and were about to set off, but only the old lady was standing by.
When Princess Jing asked, she found out that Lin had ridden away on horseback the moment she heard that her daughter was in trouble.
Hearing this, Princess Jing felt something was amiss, but couldn't place it for a moment. She suppressed the strange feeling and comforted the old lady, "Don't worry, the two children are blessed by fate. They will be fine. Shuo'er and Huan'er have also brought people over—"
Princess Jing paused and finally reacted: Shuo'er also left immediately, how could she behave like her own mother?
Despite my daughter's explanation, I still felt something was strange.
After hearing Princess Jing's words of comfort, the old lady forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Princess."
"Neighbors, this is what should happen."
Seeing the team from the General's Mansion about to set off, Qi Qiong couldn't help but say, "Mother, I want to go with you."
Princess Jing was stunned.
The old lady spoke first: "I know what the princess means, but it's too chaotic over there. It's better to wait for news at home."
"I'll be fine with my brother and the others. Miss Chen and the others are all there. I can't stay at home alone. Mother—"
"Then go ahead, but don't wander around alone." Although Princess Jing didn't want her daughter to take risks, she had to respect her daughter's words.
Children of this age all want to save face and be loyal, which is not a bad thing.
With the addition of people from Prince Jing's Mansion and the General's Mansion, the search team became larger and larger. However, there were endless green mountains not far away. If someone hid in them, it would be like a bird flying into the mountains. It was very difficult to find them.
Qi Shuo stopped at a place, squatted down and touched the grass.
"Brother, what did you find?" Qi Huan came over and asked.
Qi Shuo stood up, looked towards the valley, and whispered, "The criminals probably didn't just kidnap any girl. Their target is Miss Lin!"
If so, what is their purpose?
How will they treat Ah Hao who took the initiative to chase after them and fell into their hands?
This question made his heart ache.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Into the mountains. With so many people looking for us, taking two young women dressed so elegantly anywhere would attract too much attention. The only way to be safe is to hide in the mountains."
"What on earth do they want to do? Even if they want a ransom, they should have left a message." Qi Huan wondered.
At this time, Lin Hao was also confused.
She and her sister were gagged and their hands and feet were tied, making them unable to speak or move.
To make matters worse, my sister passed out.
This was a cave, and the two masked men were sitting at the entrance some distance away from them, with their backs to her.
Lin Hao was puzzled about the other party's identity and purpose.
As for rape, when she went after her sister, the other party just wanted to get rid of her. It was obvious that his only target was her sister, and he had not shown any obscene intentions until now.
If it was a robbery, shouldn't these two people have spread the word that they were asking for a ransom?
After much thought, she could only guess that it was related to the King of Wei. Her sister was the future princess, and these two people kidnapped her sister, most likely targeting the King of Wei.
Lin Hao tried to figure out the other party's motives, trying to gauge their situation. Was he simply holding them hostage in exchange for something, or was he going to kill them to silence them?
Even if they didn't hurt anyone, if they were released after a while, their reputation would be ruined, and people would definitely speculate about what happened to them when they fell into the hands of the wrong people.
She could not care, but what about her sister who is the future princess?
Lin Hao didn't know at this time that the other party's real purpose was to ruin Lin Chan's reputation.
The two men who had started the fight were also confused. One of them looked back and saw that the two girls had their eyes closed. He then grumbled to his companion, "Why are the instructions from above so strange? They only allow us to take my sister away and not to hurt her. We have to wait until a night before releasing her."
What's the point?
"Who cares what the higher-ups think? We just need to follow orders. I'm worried about being blamed for arresting one more person."
Thinking of Lin Hao, both of them felt a headache.
This girl was so persistent and her legs were so nimble that they couldn't get rid of her after trying for a long time, so they had no choice but to take her with them.
"They'll be released anyway, so they probably won't blame me. And don't tell me, these sisters look really good together."
"Don't try to make a mess. This is not something we can mess with."
"They are unconscious, and I can't find anything if I touch them—"
The sudden humming sound interrupted their conversation.
They both turned their heads and looked at the panicked and struggling girl.
The girl's mouth was blocked and her hands were tied behind her back. She said she was struggling, but in fact she could only make broken whimpers from her throat, looking pitiful and helpless.
One of them walked over.
The girl's feet were also tied together. She looked up at him in horror and tried her best to move back.
The man couldn't help but laugh: "You were chasing me all the time, but now you're scared?"
He squatted down and confirmed again: "She is the elder sister, and you are the younger sister?"
Lin Hao hesitated and nodded.
She had shouted "Big Sister" when she was chasing them, and the two men must have heard it. Now they specifically asked her, which shows that they care about the hijacked target, and it also means that her guess should be correct.
Another man came over. He was more burly than the first one and half a head taller than him. “Don’t say too much to her.”
"Should we give them some water?" the shorter man lowered his voice. "These delicate ladies wouldn't be able to stand going without food or water for a long time."
Seeing his companion nod, he held up the kettle and warned Lin Hao, "I'm going to take the cloth out of your mouth now. Don't cry out loudly. If you don't know what's good for you, you'll suffer. Do you understand?"
Lin Hao nodded repeatedly.
The man reached out and took off the cloth. Lin Hao's mouth was free and he breathed deeply.
Seeing that Lin Hao didn't cry, the man was quite satisfied and brought the kettle over to her: "Drink."
"Can you untie my hands?" Lin Hao asked tentatively.
Even though she looked pale and exhausted, the man refused outright: "No!"
