“This way, our eldest brother will have a chance.”
"Don't say such things in front of outsiders! Get on your way!" the leader shouted angrily.
The gossiping men fell silent.
Bai Yitang listened quietly to their conversation, carefully considering the content of their dialogue.
It seems he was captured by these people to exchange for their people.
So, the plum they were talking about ended up in Bai Qianmo's hands?
Upon considering this possibility, Bai Yitang felt a surge of elation.
But it was fleeting; once I calmed down, I felt like I had lost face.
The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plan falls through, and in the end, he still needs Bai Qianmo to save him.
Damn, does that mean he'll have to live under that girl's tyranny for the rest of his life?
The group walked along the winding path for more than an hour, and a two-story building appeared in the distance.
Two men in black stood at the door, their expressions fierce and their eyes fixed on them with extreme vigilance.
The leader took out a token, which the other party took and glanced at.
Only after confirming that everything was correct did they open the courtyard gate.
Bai Yitang was forcibly pushed into the courtyard, and he looked around in a panic.
The two-story building in front of us looks quite old; the doors and windows are just like they were decades ago.
The courtyard was made of red bricks and was fairly clean.
The group entered the house and were first greeted by a spacious living room.
Apart from a black leather sofa and a coffee table, there was nothing else there.
A figure then slowly walked down from the second floor.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man who looked extremely thin, with deep hollows on both sides of his face. His eerie and cold eyes were like two bottomless caves, staring coldly at them.
Bai Yitang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this person.
He was like a walking skeleton, his face more like a skull wrapped in human skin.
He walked towards them with faltering steps, extremely slowly.
"Uncle Jiu!" The eldest brother, who was in charge, stepped forward respectfully to greet him.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, his sinister gaze shifting from Bai Yitang's face back to the man in the lead.
"The master is resting and wants you to lock the person directly in the secret room."
"yes!"
"Where are you going to lock me up? Brother, I just said I'm worthless, Bai Qianmo is valuable, go and catch her!" Bai Yitang gradually panicked.
Before the Bai family suffered a series of misfortunes, he was just an ordinary high school student.
After these two kidnappings, he gradually realized that his life was always easily controlled by others.
A deep fear spread through my heart.
The skeleton man chuckled twice, and like his appearance, his smile also had an eerie feel to it.
"Kid, don't worry, Bai Qianmo will come to keep you company soon, hehehe..."
A sinister laugh echoed in the empty room, and Bai Yitang felt a chill run down his spine.
It was as if a cold snake had crawled into his clothes and was slowly moving behind him.
