Half an hour later, the third gangster bought them fresh bread.
Bei Yutang looked at it before giving it to Xiao Jiangli.
The third gangster stood aside and watched them eat with a cold eye. Bei Yutang and Xiao Jiangli ate as if they didn't see him. The third gangster was unhappy to see them eating happily, but because they still needed to exchange money, he could only endure it for the time being. After they got the money, they would have the final say on whether they lived or died.
After they finished eating the food, the third gangster tied their hands again.
After he left, the room became completely dark.
From the brief contact, it can be seen that these three gangsters are very cautious. Although they look reckless, they are actually very careful.
"If you're scared, you can come over here." Bei Yutang whispered.
Xiao Jiangli didn't move.
The small room was very quiet, and one could faintly hear the three gangsters playing cards and shouting rude words.
Late in the night, lightning and thunder roared outside, startling both of them awake. Bei Yutang saw through the dim light reflected through the small window that allowed air to flow in that Jiang Li looked unwell.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Bei Yutang's low voice sounded in the dark night.
Xiao Jiangli bit her lips lightly and said nothing.
"Are you afraid of thunder?" Bei Yutang asked.
Xiao Jiangli still ignored her.
"If you're afraid, come to me. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."
Bei Yutang thought he wouldn't come over, but unexpectedly, the little guy shrank his tiny body to her side amidst a deafening thunder.
If it were in the past, Bei Yutang would have definitely made fun of him after knowing this, but today he said nothing.
They slept very uneasily that night and were awakened by the sound of the door opening.
The person who brought them breakfast today was the second gangster.
Breakfast was still bread and sausage. They had no right to dislike it. Even though the bread tasted terrible, they still ate it obediently.
The bandits watched them eat until they finished, and then tied them up again.
"Big Brother, could you please not tie us up? Look, we're locked up here and can't escape, so it doesn't matter whether we're tied up or not. Our hands are cuffed behind our backs, and the linen rope is so tight around them, our hands are almost broken."
"Brother."
Bei Yutang looked at him pleadingly.
Little Jiangli was watching from the side in amazement. He had never seen Bei Yutang like this before.
Perhaps Bei Yutang's words had worked, or perhaps they felt that the two of them wouldn't cause any trouble, so they didn't tie their hands with ropes. This actually made Bei Yutang and Xiao Jiangli feel much more comfortable.
"If my estimation is correct, they should have taken action today."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Jiangli asked with a worried look on his face.
"Wait. Under normal circumstances, the ransom they demand wouldn't be raised so quickly. They need time to prepare it, at most a day, at most two or three days."
"However, I can see that they won't give your father much time to prepare. We must find a way to leave here before they make the deal. When they do, it will definitely require two people to work together, leaving only one person guarding us. That will be the best time for us to leave."
