Scorpion, seemingly oblivious to the woman beside Master Qi, walked up to him and said, "Master Qi."
The man addressed as Master Qi gave a soft "hmm," and with his arms around both of them, he turned his gaze to Scorpion and said, "I heard you brought some good stuff?"
Scorpion quickly replied, "Yes, Master Qi. I have two top-quality items, absolutely top-notch."
Master Qi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "It was stolen."
The statement was not a question, but a statement.
Scorpion, feeling somewhat embarrassed at being seen through, smiled awkwardly and explained, "Yes. But don't worry, Master Qi, they're not locals and won't cause any trouble. They're two young masters and ladies from wealthy families."
Scorpion wasn't surprised that Master Qi guessed the source of the goods.
After all, that's always been his reputation in Crowe.
Everyone is already used to it.
Upon hearing this, Master Qi raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? A man and a woman?"
Scorpion: "Hmm, a boy and a girl, about the same age. They should be only three or four years old."
After a moment's thought, Master Qi said, "Bring him in and let him have a look."
Scorpion readily agreed and then went out to bring the person in.
By this time, Master Qi had already dismissed the women. Looking at the two people in front of him, he said, "Let go, let me see."
Scorpion nodded and, along with another accomplice, removed the restraints from Ye Yuchen and his companion's hands.
As soon as they took off their blindfolds, Ye Yuchen and Tianxin simultaneously covered their eyes and closed them.
After a while, the two gradually let go of each other's hands once they had adjusted.
Ye Yuchen looked at Tianxin with some concern, but was relieved to see that she was alright.
Master Qi looked at Ye Yuchen and the other man with great satisfaction, then turned to Scorpion and said, "Very good. You two did a good job this time. You'll be rewarded."
Upon hearing this, the scorpion and the centipede exchanged a glance.
His eyes were practically glowing with anticipation at the prospect of real money, and he excitedly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master Qi."
Scorpion said impatiently, "Master Qi, I've already given you that guy, so shouldn't we...?"
Upon hearing this, Master Qi nodded and said, "Yes, you and Ah Sheng go and get it. Just tell them it was my decision."
The scorpion and the centipede thanked him in unison, "Thank you, Master Qi."
He then left the living room.
Only Master Qi and Ye Yuchen remained in the living room.
Sweetheart, "Are you the mastermind behind our kidnapping?"
Master Qi looked at the two men staring directly at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
You should know that none of the people he had previously recruited hadn't cried and begged for their parents in front of him.
These two are the only ones, and they are much smaller than the usual ones, but judging from their mental capacity, they are probably not even as big as seven or eight-year-olds.
For a moment, Master Qi was curious about what kind of family they came from to raise such children.
Sweetheart innocently replied, "Why should I be afraid of you? My godfather said that only tigers and leopards in the mountains are fierce, and that I should hide when I encounter them. Could it be that you are a tiger or leopard in disguise?"
Hearing Sweetheart's words, he would have burst out laughing if he hadn't been in the wrong place.
Who told her that tigers and leopards were the most terrifying creatures?
Upon hearing this, Master Qi was taken aback at first, then chuckled to himself, "Haha, I'm not a tiger, nor a leopard, but I'm more terrifying than them. Are you scared?"
Hearing Qi Ye's laughter, Sweetheart couldn't help but hide behind Ye Yuchen in fear.
Ye Yuchen immediately shielded the girl behind him, calmly looking at Master Qi in front of him and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing arresting us?"
Only then did Master Qi turn his gaze to Ye Yuchen. He did not rush to answer, but instead stared at Ye Yuchen for a long time.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "What's your name? Who are your parents?"
For some reason, he felt that he had seen the face in front of him somewhere before.
But he couldn't remember exactly where it was.
Ye Yuchen had no idea what Master Qi was thinking. Hearing his words, he said coldly, "Why should I tell you who I am?"
His parents had warned him that if he were in danger, he must not easily reveal his identity.
Because of his status as a father and mother, many people would take their anger out on him because of adult matters and even try to harm him. Hiding his identity is to better protect him.
Besides, the person in front of me doesn't look like a good person at all.
Master Qi paused upon hearing this, not expecting the little baby in front of him to speak like that. He then laughed and said, "Fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't."
After thinking about it, Master Qi realized that he was probably overthinking things.
After all, he only felt that the person in front of him was familiar, but he didn't have a very specific impression of him, which was probably because he was overthinking it.
Besides, in the city of Crowe, he was the ruler of darkness, and even if the little baby's relatives were his enemies, he had nothing to fear.
He didn't take it to heart.
Ye Yuchen looked at Master Qi in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance, "What do you want to do with us?"
Master Qi laughed and said, "I'll send you off to live a good life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchen continued to stare intently at Master Qi.
Clearly, he didn't believe the man in front of him had kidnapped him to send him to a better life.
He must have his own purpose in doing this.
As for his purpose, he still did not know.
Sweetheart, hiding behind Ye Yuchen, clearly didn't believe it either; she didn't have Ye Yuchen's composure and steadiness.
Upon hearing this, he pulled his head out from behind Ye Yuchen and looked at Master Qi, saying, "You're lying! You must have ulterior motives for arresting us! You've arrested so many children before, you're a big bad guy!"
Master Qi could naturally see that the two little babies didn't believe him, but he wasn't angry when Sweetheart exposed his words.
He then said, “You are very smart, but you are too young. This kind of smartness is not good for you.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchen and Tianxin exchanged a glance.
Before the two could understand each other's meaning, Master Qi called out, "Get ready, send them away tonight."
"Yes, Master Qi."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchen felt a pang of panic, but he feigned composure and asked, "Where do you intend to take us?"
Sweetheart, "Yeah, you big bad guy, where do you want to send us!"
Master Qi said dismissively, "Of course I'll send you to a good place."
Ye Yuchen: "I'm not going!"
Sweetheart, "I'm not going!"
"You have no choice but to go, whether you want to or not."
Master Qi clearly didn't want to deal with the two any longer and said, "Take them away and keep a close eye on them."
The subordinate walked in and replied, "Yes, Master Qi."
Immediately, his subordinates tried to pull Ye Yuchen and the other man away.
Sweetheart protested, "I won't go, I won't go, let me go!"
Ye Yuchen echoed this sentiment.
However, the two of them were naturally no match for a well-trained martial artist.
Soon, the two were led to a fairly decent room.
After that person left, Sweetie couldn't help but cry, "Waaah... I really want to go home."
