Chapter 555 He Comes (2)
Princess Ming An is so self-righteous that it is impossible for her to be associated with a nobody. However, if someone of high position and status is willing to take the risk and gamble his future with Princess Ming An to kidnap Shen Miao, he will definitely not let it go if he finds out the truth. Ming Qi officials have always been seeking profit and avoiding harm, and they would definitely not do such a dangerous thing.
Therefore, it can only be those who have a certain official position, but are still extremely eager to climb higher, even disregarding their own lives. Who is such a person among the officials of Ming Qi? Shen Miao couldn't think of it for a while.
However, since this matter involved Princess Ming'an, Shen Xin had to deal with many things that would inevitably lead to trouble. For some reason, Shen Miao's first thought was that if Xie Jingxing took action, he should be able to find her quickly. Come to think of it, Xie Jingxing also had the Fengxian Pawnshop, and Fengxian Pawnshop had intelligence spread far and wide. If the person who kidnapped her was familiar with every place in Dingjing City, and Fengxian Pawnshop had been doing business in Mingqi for so many years, it would have extensive connections. How could it fail?
Shen Miao could only hope that Xie Jingxing would find her as soon as possible.
She struggled to pull her hands back into her sleeves. The rope was tied very tightly, and Shen Miao almost rubbed her wrists raw before she could reach the hairpin in her sleeves.
She had made it specifically, since her rebirth, to avoid any accidents. The tip of the hairpin was curved into a hook, so in a critical moment, she could probably use it to blind someone. It was a technique she learned in her previous life in the palace, but for now, it could also be used to sharpen the ropes that bound her hands and feet.
Just as she was about to take action, she heard footsteps outside. Shen Miao's heart moved and she quickly stuffed the hairpin back into her sleeve. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, pretending to be still unconscious.
The door was opened, and it seemed that someone was walking in from outside. Judging from the footsteps, there was more than one person.
One of them said, "The Shen family is making too much noise. If this continues, when will they be able to transport the people away?"
Another person replied, "Why panic? We have him now. It won't be too late to send him away after he has avoided the limelight for a while."
There were two people. Shen Miao was thinking in her heart. From the other party's tone, she was just hiding here temporarily and would eventually be sent out. Wherever Princess Ming An could send her, it wouldn't be a good place. She felt a little relieved because Shen Xin's actions were extremely fast. Now that the whole city was on high alert and so many eyes were watching, it would be difficult for the other party to send her out. At least for a short period of time, she would not be in any danger.
But… Shen Miao was suspicious. Why did the voices of these two people sound familiar? But she was pretending to be asleep and couldn't open her eyes to see.
As if she could sense someone's gaze on her, Shen Miao heard someone hesitantly say, "Why hasn't she woken up yet? Did she use too much force when she did it?"
"Second brother, it's already this late, and you still care about whether she wakes up or not?" Another person said, "Don't worry, even if Shen Miao doesn't wake up, the princess will only be happy. You've seen the princess's attitude. The more miserable Shen Miao is, the better. It doesn't matter whether she's dead or alive."
"I'm just worried," the man who called "Second Brother" said with a hint of worry in his voice, "If Dad finds out about this..."
"So what if Dad finds out? Don't forget, you and I are Dad's biological sons. Ever since that little bastard died, Dad will only have us two brothers to rely on." The man said, "Besides, the Xie and Shen families are at odds. Do you think Dad would denounce his own sons for the sake of the Shen family, a family he doesn't have any ties with?"
