Mu Shanhai clutched his stomach and cried out loudly.
"What's going on?" The voice immediately attracted the attention of the others. The one-eyed man turned around, frowned, and said.
"What is it?" A man in black walked up to Mu Shanhai and asked.
His tone was still quite polite, and his attitude towards Mu Shanhai was also quite proper.
Qi Tianlong, who was standing to the side, saw this and silently gave his friend a thumbs up.
As expected, you're experienced; you must have kidnapped quite a few people when you were young.
"My stomach hurts. I've had this problem for years. It's probably because I ate something bad last night. Can I go to the toilet?" Mu Shanhai said softly, clutching his stomach and looking very pained.
The man in black nodded and walked towards the one-eyed man, saying, "Boss, 'Food' has a stomachache and needs to go to the toilet."
The one-eyed man glanced at Mu Shanhai. "Food" was a slang term used by the mercenaries to refer to the target personnel they were working with.
Seeing his pained expression, he walked over to him.
Approaching Mu Shanhai, the one-eyed man leaned down and whispered in Mu Shanhai's ear, "I know you're faking it, but I'm giving you this chance. Don't try anything funny. Your daughter is still in my hands. If you try anything funny, I'll only be able to collect your daughter's corpse."
"What tricks do you think I can pull right now?" Mu Shanhai said coldly.
The one-eyed man ignored him and continued, "Ten minutes. If it takes more than a minute, your daughter will have a scratch." With that, he waved his hand to the side.
Two men in black approached, and the one-eyed man said, "Keep an eye on him!"
Then, Mu Shanhai was led by them towards the other side of the forest.
"Ten-minute break," the one-eyed man said calmly, glancing at Mu Shanhai's retreating figure, while also glancing at Mu Shiyu.
"Sister Shiyu, what's wrong with Uncle?" Jiang Xian'er asked, her face full of questions. She was still a beginner when it came to these things and had a lot to learn.
Mu Shiyu shook her head: "I don't know, Father probably had an upset stomach last night."
"Hmph, these people are really despicable. After I escape, I will definitely have my father catch them all. Then I will teach them a lesson one by one, especially that ugly purple monster." Jiang Xian'er waved her little fist and said fiercely to Mona.
Mu Shiyu smiled, glanced around nervously, and then quickly tore off a small piece of the innermost strip.
"Okay, I hope so!" Mu Shiyu said to Jiang Xian'er with a smile. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quickly threw the small piece of cloth in her hand on the ground and stepped on it.
On the other side.
Luo Chen started his bicycle and frantically traversed the mountain paths.
He sped forward and finally crossed a mountain.
"Another one? It seems we're not far off." Luo Chen said with a determined look, staring at the torn strips of cloth lying on the road.
They then quickened their pace and continued deeper into another mountain...
"Eight minutes have passed," the one-eyed man said calmly, glancing at the time.
He gazed in the direction Mu Shanhai had gone, wondering if the other party had some kind of trick up his sleeve.
However, he glanced at Mu Shiyu and the thought vanished.
Mu Shanhai wouldn't be so foolish as to use his own daughter as a price. According to intelligence, Mu Shanhai cares deeply about his daughter, so this scenario is impossible.
"Ten minutes." The one-eyed man didn't speak, but drew the dagger from his waist and walked towards Mu Shiyu.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Xian'er saw this and stepped forward to block Mu Shiyu, spreading her arms and saying in a trembling voice, "You, you don't come any closer?"
Behind her, Qi Tianlong and Lao Tie also stood up.
"Stay put, what do you want?" Mona stepped forward instantly, pointing her pistol at the crowd.
"You, you mustn't come any closer! I won't allow you to hurt Sister Shiyu!" Jiang Xian'er swallowed hard, then stood firmly in front of Mu Shiyu with her arms outstretched, her eyes resolute.
"Ten minutes have passed, and your father has broken his promise. Therefore, you need to pay the price." The one-eyed man ignored Jiang Xian'er and instead looked at Mu Shiyu, speaking coldly.
Then, he threw Jiang Xian'er to the ground and reached for Mu Shiyu with the dagger in his hand.
Beside him, Viper struck a pose as if drawing his sword, watching Lao Tie and the others.
The air around us seemed to freeze at that moment.
Jiang Xian'er was thrown to the ground and tried to get up, but Mona slapped her down again.
Mu Shiyu stared at the one-eyed man without the slightest fear.
"You can give it a try?"
"Of course not, Mr. Mu. I just hope you can keep your promise." The one-eyed man quickly sheathed his dagger, turned around and smiled at Mu Shanhai.
"If she gets even the slightest bit hurt, you'll get nothing." Mu Shanhai hurriedly walked up to Mu Shiyu and frantically checked her body.
A ruthless glint flashed in the one-eyed man's eyes. He waved his hand, turned, and left: "Continue on your way."
"Xian'er, are you alright?" After the one-eyed man turned and left, Mu Shiyu quickly pushed Mona aside and helped Jiang Xian'er up.
Jiang Xian'er shook her head, her eyes red.
It seemed that from that moment on, she understood that, having left Hope Town and her father's protection, she was nothing in the eyes of outsiders.
Even so, she would stand up and shield Mu Shiyu.
Perhaps, this is what she wants to become.
"Thank you, you shouldn't have done that." Mu Shiyu said, patting the dust off Jiang Xian'er's clothes, her nose red.
Jiang Xian'er stroked Mu Shiyu's head and said in a pretentious manner, "Hmph, I'm not afraid of those people at all. Besides, my dream since I was little has been to protect every weak person, which is why I want to be a doctor or a nurse. So, don't worry about me."
"Think about that big bad guy, he's always protecting us. Now that he's not here, I'll protect you, because that's my duty." Jiang Xian'er patted her chest, her tone full of certainty.
Mu Shiyu was amused by her appearance.
"I just wonder where that big bad guy is now? If he were here, they definitely wouldn't dare to bully us." Jiang Xian'er suddenly looked dejected and said.
"They will definitely come." Mu Shiyu didn't answer, but just thought to herself.
"Damn, my legs are about to break," Luo Chen said, bending over with his hands on his knees, panting heavily.
He looked up and saw a long, narrow path.
"No wonder Lao Tie said before that this road is difficult to walk on. If it were night, he probably wouldn't dare to take a step." Luo Chen sighed helplessly.
After packing my backpack, I continued rushing forward.
About ten minutes later, Luo Chen looked at the shredded cloth on the ground.
They looked around the flat area again, their footsteps disordered.
He walked over and touched several places with his hands, hoping to feel the temperature from these areas that felt like they had been touched by a butt.
This will help him determine how far they have traveled.
"It's not far now, we need to be careful from here on out."
Luo Chen gazed ahead, thinking to himself.
