Chapter 809: Take One Step at a Time
After beating the man, the two strong men warned him viciously.
"If you dare to curse again, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Luo Yechen was lying on the ground in a mess, with several shoe prints on his clothes, looking miserable.
The two sturdy men turned their heads and looked at Xiao Xixi.
Only then did Xiao Xixi notice that the two sturdy men were wearing masks on their faces. They were the colorful masks often sold on the street, with different patterns painted on them with oil paint.
Xiao Xixi didn't move, as quiet as a chicken.
Seeing that she was quite honest, the two strong men did not do anything to her and just said.
"Now that you have fallen into our hands, don't even think about running away. Stay here honestly. Once we get the money, we will naturally let you go."
Xiao Xixi: "You kidnapped us for money?"
One of the burly men sneered, "Of course it's not just for the money!"
Xiao Xixi: "Besides money, what else do you want?"
"This is not something you should know. Don't do anything unnecessary, or else don't blame us for being rude to you!"
After saying these harsh words, the two sturdy men strode out.
The warehouse door was closed again.
Xiao Xixi looked at Luo Yechen who was lying on the ground and asked.
"How are you?"
Luo Yechen grimaced in pain: "Not good! I am not fine at all!"
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
Xiao Xixi: "Did you hear that? They just said they kidnapped us for money."
Luo Yechen said angrily: "Even if I throw my money into the water, I won't give them a penny!"
Xiao Xixi: "Keep your voice down. What if someone hears you again? Do you still want to be beaten?"
Luo Yechen could only shut up in disappointment.
Xiao Xixi asked: "What do you think is more important, money or life?"
Luo Yechen understood what she meant. He said angrily, "This is not a question of importance. This is related to my reputation as the King of England. If others knew that I gave money to the kidnappers, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?!"
Xiao Xixi thought his train of thought was very unique.
"Do you think face is more important than life and money?"
Luo Yechen admitted without hesitation: "Of course!"
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Okay, this guy is just too proud to suffer!
It was quiet for a while.
Luo Yechen couldn't help but speak again: "If they receive the money, will they really let us go?"
Xiao Xixi joked, "Don't you think face is more important than money and life?"
Luo Yechen suddenly became angry and said, "I'm just asking, you can tell me if you want to or not!"
Xiao Xixi: "They probably won't take our lives."
Luo Yechen: "Why do you think so?"
Xiao Xixi explained slowly and calmly.
“When they came in, they had masks on their faces.
This shows that they don't want us to see their faces.
They do this for only one purpose, which is to prevent us from knowing their appearance so that it will be easier for them to escape.
If they were determined to kill us, why would they do this?"
Luo Yechen nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "You make sense."
Xiao Xixi then changed the subject.
"But it's also possible that the kidnappers are too cautious and afraid of accidents, so they cover their faces with masks. After they get the money, they will kill us to eliminate the trouble forever."
Luo Yechen: “…”
The heart that had just been put down was instantly lifted up again.
It goes up and down so fast that I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
He said with resentment: "You said so much, what's the difference between saying nothing?"
Xiao Xixi sighed quietly: "We should prepare for the worst in everything, so that when we are really faced with a desperate situation, we won't be too upset."
Luo Yechen: "So what are your plans?"
Xiao Xixi: "I have no plans yet, let's just take it one step at a time."
Luo Yechen was almost so angry that he cursed.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you be more reliable?"
Xiao Xixi: "I'm just an ordinary concubine in the harem. You can't have too high expectations of me."
Luo Yechen: "Aren't you the princess of Nanyue Kingdom? I heard that people of Nanyue are best at using Gu, you can use Gu!"
Xiao Xixi: "Gu insects are so scary. How can a weak concubine like me use such a scary thing? What if the emperor finds out and starts to hate me? What if I lose favor, how will I live in the future? Have you thought about this?"
Luo Yechen: “…”
Forget it, he shouldn't count on this woman.
He should figure it out on his own!
The warehouse fell silent again.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The warehouse door was pushed open again.
This time, the person who walked in was a woman wearing an autumn-scented skirt.
She also wore a mask on her face, had two silver hairpins in her hair, and was holding a food box in her hand.
After she walked in, she first looked at Luo Yechen who was lying on the ground and laughed softly.
Luo Yechen asked angrily: "What are you laughing at?"
The woman said, "I find you very amusing. I never thought that the noble King of England would have such a day."
Luo Yechen wanted to curse, but was afraid of being beaten, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The woman opened the food box and took out two bowls of noodles.
"The food here is rather simple, so please make do with what you have."
Xiao Xixi said pitifully, "Sister, my hands and feet are tied up. I can't eat even if I want to. Why don't you help me untie the ropes on my hands? When I'm done eating, tie me up again. I promise I won't do anything wrong."
When the woman heard this, she chuckled again.
"Your brain works quickly. Okay, I'll untie the rope for you right now."
After saying that, she shouted twice to the outside.
"Old Five, come in and help!"
A burly man wearing a mask strode in.
At the woman's signal, he helped Xiao Xixi untie the ropes on her hands.
The woman pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and put the blade against Luo Yechen's neck.
The woman said, "Your Highness, please eat slowly. Don't be anxious, and don't move around. Otherwise, His Royal Highness the King of England will die."
Luo Yechen was furious: "Why are you threatening her with my life? I don't know her at all!"
Xiao Xixi rubbed her sore wrist and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I'm not familiar with him. Even if you kill him, it won't have much impact on me."
Luo Yechen became even angrier: "Do you still have any humanity? I am your man's elder brother after all!"
Xiao Xixi looked innocent: "Didn't you just say you weren't familiar with me?"
Luo Yechen was speechless and his handsome face turned red.
This woman is so hateful!
The sturdy man called Lao Wu was not as good-tempered as the woman, and he urged impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. Don't waste our time!"
Xiao Xixi picked up the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other.
She picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and was about to put it into her mouth when she suddenly asked.
"Did you put poison in this?"
