The crying sound completely disturbed Lin Yuexi's thoughts. Her hands froze in mid-air and she could no longer write. Her heart was filled with worry about the child.
Just when Lin Yuexi was extremely anxious, Gong Yichen's childish voice came again: "Mom, find a way to delay time, Dad will be here soon..."
Hearing Gong Yichen's childish voice, Lin Yuexi's heart was shocked, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in the darkness.
She knew very well that she had to calm down at this moment and use the opportunities created by the children to delay time and wait for Gong Mufeng's arrival.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, suppressed her inner worry and anxiety, slowly raised her head, and said to the criminals who were upset by the crying of the child: "The child is crying so hard, he must be hungry or uncomfortable. It's not a good idea for you to hold him like this, let me go and take a look."
The hooked nose frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He stared at Lin Yuexi coldly, as if weighing whether her words were credible.
After a moment, he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, don't play any tricks. If you dare to act rashly, I guarantee that none of you will survive!"
After saying that, he signaled the men holding the child to bring the child to Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi hurriedly took the child and hugged Gong Yichen tightly in her arms, her eyes full of heartache and love.
She gently stroked his little face and whispered in their ears: "Don't be afraid, baby, mommy is here."
Gong Yichen seemed to feel his mother's comfort, and his crying gradually subsided, but Gong Yutong was still crying loudly from time to time.
Lin Yuexi was full of anxiety. She held Gong Yichen tightly with one hand and tried eagerly to pick up Gong Yutong with the other hand. Her eyes were full of concern for the child.
Unexpectedly, the hooked nose was like a cold-blooded devil, and said coldly, "You can only hug one, not both..."
The tone was unquestionable and the eyes were extremely sharp.
Lin Yuexi felt a mixture of anger and helplessness in her heart. How could she bear to give up any of her children? But the situation was pressing at the moment, so she had to hand Gong Yichen over, and then carefully took Gong Yutong over.
But who would have thought that as soon as Gong Yichen left his mother's arms, he started crying loudly again. The cry tugged at Lin Yuexi's heart, making her feel as if it was being cut by a knife.
This happened over and over again. The child's crying and Lin Yuexi's anxious expression completely angered the bad guys.
One of the criminals couldn't help but curse in English, "Feed them some medicine, let them be quiet..."
They thought Lin Yuexi couldn't understand English, so they expressed their vicious thoughts without hesitation.
However, what they didn't know was that Lin Yuexi not only understood English, but also had a clear understanding of their conspiracy.
At this moment, "Oh no, mom, they are going to give us sleeping pills. Mom, we can't cry anymore, and we can't help you..."
The two children's immature and frightened voices once again clearly entered Lin Yuexi's mind.
Lin Yuexi felt distressed, and at the same time she quickly responded in her heart, "Don't be afraid, my two darlings, just keep crying, Mommy has a way..."
After that, she raised her head, looked directly at the hooked nose with a firm and angry gaze, and said in English without fear,
"If you feed my two children medicine, forget about the production drawings..."
Although her voice was not loud, it carried an inviolable majesty.
When the hook-nosed man heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He obviously didn't expect that Lin Yuexi could not only understand English, but also speak it.
He was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, but there was still a trace of astonishment in his eyes. "Madam, since you can understand what we say, then I will not hide it from you. As long as you hand over the weapon manufacturing drawings, we promise not to harm you and your children. Moreover, if you are willing to come to our country, our head of state will also treat you with courtesy!"
Lin Yuexi sneered and responded without flinching, "You are going to hurt my children now, how can I trust you to treat the three of us well..."
The hook-nosed man heard this and said, "Madam, I'm sorry. Although you are all in my hands now, if we give them all to you, who knows what you will do?
And I also heard that Madam is quite skilled in martial arts and knows the art of Qimen Dunjia."
Of course, if you agree to go to our country, there is no need to draw this blueprint now, we will take you back home immediately..."
When Lin Yuexi heard this, alarm bells suddenly sounded in her heart. She didn't expect that this hook-nosed man had found out all her details. She had really wanted to slip into the space as soon as she got the two treasures, but it seemed that this method would not work.
But he couldn't agree to let him go to their country. If he agreed, wouldn't they have to evacuate, and wouldn't Gong Mufeng come here for nothing? The best way now was to delay time.
Lin Yuexi then said, "I won't go to your country. I'd better put the two children to sleep first and help you draw! After you finish, let us go back quickly..."
After hearing what Lin Yuexi said, the hook-nosed man showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but he still tried hard not to get angry.
He knew very well that he could not completely ruin the relationship before getting the weapons manufacturing drawings.
"Hmph, ma'am, I hope you can finish the painting as soon as possible and don't force me to lose my patience."
The hook-nosed man said coldly, with a hint of threat in his eyes.
Lin Yuexi ignored his threats, but lowered her head and continued to gently coax Gong Yutong in her arms.
While coaxing him, she observed the movements of the criminals around her out of the corner of her eye.
At this time, the atmosphere in the cave was extremely tense. Apart from the occasional crying of children and the crackling of the burning campfire, there was no other sound.
After a while, Gong Yutong's crying finally subsided, and she fell asleep in Lin Yuexi's arms.
Lin Yuexi gently put her aside, and then looked at Gong Yichen who was still sobbing. She hugged Gong Yichen in her arms again, gently stroked his back, and whispered: "Baby, be good, hold on for a while, Dad will come to save us."
The hook-nosed man watched Lin Yuexi's actions from the side and urged impatiently: "Can you start drawing? The child has been coaxed, don't waste any more time."
Lin Yuexi raised her head, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I just calmed the child down, you have to give me a break. Besides, this drawing is very complicated, I have to sort out my thoughts first, if I make a mistake, don't blame me."
The hook-nosed man gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said, "Okay, I'll give you five minutes. After five minutes, you must start painting."
Lin Yuexi did not respond to him, but closed her eyes and pretended to organize her thoughts. In fact, she was quickly thinking about the next plan in her mind.
She knew that every minute of delay would increase Gong Mufeng's chances of successfully finding and rescuing them.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the hooked nose urged again: "Time is up, Madam, can we start now?"
