Xue Jiayu wanted to argue with her again, but she looked like she was too lazy to listen. She took out a bundle of transparent tape from her grocery store-like woven bag and sealed Xue Jiayu's mouth with it.

Although it hurts to tear off the transparent tape, it is much better than the dirty cloth. Xue Jiayu closed his eyes and thought about what to do next.

Li Minxue crawled into bed and soon began to snore loudly.

Gu Yuan almost fell asleep waiting, unable to go home, and unable to save Xue Jiayu. He was leaning on Zhan Nanqi in a daze, and suddenly felt him stand up.

"South--"

Gu Yuan just said one word when Zhan Nanqi covered his mouth. He quickly swallowed the rest of his words and looked at Zhan Nanqi to ask what he was doing.

Zhan Nanqi searched everywhere and finally found a discarded toy gun.

Gu Yuan stood aside and scratched his head, "Nan Qi, if you want this toy, go back and tell Aunt Jiang, she will definitely buy you a new one. Is there any need to stare at it all the time?"

If that doesn't work, he can just give Zhan Nanqi a new toy!

Zhan Nanqi didn't say anything, he just squatted down and disassembled the toy gun.

After a while, he removed two springs from it.

Gu Yuan was confused, but soon he saw Zhan Nanqi straighten two springs and make them into two spike-like objects.

Only then did he understand that Zhan Nanqi wanted to use this thing to cut the rope on Xue Jiayu's hands.

Although the tools are simple, they are the best tools they can use now.

But there is a bigger problem—Li Minxue.

"She could wake up at any moment. If she finds you, both of you will be caught."

Zhan Nanqi raised his eyes to look at him, "So you have to watch, if he finds me, you go find someone."

"Who should I look for?" Gu Yuan listened to Zhan Nanqi's instructions in a daze.

"Just find a police station around here, or try to contact our family."

Zhan Nanqi told Gu Yuan in detail how to save them, and then left, leaving Gu Yuan feeling anxious and worried.

This might be the most words Zhan Nanqi has ever spoken to him, but he can't remember it at all!

Gu Yuan could only hold his breath and pray that Zhan Nanqi would not be discovered by Li Minxue.

The phoenixes by the river were very big, and Xue Jiayu was so cold that she couldn't sleep at all.

Tired and hungry, she wasn't worried that Li Minxue would kill her.

Li Minxue was only after money, so there was no need to kill her. In this era, the sentences for crimes were still relatively severe, and most people would be afraid of them.

As she was dazed by the wind, she seemed to see a vague figure walking towards her...

Brother Nanqi!

Xue Jiayu woke up instantly.

Brother Nanqi really understood her hint and came to save her!

Zhan Nanqi walked around, bypassed Li Minxue's "bedside", squatted beside Xue Jiayu, and used a homemade tool to sharpen the rope in her hand.

【Will this work? 】

Hearing her doubts, Zhan Nanqi didn't say anything, but just quickened his movements, and soon saw the effect.

Hemp rope is different from nylon rope. It doesn't take much effort to grind it, but it takes time.

Just when it was about to break, Li Minxue's snoring suddenly stopped.

Xue Jiayu's heart was in her throat. She prayed to all the gods she knew in her heart, asking them to protect Li Minxue and never let her find Zhan Nanqi.

Zhan Nanqi paused, but his hands continued to move and grind.

Fortunately, Li Minxue turned over, turned her back to them, and soon started snoring again. Xue Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was scared to death!

After the rope was worn through, the two of them left quietly and started running only after they were ten meters away.

Gu Yuan also hurriedly followed, and they didn't stop until they reached the main road.

It was already very late, only the street lights were on, and there was not even a taxi to be seen.

Gu Yuan was terrified. "Nan Qi, I was almost scared to death when you passed by just now! If both of you were caught and I don't know the way home, how can I save you two by myself!"

Xue Jiayu laughed at him while panting, "Still saving us. When you run away, remember to run as far as you can."

"Xue Jiayu! Do you have any sense of loyalty? I stayed here until now just for you!"

Looking at Gu Yuanqi's puffy face, Xue Jiayu couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not knowing how to appreciate a good person. Don't be angry, Brother Gu Yuan."

Xue Jiayu stuck out her tongue and laughed, and Gu Yuan was so angry that he snorted several times.

"Stop the car."

Zhan Nanqi suddenly said.

Xue Jiayu turned around immediately and saw a taxi coming towards them.

The taxi driver was a little surprised to see three children stopping his car on the side of the road and stopped immediately.

"Kids, what are you doing here? It's so late and you're not going home yet!"

"Uncle, can you take us home? I'll ask Dad to give you the money when we get home!"

Seeing that the three children were wearing school uniforms but good shoes, the driver thought they must be children from wealthy families, so he agreed.

"Okay, get in the car."

…

After Li Minxue hung up the phone, Jiang Qiuyi immediately asked the police, "Have you thought of any measures to take?"

"We will arrange people to ambush nearby and capture her as soon as she appears."

"that's all?"

Jiang Qiuyi was obviously dissatisfied. "What if we don't catch the person? And how can you guarantee that the child won't be hurt during the operation?"

The police officer frowned and said, "Don't question what we do as a police officer. We have reasons for all our actions."

"But I'm worried about my child's comfort! Li Minxue is a lunatic. What if she takes advantage of the crowd to hold my daughter hostage?"

The policeman slammed the table and said, "As a parent, you just need to prepare the money. The rest will be left to the police."

Jiang Qiuyi wanted to argue again, but was pulled away by Xue Wangjun.

"Okay, let's go up and get the money."

As soon as she went upstairs, Jiang Qiuyu pouted and looked aggrieved.

"Did you hear their tone? It seems like they only want to complete the task and don't care about our daughter's life or death!"

"How could that be?" Xue Wangjun patted her back to comfort her. "You have to trust the police, or at least trust me."

Jiang Qiuyu cried heartily, and suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Xue Wangjun's hand with a firm expression.

"Hubby, let's go save our daughter ourselves."

Xue Wangjun was slightly startled, "What did you say?"

"We'll save Xiaobao ourselves. Tomorrow you distract the police and I'll put the money there."

Xue Wangjun's first reaction was that it wouldn't work. "Stop messing around, honey. We have to listen to the police."

"I will listen to whoever can save my child."

Jiang Qiuyi took a deep breath and said, "Police officers want performance, reputation and good reputation, but I don't want that. I just want Xiaobao to come back safely."

Xue Wangjun had to admit that what she said made sense.

After careful consideration, Xue Wangjun nodded.

"So what do you want to do?"

"I've thought about it. Let's do this..."

They were taking a long time to come downstairs, and the police became impatient, so they asked Xu Suzhen to go upstairs and urge them.

Xu Suzhen didn't dare to offend the police and went there immediately.
