"Pick up!"
Now they could only answer it.
As soon as the call connected, they could hear children crying all over the room on the other end. And also some womenâs crying and shouting, saying something Eleven could not understand.
The official language in Mexico should be Spanish.
Immediately following, the people in this room also seemed to have panicked. They were speaking excitedly. Someone even put a dagger on her neck again.
Eleven widened her eyes, daring not to move randomly.
Good heavens, whatever was happening on the other side had nothing to do with her!
However, the standoff didnât last long, it seemed like a compromise was reached on her side. Someone cut off the ropes binding her.
When Eleven saw these people seemingly ready to let her go, she carefully stood up and walked a few steps outside. Seeing that they didnât seem to care where she was going to, Eleven quickened her step to open the door and escape.
Outside the door, there was a group of men in black. Some of them were familiar to her, so she knew that they were Li Sinianâs men.
Eleven squeezed through the gap between them, without wanting to know what was about to happen.
Xiao Man was standing outside the crowd.
"Sister Man!"
"Are you okay? Were you scared?"
"Itâs fine... Their goal was money and escape, they had no intention of doing anything to me."
"As long as youâre fine."
"But Sister Man, they said that the Interpol was ambushing in this hotel... Who are they here to arrest?"
"As long as theyâre not here to arrest you, letâs go."
Xiao Man didnât care about these things either.
"What about them..." Eleven was referring to the kidnappers who tied her up.
"Mr. Li is already aware of it. They intended to catch me, but got you by mistake," Xiao Man walked ahead, speaking calmly, "I can speak for some matters, but there are things beyond my control. At least until now, no one has been able to threaten Mr. Li."
Eleven stood still.
"Humans are hard to predict. Even the worst ones still harbour certain feelings, always having someone important they want to protect. Even Mr. Li, despite his power and influence, still has me, his weak point."
So from Xiao Manâs words, those people canât get out of that room?
Xiao Man turned back, took her hand, "Letâs go, Iâll escort you down. The Fourth Master should have been downstairs by now."
...
As soon as the elevator opened, Eleven was shocked at the sight of the two people inside.
The Song siblings?
More importantly...
They were holding hands, with Song Yanxi almost completely clinging onto Song Xiuxiaâs body, appearing on this floor inevitably provoking speculations...
If it werenât for their confirmed identities as siblings, Eleven would have had dirty thoughts.
"How... How come youâre here?"
Song Yanxi immediately let go of her brotherâs hand, "Oh! I was just on a blind date, and informed Xiuxia in advance to come rescue me, we were just putting on a show."
"Oh..." This explanation made sense, "Sister Yanxi is so pretty, why does she need blind dates? Iâve no idea till where the line of men pursuing her extends."
"Itâs the family arranged occasion, I had no choice."
After exchanging greetings, they left. The two siblings showed no curiosity towards Xiao Man.
In the elevator, Xiao Man giggled, "The Songâs younger brother is really attractive. He doesnât chase me, how rare."
"Because Sister Man is also beautiful. I guess he has seen plenty of beautiful women, he probably got aesthetic fatigue."
"If it werenât for the fear of him being in danger, I would have definitely teased him."
Danger... She must be referring to Li Sinian, right?
As soon as Eleven came down to the hall, Gu Liancheng entered.
Stepping up, Xiao Man greeted him first. Hence, he knew what had just happened.
"I must apologize, Fourth Master. Iâm sorry that Little Cute had to suffer for me," she said.
