Kidnapping, such an act, naturally involves more than one person; there must be lookouts and accomplices outside.
Sure enough, after running for a short distance, two more black-clad figures appeared. The group nodded at each other and continued running ahead.
Soon, they arrived at a courtyard on the edge of town, where the group swiftly vaulted over the wall with their captive and quickly knocked on the door.
From the outside, there was no light in the courtyard, but as soon as the door opened, light spilled out from inside, evidently because the windows had been blocked.
Du Man and Du Juan took Yang Ruxin to the rooftop, gently removing a tile.
The room was lit by candlelight; although not very bright, it was enough to see everyone inside.
A man and a woman sat on chairs, listening to the report from the black-clad figures.
"Put her there." Alian nodded.
The girl who had been kidnapped was placed on the kang, and the wrapped blanket was opened.
However, in such cold weather, the little girl was wearing pajamas when she was taken. Now that the blanket was removed, she shivered from the cold, and the little bit of sedative in her system dissipated. She awoke with a start, glanced around, and though scared, she quickly calmed down: "Who are you?"
Yang Ruxin frowned. The one captured was Sini. However, fortunately, her teachings over the past days were successful. The little girl didnât scream or cry, at least ensuring she wouldnât suffer physical harm.
"Why a girl?" Alianâs voice came over, "Werenât you supposed to capture her brother?"
"We couldnât find that boyâs room," the black-clad figure bowed respectfully, "but she is very good to her sister."
"What good is that?" Alian frowned, "She has many sisters; if push comes to shove, she might abandon one..."
"Thatâs nonsense." Sini was not pleased upon hearing this. "My big sister would never abandon any of us."
"Whatâs your name?" Alian turned around in surprise and walked over, looking down at Sini.
"My name isnât important; whatâs important is that youâre the bad guys, right?" Sini blinked her slightly sleepy eyes. "I guess you want to use me against my big sister? Then youâd better treat me well. Otherwise, if I fall ill or die, youâll lose your leverage, and my big sister will surely avenge me." With that, she lifted her little hand, covered her mouth for a cute yawn, "Iâm so sleepy. I want to sleep. My big sister said not getting enough sleep is a big taboo for women. Itâll cause wrinkles and freckles, making me ugly. Auntie, you staying up late will age you..." Saying this, she lay down, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes.
Alian instinctively touched her face. Auntie? How could she be that old? This little girlâs mouth was really sharp, but the main thing was, knowing she was kidnapped, she wasnât scared at all?
On the rooftop, Yang Ruxin laughed. Despite Siniâs young age, her wisdom was certainly not inferior to Sanniâs. The key was, this girl was always the most carefree in their family, with an adaptability even Yang Ruxin admired.
"Heh." Deng Da suddenly laughed, "Interesting." Suddenly, his face turned serious, and he threw something toward the rooftop, shouting, "Whoâs there?"
