Chapter 289 One step too late?
After arranging the chores at home and asking Zhao Xier which road they took, Ling Chuan dragged Xia Mo on a non-stop chase. It took four full days to catch up with them.
In this regard, Xia Mo was extremely grateful that he had the water from the spiritual lake with him, otherwise, his thigh roots would have been rubbed off several layers of skin.
They thought that after catching up with Zhao Xier, they just needed to find the right time to kidnap her and then proceed to the next step. However, unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and kidnapped Zhao Xier before they could take action.
As for Gu Wenlang and the guards who accompanied him, they were knocked unconscious and left on the side of the road. Their lives were not in danger, so they went for Zhao Xier.
After receiving this news, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan couldn't help but frown and their expressions became serious.
Who ordered this? It couldn't be that someone knew they were going to kidnap someone and took him away, right? Hmm... Impossible.
If that were true, it would be horrible.
Xia Mo thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chuan, do you think she has offended someone else? So she has been waiting for her to return to Beijing, and then wanted to kidnap her without anyone noticing, and then secretly kill her?"
After all, Liu San and the others also said that this group of people appeared suddenly, which meant that they had either been waiting for Zhao Xier for a long time or had just come here on orders.
Oh, Liu San is one of the people sent by his brother Chuan to follow Zhao Xier, and this is the first time he has seen him.
"It's not impossible. Once Liu San finds out where the person is tied up, we'll go take a look and find out."
Ling Chuan did not deny the young man's speculation, nor was he sure why the group wanted to kidnap Zhao Xier, but no matter what, they had to find this woman as soon as possible.
Xia Mo thought so too, "There should be news soon." Liu San and the others watched Zhao Xier being kidnapped. In order not to alert the enemy, they did not dare to advance rashly and could only follow from a distance, so it was not difficult to determine where she was being held.
Ling Chuan said "hmm", his eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the blue marks under the little brother's eyes, feeling distressed, "You haven't had a good rest these days, go and rest for a while."
Xia Mo was indeed very tired. After thinking for a while, he felt that Liu San and the others would not be able to come back for a while, so he did not intend to force himself, "Then let's go together."
Ling Chuan shook his head, lowered his head and raised his hand to touch the end of the boy's narrow eyes, "I'm not sleepy yet, but you're almost getting panda eyes."
Pandas are the national treasure of my brother's world. I heard that they are covered with fur, black and white, and the area around their eyes is black. They are a very cute species.
"Itchy." The man's fingertips were no longer as rough as before, but Xia Mo still couldn't help complaining. However, even though it was itchy, he didn't move his head away.
Glancing at the man who looked in good spirits, Xia Mo suddenly thought of yesterday's absurdity. He couldn't help but curl his lips and secretly said that it was unfair, but he really wanted to lie down.
However, before going to bed, he felt it necessary to warn the man.
"If they have any news, you are not allowed to act secretly without calling me."
"No, you just don't believe in your husband?" Ling Chuan pinched his face in revenge, thinking it was slippery.
"No." Xia Mo muttered, then he pulled back his strength and leaned directly towards the man's stomach, "I want to take a bath before sleeping."
Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask the waiter to prepare some hot water for you."
"Yeah." Xia Mo responded twice, then straightened his back as if he had absorbed enough energy and stepped out of the man's arms, "You go."
When it comes to using men, Xia Mo is not polite at all. If he bullies him sometimes, he should collect the interest...
At night, a cool breeze blows and silver light scatters across the earth.
Outside the remote farmhouse, the surroundings were completely silent except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds; it was eerily quiet.
In the room, Zhao Xier was extremely panicked when she woke up and found herself locked in a strange place.
Her captors did not restrict her movements, but they were limited to this room.
"Who is it? Who kidnapped me? Do you know who I am? My father, Zhao Yide, is a big shot in front of the emperor!"
Zhao Xier ran to the door, knocked on it and shouted boldly, but no one answered.
Who kidnapped her? And where is her Gu Lang? Could it be that...
No! Impossible. Zhao Xier shook her head suddenly, shaking off that absurd idea.
Her Gu Lang is destined to be a rising star in the court in the future, and nothing will happen to him, otherwise what would be the point of her rebirth!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xier's panicked and anxious heart finally calmed down a little. Then, she began to pull at the door and yell, asking someone to let her out.
Unfortunately, her captors didn't care much.
It's out in the wilderness, no one will notice her even if she screams at the top of her lungs, and it will also make her feel scared, so she can question her when her master comes. Why not do it?
"You bunch of bandits! You bastards! Did you hear me telling you to open the door? And where's my husband? What did you do to him? I tell you, if anything happens to him, I'll make you regret coming into this world!"
Zhao Xier's sharp voice floated out from the room along with the sound of banging on the door. The guard rolled his eyes silently after hearing such idiotic words. He still couldn't figure out the situation after so long. What a fool.
But this woman talks about her husband every other sentence. Why don’t we tie up that pretty boy as well? Maybe he can be of use.
Thinking of this, the guard had an idea and decided to tell his brothers about this idea to see if it was feasible. After all, their master only ordered to kidnap Zhao Xier.
So Zhao Xier, who was still howling inside, had no idea that because of her excessive concern, Gu Wenlang, who had already called the police to look for her and was currently waiting for news in an inn, had his window pried open in the middle of the night, then was knocked unconscious and abducted.
This scene happened to be seen by the brother who was arranged by Liu San to keep an eye on Gu Wenlang. He immediately followed quietly. After a few visits, he found out where Zhao Xier was imprisoned.
However, even though they found out the exact location, they did not rush in, but watched from a distance and sent someone back to the inn to inform the news.
"Found it?" Xia Mo looked at the burly man, slightly surprised. He thought the earliest he could find out would be tomorrow, but he didn't expect that they would receive the news in the middle of the night.
Being watched by the kind and petite master, Liu San was a little shy, "Well, we asked Ah Sheng to keep an eye on Gu Wenlang, maybe it would work, but we didn't expect that the gang actually came back, and then Ah Sheng quietly followed them."
"So that's what happened. You guys are really thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work." Xia Mo smiled at Liu San. Although he didn't know why those people didn't tie up Gu Wenlang at first, but now they tied him up again, but as Brother Chuan said, they will find out when the time comes.
Seeing his master smiling at him, Liu San also smiled innocently, "Haha, it's not hard at all, I just followed someone, the boss gave me a bonus."
Xia Mo was amused by his honesty and burst out laughing. He found that those who followed Brother Chuan seemed to be quite interesting.
Seeing the young man's smiling eyes, Ling Chuan took a deep look at the silly Liu San, pursed his lips, and then said: "Mo'er and I will go with you later. After we get there, you and them will retreat first."
