Chapter 111: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 111: Successful Escape (Part 2)
With a knife pressed against his neck, Skinny guy dared not remain silent. He signaled for Mo Yan to remove the cloth ball from his mouth, then quickly spilled the beans about where the kidnapped children were kept.
After getting the information, Mo Yan put away the sword amidst the admiring gazes of the girls. "Later, follow the route I previously mentioned and run. If you're discovered, split into groups of four and run separately! Remember, once you're outside, find help as soon as possible to rescue those children."
"Sister Mo, what about you? Aren't you coming with us?" Liu Tinglan asked anxiously. After going through these days of hardship together, she had come to regard Mo Yan, who was one year younger but smart and strong, as her own sister.
Mo Yan was touched, but she shook her head and said, "You go first. I want to see if I can rescue the children. I'm worried that if you escape, it might alert the other kidnappers, and they might harm the children."
Liu Tinglan tightly held Mo Yan's hand and shook her head vigorously. "You can't rescue those children alone. Come with us. Once we escape, we'll immediately find someone to help them."
The others also joined in persuading her.
Mo Yan clasped Liu Tinglan's hand and reassured her, "Tinglan, I'll be fine. You and the others go quickly, or it might be too late."
Then she turned to the others and said, "Be careful. If you're caught and can't escape, don't resist to avoid angering them, understand?"
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Mo Yan, everyone reluctantly nodded and, with Liu Tinglan leading the way, reluctantly climbed the steps and left the dungeon.
After everyone had left, Mo Yan looked expressionlessly at Skinny guy lying on the ground. She really wanted to end him with one stroke, but she had never shed human blood before, so someone like him, whose hands were already dirty, should be dealt with by the authorities.
Liu Tinglan stared in horror as Mo Yan climbed the steps step by step. He knew that this grim reaper had murderous intentions toward him.
Holding the oil lamp, Mo Yan observed from the artificial mountain for a while. Seeing that everything was quiet around, it seemed that Liu Tinglan and the others hadn't alerted the kidnappers.
However, she relaxed too soon. Just as she was about to leave the artificial mountain to find the kidnapped children, there was a commotion in the front yard. Faintly, she heard someone shouting, "Quick, come out, they've escaped, they've escaped."
Mo Yan's heart skipped a beat. Gritting her teeth, she groped her way to a secluded courtyard and lit the house with the oil lamp...
"Let me go, let me go, you can't arrest me!"
Fat boss struggled against the two soldiers who had grabbed him and knelt on the ground. He never expected that he would have such a day.
"Don't move, behave yourself!"
A soldier punched Fat boss in the stomach. His face turned pale, and he dared not struggle anymore, glaring at them viciously.
Xiao Ruiyuan looked as cold as ice at the twenty kidnappers kneeling in two rows in front of him and said coldly, "Lock them up in the Military camp. I'll personally interrogate them."
To be able to obtain such a large mansion in the capital and dare to capture thirty people at the Lantern Festival, they couldn't be ordinary kidnappers. He wanted to see who was backing them up.
Fat boss, Yan Niang, and the others looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with suspicion and fear. If they were taken to the yamen, they could easily get away, but if they were taken away by this person full of killing intent, who didn't know their background and didn't buy their story, then what they had done over the years would be enough to warrant their deaths ten times over.
Thinking of this, one of them couldn't help but shout, "Sir, you can't arrest us. We have someone backing us. If you dare to arrest us, that person won't spare you."
Xiao Ruiyuan sneered coldly, as if mocking the kidnappers' naivety. With a wave of his hand, he didn't bother to say anything more.
The twenty kidnappers who were clamoring were taken away. The yard finally quieted down. Looking at the rescued women and children, Xiao Ruiyuan immediately saw a woman standing in the crowd, holding a crying child in her arms and comforting him softly.
As if sensing something, the woman looked up and met a pair of deep eyes. Somehow, her heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time they had met since Xiao Ruiyuan left without saying goodbye.
Just as Mo Yan thought this person would say something, he turned around and left. However, following beside him was a huge, muscular white wolf, which appeared suddenly like a silver lightning bolt and pounced toward Mo Yan!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Xiao Ruiyuan watched helplessly as the horrific scene was about to unfold, unable to stop it in time.
Amidst a chorus of terrified screams, Mo Yan was caught off guard and knocked down by the big white wolf. With the back of her head hitting the ground, her vision instantly went dark, and she fainted on the spot!
