Beisitian roughly figured out what kind of people the other party had brought, contemplating what special characteristics the adults among them might have—whether they were for diation or served so other purpose.
After the al, the other party quickly returned, and Beisitian had no choice but to lie back down on the bed, pretending to be unable to move.
Those people entered with incense, and upon slling it, Beisitian realized she could move.
The driver placed a paper package on the table and said, "Eat."
It was half a roast chicken.
Beisitian glanced at the half roast chicken but didn’t move. The driver ignored her, locked the door again, and left.
Beisitian waited quietly for a mont, and once she confird that the other party had truly left, she examined the powder and found no poison or anything harmful, which reassured her to start eating.
When you’re hungry, anything tastes delicious, especially this type of food with regional flair.
The night passed peacefully. As dawn broke the next day, before six o’clock, Beisitian was escorted into a car.
Another vehicle set off together, and Beisitian saw through the window a child and an adult walking out from the house.
The child appeared to be around five or six years old. The little boy looked very haggard, with a pale face, as if he had been excessively frightened.
The adult had his head bowed. Beisitian glanced over and imdiately found him very familiar, but with his head down, she couldn’t see clearly.
She expected not to see him once he got into the car, but as he boarded, he raised his head slightly. In that mont, Beisitian saw his face and was shocked.
Jiang Xin!
What was going on with Jiang Xin? Wasn’t he supposed to be on an Association mission with Jiang Mingzhong? Why was he here!
And if he was here, what happened to Jiang Mingzhong?
Beisitian slightly frowned because she had no contact with the outside world since arriving at this small village, so there was no news about Jiang Mingzhong and his son.
Jiang Xin looked equally haggard. For soone not even twenty years old, going through such experiences was truly unfathomable, causing him to look burdened, with his shoulders drooping heavily.
The two cars began moving, driving out of the mountains, which took them less than four hours before they finally reached a county town.
Upon reaching the town, the cars halted for a al break, as the others needed to eat.
Beisitian couldn’t see Jiang Xin’s situation; she also couldn’t pass ssages out now since her backpack was left in the village, with no satellite phone by her side.
Wei Zhongyuan and Hawkeye should have been following her. If she needed to contact them, she could leave a trace.
Entering the town, Beisitian noticed a third vehicle of the sa model!
After a brief pause, all three cars drove away one after another, heading to an unknown destination.
At this mont, Beisitian wasn’t anxious. She couldn’t let Jiang Xin be taken away for diation, nor could she watch those children die, so she had to rescue them at all costs.
However, her strength alone was still too weak. The opposing side comprised young and strong n, among them the Mystic Doctor; if they knew fighting talisman, she wouldn’t stand a chance against so many.
Beisitian observed calmly, thinking she should try to contact Jiang Xin if an opportunity arose.
Along the way, she wasn’t allowed to leave the car, and it wasn’t just her; others in the cars were also prohibited from exiting.
The als were all fast food, delivered to the car.
Looking outside, she guessed they were nearing Sui County, wondering where they would ultimately head; the journey wasn’t short at all!
By around four in the afternoon, the car finally stopped, and Beisitian looked outside to see they had arrived behind a hospital building.
All three vehicles entered through the backdoor and drove directly to an underground parking garage.
Beisitian felt slightly surprised; even hospitals in Beijing don’t necessarily have underground garages, most being ground-level parking lots.
This underground garage was built with a purpose.
As the vehicles descended, twisting round and round like rotating tops, Beisitian lost track of which level underground they were.
Why were so many things done underground? Did they think it was more secretive below the surface?
The car finally stopped steadily, and Beisitian saw nurous Jeep vehicles of the sa model parked below, counting seven or eight of them.
On one side stood a security door, but before Beisitian could take a closer look, the car door was opened.
"Get out," the guard rudely ordered.
Beisitian got out of the car and then saw Jiang Xin also disembarking, feeling a jolt. Wouldn’t Jiang Xin foolishly call out upon seeing her?
She felt this was highly likely, as Jiang Xin wouldn’t know she was undercover, perhaps believing she was captured too!
As Beisitian worried, Jiang Xin raised his head to look at her.
Beisitian sighed...
Originally thinking they wouldn’t be brought to the sa place, she was surprised it ended up this way. However, Beisitian had no choice; who knew Jiang Xin would be in the other party’s vehicle.
Then, Jiang Xin glanced at her and quickly diverted his gaze without lingering.
Beisitian was taken aback, suddenly rembering she had altered her appearance, and felt grateful to Elder Qiao!
The little boy beside Jiang Xin was terrified. Because he walked slowly, the guard behind them shoved him, prompting Jiang Xin to quickly grip the boy’s hand and move him forward to prevent being hit or kicked.
The boy tightly held Jiang Xin’s hand, showing a teary-eyed but scared-to-cry expression that elicited sympathy.
The trio was hustled into the security door, ascending a floor with stairs before entering another security door into a well-lit corridor.
The lights were bright white, not dim at all, completely masking the feel of being underground.
After they were brought there, instead of taking them to a blood extraction site, they were locked in a room together.
Beisitian understood why; the other party was likely preparing sothing extrely toxic, and before that, needed to conduct checks on them, feeding them nutritious substances to ensure they were physically ready, thus maximizing endurance under the toxic effects.
Every extra second endured under the toxins increases the blood’s effectiveness, which explains why Qing Yan prefers selecting kids with an exuberant spirit.
Such children generally have a higher tolerance for pain and endure much longer than ordinary kids.
Before this, they would be fed and receive regular check-ups, with sedatives administered beforehand to prevent strong struggles due to fear.
This group would resort to every possible thod to ensure the blood sources endure!
Once locking them together, the others left, and Beisitian looked towards Jiang Xin, who was secretly observing her too.
Beisitian stood up and walked to Jiang Xin’s side, whose face slightly darkened, watching Beisitian uncertainly, unsure of her intention.
Once Beisitian reached him, she softly called, "Jiang Xin!"
