With those words, Zhang Zhengquan was left speechless.
He sighed, "Xiao Lin, you know I don’t an that. I’m just worried about you."
"If you’re really worried about , what you need to do now is not say these useless things to .
But find ways to help implent the plan.
For instance, check the situation in that compartnt, which small cabin has people awake?
Or, be ready to cover when I retreat. There are two kids, and it’s too conspicuous for to hold both alone.
Eventually, I’ll need you to hold one of the kids.
Rember this: keeping these two kids together as twins is valuable. Once separated, they’re not worth as much.
This is my only request of you. Can you do it?"
Looking at the stubborn Sun Xiaolian, Zhang Zhengquan was helpless.
He sighed and ultimately nodded.
"Fine, I’ll help you."
"This isn’t just helping ; it’s also helping you. We’ll split the money fifty-fifty."
After reminding Zhang Zhengquan twice, Sun Xiaolian began to pace around the compartnt.
The moonlit night deepened.
It was one or two a.m.
This is when everyone sleeps most soundly.
But Wen Ran was woken by a poke.
She opened her sleepy eyes to find Songzhu in front of her.
Its small black eyes were full of urgency.
Startled, Wen Ran quickly freed her mouth from Songzhu’s grip, then glanced sideways to see a straw being inserted under the door.
Smoke curled inside.
Wen Ran: "???"
Her sleepiness vanished instantly.
She held her breath, lifted Songzhu onto her shoulder, and stealthily got out of bed to investigate the smoke.
It was probably an anesthetic smoke, so Wen Ran took the opportunity to move the fresh air into a certain space.
The smoke blew for about half a minute and then stopped.
"Creak~"
In the silent night, the sound of the door opening was particularly noticeable.
The prolonged sound echoed out.
The door-opening action paused briefly, then Sun Xiaolian pushed even harder.
"You go."
Sun Xiaolian whispered, "I’ll go in first."
Oh?
Wen Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, finding the phrase "go in first" interesting.
There’s an accomplice.
She held her breath, and the instant Sun Xiaolian stepped in, Wen Ran punched her chest with lightning speed.
As Sun Xiaolian collapsed weakly, Xiao Chenye, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sprang up and tackled Zhang Zhengquan, who was attempting to abandon Sun Xiaolian and escape.
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
Sun Xiaolian had fainted.
Zhang Zhengquan didn’t escape, knocked out by a knife-hand strike from Xiao Chenye.
Dragging him back into the room, Wen Ran imdiately opened the compartnt door for ventilation.
"You’re okay? I thought you were knocked out too."
"No," Xiao Chenye replied concisely, "I used to dread situations like this, so I practiced with this stuff. Over ti, my body naturally developed a resistance."
That’s why, upon encountering the smoke, Xiao Chenye’s reaction was different.
He didn’t fall asleep deeper; instead, sothing was triggered in his body, making him instantly alert.
However, from where he was, he could see indistinct shadows outside.
If he acted rashly, he’d expose himself.
What Xiao Chenye didn’t expect was Wen Ran to be just as quick-witted in her reaction.
"You’re amazing," Xiao Chenye chuckled, "I didn’t even notice, and you reacted too."
Wen Ran: "..."
She laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit ashad, "Actually, it wasn’t ; it was Songzhu who reacted."
No sooner had she spoken than Songzhu, perched on Wen Ran’s shoulder, imdiately put its paws on its hips.
The chubby little head with barely any neck was raised high.
Ha!
That’s right!
Indeed!
It’s all thanks to .
Little bipeds, co and worship the Squirrel King!
Wen Ran was amused by Songzhu’s pride, "This little thing, I must say, it’s quite useful to have around.
It’s got a keen nose and probably sensed sothing was wrong, so it ca over and pinched awake."
Xiao Chenye leaned over, "Let see, did it bruise you?"
"No," Wen Ran averted her eyes slightly, "It knows its limits."
Seemingly not used to being this close in public, she changed the subject, "Go call soone, these two losers are not good people.
If they’re really child traffickers, we might catch their accomplices off guard."
Just after she said this, sothing soft touched her lips.
Wen Ran froze and, looking up, found herself breathing in sync with Xiao Chenye.
"I know, but there’s no need to be so shy," Xiao Chenye unexpectedly beca sowhat assertive at this mont, "We’ve been together for so long, and you’re still shy?"
Wen Ran hadn’t felt much before, but now she felt embarrassed by the banter.
"Enough, go find soone quickly!"
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Xiao Chenye got up to find soone, while Wen Ran imdiately dislocated Sun Xiaolian and Zhang Zhengquan’s ankles and arms.
That way, even if they woke up and wanted to run...
Haha, dream on!
Before Xiao Chenye returned with people, Wen Ran fetched so spring water and fed it to them one by one. Before long, when she called out to everyone, they began to respond.
"Mom," Wen Ran nudged Mrs. Xiao’s hand, and she woke up quickly, "How are you?"
Mrs. Xiao was puzzled, "Why did I sleep so deeply?"
"Soone tried to steal the kids..."
Before Wen Ran could finish, Mrs. Xiao was already shivering in fear.
"What?"
All drowsiness vanished as she frantically checked on the kids.
"It’s okay," Wen Ran reassured, "Xiao Chenye and I are here. How could we let anything happen to us all?"
In that mont, Mrs. Xiao’s heart rate probably spiked to 250.
Sitting down, she still felt her heart pounding.
Holding the child, as ti passed, everyone gradually woke up, allowing Mrs. Xiao to finally be at ease.
"Scared to death."
Looking carefully, one could still see Mrs. Xiao’s trembling hands.
"Don’t be afraid," Wen Ran comforted everyone, "It’s okay, Xiao Chenye went to get soone,."
Shen Yueyue rubbed her head, jumped down, and began to viciously abuse the two.
Punches and kicks.
No need to ntion Xiao Chenxing, who quickly joined in.
Even the usually calm Hongguo couldn’t suppress her pent-up anger at this mont.
She stepped up and added a few kicks.
The attendants quickly followed Xiao Chenye back.
Because the matter was serious, more than ten people ca, filling up the hallway.
"Are you okay?"
Wen Ran shook her head, "We’re fine."
Watching them take custody of the suspects, Wen Ran thought for a mont and reminded, "Yesterday, these two also interacted with a brother and sister in the next compartnt, who were also holding a child.
They ca over once before bed. I think maybe it’s better to check on them?"
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a chill run down their spines.
