Chapter 418: Chapter 414: Kidnapping & Underhanded Tricks
"Stick to the plan."
Someone nudged Wen Ran, then reached out towards her chest.
Wen Ran: "?"
Damn it.
Just wait, once she escapes with those two airheads.
Neither this guy nor that guy will get away, they’ll leave their claws behind for her.
She couldn’t open her eyes, could only hear rustling sounds around her, with the thick scent of blood lingering at her nose.
"Mmmm~"
"Rumble~"
The sound of the train entering the station.
"Alright, begin the operation."
Wen Ran felt a slight pang in her chest, and then a face full of the stench of blood.
They must have splashed something on her.
The group, ready to set off, held Wen Ran in their arms.
She let her limbs hang naturally.
The train, stopped.
The crowd boarding and alighting, bustling like a tidal wave.
The door, swooshed open.
"Ahhh! Help!"
The woman with the bob haircut instantly began acting, "Make way! My sister, my father."
Seeing the glaring knife stuck in Wen Ran’s chest, and thick, sticky blood spreading in front, the crowd was dumbfounded.
The accompanying train police were startled, instinctively wanting to approach and see what was happening.
The bob-haired woman shouted, "There’s a murder, someone’s wielding a knife killing people."
They rushed to the train door first, behind them, hearing about the knifeman killing, the crowd was silent for a moment, then burst out.
The scene immediately became chaotic.
Wen Ran lay in someone’s arms, feeling the warm body, damn it, they actually have some brains.
It’s just that at a crowded place like the train station, spreading such falsehoods can easily lead to stampedes.
And when stampedes occur, they bring bloody lessons.
Costing several lives...
Wen Ran’s anger kept rising.
She even regretted not overpowering that fool Xiao Quan earlier.
If she had done it then, surely, it wouldn’t have led to all this nonsense.
But now, it’s too late to say anything.
They entered the crowd, stopped spreading, like fish swimming into the ocean, quickly dispersed.
In less than half an hour, Wen Ran reunited with Mr. Gu Sr. and Cai Xiaowen.
The three of them were tied up, gagged, placed in an ox cart covered with firewood, thoroughly hidden.
"Hahaha," a voice came from nearby, "I have to say, Xiao Yu’s idea works.
We escape and stir up some trouble for them."
"Hmph, that’s right," the bob-haired woman said gloomily, "My seventh brother died a horrible death, this is, in a way, avenging him."
"Alright," the man next to her comforted, "What’s past is past.
We’ve avenged, this round can be considered over.
I know you’re heartbroken for your seventh brother, but we can’t live revolving around the dead.
The dead are gone.
The living still have to continue."
Wen Ran listened to these comforting words and felt like rolling her eyes to the sky, damn it, so full of yourself, turning it into something therapeutic.
Does it matter who’s dead or alive?
In the end, just send them all down, reunite the whole family.
Then no one has to miss anyone.
"You’re right," Xiao Yu sighed, "Let’s not talk about that. Today, we captured Gu Chenghuai, this old thing, can it really open the tomb?"
"Of course, Gu Chenghuai, the old man, may seem unreliable, but he’s very skilled."
"That’s good," Xiao Yu sighed, "If it weren’t for the recent heavy crackdown, I wouldn’t really want to leave this line of work."
"Xiao Yu, it’s enough, living on the edge isn’t easy. There’s always a sense of uncertainty about the next meal after this one.
This job is huge, once we complete it, forget about us not worrying about food and drink our whole lives, even the next three, five generations can live in comfort."
With that, everyone’s face showed longing.
"Alright," Xiao Yu took a deep breath, "Brother Chai, I’ll follow your lead, we’ll finish this job then eliminate these three as witnesses.
Figure out a way to get out, life isn’t good here.
Let’s go outside where apparently, they eat differently than us.
They don’t even glance at steamed cornbread, instead, they have milk, bread, steak."
"Yeah, yeah..."
The ox cart swayed, bringing the three to a deep mountain forest.
Somewhere.
A wolf with fur matted lifted its head abruptly and howled.
The pack stopped immediately; the wolf walked over to a dog, began howling.
The dog sniffed around, its big eyes sparkling.
"Woof woof woof~"
...
After walking for who knows how long, Wen Ran felt her bones were going to fall apart.
Looking at Mr. Gu Sr. laying between two people, with soft straw specially laid underneath, Wen Ran wanted to curse.
Damn, if it’s a kidnapping, do it right; don’t treat them differently.
However, noticing Cai Xiaowen didn’t have straw underneath either, her heart weirdly calmed down.
Hmm, as long as there’s company, it’s fine.
The ox cart slowly stopped.
The firewood on top was removed, light shone through, Wen Ran squinted, spotting the short-haired, bob-haired woman.
The one called Xiao Yu.
"Yo," seeing Wen Ran squinting, gradually adjusting to the light, Xiao Yu laughed, "This little girl actually has some skills, already awake."
Wen Ran adjusted almost completely, blinked, looked at Xiao Yu, her voice a bit hoarse, "Got any water?"
Seeing her calm, not crying or fussing, Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, had a slightly higher opinion of Wen Ran.
She turned, "Da Niu, give this little girl some water."
The waterskin was pushed in front, looking at the dirty stains on it.
Wen Ran was silent for a moment, slowly turned her face away, disdainful, "You’re really not picky, drinking from such a dirty thing?"
"You..."
Da Niu was about to get angry.
Xiao Yu stopped him, "Da Niu!"
Warning Da Niu with a look, Xiao Yu turned, wasn’t offended at all, "Don’t mind, I know you’re a college student, like to be clean.
But we’re on the run, living rough and exposed to the elements, definitely can’t be so particular."
She ordered the firewood removed, gradually exposing Mr. Gu Sr. and Cai Xiaowen.
The three were tightly bound; abandoning the ox cart, the group grabbed the ox and the two, kept heading up the mountain.
Indeed.
Since Wen Ran woke up, she didn’t get carried up the mountain anymore.
Those bastards untied the rope binding her legs, tied her upper body, and led her along.
Wen Ran: "..."
Sensing Xiao Yu’s gaze on her, Wen Ran murmured, "Should’ve known not to wake up so soon."
Xiao Yu suddenly laughed.
Not sure why, but she suddenly found this little girl especially appealing.
Interesting, really interesting...
