Chapter 204: Kidnapped
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liao Ning had been quite busy with her work lately. In addition to managing the hotel and hosting live-streams, she also had to provide content for a
magazine occasionally. Despite the busy schedule, she found fulfillment in her work. However, she still longed for moments of relaxation and occasional slacking off.
Today was the opening day of the elementary school, and Zhou Ling couldn’t attend due to being overseas. So, Liao Ning took on the responsibility of representing the parents of their two children.
As soon as she arrived at the school, many parents recognized her.
“Is that Liao Ning? Is it really her?”
“Oh my goodness! The little ones are in the same school as my niece. They’re such talented kids, aged five and three!”
“This family is so good-looking! I envy their genes!”
“Why does she look even prettier in person than in her videos? Don’t live-streams use beauty filters?”
“You can tell at a glance that you’re not a hardcore fan. Liao Ning never uses beauty filters during her live-streams. She only takes photos with her original camera.”
Some parents and teachers even approached her for photos and autographs. As she made her way through, Liao Ning felt her face starting to ache from smiling.
Meanwhile, Liao Nai and Mili looked proud. They felt lucky to have such an amazing aunt. They felt that they were benefiting from her popularity.
Finally, finding an excuse to visit the restroom, Liao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
It was true what they said about being afraid of fame. It was no wonder that celebrities had more than ten bodyguards even before the apocalypse.
“Hello, are you the live-streamer of My Child Is The Best? I’m a big fan of yours!”
Hearing a muffled female voice, Liao Ning couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. However, she maintained a smile and turned around. “Hello, it’s me. Would you like a photo or an autograph?”
Liao Ning was about to continue posing for photos when suddenly, the other person pulled out a spray and sprayed it on her face. The substance caused her to lose consciousness.
When she finally regained consciousness, she found herself tied up inside a small aircraft.
“Yes, we have him in custody. We’re heading back now, ” the woman who had sprayed her said, speaking to someone on a communication device. Liao Ning kept her eyes narrowed and feigned unconsciousness.
The woman finished her report and switched off the communication device. She turned to Liao Ning and said, “There’s no need to pretend. I know you’re awake. Would you like some water?”
Liao Ning contemplated continuing to feign unconsciousness, but the woman spoke again. “I’m also half mermaid, so my senses are quite keen. There’s no need for you to keep pretending.”
Upon hearing this, Liao Ning opened her eyes. ‘Who are you? Why have you kidnapped me?”
The woman adjusted the aircraft’s course and walked closer. “I am a member of the rebel army against the empire. My name is Tina. I need your help this time.”
“Is this your idea of extending an invitation?” Liao Ning grumbled, shifting her legs uncomfortably. Her legs and feet were tightly bound.
“I apologize,” Tina said with a slight bow. “Once we reach our destination, I will untie you. Please rest for now.”
Having said that, Tina returned to her driver’s seat without looking back, occasionally offering Liao Ning some water.
No matter how many questions Liao Ning asked, Tina remained tight-lipped.
After an unknown period of time, Liao Ning started to feel drowsy. Suddenly, the aircraft began to shake, and she peered out the window.
There were numerous nebulae surrounding them, their vibrant colors creating a mesmerizing display. These nebulae were vastly different from those found in interstellar space.
However, Liao Ning couldn’t find it in herself to appreciate the beauty of the scene at that moment.
“Is this the Empire?” she inquired.
Tina’s revelation that they were on Planet Golden Rice left Liao Ning astonished. Wasn’t this the same planet where the system had mentioned Zhou Ling’s brother and sister-in-law?
Just as she was processing this information, a notification from the system popped up.
[Ding! System prompt: Hidden mission triggered. Mission objective: Successfully contact Zhou Ye and his wife. Mission rewards: 100 system points and 500,000 star coins. Bonus rewards: 1,000 system points and 1,000,000 star coins. Antidote formula for the loyalty potion obtained.]
The sound of the system’s voice, coupled with the enticing rewards displayed, sent Liao Ning’s heart racing.
She never expected to be kidnapped and stumble upon a hidden mission. If she could obtain the antidote formula, it meant she might have a chance to help the controlled mermaids.
As Liao Ning looked at the impassive Tina, a sudden idea sparked in her mind..
