Unfortunately, Lin Yue not only went over, but the kidnappers also tied her up together with Xie Yan Si.
Xie Yan Si struggled incessantly, mumbling nonstop, desperately trying to express something.
The kidnappers were unfazed: “Don’t bother struggling. We’ll let you go once your family brings the ransom.”
Xie Yan Si was still mumbling—that wasn’t what he wanted to say!
With a cloth stuffed in his mouth, the kidnappers couldn’t understand him and didn’t bother trying, but Lin Yue understood.
Xie Yan Si said: I’ll pay extra! Don’t tie me up with her!
Lin Yue hadn’t expected that the little biscuit would leave such a strong aftereffect on Xie Yan Si.
It seemed her goal had been achieved. Now, to solidify her image a bit more, so that Xie Yan Si would likely avoid her in the future.
As she was thinking this, Lin Yue overheard the two kidnappers discussing nearby.
“The girl’s ransom is 100,000, the boy’s is 1 million.”
Lin Yue: “?”
Gender discrimination? Or favoritism toward boys?
Why was Xie Yan Si’s ransom higher than hers?
She hated using money to measure superiority or inferiority.
On the way over, Lin Yue had observed these two men—one disabled, the other weak.
To sum them up in one sentence: physically underdeveloped and mentally simple.
Then again, if they weren’t mentally simple, they wouldn’t have dared to kidnap Xie Yan Si and her.
But kidnapping was one thing—discrimination was another.
And Lin Yue wasn’t having it.
So, this kidnapping was over.
Lin Yue freed her hands from the rope in a few swift moves, then twisted her neck and flexed her fingers.
The crisp cracking sounds reached Xie Yan Si’s ears, sending shivers down his spine.
Xie Yan Si stared blankly at Lin Yue, his legs trembling slightly. What was Big-Mouth Monster planning to do?
Then he saw Lin Yue’s small body charge forward, lift her leg, and execute a backflip, kicking one kidnapper squarely in the jaw.
The kidnapper was stunned for a moment, and then a powerful little fist landed on his stomach, sending the man stumbling backward and vomiting his dinner.
Lin Yue then shot a sidelong glance, extended her foot, and mercilessly kicked the other man in the crotch. The man clutched his groin, howling in pain.
Lin Yue followed up with a split kick to the man’s back, forcing the limping kidnapper into an intimate embrace with Mother Earth.
The man was in too much pain to stand. Lin Yue walked over and crouched down.
Her small fingers pinched the thin man’s chin and lifted it, forcing him to look up.
When the man met the little girl’s gaze, he trembled.
The innocence and purity in her eyes were gone, replaced only by sharpness and ferocity.
Lin Yue stared at him unblinkingly and asked softly, “Do you still think my ransom is only worth 100,000?”
The thin man swallowed hard, unable to utter a sound under the girl’s intimidating presence.
Tied to the chair, Xie Yan Si watched this scene, stunned and speechless.
—Indeed, she was even more terrifying than the kidnappers!!
But why did he see a pair of angel wings sprouting from Big-Mouth Monster’s back?!
And they were blindingly bright!
Just then, the sound of police sirens echoed from outside, and red and blue flashing lights shone through the window.
Lin Yue suddenly remembered that when she was kidnapped, she had pressed the emergency call button on her phone watch. By her estimate, the rescue team should have arrived by now.
Her parents had specially spent money to assemble this team for her—better safe than sorry. They had a unique, unparalleled affection for her.
In her previous life, even her sister hadn’t received such treatment.
Lin Yue stood up and clapped her hands clean. Turning around, she saw Xie Yan Si cowering on the stool, utterly terrified.
After all, he’s just a little brat who’s never seen this kind of scene before.
Fine, considering he gave her those teddy bear cookies, she’ll be generous this once.
She walked over and helped Xie Yan Si untie the ropes.
“Alright, don’t be scared.” Lin Yue comforted the little brat. “They won’t be getting up.”
Xie Yan Si sat on the stool, staring blankly at Lin Yue.
After all these years, his little fairy seemed to have returned!
Even more dazzling and radiant than before!
Suddenly, the teddy bear cookies that had been eaten didn’t seem so important anymore.
Lin Yue ruffled his hair. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to find your mom.”
After saying this, Lin Yue turned and walked outside.
Xie Yan Si watched her thin, small back for a few seconds before quickly catching up. Suddenly, he spoke softly, “Thank you.”
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, surprised that the young Xie Yan Si was so polite.
Ah, why is it that he was so well-behaved as a child but ended up… damaged when he grew up?
Lin Yue couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to dwell on the memories.
She ruffled his hair again. “Don’t thank me. You should thank your teddy bear cookies.”
Xie Yan Si looked at her profile and murmured, “Teddy bear cookies?”
“Then… in the future,” Xie Yan Si said somewhat shyly, lowering his eyes and fidgeting with his fingers, “I’ll bring you more.”
He quickly added, “Even if they’re all eaten, it’s okay.”
