The scar-faced kidnapper said menacingly, “That’s right, you’ve been kidnapped. From now on, you’d better behave yourselves and not make a sound. If you don’t listen, you’ll never see your mom and dad again.”
“Uncle, I’m keeping my mouth shut!” Hearing this, the little girl immediately stretched out her two chubby little hands to cover her mouth, her dark, round eyes darting about.
Her eyes were filled with sweet obedience and innocent curiosity—but not a trace of fear.
Only after the scar-faced kidnapper looked away did the little girl lower her chubby hands. Thinking she was speaking very quietly, she whispered to Shen Yan, “Yan Yan, we’ve been kidnapped! How cool is that!”
Scar-faced Kidnapper vs. Short Kidnapper: …
Do they even know what kidnapping is?
Could they really think this is just a game?
I wonder if all rich kids are this clueless?
But maybe it’s for the best. If these two little brats stay quiet and don’t cause a fuss, it’ll save them a lot of trouble.
Shen Yan reached out to cover her mouth.
But Jiang Xian pulled his hand away after just a moment.
The little girl stared at the scar-faced kidnapper in the driver’s seat for a while before asking, “Uncle, where are we going now? Are you going to lock us up?”
“Uncle, it’s so dark in the car. Why don’t you turn on the lights?”
“Uncle, I’m a little hot. Is the AC broken because you didn’t turn it on?”
“Uncle, your car is all broken up. Don’t you have money to buy a new one?”
“Uncle, you seem kind of pitiful!”
Whether he’d been pushed past his breaking point or not, the scar-faced kidnapper suddenly snapped, “Shut up! Say another word and I’ll cut out your tongue.”
Jiang Xian: …
This guy seems kind of scary.
Jiang Xian didn’t dare ask the scar-faced kidnapper any more questions, but after a brief moment of silence, she turned to the shorter kidnapper beside him and said, “Uncle, you gave me candy earlier. Can I give you some candy too?” ” With that, she pulled a super-sour lemon candy out of the little bag she was carrying and, while the man wasn’t looking, quickly shoved it into his mouth.
The short kidnapper’s face instantly contorted with the sourness.
“Uncle, this is my favorite candy. Isn’t it delicious?”
“Uncle, now that you’ve eaten my candy, we’re best friends. Let’s chat, okay?”
“Uncle, why don’t you have any scars on your face? You’re not cool at all!”
“Uncle, is it because you’re poor that you kidnap kids?”
“Uncle…”
“Boss, can you do something to shut this kid up?” The short kidnapper’s head was buzzing from the noise.
Most importantly, he felt personally offended.
The scar-faced man looked just as annoyed: “Alright, keep an eye on them. We’ll be there in a minute.”
The car drove for about an hour, and the whole time, Jiang Xian’s little mouth wouldn’t stop chattering.
She nearly drove both kidnappers to the brink of madness with her questions.
Finally, the car pulled up in front of an abandoned warehouse.
After getting out, Jiang Xian curiously looked around the old warehouse and said, “Wow, is this your secret base?”
No one answered her.
The scar-faced man glared at the two of them menacingly. “Do you know your parents’ phone numbers?”
Jiang Xian nodded her little head. “I have a great memory!”
“Listen up. Call your parents right now and ask for money.” He turned to the shorter kidnapper. “Give them the phone and tell them to bring thirty million to ransom you.”
“Th-that much?” The short kidnapper nearly dropped the phone.
The scar-faced man snapped impatiently, “Just do as I say.”
“O-okay!” The short kidnapper swallowed hard.
Goodness gracious, he’d never even handled thirty thousand yuan in his entire life. Thirty million? How much is that? If it were all cash, it would take him three days to count it, wouldn’t it?
The short kidnapper glanced back and forth between Jiang Xian and Shen Yan, then finally handed the phone to Jiang Xian.
This little girl was bold; she’d definitely be able to explain things clearly.
Unlike the other one, who was scared stiff and couldn’t even speak.
He hasn’t heard a single word out of that kid’s mouth since we got in the car.
On the other hand, that little girl hasn’t stopped talking the whole way—she must have been a sparrow in a past life.
Jiang Xian took the phone and tapped the screen a few times with her small hand: “Hello, is this 110? There are two bad uncles here playing a kidnapping game.”
Both kidnappers froze for a moment, then looked panicked.
The scar-faced kidnapper was the first to snap out of it. He slapped the shorter kidnapper on the forehead, then snatched the phone from Jiang Xian’s hand.
The scar-faced kidnapper was so furious he could have killed him on the spot. He glared at the short kidnapper and snarled, “You idiot! Who told you to give her the phone?”
The short kidnapper clutched his sore head, looking innocent and aggrieved. “But boss, didn’t you say to let them call their families?”
“Couldn’t you have gotten the number first, dialed it, and then let these two little brats talk?” The scar-faced kidnapper was so furious he wanted to kick the other guy. How had he ended up partnering with such an idiot?
The short kidnapper hung his head in apology. “Sorry, boss. I’ll definitely know better next time.”
And this idiot actually thinks there’ll be a next time.
“Boss, what do we do now?” the short kidnapper asked timidly.
The scar-faced kidnapper yanked Jiang Xian to his feet. “Stop wasting my time. Grab him and let’s move to a different location.” With that, he headed for the door.
“Got it!” The short kidnapper hurriedly grabbed Shen Yan and followed.
He shot a dark glance at Jiang Xian in the scar-faced kidnapper’s grip.
It was all that stinking brat’s fault he’d gotten yelled at by the boss.
The two kidnappers, each dragging a hostage, emerged from the warehouse and headed straight for the van parked at the entrance.
Just as they were about to get in, the shorter kidnapper suddenly stared straight ahead, his eyes wide.
“B-boss, there are cops.”
“Damn it, how did they get here so fast?” The scar-faced kidnapper frowned fiercely, then shot a suspicious glance at the two little ones.
“Did you two do this?”
“Uncle, what are you talking about?” The little girl feigned ignorance.
“When did you call the police?” The scar-faced kidnapper asked through gritted teeth, his face darkening.
It couldn’t have been just now—the police wouldn’t have arrived that quickly.
So it must have been on the way here.
Jiang Xian: “Uncle, you’re so slow. Of course it was right at the start of the game!”
The shorter kidnapper suddenly remembered something and pointed at Shen Yan in his grasp. “Boss, I’ve got it. There must be something wrong with this kid’s watch. I heard rich people buy their kids these smartwatches that can make calls, video chat, and track their location.”
Hearing this, the scar-faced kidnapper couldn’t help but kick the other guy hard: “You idiot, why didn’t you say that sooner?”
The short kidnapper shrank his neck and said, “I—I just forgot for a moment.”
It wasn’t his first time doing this; he just lacked experience!
He’d definitely figure it out next time!
The short kidnapper didn’t forget to show his loyalty: “Boss, don’t be mad. Next time, I’ll definitely remember to remind you in advance.”
