Chapter 98 Backstage

  Song Jie and Zhang Yang were lifted off the car like little chicks, Song Jie looked up and saw a place that seemed to be a warehouse in front of her.

  This place is very desolate, with only a concrete wall around it, looking sealed off. It's probably not easy to find such a secluded spot, maybe even in the suburbs, after all, it's so far away.

  The driver got out of the car, raised his hand and knocked three times on the big door. There was still a password! All that could be heard was a string of "rattling" sounds, and the door was pushed open from inside.

  A head cautiously poked out, and upon seeing a familiar face, quickly opened the door wide to let this group of people in.

  "What's going on, Skinny Monkey? How did you bring back two cubs? Didn't the boss just tell us to catch one?" a scar-faced man asked in puzzlement.

  The thin monkey let someone throw the two little brats to the ground, sighed and said: "They are all together, who has the energy to think so much, it's better to make a mistake than to expose our tracks."

  Others nodded in agreement, without a word. The boss wasn't around, so no one else dared to speak up. Quickly, they used tape to cover the mouths of the two children and bound their hands behind their backs. Only then did Skinny Monkey let out a sigh of relief.

  There was a space of over 300 square meters, empty in the middle with only one table and several chairs. On the table were several bottles of beer and some peanuts and other cold dishes, all over the table, Song Jie guessed that they were leftovers from lunch.

  Apart from the scar-faced man and the thin monkey, there was also a driver and a bald-headed man. There were only four adults in the house. The thin monkey and his companions didn't eat dinner, they just started eating with leftover dishes and beer. Song Jie and Zhang Yang were forgotten in the corner.

  A rumbling sound came from beside "Gulu", Song Jie turned her head and saw that it was Xiaopang's stomach growling.

  At this time, Little Fatty's mouth was blocked, and his small eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, but he still stubbornly didn't shed a tear.

  Song Jie sighed silently, thinking that the child was in trouble and hoped he wouldn't leave any psychological shadows behind. She nudged Little Pangzi's body with her shoulder and conveyed a fearless gaze to him, telling him not to be afraid.

  Zhang Yang saw Song Jie so calm and composed, his heart suddenly felt much more at ease. In his mind, Song Jie was extremely formidable; she wasn't even afraid, and as a man, he shouldn't be either.

  He immediately looked down at his "growling" stomach and felt a sense of despair, really so hungry!!

  Those kidnappers were drinking and chatting. They talked about topics unrelated to the kidnapping, it was clear that they were very cautious. Between the lines, it could be seen that there was another big boss, but he was not here for the time being.

  Song Jie thought, Uncle Zhang was probably already aware that they had been kidnapped, and his heart didn't know how to worry.

  Zhang Fu was naturally anxious, so he used his power to report the incident directly to the police. The police attached great importance to this matter. At this time, the kidnapper had not called yet, but if it was about ransom, they would definitely contact their own people.

  There aren't surveillance cameras everywhere yet. Nor are there so many high-tech anti-tracking measures, so the police still have a good grasp on solving cases.

  The police also came to a definite conclusion after understanding the entire incident, as long as the thing was not sent out, the child would definitely be safe, and there was still time to deploy everything.

  Time passed minute by minute, and Song Jie's stomach growled with hunger, calling out loudly. If only he had known that cultivating immortality was good, the elixir of immortality wouldn't be just a handful, why would he still starve?

  The thin monkey still had a bit of conscience. He let the full Knife Scar go feed the two kids something to eat. These were all chips, and if they starved, it would be terrible.

  Dào bāo bù qíng bù yuàn de zǒu dào xiǎo pàng zi gēn qián, suí shǒu bǎ jiāo diàn sī le xià lái, téng de xiǎo pàng zi "āi yū" de jiào le yī shēng.

  "Chī" The scar-faced man handed a steamed bun to Little Fatty and said sternly.

  The little fatty still had some backbone, turned his head and hummed "Hmph, I'm not eating".

  "Alas! Some people can't even afford a mantou (steamed bun), and you're being picky, refusing to eat? Forget it!"

  Dào bāo zhuǎn tóu bǎ Sòng jié de jiāo dài yě sī le xià lái, Sòng jié zhè cái zhī dào shì zhēn de hěn téng ā, zì jǐ zài yě bù àn àn bǐ xí xiǎo pàng zi le……

  "Aren't you going to eat? If not, it'll be a waste!" Dao Ba said with a glare at Song Jie.

  "Uncle, can you let go of my hand? I can eat by myself. I won't run away." The big eyes of the lovely little girl were full of pleading.

  "Hmm..." Scar hadn't expected this kid to be so bold, he was indecisive. He turned his head towards Skinny Monkey.

  The thin monkey was drinking happily, his face was all red, he casually waved his hand: "Okay, but be careful." Then he continued to drink with others.

  Song Jie finally got her hands freed from the activity, she took over the mantou and looked at Xiao Pangzi, who was indeed swallowing saliva while staring at the mantou in his hand.

  That sentence he just said was probably the most courageous thing he's ever said, considering how a single lollipop had turned him against Song Jie in the past, poor kid!!

  Song Jie sat on the ground, broke off a small piece of steamed bun from her hand and handed it to Xiao Pangzi. Xiao Pangzi was indeed starving, he swallowed it without even chewing, and choked until his eyes rolled back.

  Song Jie hastily patted his back "eat slowly", she turned her head to look at Dāo Bā with a pitiful expression: "Uncle, untie Yangyang's hands too, he won't run away either."

  Dào bāo this time didn't even look at others, muttered a sentence; "Afraid of you guys." Then he also untied Xiao Pàngzi's hand.

  Song Jie gave half of the steamed bun to Little Fatty, who took it and stuffed it into his mouth. In just a few bites, he swallowed it down. The steamed buns were actually cold and had become a bit hard, but Little Fatty didn't show any dislike for them at all and ate them anyway.

  The scar looked at the two people who had eaten, and his task was also completed. Too lazy to tie them up again, he got up and followed a piece to drink and play fist.

  Song Jie saw Knife Scar leave, and from her pocket, actually from the space, she took out a piece of chocolate that Zhao Tong had brought for her when he went to the south.

  Hand the chocolate to Little Fatty, Little Fatty had eaten half a bun and was not so hungry anymore. He hesitated to take over the chocolate and said to Song Jie: "You eat it, I'm not hungry!" After finishing speaking, he pushed the chocolate in front of Song Jie and turned his head away, indicating that he really didn't want to eat.

  Song Jie was quite moved, "Sister, it wasn't a waste of effort taking care of you," "Alright, go eat, I still have some."

  "Really?" The little fatty looked at Song Jie's flat pocket with some disbelief and asked.

  "Of course." Song Jie magically pulled out another chocolate from her flat pocket and waved it in front of Little Fatty's eyes.

  Xiao Pangzi finally felt at ease and swallowed the chocolate, while Song Jie also forced down the steamed bun in her hand with difficulty.

  Song Jie ate while observing the situation next to her. The kidnappers were drinking enthusiastically, but they were very vigilant and would occasionally glance over at her.

  "Song Jie, I'm scared." The little fatty said in a low voice after eating his fill and leaning against Song Jie.

  Xiao Pangzi is only eleven years old now, still a child. Song Jie whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you forgot, I wasn't even afraid when we robbed them back then. Tonight, I'll take you and escape."

  "Hmm" If I had to say who Little Fatty trusts the most besides his parents, it would have to be Song Jie. Moreover, Song Jie never lies to himself and always keeps his promises.

  The two little ones were comforting each other when the door was knocked three times again.

  "It's the big boss!" Several people exchanged a glance and swapped information.

  This time it was Skinny Monkey who rushed to the front and opened the door. The gate opened and a person walked in.

  Several subordinates stood up and shouted at him: "Boss."

  Song Jie raised her head, but due to the backlight, she couldn't see the person's face clearly. It wasn't until the door closed that Song Jie saw him clearly - he had an ordinary appearance, with a pair of triangular eyes that added a hint of ferocity, making his entire demeanor sharp and fierce.

  The boss looked at the two children in the corner, and his triangular eyes stared at Skinny Monkey. Skinny Monkey was quick-witted and hurried forward to bow down and say: "The two children were together at that time, and they were tied up together. Just now, I let the child eat, so I untied them, and before that, they were always tied up."

  "Hmm, you guys keep a close eye on me, if I run away, see how I'll deal with you."

  "Yes, yes, yes," several people hastily replied.

  At this time, Xiao Pangzi tightly hugged Song Jie's arm and didn't dare look forward anymore.

  The old man walked up to the two of them, straightened Xiao Pangzi's face and said with a sly smile: "Xiao Pangzi, wait for your dad to bring something to exchange for you, then you can go home. Before that, be good for me, do you know?"

  "Wow~~" The little fatty was so scared that he started crying, leaving the old man with a handful of tears and snot.

  The boss looked up and raised his hand to slap the little fatty, Song Jie quickly hugged the little fatty in her arms and covered his mouth.

  "Hmph" The old man raised his left hand and wiped his right hand a few times, glaring fiercely at Song Jie before walking to the table.

  The table had been cleaned up long ago, and it was unknown who still used a cup to put a cup of hot water on the table.

  "Boss, when will Zhang's family send someone over?" Skinny Monkey asked.

  "Wait a minute, I'll call later, can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what's the rush!"

  "Great leader is wise!" Others quickly raised their thumbs and flattered.

  The boss asked about today's actions and didn't put his heart at ease until he made sure there were no mistakes. In their conversation, they also mentioned the words "Xie family", Song Jie's ears perked up high, listening carefully.

  Through investigation, Song Jie learned that this matter was related to the Xie family in Beijing and might be an enemy of the Zhang family. She didn't know much about the aristocratic families in Beijing, only understanding a few words and phrases.

  Although it was just a few words, Song Jie could roughly guess that it was the formula for Red Eye, and if they were friends, they would not use such a confrontational approach.

  Since she had gotten the answer she wanted, Song Jie decided to make a run for it that night. By the time the police found her, the cucumber dish would be cold, and she'd have to rely on herself anyway.
