Chapter 1297: Chapter 405 Self-Rescue, Searching_3
Unfamiliar languages, unfamiliar intonations, it’s very difficult to differentiate after hearing them just once, and that’s precisely the situation Mo Yan and Xue tuanzi were in.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan concentrated on recalling what the couple had said that day. The accent did indeed have some similarities, "So, you’re saying that I don’t know them at all, then why would they kidnap me?"
If it really were for money, Jing City is full of wealthy people; compared to those tycoons and magnates, her family’s assets were nothing. Furthermore, these kidnappers were not from Great Chu; they hadn’t been in Jing City for long, yet they knew she would be visiting the Crown Prince’s Mansion to offer congratulations the day before yesterday and ambushed her on her way home, successfully capturing her.
Even if Mo Yan were confused, she knew these foreign kidnappers had come prepared, and even without understanding their language, she faintly guessed that their purpose was related to the group of foreign spies who had escaped from the Ministry of Justice’s Prison.
That group of spies had not been found to this day, and with Jing City under martial law, they couldn’t escape either. Since a brute force approach was unfeasible, they had to think of another method. If these kidnappers were really here to meet those spies, it would seem they held her in high regard; did they think that by kidnapping her, they could threaten Emperor Huian and force him to release them?
Or was it that... Thinking of another possibility, Mo Yan’s face changed, and she became even more determined to escape. He might not compromise with these kidnappers and help them release the spies for her sake, but he would definitely risk his life to save her without a second thought.
Whichever choice he made was something she did not wish to see.
"Yanyan, that guy is smarter than you and much more formidable. Neither outcome you’re thinking of will happen; rest assured!" Xue tuanzi consoled her master, evidently having full confidence in Xiao Ruiyuan.
Mo Yan, who had been anxious and tense, didn’t know whether to cry or laugh upon hearing this. In this guy’s eyes, was she really that inferior?
The footsteps of the two kidnappers were getting closer, and Mo Yan suddenly smelled a faint scent of meat, guessing that the two men were bringing her food.
"How come this girl hasn’t woken up yet? She’s not dead, is she?" The burly man who had come in with the roasted rabbit was worried. He handed the rabbit to his companion and took out a fire match stick from his bosom, bringing light to the dark cave instantly.
"It’s just a bump on the head, how fragile can she be?" His companion said while squatting down to check Mo Yan’s breath. Seeing she was still breathing, he proceeded to slap Mo Yan’s face, "Hey, wake up, wake up, come on, wake up."
The man slapped hard, making Mo Yan’s cheeks ache. Just as his hand was about to come down for a second slap, Mo Yan moaned and "woke" up. Seeing two unfamiliar men, she backed away in horror with a cry in her voice as she pitifully asked, "Who are you? Why did you capture me? Please let me go. I will give you a lot of silver."
"Tsk, tsk, women from Great Chu are indeed cowards; they should be ruled by our mighty Uto Kingdom!" The two burly men laughed grotesquely. Even if they couldn’t understand what Mo Yan was saying, her pitiful appearance was enough for them to guess she was begging for mercy.
This earnest plea did not arouse any compassion in the two men; however, it caused them to lower their guard, simply assuming she was a timid and weak woman.
Sensing their smugness, Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and eyed the rabbit leg with drooling anticipation, "I’m hungry, can I eat that?"
The man holding the rabbit leg noticed Mo Yan’s gaze and was not cruel to her. He intended to toss the leg to her, but realizing that her hands were tied and she couldn’t eat on her own, he shoved the rabbit leg into Mo Yan’s mouth instead, "What a hassle, having to serve you like this, hmph!"
The other man said, "Scared to this point and still not forgetting to eat, but it’s good that she can eat. If she starved to death, we’d be in deep trouble too."
The man feeding Mo Yan the rabbit leg grunted but looked somewhat gloomy.
A small rabbit leg couldn’t possibly fill her stomach; these people were purely treating Mo Yan as a human trafficking victim, making sure she didn’t starve to death. Mo Yan wasn’t hungry at all but pretended to eat the rabbit leg voraciously.
However, despite the rabbit leg’s savory aroma, it was indeed hard to swallow. After eating half of it, she couldn’t swallow anymore and continued to display her earlier acting skills, spitting out the rabbit meat she had in her mouth and lying on her back groaning with a pained expression.
"What’s going on?" Mo Yan’s unusual reaction startled the two burly men. If they hadn’t roasted the rabbit meat themselves, they would suspect it was poisoned.
