"Hey, wake me up!"

"Why can't you wake up for so long!"

There was a hot pain on her face, Yao Zhixia regained consciousness, she opened her eyes, and found that she was in a dense forest, and there were three men standing in front of her, the first one was squatting in front of her to observe her.

Yao Zhixia immediately struggled to get up, but she realized that she had been tightly tied with a hemp rope and her hands were tied behind her back.

"What are you going to do?" Yao Zhixia instinctively leaned against the big stone behind him.

"What are we going to do when you say you're like this?"

The man at the head smiled sinisterly, then took out a knife from his pocket, pulled out the knife sleeve, and dangled it in front of Yao Zhixia's eyes.

"Yao Zhixia!"

A sharp voice suddenly came from behind Yao Zhixia, she wanted to turn around but couldn't move, the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

The sound of the grass being trampled came from far and near, and a figure slowly swayed in front of Yao Zhixia.

"Do you still know me? Miss Yao, who presides over justice!"

Yao Zhixia stared at the woman standing in front of him for a long time, first frowned suspiciously, and then suddenly widened his eyes, "Are you...... The child's mother?"

The woman in front of her was dressed in black, but she was unrecognizable at first glance, but Yao Zhixia remembered those arrogant and utilitarian eyes, she was the nouveau riche wife who had an unpleasant relationship with her at the Island A Hotel before.

"Oh, it's not easy, you remember a person like me who has no money and no power?" the woman crossed her arms and looked at Yao Zhixia condescendingly.

"What are you kidnapping me for? Your husband has already been sentenced for intentional injury, do you want to add another degree to the crime now?"

After Yao Zhixia returned to City A, she was notified by the police that the upstart who tried to beat her while drunk had been sentenced for intentional injury.

When she learned the news, Yao Zhixia was only worried about the child, thinking that after this catastrophe, this woman would live honestly with the child, but she didn't expect that this woman would find someone to kidnap her.

"You still remember that you put my ex-husband in prison! Just because of your troubles, not only did he make his company go bankrupt, but also cut off my only source of livelihood, I should have lived a first-class life! But all this was ruined by you!"

The woman was angry, and then slapped her hard, Yao Zhixia was so slapped by this slap that her ears buzzed, and the waves of tingling sensation on her cheeks almost made her faint.

Syllable!

Another heavy slap, Yao Zhixia supported her upper body, and a bloody smell appeared in her mouth, and she swallowed it forcibly.

"What are you going to do, do you want money, or do you want your life?" Yao Zhixia bit her lip and raised her eyes to stare at the woman.

The woman was a little surprised to see Yao Zhixia's reaction, "Ha! I didn't expect you to be really not a simple person, and you are still here to be strong for me when you are dying?"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense with her, this place is not far enough from the trail, and the people who walked with her should also find out that she is missing by now, we have to transfer her to our base camp first, and then contact the one named Xue Rin." ”

After the man in charge finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned to the other two men to set Yao Zhixia up, but Yao Zhixia immediately became uncalm when he heard Xue Rin's name.

"What are you looking for Xue Rin, and what does this have to do with him?"

Yao Zhixia nervously questioned the man who spoke, but when she saw the black mole on the side of the man's mouth, she suddenly realized that he was the person who was accidentally bumped into by him before, it turned out that he had been following him near her from the beginning, and all this was premeditated.

"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment. ”

The man said and took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and shook it proudly in front of Yao Zhixia's eyes, "Speaking of which, thank you for helping us unlock the fingerprint lock!"

Yao Zhixia was about to open his mouth to ask, but was gagged by two other men with a dirty towel, and then forcibly dragged him deeper into the forest.

There was not a single figure to be seen along the way, except for the occasional birdsong, and since no one had set foot in the area all year round, the weeds under their feet were so thick that they were ankle-length.

Yao Zhixia knew that she had absolutely no chance to escape, so she decided to look at the situation before making plans, she secretly increased her pace, trying to secretly leave a walking trail on the grass, and the two men next to her didn't seem to have much experience in kidnapping, they all cared about finding the way, and didn't notice her small movements at all.

Not long after walking, Yao Zhixia was taken to an open area, surrounded by towering trees, but the ground was indeed bare, there was a burning fire in the center of the clearing, some beer bottles and food packaging bags were scattered around, and there was even a simple tent next to the fire, Yao Zhixia was shocked, it seemed that they had been living in this forest for a long time.

The two men who were holding her pinned her to the ground, and then took out a hemp rope to tie her feet, and the woman pulled a cushion out of the tent, patted the dust on it, and sat down awkwardly.

And the man who called her "sister" kept holding Yao Zhixia's mobile phone and typing something, and kept pacing back and forth with the mobile phone after typing.

"Damn, the signal here is so bad, it took half a day to send it out. ”

"Brother, tell this Miss Yao about our plan! This place is dirty, and I am so tired from walking that I don't want to waste any more time. The woman patted the dust on her clothes impatiently.

The man put the phone back in his pocket, walked up to Yao Zhixia and said: "Actually, you can be regarded as hitting the muzzle of the gun, I just got out of prison recently, and my money is a little tight, so I came to Star Destination Island to try my luck, who knew that my clever sister would see you and that Xue Rin on the dock, and she complained to me as soon as she saw me!

Hearing this, Yao Zhixia also figured out their intentions, "If you want to find me, you can find me alone, what does it have to do with Xue Rin?"

"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid with me!" the woman asked Yao Zhixia angrily.

"The night my ex-husband and I were kicked out of the resort, he kept blaming me for everything, drinking and going crazy and beating me, and finally I kicked him out, who knows, the police station called me in the middle of the night and asked me to cooperate with the investigation, the assistant who has been following Xue Rin doesn't care about my pleas at all, and he won't let my ex-husband go, my ex-husband was beaten beyond recognition by that damn Xue Rin, and he has to go to jail, do you say it has anything to do with him?"

Yao Zhixia was shocked and couldn't say a word, it turned out that that night, the black shadow who saved her was Xue Rin.

"I've seen early on that you have a leg with that Xue Rin, otherwise how could he be so unrelenting and refuse to let us go, and have to force us to a dead end?"

"Xue Rin is just here for a vacation, I'm here for work, we have nothing to do with each other, it's useless for you to tie me up!" Faintly feeling that these people would use themselves to blackmail Xue Rin, Yao Zhixia immediately cleared up the relationship.

"I don't think so, I followed you all the way just now, that Xue Rin has been staring at you behind you, you can deny your relationship, but I have just conveyed the news of your kidnapping to the team leader Manager Liu, I think soon your Xue Rin will know about it, and then willingly accept our deal." ”

"Deal, you want a ransom?"

A hint of amusement flashed in the man's eyes, "It's worthy of a learned translator! He's a smart man! Our brother took a long time to invite you over, so naturally he needs that rich second generation to put a little blood! Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, we promise not to tear up the ticket!"

Yao Zhixia nodded slightly, thinking about how to get out.

----

"Brother Rin, I received a message from the police that Sister Zhixia is missing, and I am driving to the forest oxygen bar now!

Xue Rin was carefully discerning the grass that had been trampled down in the forest, holding a scarf that had been worn around Yao Zhixia's neck before.

"It's not there yet, but Manager Liu called me just now, she was kidnapped, this gang wants a ransom of 10 million, the location is notified, you contact Aunt Qi, let her help prepare the money, you meet with the police and tell them that the kidnappers have moved to the southeast of the cave." ”

"How do you know where they've gone?"

Xue Rin stopped in front of a rock, "I'm following them. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xue Rin kept observing the surroundings of the stone, where a large area of grass had been trampled flat, and there were still a few cigarette butts left on the ground.

Xue Rin clenched the scarf in his hand tighter and looked at the forest in the distance, "Yao Zhixia, hold on a little longer." ”

----

"Brother, if you want me to say, tomorrow the four of us will divide into two ways, let Xue Rin bring the money alone, and trade with the two of us at sea, as soon as the money is in hand, let your brother release people in the forest, and we will find a remote coast to meet, and finally slip from the sea. ”

The man at the head thought for a moment, "That's a good idea, I think we'll do it." ”

Yao Zhixia, who was tied to the ground, immediately interjected: "What if the two of you get the money and drive the boat by yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, the other two men standing beside her looked at each other for a moment, and looked at the brother and sister suspiciously.

"Big brother, it's not that we don't trust you, it's really unpredictable, we have never done kidnapping, you have to give us a reassurance!" one of the men questioned euphemistically.

The leading man glanced at Yao Zhixia, and couldn't help but become wary of this woman who wanted to sow discord, he paused, "It's better like this, I'll go with you to get the money, and my sister and your brother are responsible for taking care of Yao Zhixia, how about it?"

Hearing this proposal, the two looked at each other again, and the older man nodded, "Okay, that's it!"

After they had agreed, they took Yao Zhixia all the way south, intending to spend the night on the edge of the woods near the southern coast of the island, where a back bay hid a speedboat they had rented beforehand.

Seeing that the plan could not be achieved, Yao Zhixia had no choice but to stand still and obediently follow them.

"We can't light a bonfire tonight, in case the coast guard finds us, the three of us men take turns to be on duty at night, remember, no matter what this girl says, she is not allowed to untie her!"

The man at the head specially warned the other two brothers that he had just come out of prison and did not want to be planted in the hands of this woman.

After the bread and sausages prepared in advance, they each picked a place to sleep, leaving only the younger of the two brothers to watch Yao Zhixia.

The surrounding forest was pitch black, and the cold wind from the sea made Yao Zhixia shiver, she kept observing the few people who went to sleep first, and after about half an hour, she felt that they had fallen asleep, and she moved.

"Don't move!

The boy who was watching her immediately whispered to stop her, because it was too dark around Yao Zhixia to see the man's face clearly, but she could hear a trace of nervousness in the man's voice.

"Is that your brother?" Yao Zhixia whispered.

The black silhouette beside him was obviously stunned, "Don't worry so much!

Yao Zhixia noticed this boy who hadn't spoken much during the day, his eyes were constantly wandering, and he licked his lips from time to time, presumably because he was so nervous because of the first time he did this kind of kidnapping.

"I'm all tied up by you, what else can I do with you?" the boy's tone made Yao Zhixia a little more sure.

"You, you, don't try to play tricks!"

"Anyway, I'm just a hostage, tomorrow you get the money, I'm free, what do I have to run. ”

There was no movement on the boy's side, and after a while, he spoke: "My brother and I just want to get some money, we don't want to kill people, as long as you cooperate obediently, I will let you go tomorrow." ”

"I know, when I look at you and your brother, I know that you are not that kind of bad people, but you are just forced by life. Yao Zhixia's tone was filled with pity.

"My brother and I can't help it, in order to treat my mother, all the family's savings have been spent, if it weren't for the medical expenses, we wouldn't have taken this risk. ”

"But have you ever thought that kidnapping is a serious crime, and if you are caught, I am afraid that you will spend many years in prison, and who will take care of your mother then? and how sad she is!" Yao Zhixia said and moved to the boy's side.

The boy seemed to have been struck by Yao Zhixia's words, and did not react to her actions at all.

"As long as you survive tomorrow and take and get the money, it's fine. The boy muttered nervously to himself.

"Actually, I have an easier way to get this money. Yao Zhixia deliberately lowered her voice, for fear of waking up the others who were sleeping.

"W-What?"

"Don't you and your brother just need money? It's not a secret, in fact, Xue Rin is my fiancé, I denied the relationship with him before just because I was afraid of implicating him, I think you also know how rich his family is, right? For him, I am his most important person, if you can save me safely, how do you think he will react?"

The boy looked down and thought about it, and said tentatively uncertainly, "Will he thank me with money?"

"Of course, you want 10 million, but you have to share it with their brothers and sisters, and from now on, you and your brother are fugitives, and there will be a risk of being arrested at any time, but if you send me back, Xue Rin will reward you with more than that, and you are considered guilty and meritorious, I will intercede for you in front of the judge, do you want to live a frightened life from now on, or do you want to do your filial piety in front of your mother's bed?"

The boy suddenly stopped talking, he was thinking about something motionless, and although Yao Zhixia couldn't see his expression, he could see through his heart.

"I, I ......"

"Don't move!"

Yao Zhixia was expecting the boy's reply, but was startled by the black shadow that suddenly appeared from behind him, the black shadow was tightly covering the boy's mouth and nose with one hand, and the other hand seemed to be holding something against the boy's neck.

The boy was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and even the first exclamation was immediately held back, and he had to nod his head again and again.

But as soon as this head was ordered, the black shadow quickly raised his hand and slashed at the outside of the boy's neck with a palm, and before Yao Zhixia could react, the boy planted his head beside her.

Seeing this, the black shadow immediately stepped forward to pull Yao Zhixia up, but she was wrapped in a circle of ropes, and she couldn't walk by herself.

"Damn it!"

The black shadow immediately picked up Yao Zhixia, carried her on his shoulder, and strode into the pitch-black woods.

The trampled grass then made a "rustling" sound, and the three sleeping people were immediately woken up by the sound, and they all stood up to see what was happening.

"Brother, this, this, did he faint or was he injured?

"Where's the woman!"

"Why don't you look for it, the ducks you can get can fly!"

Yao Zhixia's chin was stuck on the shoulder of the black shadow, and the angry shouts behind her came and went, but she couldn't look back when she was tied, and those shouts became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent.

The deeper you go into the forest, the darker it becomes, the sight is buried, the sense of hearing and smell becomes clearer, and Yao Zhixia feels a heavy wheezing sound and a familiar smell, which is wrapped in the characteristic smell of branches and leaves in the forest.

"You ......"

Just as he was about to speak, the person under him stumbled and threw himself on the ground, and Yao Zhixia behind him naturally pressed on the person impartially.

"Are you okay, are you okay, are you hurt?" Yao Zhixia asked again and again in panic.

The black shadow lay on the ground and wailed in pain, "Damn!

As soon as the black shadow spoke, Yao Zhixia hurriedly twisted his waist, and rolled off the man's back with a turnover.

"Xue Rin, how are you? How are you? Tell me quickly! I can't see you clearly!"

Xue Rin supported the ground with his hands, turned himself over, he touched his knee, and only felt a hot heat, "Hiss...... I must have broken my knee. ”

"Cut the rope from me with a knife, and I'll help you go!"

"Where did I get my knife in this wilderness?"

"Didn't you threaten the boy with a knife just now?"

"How could I carry a knife with me! That's a piece of stone I picked up, and it was him!"

"Then you untie the knot with your hands!"

Xue Rin approached Yao Zhixia's side, and then groped in the dark according to the direction of her voice, but he couldn't find where the knot was after touching for a long time.

Yao Zhixia, who was touched by Xue Rin, was a little embarrassed, "You stop there!"

When Xue Rin heard this, she immediately obediently stopped her hand on Yao Zhixia's body, and felt the warmth of Xue Rin's palm on her back, Yao Zhixia twisted her body forward vigorously, until her hands tied behind her touched Xue Rin's hand.

"This is it!"

Xue Rin immediately reached out and began to fumble for the knot, and after a lot of effort, Yao Zhixia finally regained his freedom.

Tearing open the rope wrapped around his body, Yao Zhixia immediately sat up and groped to help Xue Rin up.

"How did you find us?

"I saw the traces you left on the grass, so I followed you all the way to find you, I waited for a long time not far from you, and then I found a chance to rescue you, Manager Liu has called the police, it is estimated that they have begun to look for us in the afternoon, but this forest is so big, and it is so dark at night, it is estimated that it will continue to look for us tomorrow morning." Xue Rin said that, and pushed himself up a little harder.

"Why did you come to me by yourself!Do you know it's dangerous!" Thinking of those people, Yao Zhixia was terrified.

"It's because I know the danger that I can't wait. Xue Rin's voice was a little hoarse.

Xue Rin's words made Yao Zhixia's nose sour, and she no longer refuted, but just hugged him in her arms in distress.

Xue Rin breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky, only to see layers of inky black tree tops crushed in the sky, and through the gaps between the leaves, a bright star could be faintly seen.

What kind of romance is there at this time? Xue Rin cursed secretly in his heart.
