Chapter 1297 - 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.
