Chapter 277 Unwilling to Leave
Chapter 277 Unwilling to Leave
Hearing He Suye's assurance, the woman sneered and said, "Personality? How much is that worth? You must provide evidence, otherwise we will not go with you."
The old woman spoke up at the right moment: "Little girl's mother, even if she's a fraud, can she be worse off than we are now?"
The woman disagreed, saying, "What's wrong with us now? They've been bringing us three meals a day, and apart from tying our hands, they haven't done anything else. How can they say 'it can't be worse than our current situation'? If Haojie knew we were here, he would definitely come to rescue us himself. Why would he send a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet? This is clearly a trap. We can't leave!"
Hearing this, He Suye was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The old woman spoke again: "Little girl's mother, you..."
"Dad! Stop talking! I have to think about Xiaonan. There are so many human traffickers these days! Besides, this hole is weird. We just got here today, and she crawled out of the wall... Dad, I can't go with her!"
The old man could only look at He Suye and say, "Young lady, don't blame Xiaonan's mother for being cautious. Why don't you think about what you have to prove that you and Haojie really know each other?"
He Suye was so angry that she lost her temper. Instead, she calmed down and, after a few seconds, suddenly looked at the woman.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" the woman asked, frowning.
He Suye walked up to her and asked, "You'd rather believe these kidnappers than me? Is it because you know who kidnapped you?"
A flicker of surprise flashed across the woman's eyes before she shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense, how would I know who the kidnappers are?"
He Suye laughed, staring intently at the woman and asking, "What agreement did you reach with Jiang Yichuan?"
The woman's face turned pale instantly.
He Suye didn't wait for her to answer and said directly, "Did she tell you that as long as Chen Haojie dies, you will have a lot of money?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know this Jiang Yichuan you're talking about at all..." The woman felt guilty and didn't dare to meet her eyes.
He Suye sneered and said, "Your expression doesn't lie. Let me tell you, I know Jiang Yichuan much better than you do. Once he's sure Chen Haojie's value has been used up, none of you will leave here alive! He definitely won't leave any of you with any leverage for others to use against you."
The woman blurted out in disbelief, "You're lying! He promised to give me ten million!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman exclaimed in utter shock, "Little girl's mother! You...you actually tried to buy Haojie's life with money? Haven't we treated you well? Why would you do this!"
The woman belatedly realized she had spoken the truth, and she retorted defiantly, "Why do this? Because your son will never earn ten million in his entire life!"
The old man's eyes reddened, perhaps from anger.
"You're inhuman! It's one thing if you don't care about Haojie, but don't you even care about Xiaonan?"
The woman looked at her daughter standing in front of her father-in-law, her gaze softening, and said, "With this ten million, Xiaonan can live a good life. How can I not care about her? Xiaonan, come here to your mother."
The woman's face was incredibly gentle, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
The little girl seemed to sense something and hesitated, not daring to go over.
"Little girl! Your mother is calling you!" The woman frowned and said, "Come here! Come to your mother, quick!"
The little girl was frightened and instead hid in her grandfather's arms.
The woman's face darkened, and she said in a displeased tone, "You disobedient brat, I've wasted my life raising you! I even specifically told Young Master Jiang not to tie you up, afraid you'd be uncomfortable..."
Grandpa Xiaonan was furious: "Xiaonan's mother, you, you are simply hopeless! You have no parents, and since you married into our family, we have treated you like our own daughter. We have never let you suffer or be wronged, and this is how you treat us!"
"Never suffered any injustice? That's what you think! How much injustice and suffering have you two old geezers made me endure?! Fine, I don't want to say anything more to you. Anyway, you're not leaving here until this is done! There's someone who needs to be rescued. If you don't leave right now, I'll call for help. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Where are you...?"
When the woman couldn't see He Suye, she subconsciously turned her head and felt a weight on her neck. A wave of dizziness washed over her, and everything went black before her eyes, causing her to faint.
Standing behind the woman, He Suye withdrew her hand that had delivered a chop, exhaled, and met the gazes of the two elderly people, saying, "I'm sorry, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. You should come with me quickly; time is of the essence, and we need to get out before dawn."
As she spoke, she cut the ropes that were tightly binding the two elderly people.
The two elderly people looked at each other, then at their daughters-in-law, and finally gritted their teeth, picked up their granddaughters, and crawled into the hole one after another.
He Suye was the last to leave. She tore off a piece of fabric from her clothes, stuffed it into the woman's mouth, and then crawled into the hole.
The direction you climb out is different from the way you came in, and the passage is wider, making it easier to move around.
However, because she was carrying two elderly people and a child, her progress was much slower than when she had climbed on her own. The only consolation was that the little girl named Xiaonan was very sensible and obedient, and she almost crawled forward on her own without needing any help.
After climbing for almost half an hour, the elderly and children were starting to feel the strain.
"Young lady, how much longer until we get there?" the old man asked, turning to her.
“I don’t know either. I’ve never climbed this road before. I just heard someone say that it leads directly to another exit. My men are guarding that exit.”
"Okay, honey, keep going. Little girl, once we get out, Grandpa will buy you toys and treats."
The three encouraged each other as they moved forward.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a light ahead.
"We're almost there! I see light ahead!" the old man said excitedly.
"Light?" He Suye's heart skipped a beat.
Where did the light come from in the middle of the night?
She saw light back then only because the light from the ancient tomb shone through the cracks in the wall, but where is the light now?
As if to confirm her unease, a rustling sound came from the direction of the light, as if someone was crawling towards them.
People! Jiang Yichuan's men have come looking for us!
For a moment, He Suye felt her blood run cold, and an unprecedented sense of despair made her hands and feet go icy cold.
“They’re here…” she said in a hoarse voice.
"Who's here? Is it someone to pick you up?"
The old man only realized something was off about He Suye's tone when he asked the question. It didn't sound like someone from their own side had come to pick them up; it sounded more like... kidnappers had come to ambush them.
"What...what should we do?" the old woman said in a trembling voice. "If we two old folks die, we'll just die, but what about the little girl? If I had known it would be like this, I would have let the little girl stay with her mother..."
