It was already evening, and there was no one in the parking lot at the residential estate. With the dim lights, the whole parking lot was perfectly quiet.
Murong Xue and Ye Feng stopped the car as usual. They locked the car and walked towards the elevator. All of a sudden, three men came out of nowhere and brought Ye Feng under control. Another two tied Murong Xue's hands and feet and gagged her with a piece of cloth. A thought flashed through her mind before she fainted: "Oh, no!"
Ye Feng was skilled, but there were too many of them. When he was about to fight back, one pulled out a gun against Murong Xue's head. Ye Feng had no choice but to give in. Several men in black had him tied up instantly, pushed them two into the car, and drove off.
Where were they?
Upon waking up, Murong Xue noticed the scrap metal around. It seemed to be an abandoned garage. Ye Feng was lying next to her on the ground, still in a coma. Both of them were tied up.
Not far away, four people were playing cards, paying no attention to them. After all, they were both tied up. The factory gate was locked, and there was no telling how many people were guarding outside.
Murong Xue moved towards Ye Feng. She gently kicked him with her tied feet while whispering, "Wake up, Ye Feng."
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and got his clear head back within a second. "Princess."
"Shh, keep your voice down." Murong Xue motioned him to see the people nearby with a look.
"Princess, are you all right?" Ye Feng asked in a low voice. He slowly sat up and observed the surroundings.
Murong Xue shook her head. "I'm fine. I don't know who they are?" She was thinking whether she had offended anyone recently. Lin Ziqing came to her mind, but she had someone watch over her and didn't notice anything untoward. Was it just a kidnapping or blackmail? That was possible. Those outlaws would do anything for money. Besides, she was the daughter of the Murong Family, making her an easy target. If they only wanted money, she was not afraid.
Ye Feng found that all his weapons had been taken. He moved closer to the pillar nearby and glanced sideways at those card players. Seeing that they were so absorbed and paid no attention to them, he leaned his ear against the pillar. There was a tiny earring in his ear, which was a signal transmitter with GPS. As long as he pressed it, Prince and Ye Liu could receive the message and know he was in trouble. He would not be afraid if he was alone. But the Princess was here.
Murong Xue had the Space, but hiding in there was a last resort because it would bring more disaster to the Murong Family. Luckily, she could get the knockout drops from the Space when they weren't noticing. But those four people were a bit far from them. Besides, she didn't know how many people were outside. If they made a racket, it would be even harder to escape.
"I should play it by ear." Murong Xue thought to herself.
Ye Feng looked around to see if there was anything sharp to use. Unfortunately, there was nothing within 5 meters except scrap metal in the distance. He hoped that the Prince could receive his message as soon as possible.
Soon, a voice came from the outside of the factory building. The heavy iron gate was opened.
In came five tall men, among whom the leader was about 30 years old with blond hair and blue eyes. They were obviously natives except for the leader. The four people playing cards dropped their cards in a hurry and came up.
The man with blue eyes didn't look like a kidnapper at all. While the other people did as they had some scars more or less and wore common clothes.
"How can you treat our distinguished guests like this? Let go of this beautiful lady!" The blue-eyed man said with an accent of country A.
"What do you want?" Ye Feng shouted in anger.
A burly dark-haired man waved his hand, and several guys behind him immediately went up to Murong Xue and untied her. Murong Xue remained silent and wanted to calm down Ye Feng who tried to divert their attention with his anger.
It seemed that Murong Xue was the target. These guys were not like kidnappers. If they had been kidnappers, they would have directly called her parents and wouldn't have talked so much.
The blue-eyed man had been observing Murong Xue. He was surprised to find that this little girl, the daughter of the Murong Family, didn't turn a hair and remained composed and collected. She was not simple.
"Please take a seat, Miss Murong!" The blue-eyed man sat down on a crude wooden chair.
Murong Xue hinted to Ye Feng with a look that he'd better stay put. She calmly walked to a chair and sat down. She knew at first glance that the blue-eyed man was the person in charge. "I don't know why you invited me here. I don't seem to know you." She cut to the chase.
"Miss Murong really surprised me. It's no big deal. I heard that you detoxified the son of the Yang Family in A province?" The tone was affirmative instead of interrogative.
Murong Xue was startled. It turned out that the news got out that Yang Feng was cured by her. So the person before her was the one who owned Soul-killing? It would be no use even if she denied it. Now that they had got hold of her, they wouldn't rush to act before figuring it out. Moreover, they seemed to have no fears for the Murong Family. More exactly, they didn't take Murong Family seriously. Trouble was looming. "I just happen to know the method, but I didn't expect it to work. I just don't know what it has to do with you inviting me here?"
The blue-eyed man smiled. "Our boss is very interested in Miss Murong's prescription. You should have an ancient book on prescriptions. As far as I know, the book includes a prescription for the poison Soul-killing. Miss Murong can detoxify it, so the ancient medical book is in your hand, right?"
In fact, she knew that ten to one they were for the prescription when she heard they mentioned Yang Feng. But they were probably bad guys as they had the banned Soul-killing. If she handed over the prescription, they would harm more people. But it didn't matter much if she only gave them the antidote to Soul-killing. Murong Xue remained silent for a moment. "Sir, you must be joking. If our Murong Family had ancient medical books, we would establish ourselves long ago, instead of being just a big family in A province. I just happen to get the antidote for Soul-killing, and I only have one antidote."
Murong Xue was glad that she had never represented Rise Group in public, and it was kept secret. At present, the drugs sold by Rise Group were commonly used ones with better effects, and Rise Group had not attracted much attention.
A black-haired man next to the blue-eyed one kicked the table in front of Murong Xue and shouted, "Little girl, don’t go overboard. You have a death wish, don't you? Take out the ancient medical book now!"
The table brushed past her feet, but Murong Xue still kept calm and didn’t even blink. "I'm telling the truth. Even if you want to kill me, I can't give you the ancient medical book you talked about. I can't conjure a non-existent thing out of nowhere."
The dark-haired man pulled out a gun against Murong Xue's head. "In this case, go to hell!"
The gun made Murong Xue feel cold on the forehead. She tried to suppress the fear inside. All her plans would go up in flames if she gave in now. She was betting that they would not kill her if they wanted the prescription.
The past time felt like a century. Her heart was racing.
The blue-eyed man said slowly, "Well, don't rush to shoot. You’ve frightened the little girl!" Before he came here, he had made a thorough investigation about the Murong Family, but he didn’t find out they had any medical skills. Besides, they were not engaged in the pharmaceutical industry. Perhaps what she said was true.
But the order from above said they must get the ancient medical book. If they only bring a prescription back, they would be told off or punished. He looked at Murong Xue again, thinking whether bringing her back to Country B might cause trouble.
His gaze gave Murong Xue goosebumps all over. She knew it was not easy to fob them off. By the look of it, they were people who didn't take human life seriously. These people were the most troublesome. They had strong backgrounds and had no fears for the Murong Family.
She didn't have to consider entering the Space to escape. They knew everything about her and the Murong Family. She would rather die than render her family in danger. If the Space was exposed, it would bring disaster to the Murong Family.
At this moment, she deeply felt the importance of power. If she could help her family grow stronger, how dare these people threaten her like this?
"Miss Murong, where did you get the antidote to Soul-killing?" The blue-eyed man thought of the key point.
"A few years ago, I saw an old man squatting on the side of the road. I sympathized with him and bought him some fast food. He handed me a piece of paper which said ‘Soul-killing’. At first, I thought it was scrap paper and almost threw it away. But on second thought, I decided to keep it as I saw some medicine names on it. Later, I went back to find the old man, but he was gone. That's it. You can check if I bought lunch for an old man on the street of A province three years ago."
Murong Xue knew she had to tell them the source, otherwise, they could not believe her. Three years ago, she did buy lunch for an old man, and he had passed away. She was not afraid of them checking it out.
