The yellow-haired man yawned. He looked lazy, but he had a good temper. He didn't chime in when the man beside him started cursing.
"Let's hurry over there. We still don't know what's going on there—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a long knife about a dozen centimeters long was pressed against his neck.
He swallowed hard, and his legs began to tremble.
"I've finally seen two living people," Hongxiu seemed extremely excited. "Tell me quickly, where's the little mermaid?"
The yellow-haired man was so scared that he stammered, "Wh...what little mermaid?"
"Don't play dumb with me. She's the giveaway from your auction, that little girl."
The yellow-haired man took two steps back, and Hongxiu stepped forward.
At this time, the red-haired man couldn't stand it anymore. He said disdainfully, "You're such a coward. She's just a woman. Do you have to be so afraid of her?"
As soon as he said this, the yellow-haired man shouted at the top of his lungs, "If this knife were on your neck, let's see if you're scared!"
It seemed that the red-haired man really couldn't stand his cowardice, so he decided to attack Hongxiu.
He raised his arm, clenched his fist, and was about to smash it at her. Unexpectedly, Hongxiu reacted quickly and dodged immediately. She leaned on the yellow-haired man's shoulder with one hand and kicked the red-haired man several meters away with the other.
The red-haired man fainted on the spot.
Now there was only one person left awake. Naturally, Hongxiu wouldn't let him go so easily.
She pressed the knife closer to his neck and threatened, "Are you going to tell me this time? Otherwise, I'll make you end up like him."
The yellow-haired man was timid. Facing the choice between dignity and life, he didn't hesitate to choose the latter.
"I...I'll take you there. Don't kill me."
Hongxiu controlled him like this. Even if he had other ideas, it would be useless.
The two turned several corners along the way, and Hongxiu remembered the route. It had to be said that the place where they hid people was really winding. She was almost dizzy.
Fortunately, she found this yellow-haired man to lead the way. Otherwise, she didn't know how far she would have to go to find the girl.
At this time, the two were standing in front of a big iron gate.
The yellow-haired man unlocked it with his fingerprint tremblingly. He pointed inside and said, "She's inside. Go in and look for her..."
"You come with me."
The yellow-haired man nodded. He looked extremely timid. "You can rest assured. I won't play any tricks. I'm much more timid than ordinary people."
Hearing this, Hongxiu couldn't help laughing. It had to be said that he was really timid.
As soon as they entered.
Hongxiu saw Song Nuan tied there. Her eyes were open, and tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
She turned to look at the yellow-haired man. Judging from his expression, he seemed to want to say something. Hongxiu knocked him out with a chop of her hand.
"Are you Song Nuan?" She walked forward.
Song Nuan was so scared that she couldn't say a word. The key was that her eyes were always fixed on the knife.
She could understand. Any normal person would be startled when seeing this knife. She couldn't grab the girl by the collar and force her not to be afraid. That was unrealistic.
Hongxiu put away her weapon and quickly untied the ropes binding the girl.
"Let's go. Your sister asked me to rescue you." She stood there looking at the girl in front of her.
In fact, looking at her like this, this girl was much more delicate than her sister. No wonder she was abducted to this kind of place.
Just as Song Nuan was about to leave, she found that her legs were getting weak and she couldn't move at all.
She looked up at Hongxiu shyly, her voice trembling. "I...I seem to be unable to walk."
Hongxiu turned her head and murmured softly, "What a hassle."
Why couldn't she get rid of these burdens? The last person who got weak in the knees when in danger was Lu Weiran.
So, Hongxiu squatted down in front of her and said helplessly, "Then come up."
"Eh... Is... Is that okay?"
She shrugged indifferently. "Why not?"
Song Nuan climbed onto her back carefully, put her arms around her neck, and buried her face in her back shyly.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me. Because of you, I've wasted a lot of time."
The girl on her back was stunned for a moment and kept silent until they had walked for nearly half an hour and were about to get out.
She spoke again, "I still don't know your name."
Hongxiu pursed her lips. She was afraid that telling her code name would scare this timid girl, so she told her her real name.
"Lin You."
"My name is Song—"
Hongxiu interrupted coldly, "I know. Song Nuan, right?"
"Yes..."
She carried the girl out all the way. At this time, the hall was in a mess. After what had just happened, those customers just wanted to leave quickly.
But the ship had already sailed into the South China Sea and was set on autopilot. The people at the auction didn't know where the captain was.
Seeing this scene, Hongxiu knew that the task of the others must be very arduous.
She frowned slightly and carried the girl on her back, planning to find a safe place for her.
Just then, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a strange and powerful force.
In the chaotic crowd, she clearly saw Song Wen standing there out of breath.
When the two biological sisters met, there were naturally endless words and endless concerns.
But in Hongxiu's view, this was just a waste of time. She directly put the girl down from her back.
"You two go and find a place to hide by yourselves. I have more important things to do!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
She turned her head and saw Lu Weiran hiding in the storage room on the first floor waving at her.
Hongxiu knew that it must be a safe place.
She looked down at the two sisters hugging each other. Then, without saying a word, Hongxiu grabbed Song Nuan by the back of her neck and took her in.
Everyone hid in the storage room.
Lu Weiran didn't expect her task to be completed so quickly. He hadn't had time to tell her the situation yet, but Hongxiu was about to go out.
Just as she was about to go out, Lu Weiran grabbed her wrist.
"Hongxiu, listen to me now!" His eyes trembled slightly, looking thoughtful. "Facai has already retreated with the crystal element and the serum. We're both safe, and you've also rescued the girl. As for the last thing, I believe in them too."
"If you go to find them now, you're just causing trouble for yourself. Just stay here."
What Lu Weiran said... seemed to be right. After all, the other two were the first and second ranked bounty hunters.
She hesitated and turned to see Xia Liang leaning against the sack, looking half-dead.
"What's wrong with her?"
Lu Weiran sighed. "She was injured while covering Facai's retreat."
So... this girl was injured like this, while Lu Weiran was still alive and kicking. He was really something.
Now the only thing that worried Hongxiu was Shen Jianyi and the other person.
