Chapter 1831: Chapter 1833: Escape Immediately
Lele hid to the side and saw the carriage suddenly return, thinking this was not good. If he got caught again, escaping would be much harder.
He decided to stay in place, motionless. As the carriage moved further back, he went forward in the opposite direction.
He absolutely couldn’t go in the same direction as them. If they suddenly turned around to look for him, he’d be in serious trouble.
At this moment, the two kidnappers were moving forward, feeling something amiss.
"What do we do now, big brother, the person’s gone?"
"Go back and find him?" the one referred to as big brother said, "Damn it, that little kid had so many tricks, and even managed to escape on his own?"
"Big brother, I think we should just give up," said Second, tugging at Eldest, "We lost him, it’s our fault, and it’s pitch-black out here, where would we find him? That kid’s smart enough to untie himself, on a night like this, he’s definitely hiding somewhere, we won’t find him, and if he gets back and they come looking, we’ll be in trouble."
Eldest found some sense in this and asked, "Then what do you suggest?"
"We should escape first," suggested Second, "We definitely can’t go back to that old lady now. If she sees the child is missing, won’t she be afraid we’ll leak and kill us?"
"You’re right!" Eldest nodded, "Let’s escape right away, but we must head north, not south, otherwise if that old lady sends people to find us, we’re in trouble."
"Right, let’s do that, let’s go."
With that, Eldest and Second drove the carriage and fled north.
Meanwhile, the people originally arranged by Old Madam Luo were waiting at the intersection, saw no carriage for a while, and felt something was wrong, so they rode back to report to the manor.
At the Luo manor, Luo Linfei was in his courtyard in a rage, things smashing noisily, while Old Madam Luo seemed slightly tense.
At this moment, she felt uneasy inside, always recalling Lele’s gaze, a sinister look unbefitting a child’s eyes.
The sound of knocking came from outside the door again, and Old Madam Luo’s first reaction was that it was someone from the Ye Family.
"Do not open the door!"
Following her order, nobody went to open the door, but after a while, someone reported that the knocking hadn’t ceased.
Old Madam Luo led her people to the door and shouted through it, "Ye Zi’an, get lost! There’s no one you’re looking for here."
The person outside was momentarily stunned, then shouted, "Old Madam, it’s not Ye Family, it’s me!"
That voice indeed wasn’t Ye Zi’an’s!
"Open the door quickly!" Briefly startled, Old Madam Luo hastily ordered.
Afterward, a person came in, knelt down and reported, "Old Madam, I didn’t see any carriage coming, it should have arrived by this time, I found it odd, so I came to report. And I didn’t see any carriage on my way here."
"What?" Old Madam Luo was startled, but then said, "Never mind, maybe they took the wrong route, as long as they sell the person for me, it’s fine."
"What should I do now?"
"Send someone to check which route they took, let someone follow them," after pondering, Old Madam Luo added, "Once they reach their destination, kill those two for me, dead men bring no troubles."
"Yes, I’ll go right away!"
"Go." Old Madam Luo waved her hand, and the person left.
