A dark room in an abandoned factory.
By the faint light, Su Xingyang stared at Chen An'an, who sat close beside him.
It had taken them a great deal of effort a long time ago to manage to sit against the wall, with their shoulders touching.
When the mysterious man had thrown them into the dark room, he had simply dropped them on the floor and paid them no mind.
Their hands and feet were bound, and they couldn't break free. Moreover, the tape over their mouths wouldn't come off. So, after a brief struggle, Su Xingyang and Chen An'an gave up.
They could only wait for someone to rescue them.
"Brother-in-law, why aren't you here to save me yet?" Su Xingyang lamented in his heart.
Logically, Zhou Yu, Su Yuyan, and his father, Su Qichuan, should have discovered his disappearance long ago.
But he had already slept for a while, and Chen An'an was still unconscious.
He had no idea how much time had passed outside.
In any case, Su Xingyang was starving, his stomach clinging to his back.
If this continued, he and Chen An'an would likely starve to death here before Zhou Yu even arrived.
There was nothing in this dark room, not even a single rat to be found!
But even if there were rats, Su Xingyang probably wouldn't dare to catch one…
Uh…
What the hell was he going to catch them with?
His hands were tied, how could he catch anything?
Thinking of this, Su Xingyang felt regret once more.
If he hadn't fallen so easily for a honey trap, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
But…
The person who had trapped him was in the same room with him.
For some reason, Su Xingyang couldn't bring himself to hate Chen An'an.
Suddenly.
The person beside him woke up.
"Mmmph…"
Chen An'an had just woken up, and when she tried to speak, she could only make muffled sounds.
She finally came to her senses, realizing she was tied up…
Fortunately, Su Xingyang was beside her. If she were alone, she would probably have broken down by now.
Chen An'an had a terrible nightmare.
In her dream, she woke up in the morning to find her mother gone. No matter how much she shouted or called, her mother's figure moved further and further away until she disappeared.
Gradually, Chen An'an began to cry.
"Mmmph?"
Seeing her cry, Su Xingyang wanted to comfort her but couldn't speak.
This made him very anxious.
However, the sounds Su Xingyang made not only failed to help but caused Chen An'an to cry even harder.
"…"
Su Xingyang was in a panic.
Unable to communicate, he didn't even know why Chen An'an was crying.
Hadn't she cried once before?
He didn't know that Chen An'an had dreamed about her mother.
"Mmm mmm…"
Su Xingyang nudged Chen An'an with his shoulder.
She didn't react, still crying.
He nudged her again.
She was still crying…
He continued to nudge her.
Finally, he managed to… knock Chen An'an over…
The two of them fell like a human pyramid, one below, the other on top.
But because Su Xingyang and Chen An'an's hands and feet were bound, they couldn't get up no matter how hard they tried.
What's more, after being hungry for so long, where would they find the strength?
Thus, Chen An'an could only let Su Xingyang press down on her and remain still.
Even though Su Xingyang's head was pressed down on a certain part of her, they could only maintain their current position.
Su Xingyang was extremely embarrassed. He never expected that his attempt to nudge Chen An'an would result in this situation.
He dared not make any sound.
Because if he did, it would seem as if he were deliberately taking advantage of her.
"She smells so good."
Su Xingyang's mind began to wander.
With their current posture, it was hard for him not to have certain thoughts.
And so, silence fell upon the dark room once more.
"Tap!"
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xingyang vaguely thought he heard a sound.
Had someone arrived?
"I must not miss this chance to be rescued!"
Su Xingyang mustered his remaining strength and tried to roll off Chen An'an's body.
Just then.
With a click, the iron door of the dark room was opened.
And as Su Xingyang looked up, he finally saw the brother-in-law he had been longing for!
Of course, Zhou Yu also saw Su Xingyang's head, hovering less than three centimeters above a certain part of the young lady.
Zhou Yu was stunned.
Was Su Xingyang still in the mood for this sort of thing while being kidnapped?
"Xingyang, am I perhaps interrupting something?" Zhou Yu asked.
Su Xingyang was mortified.
How could he not understand what his brother-in-law meant?
But wasn't this a coincidence?
He wanted to explain but could only make muffled grunts.
And Chen An'an, beneath him, had a face so red it burned all the way to her ears.
…
A few minutes later.
Su Xingyang and Chen An'an's hands and feet were unbound, and they finally saw the light of day.
It seemed to be just after dawn.
However, Su Xingyang had no time to consider how long he and Chen An'an had been trapped.
Because outside the abandoned factory, more than ten armed vehicles were parked!
Military plates!
This meant that in addition to his brother-in-law Zhou Yu, the law enforcement team and special forces soldiers were also here!
"Do I warrant such a grand reception?" Su Xingyang was astonished.
Looking at the people in uniform not far away, he almost thought he was dreaming.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you pinch me? I think I'm still trapped in that dark room, just dreaming, and I'll go back there when I wake up," Su Xingyang said to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu paused for a moment.
This kid!
What an outrageous request!
Very well, I'll grant it!
Zhou Yu reached out and pinched Su Xingyang's arm.
"Ah!"
A scream that pierced the heavens echoed.
The people nearby all looked over.
They had come to rescue someone, only to find that the rescued person had the energy to let out such a loud cry.
Chen An'an, standing beside Su Xingyang, was also dumbfounded.
She couldn't understand.
It was one thing for Su Xingyang to ask his brother-in-law to pinch him.
But his brother-in-law actually did, and it looked like he did it with considerable force.
Otherwise, Su Xingyang wouldn't have let out such an astonishing scream.
But this also meant that Su Xingyang and his brother-in-law had a very good relationship.
Being able to make such a joke was proof enough of that.
…
In a black armored vehicle.
Su Xingyang and Chen An'an had eaten some food, and their bodies were gradually regaining their strength.
The law enforcement officers and special forces soldiers had parted ways with them.
However, the driver of this vehicle was not Zhou Yu.
"Brother-in-law, is he one of ours?"
After eating his fill, Su Xingyang's curiosity gnawed at him like an itch.
He knew Zhou Yu owned a Bentley.
Instead of driving the Bentley or his cousin Su Yuyan's car to rescue him this time, he had brought an entire convoy!
The identity of the driver of this armored vehicle was indeed intriguing.
Zhou Yu smiled and said to the driver in front, "Why don't you introduce yourself to him?"
"Divine Doctor Zhou, please don't tease me. I'm just a driver. Commander Leng assigned me the task of taking you back to the Su family. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" the driver replied.
Hearing this, Su Xingyang was immensely shocked.
