Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Kidnapping
In that shadowy alley.
Flickering flames illuminated the nearby area.
“Who are you? Who sent you?”
The cry of Prefecture Princess Luo brought Di Xuan, who was standing stupefied, back to his senses.
His heart also trembled!
Previously, he thought these shadows were people from Prefecture Princess Luo’s house. It wasn’t until he heard the cry of Thirteenth Luo that he realized things were not what he thought.
“Run!”
Di Xuan instinctively yelled, quickly passing through the shadows, attempting to escape.
How could the two half-grown kids escape with a dead alley in front of them and several shadows chasing them behind?
Even with their desperate struggle, they were eventually caught and tightly bound by several people after suffering some pain.
“Damn! I didn’t expect to run into fat sheep today! This should be enough for us to live worry-free for half a year! Move faster and don’t dawdle!”
A man forcefully shoved Di Xuan, almost causing him to stumble and fall face forward.
He staggered a few steps, barely regaining his balance.
As he tried to move his sore and numb arms, he found them tightly wrapped by hemp ropes, unable to break free.
“Mmm”
The situation for Thirteenth Luo walking in front was no better. Not only was she similarly tied up, but her mouth was also gagged.
The shadows pushed them both every few steps: “Hurry up! Don’t even think about escaping! Want more marks on your faces?”
As they spoke, they raised the knives in their hands.
Rather than leaving the alley, they pushed the two people into a small door beside them.
Di Xuan instinctively tried to run, but before he could escape, several people grabbed him and shoved him.
He lost his balance and fell forward onto Thirteenth Luo. The two of them tumbled to the ground and struggled for a long time before barely managing to climb up, only to be kicked several times by the shadows.
Someone emerged from the small door, making a gesture to those around.
“Shh! What are you doing, making so much noise? If the night patrol finds out, we’ll be in big trouble! Hurry up and get everyone inside!”
“Yes, yes, right away!”
The two behind them carefully pushed the two captives through the door.
On the avenue.
Di Yelei, Zhang Peng, and the others refused to give up, searching frantically in the streets. Not only did they fail to find Prefecture Princess Luo and Di Xuan, but they also came across the distraught maid.
This maid had been slapped more than a dozen times by Thirteenth Luo and was naturally unhappy.
She was originally a favorite of the Princess Consort and had been assigned to serve Prefecture Princess Luo. This made her feel extremely wronged, which caused her to consider herself superior to the other maid and woman-servants by Prefecture Princess Luo’s side.
This time, Thirteenth Luo took her alone on this trip, making her feel she was on top of the world.
Unexpectedly, she ended up being punished by Prefecture Princess Luo in the end. If this were to get out, how could she continue to hold her ground in the prince’s mansion?
With resentment in her heart, her movement naturally slowed down. By the time she noticed, the two people in front had already disappeared.
