495 Lets Cha (2/2)

Ye Feng was so shocked that he almost choked. The other people were quite disappointed, but it was better than nothing. At least one person was affected. Who could guarantee that there would not be a chain effect?

Ye Feng calmed down and glanced at Ye Shuang. ”But, brother-in-law, you don't look well. Are you sure you can keep up?”

Ye Shuang was shocked. ”Even you can see that? Since you said I'm not looking well, it's the truth.”

”What do you mean?” Ye Feng felt like he might have known some important information. He thought that it was because of something else that Ye Shuang had a pale face, but now it sounded like it was not that simple.

Unfortunately, they could not openly say the rest. Ye Shuang smiled and did not explain. As annoyed as Ye Feng was, under the circumstances, he could only hold it in.

…

They were moved to a cave. There were some dry food and wood there. There was even a simple wooden bed. The place seemed to be used often. It was most likely built by the villagers, but in this case, it was naturally used as a spot to keep the hostages.

However, as simple as the place was, the method of keeping them there was not simple. When they arrived, Ye Shuang noticed that these people carried a large, thick chain. They walked around the bed with it and made a knot before taking out handcuffs to link the hostages to the chain. The siblings were thus chained to the bed. Other than by using the key, the other way of unlocking it was to have one of them shrink in size and then walk around the chain to undo the knot…

Ye Shuang leaned against the bed and stopped communicating with her brother. She turned her target to the kidnappers instead. ”The living conditions aside, now that you have captured us, I don't think you predicted there would be an extra hostage, right? Do you have enough food? There is no benefit if we die from hunger. Will someone come to refill your stock if there is not enough?”

One of the kidnappers who had been squatting with his eyes closed eventually answered, ”You don't need to waste your time. It's still unknown who will starve, but no one will come here. There is no way we can contact the boss. If you are really useless to us, we will leave you behind when we leave.”

Naturally, the 'people' left behind would be dead.

Ye Shuang heard it but was not scared. Her free hand scratched her chin thoughtfully. ”Then you are the abandoned party? Oh, sorry, I should call you the dare-to-die troops?”

”Shut up!” the kidnapper growled.

”Well, since we have nothing else to do, we should chat.” Ye Shuang continued to speak. ”It's one thing for you to catch a hostage—that's a good idea, I admit—but have you considered the fact that you might have offended the local leader?”
