Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 1291 - 1294: Cousin, Bear with It a Little

As Yan Fengchi dashed downstairs, he frantically dialed Luo Xi’s phone, trying three times with no answer! Now he genuinely believed something had happened to Luo Xi!

But, how could Luo Xi possibly be kidnapped?!

That woman has always been clever!

Yan Fengchi exploded with rage, worry gnawing at him, and immediately called Gu Shaocheng to inquire about the details.

Gu Shaocheng was fumbling with his keys, speaking briefly with Yan Fengchi while tossing the keys to Leng Tong, the bodyguard in the car: "Go back to the Gu Family immediately, take the box from my study, and bring it to XX Wharf!"

........................

"Cousin, don’t move, don’t move!"

At this moment, they were both on a cargo ship, surrounded by towering containers.

The ropes around them were untied. There were only the two of them in the cargo hold. The so-called "courteous treatment" by the captors merely meant they weren’t tied up, but perhaps the captors knew that Luo Xi was skilled, for they had dislocated both of her arms. Large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead down her cheek.

Luo Xi ignored the pain, looking left and right at the enclosed cargo hold filled with the smell of coal from the containers beside them.

Chenxing called out helplessly, not knowing what to do, while Luo Xi bit her lip patiently: "Chenxing, help me set the bone."

"I... I can’t do it." She wasn’t used to such things.

"Yes, you can. I remember you’ve learned before, in Liberia, during one of the medical missions, when several boys dislocated their joints. The attending doctor taught you how to set bones, so stop dawdling and get to work!"

Chenxing felt her head spin: "But it’s been so long, and I’ve only tried it once. What if I don’t set it right? You could end up more injured!"

"Just give it a try; otherwise, neither of us will escape!"

She never imagined she’d be deceived. The call she received was from a mercenary in the corps she once belonged to; after the captain and most comrades met their fate, the corps disbanded, and the few remaining went their separate ways, "There’s no other choice; do you want to be slaughtered like a lamb? Even if you’re willing, I, Luo Xi, can’t bear that shame. We have to rely on ourselves to escape; otherwise, we’ll become hostages they use for leverage. Do you want to become a bargaining chip for Gu Shaocheng?"

Though she had no idea why they were captured, she was undoubtedly already a hostage!

"They said as long as Shaocheng hands over the box, they’d release us."

Luo Xi interrupted her with a cold laugh: "That box is bought with the lives of my captain and brothers; I won’t allow myself to become a bargaining chip for Gu Shaocheng to give it away. That’s why I need to escape before they complete the deal."

Seeing her tense expression, Luo Xi smiled helplessly: "Think about it, what if they break their promise?"

Chenxing pursed her lips, moved by Luo Xi’s words. In truth, she didn’t trust others easily either. She wasn’t foolish; she only doubted her own abilities, lacked self-confidence, but now resolved: "Cousin, I’ll try."

Searching around the cargo hold, she finally found something to bite onto, worried that her cousin might bite her tongue from the pain, "Cousin, bear with it a bit."

Before biting onto the object, Luo Xi reassured her: "Hold my arm, gently rotate clockwise 3-4 times, and when you find the position, pull hard to reset the dislocated joint. Sister, believe in yourself; you can do it." Then she opened her mouth, biting onto the object, preventing herself from screaming and alerting the guard outside the door.
