Can't Take My Eyes Off You

The kidnappers were so confident that she did not know where they were. They were not suspicious when she mentioned her cousin with a jade processing factory. They had taken her word for it.

After all, she had been knocked unconscious when they kidnapped her. Then, they had placed her in that small and dark room. She had not stepped out of the room at all. No one would have guessed that she had already known where she was.

She was certain that Chen Xuyao understood the hint in her words, so she could not let Chu Sheng eat the food that night.

Chu Sheng must not have known about the sleeping pills in the food. Otherwise, she would not have been in a coma every day. However, she had no choice but to eat because she would starve to death if she did not do that.

Even if she was awake, she could not find the opportunity to leave. Therefore, Chu Sheng ate the food every day even though she knew something was wrong with them.

After she heard Jiang Yao's instructions, she was ready to throw the food into the trash can. However, Jiang Yao quickly took her food away.

"You can't eat, but I can. Those kidnappers are so stingy. They only gave me a little food for the first two meals. I can't even eat my fill. You can't eat this food, but I can. The sleeping pills don't affect my body." Jiang Yao smiled before she ate the food.

The two people who came to collect the empty dishes looked at the trash can and the empty bowls. They left with satisfied expressions on their faces.

The room was quiet—the windows were tightly shut. Even though Jiang Yao and Chu Sheng could see the shadows of the trees outside, they could not feel the breeze.

There were two electric fans in the room, but they did not work. It was unbearably hot as they lay on the bed.

"I wonder how long Chen Xuyao will take to find this place. I'll go crazy if I stay here for one more night," Jiang Yao muttered. Then, she turned around and was about to sit back on the bed. However, she realized that Moe had returned without her noticing.

At that time, he was sitting on the bed licking his paw. After noticing that Jiang Yao was looking at him, he put down his little paw and said, "I went back to the army base, but I couldn't find your man. I couldn't get through to him on the phone either. However, Chen Xuyao had already set off with his men when I arrived. It has been so long since we set off. He should be hiding outside."

Jiang Yao turned her head to look at the window and then poked Moe's head. He had known about it, but he had only returned to tell her then. What had Moe been doing for the past few hours?

It was almost 11 o'clock.

As Moe said, Chen Xuyao and his men had been lurking outside for a long time.

After all, their presence would alert the enemy and hurt Jiang Yao and Chu Sheng. It would also prevent the villagers' movements from affecting the army's movements. Therefore, they decided to wait until 1 a.m. Everyone would be asleep then.

"Fifth Young Master Chen, Colonel Lu has arrived at the village entrance. He came on a bicycle. He will probably arrive in half an hour." The sergeant in charge of the rescue operation put the communication device in his pocket and turned to Chen Xuyao. "Colonel Lu said that he will sneak into the factory to find the location of the two hostages when he arrives. Then, he will try to rescue them discreetly. We will wait for his signal outside."
