Niqiu saw the anger in Xinyan’s eyes and dared not cry out loud: "I don’t know, I just brought them here, those two uncles haven’t given me candy yet, I don’t remember."
As he spoke, he reached for his neck: "It hurts so much."
Xinyan understood immediately and didn’t bother with Niqiu. Seeing Sister Zhao coming up from the mountain, she shouted to her: "Sister Zhao, help take Niqiu back, and help me find He Jinxuan, tell him to come up the mountain quickly, I’m counting on you."
No matter how annoying, he was still a child, and she was afraid she might hit someone if she stayed here any longer.
Sister Zhao wanted to ask something, but then saw Xinyan sprinting up the mountain.
Xinyan had thought of asking Sister Zhao to go back to the residential compound to call for help up the mountain, but she was afraid that if too many people came, those people might tear up the ticket. She thought that Lin Aifeng must have already informed He Jinxuan.
Since the police had looked for He Jinxuan before, they must have already made arrangements, and with Sister Zhao showing him the way, they could come quickly.
Xinyan was correct in her guess. The police had indeed coordinated with the factory’s security department in advance, but they did not expect those people to have conducted an early investigation and used children to achieve their goals.
As soon as the plainclothes officers received the message sent by He Jinxuan, they quickly moved up along two other routes. He Jinxuan, on the other hand, led the security department people up the mountain by the small gate of the residential compound.
Colleagues on the police side had anticipated that those people might exploit the hillside, so they deployed forces on the mountain early. When Xinyan followed the sounds to them, those two men were holding the children and confronting the police.
Ye Siyan, with sharp eyes, spotted Xinyan, and at this moment, the two criminals, to intimidate the police, had already removed the rag from the two kids’ mouths. He opened his mouth and cried: "Sister."
The older Ye Silai shouted, "Don’t come over, it’s dangerous."
The two men looked in the direction Xinyan had come from, and as they were distracted, a policeman attempted to advance and rescue the children. However, one of the criminals quickly regained his senses: "Don’t come any closer, or don’t blame us for being ruthless."
Xinyan’s legs trembled uncontrollably: "Don’t hurt the children, they’re innocent."
The taller of the two criminals let out a cold laugh: "Innocent? Who told them to be He Jinxuan’s nephews, who let their uncle ruin our plan? If we can’t live, we must at least take someone down with us, dying with them is worth it."
Xinyan shook violently, afraid they might harm out of impulse: "You won’t get far with them; why not exchange them for me?"
The taller criminal mocked, "Oh, look at that, a brave fool came along."
Then, with a swift change in tone: "Tsk, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Say one more damn word, and I’ll kill this kid, we’re doomed anyway."
Xinyan thought to herself: If something happens to Ye Silai and Ye Siyan, how could she explain to He Jinxuan, how to face the people in the residential compound, how to stay in the mechanical factory?
Trying hard to calm herself, she tried to persuade: "You’ll never escape with these kids, they’re just a burden in your hands, if you take just me, you might have a better chance."
The chubbier of the two criminals seemed to ponder the viability of her words, after all, who prefers dying over living?
The taller criminal might have noticed his partner’s hesitation: "Don’t listen to this dead girl, she’s just trying to divide our attention."
