555 He’s Here (2)
It was impossible for a high and mighty person like Princess Ming An to have anything to do with some small fry. However, if the kidnappers weren’t just some hooligans, why would they be willing to take such a risk to help Princess Ming An? If they got caught, Shen Xin would find a thousand ways to make them suffer
Therefore, those people must have a certain official status and were extremely eager to climb higher even at a heavy cost. Who would they be? Shen Miao couldn’t think of anyone.
For some reason, the first thing Shen Miao thought of was that if Xie Jingxing took action, he should be able to find her very quickly because he had the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop behind him. The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop had an intelligence network covering every cranny and nook of the capital.
Shen Miao could only hope that Xie Jingxing would find her as soon as possible.
She struggled to retract her hand into her sleeve. The kidnappers tied her up extremely tightly. Shen Miao almost scraped her wrist before touching the hairpin in her sleeve.
This hairpin was specially made by her. Ever since she was reborn, for safety’s sake, she had specially made a hairpin. The tip of the hairpin was bent into a hook. At the critical moment, she could probably use it to stab the other party’s eyes. This was a method she learned in the palace in her previous life, but at the moment, she could use it to wear down the rope that was tied to her limbs.
Just as she was about to do it, she heard footsteps outside. Shen Miao quickly stuffed the hairpin back into her sleeve and leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, pretending to be unconscious.
The door opened, and there seemed to be more than one person walking in.
One of them said, “The entire capital is under watch. At this rate, when will we be able to transport her away?”
Another person replied, “What are you panicking for? She’s in our hands. We can wait until they give up on her.”
There were two people. Shen Miao thought to herself. From what they said, it seemed like they were only temporarily keeping her here. In the end, they would still send her away. Where could Princess Ming An send her to? It couldn’t be a good place. She was slightly relieved that Shen Xin quickly locked down the capital. Now that the entire city was heavily guarded, it would be difficult for them to send her away. At least for the time being, she would not be in any danger.
However… Why did their voices sound familiar? However, Shen Miao was pretending to be asleep and could not open her eyes to look.
One of them said with uncertainty, “Why isn’t she awake yet? Did we hit her too hard?”
“Second Brother, are you still in the mood to care if she wakes or not?” Another person said, “Don’t worry, even if Shen Miao never wakes up, Princess will still be happy. You’ve seen her attitude. The more miserable Shen Miao is, the better. It doesn’t matter if she’s dead or alive.”
“I’m just worried.” The person called “Second Brother” sounded worried. “If Father finds out about this…”
“So what if Father finds out? Don’t forget that you and I are his sons too. Ever since that little bastard died, Father can only rely on us in the future.” That person said, “Besides, the Xie and Shen families are not on good terms to begin with. Do you think Father will turn in his sons for his enemy?”
