"Ah!! Don't kill me!!! "
Goodman shrieked in agony. He quickly covered his head with both hands and retreated to the innermost part of the car like a madman.
Lin Ruoxi was almost hit by Goodman's crazy movement. Fortunately, Yang Cheng reacted quickly and pulled her to his side. Only then did she survive.
The man in black didn't open fire. He only let out ear-piercing laughter that sounded like the grinding of gears. The other three laughed as well. Obviously, they despised Goodman's cowardice.
Yang Cheng didn't utter a word. He pulled Lin Ruoxi behind him and patiently observed the equipment of the four men in black from head to toe, including the guns in their hands.
In the end, Yang Cheng's gaze locked onto the same pattern on the arms of the four men in black — a golden sun totem.
Yang Cheng squinted his eyes. He didn't recognize this totem. In his memory, there wasn't such a symbol in any mercenary organization or national security organization. Obviously, if this was an organization, it should have appeared in the year after he returned to his country.
Sun … Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at the back of the men in black. He then looked at the totem on their sleeves. The corner of his mouth twitched. He suddenly felt that things were getting interesting.
After the four men in black were done laughing, they nodded at each other and walked forward to pull Goodman, who was hiding in the corner, out of the car.
At this moment, Goodman's body was sore and powerless. He was scared out of his wits and was dragged out as if he had lost his bones.
Yang Cheng raised both of his hands and revealed a frightened expression. He said in French, "I'll walk by myself. I'll walk by myself."
The four men in black didn't say anything. Seeing that Yang Cheng had obediently come out by himself, they were too lazy to do anything. They just waved their rifles and signaled for Lin Ruoxi to come out by herself as well.
Although Lin Ruoxi didn't know what Yang Cheng was planning, she was really scared. No matter what, she was still a woman. No matter how calm she was, it would be good if she didn't cry or make a fuss when she was kidnapped. At this moment, she couldn't think of anything else. Seeing Yang Cheng get out of the car, she quickly followed and hid behind Yang Cheng.
Under the threat of four guns, Yang Cheng and the other two slowly walked toward a dark door not far away. When they reached the door, the steel door was pulled open.
The four men in black pushed the three of them from the back very rudely. After shoving them into the door, they immediately closed the door with a bang.
In the darkness, the damp and cold air seeped into the collar of his clothes. The ground was cold and hard, and there was a moldy smell everywhere.
Goodman's legs were unstable, so he fell to the ground the moment he entered the room. Looking around, it was still pitch black. Even Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi couldn't be seen. With a trembling voice, he asked in French, "Where … Where is this place?" He had long forgotten to speak in Chinese, so he treated it as a soliloquy.
"It's a warehouse."
Suddenly, a pleasant and magnetic male voice came from a dark corner and answered his question.
"Ah!"
Goodman was startled once again. He took a step back, but he did not expect to bump his head against the steel door. He cried out in pain again. It was truly a case of misfortune. He had no time to care about the other side.
Lin Ruoxi was also shocked. She subconsciously held onto Yang Cheng's arm and stuck close to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng smiled and extended his other hand to touch Lin Ruoxi's head. "I'm here. Don't be afraid."
After hearing Yang Cheng's words and touch, Lin Ruoxi realized that she had taken the initiative to stick to Yang Cheng. The two soft lumps of flesh on her chest had directly embedded into Yang Cheng's arm …
Hurriedly moving away, Lin Ruoxi blushed in the dark. She lowered her head and said, "You … You … I … I was just …"
"It was just an instinctive reaction. I know, I know." Yang Cheng smiled even more happily. He enjoyed the touch very much, but it was a pity that Lin Ruoxi had moved away so quickly.
Although everything here was extremely dark, it didn't affect his vision at all. He had always been able to see his surroundings clearly, including the people in the corners.
Turning around, Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone. It wasn't to make a call, but to use it as a flashlight to provide some light in the dark.
Even if he didn't need light, Lin Ruoxi and the terrified Goodman needed to see.
With the light from the mobile phone, Lin Ruoxi and Goodman felt a little better. Meanwhile, Yang Cheng walked toward the corner of the warehouse.
The warehouse was a small room, but it was still more than a hundred square meters. When Yang Cheng walked to the corner, the light from the mobile phone illuminated the two figures hugging each other.
"What an honor to meet you two in such a place. It seems like fate has brought us together." Yang Cheng greeted them in French with a bright smile.
Lin Ruoxi and Goodman had also caught up. Seeing the two people in the corner, Lin Ruoxi slightly frowned while Goodman looked surprised.
It was a man and a woman. The man was leaning against the wall in the corner, while the woman was lying in the man's embrace like a docile kitten. They were so intimate that it felt like they weren't in an ice-cold prison but a warm bed.
The man was wearing a checkered suit and yellow trousers. He had a handsome face and a snow-white complexion. His blonde hair was very eye-catching, especially his seductive blue eyes. There was even a mischievous smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. According to the secular view, such a handsome white man could easily kill 99% of the girls.
The other silver-haired woman was also beautiful. Not only was her natural light silver hair extremely rare, but she also had a curvaceous body and delicate facial features. Her light golden eyes were like the stars in the sky. She was only wearing a light pink spaghetti-strap dress, revealing a large portion of her fair skin.
Even though Yang Cheng was used to seeing all kinds of beauties and had Lin Ruoxi standing next to him, this woman's unique beauty still made his eyes light up.
Lin Ruoxi could not help but snort when she saw Yang Cheng scanning the foreign woman from head to toe.
Yang Cheng immediately turned around and said in Mandarin, "Baby, of course she's not as beautiful as you. I only took a few more glances because of her special hair color." That was the truth. Although the silver-haired woman was beautiful, she was still a distance away from Lin Ruoxi's otherworldly beauty. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, she was probably half a goddess.
"You don't have to explain. Just look if you want to!" Lin Ruoxi pouted. She felt a little better, but she did not seem to have forgiven Yang Cheng.
While the two were talking, the young man and woman did not say anything else. Instead, they gazed at each other lovingly. The man would kiss the corner of the woman's lips from time to time, while the woman would touch the man's cheeks from time to time. The lovey-dovey look of the two made them seem like they were living in their own world.
Looking at the couple who were hugging each other calmly, Goodman finally recognized them. He blinked and said, "Aren't … aren't you … the siblings of the Cromwell Family, Stern and Alice?!"
Stern and Alice finally stopped flirting with each other and turned around to look at Yang Cheng and the other two. In the end, their gazes landed on Goodman.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know you. Are you British?" Stern's magnetic voice spoke again.
"Oh … No, no. It's understandable that you don't know me. I'm the director of the European branch of Yu Lei International. My name is Goodman. I was fortunate enough to meet the two of you during the London Fashion Week two years ago. That's why I remembered you two. "Goodman quickly tidied up his clothes and introduced them in a reserved manner," This is the CEO of Yu Lei International, Madam Lin Ruoxi. This is Director Yang who accompanied us to Paris this time. I didn't expect the two of you to be kidnapped as well. I'm really sorry. "
Yang Cheng admired Goodman a little. This guy was really dedicated to his work. Even after being kidnapped, he was still trying to build a relationship.
"The Cromwell Family …" Lin Ruoxi seemed to have recalled something. She asked, "Goodman, are you saying that the two of them are the descendants of the Cromwell Family from the Lord Protector's Residence?"
"Yes, yes! The Lord Protector's Residence! " Goodman quickly introduced them excitedly, "This is Mr. Stern, the current first-in-line successor to the Cromwell Family. Miss Alice is his twin sister from the same mother."
During the Commonwealth of England in the history of England, Oliver Cromwell, the iron-fisted Lord Protector, abolished the royal power and controlled the army. He could be said to be a formidable figure of his generation. However, due to the fact that his successor couldn't convince the people, it led to the restoration of the dynasty by Charles II. Cromwell's remains were also excavated by the royal family and were subjected to all kinds of post-mortem torture.
However, the Cromwell Family was, after all, a large family that used to have boundless glory. They were wealthy, had a wide network, and had countless loyal men. After several generations of low-profile operations, the surviving bloodline had always played various important roles in the land of England.
Although the Cromwell Family was no longer the Lord Protector's Residence, they still retained the noble title of a hereditary duke. Although they weren't famous, they were recognized as one of the most influential aristocratic families in England in the upper class.
Therefore, even though Lin Ruoxi hadn't spent much time in Europe, she still had a certain understanding of the Cromwell Family.
At this time, Alice also opened her mouth. With a crisp and gentle voice, she said with a smile, "So it's the CEO of Yu Lei International. What a beautiful young sister. I'm so envious. Such a beauty is rare in this world … Isn't that right, dear brother?"
"In my eyes, Alice, you're the most beautiful," Stern said naturally and planted a kiss on Alice's hair.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. She glanced at Goodman and asked, "You're saying … they're siblings from the same mother?"
Goodman smiled bitterly and explained, "Yes. Although they're siblings, they're a publicly known intimate couple in the upper class and received the blessings of many people. No one in the Cromwell Family objected to it, so … so it's always been like this. It's no secret."
"Isn't it just nonsense? I've seen this a lot. It's nothing. It's great to have such a beautiful sibling couple." Yang Cheng laughed nonchalantly.
"You know so much." Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Cheng. She was about to faint. What's going on?! I was kidnapped as soon as I arrived in Paris and locked in a warehouse somewhere. I even ran into a mysterious noble sibling couple?!
Yang Chen, on the other hand, was very interested. He squatted down and aimed his phone at the siblings. Grinning, he asked, "Hey, stop licking each other's tongues. Tell me how you guys got here. What's the situation here?"
