Hearing Yang Cheng's question, Stern reluctantly stopped his entanglement with his sister. He leisurely straightened his body and leaned against the wall. Shrugging, he said, "As you can see, we're being held in a warehouse. As for why I know this is a warehouse, it's because we were kidnapped when we left the hotel in the afternoon. Although we were blindfolded, we could at least see that we were entering a warehouse. The network signals here are all jammed, so we can't call for help from the outside … Oh right, there are quite a number of single warehouses here. We heard someone calling for help, so there should be quite a number of people locked up here. "
"Could it be that the rumors are true? That there's a terrorist organization that kidnapped the rich?" Goodman asked bitterly.
"I do know." Stern was rather relaxed. He looked at Alice in his arms affectionately and said, "We're only here for the fashion week. We didn't expect to encounter such a thing. But no matter what, as long as I'm with my Alice, it doesn't matter even if I die. "
Lin Ruoxi, who couldn't stand the siblings, had already turned around. Since she couldn't understand French, she could only speak in English, "Can you guys communicate in English? I'm the only one who can understand."
"Oh, I'm sorry, General Lin. I'll be careful," Stern apologized politely in standard English with a London accent.
It'd be better if they could stop kissing and making it less mushy, Lin Ruoxi thought in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Yang Chen scanned his surroundings. He could sense that he was in a rather large warehouse, and he wasn't the only one who was being held captive. However, he was curious as to why these people would kidnap a bunch of rich and nobles without doing anything. What was their intention?
Alice crawled out of Stern's embrace and flirted with her silver hair. She said coquettishly, "I really want to take a shower. The floor here is too dirty. How do you guys think we should contact the guards outside?"
Goodman's face twitched as he laughed dryly. "Miss Alice, now isn't the time to talk about how to take a shower. We're still being kidnapped."
"Why not? Just because you're kidnapped doesn't mean you can't take a shower, "Alice blinked her big, watery eyes innocently. Then, she stood up and walked towards the warehouse door with the help of her phone's light.
The dumbfounded Goodman hurriedly shouted, "Miss Alice! It's too dangerous! "
"It's okay. I'm so cute and charming. How could they bear to kill me?" Alice did not listen at all. She giggled and walked to the warehouse door. She knocked on the door a few times and shouted in English, "Someone come quickly, I want to take a shower!"
Lin Ruoxi, who was standing behind Yang Cheng, opened her mouth slightly. She even suspected that the strange siblings might have escaped from a mental asylum. She couldn't help but ask Yang Cheng, "Don't you think they're weird? Who would want to take a bath at this time?"
Yang Cheng stroked the sparse stubble on his chin. He did not have the time to shave due to the flight. He said, "What's wrong with that? Just don't treat them as normal people."
Lin Ruoxi felt a headache coming. She regretted saying that to Yang Cheng. This guy had never been normal. Of course, he wouldn't think that the siblings from the Cromwell family were abnormal.
Unexpectedly, she heard someone approaching the warehouse door when she thought that it would be useless for Alice to shout.
Clank!
The big iron gate was pulled open again, and a man in black who had appeared just now stood outside the gate with a gun in his hand. He said in an obviously electronically altered voice, "We only provide food and water. There is no other service. Please leave."
"They're so humane," Lin Ruoxi said coldly without any expression.
Alice, however, refused. She said coquettishly, "Aiya, why is it like this? Is there no bathroom? It's so dirty and damp here. I want to take a shower. I want to go to the bathroom. You can't possibly ask a young and beautiful lady to do that kind of thing in a place like this … "
As she spoke, Alice stood in front of the guard and stomped her feet. She looked exactly like a kindergartener.
"Haha, Stern, your sister … Oh no, your woman is so cute, haha …" Yang Chen chuckled as he looked at Alice's expression.
Stern's eyes were full of love. He said, "Do you think so too, Mr. Yang? That's right. My little Alice has always been the cutest woman."
Lin Ruoxi, who was standing at the side, felt a little nauseous when she heard this. She stared at Yang Cheng hatefully. This guy actually has the mood to talk nonsense with this crazy pair of siblings!?
The guard outside the door was also stunned. He could not figure out how a hostage could still be in the mood to act coquettishly. However, he obviously would not listen to Alice. He raised his voice and berated, "Go in! If you make any more noise, I'll shoot you! "
Seeing that the gun was aimed at her, Alice screamed, "Ah! Annoying! How can you treat a lady like this?! "
"Do you think I don't dare to shoot?" The guard was a little annoyed. He finally put his hands on the gun.
Alice pouted and turned around unhappily. She said to Yang Cheng and the others in the corner, "My dear, they won't let me take a bath. What should I do?"
Stern thought about it seriously, but he could only shake his head. "My dear, I have no other way. I don't know if Mr. Yang or Madam Lin has any ideas. My little Alice really needs a bath. If she doesn't take a bath for a day, she will feel very uncomfortable."
"I can give it a try," Yang Chen said as he raised his hand.
The guard naturally ignored the gossip of these prisoners in the warehouse. After pushing Alice back, he planned to close the door. However, before the guard outside the warehouse closed the iron door, Yang Cheng had already walked to the door and pressed the half-closed iron door.
"Don't be in such a hurry. We can talk about it. Do me a favor!" Yang Cheng said to the guard with a smile.
"Do you want to leave this world early?" the guard asked fiercely.
Seeing that Yang Cheng dared to provoke the guard in front of him, although Lin Ruoxi had enough trust in Yang Cheng, her heart was still in her throat. She wanted to go forward to stop Yang Cheng, but Goodman stopped her.
"Ruoxi, don't go up! It's too dangerous! "Goodman shouted in a panic.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't care less. She used all her strength to shake Goodman off. However, before she could reach the door, she heard a loud bang from the iron door!
Lin Ruoxi turned around and realized that Yang Cheng had gone out with the guard. The warehouse returned to its pitch-black state!
"Yang Cheng!"
Lin Ruoxi called out, but she didn't hear any response.
Tut tut tut tut!!!
All of a sudden, the sound of a machine gun being fired echoed through the warehouse!!
Then, there was no sound from outside the door …
The sudden change in the situation rendered Lin Ruoxi speechless. She stared at the door in a daze, and there was only one voice in her mind — that man will be fine!
But somehow, even though she had full confidence in Yang Cheng, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but tear up. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.
"Director … Director Yang, he … he's …" Goodman couldn't think of any other possibilities. From his perspective, even with the iron door between them, he could still see that Yang Cheng's body had been pierced by a bullet!
Stern had taken out his phone. With the help of the light, he walked to the door with Alice in his arms. As if he was taking a stroll in the park, he reached for the warehouse door, wanting to open it.
"No!" Seeing this, Goodman quickly ran forward and stopped Stern. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Mr. Stern, please don't be impulsive! Director Yang has already been killed. We can't repeat the same mistake! As long as we're alive, we'll have a chance to escape … "
Before Goodman could finish, Yang Cheng's lazy voice came from outside the door. "Hey, hey, Little Gu, who did you say died? You can't curse people behind the door."
Goodman quivered and turned around. Coincidentally, the iron door had been pulled open again.
It was unknown when Yang Cheng had lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. In the dark, the cigarette butt was especially red, as if it was the most unique fluorescent light in the dark.
Yang Cheng was still holding the automatic rifle that belonged to the guard. The guard was lying on the ground, motionless, with Yang Cheng stepping on his head. It seemed like he was dead!
"You … How did you …" Goodman stared at Yang Cheng, dumbfounded. His mind was in a mess.
Alice clapped her hands and smiled. "Mr. Yang is so awesome. It seems like we can return to the hotel to take a shower. Can Mr. Yang kill all these bad guys?"
"Hehe, you're too kind. I just randomly fired a few shots. Who knew that the guard would hold his gun the wrong way? He died the moment I pulled the trigger," Yang Cheng said with a sigh.
"How … how is that possible?" Goodman broke out in cold sweat. However, he was convinced. After all, he didn't think that Yang Cheng could defeat these kidnappers.
Yang Cheng raised his head proudly. "Why not? I'll cover it up for you again."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng picked up the rifle in his hand again. He turned around and fired a series of shots at the darkness behind him. He didn't forget to blow a few rings of smoke from his mouth. His roguish look made Goodman roll his eyes.
"Hahahaha, Little Gu, did you see that? It's just shooting. It's simple, simple." Yang Chen turned around and patted Goodman's stiff shoulder while holding the gun in one hand.
Goodman came back to his senses and shouted, "Are … are you crazy?! You're going to attract his companions over like this! Hmm? Oh right, Director Yang, how did I become Little Gu all of a sudden?! "
"Hmm? Could it be that you're my sister-in-law? Sister-In-Law … Hmm, it doesn't sound too bad, "Yang Cheng said with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi walked out of the warehouse. Her footsteps were gentle as she stood in front of Yang Cheng. She stared at Yang Cheng silently.
Under the dim light of the phone, Lin Ruoxi's hazy face carried a hint of coldness. Her pair of bright eyes that resembled autumn swans were filled with crystal-clear tears.
"Baby Ruoxi, why are you …" Yang Cheng also forgot to suck on the cigarette in his mouth. Looking at Lin Ruoxi's calm and beautiful face, his heart somehow felt heavy.
"It's amazing, isn't it? It's amazing to be able to kill the guards, isn't it?" Lin Ruoxi's tone was as flat as the cold wind on the ice field. "Is it fun to scare people? Do you think it's fun to keep people on tenterhooks for you?"
"Erm, I …" Yang Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he realized that he didn't know how to express his feelings and thoughts at this moment. It was as if there were hundreds of foreign languages and countless words in his mind, but none of them could help him. He couldn't help but be stunned …
Lin Ruoxi didn't intend to listen to Yang Cheng's reply. After looking at Yang Cheng deeply, she took out her phone and walked out with the help of the light from the flashlight.
Although he didn't understand the situation and couldn't understand the relationship between Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, Goodman, who had just been promoted to 'sister-in-law', hurriedly chased after her when he saw that Lin Ruoxi was about to leave. He shouted, "Ruoxi! Ruoxi! Don't be rash! If you walk out like this, you'll be easily discovered by the remaining guards! "
Lin Ruoxi turned a deaf ear as if she didn't hear Goodman's words at all.
"It's fine …"
Yang Cheng finally recovered from his petrified state. He turned around and followed Lin Ruoxi's direction and said, "No one will stop me."
"How do you know?" Goodman asked suspiciously.
Yang Cheng glanced at him and said, "Because they're all dead."
"Ah?" Goodman suspected that he had misheard, but when he saw that Yang Cheng didn't look like he was lying, he felt that it was the truth.
The Stern siblings, on the other hand, didn't seem to be afraid of anything. They happily held hands and followed behind Yang Cheng.
Seeing this, Goodman couldn't be bothered anymore. He immediately took out his phone and tried to widen his field of view as much as possible. Then, he followed Yang Cheng and the others to explore the exit.
At this moment, Yang Chen had already walked to Lin Ruoxi's side. Glancing at the woman whose face was as cold as a lake, the corners of his mouth slightly curled into a complicated smile. Before Lin Ruoxi could react, Yang Chen used his left hand to grab her right hand.
"What are you doing?" Lin Ruoxi stopped and asked coldly.
"I'm holding your hand and bringing you out," Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"You don't have to be so kind. I'm just an ordinary person. My life and death don't matter to me. Since you're so powerful, you can do whatever you want!" Lin Ruoxi sneered.
Yang Cheng's face turned bitter. He looked like he was begging. He bent down and got closer to Lin Ruoxi's face. He lowered his voice and said, "My dear wife, don't be angry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have always been playing by myself and made you worry about me. I promise that I'll report to you first and bring you with me whenever I need to. I'll bring you when I need to eat, I'll bring you when I need to go out, I'll bring you when I need to go shopping, I'll bring you when I'm killing people, I'll bring you when I'm torturing people … Oh right, I'll bring you when I'm going out to pick up girls, okay?! "
Lin Ruoxi's ears were burning from the series of inexplicable words. She glared at Yang Cheng with her almond-shaped eyes and couldn't maintain her cold expression anymore. She giggled and said, "Who wants to go to the toilet with you? You … Don't think too highly of yourself."
"Hehe, as long as you're not angry, dear." Yang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. Coaxing his wife was much more tiring than coaxing his lover. Sure enough, the "maintenance fee" of a "legitimate" married couple was also high. Fortunately, it was settled for the time being and a cold war was avoided.
Although Yang Cheng spoke very softly, Stern and Alice, who were walking closer, could still see the small details of their movements and expressions. The siblings kept winking at each other.
Lin Ruoxi was also embarrassed. She had just felt that they were mushy, and now she was suddenly flirting with this man. She pinched the soft flesh on Yang Cheng's waist and let it go.
Yang Cheng didn't feel any pain, but to cater to a woman's psychology, he pretended to be in pain and made a painful expression. He then smiled and said, "We don't have to look for the main door. We can just find our car and drive back to Paris. They won't park the car outside the warehouse. That's too low profile."
Lin Ruoxi agreed. Stern and Alice, of course, didn't have any objections. As long as they could take a quick shower, they could do anything.
At this moment, Goodman, who was walking slightly behind them and had been in a tense state, let out a tragic scream!
"Ah!! Help!! "
