Just as Mu Yazhe reached out, Yun Shishi was softly placed into his embrace.
Her body was as light as a feather and frighteningly skinny. She was completely covered in blood and wounds. They were so sinister-looking that his eyes hurt!
He hugged her tightly.
Somehow, the man felt as if he had just regained something he had lost!
He thought that he was going to lose her!
She was now in his embrace, albeit her body was so skinny and small that she could not even fill his entire arms. Nonetheless, she felt so real!
With an aching heart, he held her close to him. He raised his head, only to see Yun Tianyou being pushed in a car. As the car door closed, it was as if he had been cut off from the rest of the world.
With knitted brows, he said in a low voice, "Let's head back!"
"Yes, boss!"
Min Yu opened the car door for his boss and his lady to get in. Thereafter, they sped away.
As the two vehicles drove in opposite directions, they became gradually further apart.
…
Inside the underground warehouse.
The heavy shutters were gradually opened.
Mu Yichen stood up fiercely and looked at the entrance nervously.
However, instead of Yun Shishi's return, a shocking figure came through the doors.
Youyou?!
"Get in!"
The man pushed the boy harshly.
Yun Tianyou staggered through the shutters. The moment he stumbled inside, he immediately felt the cold air in the warehouse.
As the shutters closed, the blindfold covering his eyes was removed, and his senses were swiftly assailed by an odor mixed with blood. He frowned, disgusted by the fishy smell. Once he got used to the dark environment, he looked around his surroundings before his gaze fell on his twin, who was currently locked up.
"Big brother…" Just as he uttered his name, a man kicked him from behind. Caught unprepared, he lost his balance and fell to the floor.
The older boy yelled angrily, "What are you doing?! Don't touch him!"
"Shut up, brat!"
The man grunted. Sweeping his cold gaze onto the younger lad, he said apathetically, "Stand up!"
"Be gentle. How can you call yourself a man if you are so violent with a child?" Youyou scoffed as he stood up.
The man raised an eyebrow. Don't judge this kid based on his age; his words are just that of an adult's.
He sneered and moved to shove him when the latter continued coldly. "Don't touch me!"
"Kid, behave yourself!"
"I know how to walk by myself!" The lad cast the man a sidelong glance as he interjected, yet he voluntarily allowed himself to be locked up sans a resistance.
He was being unexpectedly obedient!
"Youyou…"
The latter shushed him and gave him a meaningful gaze.
Due to the brothers' tacit understanding, the older one understood the meaning behind his look. He shut his mouth obediently without another word.
Soon enough, the younger one's legs and hands were chained up. The brothers were separated, one at each side.
The man exited the warehouse thereafter, leaving a few soldiers to stand guard.
In Mu Lianjue's eyes, two seven-year-olds were a lot easier to control than a full-grown adult.
Children were simple and timid, and they would settle down after a few threats!
The man thought so truly.
The sky had gradually turned dark.
After a long period of concentration, the soldiers on guard were beginning to feel sleepy.
