1194 Uncle, be gentle!

Because she had been trapped in an underground cell, which was dark and wet, her eyes could not get used to the light momentarily!

It took awhile for her to adjust to the newfound light, and when her vision finally became clearer, what she saw in front took her by surprise!

Studying the surroundings, she saw that she was standing on a hilltop where she could see far and wide.

There was a row of army vehicles parked nearby, but what attracted her attention was the tall and distinctive figure of Mu Yazhe amid the crowd.

Beside him was Yun Tianyou.

Youyou?!

She was stunned and unconsciously called out to him, but she was unfortunately gagged so she could not make any sound. Leaning forward, she subconsciously tried to run toward them.

Behind her, a fully armed man walked up, grabbed a hold of her, and ordered threateningly, "Don't move! Stand still!"

The coolness of the gun mouth was pointed at her temple the next second.

She dared not move again at that and settled for looking at father-son pair with teary eyes.

The man watched her with a steady gaze, as if consoling her wordlessly!

The boy instantly recognized his mother on that steep slope looking helpless and desolate with her watery eyes while surrounded by several armed soldiers.

Mommy, don't be afraid…

He called out to her inwardly and exchanged glances with his father.

Both looked at each other knowingly.

"Let's begin!"

"Exchange hostages now!"

With his father's men escorting him, the boy walked up and let the approaching soldiers from Mu Lianjue's side examine him from head to toe.

Soon, their vision fell on the watch on his wrist!

"What is this?!"

"This is a watch!" replied the boy, trying to look calm.

"Take it off!"

Taken aback, he did not react instantly.

This only aroused the man's suspicion, shouting, "Remove it; do you hear me?!"

"…" He remained still.

Without saying another word, the man walked up, plucked the watch off his wrist roughly, and threw it far away.

"Uncle, I'm just a kid. Can you be gentler? You'll frighten me this way…" he said meekly.

Behind them, his father also furrowed in shock. "He's just a child; why are you making things difficult for him?!"

The man's words were cold and his eyes gleamed dangerously and powerfully.

The soldier's action softened due to his presence.

After that, another bunch crowded around the boy to check him all over again. All items on him—phone, communication devices, and even a button—were removed!

The boy sniggered in his heart.

These people are rather professional!

They won't even let a button go!

Unfortunately, he did hide a location tracking chip inside the button that they removed.

Snorting, the man did not acknowledge him and only took out a piece of handcuffs to put on him.

After that, he was blindfolded and pushed along the way.

Youyou followed them obediently.

At the same time, his mother was pushed along by the men standing on the other side.

Both troops drew closer to each other.
