"Raise your hand."

Qin Xiaotao brought her hands up from behind her back and lowered her head, using her teeth to bite the rope that bound her hands.

After biting it twice, the rope seemed to loosen a bit. He looked at the group of people again and only continued after seeing no reaction.

After a while, the rope was completely loosened.

She quickly pulled on the rope and withdrew her hand. Shen Ximing turned around and stretched out his hand.

Both of them were untied, but they were still sitting against the wall, as if they had been released from prison.

Shen Xi Ming held her hand tightly and stared at the group of people.

Qin Xiaotao felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She was breathing rapidly and her whole body was heaving. Sweat trickled down her face.

She bit her lips tightly, as if she was trying to block her heart that was about to jump out. It was as if she was afraid that her tight breathing would be heard.

Shen Xuming whispered in her ear, "Follow me and run, don't let go."

She nodded vigorously and turned her head to look at the side of his face. The young man's eyes were slightly narrowed, his dark eyes firmly fixed on the front. Although his face was covered in filth, Qin Xiaodi felt that he was incredibly good-looking.

The man who had just gone out to pee returned. He casually held the door behind him and left a gap. The side door of the storage room, the place where those people ate the hotpot, and the place where Shen Xi and the others stayed, were practically an equilateral triangle.

Shen Xi Ming's eyes suddenly widened, it was now, "Run." He whispered, and almost at the same time, he pulled Qin Xiaoshui along and ran to the door.

The few of them quickly reacted, but in the end, they were still a step too late.

The two of them ran outside the house, and Shen Ximing casually grabbed a wooden stick from the side and placed it across the door, blocking the exit.

After exiting the warehouse, the first thing he saw was a forest. This warehouse looked as if it was built in the middle of the forest. The two panicked and had no choice but to run towards the only path.

The road was covered with weeds and thistles, and it seemed like no one had been here for a long time. Qin Xiaotao tightly held onto his hand and followed behind him. As she looked at the boy's hair, which was fluttering up as he ran, and the side of his head, she felt that as long as she didn't let go, she wasn't that scary.

"Ah!" The road was overgrown with weeds. They didn't notice that they were on a steep slope. Qin Xiaoshui slipped when her foot missed.

"Big brother Shen, save me." She looked up at the boy, her face red with exertion, but her hand that was being held was gradually losing its strength.

"Qin Xiaohai, don't let go." Shen Ximing's voice seemed to come from his throat.

"Big Brother Shen, Big Brother Shen, I'm tired." She said this in a broken voice, and the pain in her arm made her dizzy.

Shen Xi Ming didn't let go of her hand. His other hand was holding onto a branch, but now he slowly let go. He held her with both hands, but when his other hand touched her, his body began to slide down due to the lack of force.

"Ah ~" "Ah ~" The two of them fell down at the same time.

Shen Xi Ming held her to his chest, but luckily, the slope wasn't very high. Soon, the two landed on the flat ground.

Shen Xi's brows furrowed deeply, lowering his head and asking: "Are you injured?"

Qin Xiaohai was still in a state of shock, but when she looked at herself, she did not feel any pain, so she said, "No." When he raised his head, he saw traces of blood on the young man's body, scattered irregularly on his body and face.

"Big brother Shen, you're injured." she exclaimed.

Shen Ximing quickly put his finger to his mouth, making a gesture of silence.

However, their actions earlier had already attracted the kidnappers' attention. They were already rushing towards them.

He vaguely heard the voices of those people, "Big Brother, they seem to be over there."

"Let's go take a look."

The two of them stood up softly and bent their bodies as they carefully moved to the other side. When they reached the shelter, they started to run again, ignoring everything else.

However, the voice came from behind once again. It sounded distant, but was obviously approaching.

Qin Xiaohai felt dizzy, the sweat in his palms making it difficult for her to hold his hand. "Big brother Shen, I can't run anymore."

Shen Xi Ming dragged her to a pile of weeds, and the two of them hid behind it. Shen Xi Ming carefully poked his head out, but the group of people had already caught up to them.

"Then, then what about you?" she gasped.

"I'll lure them away. Remember, run in that direction." With that, he closed his eyes and shook his head, as if to make himself more clear-headed. Then he took a deep breath and ran in the other direction.

"Shen …" Before she could open her mouth, he was already out of sight of the kidnappers.

"Hey, where are they?"

"Quickly chase, stop …"

The voice of the kidnapper made her quickly shrink back. Hearing their footsteps, she followed Shen Xi Ming. After a while, everything quieted down. She looked in the direction Shen Xi had left in, and after hesitating for a while, decided to run in the opposite direction.

Only, things didn't go according to Shen Xi Ming's plan. Qin Xiaohai had only taken a few steps when he was caught by the kidnappers behind him.

She kept running forward, and the sounds behind her caused the fear in her heart to continuously rise. Shen Xi wasn't by her side, she only felt that a huge danger was approaching, she couldn't break free, she couldn't escape.

Her legs were weak and her dizziness was getting worse. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell forward.

When he turned around again, that group of people were already behind him. "Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

Her heart was beating wildly, and she was trembling in fear. She subconsciously shrank back.

The person in front of her glared fiercely at her. "You're still trying to run away, aren't you?" It seemed that they were extremely dissatisfied with her for increasing their workload.

He raised the stick in his hand and held it out in front of her. "I'll see if you can run." As he spoke, he raised the stick and was about to smash it down.

Qin Xiaoshui felt dizzy, and closed her eyes subconsciously to block it with her hands.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the boy standing in front of her, bathed in the light of the trees, the tips of his hair caught in the light, and she could not see his face.

"Alright, the two of them are together now, right? I want you to run, I want you to run, there's a path to heaven, but you won't go. Hell has no doors, you broke in. F * ck, beat me up …" As he spoke, his hands did not stop moving.

"Little bastard, you're still not running away? You're still not running away …"

The others didn't show any mercy as they waved the sticks in their hands while swearing.

Shen Xi Ming stood protectively in front of her, but a few sticks were still on her body. She tightly clenched her teeth, not allowing herself to make even the slightest sound.

"Wait a minute, don't get beaten to death, this kid is still worth a lot of money."

Later, they were dragged back to the old warehouse. With the experience from before, the group did not dare to leave them alone, so they left one person to guard them. Originally, they only had their arms tied, but now, their feet were tied as well.

That person seemed to be extremely impatient, looking at them with a murderous intent in his eyes.
