After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Tao Tao held her breath and kept telling herself to calm down.

She asked, "Where's my whistle?"

Yi'an paused as he was picking up food for her and asked with a smile, "Whistle?" He took out a whistle from his arms, the same one that Tao Tao had used before.

Tao Tao hurriedly took it and blew it several times at lightning speed.

Just when Tao Tao thought that the news of her safety had been conveyed, several whistles suddenly sounded from Yi An's body.

Tao Tao's expression froze, and she looked up to see Yi An looking at her with a smile on his face.

"I threw away yours." Yi An said, "You can use this from now on. If you have any problems, call me. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Tao Tao stared at the thing in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly.

"Why did you lose my whistle?" Tao Tao asked.

Yi An smiled and said, "Don't throw it away. I'll wait for you to tell them that you are safe."

Tao Tao said nothing, held back her tears and picked up the bowl to eat.

When Yian saw this, he reached out to pick up some food for her.

His words just now made Tao Tao suddenly think of a crucial point:

When Xiaoman goes back, they already know that Yi'an has taken her away, and they must be looking for her all over the world. Yi'an took her whistle to prevent her from reporting that she is safe. Once they know that she is fine, they will definitely keep looking for her. So, will Yi'an do anything to make them give up the search?

Thinking of this, Tao Tao looked up at him, and Yi An also looked at her. Tao Tao then retracted her gaze and looked at the bowl silently.

She really couldn't guess what Yi'an would do next. He was too thoughtful and always had more than one way out of his actions, so she couldn't guess for sure.

Just as she was thinking about it, Tao Tao suddenly realized that he was not eating and kept looking at her.

"What are you looking at me for?" she asked.

Yi An smiled and said, "A Tao, we haven't had this for a long time."

Tao Tao slowly put down the bowl, flashing through the previous events in her mind, her expression turned cold, and she said, "You did those things, otherwise our relationship would still be like that of friends. When you did that, did you consider my feelings?"

"Friends?" Yi An was as if he had heard a joke. "I never thought that our relationship would stop at just friends."

Tao Tao turned her head away and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Yi An suddenly sneered and said, "A Tao, you have always regretted meeting me. Now that you are by my side, I might as well tell you that I was the one who arranged your kidnapping in Zhaoding City."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tao Tao turned her head and widened her eyes.

Yi An blinked: "Don't be surprised, Tao, I just wanted to get to know you."

He recalled the scene of that day. Tao Tao was wearing a strange skirt and holding a small umbrella in her hand. She was obviously afraid of everything around her, but when she tried to help, her whole person changed. She looked gentle on the outside, but spoke with confidence.

"So...you asked someone to kidnap me?" Tao Tao asked with trembling lips.

Yi An nodded and said with a smile: "A Tao, if it wasn't for me that day, you would have bumped into Yi Qing not far away."

A basin of cold water was poured on Tao Tao's head. She felt as if her whole body was wrapped in a layer of ice. She could not move and only felt cold. Her eyeballs could barely move, but she turned away in a daze, staring at Yi An with blank eyes.

She was supposed to meet Yiqing that day, but her act of saving people on the street attracted Yian's attention, so he had a few people kidnap her and then acted as a hero saving the beauty. Naturally, she was grateful to him.

Should she regret saving that lady? If she hadn't saved her, Yi An wouldn't have noticed her, she would have known Yi Qing first, she wouldn't have been used by Yi An, she wouldn't have been hurt by him, and now she wouldn't have been tied up and locked up by him!

She couldn't. She was a doctor, how could she just stand by and watch someone die? She could only blame herself for being stupid and blindly trusting him, which led to everything that happened later.

After a while, Yi An realized that something was wrong with Tao Tao, so he leaned over to her and said, "A Tao, don't think about it. I told you this because I want you to know that the fate between us was created by me."

Tao Tao just looked at him silently, her expression frozen, and after a while she slowly said, "I'm done eating, you go out."

Yi An said: "We sleep together at night."

Tao Tao gritted her teeth and said, "If you do that, I will die in front of you."

Yi An frowned, and the two just looked at each other. Finally, they compromised. He said helplessly: "At least let me watch you fall asleep."

Tao Tao turned around, lowered her head and wiped her tears.

There were a few knocks on the door, and Zifei said from outside: "Sir, I have something to tell you."

Yi An walked up to Tao Tao, squatted down, and said softly, "A Tao, please stop crying. I'll come to see you in the evening."

Tao Tao didn't answer. He reached out and wiped the tears hanging down her cheeks, then picked her up, put her on the bed, and put handcuffs on her.

During the whole process, Tao Tao didn't say anything or struggle, as if she had lost her soul.

After he left, Tao Tao buried her face in the pillow, sobbed for a while, and then raised her head.

"Regret, regret is useless." She warned herself, her voice tearful and unexpectedly firm.

No matter how much she regretted it, the fact had already happened. All she could do was to change the present. For example, they were already halfway successful. As long as she escaped and eliminated the last threat, everything would be the same as before she was caught. What was happening now was just a nightmare.

Besides, why should the fault be hers alone? It was Yi An who deceived her. He was the culprit.

Tao Tao confirmed her thoughts again and her tears immediately stopped.

It was getting dark and Yi'an hadn't come yet, so Xuntao arrived first.

After applying the medicine, Xun Tao packed up and was about to go out. Tao Tao grabbed her hand, waited for Xun Tao to look at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Xun Tao, this name is not your real name."

Xun Tao was stunned and said, "The young master gave it to me after he redeemed me."

Tao Tao sighed in her heart, she knew this was the case.

"So what's your original name?"

"Xun...Xun Yan." Xun Tao looked into her clear eyes and spoke with a stutter.

Tao Tao lowered her head, sighed softly, then raised her head and smiled, "Xun Yan, is Yi An usually nice to you?"

She didn't dare to ask Xun Yan for help directly. After all, she was rescued by Yi An. If Yi An was good to Xun Yan, then if she rashly asked her for help, Xun Yan might not only not help her, but might also tell Yi An that she asked for help.

If he treats her badly, she can seek help from Xunyan and persuade her to go with him, using the bargaining chip of finding a good place for her after she gets out.

Xun Tao didn't expect her to ask this, and blurted out: "The young master is very good to me."

What she said was indeed true. Yi An was really good to her, both in terms of food, clothing and attitude towards her. Even though he would get close to her from time to time, it never came to the final step.

Xun Tao suddenly thought that Yi An had not been close to her for a long time. She looked at Tao Tao with more fear and doubt in her eyes - could it be because of Miss Tao?

Tao Tao did not notice her expression change. She lowered her head and said softly, "Is that so."

Xun Tao immediately understood what she was thinking. She wanted him to help her escape!

Tao Tao had already let go of her. She stood up, her hands trembling as she packed her things. Although she looked calm on the surface, her heart was already shaken.

Should she take the initiative to help Tao Tao? To be honest, she had selfish motives. She was worried that if Tao Tao stayed here, Yi An would drive her away soon, and she would return to that wolf den. Even if she didn't go back, she couldn't survive outside.

As long as Tao Tao leaves, she will always stay with Yi An, right?

What's more... Xuntao glanced at Tao Tao. She was leaning on the bed with a lonely look on her face.

She didn't want to stay here either. If she left, it would be good for both her and Tao Tao.

Xun made up her mind and tightened her grip on the wooden tray. She put the tray on the table, quietly walked to Tao Tao and sat down, and said softly, "Miss Tao, do you want me to help you... leave here?"
