Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Li Mubai turned and left first, and He Yaoyao immediately pointed at Xie Tingxuan and shouted, "You get out too."

Xie Tingxuan looked at He Yaoyao, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just sighed softly, put the takeaway in his hand on the table, and slowly turned and left.

When he reached the door, he stopped, without looking back, and just said: "Yaoyao, no matter what, I hope you will be happy."

He Yaoyao looked at Xie Tingxuan's departing back, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She walked to the window and looked at the bustling night scene outside. Her mind was full of thoughts and she felt unprecedented loneliness.

"Xia Cheng, I am useless after all. I want to take him by force but I can't do it."

"Since this method doesn't work, try another one, such as the self-torture trick, or have someone tie her and Xie Tingxuan up and see if Xie Tingxuan will abandon her and escape alone. If so, she will be desperate for Xie Tingxuan and won't want to be with him anymore."

A dark glint flashed in Li Mubai's eyes.

……

The next day, when He Yaoyao got off work, she felt like she was being followed by a strange man.

He Yaoyao quickened her pace, feeling uneasy.

She looked around, trying to find the figure of the suspected stalker, but the crowd around her was so bustling that she couldn't be sure who it was.

She quickly walked into a relatively secluded alley, hoping to escape possible pursuit.

However, just as she was about to walk out of the alley, a rough voice suddenly rang out: "He Yaoyao, don't run away, we have been looking for you for a long time."

He Yaoyao was startled, stopped and turned around.

She saw two strange men standing not far away, approaching her step by step.

There was a hint of hostility in their eyes, which made He Yaoyao feel frightened.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" He Yaoyao forced herself to remain calm and tried to ask the other party's purpose.

One of the men chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that you come with us."

He Yaoyao realized that the situation was not good, so she turned around and tried to escape, but the two men quickly stepped forward and sandwiched her between them, one on the left and one on the right.

"Let me go, this is illegal!" He Yaoyao shouted loudly, but the passers-by around seemed to turn a blind eye and hurried past without anyone offering a helping hand.

The two men ignored He Yaoyao's struggles and cries and forcibly carried her into a van parked at the entrance of the alley.

He Yaoyao struggled desperately in the car, but it was of no avail. She could only watch herself being taken away.

After an unknown amount of time, the van stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. The two men dragged He Yaoyao out of the van and pushed her into the warehouse.

The warehouse was dark, with only a few dim light bulbs flickering faintly. He Yaoyao was roughly pushed to the ground. She struggled to get up and looked at the two men in front of her warily.

"What exactly do you want to do?" He Yaoyao asked again.

One of the men sneered and said, "Let's play a game!"

Then he started making phone calls, calling Xie Nicholas Tse and Li Mubai respectively.

He turned on the speakerphone, so He Yaoyao could hear it clearly.

The same sentence:

I have kidnapped your beloved woman. If you want to save her, you have to raise 500,000 yuan separately.

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then Xie Tingxuan's anxious voice came: "Don't hurt her. I can give you money, but I want to ensure her safety."

The man smiled smugly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you behave, we won't make things difficult for her. Remember, you can only come alone, and don't call the police, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

After hanging up the phone with Xie Nicholas Tse, the man called Li Mubai again. Same lines, different reactions. Li Mubai's voice was exceptionally calm: "I understand. I'll prepare the money. But I need to hear her voice first."

The man took He Yaoyao to the phone. He Yaoyao tried hard to make her voice sound less trembling: "Mu Bai..."

Li Mubai was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. I will rescue you."

The man hung up the phone and looked at He Yaoyao with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "It seems that you are quite popular. But this is also a good thing. It makes our game more interesting."

He Yaoyao felt mixed emotions. She didn't expect that she would end up in such a situation, and she didn't expect that both Xie Tingxuan and Li Mubai would come for her.

But at this moment, she was more worried that if either of these two people came alone, they might fall into a trap.

Time seemed to freeze inside the warehouse, and every second seemed to stretch exceptionally long. He Yaoyao tried to find a chance to escape, but the warehouse was sealed off on all sides, and the only exit was closely guarded by the two men.

Soon, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the warehouse, followed by the sound of a car door opening and closing.

The two men looked at each other, a sneer appeared on their lips, it was obvious that someone was coming.

"It looks like the game is about to begin." One of them said, and then took He Yaoyao to the warehouse door.

The door slowly opened, and a beam of light shone in. He Yaoyao squinted her eyes and saw Xie Nicholas Tse standing outside the door with an anxious look on his face, holding a heavy box in his hand.

"I'm here, I've brought the money, let her go." Xie Tingxuan's voice was filled with unquestionable determination.

The man laughed and motioned for Xie Tingxuan to put the box on the ground, then slowly backed away. Xie Tingxuan did as he was told, his eyes fixed on He Yaoyao.

Just as the man was about to let Xie Tingxuan approach in exchange for He Yaoyao, a sudden noise came from the other side of the warehouse. Everyone was startled and turned to look. Li Mubai had quietly appeared there, holding an iron rod he had found from nowhere.

"Do you think he is the only one who will come?" Li Mubai said coldly, with determination in his eyes.

The situation suddenly became complicated. The two kidnappers had not expected such a turn of events and were at a loss for what to do. He Yaoyao was both surprised and happy, but she was also well aware of the danger at the moment.

"Hmph, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!" One of the kidnappers shouted angrily and pulled out a dagger from his waist. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

"You protect Yaoyao and go first." Xie Tingxuan shouted at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai didn't hesitate and immediately took two steps forward, blocking He Yaoyao and staring at the kidnapper with a sharp gaze. He whispered to He Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, follow me closely."

He Yaoyao nodded. Although she was nervous, she knew she had to remain calm. She followed Li Mubai closely, ready to find a chance to escape.

However, the kidnappers were not going to let them go easily. One of them rushed towards Li Mubai, brandishing a dagger.

Li Mubai dodged to the side and hit the kidnapper's arm with an iron rod. With a "pop" sound, the dagger fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other kidnapper immediately pulled out a gun from behind and pointed it at Li Mubai and He Yaoyao.

Seeing this, Xie Tingxuan rushed forward and tried to snatch the gun from the kidnapper.

The two men wrestled with each other in the chaos and gunshots were heard.
