Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

002 was placed in an unfamiliar place, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was covered. Only a few of his mouths were lit up, which seemed to be the vents in this small space to prevent 002 from suffocating.

Judging from the sound of horses' hooves and the dust flying in, 002 deduced that he was in a large box under the carriage, very close to the ground. Because the dust was blowing into the wooden box, 002 was choked and wanted to cough, but his mouth was covered.

Since Xiong Bufan arrived, 002 has never suffered like this. He only knows that he met a group of people, couldn't beat them, and woke up in this small, large box.

The box suddenly stopped, and the people blocking the way asked, "Who are you? The toll is charged per person, one tael of silver per person."

There is only one toll station around the capital, which is the toll station set up in Da Cai Zhai. It has now been transferred to the Fifth Prince Cui Haoyu. 002 guesses that he is probably being transported to the capital.

People outside started giving money; the tollbooth might be the only place 002 could be saved, and Cui Haoyu's men wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

002 struggled desperately, but the ropes binding her were too tight. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her legs were also encircled, so she couldn't stretch them out at all, nor did she have any space to kick the bottom of the box.

"Ugh! Ahhh!"

Hearing noises from inside the carriage, the tollbooth attendant jokingly asked, "Gentlemen, what brings you to the capital?"

"We're a variety show troupe, and the monkeys in the car are preparing for a performance. We apologize for disturbing you gentlemen." As he spoke, the man clasped his hands in a respectful gesture to the people at the tollbooth.

"Haha, it's alright. You've had a tough time too. It's getting late, you should hurry up and get going."

Hearing the tollbooth staff urging them to leave, 002 fiercely rubbed his hand against the tollbooth, but even though his hand was in excruciating pain, he didn't feel any bleeding. Undeterred, 002 rubbed his hand against the tollbooth again.

Blood dripped down from the vent of the box. A sharp-eyed person in the toll booth spotted the bloodstains and nudged Wang Jie, the head of the toll booth, to look over.

Wang Jie saw the bloodstains on the ground, took out his ledger and wrote: Wuliang Acrobatics Troupe, abusing monkeys.

The driver of the carriage gradually walked away, leaving bloodstains on the ground. Judging from the color and smell, the box did not contain a monkey at all.

Wang Jie added two more words to the notebook: "abnormal." He wouldn't concern himself with anything else; he would only report it, and everything else would have to wait for the prince's orders.

The time inside the box was particularly unbearable. 002 didn't know if the people at the tollbooth had seen the bloodstains. He really hoped that Xiong Bufan could come and save him like he had before.

The carriage sped up, jolting along, and 002's head kept hitting the wooden planks of the box. Combined with his previous injuries and bleeding, he soon passed out.

Xiong Bufan was lying asleep on the big golden bed and had no idea what had happened. The others just assumed that the second-in-command had been sent out on a mission by the first-in-command. Since the first-in-command didn't care, they naturally wouldn't care either.

When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Xiong Bufan yawned. 002's scent was very faint. It seemed like he hadn't been back for a long time.

Shiyi Niang brought hot water and food to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Boss, wash your face, get ready, and have some food."

"Has the second-in-command sent any message back?"

Eleventh Sister: Not yet!

This is the first time 002 has been gone for so long without replying to messages. However, Kongkong didn't say that 002 encountered any danger, so 002 should be fine. Maybe he went to work in Lincheng.

Xiong Bufan: "The second-in-command sent a message to me."

When 002 comes back, Xiong Bufan will definitely extort a lot of money from him. It's such a waste that he doesn't go back to his stronghold and instead goes out to have fun.

002 was locked in a water dungeon, and it was quiet and there was no one around. A large piece of skin and flesh was scraped off 002's hand, and it was covered in dust and the bleeding had barely stopped.

The dripping sound of water and the occasional scraping of chains on the ground were especially noticeable in the quiet water dungeon, adding to the atmosphere of terror.

002 doesn't know who kidnapped him yet, and can only wait for the person who kidnapped him to show up. Thinking of this, 002 closed his eyes to rest. He only hoped that Xiong Bufan would discover his disappearance soon and then search for him like he was searching for gold and silver treasures.

Kong Kong has recently become obsessed with drawing doujinshi, which is as interesting as the TV series from the last world. Before the alarm sounded, Kong Kong rarely paid attention to 002's situation.

During the days that 002 disappeared, Xiong Bufan was either sleeping or on his way to eat and watching the excitement. Even when he thought of 002, he would quickly be distracted by the lively things around him.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Da Chun and Er Qiu started whispering bad things about 002. Da Chun said, "Did the second-in-command run away? Is it because he doesn't want to work!"

Erqiu said in a pretentious tone, "I think he's met his true love. I've always felt that the Second Boss isn't good enough for the First Boss. Our First Boss is good-looking, has high fighting skills, and is smart. Even if he's a bit greedy and lazy, ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Erqiu was kicked aside by Xiong Bufan. She had just arrived and heard this idiot talking bad about her. She had really given him too much face.

Kongkong: "Bufan, you didn't hear a single good thing he said about you! You're selectively listening!"

“He was telling the truth at first, but then he lied. I will punish every fool who lies.”

Kongkong: Haha, you sound so real.

Da Chun quickly covered his mouth with one hand and pointed at Er Qiu with the other, saying, "Er Qiu was the one who said the bad things, it has nothing to do with me."

Xiong Bufan patted Dachun on the shoulder and said, "I like honest children. You can tell more truths."

Da Chun's mind raced, but he couldn't think of any words to exaggerate the boss's abilities. Xiong Bufan waited expectantly for a long time, but Da Chun still didn't say a word. He slapped Da Chun to the ground and said, "You're not good at finding the good in others. Remember to read more books in the future."

After this little incident, Xiong Bufan had forgotten why she came out. She felt like she had forgotten something, but things that can be forgotten will eventually be remembered, and things that can be solved are not big problems. Xiong Bufan wandered back to her room to sleep.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Xiong Bufan remembered that she was supposed to come out to find 002. 002 hadn't come back for a long time and hadn't paid any money. Could it be that 002 had absconded with the money?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiong Bufan rushed out quickly. She would not allow 002 to spend her money, not even a single copper coin!
