Zhuo Yuchen stretched out his long arm and suddenly put his arm around Yan Niannian's shoulder.

Then, he pulled her into his arms.

Yan Niannian's pupils dilated sharply.

The environment was already putting her under immense stress, and now, she was so startled that she cried out, "Ah!"

"Uh……"

Zhuo Yuchen's temples throbbed.

Without hesitation, he immediately reached out and covered her mouth.

This brought the two of them closer together.

Breath mingled, forehead gently pressed.

Yan Niannian was dumbfounded.

It's actually quite ironic, really.

When they were husband and wife, Zhuo Yuchen regarded her as a snake and a scorpion, fearing that she had impure thoughts, and tried every means to prevent her from getting close and from flattering him.

Living under the same roof, yet indifferent like strangers.

Now, she doesn't want him anymore, and somehow, their relationship has become much closer.

In her daze, Yan Niannian saw Zhuo Yuchen with a dark face, raising his eyebrows in displeasure.

His expression was questioning, but his meaning was clear.

damn it!

Does she think of him as some kind of monster?

Coming to her senses, an unnatural expression flashed across Yan Niannian's face. She raised her hand and pushed the person away.

She was about to speak when she was interrupted by the hushed voices outside.

It was those two human traffickers.

"Dude, I have a feeling something's not quite right."

"Yeah, I had the same feeling. These two people came at such a convenient time. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

"I think we shouldn't wait any longer. Let's notify the organization to come tomorrow. If it's not a problem with that man and woman, we can kill them before we smuggle them across the border."

"Otherwise, they and those little brats will not live."

"Okay, I agree, it's settled then."

They fell silent after that, apparently going to sleep.

The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated, and both Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen's expressions became serious.

It seems that their unexpected intrusion disrupted the traffickers' plans, causing them to act ahead of schedule.

Time is tight.

Tomorrow will be dangerous.

Moving closer to Yan Niannian, Zhuo Yuchen deliberately lowered his voice, "Yan Niannian, did you see Zhuo Xuan in the side room?"

Once the serious matter was brought up, Yan Niannian couldn't care less about continuing to be angry with him.

"Yes! I see. Besides Zhuo Xuan, there are four other children."

After a pause, Yan Niannian gave him a deep look, "There's a gas cylinder right in the middle..."

Zhuo Yuchen frowned.

He knew the purpose of the gas cylinder, just like Yan Niannian.

"What should we do?" Yan Niannian gritted her teeth.

Zhuo Yuchen's expression returned to normal, becoming unfathomable once again.

He didn't hide anything from Yan Niannian, "My people are lying in ambush on the perimeter. They are all elites, no less capable than those in their organization."

"Hmph!" Zhuo Yuchen snorted coldly. "Those who come tomorrow, we don't even know whose people they're working for."

As he spoke, Zhuo Yuchen raised his wristwatch.

It contains an advanced communication chip that can be used to communicate with the outside world and issue commands.

Seeing this, Yan Niannian felt relieved.

Although Zhuo Yuchen was blind and couldn't distinguish between good and bad, he always treated Xu Fei like a treasure.

But in terms of ability, they are still top-notch.

There is no doubt about this.

There might be a tough battle tomorrow, so Yan Niannian stopped talking, turned her head slightly, hugged her arms, and leaned against the wall to rest.

Soon, her breathing became steady.

After making the arrangements, Zhuo Yuchen turned to look at Yan Niannian.

Even though her small face was hidden in the shadows, it couldn't hide her naturally elegant, porcelain-white complexion.

Her long eyelashes trembled gently with her shallow breaths.

Exquisite and beautiful.

Every line of her facial features seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by God, and she was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

She used to always try her best to be in front of him, how come he never noticed how beautiful she was?

At this moment, Zhuo Yuchen's attention was entirely on Yan Niannian, and he didn't notice that the man lying on the single bed had his fingers tremble slightly.

He was seriously injured.

Yan Niannian tormented him again, keeping him awake and asleep.

But people like him who commit such heinous acts have one thing in common: they have an extremely tenacious will to live.

He had just woken up in pain and overheard Zhuo Yuchen and Yan Niannian's conversation.

The man gritted his teeth, a flash of frenzied hatred crossing his cloudy eyes.

damn it!

Anyone who dares to scheme against them or block their path to wealth will not live...

……

The next day, before dawn, a large truck drove into the mountain pass.

Rumble…

The sound was particularly jarring on this deserted morning.

"They've arrived; people from the organization have come to pick us up."

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Looking out the window, the signs on the truck clearly belonged to their organization. The two traffickers immediately became excited and ran out of the yard to greet them.

Zhuo Yuchen and Yan Niannian followed behind.

However, they didn't go out; instead, they stood quietly at the door and watched.

As the large truck drew closer, Yan Niannian subconsciously clenched her fists, unable to help but feel nervous.

Although Zhuo Yuchen's men were lying in ambush outside, these human traffickers were ruthless and vicious killers. Could something go wrong?

Thinking of this, Yan Niannian subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Yuchen.

He remained calm, his gaze sharp.

Not a word.

But the powerful aura of strategic planning and complete control that he exuded was still unconsciously emanating from him.

Yan Niannian calmed down a bit.

Now is not the time for internal strife; saving lives is the priority.

"Zhuo Yuchen, you stay here and guard this place. I'm going to rescue the children."

After giving her instructions, without waiting for Zhuo Yuchen's reaction, Yan Niannian picked up the axe standing in the corner and ran towards the backyard.

Zhuo Yuchen turned his head and glanced at Yan Niannian's back.

Thinking that there were two human traffickers ahead and there would be no danger, he simply let her be.

……

Arriving at the door of the side room, Yan Niannian swung her axe and smashed it directly at the large padlock on the door.

咣 咣 咣!

A few moments later, the lock fell to the ground.

Throwing away the axe in her hand, Yan Niannian pushed open the door and rushed inside.

Zhuo Xuan was sitting near the door. He was startled by the noise, but when he looked up, he saw Yan Niannian first.

Startled for a moment, Zhuo Xuan, his eyes red, shouted excitedly, "Mom, I'm here! I'm here!"

Sure enough, Mom had been faking it all along.

She has always cared most about herself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his own safety to rush into the tiger's den to save himself after he was lost.

"Mom!" After realizing his importance, Zhuo Xuan's aggrieved expression unconsciously revealed a hint of pride as he opened his arms to Yan Niannian.

He waited for her to hold him in her arms, to comfort and soothe him tenderly.

But who knows...

Yan Niannian had no idea that Zhuo Xuan was having such a monologue in his mind. After hearing the voice, she just glanced at him.

As the young master of the Zhuo family, he ate the best food and used the best things in the world.

Therefore, among the abducted children, he was in the best condition.

The other children are in a terrible situation.

He was listless and sickly.

If we delay any longer, it could become dangerous.

So after just one glance, Yan Niannian bypassed Zhuo Xuan and rushed towards the other children.
