Chapter 225: Watching with cold eyes
Although they placed their hopes of being rescued on Su Ziyu and the others, they couldn't just sit there and do nothing now.
Wang Xi thought about it, then struggled to stand up and groped his way towards the entrance of the secret room.
Xiaoya held his hand and asked worriedly,
"Wang Xi, where are you going?"
"I went to them to get some fever-reducing medicine. They wanted money and they certainly didn't want the child to die here."
Although Wang Xi said this verbally, he had no idea at all.
After all, from Lele's mouth, we can know that the women in that group clearly have a grudge against Lele's mother.
Who knows, they might just stand by and watch.
However, Wang Xi still wanted to give it a try.
If we give up like this, wouldn’t that be giving up on Lele’s life?
After hearing this, Xiaoya hesitated for a moment and finally let go of Wang Xi's hand. She worriedly reminded him,
"Then be careful."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
As soon as Wang Xi finished speaking, another voice was heard in the darkness. It was the little boy who first discovered that Lele had a fever.
"Uncle, I'll go with you."
"no!"
Wang Xi and Xiaoya objected at the same time, and Xiaoya used her voice to accurately grab the boy's hand with such force that he could not break free.
Wang Xi rebuked him without hesitation, "With a master like me here, it's not your turn to show off your abilities."
The space in the secret room is not very big, but it is at least 20 to 30 square meters.
Wang Xi rubbed his way to the door, patted it and shouted, "Brother Tao, is Brother Tao here?"
"Is there anyone here, please help me!"
The door of the secret room is not a wooden door, but a very heavy stone door, which is covered with something else on the outside.
Therefore, the movement in the secret room is difficult to be transmitted outside.
When Wang Xi's palms were swollen and red from clapping, and even had traces of blood on them, there was no movement at all from the stone gate.
Wang Xi was anxious and kept shouting until his voice became hoarse, but he did not stop.
"Mom, Lele is feeling uncomfortable."
"Mom, mom~"
Lele's subtle voice was drowned out by Wang Xi's shouting, and even Xiaoya, who was nearby, did not hear it.
But the little boy seemed to have noticed something and moved closer to Lele.
When the little boy heard the words Lele murmured, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He missed his mother too.
Wang Xi had already been beaten, and now he was exhausted. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only slowly slide down the wall to the ground, and his hands that were patting the stone door gradually became weak.
He looked back, and even though he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, he still wanted to take a look.
"Wang Xi, stop knocking."
Xiaoya's choked voice came from the darkness, and her tone gradually became filled with despair.
Xiaoya has been locked up for a day. She has eaten very little during this day, and now she can hardly hold Lele.
"I'm sorry, Wang Xi. It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If anyone should be blamed, it's me. It's my fault that I failed to protect you and caused you so much suffering." Wang Xi curled his lips. Although his throat was extremely sore when he said that, he still spoke to comfort her.
Xiaoya bit her lip to prevent herself from crying out loud.
How can we blame Wang Xi?
As early as in Province G, Wang Xi had already proposed to go home. It was she who said that she wanted to come to Kyoto with Wang Xi to visit her alma mater.
If anyone is to be blamed, it should be her!
At this moment, Wang Xi felt the stone door he was leaning on vibrate slightly.
His eyelids moved, and he struggled hard to crawl to the side to avoid being hit by the open stone door.
The not-so-bright light trickled in bit by bit from the crack in the door, causing Wang Xi, who had been in darkness, to squint his eyes slightly.
"What's the fuss about?"
"Do you want another beating?!"
Brother Tao's impatient voice sounded from outside, and then Wang Xi felt something knocking heavily on the stone door, making a dull sound.
The stone door was not completely opened, only a gap as wide as a palm was opened.
Wang Xi didn't care how bad Brother Tao's attitude was. He just begged, "Brother Tao, our child has a high fever. Can you please be kind and give us two fever-reducing pills?"
"I beg you!"
Brother Tao felt refreshed when he saw Wang Xi's humble appearance.
He looked down at the embarrassed Wang Xi with a sneer on his face.
"You want some fever medicine? Not impossible!"
Wang Xi's eyes lit up and he looked at Brother Tao hopefully.
"really?"
Brother Tao took Wang Xi's cell phone out of his pocket, raised his chin and said arrogantly,
"As long as the money is in place, the antipyretic medicine will be available immediately."
"Tell me the payment password and I'll give you the medicine."
Wang Xi's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll tell you!"
……
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening. Even though there are still people coming and going on the street outside, this corner seems to be lost in time, without any lively atmosphere at all.
Su Ziyu and Qian Feng hid in the dark, and any slight movement was drowned out by the howling north wind.
Su Ziyu was wearing a constant temperature bracelet, so even though he was outdoors, he didn't feel it was that unbearable at the moment.
Qian Feng was holding a laptop and monitoring what was happening on Sister Hong's side.
Sister Hong dared to act so blatantly in public. Su Ziyu was sure that her current identity must be clean and she had no criminal record.
As for her original identity, it was impossible to find out in such a short time, so Su Ziyu didn't bother with this issue.
"Where are they now?"
Su Ziyu's voice was barely audible in the darkness, but Qian Feng still caught it easily.
Before Qian Feng could answer, both of them heard the familiar sound of a phone call from their Bluetooth headsets.
Su Ziyu instantly quieted down and listened carefully to the conversation between Wang Yanhong and the people in the yard.
The call wasn't long, less than five minutes.
During these five minutes, Wang Yanhong's explanation was quite complete.
The bosses she contacted these days all have their own fleets and channels for transporting goods, and Wang Yanhong wants to use this to send people out of the city.
As long as they leave the city, they can take the country roads where there are no surveillance cameras, and then they won't have to worry all day long.
Of course, some of these convoys only serve as cover.
Qian Feng dutifully saved the call records, but this time he did not send them to the official personnel immediately.
"There are no surveillance cameras or tethered nets in this yard."
"But I've already successfully hacked into the other phone that Wang Yanhong was talking to. I should be able to find out who's in the yard soon."
"Don't worry about Wang Yanhong anymore. The police are already keeping an eye on them."
