It took nearly ten seconds for Mu Jinyu to knock down two kidnappers, which still was somewhat physically taxing for him.
Standing on the spot, he caught his breath briefly, looking coldly at the two half-dead kidnappers with indifference in his eyes, feeling no remorse about having been too rough.
They were scum to begin with, if he hadn't felt that killing them would bring too many troubles, he would likely have killed them outright.
"Oh... brother, are you here to save me?"
As Mu Jinyu took a moment to rest, suddenly, a somewhat childish and timid voice came from the side.
Hearing the voice, Mu Jinyu then remembered his urgent task and quickly turned to look.
In front of him was a little girl in a white dress, looking as delicate as a porcelain doll, gazing at him timidly.
Such a cute little girl.
The thought suddenly crossed Mu Jinyu's mind.
Then, he saw the little girl's tender arm wrapped several times with black tape, and his brow immediately furrowed.
"Yes, I am here to rescue you, little sister, don't be afraid, it's all right now,"
Mu Jinyu stepped towards the little girl, first gently stroked her head to soothe her, and then started to undo the black tape on her arms.
"Thank you, brother!"
As the tape binding her arms was removed, the little girl's expression visibly relaxed.
Seeing that Mu Jinyu was handsome and did not look like a bad guy, she threw herself into his arms and began sobbing her grievances.
Mu Jinyu held the little girl, gently patting her back, his expression helpless, but he spoke in a very soft and soothing voice to comfort her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's all right now, I'll take you home soon,"
"Yes, Xiaoya is not afraid."
The little girl sniffled a few times, then lifted her head from Mu Jinyu's embrace, her bright eyes gazing at him with determination, and crisply said.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu smiled, scooped her up, stood up, and said, "Good, Xiaoya is the bravest, let's go, I'll take you home now."
"Yes yes," Xiaoya nodded like a pecking chick.
Clearly, although she said she wasn't scared, she was indeed still afraid and eager to go home.
Mu Jinyu gave her a slight smile, disregarding the two kidnappers lying on the ground, and walked out of the warehouse.
Then, holding Xiaoya, he let her cling to him tightly as they once again climbed over the wall.
…
Gu Xiyan sat in the car, seeing the pitch-dark surroundings, she inwardly cursed Mu Jinyu continually, her expression so aggrieved it was almost bitter.
"Dead Jinyu, stinky Jinyu, when will you come back, oh…"
Gu Xiyan muttered under her breath, her voice laced with sobs.
In the few minutes that Mu Jinyu was gone, she felt like years had passed, always feeling that something filthy would dash towards her out of the dark.
She had thought about whether to leave Mu Jinyu behind and go back alone.
But she didn't dare do so, not just because she was afraid to drive alone in the pitch dark, but also because she couldn't leave Mu Jinyu.
Just as Gu Xiyan was unsure what to do,
"Bang bang bang!"
Sounds of knocking suddenly came from the car window.
"Ah—"
Already extremely tense, Gu Xiyan immediately let out a sharp scream.
At that moment, the car door was opened, and cold air poured into the car.
Gu Xiyan was terrified, her face drained of color, and she tightly closed her eyes, shivering and deeply regretting that she had forgotten to lock the doors.
Then, she heard Mu Jinyu's voice suddenly resound faintly.
"Hey, why are you yelling so loudly? You nearly made me cry."
Huh? Is that jerk Mu Jinyu back?!
Gu Xiyan's tightly closed eyes sneaked open a little slit, and when she saw Mu Jinyu holding a timid little girl, looking at herself with a face full of impatience and disbelief, she immediately became furious!
"Damn it, you scared the hell out of me, and you dare to be impatient and speechless toward me, just go die!"
Gu Xiyan's suppressed emotions burst out instantly, and with a roar, she pounced into Mu Jinyu's arms, then opened her mouth and viciously bit into his shoulder!
"Crack!"
"Ow, ow, ow, what are you doing!"
Mu Jinyu yelled in pain, pushing Gu Xiyan with his hands, trying to stop her from going crazy.
Gu Xiyan clung tightly to Mu Jinyu's waist and back, with a stubborn and fierce expression, and kept biting into Mu Jinyu's shoulder, refusing to let go.
After a long while, when the emotions of grievance, fear, and worry in her heart had been vented,
Gu Xiyan finally let go, her expression grievous, tearfully looking at Mu Jinyu and complaining, "You jerk, it was you who scared me on purpose!"
Mu Jinyu had been bitten by her for nearly two minutes, initially feeling that she was insanely acting out for no reason and was quite annoyed, but gradually he felt Gu Xiyan's worry and frightened emotions, and his heart also turned guilty and helpless.
Indeed, he had left her alone in this dark and spooky place, so it was no wonder she was frightened.
Having just suddenly knocked on the window and scared her badly was indeed his fault.
Well then, let her bite, to vent her emotions.
When she finally let go and then cursed him a jerk, Mu Jinyu sighed helplessly, and said, "I didn't mean to scare you, I was just rescuing someone."
"Rescuing someone?!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Gu Xiyan then remembered the timid little girl clinging to Mu Jinyu and immediately turned to look at her.
That moment, Xiaoya, was staring with a pair of beautiful big eyes, sizing up Gu Xiyan.
Seeing Gu Xiyan looking at her, she did not shyly shift her gaze away but tucked her head into Mu Jinyu's arms.
The two stared at each other for a while.
Xiaoya suddenly spoke timidly, "Big sister, can you not bully brother?"
Gu Xiyan, hearing this, almost fainted, pointed at herself, then at Mu Jinyu, and said with a cry and a laugh, "I'm bullying him?"
"Isn't it?"
Mu Jinyu spoke somberly, turning his head to glance at his shoulder, wet with the saliva Gu Xiyan had left while biting him.
Gu Xiyan, seeing Mu Jinyu's look, blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and quickly took out some tissues to wipe Mu Jinyu's shoulder.
To cover the traces.
Mu Jinyu shook his head helplessly, then said, "Let's go back, find a police station, and get this little girl home."
Gu Xiyan nodded, then started the car.
Having calmed down, she also thought of the dangers Mu Jinyu faced while rescuing someone, and asked anxiously, "By the way, are you okay?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
Mu Jinyu asked with a light smile.
Gu Xiyan glared at him irritably, "Were you hurt while rescuing someone?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head and laughed, "I was fine rescuing, but I did get bitten by you afterward."
"You?!"
Gu Xiyan, hearing this, got a bit angry again, but thinking that Mu Jinyu was unharmed, she also relaxed a bit.
Mu Jinyu didn't bother with her and took out his phone to call the police first.
The number he dialed was naturally that of the police officer who had helped him with the Wen Rou incident last time.
