Mr. Xiao waved instantly and looked at “Mrs. Monte” with envy, “I can understand, Mr. Monte. Your wife is so beautiful that any man would fall in love with her. Of course, I will keep Mrs. Monte at a respectful distance.”
“Mr. Monte” smiled. Seeing the beautiful woman next to him, he embraced her tightly.
Mr. Xiao ordered to bring the wine. The bartender came out slowly, looking at the couple from time to time. Then he put the mixed wine on the table one by one.
“Mr. Monte, Mrs. Monte, Mr. Xiao, this is the most unique wine that I made, please have a taste.” The bartender was respectful and gently placed three goblets on the table.
Mr. Xiao glanced at him and knocked on the table accidentally to signal his departure. The bartender took a look at Xia Nuan.
She looked up at him at the same time.
The eyes… She felt familiar.
The bartender with goatee and suit was smiling at Xia Nuan.
He looked like Ye Enchen…
The only difference was that Ye Enchen was disabled and this man was healthy. But the man seemed to walk laboriously.
Xia Nuan was uneasy.
Although Ye Sichen had noticed that as well, he was calm, just holding her hand tightly with a faint smile.
“Madam, sir, toast for our cooperation.” Mr. Xiao took up the goblet actively, making a toast to the couple who were disguised by Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen.
Xia Nuan did as Ye Sichen said and refused to drink. While Ye Sichen took the goblets and drank them both.
She was worried to notice that Mr. Xiao sneered at them. It was possible that they added drugs in the wine.
She held Ye Sichen’s hand, “Are you OK?”
He shook his head, “I’m fine.”
After seeing Ye Sichen drink the wine, Mr. Xiao also drank it.
“Sir, how does the wine taste?”
“Not bad. The bartender is pretty skillful.” Ye Sichen wiped his mouth gracefully, and slowly praised the bartender standing behind Mr. Xiao.
Suddenly, Xia Nuan found the napkin in Ye Sichen’s hand. There was something in the shape of a sponge ball in it. And then he put it in his pocket.
The sponge ball was taken out from his mouth, and it adsorbed the wine that he drank.
The bartender smiled and bowed to Ye Sichen slightly, “It’s my honor to make the wine for you.”
“I’ll ask him to make you one more cup immediately, if you like.” Mr. Xiao tempted Ye Sichen and looked at Xia Nuan, “Would you like a cup, too, Mrs. Monte?”
She smiled, “I’d like to try it next time, but I’m not feeling well.”
“OK. I won’t force you.”
As long as the man fainted, he could cope with the woman easily.
Mr. Xiao thought triumphantly.
Ye Sichen was uncomfortable. Mr. Xiao thought the drug was working, so he clapped to signal the retinues to come in. Those shared the same crescent-signed gold on their arms.
Xia Nuan supported Ye Sichen, “Mr. Xiao, what do you want to do?”
“Mrs. Monte, I’m so sorry that I have to tie you up. Hope you don’t mind.” After Mr. Xiao’s command, several men came forward and surrounded Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen protected Xia Nuan and whispered to her, “Don’t fight against them. Just sit down and do as I say.”
She sat down slowly and was controlled by the men, then Ye Sichen was taken to Mr. Xiao.
“Don’t move!” Ye Sichen whipped out his gun and pointed at Mr. Xiao when he passed by him.
Before Mr. Xiao realized what happened, his neck was grabbed by Ye Sichen and his forehead was close to a cold gun.
He didn’t expect the man was still sober after drinking two glasses of wine with knockout drops!
“Mr. Monte, what are you doing? I thought you were drunk and wanted to get you to the room to have a rest. Please don’t misunderstand my kindness.” He saw the gun against his head and had to be friendly to Ye Sichen.
“Mr. Xiao, do you really think I will trust you? Tell your people to release my wife!” Ye Sichen was ready to pull the trigger.
Mr. Xiao loosened his clenched fists gradually and asked his men, “Release Mrs. Monte! Hurry up!”
As soon as Xia Nuan was released, she took out the weapon and attacked two men next to her. They fell to the ground with a cry of pain, then covered their injured legs and curled up on the ground in pain but couldn’t get up.
It was an anesthetic rifle she had prepared.
Then she also turned her weapon to Mr. Xiao and talked to him coldly, “If you tell us where the children are, maybe we’ll let you go.”
“What? Children?” He pretended that he didn’t know what Xia Nuan was talking about.
“Don’t play dumb with me. I know you are taking care of three children. Tell me where they are.” After he felt that Ye Sichen used more strength and tried to pull the trigger, a lot of cold sweats ran from his forehead.
“Don’t be angry, Mr. Monte. I’ll take you to the children right now.” He tremulously begged Ye Sichen.
“Take us there, now!” Xia Nuan turned her weapon to Mr. Xiao’s men and came forward. These men had guns, too, but they could do nothing because their boss was still threatened by Ye Sichen.
Mr. Xiao called his man to open a door and took Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan in.
But he fainted before he entered the room.
“Go to save the children. He is unconscious because I changed the wine with knockout drops to him.” The bartender said.
Xia Nuan looked at the bartender gratefully. Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan walked into the room hand in hand, and locked the bartender out, letting him cope with the situation.
As expected, Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng were in the room. A woman in tracksuit rocked Ansheng to stop his crying in a cradle. Wuyou and Nianci sat next to him and tried to cheer him up.
Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen felt so painful to see the scene. They wanted to take their children to leave here, but they had to solve some problems now.
“Did you kidnap these children?” Ye Sichen asked.
“No, I didn’t…” The babysitter was scared to see the gun and stammered.
“No? Then who are their parents? If you lie to me, I will shoot you.” Ye Sichen threatened her.
“They, they are Ye Sichen’s children. Mr. Yue Xiao kidnapped them in order to threaten Ye Sichen. I have nothing to do with it. I just came here to take care of them…” The babysitter told them the truth.
“Did you record all this?” Ye Sichen sneered and asked Xia Nuan.
She nodded and put the phone back.
“Good.” Ye Sichen pushed the babysitter out, then locked the door again.
Xia Nuan picked Ansheng up from the cradle, but Wuyou and Nianci looked at them defensively.
“You are bad guys. Give my brother back to us!” Nianci held Wuyou’s hand and looked at Xia Nuan angrily.
It was obvious that the children didn’t recognize them because of their attire.
Ye Sichen went over and took Wuyou and Nianci by the hand, “We are mom and dad.”
“Nianci, Wuyou, we are here to take you home.” Xia Nuan embraced Ansheng and looked at the two children fondly.
Wuyou and Nianci was relaxed after recognizing the voice of their parents.
“You are mom and dad indeed!”
“Yes, here they are.” Wuyou and Nianci identified their voices, and felt so happy.
Knowing it was mom who hugged him, Ansheng stopped crying and murmured, “Mom…”
“Yes, it’s me.” Xia Nuan kissed him.
“Xia Nuan, take them out of here. I’ll cover you.” After Ye Sichen pressed a button, a passage suddenly appeared on the floor.
She took the children into the passage and Ye Sichen followed to protect them.
This passage led to the bottom of the cruise. Like going downstairs, they directly went to the bottom where Ye Sichen’s submarine was waiting for them.
Just as they were about to get into the submarine, a shot rang out from the above cruise. They got nervous and held their children firmly.
Mr. Xiao’s men jumped into the sea and swam towards the submarine. Their purpose was to bring the children back and stop Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen leaving.
Di Luoke and several bodyguards kept shooting at sea to stop them.
In order not to scare the children, Ye Sichen asked Di Luoke to pack up the gun before the submarine started out.
