Zhang Manling: “Listen to me, Little Bean…”
“I’m Pudding,” Pudding corrected her.
Zhang Manling: “Uh…”
“I’m Little Bean.” Little Bean stood aside and looked at Zhang Manlin coldly.
Zhang Manling: “Don’t get me wrong, the two of you… I couldn’t help it. Do you know how hard I tried to rescue you guys from the kidnappers?”
“Cut the cr*p. Why didn’t you go back to the city after rescuing us and drove to the mountains instead? What are you up to?” Little Bean asked.
“Aiyo, my lord, how dare I drive back to the city? If those two people catch us, we’ll be dead for sure. They have guns,” Zhang Manlin exclaimed deliberately.
“Then why haven’t you called my daddy and got him to pick us up?” Pudding asked.
Zhang Manling: “This is a little bit complicated… You know Huo Siqian, right? He doesn’t allow me to do that. He also gave me an order to kill you, but you know I’m not that ruthless. Honestly, I’m the good guy. I can’t bear hurting two kids. That’s why I’m trying to buy us some time and let you go when Huo Siqian lowers his guard.”
“Haha, are you this nice?” Little Bean and Pudding laughed.
“What do you mean?” Zhang Manlin looked innocent.
“I tricked you before, and you must hate me,” Little Bean said.
“That’s nothing. Your dad is so nice to me, how could I let you guys die? I risked my life to save you. It’s alright if you two aren’t grateful, but you even doubt my sincerity… sigh…”
“In the current situation, it’s not suitable to run in the mountains. My dad will find us quickly, so stop talking about Huo Siqian the bad guy,” Pudding analyzed calmly.
Little Bean nodded and said, “Yup, we’re not three-year-old kids. We’re three and a half now. Take back what you’re trying to do. If you’re really trying to save us, don’t play any tricks, alright? It’s hard to walk in the mountains, and the signal is weak. This will increase the difficulty of my daddy finding us. If you keep going into the mountains, you will basically be saying that you have hostile intentions.”
“That’s not true. I’m scared that those two kidnappers will catch up to us. You know that I’m not a fast driver, and I don’t dare to drive fast either. I only drove hundreds of kilometers. Those two might catch up to us quickly, and we will all be dead by then,” Zhang Manlin explained.
“You don’t need to worry about that. They’re not local, and they’re unfamiliar with this place. We’ve passed by so many villages. They won’t be able to find us anymore. Besides, I predict that if they find out that we’re gone after they wake up, their first reaction won’t be chasing after us but escaping for their lives… so your statement is wrong.”
“Uh…” Zhang Manlin didn’t expect these two kids to have such incredible minds at such a young age.
She made up so many excuses, but none of those worked for them.
“The two of you rest up first, eat some food, and drink some water. We’ll figure out the rest later.” Zhang Manlin handed bread and water to them when she saw that she couldn’t persuade them.
“You take a sip first.” Pudding looked at the bottle of water cautiously.
“Yeah. Take a bite of the bread first as well, then we’ll eat.” Little Bean learned from her old sister and asked Zhang Manlin to try because she was afraid that Zhang Manlin would poison the food and water.
