She looked at Fan Shixin and said, “Get the private jet ready immediately, I have to go to M Nation.”
Fan Shixin acknowledged with a nod, “Yes, Young Madam.”
Jin Qingyan’s face grew sullen, and he sat by the side quietly, seemingly deep in thought.
….
When Jin Yiheng and Jin Rongyan woke up one after another, they were greeted with the sounds of bawling children and they soon realized that they were in a dark and completely foreign place.
“Xiaoxi…” Jin Yiheng scanned his surroundings and yelled for Long Xiaoxi, who was remaining silent.
“Yiheng, you’re awake? We’re locked up,” Long Xiaoxi said while grabbing his hand.
“Who locked us up?”
Shaking her head, Long Xiaoxi said in between sobs, “I don’t know. When I went to your bed to sleep last night, I heard someone entering the room as soon as I lay down. It was a huge, black figure and I didn’t dare to make a sound…”
Jin Yiheng asked, “What else?”
“He covered my nose and my mouth with a handkerchief. Mommy taught me not to breathe when a thug covers my mouth with a handkerchief so I held my breath. I then saw him throwing Rongyan into a sack. He even tried to carry you away, so I hugged you tightly to stop him from doing so. However, he carried us both and placed us inside the sack… I didn’t dare to fall asleep. Yiheng, I’m really scared. You and Rongyan didn’t respond no matter how I tried to call your names. I thought that you two have already died,” Long Xiaoxi explained while weeping.
Jin Yiheng hugged her and patted her back. “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared, I’m here.”
However, he had also forgotten that he was merely a seven-year-old who was no match for Xihou Jiaping, although he was the oldest amongst the three children.
The three of them huddled up together. They were much quieter compared to the rest of the children.
“Brother, were they also kidnapped like us?” Jin Rongyan asked.
“No idea. If someone brings us food and drinks later, you’re not allowed to touch them, hear me?”
The two of them acknowledged this with a nod.
Soon, what he had stated actually came true.
Someone arrived with lots of delicious snacks and beverages.
Jin Yiheng grabbed three bottles of beverages and removed the lids, only to discover that he had managed to do so easily. Clearly, the bottles had been opened before. He then placed the bottles back to their original position and shook his head at the two other children, hinting to them that they should not consume the food and beverages.
The rest of the children, who were about the same age as them, proceeded to consume the food, unable to resist the temptation.
Just like Jin Yiheng had expected, the children stopped wailing and began lying motionless on the ground.
Long Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in shock, and she grabbed Jin Yiheng’s arm tightly. “Are they… all dead?”
“They might have just passed out.”
Gradually, a silence filled the air.
Jin Yiheng and the other two children lay down and pretended to have passed out too.
A long while later, someone arrived.
Long Xiaoxi immediately tightened her grip on Jin Yiheng’s arm, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe.
The person had indeed come for them.
Initially, they were planning to just take Jin Yiheng and Jin Rongyan away. Yet…
“Take the chubby girl away too.”
“Yes.”
The three children were then brought away and placed inside a wooden crate. The wooden crate was then sealed by nails, leaving just a few tiny holes to allow for ventilation.
A few men then carried the crate onto a large cargo truck and placed it right at the bottom. In order to prevent the air from becoming too thin, they even left an airway for fresh air to enter.
The truck began to move off, and the children had no idea where they were being sent to.
They looked at each other in shock and dismay.
The space was extremely small and cramped. They could only remain in a squatting position, and every slightest movement would feel uncomfortable.
Long Xiaoxi burst into tears again and she muttered, “I miss Daddy and Mommy…”
Jin Yiheng hushed her and said, “Don’t cry, Rongyan and I are here with you. Look, Rongyan isn’t crying either. Stop crying too.”
Long Xiaoxi nodded while biting her lip, and the three children remained seated quietly.
A few hours later, the car came to a halt.
The three children continued to play dead, and someone moved the crate from the truck to a ship.
There was a young woman on the ship who was sipping on some liquor. At the sight of the crate, she immediately said, “Open it.”
“Yes.”
The two men removed the lid of the crate, after which the woman asked, “Why aren’t they awake yet? Carry them out.”
“They should be coming to very soon.” The two buff men carried the children out of the crate and placed them onto the ground.
Jin Yiheng opened his eyes, after which the woman put down her glass of liquor and stood up. “Hey, kid, you’ve come to.”
“Pretty sister, where are we?”
“Hey, you’ve got such a glib tongue,” the woman said, speaking in an authentic S Nation Mandarin. She was all smiles, clearly thrilled to have received a compliment.
“What do we do with these three children?”
One of the men answered, “Master wants us to go ahead with our usual practice and train them to become assassins. However, they must be sent to Mingshan Island at once.”
The woman remarked in astonishment, “What’s the purpose of sending them there? Isn’t that an execution ground? Does he want them to be killed? If that’s the case, what’s the point of sending them to such a faraway place?”
“Master wants us to dump them there and leave them to fend for themselves. It’s easy to kill them now, but Master seems to be planning to leave them there for a while before training them to become one of us. When that happens, wouldn’t Master be able to get his hands on the Jin Corporation easily?”
“Oh, I see. Got it, you guys may leave. I’ll handle it from here. Nothing will go wrong, for sure.”
The two men turned around and left.
The three children were left alone with the woman.
Jin Yiheng scanned his surroundings. Upon seeing how strange he was behaving, the woman pointed at a chair and said, “You don’t have to look any further. You kids are never going to be able to escape. There are guards everywhere outside. Come and sit here.”
“Okay.”
At this moment, Jin Rongyan and Long Xiaoxi had also opened their eyes and were instructed to sit beside Jin Yiheng.
“Pretty sister, what are you trying to do?” Jin Yiheng asked, staring at her with his innocent, puppy eyes.
“Kid, I’m not trying to do anything. I’m just here to teach you some knowledge, but you must pay attention and memorize what I teach you, okay?”
“What knowledge?” he asked.
The woman chuckled and asked, “Do you know your parents’ names?”
“I do, but my brother doesn’t. She has no idea what her parents’ names are either,” said Jin Yiheng, pointing at Long Xiaoxi.
