“It’s very simple. The only thing I need you to do is call my daddy and tell him our whereabouts. As long as he has our approximate location, he’ll definitely find us.”

“I don’t think that’ll work. There’s not enough time. We’re very far from C City. I heard that they closed off the entire city, how did they bring you out?” Zhang Manlin was curious.

“The man’s very sly. He took us through the remote mountain roads. It took us a very long time to reach here and it’s very far away from the city.”

“Then that’s even worse. Even if I tell your daddy where you are, you’ll be taken to their next destination.”

“Yes, but there’s no better way,” Pudding analyzed the situation with her head down.

“I can find some people to help. I’m from around here and I know a lot of people. I can call for help.”

“Definitely not.”

“Why not?” Zhang Manlin asked.

“That man… has knives, guns, and bombs. If you call for help, it’ll only put innocent people in danger. I don’t want that to happen…” Pudding had a lot under consideration. She didn’t want to drag more people into her mess. She was still haunted by the thought of almost getting the tall guy killed back when Huo Siyi kidnapped her.

“But… if they take you away, it’ll be even more difficult for us to find you.”

Pudding looked at Zhang Manlin’s watch. “We don’t have a lot of time left, I have to hurry. Miss Zhang, since you’re from here, you should know… the name of the next destination after this town?”

“I do; it’s Tao Yuan Village.”

“Is that the only village?” Pudding asked.

“Yes, this is the mountains and Tao Yuan is the only way through… if they keep going.”

“About how far?”

“About 50 miles.”

“That’s good. There should be enough time. Tell my daddy to bring his men to Tao Yuan. Don’t worry, with my daddy’s powers, they can even send over helicopters. Plus, Su Yu will come up with a lot of ways to help too. All you need to do is inform them.”

“But…” Zhang Manlin was just about to speak but Pudding continued.

“Miss Zhang, I won’t ask you to help us in vain. I know I’m just a kid but I understand the concept of returning the favor. Before, Little Bean and I teased you, mocked you, and went against you for reasons you understand. I’m not going to talk about those things now but if you help us this time, we’ll definitely return your favor. I’m sure you know how rich my daddy is. You should also understand that, when the time comes, any job, any house, and any amount of money is yours, as long as my daddy can afford it.”

“I haven’t thought about those things. Honestly, I would help even if I didn’t know the two of you. I’m very soft-hearted,” Zhang Manlin explained.

“You don’t have to tell me all of this. I hope that you’ll do what I’ve asked for. Once I go out, call my dad immediately. It has to be my daddy and not the police… Thank you.”

With that, Pudding turned around and left.

At the sight of Pudding’s return, He Yongjun gave no reaction; he simply continued to eat.

“Big Brother Jun, should we get a to-go bag for dinner? It looks like we’re in the middle of nowhere. If we keep going, there’s probably no food at the next rest stop.” Shen Jiani looked worried.

“It’s okay, bringing food is too much of a hassle. There is still a lot of bread, sausages, and water in the car.”

“Wow, you’re prepared for a long battle.” Shen Jiani was surprised.

“Qin Chu’s hard to beat. I’ve investigated him… We have to be very careful. Let’s go.”

With that, He Yongjun got up, grabbed Pudding with one hand, and dragged her out.

Shen Jiani followed by dragging out Little Bean…

Zhang Manlin watched from afar, staying silent…
