Chapter 685  : Secret Operation

When the man saw that Yao Tang had no reaction, he slowly relaxed. It seemed that she was just an ordinary person. His smile brightened.

“My name’s John. She’s Anna. We’re tourists,” he said enthusiastically. “What’s your name?”

“Yao Ran.”

She directly gazed at him.

“Yao…” Hearing her familiar surname, Anna raised her eyebrows. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t. She quickly glanced at John as if trying to send him a look.

“Ah! Well, hello, Miss Yao.”

John saw that his partner was hesitating, but he quickly took over. There was no need to add anything more to this.

After chatting for a while, he said, “We actually heard something going on the other side. Maybe if we head over there, we might come across a rescue team.”

“Hm.”

“Even if she has the same last name as the young master of the Yao Family, that doesn’t mean anything, right?”

Bringing along a weak little girl was nothing, right? However, Anna couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. She quickly glanced at the young woman and took a deep breath.

What was this young girl even doing here?

However, John didn’t look too bothered.

No matter who she was or where she had come from, she had no other choice but to trust them, right?

John glanced over at Anna and whispered in her ear, “If we bring her along, we’ll be able to succeed. Besides, all we have to do is keep up with the act. She’s just an ordinary student anyway.”

She wouldn’t know how to fight back.

If she really encountered any danger, then they’d kill her. Then, everything would be over.

However, Anna couldn’t help but feel a hint of worry.

“Don’t worry, we can do it.”

John placed his arm around Anna’s shoulder. His eyes shone with arrogance and reassurance.

They were powerful, and Yao Tang was just a little girl. It’s why they didn’t really bother to hide their intentions as much. What they didn’t know was how Yao Tanghad heard their entire conversation.

The corners of her lips curled up.

..

“Are you tired? Why don’t you sit down and rest?”

After walking for a while, Anna turned to Yao Tang.

She slowly nodded and sat on the boulder right next to her.

After sitting down, the kind-hearted Anna slowly took out a water bottle from her bag and handed it over to her.

Her eyes flashed with a strange light, but she slowly took the bottle. Without another word, she finished it in one gulp.

After seeing her down the water bottle, Anna felt a trace of excitement and relief in her heart. It finally worked out after all!

She’s finally theirs!

Once she fainted, they could finally move to the next step of their plan.

Yao Tang slowly closed her eyes and fell on the boulder beside her.

“Although we’ve bought it from the Black Market, the water is just as good. It’s just a pity I can’t enjoy my time with this beauty,” he whispered, leering at her.

“Let’s just get down to business.”

Anna knew that John had a habit of taking advantage of younger women.

“She’s pretty,” he whispered. “It’s a shame that our schedule’s pretty tight. Now, I can’t take my time with her.”

“Let’s just get down to business. If she wakes up halfway, then all our effort will be wasted.”

John scowled. Didn’t he have more experience with this? Why did he have to listen to the newcomer?

But he didn’t show his reluctance.

He took out an object from his bag and used it to check the different directions. There really were only three of them.

“It’s just us.”

John shoved the item into his bag. However, a wave of uneasiness washed over him, and he couldn’t help but look back.

There, he saw Yao Tang, who had fainted, has reached out to grab Anna’s arm. Without another word, he lifted her up from the ground.

“You!”

His jaw dropped. He grabbed the equipment beside him and was just about to run.

But Yao Tang wasn’t going to let him go that easily.
