An odourless gas entered her respiratory tract which immediately made Lin Ruoxi feel dizzy. Although she was at the pinnacle of the Houtian stage, it still didnât stop her from feeling sluggish.
Lanlan seemed unaffected, cocking her head while looking at the round ball with a confused expression. Soon, she moved forward and kicked the acne faced guy!
He didnât expect Lanlan to be immune to the paralysing gas, but he reacted quickly, dodging her kick in time and grabbing her leg!
Lin Ruoxi could only watch them anxiously as she laid limp on the car seat!
Seeing how he was able to block Lanlanâs attack, he must have had some cultivation techniques too, even if he wasnât a cultivator.
Lanlan instinctively swung her other leg towards his head but he still managed to block it with his arm!
âDamn it, this is insane! Her internal energy is pretty tough! Bro, quick! Knock her out!â
âGotcha!â
The well-built man next to him took hold of Lanlanâs arms before poking the back of her neck heavily!
Lanlan might have an extraordinary physique but her cultivation was too low to deal with two trained guys. With the heavy poke on the back of her neckâs acupuncture point, Lanlan immediately passed out.
âDamn, this chubby girl is feistier than her mom. Weâre lucky that things didnât get out of hand,â the acne faced guy looked around to check on their surroundings before telling his accomplice, âBro, carry this woman out and Iâll carry this kid. I bet thereâs a tracker in this car, just leave it.â
His accomplice nodded and dragged Lin Ruoxi out of the backseat. He pretended as though he was trying to support Lin Ruoxi and pushed her into the back of their police car.
Lin Ruoxi tried to escape by pushing the car door but her head felt heavy. Soon, darkness took over her field of vision and she passed out....
Back in the mansion of the Yang clan, Yang Gongming was seen sitting on a stool made of stone while sipping on his tea, looking at the vegetable garden in front of him.
He could sit there for hours, unaffected by the cold wind as he was still quite healthy.
Suddenly, an old guard rushed to the backyard.
With a nervous voice, he reported to Yang Gongming, âMarshall, Young Madam and Miss Lanlanâs car stopped moving on the highway. We canât reach them!â
Yang Gongmingâs peaceful expression changed into a stern one.
âWhat about the trackers on them?â
âThe signals are interrupted by radio waves. The kidnappers are professionals!â The guard said with furrowed brows.
âThen we shouldnât waste time. Notify General Cai and assist him in tracking all suspicious targets and vehicles. Listen to his commands and donât let anyone else know about this.â Yang Gongming gave out commands immediately.
The guard saluted him and rushed out to carry out his mission.
Yang Gongming stood up with a solemn expression, muttering under his breath as he looked at the garden, âSomeone has already lost patience. Brat, I canât keep up the act any longer if you donât return soon...â
The night arrived at the Southwestern part of Beijing with the moon casting an eerie glow on a port that was out-of-operation.
Batches of shipping containers were placed around the warehouse, leaving an empty spot open in the middle.
The warehouse was completely shut close with the only source of air coming from the vents.
As of this moment, the warehouse was brightly lit with a dozen burly guys surrounding Lin Ruoxi and Lanlan.
Lin Ruoxi was tied onto a chair with nylon ropes. The drug had worn out and even though she could break free from the ropes, she knew itâd be impossible to get out of there with the amount of people surrounding them.
Lin Ruoxi was more worried about her daughter.
Lanlan couldnât move at all after the acne guy sealed her acupuncture point. She was forced to sit on a chair obediently with a pitiful expression.
Tears were threatening to drip down her cheeks.
Lanlan had never been at a disadvantage since she had a tough physique. She was already doing her best to stay strong, considering the fact that she wasnât crying even when she had lost.
Lanlan finally understood why her father kept asking her to do her best in cultivation.
âWho are you guys? Are you aware of the consequences?!â Lin Ruoxi spat through gritted teeth.
The acne guy said in disdain, âOf course we do. Youâre Madam Lin Ruoxi, the Young Madam of the Yang clan.â
âThen how dare you...â
âWhy canât we?!â the acne faced guy sneered, âOur target is the Yang clan members! Especially someone next to Yang Chen! Youâre Yang Chenâs wife so that makes you our first target!â
Lin Ruoxi was prepared to hear this, but she was still in despair to hear that they were after Yang Chen.
âArenât you afraid of my husband?â Lin Ruoxi tried to calm herself down.
The guys guffawed at her question.
âMadam Lin, heed my advice and stop acting tough. Yang Chen has been missing for two weeks, this piece of information isnât revealed to the public but we heard this from a reliable source so stop trying to fool us.â
Lin Ruoxiâs heart fell, âThere must be a reason for you guys to hate my husband.â
âIâll be frank with you. We used to work under the special forces of Commander Liang Shengchuan. Weâre indebted to Commander Liang and the Liang clan. Yang Chen, heâs a devil, he killed Commander Liang and his son just because heâs strong and he has the support of the Yang clan. We have to avenge our Commander!â
Lin Ruoxi squinted and chuckled, âLiang clanâs soldiers? If thatâs the case, why didnât you just kill us? Why did you guys pretend to be police officers just to kidnap us?â
Something glinted in his eyes, âAs expected of the genius businesswoman of China, youâre still as sharp as ever even though youâve quit your job. Thatâs right, we have an ulterior motive.â
Lin Ruoxi looked away. She had a rough idea of things now.
âMadam Lin, donât be too proud. We arenât killing you two yet because we have a better plan for revenge,â he grinned, âOur brothers here have all reached the pinnacle of the Houtian stage. We might be formidable in China but itâs still insufficient to face the Yang clan. We know that Yang Chen can act so cocky because of his cultivation technique or else you wouldnât have been able to reach the pinnacle of the Houtian stage in such a short time. Besides that, your daughterâs cultivation is impressive too...â
Lin Ruoxi snickered, âYouâve been beating around the bush because you donât dare to kill us...youâre only trying to trick us to get the cultivation technique. You guys are only trying to distract us by claiming that youâre avenging the Liang clan.â
The acne faced guy turned stiff at her words.
Lin Ruoxi showed no mercy and she looked at him with an icy gaze, âGo back and tell Ning Guangyao that he should give up on using such methods to trick me. Iâm still part of the Yang clan even if my husband has yet to return!â
