Chapter 87 The moonlight was bright, as if it were a child's image.
Ning Yao was carried along the way, and all she could hear were the two burly men speaking some bird language that she couldn't understand.
She had a terrible headache; she never expected to encounter such a distressing situation on her very first day in Country Y.
Ning Yao calmly discerned the languages spoken by the two kidnappers, mentally sifting through potential enemies who might harm her.
She came to Country Y under an assumed name. How could anyone receive the news so quickly and know that she was in Country Y?
The first possibility is that these people were sent by Clauris. Clauris was wary of the evidence of her infidelity and was also angry that she had tricked her at the jade gambling convention, making her buy a piece of junk at a high price. So she sent people to teach her a lesson, intending to kidnap her and force her to submit.
The second possibility is that these people also participated in the jade gambling event. They were not organized, nor were they under anyone's orders. They were simply envious of her jade. However, they didn't need to take her away. They could have directly asked her where she had hidden the jade.
The first possibility is obviously the most likely, and Clauris has become Ning Yao's number one suspect.
Suddenly, the burly man carrying her stopped. His voice grew louder, and even though Ning Yao couldn't understand what he meant, she knew that the two of them had started arguing.
Ning Yao was thrown to the ground by the burly man. The moment she hit the ground, Ning Yao turned pale with pain, but her hands and feet were tied behind her back, and she could not move.
The two men started fighting, and the sound of punches and kicks echoed around them, occasionally accompanied by the men's screams and groans.
Ning Yao tried her best to find the knot of the rope binding her, intending to save herself.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the dark burlap sack covering Ning Yao was torn open, and the light shone into her eyes, stinging them terribly.
Having spent too long in the sack, Ning Yao squinted, trying to adjust to the surrounding light.
She was in a small alley. Ning Yao was sitting on the ground when she first saw a pair of limited-edition white men's sneakers. She looked up, somewhat bewildered, and then realized that the man standing in front of her was the same black-haired, blue-eyed, noble man she had met in the first-class cabin.
Behind him stood two Chinese bodyguards in plain clothes. The bodyguards were all quite tall, which made the blue-eyed man appear even taller.
The two burly men who had just kidnapped him were now rolling on the ground howling in pain, covered in injuries, clearly from the beatings they had sustained.
Ning Yao stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her pants.
"Thank you for saving me," she said to the blue-eyed man.
The blue-eyed man remained indifferent, staring intently at Ning Yao. His deep eyes held an unfathomable emotion.
The man paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and replied, "Your hotel room isn't safe. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere else."
"Wait for me." Ning Yao said, then turned around and found the kidnapper who was holding her from behind.
After confirming his identity, Ning Yao narrowed her beautiful fox-like eyes, sneered, raised her foot, and kicked the burly man with a bloodied face without any hesitation, hitting the most vulnerable part of his body.
She was a trained fighter; that kick used almost 70-80% of her strength, enough to give him a hard time.
The man was beaten until he was weak and exhausted. Then, without warning, he was kicked by a high heel. He screamed in pain and fainted on the spot.
The blue-eyed man gave Ning Yao a meaningful look, his deep eyes seeming to ask her what she meant by this.
"When that lowlife tied me up, his hands were indecent and he touched my chest." Ning Yao's voice was icy cold.
She couldn't swallow her anger without crippling his manhood.
Upon hearing this, the blue-eyed man's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly.
"So, Miss Bella, are you satisfied now?"
Ning Yao walked up to the blue-eyed man in her high heels, and readily agreed without any hesitation.
"Let's go, please lead the way, sir."
If this man intended to harm her, he wouldn't have bothered rescuing her from those two kidnappers; he could have simply pretended not to see anything.
Ning Yao sized up the man, realizing that he had sent people to follow her and keep an eye on her ever since she got off the plane.
Otherwise, how could a robber happen to be accompanied by bodyguards when walking in such a narrow alley?
The man definitely has something on his mind, and she'll probably find out what it is later.
Before leaving, the blue-eyed man casually made a gesture to his bodyguard, who immediately understood.
After the man and Ning Yao had walked away, the bodyguard half-squatted in front of the robber on the ground and pulled out an extremely sharp Swiss Army knife from his trouser leg.
The blade gleamed coldly under the streetlights.
"Tsk, of all people to touch, you had to go and mess with our boss's woman. You'd better keep your eyes open in the future..."
Ning Yao followed the man into his car, and the two of them sat in the back seat one after the other.
The car started moving slowly. Ning Yao looked out the window, her mind racing as she considered what to do.
She needs to find a way to inform her people about her situation so that they can provide timely assistance if anything unexpected happens.
"Miss Bella, aren't you going to ask where I'm taking you?" the man beside her suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Ning Yao smiled, a smile that looked innocent, but her eyes revealed an unfathomable depth and confidence.
"You'll know when you get there, why ask?"
"Miss Bella is indeed incredibly brave."
The man curled his lips into a smile, his handsome face appearing both righteous and wicked in the dim light of the car interior.
The little fox beside me is no soft, cuddly sheep to be slaughtered. If pushed too far, it might be even fiercer than a stray cat on the street.
He had seen it clearly just now. Even if no one came to her rescue, she had already untied most of the ropes binding the little fox's wrists. She was captured most likely because the other party attacked her from the shadows. If it were an open fight, Ning Yao might not necessarily lose even if she were fighting two against one.
Where did she learn such amazing skills?
Those beautiful fox-like eyes sometimes appeared innocent and clear, and at other times seemed to have seen through all emotions and desires, filled with despair and silence.
It seems that he has no choice but to be patient and let Ning Yao lower her guard so that she can tell him in person about her pain, her experiences, and everything she has gone through.
Countless thoughts flashed through the man's mind, but he eventually calmed down.
The car drove to a remote European-style manor in the suburbs. The scenery along the way was beautiful, full of forests and vegetation, and the air was fresh and pleasant.
When the car came to a stop, Ning Yao got out and looked at the manor in front of her. She was instantly mesmerized, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The manor is surrounded by large fields of purple lavender, and a giant apricot-colored windmill stands among the flowers, its blades turning gently in the wind.
Not far away stands a well-constructed ancient Roman castle, with a European-style clock tower on its side.
The moonlight was intense, its soft rays bathing the lavender flowers and leaves, reflecting a serene, fairytale-like scene.
Ning Yao stood beside the car and silently opened her lips, completely stunned by the scene before her.
