The owner of the voice seemed to want to say something else, but then there was a sigh, and footsteps sounded.
Soon, the room fell silent again.
Nie Yin’s voice sounded in Kong Rui’s ear. “You’re awake!”
Nie Yin wasn’t asking, but was certain that Kong Rui had been awake.
Kong Rui knew that if she continued to pretend, she would arouse Nie Yin’s suspicion, so she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nie Yin innocently.
“What is this place?” Kong Rui’s voice sounded soft and weak. “Who are you?” However, Nie Yin didn’t seem to be affected by Kong Rui’s weak appearance. Instead, he stared at Kong Rui’s face as he asked, “Have you been awake this entire time?”
Kong Rui pursed her lips aggrievedly. “I felt groggy until someone pinched my face.”
“But when I heard what you guys just said, I didn’t dare to look.”
“Where is this place? Why did you guys capture me?”
As Kong Rui spoke, she acted even more aggrieved and tears actually welled up in her eyes.
Nie Yin didn’t respond. He stared at Kong Rui for a long time before finally letting down his guard.
He took two steps back before saying to Kong Rui, “This is the Nie family’s residence.”
“The Nie family’s residence? Why did you capture me? I don’t know you! Let me go!” Kong Rui immediately propped herself up, as if she wanted to escape.
Nie Yin revealed a speculative expression. “You’re not a local? Why do you live in Fragrant Garden? What’s your relationship with the owner of Fragrant Garden?”
Kong Rui was stumped by Nie Yin’s question.
After a while, she sobbed softly and said, “I just came here a few days ago when I was still unfamiliar with the place. I happened to meet a kind woman, who brought me to Fragrant Garden.”
“It’s just that I don’t know which bastard threatened to shut down Fragrant Garden!”
“Things haven’t been good in Fragrant Garden these days, so I’ve been looking around to see if there’s a suitable job that can temporarily help me fill my stomach.”
“As for the owner of Fragrant Garden, I haven’t seen her since I arrived. I heard from the madam that she’s quite mysterious!”
Seeing how sincere Kong Rui was, Nie Yin’s doubts dissipated.
He had sent people to keep an eye on Fragrant Garden for many days. Other than a few attendants, only this woman often went in and out of Fragrant Garden.
He thought that this woman was a maidservant of the master of Fragrant Garden, so he wanted to capture her to obtain some information. Unexpectedly, she was just a girl who was working there.
Nie Yin immediately felt that this girl was useless, so he prepared to dismiss her.
Before Nie Yin could speak, he heard Kong Rui say, “I heard that master has been looking for something recently.”
“What is it?” Nie Yin immediately asked.
Kong Rui frowned and thought for a long time before saying, “I’m not sure, but I heard that they’re two children.”
“Children?” Nie Yin’s expression changed, then he stood up and walked to the door quickly.
Kong Rui heard Nie Yin instruct the guards at the door, “Take good care of this girl. Don’t let her leave for the next few days!”
After the guard received the order, he immediately guarded the door tightly.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows, then lay on the bed and stared at the curtains on the top of the bed as she snorted. “As expected, you kidnapped my two babies!”

“Young Master!” A soldier in silver armor stood outside the cave and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Where are they?” Nie Yin asked with a displeased expression.
“They’re all inside!” The soldier immediately replied respectfully.
Nie Yin quickly walked deeper into the cave.
The tunnel in the cave was only half a meter wide. As people walked into it, their clothes might be torn by the protruding rocks.
Along the way, oil lamps hung on both sides of the cave and the weak light reflected black shadows on the walls of the cave.
Nie Yin ignored the shadows and walked into the cave quickly.
Nie Yin only slowed down when he heard the sound of the stream in front of him.
After walking to the front of the stream, Nie Yin formed a hand seal and chanted silently.
Soon, the stream separated in the middle, and a staircase descended.
Nie Yin walked down the stairs as the stream slowly converged behind him.
Nie Yin walked down the stairs until he saw a beam of light again.
Accompanied by the light, there was a series of curses.
The sounds reverberated in the cave..
