The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 279

Rong Dai did not know that her careful misunderstanding had misunderstood the Blind Old Woman. She curled up into a ball and leaned against a rock out of the wind.

Although the spring breeze was still a bit cold, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

She relied entirely on her willpower to prop herself up and not let herself fall asleep, but her head involuntarily nodded up and down.

She hugged her phone tightly, hoping that Huo Shao Ting would come soon.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in and froze her, instantly waking her up fully!

Rong Dai quickly looked around to make sure it was still safe, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought she had braced herself for a long time, but when she secretly glanced at the time on her phone screen, she felt for the first time that time passed so slowly.

She thought she had dozed off for at least an hour, but it turned out to only be a dozen minutes or so!

She turned off the screen, pulled her already dirty coat tight, and vigilantly looked around with her jet-black eyes. There was no more sleepiness.

The sound of the night wind blew a bit creepy. Rong Dai was glued to the rock without moving.

"Didn't you say that woman was walking this road? Where is she?"

After about ten minutes or so, Rong Dai vaguely heard someone talking.

She immediately became vigilant, and her pair of jet-black eyes narrowed.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Five or six minutes later, the voices were getting closer, and there were two men!

Who would come out here to this remote place so late at night?

Moreover, there were mountains all around here, and no towns could be seen at all.

She had just come down the mountain not long ago, and people had come along the road to find her so soon. This could not be such a coincidence.

These past two days when the Blind Old Woman was away from the hut, she would always take the opportunity to sneak down the mountain and take a look. She didn't see anyone around this place.

Now it was already late into the night, and these two people appeared here at this time. She did not think they came here to take a walk and digest their meal.

Rong Dai involuntarily slowed her breathing and curled up even tighter, while groping in her bag for a dagger and grasping it in her hand.

"That damned old woman, she only asked for 100 million! If I had known it would be so easy to get money, I should have met that woman myself!"

"She really made things easy for herself! When I get back, I must beat that old woman to death! That old thing that won't die, not only doesn't have the ability to give me a wealthy life of luxury, but also missed such a good opportunity and only took 100 million!"

Rong Dai pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

When she heard one of the men curse and seem to kick stones by the roadside to vent his anger, she couldn't help but feel cold!

As expected, human greed is endless like a snake swallowing an elephant!

Even 100 million was still considered too little to them!

If she didn't have this embroidery skill, and didn't inherit so much legacy from An Feiya, and her husband wasn't from such an affluent family like the Huo's.

Which ordinary family could casually take out 100 million to ransom someone? Without even blinking an eye?

However, that being said, if she were just an ordinary person without this status, she wouldn't have been kidnapped in the first place.

Hearing the cursing sounds getting closer and closer, she hurried back to her senses. Every cell in her body was on high alert!

She thought the path the Blind Old Woman had pointed out to her was wrong, but she didn't expect it to be correct!

Because these two men's voices were getting closer and closer to her. She could even clearly hear their footsteps.

Rong Dai unconsciously held her breath, trying to shrink her body as much as possible to avoid being seen.

Although it was night now, the other party was shining flashlights around everywhere. A little carelessness could lead to her discovery.

Rong Dai's heart was in her throat.

If it was one on one, she was still confident in her fist and kick skills.

But all of a sudden there were two men. She didn't stand a chance at all!

Rong Dai kept listening carefully to what these two men were saying while quickly thinking about countermeasures. She had to prepare for the worst.

These were two men. If she was caught by them, anything could happen!

Robbery she could still barely accept, although it would still sting a lot. But losing her chastity, she would rather die than give in!

Rong Dai's mind was full of the worst possible outcomes. Her heart pounded loudly like beating a drum. Her palms were full of sticky sweat.

"How did that woman get away so quickly? Are you sure the old lady told you the right path?"

This time it was the other person speaking, full of suspicion in his tone.

Rong Dai felt complicated.

Just now, for safety reasons, she didn't keep walking straight down the path on the left.

She didn't expect the Blind Old Woman to be so credible. She had dug a pit for herself.

The two men suddenly stopped nearby. Rong Dai heard the sound of a lighter, followed by the smell of smoke drifting downwind.

She wrinkled her nose, held her breath, and gripped the dagger tightly!

If they found her and made a move, she would not be polite!

These people had lost all conscience. Even death would not be a pity for them!

The two men stood in place chattering, probably smoking two cigarettes’ time, before starting to walk again.

Hearing their footsteps getting farther and farther away, Rong Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

But she didn't dare make any rash moves either, still staying motionless by the rocks.

What she didn't expect was that the two men returned half an hour later, and stayed at the previous spot for more than ten minutes again.

Rong Dai’s heart nearly jumped out of her throat!

Fortunately, the two did not find her hiding place this time either. When their footsteps gradually faded away, she finally relaxed.

After the two men had completely walked away, Rong Dai realized that half of her body had gone numb and stiff.

Plus her highly strained nerves from earlier. It made her dizzy and see spots float by.

To prevent herself from fainting, she bit into the muscle below her thumb.

The pain came, and after a moment she could see clearly again.

She panted heavily with open mouth, but didn’t dare make a peep.

She looked at the time on her phone, a full hour had passed.

The surroundings were silent, only occasionally some noises of animals from the surrounding mountains could be heard.

Such an environment would subconsciously make people tense up. Rong Dai was no exception.

She buried her head in her coat, opened her phone and looked at their shared location.

Seeing Huo Shao Ting’s dot getting closer and closer to her, her heart pounded wildly again!

She was eager to get away from this place, and also to see him sooner!

Whether it was before rebirth or after rebirth, the unbelievable things she had experienced were really too many!

Her experience over the past four days was like a nightmare to her!

She also didn’t expect that she could be kidnapped in broad daylight even in a big metropolitan city like Shenjing!

Rong Dai gripped her phone tightly, watching the red dot getting closer and closer. From the distance came the “whirring” sound of helicopter rotor blades from the night sky.

She suddenly raised her head to look up at the sky. Two helicopters appeared!
