The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Tie them up first. Kim Geun-joon's previous plan fell apart, and he lost too much money. Let's see if we can use these guys as hostages to get some money back, as a way of showing respect to the boss." The foreman threw over the rope and ordered his men to tie up the two maids as well.

"Hello, are you Chu Yinan's family?" Worried, Shibuya Yi put down her work and called Chu Yinan's family to confirm the situation.

Not only did he stop sending location information, but he also didn't reply to her messages, leaving her feeling uneasy.

Bei Yutang answered the phone. She thought it was Chu Yinan calling, but it wasn't.

"Yes, I'm his sister. Who are you?"

"I'm Prosecutor Shibuya Yoshimi, the person who mentored him during his internship. Has Chu Yinan gone home?" Normally, Shibuya Yoshimi might have jokingly thought to herself that this phone call sounded like a homeroom teacher contacting a parent, but she wasn't in the mood for that at all right now.

Bei Yutang was also waiting for her younger brother to come home. Chu Yinan had said he would come back as soon as possible before he left, saying he was going to entertain the prosecutor as a client. But he hadn't shown up yet, and she couldn't get through to him on the phone. The phone message said the number was switched off.

"No, I can't get through to him on the phone, and he hasn't come back. Chu Nan said he was having dinner with you, but where is he?"

Shibuya Yi paused for a moment, her ominous premonition seemingly becoming a reality. She briefly explained the situation to Bei Yutang, offered a few words of reassurance, and then quickly made an internal call to inform Mandy at the police station.

The moment the call connected, Mandy's irritating voice came through:

"Hey, why are you calling me? I'm about to leave work. Are you still working overtime? Oh no!"

"Make some coffee, work overtime, and check the surveillance footage of the ferry terminal and bus station near Rose West Road. Chu Yinan has disappeared; it's probably retaliation against him by Representative Locke and his group."

Mandy glanced at the time; she had already packed her things and was ready to go home. She had no choice but to sit back down and order a newly recruited officer to make coffee. At the same time, she asked someone to check the surveillance footage and request AI assistance.

"Going to take revenge on a child, that's really something."

Chapter 83 Attempting to Escape

"you're awake?"

Chu Yinan slowly opened her eyes and heard a sentence that made her heart stop, but fortunately, the owner of the voice was undoubtedly a girl.

The only thing that was certain was that she was a stranger, but Chu Yinan still tried to remember her hairstyle. Her light golden hair had a silvery glamorous feel in the dim light. It looked like she had long hair, but she had deliberately tied it up in a princess braid, making it look like shoulder-length short hair.

Her figure was graceful and captivating; even through her conservative maid outfit, one could feel the fullness and power of her pectoral muscles.

There was another maid next to him, but Chu Yinan couldn't see her from his perspective. He was currently tied to a pillar and it was difficult for him to even turn over.

After calming down, Chu Yinan realized what trouble he had encountered; it seemed he had been kidnapped.

He was now bound in a pretzel shape with thin nylon rope, his hands tied behind his buttocks, and the only knot that could be untied was on his abdomen, giving him absolutely no chance.

Moreover, although this type of nylon rope is thin, it is very difficult to break free or tear it by brute force. You might even cut your skin with the rope and still not be able to break free.

"Hello, where am I now?" Chu Yinan asked.

"Did you hear the ferry? That should be at the cargo terminal on Twin Islands, and we're trapped in a container." The light blonde maid was very calm, but the melancholy in her tone seemed to indicate her helplessness at this moment.

"Are we being held hostage? The security situation on Twin Islands is rather worrying," another maid said with concern.

Chu Yinan really wanted to refute it, but it seemed that anything she said now would lack persuasiveness.

Although the two maids might have been kidnapped, Chu Yinan felt as if they were targeting him, probably because they had ruined someone's plans and were being retaliated against.

"Is there a way to contact AI?" That was the only thing Chu Yinan could think of.

“No, the patrol drones here have all been hacked and are now disabled in this container. You might not be able to see them from your angle, but I can see them very clearly from here. There are a dozen or twenty drones piled up here like garbage.” The light blonde maid asked, “Do you have the strength to move your body now? If so, we can try to help you untie them.”

The conversation came to an abrupt end as someone entered, someone Chu Yinan never expected—Jin Genjun.

"What, it's you? After failing to woo the boss's daughter and your college classmate, are you now trying to build relationships by kidnapping a noblewoman's maid?" Chu Yinan started mocking him as soon as they met, especially since they were meeting in a place like this. He must have been involved in the kidnapping incident!

Kim Geun-joon was furious about what Chu Yinan had mentioned, but he didn't want to lose his temper in front of a brat, that would be too embarrassing: "You glib-tongued brat who has ruined my plans time and time again, you should worry about yourself. Who knows, you might become food for some fish?"

"Retaliation? Did you instigate the attack on Congressman Locke?" Chu Yinan couldn't quite connect him with Congressman Locke, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to be preparing to leave the island by sea, most likely fleeing.

His current job is going smoothly, so his sudden desire to escape Twin Islands can only be something that Congressman Locke would do, right?

"Kim Geun-joon, stop talking nonsense." A person outside seemed to be calling Kim Geun-joon by his nickname. "The ship has broken down for some reason. Come over and move all that stuff aside to check it out!"

The door closed again, and all Chu Yinan could see was Jin Genjun's gritted teeth. It seemed that he had really ruined a lot of things for him? Could it be that Teacher Yizhi had also broken ties with him? Good thing, good thing, this kind of guy is too dangerous. From Jiang Xuanya's description, he didn't seem to have a single bit of goodwill.

"So these guys' real target is the children? Is this some kind of undeserved disaster for us?" In a direction Chu Yinan couldn't see, the maid was sighing.

Chu Yinan felt a little embarrassed; it seemed that she had indeed dragged them into this situation.

“There’s no use saying that. Let’s figure out how to get out of here first. They just said the ship is broken. This is an opportunity,” another maid said.

While Chu Yinan was unconscious, the two maids had already considered the feasibility. It was generally feasible, but the prerequisite was that Chu Yinan had the strength to move his body. Otherwise, it would all be in vain, and if the guys outside found out, it would anger them.

"Yes, but can you untie it? Even if you do, it will be difficult for us to leave here, as they may have more people."

Chu Yinan wiggled his fingers and accidentally touched the slender calves of the maid behind him. They were made of high-end stockings, and judging from the feel, they were probably quite sheer.

"But we have to try. I just overheard their conversation, and their motivation for revenge might be stronger than their motivation for money. Once you've untied it, please help us untie it quickly!" the maid said in a soft voice, her tone serious yet her voice so low that it barely echoed in the small space.

Before long, Chu Yinan knew how the two maids were going to help him escape while he was unable to move his hands and feet.

The maid with pale golden hair bent her slender, supple waist with all her might, lowered her head to his stomach, bit the knot that was protruding there, and used her teeth and tongue to untie the knot little by little. Chu Yinan, who was in the middle of it, couldn't help but feel restless.

His clothes weren't thick, and he could feel the maid's warm breath through the fabric on every part of his body.

From an outsider's perspective, this scene would probably require searching for similar content on some strange websites.

Chu Yinan knew this wasn't good, but the constant touching made him feel uncontrollably hot-headed (meaning his brain was overheating).

"Behave yourself. My tongue is about to cramp up trying to untie this knot. Don't create any more obstacles for me, no matter how cute you are." After reminding her, the maid bent down again and painstakingly untied the knot.

"I'm sorry," Chu Yinan apologized awkwardly, trying her best to control herself.

Before long, the core knot in front was untied. This silver-tongued maid had done all she could, but it was far from enough. After the rope had been wrapped around her body, it would be quite difficult to break free of the rope completely without the knot.

However, the two maids had already planned ahead.

Soon, Chu Yinan felt the maid behind him loosening the ropes on his back with her toes, and also loosening the ropes on his ankles. It seemed that this was an effort made while he was unconscious.

"Success!" Chu Yinan was both delighted and astonished. It's true that you can see anything if you live long enough. These two maids' tongues and toes are too flexible!

"Hurry up and help us untie this!" the maid urged.

"Okay!" Chu Yinan didn't dare to delay and quickly untied the ropes for the two of them.

Thanks to this hard-won freedom, Chu Yinan was able to see the appearance of another skilled maid. Due to face blindness, he could not make out her features, but he could confirm that her hair was medium-short and showed signs of being styled and combed, although it was slightly disheveled due to this sudden encounter.

Just as Chu Yinan untied them, the container door suddenly opened!

The programmer opened the door; he had been sent to check on the hostages, but unexpectedly, he hit the bullseye this time!

"What are you doing—wait!"

The light blonde maid rushed out and elbowed him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"Little friend, you go first, head towards an open and well-lit area. Once the surveillance cameras spot you, someone will come to rescue you soon!"

Chapter 84 Outside, it's all Azu

"Damn it, where did this rat come from? Why did it chew through the engine wires!" The burly man with an idol tattoo on his biceps moved the clutter in the cabin to the side. Frustrated with moving things, he threw many items directly into the water.

These "cargoes" are just a gimmick and don't actually serve much purpose. Throwing them away would reduce the ship's load and increase its speed later.

The team leader, the foreman, picked up the broken thread, examined it for a moment, and said, "These neat bite marks don't seem like something a rat could do."

"That's most likely it."

The Mediterranean programmer patted a robot vacuum cleaner in the corner. The AI ​​must have discovered them. It controlled the robot vacuum cleaner to cut the cord. There was no other possibility. He threw the robot vacuum cleaner into the sea and reported the interesting discovery to the foreman.

"Foreman, I just discovered that immediately after I hijacked the bus, Turing Tower launched multiple data attacks on this side. Fortunately, we had the assistance of the gray AI. This is the first time I've seen an AI react so aggressively and violently. It seems they are quite concerned about this little brat."

"An interesting discovery. I wonder how those rational monsters will react when faced with this little hostage. Will they be able to maintain their rationality? Or will they show their human hesitation?" The foreman had a sudden thought, but he didn't indulge in his imagination. The most important thing now was to fix the line and then sail away from the island.

Suddenly, a subordinate's voice came through the primitive walkie-talkie, reporting in a panic: "Foreman, they've escaped!"

The foreman reacted quickly, ordering, "Programmer, you stay here and keep fixing it. Kim Geun-joon, come upstairs with me to help. Don't tell me you can't even handle two women and a child."

The two maids were probably trained; relying on the advantage of a surprise attack and a physics-based holy sword they picked up from the ground, they quickly dealt with the two tall and strong enemies.

However, it was estimated that the effects of the drug in the car had not completely worn off, and they were not in good condition. In just a short while, they were panting heavily and could barely lift their hands that were holding the crowbars. In addition, after being tied to the ground for a long time, they suddenly stood up and moved around violently, which caused them to suffer from temporary orthostatic anemia. The dizziness and weakness made them have no choice but to retreat when facing several strong men.

Even so, they did their best to create precious time for Chu Yinan's escape, blocking the path of those people in pursuit.

"Ignore those two women, chase that brat!" the foreman roared, the sound of the ship's engine whirring in his ears. Now, all he had to do was catch those two brats and leave.

There were only thirteen workers stationed on the ship, plus three technicians, so there were only ten who could actually act as thugs. After the two maids had taken down three of them, there were still seven left to deal with. Feeling powerless was perhaps the best description of their feelings at that moment.

"If I were in a slightly better condition..." The light blonde maid pursed her pale lips.

With cover provided, Chu Yinan's escape was not smooth, just like Abin's less-than-ideal high school grades.

The lingering numbness still affected him; two of his three legs were limp, while the one that required the least mental effort was not under his control, severely slowing down his already slow running speed.

For the first time, he felt like he had been spoiled rotten by his aunt and sisters at home. He was already panting and his vision was turning white after running only a thousand meters.

This maze made of stacked shipping containers is incredibly frustrating. Even when the light is just a short distance ahead, you end up in a dead end after going through two different places.

No, it's probably just that he hasn't figured out the pattern of the container placement; it couldn't possibly be this chaotic.

Kim Geun-joon appeared out of nowhere, blocking Chu Yinan's path with a wrench in his hand and looking at him with ill intent.

"Run? Where can you run to? With your short legs and body that's been around for over a decade, how do you think you can run?!"

He was now filled with nameless rage towards Chu Yinan. What was his own status? A scholarship graduate from a top-tier elite university, from a well-off family, he was a natural-born superior in both appearance and academics. He had a smooth and successful life, and many of the goals of successful people were about to be achieved in less than ten years after his graduation.

But he was just a little short. Ever since this short kid, whose height was practically that of a disabled person, appeared in his field of vision, he had been ruining his plans. It felt just like when Kim Geun-joon had prepared a core journal-level paper for three years, only to have it destroyed by a mangy, ugly cat that barged in and took pictures of it.

Back then, he could still recover the hard drive data and even smash the cat's head with a wrench to vent his anger. But now, he has no chance of recovering the data, and the failure of the plan means that his long-term efforts have been completely aborted.

Some things are so disgusting that you don't need a reason or logic. You don't care how much effort they put in, and you walk each step with trepidation!

"But you're so tall and have such long legs, yet you haven't broken any running records!" Being insulted about his height was a painful experience that Chu Yinan couldn't refute. He could only raise his middle fingers with both hands to greet him, then turn around and run towards the container alleys with corners.

Could a child whose weakness buff hadn't worn off possibly defeat a grown man armed with a wrench? Chu Yinan thought no, he might not even be able to outrun him. He only had one tentative option left to struggle with.

"You can't get away, you little punk!"

Picking up the wrench again, Kim Geun-joon rediscovered the long-lost pleasure he felt when he smashed the cat's skull to vent his anger. But no, he had to catch this brat and bring him back to report. He probably had some connection with the AI, but breaking his kneecap should be no problem!

He longed to savor the exhilarating feeling of slowly toying with his prey, the sense of power to control the other's life, but time did not allow it, and Kim Geun-joon quickly caught up with Chu Yinan.

Just as he turned and ran into that dead end, an unexpected naked stranger punched him hard in the face. Part of it was Kim Geun-jun's own running into him, and part of it was the force of the punch.

Caught off guard, Kim Geun-joon was knocked back a few steps by the punch, landing hard on the concrete floor. Half of his cheek quickly swelled up and turned purple, and his well-maintained hairstyle instantly became disheveled and messy.
