Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ning Xi was on high alert at the moment . She was closely observing what was happening outside, but the two guards were like plastic models . She almost could not hear their breathing and no one else was coming . They did not reply to any of her questions as well .

Another half an hour passed, and Ning Xi’s expression darkened .

Only they were able to assemble a group of A-rank mercenaries to take a child away from the Lu family .

There would only be one reason for this . Lu Tingxiao must have started resisting, and they might have been pushed into a corner, so they wanted to use Little Treasure to threaten the Lu family .

She had thought of this angle from the start . Since they had demands, she was not really worried that they would hurt Little Treasure .

However, as time passed by, she felt like things were not right .

If they were trying to use Little Treasure to threaten the Lu family, they should have stated their demands to Lu Chongshan when they first abducted Little Treasure . Even if they missed the chance, they should have already contacted the Lu family by now . Their disadvantages would pile up as time went by .

Why did they not contact the Lu family?

Unless…

She hugged Little Treasure even tighter as she thought of a certain possibility .

After some time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door .

The leader with the letter “K” on his mask was talking to the two guards .

Ning Xi’s sharp eyes saw shock on the face of one of the guards .

What had the “K” said that could cause such a reaction from him?

They did not seem to care that she was here and spoke in a loud voice . Ning Xi heard a few phrases, “tonight midnight”, “it’s an order from above”, “keep that woman” . . .

Ning Xi combined the phrases together and her blood froze .

He had specifically mentioned “keep that woman” . What did that mean?

Discard the child?

The sound of footsteps faded away as the leader left and silence returned again .

Ning Xi could not stop shivering .

“Mommy…” Little Treasure looked at his mother anxiously as he could tell that she was very shaken up by her emotions .

Ning Xi hugged him tightly . “It’s alright…”

It was alright . . . Nothing bad will happen…

Mommy will not let bad things happen to you!

Ning Xi did everything she could to calm herself down . Her expression changed the next moment . She clutched her stomach and had a painful expression on her face .

“Mommy?” The calm-looking Little Treasure had a change in expression as well when he saw what happened to Ning Xi . He looked over in alarm . “What’s happened, Mommy?”

Ning Xi could not say anything . Her body started twitching and she was groaning painfully .

“Mommy!”

The guard on the right side turned around and looked inside when he heard something . He frowned .

As he was about to act, the other guard stopped him . “What are you doing?”

“She…”

“Don’t do anything unnecessary,” his partner warned him .

The guard hesitated a little, then returned to his post .

After that, Ning Xi’s reaction gradually became stronger . She was rolling around in pain and was knocking her head against the wall . Blood streamed down her face .
