The Fake Heiress and Her Five Villainous Brothers-Chapter 3: Play Hide and Seek

When the car drove to the suburbs, it stopped. Yuan Luoyi was taken to an abandoned small villa.

The four kidnappers began to act separately. One person patrolled back and forth at the door to keep watch. Two people rested in the house. Another kidnapper held a knife, staring at Yuan Luoyi, not allowing her to move.

This was not their first time kidnapping a rich lady. They had some work experience.

They had initially formed a process of investigation, tracking, kidnapping, threatening, transacting with cryptocurrency, and finally eliminating traces.

They also had to bury the little girl's corpse well. She would never be able to return home again.

It was an assembly line operation, fast and skilled.

The ancient Yuan family was frightening, but also very rich. They felt professional enough to seek wealth in danger.

The kidnapper asked: "Who in your family usually manages the money?"

Yuan Luoyi said: "It's my big brother. My dad is busy developing new weapons and has handed over all the family's resources and connections to him to manage."

"What's his phone number?"

"I don't know."

"You're his only little sister, how could you not know?"

"Because he just returned to the country recently."

"Then whose number do you know?"

"My dad's number is confidential because of his work. I know my mom's number, but it's best not to call my family. Please let me go back soon, otherwise..."

"Shut up! We won't release you until the money arrives! Hey! You stupid kid, you don't even remember your family's phone numbers. Let's call your mom then. Quick, say it."

Yuan Luoyi hesitated and reported the phone number. Yuan's mother was very beautiful and glamorous, but had a bit of a temper, and her job was an assassin...

She would definitely be furious when she got the call.

No, the whole Yuan family should be very angry.

The Yuan family, with the double-headed snake as their totem, had a family style like snakes - extremely vengeful, and an eye for an eye, a life for an eye, returning harm manifold.

The whole family seemed to have made an invisible oath that once a family member suffered injustice or danger, the whole family would take action together, even if it took them years to get full revenge.

So everyone feared the Yuan family.

So Yuan Luoyi could never make friends.

Next was the waiting time. Yuan Luoyi sat down and did what she was best at when dejected - spacing out completely.

It was really nice to not have to go to school today.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from behind.

Yuan Luoyi looked back and found that the kidnapper guarding her had disappeared. Her big brother Yuan Ao walked out of the shadows. As he looked at his little sister, his gaze was as overbearing as ever, sending chills down people's spines.

He approached step by step, his footsteps silent. Yuan Luoyi's heart pounded wildly with anxiety.

After being kidnapped, Yuan Luoyi was not anxious for another reason - she had a locator on her. Her family would find her sooner or later.

She just didn't expect her big brother Yuan Ao to be the first to arrive. He was usually busy coming and going, working very hard.

Yuan Ao asked in a low voice: "Did you get hurt?"

Yuan Luoyi said: "No."

Yuan Ao looked around and heard voices coming from a room not far away. The arrogant kidnappers were having a celebration feast inside, because the money Yuan's mother had promised was far beyond their imagination.

Yuan Ao smiled. His whole body was immersed in the shadows, with only his eyes giving off a terrible cold light.

It felt like a venomous snake was crawling up Yuan Luoyi's ankles, flicking its tongue, baring its fangs, scales rustling, craving slaughter, sending chills down people's spines.

Yuan Luoyi took a step back in fear.

Yuan Ao noticed and restrained his expression a little. He gently said to Yuan Luoyi: "Big brother wants to play hide and seek with you, is that okay?"

It was a bit strange to play games in the kidnappers' house, but Yuan Luoyi, who had been startled by her brothers for years, knew -

When her brother's eyes turned very cold, it was best not to ask too much.

Yuan Luoyi nodded: "Okay."

"You stand here, cover your ears, close your eyes, count to 100, then come find me."

"What if I can't find you?"

"Don't worry, you will definitely find me. Let's start the game then."

"Okay."

Yuan Luoyi closed her eyes and covered her ears, and started counting.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

When she counted to 30, Yuan Luoyi seemed to hear brief shrieks, but they were so faint, so brief, that they disappeared after a while.

A faint rusty smell diffused in the air. She thought about it for a while, and felt it was more like the smell of blood.

But everything was blurry, real and fake mixed together, making it impossible to see the truth.

Just like her five brothers, everyone was carefully hiding their dark sides.

The little sister was a timid little hamster in a snake pit. The snakes bared their fangs, coiling around the hamster with their bodies. Their cold scales sunk into the soft fur, hissing deep in their throats...

But this was not for slaughter, it was for protection.

The five of them were probably the gentlest vipers in the world to the little hamster.

"...96, 97, 98, 99, 100!"

Yuan Luoyi opened her eyes and lowered her hands.

"Are you hidden well?"

"Big brother, I'm coming to find you!"

The dim room was dead silent. No one responded. Looking around, she discovered the corner of Yuan Ao's clothes. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

He was hiding behind the curtains!

Yuan Luoyi excitedly ran over, her little hands grabbing the curtains.

"Swish!"

She forcefully pulled them open. Bright sunlight poured in, illuminating everything around. Yuan Luoyi's eyes were like clear lake water, shimmering.

Yuan Ao stood against the light. His tall, thin figure cast black shadows that softly enveloped Yuan Luoyi.

He opened his arms to his little sister, smiling as he said: "Congratulations on finding me."

"Hahaha, I win!" Yuan Luoyi let out a child's laughter, sounding like silver bells.

Impulsively, Yuan Ao reached out to her, as if wanting to touch her.

The laughter stopped abruptly as Yuan Luoyi stared at the bloodstains on Yuan Ao's white cuffs.

Yuan Ao sighed helplessly, letting his hands drop to his sides: "Sorry...I scared you..."

More bloody smells came from the room. Yuan Luoyi looked over at the room where the kidnappers had rested earlier. It was pitch black inside, with something flowing on the floor, eerily quiet...

Was that blood?

Yuan Ao suddenly walked over, blocking Yuan Luoyi's line of sight: "Let's go out. They should have arrived."

"Okay." Yuan Luoyi followed her big brother out.

Outside, blue and red lights flashed alternatingly. Police officers ran into the room holding their weapons. They also had a beautiful bloodhound. Its black eyes looked at Yuan Luoyi as its tail wagged slightly.

Yuan's Mother rushed over and hugged Yuan Luoyi tightly, sobbing: "My baby, did they hurt you?"

Yuan Luoyi said: "No, I'm fine."

Only then was Yuan's Mother relieved.

The other brothers had also arrived. They stood quietly in the crowd, their gazes so cold it was frightening. When their eyes swept over the masses, they were completely emotionless. They were already abnormal, unable to empathize with ordinary people.

However, when they looked at Yuan Luoyi, there would always be a hint of tenderness welling up in their eyes.

They were caring about their little sister in their own way.

Yuan Luoyi asked: "Mom, what time is it now?"

Yuan's Mother said: "It's already 10 o'clock."

"Do I still have to go to school for class?"

"Go to class for what? You must have been so frightened. Mom will get you a month off. Rest well!"

This was an unexpected joy. Yuan Luoyi was very happy.
