Gazing up at the heavy artillery mounted along the walls and the multitude of guards stationed at the wall and the entrance, Yao Ran's heart sank.
'It won't be easy to escape once we get inside,' she thought.
Noticing the change in her expression, Jiang Chen moved closer and whispered, "Don't worry. I just received an update from headquarters. There has been a slight change in the plan, but everything is still under control."
Hearing this, Yao Ran gave him a slight nod and remained silent to avoid drawing suspicion from the kidnappers.
After walking for a while, the leader said, "Wait here."
Leaving those words behind, he approached one of the soldiers guarding the side gate.
With her head lowered, Yao Ran's gaze followed the leader. When she saw him show a coin to the soldier, she took note of its shape and color.
Before long, the leader returned and commanded, "Let's go. Once we hand them over to the soldiers, we can collect our payment."
