Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1531: Chapter 1521: Heart

Jiang Cheng looked at Hu, who was crying sadly before him, feeling somewhat speechless. He was least capable of dealing with children, especially those crying so sorrowfully.

So... these children were all kidnapped and trafficked. Jiang Cheng’s eyes turned cold; these people were truly excessive, even powerless children had to be...

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng’s hatred for Mo Xiao deepened, and he silently vowed to tear Mo Xiao to pieces.

Jiang Cheng comforted the crying Hu: ”Be good, stop crying. Look, I’ll go down and call people to come up and rescue you. But you’ll have to bear being tied up like this for a while. Don’t worry, I will come back to save you.”

Hu nodded: ”Okay.” After that, Jiang Cheng picked up the rope thrown aside and tied Hu. Though it appeared he was tied up, a slight struggle would allow him to escape easily. After tying him up,

Jiang Cheng instructed Hu again: ”Promise me you won’t move around, and don’t reveal you’ve ever seen me in front of those strangers.”

Hu nodded repeatedly, joy shining in his eyes: ”Brother, I understand, I won’t reveal anything. I will stay here and wait for you to come rescue me.”

Jiang Cheng took one last look at the tied-up children before leaving with Mu Yu without turning back. The children exchanged glances, all showing expressions of happiness.

Hu coughed lightly: ”Keep your voices down, don’t let those bad people hear us. Otherwise, the big brother won’t be able to bring people to rescue us.”

Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu walked out of the cabin, discussing how to rescue the children on the hill: ”We have to divert those people. Otherwise, rescuing the children will be troublesome.”

Mu Yu agreed: ”Indeed, with so many children, it’s impossible to rescue them all at once; it will take some time.”

Jiang Cheng thought of the children being held hostage and felt deeply resentful, annoyed that he couldn’t rescue the children on his own... As if he thought of something, Jiang Cheng suddenly said: ”Right, there are also elderly and women being held, but I don’t know where they are.”

Mu Yu’s face showed worry too: ”Yes, we have to rescue the elderly and women as well. Sigh...”

In the cabin, the tied children stared unblinkingly at the door, eagerly expecting Jiang Cheng to come and save them. But after a long wait, no one came, and they gradually felt a bit disappointed.

Some children even started crying, and their cries caused others to join them in tears.

The cries attracted the person guarding them; a man kicked open the cabin door and shouted inside: ”What are you crying for? It’s annoying!” The children were not deterred and cried even more loudly.

The man couldn’t bear it anymore, walked over, and slapped a child, leaving a red handprint on their face instantly. Seeing this, the other children stopped crying, fearfully looking at the man.

Seeing them silent, the man calmed down a bit, snorted coldly: ”Don’t let me hear a peep from you, or... you’ll regret it!”

Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu entered the cabin upon hearing the commotion, seeing the man threatening the children, instantly furious: ”How can you do this? These are just children.”

The children nodded in fear but covered their mouths, trying hard not to let the man hear their voices. The man glanced at Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu, sneered, and left.

After the man left, the children sighed in relief, fervently hoping Jiang Cheng would rescue them soon.

Meanwhile, in a villa somewhere, Mo Xiao was enjoying coffee and talking business with his partner.

”I heard you’ve been quite successful recently!” Mo Xiao’s partner flattered him. Mo Xiao felt proud but modestly replied, ”Not at all, you surpass me by far.”

As they spoke, a knock suddenly came at the door: ”Thud thud thud.” Momentarily pausing the conversation with his partner, Mo Xiao said: ”Come in.”

A man dressed in black entered after that, bowing slightly: ”Master.” Mo Xiao paused and said to his partner: ”Excuse me, a minor issue, I’ll be back shortly.”

Then he went to the study, sat in a chair: ”Speak, what’s the matter?” The man in black said: ”I found someone on the surveillance.” Mo Xiao replied indifferently: ”Who?”

”Jiang Cheng,” the man in black paused. Mo Xiao suddenly stood up: ”What!” After thinking for a few seconds, he told the man in black: ”Take me to the surveillance room!”

The man in black bowed: ”Yes.” Mo Xiao followed him to the surveillance room, where the man in black offered a chair for Mo Xiao to sit. Mo Xiao’s good mood vanished, turning sour as he watched Jiang Cheng on the surveillance screen, grunting and pounding the desk: ”Jiang Cheng.”

Seeing Mo Xiao so angry, his subordinates immediately tried to flatter him: ”No need to be so upset, Jiang Cheng is just a minor enemy. You can eliminate him with a flick of a finger; he’s not worth such anger.”

”What do you understand!? That Jiang Cheng has messed up my plans time and again, how can I not be furious? I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood!” Mo Xiao’s sinister eyes stared at Jiang Cheng on the screen, seemingly wanting to pierce him.

Seeing the children unharmed, Jiang Cheng knew Mo Xiao’s people would soon arrive. Alone, he was no match for Mo Xiao and his men; he had to quickly go down the mountain to bring reinforcements.

At that moment, the system spoke: ”Mo Xiao already knows you’ve been there.” Jiang Cheng remained silent for a moment, then said leisurely: Even if he knows, I can’t stay here any longer. Since Mo Xiao is aware I’ve arrived, he’ll certainly come here soon, making our situation more dangerous.

Go back, discuss the rescue plan with everyone, search for locations, right now the priority is to quickly go down the mountain to inform everyone.” The system didn’t speak again, and Jiang Cheng ignored it, hurrying down the mountain.

Mo Xiao furiously smashed a glass, nearly hitting his subordinate who backed away, terrified.

Mo Xiao’s anger subsided a bit, but he still wasn’t in a good mood and ordered his men: ”Move those kids immediately, you useless bunch! Can’t even keep an eye on some kids! What are you doing standing around? Move!” The subordinates cautiously retreated.

”Quickly count numbers, move them!” The subordinate instructed others. An assistant carefully asked: ”Why suddenly move them, boss?” The subordinate, holding back anger, kicked the wall: ”Because of that Jiang Cheng, how dare he find where those little brats are kept! Why are you standing there? Waiting for my permission? Move quickly!”

Seeing his boss was angry, the assistant hurried out, muttering as he went: ”Got scolded again, and now he’s taking it out on me, why? Who do you think you are?”

He walked to the tied-up children, cleared his throat: ”Now it’s counting time. You better behave, or else...” the subordinate threatened.

The children all moved back in fear, seemingly terrified by his words. The assistant nodded satisfactorily and began counting the numbers.

The girl whom Jiang Cheng had tied up before saw Mo Xiao’s people starting to move the kids, her heart gradually filled with fear, as if a hand was constantly clutching at her heart. She dared not even take a deep breath.
