Chapter 150 They thought Yun Juan was in danger
After returning to the Yun family, Yun Juan did not mention a word about what had happened that morning, as if the events of the previous night had never occurred.
She knew perfectly well that Bai Yulan would handle the follow-up matters properly.
After all, given her status as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, it is really not advisable for her to show her face too much in public, lest she cause trouble and expose her identity.
Although Bai Yulan did not accompany her personally, Yun Juan knew that she must have sent people to protect her secretly, just in case.
Yun Juan did not object to this, but chose to silently accept the arrangement.
Because she understands that at this moment, more protection means less danger.
As expected, just as Yun Juan had predicted, the white magnolia was already waiting there.
Xiao Shi and Tang Luo, who had successfully escaped danger, changed their expressions drastically upon hearing a loud roar.
Xiao Shi, in particular, panicked the moment he heard the roar, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"No! I must go back to save my sister!" Xiao Shi broke free from everyone's grasp and turned to rush back.
However, Tang Luo, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and stopped him.
"Calm down! Xiao Shi, the area below has already collapsed. If we rush back, it will only make things worse!" Tang Luo grabbed Xiao Shi tightly and shouted.
But Xiao Shi couldn't hear any of that at the moment; his mind was filled with worry and fear that Yun Juan might encounter some misfortune.
He struggled desperately to break free from Tang Luo's grasp, crying out at the top of his lungs, "Sister... Sister hasn't come out yet! How can you be so heartless as to abandon her! I beg you, please go and save my sister..."
However, no matter how much Xiao Shi pleaded, Tang Luo gritted her teeth and held on tightly, refusing to let go.
After all, compared to Xiao Shi, who is emotional and impulsive, Tang Luo, who comes from a prestigious family, is obviously more calm and composed.
She knew that blindly turning back at this moment would not only fail to rescue Yun Juan, but could even put everyone in dire straits.
Tang Luo stood still, her face as calm as still water, composed as if she were a seasoned adult, showing no trace of the naivety or panic of a child.
Nearby, several other children stood with terrified expressions, their bodies trembling.
They had just survived a harrowing brush with death, and their minds were already consumed by fear.
Seeing the scene before them, they were all stunned and completely at a loss.
Just then, a clear and authoritative voice broke the silence: "What are you all standing there for? Come and help!"
The speaker was Tang Luo. Although her voice was not loud, the power within it was undeniable, and it sounded very strong.
The children snapped out of their daze and quickly stepped forward to follow Tang Luo's instructions.
Tang Luo calmly instructed everyone to work together to temporarily tie Xiao Shi up.
"Calm down first. Since your sister saved us, it means she must have a way to escape safely, so don't worry too much!" Tang Luo comforted her softly.
However, only she knew that these words were not only meant for Xiao Shi, but also a cover-up for her own deep-seated fears.
When she heard that deafening roar, her heart sank, a sense of foreboding washed over her, and her eyes instantly turned red.
But at this moment, she had to pretend to be calm and become the support and pillar of strength for others.
"My sister will be alright, right? She's so amazing, she saved everyone, how could something have happened to her?" Tang Luo silently asked herself over and over again. Every time she repeated this question, her heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
However, no matter how much she prayed and tried to comfort herself, the surroundings remained deathly silent, and no one could give her a definite answer.
At this moment, all that could be heard was Xiao Shi's hysterical crying, as if he wanted to vent all his fear, sadness and despair through his tears.
Meanwhile, the group of terrified children were also in tears, sniffling and their small bodies trembling slightly.
Just as everyone was immersed in the tense atmosphere, a light footstep sound came from afar.
Tang Luo's nerves tensed instantly. She turned her head sharply and looked warily toward the source of the sound.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly gestured for the other children to be quiet and said in a low voice, "Shh, be quiet, someone's coming!"
Seeing this, the children covered their mouths tightly with their little hands, trying their best not to make a sound of sobbing, for fear of being discovered by the person who came.
"Xiao Shi... Xiao Shi... Where are you?" The voice calling out grew clearer and clearer, sounding full of anxiety and concern.
"Little Ten..."
"Little Ten..."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xiao Shi felt a surge of hope.
He immediately recognized that it was Brother Zhu's shouts; he must be coming to rescue them!
However, Tang Luo dared not let her guard down. After all, they had just experienced a thrilling escape, and no one knew whether the person appearing now was an enemy.
"Waaaaah...waaaah...waaaah..." Xiao Shi twisted his body in pain, trying to break free of his restraints, but all his efforts were in vain.
Just now, Tang Luo was worried that Xiao Shi would lose control of her emotions and shout loudly, thus revealing their whereabouts, so she decisively had someone tightly gag Xiao Shi with a strip of cloth.
At this moment, poor Xiao Shi could only squeeze out sobs from deep in his throat, sounds both pitiful and helpless.
"Do you... have something to say?" Tang Luo cautiously pointed to Xiao Shi's mouth and asked softly in a low voice.
Xiao Shi nodded frantically, as if grasping at a straw, his eyes filled with urgency and longing.
Seeing this, Tang Luo hesitated slightly, then stared sharply into Xiao Shi's eyes and sternly instructed, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll remove the thing from your mouth. But you have to promise me that once it's removed, you absolutely cannot make a loud noise, or you'll bear the consequences! Do you understand?"
Xiao Shi nodded eagerly in agreement.
Actually, the reason why Xiao Shi was so anxious was because just now, he clearly heard Brother Zhu calling his name.
Without a doubt, Brother Zhu must have realized he was missing and is frantically searching for him.
However, right now, he was bound hand and foot and gagged by this seemingly weak little girl, and was completely unable to respond to Brother Zhu's call.
Thinking about this, Xiao Shi became increasingly anxious, fearing that Zhu Zi and the others might do something terrible because of this.
