Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: On the Day of Departure, Those in the Red Crate Must Die

Lin Zhiyi heard the child comforting herself and couldn’t help but smile.

"Alright, we will definitely get out."

After speaking, she glanced at Chu Yin.

Chu Yin tilted her head, signaling her to speak on the side.

Lin Zhiyi settled the child and walked to the side with Chu Yin.

Chu Yin whispered, "Zhiyi, I heard from Fang Sisi before that children are always settled separately, why are we put together with the children? Moreover, these two children are either rich or noble, I always feel that something is not right."

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, falling into contemplation.

Everything seemed to be happening earlier than expected.

Her dreams were becoming bizarre, completely without order.

Besides, in her previous life, she had never been on a cruise, nor heard of a cruise.

What if they couldn’t be saved...

Lin Zhiyi dared not think about it.

She turned her back, not daring to let the children see the expression on her face.

Since they’re already on the ship, there’s no point in thinking further.

"Chu Yin, Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao’s engagement party is being held on the ship two days later. With so many people and so much chatter, it’s our chance. Let’s first get a clear understanding of the situation around us."

"Hmm."

Chu Yin nodded.

After an unknown period, the lights overhead suddenly dimmed.

Other people’s screams came from outside, it seemed all the lights were out.

Chu Yin remained motionless, clenching her teeth in anger.

"Again."

"What’s going on?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

"Fixed routines act as a form of intimidation, telling those held captive that everything is under their control."

Chu Yin, having been locked up once, was no longer panicking as before.

But the brother and sister were trembling on the small bed.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhiyi gestured with her hand.

"Come, we’ll lean together, that way it won’t be cold."

She did not expose the children’s fear, instead blaming it on the cold weather.

Chu Yin seconded, "I’m injured too and cold, if only there was a small heater."

After hearing this, Xiao Xi stared at the two, then pulled his sister over to them.

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin opened their down jackets and wrapped the two children on either side.

Xiao Yi lifted her head and smiled, "It’s really not cold anymore."

Xiao Xi was a bit embarrassed, "You don’t have to hold me so tight, men and women shouldn’t be too intimate."

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Now, since we’re sharing hardships, why don’t we think of a solution together?" Lin Zhiyi appropriately shifted the topic.

As Chu Yin said, the presence of these two children must have a special reason.

Especially since they were locked up together with them.

Xiao Xi was somewhat surprised, evidently not expecting Lin Zhiyi to discuss with them.

The little boy suddenly felt the weight of responsibility, his expression becoming serious.

"Actually, when they brought us in, I was already awake, but my sister was still in their hands, so I didn’t dare to move."

As a mother, Lin Zhiyi immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

"You did the right thing, safety comes first. Did you observe the surroundings secretly?"

Being a child, praised, Xiao Xi relaxed a lot and recalled many things.

"We were on a ship, but we didn’t walk on, we were transported in a big box.

When the door was closed, I noticed that this is a large port, surrounded by many such big boxes, classified into three colors: red, purple, and yellow. We were in the only red box."

"There should be many such boxes around now, those people said they would set sail in two days, unloading at the port according to the color of the boxes."

Chu Yin frowned, "They must have classified according to each person’s value, but why are there only four of us in the red one?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head, she couldn’t understand either.

At this moment, Xiao Yi, nestled in Lin Zhiyi’s arms, raised her head.

"Auntie, when the big box was lifted, I heard someone outside talking on the phone, he said, ’Fourth Master, the people have been captured.’

"Fang Sisi was an exception, in this situation, if we don’t help each other, no one can escape here."

Lin Zhiyi looked at Chu Yin with great determination.

Chu Yin smiled, placing the children on the small bed, covering them with her coat.

Then she got up to look around.

"Xiao Xi said there are such big boxes around, indicating we are close by. There’s no need to knock loudly, besides, I noticed the responses to our knocks followed a regular pattern, like a distress signal."

"Do you understand distress signals?" Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise.

"I acted as a female agent in a drama before, although it was for two episodes, I specially studied such signals."

"Chu Yin, you’re amazing."

"Isn’t it nice to meet a kindred spirit, the one across should be formidable too, we can help each other."

After speaking, Chu Yin found a place near the responding sounds, gently tapping the wall.

Initially, there was no response, but on the second attempt, the other side responded.

"There are ten people there, in good condition, but she doesn’t know how many people there are in other places."

Lin Zhiyi said, "Tell them not to make noise, conserve energy in the next two days, and use the engagement party to escape."

After Chu Yin responded, a message quickly came back.

Chu Yin deciphered it, frowning deeply.

Lin Zhiyi quietly asked, "What is it? Did something happen?"

Chu Yin, somewhat flustered, said, "She said her friend is in the room next door, currently very ill, can’t last long, hoping we save her friend first."

Lin Zhiyi was stunned.

Really, what you fear comes true, falling ill at this time is indeed fatal.

These human traffickers don’t care if you’re sick or not.

Even if dead, they can sell at a different price.

While thinking, sounds came from the opposite side again.

Chu Yin listened and translated simultaneously.

"She asked what color room we’re in, if it’s... red, be very careful, those who captured them said the day of sailing... people in the red box... are doomed."
