Wang Zimeng looked at her brother and couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

Although they were biological siblings, as an elder brother, Wang Zichen had never taken his sister, Wang Zimeng, seriously.

He had always gotten good things first. He would only give them to his sister when he was tired of playing with them, let alone take the initiative to spend money on Wang Zimeng.

Therefore, when Wang Zimeng heard that it was his treat, she was in a daze for a moment, as if she had heard wrongly.

“Where are we going?” Wang Zimeng came back to her senses and asked subconsciously.

Wang Zichen thought for a moment and whispered excitedly, “Have you been to a bar?”

Wang Zimeng shook her head. “I’ve never been there. Aren’t children not allowed to enter that place?”

“It’s just that you have to put on an act. As long as you have money, you can enter anywhere.” Wang Zichen looked at Wang Zimeng and smiled. “I’ll take you to see the world tonight.”

Wang Zimeng didn’t want to go to a bar, but she yearned to be closer to her brother. He had unprecedentedly suggested bringing her out to play. Wang Zimeng wanted to cherish this opportunity.

Therefore, after struggling for a moment, she nodded and agreed. “Alright, but we can’t let Mom know. She’ll be angry.”

“Don’t worry,” Wang Zichen said with a confident smile. He was already good at dealing with parents.

…

Irene and the rest had been trapped in the room in Xiao Zhen’s villa for a few days. Andrew, who was the most injured, was already awake, but he could not move yet.

After Xiao Zhen’s treatment, Gale and the rest recovered well. At least they could walk around the room freely.

They tried to escape, but Yu Wuyuan had set up a sword array around the room. The spiritual energy contained in the sword array repelled the sword aura that sealed their meridians. As soon as they closed the distance, they would bounce back.

After trying a few times and failing, they could only give up.

Although everyone was an ability user, they did not understand the true meaning and strength of China’s ancient mental cultivation techniques. It seemed that both sides had abilities that exceeded ordinary people, but they were fundamentally different.

“How long are we going to be trapped here for? Are we going to sit here and wait for death?” Louise asked dejectedly.

Over the past few days, although the other party did not make things difficult for them, let alone torture them, they still felt tormented. They felt that their lives were not guaranteed, and they might be killed at any time.

“We can’t get out at all, can we?” Eugene leaned back on the bed and looked at Louise expressionlessly. “Can you think of a way?”

Louise was speechless. If she had a way, she wouldn’t be sitting here now.

She couldn’t help but look at the immobile Andrew. “Andrew, say something!”

“He’s so injured that he can’t even move. What else do you want him to say?” The taciturn Robert looked up and glared at Louise. He said in a low voice, “No one wants to be trapped here, but no one can do anything!”

“Save your energy,” Irene said slowly.

When Irene spoke, Louise instantly shut her mouth.

At this moment, the restraints on Irene were released, but she was still sitting with her knees bent on a piece of fur in the corner of the window.

Irene’s clear voice was heard. “From the day we became mercenaries, everyone should be prepared to die at any moment. The opponent this time is not someone we can fight against, so our lives and deaths are up to them. It’s useless for you to argue.”

Perhaps Irene, the strongest among them, should not have said such negative words.

However, only Irene had truly experienced the strength of Chi Lian and Yu Wuyuan, so she could say these words so calmly.

“Irene, aren’t you the strongest?!” Irene’s words agitated Louise, and she looked at her excitedly.

However, Irene only looked up at Louise indifferently. Her snow-white eyelashes were cold. “I never said that I was the strongest.”

“They didn’t kill us. Perhaps they wanted to get the information they wanted from us.” At this moment, Andrew, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said in a dry voice, “As long as we say nothing, we can live for a few more days.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Only Gale couldn’t help but shrink.

He was not sure. He knew nothing.

However, he subconsciously felt that he had lost a piece of memory. He couldn’t remember if he had said something he shouldn’t have said. He just felt inexplicably flustered.

At this moment, Chi Yang suddenly pushed a dining cart in and greeted everyone like a waiter in a high-class hotel. “It’s time to eat!”

He had a smile on his face and a gentle tone. Those who did not know would think that he was entertaining guests.

In fact, it was similar.

Because Chi Yang had made their meals personally these few days.

He opened the copper thermal cover on the dining table, and an alluring fragrance floated out. Chi Yang knocked on the ice bucket beside the dining cart and reminded them, “There’s still red wine here. Help yourselves.”

Other than Irene and the immobile Andrew, the others looked at Chi Yang as if they had seen a ghost because they could not figure out what the other party was up to.

They were served good food and drinks every day. If not because their movements were restricted, they would have thought that they were on a holiday.

What angered them the most was that they had no backbone at all. They ate every meal because… it was too delicious!

“What’s going on inside?”

Seeing Chi Yang come out, Yun Buyao looked at him and asked.

Chi Yang stopped smiling and said, “They look emotional, as if they just finished arguing. However, they’re trapped in the same space all day. No matter how strong their willpower is, they’ll be affected after a while.”

Yun Buyao snorted when she heard that. “That’s not all. According to the Sect Master, we will consider getting rid of them only after we find the leader of the mercenary group. Let them adapt first.”

As they were talking, Jian Ai walked down from the second floor. “Chi Yang, I’m hungry!”

“Sect Master, the food is ready,” Chi Yang quickly said.

At the dining table, Jian Ai ate something before looking at the others. “I plan to return to the city later and go to Italy the day after tomorrow. I can’t just leave. Si Yue will stay with Xiao Zhen to recuperate.”

This time, Jian Ai was bringing only Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao to Italy to investigate Bai Zhou’s matter.

Since Si Yue was injured, Xiao Zhen had to stay behind to take care of him. Bai Zhou was the other party’s target, so he naturally could not follow. Chi Yang naturally had to stay behind as well.

To be safe, they had to leave Chi Lian behind to protect them. Because Si Yue was injured, if Chi Lian was not around, Xiao Zhen would be the only one left.
