When the notification sounded, Liao Ning felt a surge of panic. She had hoped that by deviating from the original plot, the villain’s evil value would decrease to a safe level, ensuring her own safety. However, she hadn’t anticipated that Liao Nails evil value would increase once again during her time in captivity. Would her mission ultimately fail?
Having been kidnapped for an extended period, Liao Ning had been unable to inform the two little villains at home about her current situation, despite her attempts to contact Zhou Ye.
The thought that Liao Nai’s evil value would continue to deteriorate due to his family’s absence left Liao Ning increasingly worried. She made up her mind that regardless of the circumstances, she had to reach out to Liao Nai first and prevent his further descent.
Nervously, she arrived at Li Xian’s office. Observing Liao Ning’s approach through the surveillance cameras, Li Xian deactivated the feed on the Al and motioned for Tina to open the door.
“Miss Liao, you’ve been a valuable asset to the rebel army,” Li Xian remarked with a smile, clearly in a jovial mood.
“We now have over a thousand mermaids who have joined our cause, all possessing formidable combat prowess. With their assistance, it won’t be a challenge to overthrow the empire.”
Observing his good spirits, Liao Ning spoke up, ‘May I make a small request?”
Li Xian’s brows furrowed slightly, then he lifted his chin, signaling for her to continue.
“My nephew is only five years old. I’ve been away from him for far too long. I would like to see how he’s doing,” Liao Ning’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke, her longing for Liao Nai evident.
Li Xian was aware of her nephew’s existence, but given the critical nature of their current situation, any potential risks to Liao Ning could jeopardize all her efforts.
However, upon seeing Liao Ning’s pleading expression, he found it difficult to refuse. Thus, he relented, saying, “You may use the Al to communicate with him for two minutes now, but I must be present.”
Liao Ning nodded with elation. It was the time when primary school ended, so Liao Nai should be home by now.
Li Xian enabled the internet connection for her. Liao Ning swiftly initiated contact with Liao Nai through the Al, but after five minutes passed, there was still no response. Panic began to consume her.
Seeing Liao Ning’s anxiety, Tina quickly offered some reassurance. “Don’t be anxious. Perhaps the children are just being playful or the school might have some extracurricular activities.”
Tina and the others had never received a conventional education since their youth, so they were unfamiliar with how elementary schools operated in the Interstellar Space Alliance.
However, Liao Ning understood that Liao Nai was no ordinary child. Given the increase in his evil value, something must have gone awry.
Just as Liao Ning was about to resume contacting Liao Nai, a message arrived from him.
“I have been kidnapped by Loya and taken to the empire. Auntie, don’t fall for their deception. ”
Liao Nai had used an encrypted communication method, preventing Li Xian from accessing the specific content. He could only see an emoji.
Nevertheless, Liao Ning swiftly analyzed the message with the Al. She fought to control her emotions and respond calmly while inquiring about Liao Nai’s well-being.
In the next moment, Liao Nai called.
“Auntie!” Liao Nails voice carried a tinge of excitement.
However, his hands were concealed behind his back, and his expression seemed somewhat forced.
Liao Ning sensed that something was amiss and did her best to maintain a composed demeanor. “Liao Nai, have you just finished school? Why didn’t you answer the phone earlier?”
As she spoke, she formed an emoji in code, sending a smiling face.
“Don’t be afraid. I will definitely rescue you.”
Upon seeing the smiley face, a smile appeared on Liao Nai’s face. “Auntie, I just finished school. It’s nothing. Don’t worry about me. Don’t worry about me.”
Hearing his words, Liao Ning felt tears welling up in her eyes. She understood that Liao Nai was imploring her not to jeopardize her safety by attempting to save him. In a moment like this, this young child was genuinely concerned about her well-being.
The room fell into a brief silence as Liao Ning and Liao Nai exchanged concerned glances, while Loya grew increasingly impatient. She motioned for the maid to speak.
The maid approached the camera and offered a slight bow. “Miss Liao, as per your instructions, I have been looking after Young Master Liao Nai. Rest assured, he is in good hands.”
With a purposeful gesture, the maid displayed Liao Nails school uniform and the distinctive attire worn by boys in the empire. It was a subtle reminder to Liao Ning that Liao Nai had indeed been taken to the empire.
Liao Ning took a deep breath and responded, “Very well, I appreciate your continued care for him. I will make every effort to return as soon as possible..”
