Chapter 147 - Siying's Little Savior
On Siying's side, he obediently followed the two men who promised to give him his favorite Scooby doo plushie for free.
"Scooby-doo…" his eyes were shining in excitement
The man on the left smiled. "Yes, Scooby doo. We will give you lots of it."
The man on the right nodded. They shared a glance. Everything was going fine until now. Just a little more until their car, and they would disappear with Siying.
"Oye. Stop," a cold voice came from behind them.
They froze. They paused in their steps. Sweat broke out on their forehead.
Damn, did somebody catch us? That voice is so alarming!
They slowly turned, but to their shock, they didn't see anybody in front of them. They blinked their eyes in confusion.
Huh? There is nobody here.
"Are you blind? See down, idiots," the icy voice came again.
They lowered their gaze and were stunned. Once again, they exchanged glances but this time with shock written on their faces.
In front of them stood a little boy who was grimly staring at them. They guessed he was maybe four or five years old. His face was impassive and his eyes, emotionless. He had spectacles. He wore good and branded clothes just like Siying did. There was a small bag that hung on his shoulders and to his back. The men couldn't believe that that cold voice belonged to that little boy. They thought it was definitely an adult. They silently sighed in relief to know that it was just a child. For a moment, they thought they were busted.
The little boy raised his brow and sneered. "You just felt relieved to realize that I am just a child,?right?"
They stiffened.
"Heh. You thought that I am just a little boy, so you don't need to be afraid of me."
The man on the left said, "Haha. What are you saying, kid? Why will we be afraid of you?"
"Because you are kidnapping that kid who is holding your hand. Duh."
They froze and gulped.
How does he know? Impossible! He is just bluffing!
"What? Kidnapping? Haha, I think you are misunderstanding, kid."
The man on the right said, "Yeah."
The little boy folded his arm and tapped his feet. "Hoo...If it's not a misunderstanding, then what is it?"
"We just want to give him his favorite toy."
He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. "And who are you two to him that your heart is so bursting with desire to give him the toy?"
Their mouths twitched.
"Are you two related to him? Who are you? His uncles? His relatives? Is anyone of you his father? Doesn't look like so because you two are ugly and he isn't."
Their faces darkened. "Kid, this is how you talk to adults?"
"No. This is how I talk to kidnappers."
"We are not kidnappers!"
The little boy pushed his spectacles up and stared at Siying who was also curiously looking at him.
"You can ask this boy! Are we taking him by force? He is coming with us by his own accord. Right kid?" They expectantly looked at him.
Siying nodded. "Scooby-doo!"
They smirked. "See?"
The little boy said, "There is no point in asking for his confirmation. His brain is not that developed to differentiate between a good and a bad man. Of course, he will come with you. Also, don't you think it's too outdated to lure a kid by attracting them with toys and ice cream?" He snorted.
They looked at him, speechless.
Just who is this boy? How can he talk like an adult so much? There is no way a kid can figure us out!
"Enough. We already said we are not kidnapping him."
He sneered. "There is nothing for free in this world," he looked at Siying and asked, "Are they your uncles?"
Siying scrunched up his brow and said, "No uncles."
The boy chuckled. "See? You are not his relatives. That means you are strangers. Why would strangers suddenly feel so pitiful for a child and give him toys? Nobody is that kind in this world. Should I tell you what happened? You must have seen him in front of a toy store and saw him staring at that Scooby doo toy. And of course, it is fair to assume that a little boy like him won't have any money on him. I don't have either.
So you approached him, offering to give him his favorite toy. He would happily agree and come with you and he did. In the pretext of giving him the toy, you would take him to your car instead, which I am assuming is that blue van ahead that I can see at a distance. You would dump him inside and then take him to your base. Ransom? Sell him? Child labor? You can do anything with him."
The two men stood frozen. Their hearts raced in panic and fear. They trembled as they stared at this boy, aghast.
Impossible...he cannot know all this. He is a freaking child! He doesn't even look like he is five! How can he-
"How can I so accurately guess your plan like that is what you are wondering, right?" He smiled.
They stiffened.
"Don't underestimate me just because I am small. Don't take me lightly just because I am only four. As for how I guessed your plan, there is always an advantage of being 'that' man's son who rules the Underworld. My brothers and I can recognize deceptive people like you in a flash. My father has trained us that way."
Rules the Underworld? What nonsense is he spouting?
But they understood that they couldn't stay here for long. This kid was dangerous, and before he caused a ruckus, they had to flee with Siying.
The man on the left smiled. "I think you have watched too many movies, kid."
The one on the right was discreetly taking out his knife to kill that little boy.
The little boy smiled. "You are taking out your knife to kill me, right?" Even in front of the threat, he stood calm and composed.
He froze and gritted his teeth. "You give us no choice!"
His partner yelled. "Do it!"
