Travel: Imperial Capital Arc (Thirteen): Kidnapping Phrolova and Bringing Her Home?
A few days later, at the Imperial Capital airport.
"Is this the Imperial Capital?" Funuo Nuo looked around and said, "There are so many people!"
Phrolova looked down at the airport terminal and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
So she still came to the Imperial Capital... Oh well, anyway, she's just here to see for herself if Dania is really as happy as she claims. As for Xiao? He's not needed.
"That's normal." She calmly observed the bustling crowd. "This is the political center of the Dragon Country, and it also boasts numerous scenic spots. During holidays, many people come here specifically to visit."
"What if I cause trouble here? Will he...?"
"No!" Funuo Nuo crossed her fingers, speaking righteously, "You promised you wouldn't harm the ordinary people here. The grievances should be settled by the perpetrators; innocent people shouldn't be implicated!"
"Just kidding, this kind of thing has lost its meaning for me now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Phrolova walked ahead to go through security, and when Funuo Nuo saw that she had already gone far away, she hurriedly followed behind and went through security together.
"By the way, did you take a taxi?"
Don't worry, a car will come to pick us up!
Phrolova and Funuo Nuo chatted idly along the way, and soon arrived at the airport entrance.
"Look, the car's here. I'll go check the license plate number." Upon seeing the car parked at the airport entrance, Funuo Nuo immediately went to check the license plate number.
"Yes, this is the one. Come on over, we need to get on!"
"They've arrived."
Phrolova walked gracefully to the ride-hailing car, and together with Funuo Nuo, they put the suitcases into the trunk and sat down in the back of the car.
The female driver who picked them up looked like a fashionable urban woman with long blue-purple hair, a well-proportioned bust, and wearing a figure-hugging dress and sunglasses.
"Just the two of you?" the female driver confirmed in a rather alluring voice.
"Yes," Funuo Nuo nodded in response.
The female driver in the front seat nodded slightly, then stepped on the gas and sped away from the airport.
The Imperial Capital boasts a unique landscape, featuring both modern skyscrapers and historically rich streets and alleys, making it a metropolis where the ancient and the modern blend seamlessly.
Funuo Nuo was already mesmerized by the bustling scene, her deep green eyes, tinged with crimson, reflecting the skyscrapers rushing past.
Phrolova, on the other hand, had absolutely no interest in enjoying the scenery. He rested his elbow on the car door handle, propped his head up with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
"Is this your first time in the Imperial Capital?" the female driver in the front seat asked, trying to start a conversation.
"This is my first time here," Funuo Nuo replied.
"Invited by a friend?"
"Not really, just a casual acquaintance."
The female driver was very talkative, and soon she was chatting and laughing with Funuo Nuo. She would occasionally mention the historical sites and must-see attractions in the Imperial Capital, making Funuo Nuo think that the driver was a really nice person.
But Phrolova, who was listening in, felt increasingly uneasy.
Generally speaking, it's understandable for a driver to want to chat with a passenger, but this driver's tone and actions felt very familiar, and the questions she asked were too sensitive. It didn't seem like a casual conversation, but rather like she was trying to extract information.
Moreover, she turned on the navigation as soon as she got in the car, and now the car is completely heading in the opposite direction from their destination.
"Our destination doesn't seem to be on this road," Phrolova said coldly. "Or perhaps you never intended to get us to our destination in the first place?"
"Principal Roccia?"
"Oops~ We've been found out?"
The driver took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of familiar purple eyes; it was indeed Roccia.
"So now I can conclude that you're trying to kidnap us?" Phrolova sneered, taking out his phone and pressing the emergency call button, preparing to take the principal to the police station for a chat.
"I'm just taking you to meet the acquaintance who invited you here. It doesn't count as kidnapping, does it?" Roccia said calmly.
"Are you going to call the police? Good idea. But I think you should check if your phone still has a signal."
Only after Roccia's reminder did Phrolova realize that his phone was currently without signal.
"What did you do?" Phrolova's eyebrows shot up.
"It was just a matter of our excellent professors pulling some strings."
Phrolova immediately sensed something was terribly wrong; there was more than just her in that car?!
"Come on, my lovely students, it's time to entertain our guests," Roccia, clapping her hands.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Phrolova was struck hard on the back of the head. Unable to dodge in time, she immediately lost consciousness. Even Funuo Nuo, who was standing next to her, was not spared.
"Done!" Aemeath clapped her hands twice as she poked her head out of the trunk.
"Is this really a good thing for us?" Sigrika felt a little uneasy, as this was the first time she had done something so immoral.
"Who knows?" Roccia shrugged. "Anyway, it was that little brat Xiao Ling who made us kidnap these two special guests and take them to his house. If they want to blame someone, they can blame him."
Let's go back to yesterday.
After dinner, Dania sat on the sofa with her phone in her hand, a smile she couldn't hide on her face.
"Yaya, what's making you so happy?" Xiao Ling asked curiously, seeing her smiling so brightly.
"Ah, because Sister Phrolova is coming," Dania nodded. "I was just thinking about when I could see her again."
Xiao Ling understood; it seemed that Funuo Nuo had indeed properly handed the note to Phrolova Benluo.
No, that doesn't seem to be the main problem.
How did you get Phrolova's contact information?
"That happened a while ago. I made a special trip when the concert was about to end, and it was quite a struggle to get it."
"I see..."
Xiao Ling's eyes darted around twice, and suddenly a good idea came to her.
Did she tell you when she'll be arriving in the Imperial Capital?
I just asked, and she said it will arrive tomorrow.
After receiving confirmation, Xiao Ling nodded twice and then went to find his beloved Principal Roccia.
"So, you mean you want me to pick them up?" Roccia, her tone rising slightly.
"Well, I actually have something I'd like to discuss with those two new guests," Xiao Ling said with a helpless smile, "But if I were to invite them, they'd most likely refuse outright."
"Got it, if all else fails, you'll have to tie him up, right?"
"Sister Luo, you know so much?"
"I just know you. For example, you sometimes do the opposite of what we do, and the more we beg you to let us go, the more you bully us," Roccia with a dark expression.
"There's no necessary connection between the two..." Xiao Ling said weakly, "Getting back to the point, what if they call the police if we really kidnap them?"
"Then just make sure they can't call the police."
"Is this even possible?"
"That's easy. Just have Professor Morning make a miniature signal jammer," Roccia snapped her fingers. "Then I'll bring two strong guys along, so if they realize something's wrong and try to jump out of the car, I can control them immediately."
"It feels like we're doing something like human trafficking..."
"Let's try diplomacy first, then force. I don't know where diplomacy is. Anyway, just stay home and wait. I guarantee I'll bring him back to you unharmed."
"Uh... alright, thanks for your trip. I'll give you a reward tonight."
"Is your reward legitimate?" Roccia: oO?
"Indecent."
Go to hell!
