545 Heartbeat (4)

Xie Changwu forced a smile and said, “The guards of the Shen family are all skilled in martial arts. How can we possibly sell Fifth Miss Shen to… that place?”

“That’s your problem.” Princess Ming An returned to her high and mighty self. “How you kidnap Shen Miao will depend on your ability. Otherwise, what’s the use of having you?”

Seeing that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were still hesitating, Princess Ming An softened her tone and said patiently, “However, after this matter is done, I will put in a good word for you in front of Prince Ding. At least Prince Ding will find a good job for the two of you. Are you going to reject such a good deal?”

Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao looked at each other and saw conflict in each other’s eyes.

Riches came from danger. People like them, who had been on the official path but did not make much progress, yearned for nothing more than to become successful one day. Princess Ming An had provided the two of them with a shortcut. It seemed that in just a short period of time, they could get closer to what they dreamed of.

However, kidnapping Shen Miao was indeed not an easy task. The Shen family was a military family to begin with, and those guards were all extraordinary. Any one of the guards around Shen Miao was probably very skilled in martial arts. Moreover, once Shen Miao went missing, Shen Xin would definitely lock down the capital and impose martial law. At that time, it would still take a lot of effort to transport Shen Miao to the brothel.

If they succeeded, they would be rich and powerful. If they failed, everything they had, including their lives, would be gone. The two of them could not make up their mind.

Seeing this, Princess Ming An sneered. “Since the two of you are hesitating, pretend that I didn’t say anything today. You only have one chance, and I won’t give you a second chance. You can leave. You’re not the only bold people in Ming Qi. I think there will definitely be people who are willing to bet on this.”

“I’m willing!” Without waiting for Princess Ming An to instruct the servants, Xie Changchao was the first to shout. He pulled Xie Changwu. Seeing that Xie Changchao had already said it, Xie Changwu had no choice but to bow and say, “I’m willing to go through hell for Your Highness!”

Princess Ming An smiled and said, “Get up. If you work hard and get your job done, I won’t treat you badly. I’ll wait for your good news here.”

After coming out of Princess Ming An’s mansion and returning to the Marquis’s Residence, the Xie brothers closed the door and discussed this matter in private. Xie Changwu complained, “Third Brother, you’re too impatient. This matter is extremely risky. If we’re not careful, we’ll be doomed.”

Xie Changchao disagreed with him and said, “Second Brother, the princess also said that if we don’t take the job, she’ll find someone else to do it. What we lack now is not ability, but opportunity. If we succeed, we’ll naturally be able to rise. Isn’t this what you and I both want?”

“But Shen Miao is not the daughter of an ordinary family.” Xie Changwu sighed. “Even if we can kidnap Shen Miao, what will happen after that? Shen Xin will search the entire city. It’s not safe for us to hide her anywhere.”

Xie Changchao smiled and pointed at the room.

Xie Changwu looked at him. “You mean…”

“No matter how hard Shen Xin searches the entire city, he won’t have a reason to search the residence of large families. No one will suspect that the two of us kidnapped Shen Miao. We have no grudge against Shen Miao. Why would we kidnap her?” Xie Changchao smiled. “The plan is flawless!”
