Translator’s Notes: After a discussion, we decided to revert to the original country name to stay true to the author's storytelling. Thank you for understanding.
At the moment Wei Ruo saw the three of them, the two men and Wei Yilin also saw Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo quickly regained her composure and turned her eyes away indifferently, pretending not to recognize Wei Yilin.
She pretended to be just a passerby, not recognizing Wei Yilin or the two people next to him as kidnappers, and walked aside as if nothing had happened.
The two men looked at Wei Ruo warily. Seeing that Wei Ruo looked indifferent and didn't recognize them, they gradually relaxed.
As long as they were not discovered, they would adhere to the principle that doing less is better and will not attack random passersby.
Wei Ruo moved naturally, turned around, and started walking back.
At the same time, Wei Ruo silently recited in her heart. Little brat, don't make a sound, don't shout at me, pretend as if you didn't see me! Don’t say anything, I'll return and find someone to save you! If you make a sound, we are all done!
Wei Yilin saw Wei Ruo clearly had seen him, but turned around and walked away. Wei Yilin, who had never sincerely called Wei Ruo "Eldest Sister," shouted loudly, "Eldest Sister!"
Wei Ruo's body stiffened and she felt a chill all over.
She cursed Wei Yilin as a despicable bastard, while running at lightning speed.
But before she could take two steps, she was caught by one of the men.
"No need to force me, I surrender, I'll go on my own!" Wei Ruo was afraid that the kidnapers would use violence on her, so she quickly begged for mercy.
This place was desolate and open, and the probability of someone coming out to save her immediately after she cried for help is very small. If no one could come to save her in time, her uncooperative behavior would result in violence from the other party, and she might even die on the spot.
Wei Ruo wanted to survive and suffered less physical pain, so she cooperated very well and surrendered.
Wei Ruo was taken by the men to Wei Yilin's side, and they tied up both of them together.
Then the two men communicated in a language that Wei Yilin couldn't understand.
Wei Ruo roughly knew that these two men were speaking Japanese language. In fact, the first time she saw these two men, Wei Ruo guessed the identity of these two men as Japanese pirates.
Although the two used headscarves to cover their unique hairstyles of Japanese pirates, their physique and appearance differed greatly from those yellow skinned commoners who were working at the land in the south of the city.
After a brief discussion, the two Japanese pirates led Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin up the mountain.
The two Japanese pirates found a cave, only one or two meters deep and over one meter high, which was barely enough to accommodate two adults.
Then they threw Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin in like objects.
After being locked in the cave, Wei Ruo looked across at Wei Yilin and smiled: "This is awesome, let's die together.”
"Who made you so cold-blooded and ruthless? When you saw me, you turned around and wanted to leave." Wei Yilin didn't feel he had done anything wrong, and even felt a little happy to get some company.
Hearing this, Wei Ruo laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Wei Yilin said in dissatisfaction, why was she still in the mood to laugh at this time?
“I thought you were just a little ignorant, but now I realize you are so dumb.”
“Who are you calling dumb?”
"Aren't you dumb? In that situation, how can I save you alone under the hands of two skilled Japanese pirates? Am I a God? I pretend not to know you, so when the two of them see that I'm indifferent, they will think that I don't know they're kidnappers and will let me go.
After I leave, I can return and call for reinforcements to save you. Do you think I have a better chance in rescuing you, compared to calling for the Wei family's guards and officials to rescue you?"

This is what happens when you don't raise children with sense. I don't blame him for yelling out to her, because he was a kid and in a scary situation. I do however, doubt that he was abducted from home. So that means he snuck out, let those people know he was someone important, and got kidnapped.
