Lin Nianhe looked at her acquaintance, unable to utter a word, could only look at him with tearful eyes.
Uncle Niu glanced at her, seemed wanting to say something, didn't say it, and then glanced again...

The old man coughed twice and said to the person holding Lin Nianhe: "It's just a little girl, how much harm can she do? That's enough."
Perhaps Lin Nianhe's excessive compliance had relaxed the leading kidnapper a bit. He glanced at Lin Nianhe, remained silent for a moment, then jerked his chin upwards at her: "Get on the vehicle yourself."

The strong man hesitated: "But this is outside, what if she starts screaming?"
