Gu Mengmeng understood Elvis' line of thought. "Is Cole intending for Burke to kidnap me?"
Lea didn't appear to mind and looked up at Gu Mengmeng. "I don't think so, Burke and you… it's just like those playthings which Cole brought back for me from outside the tribe. Just an expression of goodwill."
Elvis gazed afar. "Or it might be a reenactment."
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for half a second before sitting up. "You are saying… they want to kidnap Kanwu and the rest to hold them over me?!"
Lea patted Gu Mengmeng's shoulder soothingly. "If that's the case, Burke would not be hanging around so closely to Kanwu and the rest. Cole is obviously using Burke as a bait. As long as we keep up this vigilance against him, what chance does he have?"
Gu Mengmeng was still worried. Her children had been far too close to Burke in recent days. If Burke wished to take them away, his chances of success were very high.
