They finally decided to only tie his wrists and have three men watch over him during the night, taking turns every three hours.
However, Lu Xiao also proposed a condition.
He said, "I hope to be supervised next to our campsite, as my wife will be afraid if she's alone at night without me."
This condition seemed reasonable and was hard to decline.
Tying up the husband of Ms. Wen, the ambassador for wildlife protection in East Asia, must have been a shock to her.
So, led by David's nod, everyone watching over him agreed.
But in fact—
For Lu Xiao, whether she was afraid at night was a secondary concern, his worry was that if they were attacked at night and he was too far away, he wouldn't be able to protect her right away.
Her life was his first priority.
So.
When night came, Lu Xiao's hands were tied behind his back by a campfire, with several men surrounding him on all sides.
David was among them. He had no choice, as the person in overall charge, he had to do this.
