Although Shu Panâs company was located in the city, it was evening, and pedestrians hurriedly passed by, paying no attention to the unusual sight of Shu Pan being pulled into a car.
Shu Pan was now worried about her situation and also concerned that no one would pick up Joy from the kindergarten. She prayed that the teacher would call Gu Shaoting.
If the teacher called her, she wouldnât be able to answer as Gu Shaoting had left his number with the school.
At this moment, she inexplicably thought of Gu Shaoting, feeling a bit reassured.
The car continued forward. The side windows were covered with curtains, so Shu Pan couldnât see the outside. She could only observe from the front windshield that the car was heading towards the suburbs.
The population became scarcer, and the road turned into a path. After a few minutes of speeding along, the surroundings transformed into ponds, and there wasnât even a dilapidated house, let alone people.
Shu Pan, who had been trying to stay calm, became nervous again because she couldnât determine their current location. Were they going to silence her permanently?
As Shu Pan thought more, she became more frightened, and her whole body began to tremble.
After an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped in the yard of a house.
With a screeching brake sound, the passenger door opened. The burly man deftly jumped out and then opened the rear door. Scarface was the first to jump out.
Without any sympathy, he dragged Shu Pan out of the car, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to the entrance of the house.
Taking a look at her surroundings, Shu Pan felt completely chilled. The area was sparsely populated, with a few scattered houses at a considerable distance. Even if she screamed her lungs out, no one would hear.
Shu Pan didnât want to struggle in vain. As a powerless woman, how could she resist three strong young men?
If she resisted, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She could only watch and wait, prepared to make a desperate attempt.
The skinny guy who drove the car also got out. He walked over and forcefully knocked on the door.
Soon, an impatient voice came from inside, âComing.â
Then, the door opened. Shu Pan, holding her bag, was pushed from behind, stumbled, and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Shu Pan looked like a madwoman, disheveled hair, Imeeling on the cement floor.
Because the floor was uneven, Shu Pan felt a dull pain in her knees.
While sitting on the ground, Shu Panâs bag shook a bit. Usually, she set her phone to vibrate when at work, so she was accustomed to it.
Now, she thanked herself for this habit because if they heard the ringtone, her phone would likely be confiscated, and there would be no hope.
Pretending to be in pain, Shu Pan sat on the ground, facing away from them. She subtly reached into her bag, found her phone, and, relying on memory, pressed the answer key.
Then she suddenly spoke loudly, âWhat are you doing? Why did you bring me here?â
âStop making noise, woman. Be careful; I wonât be gentle with you.â The man who opened the door spoke fiercely.
âDonât be disrespectful. Cooperate well, and maybe weâll be gentle with you.â The man laughed, his voice tinged with threat.
Shu Pan felt very scared, but she still asked, âWhere is this?â
âThis is the suburbs. You wouldnât know even if I told you,â Scarface responded.
Then, he turned to the others and said, âDonât underestimate this place; itâs not easy to find. Really admiring Lord Long.â
âThatâs right. Havenât you seen? Lord Long is a prominent figure in the underworld. If we donât handle this well, weâll become a laughingstock.â The chubby guy snorted..
