Zhuang Nainai hurriedly turned on the phone’s hands-free mode when she heard the other party say over the phone, “This place is XXX.”
When Zhuang Nainai turned to look at Si Zhengting, he was already opening his maps as he said with a frown, “It’s near Hebei’s Baoding area.”
Zhuang Nainai said, “Which hotel is it? Where is it? We’ll rush over now!”
The other party told them the hotel’s name and explained the whole situation succinctly. As expected of a receptionist, the lady spoke very clearly. “… I already told Ms. Si not to follow him, but Ms. Si insisted on following him. It has already been 12 hours and she’s not back yet! I’m really scared that something bad might happen to her…”
Stunned, Zhuang Nainai asked subconsciously, “You are saying that Si Jingyu followed the other party with a clear and sober mind?”
“Yes.”
Zhuang Nainai looked up at Si Zhengting in confusion, only to see him narrow his eyes and remain silent.
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips. “Okay.”
After ending the call, Si Zhengting suddenly stood up. “Zhuang Nainai will support you from here. I will not go this time around. Take care.”
Seeing how obedient she was, he reached out and patted her head before saying in a slightly husky voice, “I’ll ask Ji Chen to get someone to send you home. During the time when I’m not in the office, you shouldn’t come here either.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
She’d rather not stay in the office with the dangerous Mi Nuo around.
She stood up and accompanied Si Zhengting downstairs. “I’m taking the bodyguard’s car back, so don’t worry.”
Si Zhengting nodded. When the two of them entered the elevator, Zhuang Nainai frowned. “Sister has been gone for so long. It will take you at least three hours to get there if you depart now. Will it be too late?”
Si Zhengting’s brows were knitted tightly. Suddenly, he thought of something. He picked up his phone and started searching for a number. He then dialed the number. “Hello…”
—
In a dilapidated residential building in the borders of Hebei.
With tightly clenched fists, Si Jingyu stared intently at the handful of people in front of her.
Her thin and fragile body swayed unstably in the wind. Her clothes had become so dirty that it had lost its original colors. Staring at the gangsters in front of her, she narrowed her eyes.
Ever since she discovered that she had been scammed, she had given them money. However, this bunch of people still refused to let her go, especially the man named Brother Qiang, who had duped her into coming here.
At the moment, he was panting heavily from running as he supported his hands on his knees. “F*ck! You little lady run really fast! But did you think that you can outrun us grown men? I suggest you just be obedient. Sleep with us for a few nights and satisfy us, then we’ll let you off. How does that sound?”
Si Jingyu took a deep breath. She had been running from them for the entire night, so she was extremely worn out right now. She even found it difficult to speak. “I’ve already given you guys money. I can give you whatever amount you want, as long as you let me go.”
“Pooh!” Brother Qiang had spat out his saliva. “Do you think we are dumb? Once we let you go, you are going to go straight to the police station. Who are we supposed to look for then? We don’t ever want any verbal promises. Hehe. The tangible benefits right now is the most important.”
After saying this, he pouted. “Tsk tsk. Looking at your soft skin and tender flesh, I see you are obviously from a large city. You are different from us. I wonder if it’s especially satisfying to sleep with you. Just feed our egos for a while and we’ll let you live. How about that?”
