The heavy rain started at an unknown time, and the sound of raindrops tapping on the car window filled the air. The glass was covered with messy water stains, adding to the annoyance.
Xu Changyan opened his eyes to find endless darkness around him. After his eyes adjusted, he realized he was in the trunk of a car.
His mouth was taped shut, rendering him unable to speak, and his hands were tied behind his back, forming a strange posture as he lay on the ground.
This was an old van, and Xu Changyan lay in the trunk, only daring to make small, careful movements, not wanting the person in the front to discover that he was awake.
He used the strength of his shoulders to prop himself up from the ground. Faint light seeped through the gaps between the trunk and the car interior. He glanced forward through the sliver of light...
He wasn't the only person in the car!
There is still a person lying inside the carriage, not sure if they are dead or alive.
Xu Changyan was thinking rapidly in his mind, not knowing what time it was now, and it sounded like it was raining outside.
Here, Su Wenzhi followed Officer Hu and came in the direction of the villain.
The roads in the outskirts of the city were muddy. Officer Hu received a message that the villain had driven to the abandoned factory in the outskirts of the city.
The police are at One Cup Cafe here, asking the staff to call the last customer served by Xu Changyan today and arrange to meet nearby to rule out suspicion. The customer said someone paid him to order a meal, but he doesn't know the person. The criminal targeted Xu Changyan intentionally, and today was just the opportunity for him to strike.
When the car stopped, Xu Changyan closed his eyes.
"Get up!" The thug roughly pulled Xu Changyan out from under the car. "Stop playing dead!"
Xu Changyan's head hit the car, causing a bump. He opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
The thug was angered by his gaze, so he covered his head with a bag. Another person, a woman, was still unconscious. The thug carried the woman on his shoulder and started pushing Xu Changyan forward.
Xu Changyan feels the changes around him in the darkness, trying his best to see clearly the ground beneath his feet and walk steadily.
The rain is pouring heavily, and Su Wenzhi's heart fluctuates with the speed of the car, feeling restless. After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the abandoned factory.
The plainclothes officer did not understand the internal environment of the factory and did not dare to enter rashly. Officer Hu went to inquire about the situation wearing a raincoat.
Su Wenzhi stood behind some closely spaced stone slabs, wearing a raincoat.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sound of rain around also gradually diminished.
According to Officer Hu, the abandoned factory here used to be a chemical plant many years ago. After environmental improvement and relocation, the factory ceased operation, and it has now become the abandoned and dilapidated place it is today.
The police are having an emergency meeting to develop a rescue plan. Su Wenzhi watches them busy and doesn't dare to act rashly, afraid of causing more trouble.
Su Wenzhi rests in the car for a while, probably about ten minutes. He had a dream and woke up from it. Recalling the content of the dream, Su Wenzhi realizes that he is covered in cold sweat.
Xu Changyan felt like he was constantly turning, moving forward, and going downstairs...
With a "clang," Xu Changyan was pushed to the ground by the villain, hitting a plastic bucket and letting out a "hiss."
He didn't know his surroundings, his head covered by a bag, only able to see the dusty floor from underneath the bag.
The thug didn't uncover his head, roughly placing the woman he was carrying on the ground. Xu Changyan heard the woman groan in pain but still didn't wake up.
He heard the man making a crackling sound and didn't know what he was doing.
What is the purpose of kidnapping him? Is it to vent anger? Or just to kill?
Xu Changyan felt dizzy from thinking too much, because his mouth was taped shut and he couldn't speak. Just as he was getting tired and ready to close his eyes to rest, it seemed like a figure was standing in front of him.
With a "crack" sound, the bag over Xu Changyan's head was torn open...
Officer Hu glanced around and didn't see Su Wenzhi. He asked, "Where are the hostage's family members?"
The police officer beside him looked around and thought, among this group of people, where could Su Wenzhi be?
"Bad news!" Officer Hu muttered, "Find a good spot by yourselves according to the location we just scouted. Be smart and act on your own initiative. I'll go in first to take a look. Report any situation if necessary."
Xu Changyan opened his eyes and saw the man from the last time in that female customer's room.
He still wore a mask and a hat, and the fierce look in his eyes was terrifying. It seemed like he had no intention of letting Xu Changyan speak, as he gave Xu Changyan a fierce look and then walked outside.
Xu Changyan looked around and saw various large old plastic barrels surrounding the room, covered in dust and looking dirty and worn, as if no one had been there for a long time.
As soon as the man left, the woman on the ground opened her eyes. Xu Changyan saw tears welling up in her eyes as she trembled slightly, her eyes filled with despair.
She turned her head to say something to Xu Changyan, but then heard footsteps behind her.
"Hey, awake now," the man slowly walked in, taking off his hat. His hair under the hat was meticulously groomed, but his voice was cold and devoid of warmth, sending shivers down her spine.
"Sizzle"——The adhesive tape on Xu Changyan's face was torn off, and the fine fuzz on his face was pulled so painfully that tears almost came out.
The man looked at Xu Changyan with disdain, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust.
He stood there coldly, not taking off his mask, and looked down at the two people lying on the ground without any resistance.
Xu Changyan didn't speak. He didn't know what time it was now. I wonder if Su Wenzhi knows his current situation. If he does, he must be very worried about himself.
Next to him, a small sobbing sound came from the woman, torturing others and causing unbearable pain, seemingly bringing a little joy to the unpredictable man's mood.
Noticing Xu Changyan next to him, the man turned his head again, holding a knife with a fierce look on his face, and said to Xu Changyan, "Don't you want to say something?"
