Chapter 44 - Factory Trouble 1 (2/2)

Sara couldn't win over him and just told him to turn left and drive inside. Soon, they got to the factory.

The factory was quite dark. But they could see a ray of light sipping through from somewhere far behind. A little building nearby was also brightly lit. Sara had been here before so she knew that was the block Mr Chu slept. Sara walked carefully, with Muchen trailing behind her and knocked on the door. But no one answered. If Mr Li was around the factory, they would have seen at least a torchlight when heading here. But there was nothing. She just hoped that he wasn't drinking somewhere.

”I think Mr Chu should be behind the factory.” She said, pointing at the area where rays of yellow light could be seen.

Muchen just nodded. He hadn't bothered to ask her about anything. He just wanted to lead her back home safely.

They suddenly heard someone scream. Muchen unconsciously held Sara's hand and pulled her closer to him.

”I don't think it is safe here. We should call the police” He said.

Then they heard a loud groan. ”That sounds like Mr Chu”

Before he could ask anything, she already pulled her hand out of his and dashed towards the direction the sound was coming from.

Muchen totally forgot he was about calling the police and ran after her.

What is wrong with this girl?

Sara halted as soon as she got to the scene.

It was behind the factory. The headlights of several motorbikes and a dilapidated car was left on which brightened the place.

An elderly man and a younger man where both lying on the floor with a bloodied body. They were both surrounded by about 5 men who were all dressed in black with wooden clubs in their hands.

”Who are you?” One of the men, sitting on a bench, who appeared to be the leader asked.

Mr Chu raised his head to look at the person. And as soon as he saw Sara, he panicked. Why did she have to come here now?

When Sara saw Mr Chu's bloodied face, she widened her eyes in shock. She grew up to see him as an uncle. He was a few years older than Jianjun Wang but he always treated him like a brother and treated her like his daughter. She looked at the younger man and realised he was Mr Chu's teenage son, Chu Bilike, who always gambled about.

He must have gotten into trouble and dragged his father into it somehow.

”Cute banana, hurry, leave this place” Mr Chu warned.

”Sis, please save us.” Bilike pleaded as he sobbed.

”Shut up you scoundrel” Mr Chu would have slapped him if he was not so weak.

Sara did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He was almost dying and still had the energy to call her cute banana?
