Chapter 230 - Kidnapping I (1/2)

It was dark. There was not a single crack of light in the darkness. It's been hours of endless darkness.

Jiang Ruolan's eyes were wide open, but all she could see was pitch-black. From the intense struggle when she had just woken up a few hours ago to the moment she lost all her strength, all she could do was lie there motionless.

Jiang Ruolan could feel that she was lying on a rather wide bench, her hands behind her back, tied tightly with ropes. Her legs, too, were tied to the end of the bench, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move at all. There was something sealed on her lips. Just like that, she was locked up in this dark place.

Jiang Ruolan did not know where she was now, and after being here for several hours, the anxiety and the fear she had experienced seven years ago assaulted her together.

However, she did her best to control her emotions as she thought carefully about the people who appeared near her recently and the people who might have kidnapped her.

And no matter how much she thought, she still couldn't figure out who was the culprit.

Was it Wei Donghai?

Jiang Bingqing?

Who was it? And for what?

Xian Zihao was still in the hospital with bullet wounds and while she was abducted. Were all these closely intertwined? Even if someone wanted to kidnap her and blackmail her, it wouldn't be right now!

Suddenly, she heard the sound of messy footsteps coming closer and closer.

Jiang Ruolan immediately closed her eyes.

*Creak.*

The sound of a heavy metal door opening was heard.

”Was the drug too strong? Why isn't she awake yet?” A voice of a man in his early twenties was heard.

”Who cares, Old Wei just told us to catch and bring her here. We had watched her for days and finally decided to take the opportunity to kidnap her when some people who were secretly protecting her leave her side last night.” Another impatient voice, sounding like a thirty-four-year-old man, was heard. The voice contained some dissatisfaction.

”This time, after we get the payment, we'd better go abroad to hide. This is Xian Zihao's wife. If we get caught, we won't be able to live a good life anymore!”

”Don't tell me that you guys had overdose this woman and she's dead?” Another man's voice was heard when the metal door opened again. The man walked in and glanced at Jiang Ruolan.

He held out his hand under her nose to check whether she was still breathing or not.

”It's just some knockout drugs, how can she die?” Another man walked in and looked down at the motionless Jiang Ruolan. He hesitated and then said, ”Go call Old Wei and tell him to come here immediately. When will he pay us the remaining money?! This woman has been locked up here for some hours. If she did not die because of overdose, then she would die because of suffocation. Before we hand her to Old Wei, we definitely can't let her die! We can't afford to offend Xian Zihao!”

”I'll get a bottle of water and wake her up.”
