"Xiaoxiao, where did you find Ruan Ruan's phone? Take me there to check it out," Li Qian asked.
Xiaoxiao nodded, leading her to the place where she had found Ruan Ruan's phone.
In the private room, some people looked shocked, some were worried, and one person had a strange look in his eyes, but it was so quick that no one noticed.
Luo Haofeng rushed out of the private room, went straight to the lobby manager, and explained the situation, asking to check the restaurant's surveillance cameras.
Upon hearing that his friend was missing in the restaurant, the lobby manager didn't hesitate at all. He immediately called the security office to ask if anyone had taken a woman out of the restaurant.
Luo Haofeng stood by, listening to the report on the phone. His heart sank, and his grip on the phone tightened.
The lobby manager was startled by his expression and quickly tried to calm him down. "Mr. Luo, I'll call the police right now and take you to check the surveillance to see who it was..."
"Let's go, check the surveillance first!" Luo Haofeng interrupted, cutting off the manager's words. He dialed Mo Xiuchen's number using Ruan Ruan's phone. Last night, Mo Xiuchen had told him to protect Ruan Ruan at all costs.
He had promised that with him around, Ruan Ruan would be safe, and he followed her all day. But in the end, someone had still found an opening.
If anything happened to Ruan Ruan, he would feel like he could only die to apologize!
Mo Xiuchen had come to F City but didn't notify Ruan Ruan. However, he did inform Luo Haofeng.
The person who had come to pick him up at the airport was someone Luo Haofeng had arranged. F City and H City were close, so Luo Haofeng was somewhat familiar with F City.
When his phone rang, Mo Xiuchen had just finished a call. The car was already on the road. Seeing the caller ID was Ruan Ruan's name, Mo Xiuchen's lips curved into a faint smile. His gaze shifted to the window as he answered the call, his voice soft and gentle, "Hello!"
"Xiuchen, it's me. Ruan Ruan's in trouble!" Luo Haofeng's voice came from the other side.
Mo Xiuchen's expression suddenly changed, his deep eyes flashed with worry, and he asked, "What happened? I just spoke with her."
"It happened right after she spoke with you. Her phone was found outside the restroom. The restaurant's security confirmed that two men took her away. Xiuchen, I'm about to check the surveillance. Should we call the police?"
Mo Xiuchen gripped the phone tightly, his eyes darkening like ink. He replied in a deep voice, "No need to call the police. I already know who took her."
Just now, the people Qin Mu found had informed him of the identities and addresses of the two men. Although Luo Haofeng was familiar with F City, Qin Mu's friend, 'Ming Shu,' was well-connected in F City's underworld. When Qin Mu had been investigating Ruan Ruan's background, he had also contacted Ming Shu.
While they didn't yet know who was behind the scenes, they had identified the two men who had been waiting for Ruan Ruan outside the hotel last night.
"Did you figure out who those two were from last night?"
"Yes, just got the information. You should head to this address now…" Mo Xiuchen relayed the address to Luo Haofeng. He then told the driver where to go. Luo Haofeng immediately turned the wheel and sped in the other direction, disregarding traffic rules.
After hanging up with Luo Haofeng, Mo Xiuchen directly called Ming Shu to ask for help. Without hesitation, Ming Shu agreed.
Waking Up in a Car
Ruan Ruan woke up from the bumping of the car.
Due to the drug, she felt dizzy when she regained consciousness. She cracked open her eyes slightly, seeing only darkness.
Her body was bound with ropes. She didn't dare to move, glanced at the men next to her, and immediately closed her eyes again, suppressing her rising panic and fear. She forced herself to stay calm.
The dream from last night flooded her mind. Ruan Ruan clenched her fists quietly. Although what was happening now was slightly different from her dream, it was becoming true!
She kept her eyes closed, not knowing which direction the car was going, but the road was uneven, occasionally bumping violently. It felt like they were driving uphill.
Ruan Ruan recalled being taken away from the restaurant with her mouth and nose covered, and her phone had fallen to the ground. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but Xiaoxiao and the others were definitely frantic by now.
"Big brother, this girl is really beautiful. She's perfect, and her body is great. We really hit the jackpot this time!"
The voices coming from beside her made Ruan Ruan's face turn pale. Instinctively, she held her breath and didn't dare to move. She could feel eyes staring at her from the man sitting next to her.
"After I'm done with her, let everyone have a go. Just don't kill her," another disgusting voice lecherously echoed in the car.
Ruan Ruan pressed her lips together tightly, silently telling herself that nothing would happen.
"Thanks, big brother. Tonight we're lucky. Not only do we get to play with a beautiful girl, but we also get to fly abroad."
From their conversation, Ruan Ruan gathered there were three people in the car.
Her heart sank with every word they said. She could feel their gaze on her, but she kept her eyes shut, not daring to open them. After about ten minutes, one of them said, "Big brother, we've arrived."
The car stopped, and Ruan Ruan's heart was filled with dread. She quickly scanned the situation. When the man called "Big Brother" got out of the car, she took the opportunity to open her eyes and saw they had arrived at a dilapidated house.
There were two rough-looking men at the door, calling out "Big Brother" in excitement. She was panicking, her hands and feet bound, and there was almost no chance for her to escape.
Her phone wasn't with her, so she couldn't even try to dial for help.
The man called "Big Brother" and the other two entered the house. The car door beside her opened, and someone reached in to grab her. Ruan Ruan stiffened. The man realized she was awake and paused for a moment, then said, "Beauty, I know you're awake. Why not open your eyes?"
Unable to pretend anymore, Ruan Ruan glared at him and asked angrily, "Who are you people?"
"You'll know soon enough. We're the ones who can make you happy, beauty. Since you're already here, you can't escape. How about I untie you?"
He looked at the door and saw no one was coming, then grinned lecherously at her.
Ruan Ruan's mind raced. "You're not the boss. Are you brave enough to do that?"
"I'm definitely brave enough. I'll untie you right now. This place is in the mountains, no one around. You can't escape."
Provoked by her words, the man really reached to untie the ropes. Ruan Ruan took the opportunity to observe the surroundings. Although she wasn't sure whether the place was as remote as he said, she could tell they were indeed in the mountains, and it was pitch black.
But no matter what, she couldn't just sit and wait. She had to escape!
"Wait, I'll let you untie me, but you'll need to give me something in return. Let me kiss you first, then take this."
