Chapter 449 Chen Chen Is MissingChen Chen ran out of her house with her ears covered.
She didn’t want to go there because she was terribly frightened, but she lost control and arrived at the gate of the cafeteria by taxi.
The sunshine of spring sprinkled on the display window. From across the road, Chen Chen saw Zhou Yiyun holding a bunch of flowers with a bright smile. Opposite Zhou Yiyun sat Jiang Rui, who was carefully looking at her. Zhou Yiyun seemed to be speaking while Jiang Rui was listening with full attention.
Suddenly, her heart was filled with pain and bitterness as if someone was cutting it slowly with a knife to get the blood out. What was even more painful was her silent shouts.
“I’ve told you that he is not a good guy. He almost killed me the last time. But you just wouldn’t heed my words…”
“Ah!!!” Chen Chen waved her arms in the noisy crowd while the man and woman were still murmuring there.
As if he had felt something strange, Jiang Rui turned around to look outside and his expression changed all of a sudden.
Zhou Yiyun also saw Chen Chen and uttered a cry. Then she saw Jiang Rui run out.
Chen Chen saw Jiang Rui coming out of the cafeteria looking at her anxiously. At the moment, she just wanted to escape so she turned around and stumbled and ran away.
“Liuliu!” Jiang Rui’s shout was mixed with panic and horror but it instantly disappeared in the crowded traffic. He saw Liuliu crossing the crowd and disappearing.
Jiang Rui broke down. He chased after Chen Chen and called her at the same time, but there was no reply. Then he called Xiao Si.
“Use the satellite to track down Liuliu.”
Xiao Si found Jiang Rui’s voice was shaking and was scared. So he asked, “Master, what happened to your wife?”
“Quickly track her down. Stop wasting time!”
“I got it. I got in.” Xiao Si was scared. He could imagine how scary Jiang Rui looked at the moment.
Jiang Rui stood at a crossing. “Hurry up. Where is she?”
“On the west side of Huaihai Road. She is still moving.” Xiao Si reported her location.
Jiang Rui ran to the right side of the road right away. “Are there any of our guys around this place?”
“Yes. Two buddies live there.”
“Tell them to stop Liuliu. Be careful not to scare her and wait there until I arrive.”
Xiao Si nodded immediately. “I’ve informed them.”
Chen Chen was panicked and kept running forward. Suddenly, two men in military uniforms ran out from an alley.
“Mrs.,” one of the soldiers whose hair was still wet said, “Master is looking for you! Please wait for him!”
The other one took out a communicator to report, “We’ve stopped her. Okay, I got it!”
Chen Chen took a glance and threw the locator that was stuck on her ear to the ground. “Go away. I don’t want to see him.”
“h.e.l.lo, miss! Do you need any help?” A taxi stopped by the road. “These days, soldiers aren’t necessarily good people. They even dare to accost girls in public.”
Chen Chen only wanted to run and get away from Jiang Rui and this place at the moment. Therefore, she directly got into the car without thinking twice.
The two soldiers who stopped her didn’t expect that she would just get into the car. So when they went to stop her, it was too late and the car had already set out. Then one of them rushed to drive a car and the other hurried to report the situation.
“Go away.” There came the grim voice. Then Jiang Rui sat in the driver seat and started the car.
The man whose hair was wet didn’t dare to say a single word. When Jiang Rui reached the end of the street and didn’t know where to go, he said weakly, “Master… your wife threw away the locator.”
“Screech…” The sharp sound of the brakes rang out. Then Jiang Rui turned around to look at him. “What—did—you—say?”
Hearing his serious words and seeing his scary face, he was too scared to say anything.
“Master, the locator and your phone are in the same place. Have you found her?” Xiao Si’s voice came out from the communicator. Jiang Rui closed his eyes and pushed his foot hard on the throttle.
“Inform all the police to block the city and look for a car with the license 801216.”
By the time Jiang Rui arrived in the monitor room in the troops, Xiao Si had already a.s.signed the task.
“Master, the car you told me about has been found. It was ditched by the gate of a shopping mall. They have sent back the video.”
The camera outside the gate clearly filmed the whole process of Chen Chen being dragged out of the car by two men and tucked into another car. Xiao Si swallowed his saliva and kept silent. The reason for that was in the process, Chen Chen seemed to try to escape and a man slapped her.
The air around them froze. Xiao Si secretly glanced at Jiang Rui and noticed the darkness in his eyes. He was stiff and full of ferocity. His expression was like a dead man.
“Ma… Master…”
Jiang Rui took a deep breath and sat down. “Send the video to the police and the traffic ministry to find the car and the person…”
“Scar and Bear have set out!” Xiao Si said rapidly.
A long desperate silence ensued.
Xiao Si couldn’t stand the atmosphere any longer, so he asked, “Master… did you annoy her?”
He didn’t have to ask if they had a quarrel or not because Jiang Rui would never quarrel with Chen Chen. He cared too much for her. So he must have done something that Chen Chen misunderstood.
“You have nothing to do now?” Jiang Rui silently glanced at him. “Go and watch the monitor.”
Xiao Si groveled on the computer and wanted to disappear in it.
Until dawn, they got no news at all. During that period, Jiang Rui called Wen Pintang and asked him to take Tuan Zi to his home.
“Is there anything wrong with Liuliu?” Wen Pintang asked him. “This afternoon, the street was blocked and I heard that it was an order from the troops.”
In the capital, Jiang Rui was the only one who could give this kind of order.
Jiang Rui kept quiet and Wen Pintang said angrily, “You can’t keep it long. The Wan family is watching the capital!”
“I know.”
“If you need help, just tell me.”
Having hung up the phone, Jiang Rui’s brain was a mess. He could see Chen Chen’s sad disappointed face across the road. Then he started to imagine the possible harm that Chen Chen might have suffered. Jiang Rui would rather shoot himself.
If he had known the consequence, he wouldn’t have done any of these things. Now Liuliu not only misunderstood, but she was also kidnapped.
“Master!” Bear rushed in, “the Lu family did it!”
Jiang Rui’s eyes showed his killing desire. “Where is Lu Tao?”
“It wasn’t Lu Tao.” Bear took a sip. “When we were investigating, we found that the second and third son of the Lu family had looked for illegal help. The guy who drove the car is under control now. According to his words, somebody had given him money and told him to take Mrs. Jiang to a place.
“But he didn’t know who they were or where they took your wife. We showed him the pictures and it was the brothers in the Lu family.”
Xiao Si turned on the video again. “It should be them. Though their faces were covered, the heights looked the same.”
Just after the words, the phone rang.
“Officer Jiang! We have a deal that I think you must be interested in…”
The night was turning dark and it became dirty and shining in the city. A street in the South City was noisy and full of colorful lights. It was a well-known street filled with bars. Every night, there were plenty of men and women looking to have fun there.
When Chen Chen woke up, she found herself groveling on the toilet. She stood up quickly but soon fell down due to dizziness.
“I’m so dizzy…” She shook her head and recalled that she had been dragged into a car by two strangers. Then they covered her mouth with a towel and she lost consciousness.
She moved a bit and made sure that she didn’t lose any of her limbs. Then Chen Chen held on to the wall to stand up. She carefully pushed the door open and looked around. Then she realized it was really a restroom.
But it was decorated in a bold way…
She took a look at the tap, which was shaped like a p.e.n.i.s, and took in a cold breath. Then she slowly pulled open the restroom door and was shocked again.
The wall across from her had wallpaper that was covered with pictures of naked women. Chen Chen ground her teeth and kept walking forward. Every once in a while, she could see women with heavy makeup who were almost naked walking by.
Through the corridor, she pushed a door open, and inside was dim lights and heavy metal music.
“So it’s a bar!” Chen Chen felt relieved that it wasn’t anywhere strange.
When she was thinking, she saw a woman surrounded by two men. And it wasn’t difficult to tell what they were doing from their movements.
Chen Chen quickly lowered her head and realized that this was a horrible place. She started to become scared.
“Yo, there’s a girl!” A man in tights came up close. “Come here and have a drink.” He tucked a gla.s.s into Chen Chen’s hand and threw a pink pill in it.
Chen Chen saw the bubbles coming out and returned it to the man. “No.”
“Since you’re out to play, don’t be so shy!” The man held her. “After you drink it, I can make you comfortable!”
Chen Chen struggled to push him away. “Go away! I won’t drink it!”
The drink was poured on the man’s body so he smashed the gla.s.s. “Dammit! You s.k.a.n.ky b.i.t.c.h!” Then he waved his hand and three other men came over.
“Hold her tight.” The man came over to her with a dirty smile and pinched Chen Chen’s chin.
Chen Chen’s arms were caught by two men and her hair was in their hands as well. She couldn’t move aside from shaking her head while crying.
“Brother Xiao Rui… Brother Xiao Rui…”
Suddenly, she remembered that Jiang Rui had another woman and cried even harder painfully.
“Dad… Bro…” She mumbled and saw the man grabbing her mouth and pouring in a bag of white powder.
Chen Chen’s throat felt terrible and she was about to vomit. But the man heavily covered her mouth and poured a bottle of alcohol down her throat.
Her throat felt like it was burning and her stomach was a mess. She wanted to throw up, but there was nothing.
She felt softer and softer and gradually lost focus. The last impression she had was lying in a man’s arms, who was looking at her in a randy way.
All the pain was gone. Chen Chen felt so light, as if she was flying or swimming in water. She had never felt as comfortable as this before and there was nothing in her brain but coziness, which brought her further and further down.
