Chapter 280: Tianxin Was Kidnapped (1)
“How much money do you want before you will let me go?”
Ye Tianxin thought that if they were just getting paid to kidnap her, she could just bribe them with money.
In this world, money could solve anything, everything.
“You are rather brave.”
One of the men glanced at Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin had not been able to react before a man hit her, and she fell unconscious.
“This young woman is rather brave,” one man remarked.
“Shut up!” the men said in unison.
The van drove down the road. Ye Tianxin was moved several times.
When Ye Tianxin opened her eyes, she found herself shut in a tiny room.
There was only a tiny window. When she looked outside, it was already dark.
It was nighttime already.
Ye Tianxin moved her neck and checked herself. She was still wearing the dress she wore earlier. There was a bit of dirt as well as some green gra.s.s stains on the hem of her dress.
Ye Tianxin inhaled and smelled the air. There was a faint smell of mold in the air.
“Are you awake? Have some food!” the man told Ye Tianxin. He was guarding the door.
Ye Tianxin glanced at the man’s hands. He had not brought any food with him. Did that mean that they were going out to eat?
“Come with me,” the man said just as Ye Tianxin thought of that.
Ye Tianxin trailed behind the man obediently. When she walked out of the room, she was confused upon realizing that she might be in an abandoned jail. The thing was that the setup of the room was very similar to that of a jail.
Why did she think that the place was abandoned?
It was because there was a moldy smell in the air.
The man walked in front of Ye Tianxin, kicking up a flurry of dust. The dust rose in the air.
Ye Tianxin’s heart leaped frantically.
She couldn’t help but think of the worst.
What if these people were human traffickers?
She had heard that human traffickers would sell girls to faraway places to old men as slaves. They were treated like animals. If that happened, she would not only lose her freedom but would also not be able to see Grandmother and Li Qingcang ever.
Ye Tianxin had never expected that something like this would happen to her in a place like the capital. She could only hope that Jing Zhichen would realize that something untoward had happened to her.
After walking about 50 meters…
They arrived at an empty s.p.a.ce after the short trek. There was a table made out of wooden boards on the floor.
Food were laid out on the table. There were bread, fruits, and mineral water bought from the supermarket.
“Sit.”
Ye Tianxin counted the number of mineral water bottles on the table silently.
There were 12 bottles in total.
And there were also 12 packets of bread.
This meant that there were 12 people here. However, she had only seen the buff man behind her up until now.
Ye Tianxin recalled the events when her mouth was m.u.f.fled and was brought onto the van. There had been five muscular men on the van then.
“If you cry again, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks,” one threatened.
Ye Tianxin heard a man approaching from the dark. The man was holding a little girl who looked very weak. The girl kept sobbing softly.
“Shouhu, you’ve scared this young lady,” the man who had been standing behind Ye Tianxin stated.
Shouhu, who was tall and muscular, complained, “I have never seen such a troublesome woman. She keeps crying and she’s so annoying. Let me tell you, I will sew your lips up if you don’t shut up!” Shouhu said as he threw the girl in the seat across Ye Tianxin.
