Chapter 184 Cry for Help

Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind.

The current situation in cities in northern Myanmar is quite strange. Just a moment ago, it was a relatively prosperous commercial area, but after walking a few steps, the scene changed completely.

The buildings here are very old, with mottled walls that bear the marks of time and vicissitudes.

Luo Jiayin followed the man as they walked, and the path became increasingly remote.

When they reached the very end of the alley, Luo Jiayin finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, officer, where are you taking me?"

"We'll be there soon," the man said casually.

After many twists and turns, the two finally arrived at a remote and desolate courtyard.

A stone tablet stands in front of the courtyard gate, with the words "Private Residence" written on it.

It looks like... a courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time.

"We've arrived, Miss Luo, please come in."

The man pushed open the half-closed wooden fence and stepped aside to let Luo Jiayin go in first.

Luo Jiayin nodded and went inside.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, a strong smell of decay hit her, and Luo Jiayin's eyelids twitched violently.

She frowned, covered her mouth and nose, and endured the pain as she continued walking forward.

Faintly, I seemed to hear crying coming from ahead.

Luo Jiayin paused, turning her head to look at the man.

"Who's there?" Luo Jiayin asked.

“She’s my wife.” The man sighed and explained, “I’ve been busy with work these past few days and haven’t been able to take good care of her, which caused her to fall ill. I was worried about leaving her alone at home, so I decided to bring her here with me today.”

Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I see... You two have such a good relationship. Go and see her then, I'll wait for you here."

"Okay, I'll have my men take you to rest first." The man nodded with a smile.

No sooner had the man finished speaking than several men in black suddenly appeared from somewhere in the courtyard and surrounded Luo Jiayin.

Luo Jiayin raised her eyes and glanced at the men around her.

The bespectacled man who had brought her here earlier had already left, and the man leading the group of people who came out afterward was clearly the tall man standing right in front of her.

The man was tall and imposing, wearing a simple black shirt with three buttons undone, revealing glimpses of his muscular chest.

He smiled, seemingly mocking her.

Luo Jiayin: ?

Holy crap, what's up with this guy?

Luo Jiayin's heart pounded with alarm. Seeing that the man was about to grab her, Luo Jiayin tiptoed, seized the opportunity, and leaped away, nimbly dodging the man's attack.

However, the moment she landed, the man's long, slender leg swept across sharply, forcing Luo Jiayin to dodge to the side.

While Luo Jiayin was dodging, several other men in black swarmed forward and captured her.

Originally, Luo Jiayin only wanted to test the level of these people and did not intend to actually run away.

After all, she still wanted to find out who had sent these people.

If it was really Luo Huaimin and Dai Fengjiao who discovered her identity, it wouldn't be so troublesome. But if it were other forces...

If someone can accurately pronounce her name, Luo Jiayin, then this matter is not to be underestimated.

...

On the other side, Gu Yishen was standing in front of the French windows in his bedroom, talking on the phone.

"Have you retrieved the call records for this number?"

"All call logs have been retrieved and encrypted, and sent to your email address," the person on the other end of the phone said.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Gu Yishen hung up the phone, opened his email, and found the encrypted file.

The most recent call was made from that number to Gu Yishen.

Gu Yishen had just finished washing up and was about to go to the gym when he realized that Luo Jia should already be up. So he found the number that he had just had someone look up the night before, which might belong to Luo Jia, and dialed it.

Unsurprisingly, no one answered the phone after it was dialed.

Gu Yishen didn't take it seriously and went straight to the gym.

Just as he finished changing his clothes and came out, his phone rang. Gu Yishen picked it up and saw that it was the same number calling him back.

After Gu Yishen answered the phone, he heard an unusual sound coming from the other end.

There were both men and women speaking.

Gu Yishen didn't recognize the man's voice, but the distinctly female voice...

Gu Yishen recognized it immediately—it was Luo Jia's voice!

Although the difference was obvious at first glance, Gu Yishen could tell from the person's tone of voice, intonation, and vocal quality.

He was quite certain that the "woman" was Luo Jia.

Didn't Luo Jia say he was going to take care of family matters? What is he doing now?

Could it be that Luo Jia... is actually a woman? Or is he pretending to be a woman? Under what circumstances would he need to do this?

However, before Gu Yishen could think too much, he heard what sounded like fighting and a man's threatening voice coming from the other side.

Gu Yishen's previously confused thoughts suddenly became clear.

Luo Jia is crying for help!

He must have encountered some danger!

Gu Yishen knew that some mobile phones had an SOS function, which allowed users to press a specific key or combination of keys to make an emergency call to a pre-set emergency contact.

If Luo Jia hasn't set it up, then this call will automatically go to the last person who called this number.

The call he made to Luo Jia was not answered, which means that Luo Jia was unaware that he was being called for help.

The person Luo Jia originally wanted to call for help wasn't him, but...

Before him, the person who spoke to him on the phone with Loka's knowledge!

The fact that Luo Jia was able to ask that person for help under these circumstances shows that Luo Jia knew that that person could definitely save him.

Gu Yishen clenched his fists tightly.

Luo Jia...who are you?! Where are you, and what are you doing?!

Gu Yishen didn't dare to think too much and quickly found the last number in the call log that had spoken with Luo Jia before his call with Luo Jia.

"Hiss... It's an unknown number..."

"Damn it!" Gu Yishen slammed his fist on the table, his mood extremely irritable.

He didn't have any legitimate reason to ask "the other side" to retrieve Luo Jia's call records, but the situation was urgent at the time, and Gu Yishen didn't have time to think about it.

However, retrieving a call record was not a big deal, so he did it anyway, and it wasn't anything extraordinary.

But if we get "the other side" to help crack this unknown number...

Gu Yishen gently bit his lower lip.
