That afternoon, Hao Zhengguang and An Jing went to the container house. They didn't see the wheels, but the brothers outside recognized them. After informing Chen Dong and getting his permission, they took him all the way to the office on the second floor.

Of course Chen Dong knew why they came, so after entering the house, without waiting for the two to ask, the first thing he said was, "Don't look for them. Xiaotian and Dongzi are not in the city. Their fate cannot be controlled by others. Whether they can come back alive depends entirely on their luck."

Upon hearing this, Hao Zhengguang's brows furrowed, and he took a few steps forward and asked urgently, "Master Dong, Brother Tian has been missing for three days. During these three days, the brothers have been searching the city like crazy. Since you know the reason, even if you don't help, can you at least let us know?"

Chen Dong raised his eyes and looked at him, then sighed slightly: "Not telling you is for your own good. Do you also want to follow in Xiaotian's footsteps and get trapped in danger?

I don't like beating around the bush. Since you want to know the whole story, okay, I'll tell you!"

Then, Chen Dong told the story of how You Tianfu provoked Phyllis without reservation, but omitted the part about how he asked Lun Zi to come forward to help.

After hearing this, Hao Zhengguang's face turned strange. He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything because he could also hear the seriousness of the situation and there was nothing he could do.

Chen Dong's voice sank. "Young people, it's good to start with a bang, but many things require a long-term approach. I've reminded you more than once that if you want to settle down in Chinatown, you must first lay a solid foundation. Quick success is a taboo!"

It’s a pity that Xiaotian failed to understand the true meaning. Even if he didn’t happen to let those women go, Phyllis would still have other excuses to take action, and the final result would not change.

Now that Xiaotian is not here, you few are left. You can continue to build the entertainment city, or you can go to the north of the city to find Phyllis to ask for his release.

But I still say that if you don't learn anything from this incident, Xiaotian and Dongzi will have sacrificed their lives in vain!

Coming out of Chen Dong's office, An Jing's eyes were filled with anxiety: "What should we do next?"

Hao Zhengguang was silent for a long time, and walked halfway out of the street. His expression suddenly became firm: "Chen Dong is right. Passion alone cannot accomplish anything great. There are always people who are better than us. We must know our own limitations.

I believe in Tian Ge and Dong Zi's abilities. Even if they are sent to the mine, they will definitely be able to escape safely!

What we have to do is to hold on to this corner of our country and wait for them to come back!"

Hao Zhengguang chose to wait, while You Tianfu and Lin Lidong in the mine were indeed looking for opportunities.

After a few days of mining with the main group, the two had already adapted to the pace of life in the mines, and their relationship with Lao Pang had quickly grown closer. Thanks to Lao Pang's help and guidance, they had indeed avoided a lot of hardship. Otherwise, newcomers here would not have worked honestly without being beaten three or five times.

As their relationship grew closer, they talked more to each other. The three of them chatted while working. When Lao Pang heard that You Tianfu was a college student, his eyes suddenly turned red. When he heard that they came from Chinatown, he almost burst into tears.

While swinging his arms to smash the rocks, he choked up and said, "To be honest, don't look at my appearance, I'm actually a real college student..."

After talking intermittently for a long time, Lao Pang told them that he had the same talent as You Tian. After graduating from university, he entered the society and started his own business with his flexible mind. He founded a small company, which he expanded step by step. When it was about to be listed on the stock market, the company went bankrupt due to strategic mistakes.

Overnight, he went from a young and promising company boss to a debt-ridden loser.

Although he was defeated miserably, Lao Pang refused to give up. The stubbornness of a young man still remained in his heart. He spent three days building up his confidence and decided to start over, gradually regaining what he had lost.

So he decided to start from the grassroots level, apply for a job first, and work as a clerk. After paying off his debts and accumulating some funds, he would continue to make great achievements.

It was also at this time that one of his classmates sent him a message inviting him to work in a foreign company. He would start in a management position and the salary was excellent, four or five times higher than the salary in first-tier cities in China.

This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Lao Pang, who was eager to pay off his debts. He agreed without thinking, packed his luggage, and went abroad directly.

He came to Laos with the dream of getting rich, but he didn't realize he had stepped into a huge trap. From the moment he boarded the "company car", he fell into a pit of fire, completely changing the trajectory of his life...

Several so-called "colleagues" came to greet him politely, but their expressions changed immediately after he got in the car. They confiscated all his luggage and personal belongings, and then took him to a dark factory.

In the factory dormitory, there were many young people like him, all imprisoned in one room.

These people included both men and women, but without exception they were only wearing shorts. Most of them had bruises and bloodstains on their bodies. Women did not receive any special mercy. On the contrary, some good-looking ones were subjected to additional torture.

Seeing the scene inside the house, Lao Pang immediately knew that he had been deceived and turned to run away. However, it was too late for him to react. Before he could even run out of the door, he was pinned to the ground and beaten violently.

Four or five people attacked together, regardless of severity or position, punching and kicking for a long time, and the first beating almost killed Lao Pang...

In order to survive, Lao Pang dared not resist anymore and could only obediently enter the room and mingle with others.

He stayed there for seven whole days. Every day, people were brought in and out. No one knew where they were taken. All they knew was that once they left the room, almost no one could come back.

On the eighth day, Lao Pang was also forcibly taken away. Before that, he had more or less learned about the relevant situation in China. He also knew that many young people were deceived and taken abroad to engage in telecommunications fraud.

Lao Pang thought that he would be in the same situation, and would be taken to a certain base, and then undergo various trainings and start to cheat people.

But he didn't know that his fate was far more miserable than he had imagined. After leaving the factory, he was not taken to a fraud den, but was sent to an unknown remote mountainous area. He was bought by a family for a mere $500 and used as a slave...
