She waited for the light to come back on, then backed the car out, but after more than a minute there was still no reaction.

Instead, it was pitch black.

She immediately realized something was wrong, turned on the car lights, and got out to check.

"What's going on?" Lin's mother asked immediately when she returned to the car, realizing that something was wrong.

“The container door is locked,” Mo Jiao replied.

Lin's mother was taken aback in surprise, "What are the Liang family planning to do!"

They actually locked the dignified matriarch of the Lin family in a shipping container!

Mo Jiao calmly took out her phone. Fortunately, there was a signal, and she immediately dialed back the Liang family's number.

However, the other end of the line did not answer the phone.

Very good, it seems the Liang family did this intentionally.

Mo Jiao first noted down the debt, then transferred the money to her own people.

"The old lady and I are trapped in a container at the dock. Send someone over quickly, to area H."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately told Lin's mother, "I've already contacted my people, and they'll be here soon."

Lin's mother looked grave and asked, "Is it really that simple?"

Sure enough, an hour later, Mo Jiao received a call: "We've arrived at the dock, searched everywhere, but there's no H section at all!"

Mo Jiao's gaze faltered. "Anyway, the old lady and I are in the container now. You can search for us one by one."

After a moment of silence, someone on the other end replied, "Okay."

Mo Jiao hung up the phone, and Lin's mother's voice came through: "There are tens of thousands of containers here. If you ask them to search them one by one, when will they ever find them?"

The facts are already clear: District H was fabricated by the Liang family.

The sign for Zone H that Mo Jiao had seen earlier had long been removed, and the container they were in was one of tens of thousands of containers.

Expecting them to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Mo Jiao lowered her eyes: "Madam, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, I'll drive the car out."

“I should be telling you not to rush,” Lin’s mother replied. “Driving a car into a container? Do you know how heavy the container door is? If the car catches fire from the impact, then we’ll be doomed.”

Lin's mother spoke calmly, and she was also calm inside.

The viciousness of the Liang family was something she had not anticipated.

But if Lin Zhibai caused trouble, and someone in the Liang family had to pay for it, she felt it was fair that she could make amends on behalf of her son.

...

Gu Fanyan found it strange. After following the Lin family's car into the dock, she turned several corners and then couldn't find them anywhere.

Just then, she saw several people walking towards her. One of them looked familiar; he was Lin Zhibai's assistant.

"Where is Lin Zhibai?" she asked as she stepped forward.

"Miss Gu?" The assistant was taken aback when she suddenly saw her. "What are you doing here? Our Young Master Lin is still at the hotel."

Gu Fanyan looked puzzled. "Lin Zhibai is still at the hotel? Then who is here?"

"It's the old lady of the Lin family," the assistant replied.

Gu Fanyan was surprised; she hadn't expected Lin's mother to come as well.

She knew that Lin Zhibai had made a huge fuss about this.

"Did Aunt Lin and the Liang family arrange to meet here? Was it the Liang family who requested it, or Aunt Lin?" she asked.

“Miss Gu,” the assistant frowned, “the Liang family has ill intentions; they locked the old lady in the shipping container!”

The assistant recounted what he had learned.

After listening, Gu Fanyan felt a thin layer of cold sweat on her palms.

Liang's father was ruthless. Once he decided to kill Lin Zhibai, he tried another move when the first one failed!

He probably didn't expect that the person who came to keep the appointment was not Lin Zhibai, but Old Madam Lin!

If something were to really happen to Madam Lin, the feud between the Lin and Liang families would be truly established.

“Send more people to continue the search,” Gu Fanyan said immediately. “I’ll contact Liang Zixin right away.”

Liang Zixin quickly arrived with several assistants.

"The Liang family is here!" someone shouted, and the Lin family members nearby immediately gathered around, including their assistants and those temporarily hired to look for people—dozens of people in total.

One punch from any one person could knock Liang Zixin down.

"Liang Zixin, is this dock yours?" Gu Fanyan quickly asked loudly.

He can control the dock, and that means he can rescue Madam Lin.

Upon hearing this, the Lin family's anger subsided slightly.

Liang Zixin nodded, "That's right, the dock belongs to my family, but I asked my dad, and he didn't have anyone lock Madam Lin in the container!"

That statement is a bit puzzling.

"Hey, what do you mean by this!" the Lin family assistant roared. "It's obvious you don't want to release them, isn't it!"

The atmosphere, which had just eased, was about to erupt into a heated argument again.

Liang Zixin remained calm, frowning slightly: "I have no reason to lie to you, especially since this meeting was at the invitation of the Lin family."

"Impossible!" the assistant immediately denied. "I heard it clearly; it was a call from your Liang family!"

Liang Zixin didn't argue, and pulled out a cell phone, saying, "This is the number!"

Gu Fanyan believed Liang Zixin, but now was not the time to argue about it. "Write down this number," she told her assistant. "We'll pursue this matter further once we find Aunt Lin."

Her firm tone reassured the flustered Lin family subordinates, and the atmosphere eased once again.

The assistant thought to herself, "Thank goodness Gu Fanyan is here!"

Gu Fanyan continued, "Liang Zixin, let's not worry about who locked Aunt Lin in the container for now. You know the docks, so how did this person intend to harm her?"

Liang Zixin pondered for a moment.

Locking them in containers to die of thirst or starvation is impossible. No matter how many containers there are or how many people are sent to search, it will take at most two days to find them.

"Unless the container is loaded onto a cargo ship and sails at sea for at least half a month... once it's on board, death is certain!"

Everyone gasped!

What a vicious plan!

What a wicked heart!

Liang Zixin immediately called the port management office and received definite news that about two thousand containers would be loaded into the cargo ship in half an hour!

He guessed right!

“The people must be in those two thousand or so containers,” Liang Zixin speculated. “Now there are only about a hundred left that haven’t been loaded onto the cargo ship!”

"Which dock?" Gu Fanyan asked.

"Sector C".

Everyone rushed towards area C.

A shipping container is being slowly lifted.

Liang Zixin stopped running and looked up to observe the container.

"What did you find?" Gu Fanyan asked.

“That’s it!” Liang Zixin pointed at it. “Its door has been modified.”

Gu Fanyan didn't quite understand, but Liang Zixin was very familiar with it. If he said it was true, then it must be.

Liang Zixin immediately made a phone call: "Tell the control room to lower box number 5897 immediately!"

However, after waiting for several dozen seconds, the control panel did not respond, and the container continued to move upwards.

Liang Zixin's phone rang urgently, and the voice on the other end said, "Young Master Liang, the control panel is malfunctioning!"

"Turn off the power! Turn off the power immediately!" Liang Zixin ordered.

"Power off?" The other person was stunned. "There are three control consoles loading cargo boxes!"

Once it stops, it will trigger a series of chain reactions and losses!

As they were talking, Liang Zixin noticed a slight change in Gu Fanyan's expression.

Lin Zhibai strode over.
