He picked up his mobile phone, quickly typed several numbers on the keypad, made a call, whispered a few words to the person on the other end, then grabbed Xu Xinchen's hair and forcibly dragged her into the coffee shop.

While struggling to buy time, Xu Xinchen silently hoped that Gu Yan would bring the police over as soon as possible.

What Xu Xinchen didn't know was that the first thing Gu Yan did after she told him to call the police wasn't to call the police directly as Xu Xinchen said, but to call Chen Ningsheng immediately.

Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Chen Ningsheng stood up abruptly, exuding a cold, icy aura.

He left the people in the conference room waiting for his decision, pushed open the door and walked out. The people in the office were frozen in place by the oppressive aura emanating from Chen Ningsheng, which seemed to freeze them solid. They didn't even have the strength to move.

After leaving the conference room, Chen Ningsheng quickly arrived at his office, found a contact list, and made a phone call to one of the people on the list.

After taking Xu Xinchen to the coffee shop's kitchen, Manager Li forcibly pushed her to the ground and tied her up with a rope.

After doing all this, Manager Li coldly taped Xu Xinchen's mouth shut and said to the people around him, "You two go out and lock this woman in the van. Get her out of here right away."

Xu Xinchen stared wide-eyed at Supervisor Li, and when she saw him still nonchalantly giving instructions, panic spread across her face.

Upon hearing what Manager Li said, the two waiters immediately nodded and pulled Xu Xinchen toward the back door of the kitchen.

When they reached an open space outside, Xu Xinchen indeed saw a van, a common sight in this era, parked there.

Xu Xinchen struggled desperately, not wanting to go up, but the two waiters grabbed her arms on either side and forcibly lifted her up.

Xu Xinchen felt her arms being gripped painfully by the two waiters, and her struggles weakened considerably. After struggling for only a few minutes, she was still locked into the van by the waiters. As soon as she entered the van, she immediately felt the vibration of the vehicle starting.

With a soft rumble, Xu Xinchen felt the car start to move. At that moment, the courage she had shown when facing Manager Li was completely forgotten, and tears streamed down her face.

Filled with intense tension and fear of the unknown, Xu Xinchen didn't think she could expect a good outcome in the hands of someone with such dark intentions.

If Gu Yan couldn't bring the police to find her quickly, she might be subjected to inhumane treatment. Recalling the news she had seen before, Xu Xinchen felt increasingly panicked and couldn't help but curl up into a tight ball.

Inside the van, the voices of the two waiters kept coming from the front, reaching Xu Xinchen's ears.

Inside: "What will happen this time?"

The other person's voice was filled with laughter: "What else can happen? The same fate as the previous ones, but this one might be a little worse."

Upon hearing this slightly tragic comment, another person seemed amused and burst into laughter, saying, "Is it because she offended Brother Li?"

Another person said, "What else? To be honest, after following Brother Li for so long, this is the first time I've seen anyone dare to treat him like this. Did you see the angry look on Brother Li's face just now? This woman is probably going to die a horrible death."

As they were talking, the voice suddenly clicked its tongue twice, sounding quite regretful: "This woman is quite pretty. If she had gone along with Brother Li from the beginning, she would have only been tormented in bed at most. Now, she might really be left to rot in the wilderness."

“But…” another voice sounded hesitant: “The man who just ran away seems to have gone to the police station. If the police come knocking, this woman will probably be fine soon.”

"What are you thinking?" Another voice sounded disdainful: "The police are indeed very capable, but as long as we stick to the story that we didn't see this woman, and find a few witnesses to prove that she was never here, it's just that kid talking all by himself. There are no witnesses and no physical evidence, so what good is that?"

As they were talking, the speaker suddenly laughed: "Then we can just find some excuse and say that this kid has gone mad and is talking nonsense."

"If all else fails, just say that kid and Brother Li are now business rivals, and he's doing this to suppress Brother Li."

"They're making a false police report. With so many of us here as witnesses, who knows who'll end up in jail?"

As Xu Xinchen listened, she gradually calmed down, and her tears stopped flowing uncontrollably. According to these two people, they didn't know who Gu Yan was at all. It seemed that Manager Li also didn't know Gu Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing.

According to this logic, then Manager Li's actual strength is not as great as he boasts. At most, he only knows a few low-level thugs. Otherwise, how could he not even know Gu Yan?

Once she calmed down, Xu Xinchen was no longer so panicked. She looked up and surveyed the small, cramped carriage, pondering what she should do to attract the attention of those outside.

Should I ram the carriages? That definitely won't work. If I move, those two people inside might immediately start punching and kicking me. If that hurts me, and I can't get the message out, then I'll be in big trouble.

Just as Xu Xinchen was pondering what she should do, Chen Ningsheng's car had already passed by the van carrying Xu Ningsheng.

Chen Ningsheng had been focusing all his attention on the coffee shop, so his eyes were fixed on the window, silently calculating the distance.

Just then, Chen Ningsheng saw the van that was holding Xu Xinchen. He frowned and had a strange feeling in his heart, as if it was telling him to follow the van.
