Zhou Qiqi was roughly shoved into the back of the van. The strong smell of sweat and engine oil mixed together made her almost vomit.
She struggled desperately, trying to scream and question what these people were trying to do.
But these people were clearly ruthless criminals who were used to this kind of thing; they all had fierce faces and wouldn't let her make a sound.
They pulled out a dirty rag, the original purpose of which was unknown, and shoved it into her mouth.
The indescribable sour and rotten smell assaulted her senses, and all the sounds she uttered were stuck in her throat.
Immediately afterwards, rough hemp rope was wrapped around her and tied her up tightly.
Her hands were tightly bound to her sides, and her legs were also tied together.
He was tied up like a log and casually thrown onto the cold, hard floor of the carriage, making it difficult to even turn over.
This old car was not only dirty, but also extremely cramped. With several grown men crammed in, the air was so foul that it was hard to breathe.
In an attempt to catch her, the car started hastily, the doors weren't even properly closed, and it bumped and jolted its way into the woods by the roadside.
There were many horizontal tree branches outside the car window, lashing against the car body with a crackling sound. Some thick branches even reached into the car and scraped against the people inside.
The men huddled together in the back row grimaced as they were poked by tree branches, and couldn't help but mutter to the men in front:
"Hey bro! Stop the car! These tree branches are scratching me so badly! And let us guys get out and take a break, we've been holding it in for ages! And make sure you close the door properly, this damn door is banging around like crazy, it's so annoying!"
The driver, a skinny man, spat impatiently upon hearing this and said:
"You guys are such a pain! A little piss won't kill you! What Brother Long told us to do is important! If you delay, Brother Long will skin you alive!"
That being said, several burly men muttered under their breath.
He slammed on the brakes while still cursing, and the beat-up van came to a shaky stop on the side of the dirt road in the woods.
Several burly men had been holding it in for a long time, so they jumped off the vehicle one after another, ran to a distance, turned their backs to the vehicle, relieved themselves, and stretched their muscles and bones that had been numb from being squeezed.
The thin driver was left alone in the car. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and leisurely smoked it, seemingly not paying any attention to Zhou Qiqi, who was tied up like a dumpling in the back of the car.
Chance!
Zhou Qiqi's heart pounded, and she forced herself to calm down.
She cautiously raised her head, glanced at the front seat, and confirmed that the driver was smoking and not paying attention to the people behind him.
She immediately began to struggle silently, twisting her body slightly, her hands, which were tied behind her back, rubbing against the ropes, while she tried to hook the handbag that had fallen to the ground not far away with her toes.
It contained her homemade pepper spray for self-defense!
Once you break free of the rope, as long as you get your hands on it, spray it at the driver when he's off guard, and you'll have a chance to escape!
However, the rope was tied so professionally that it hurt her wrists, but she didn't budge.
The handbag seemed to be deliberately working against her; the moment her toes touched the edge, it slipped away again, and she couldn't catch it no matter what she did.
Zhou Qiqi was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, but she was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, a contemptuous sneer came from the front seat.
The skinny driver had turned around at some point, a cigarette dangling from his lips, eyes narrowed, watching her futile efforts with a half-smile, and said:
"Heh! You little wench, you've got some strength! Don't waste your energy!"
He exhaled a smoke ring, his tone utterly mocking, and looked Zhou Qiqi up and down, saying:
"With your skinny arms and legs, you think you can break free of the rope? What, you want to jump up and beat me up and then run away? You really underestimate me, you skinny monkey!"
Zhou Qiqi's heart sank, her movements froze, and she could only glare at him with angry eyes.
The skinny driver, intrigued by her glare, stubbed out his cigarette, sauntered to the back of the truck, squatted down, and with a flirtatious flick of his dirty finger, lifted Zhou Qiqi's chin, saying:
"Oh ho! You've got quite a temper! All those women we encountered when we were fighting over houses before, didn't they all cry and beg for mercy? But you, you don't cry or make a fuss, and you even dare to glare at me? Interesting! You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"
He leaned closer, his small, cloudy eyes gleaming with a nauseating light, and teased:
"Tsk tsk, not only is she hot-tempered, but she's also incredibly pretty! No wonder she can run such a big clothing factory and make so much money! She must have slept with a lot of officials in the city, right? Her skills in serving men must be top-notch, right? How about... I, Skinny Monkey, have a taste?"
As he spoke, he reached out and roughly ripped the dirty rag out of Zhou Qiqi's mouth, and his mouth, which reeked of cigarette smoke and bad breath, was about to move closer to Zhou Qiqi's face!
Zhou Qiqi felt so disgusted that her hair stood on end, and she didn't care whether she would anger the other party.
The moment her mouth was freed, Zhou Qiqi seized the fleeting opportunity and, with all her might, screamed at the top of her lungs:
"Help! Someone help! Tie me up..."
"Waaaaah—!"
Before she could finish her cry for help, the skinny monkey was so terrified by the sudden scream that he grabbed the rag he had just torn off and shoved it back into her mouth, silencing her completely!
Zhou Qiqi choked and coughed violently, almost bringing tears to her eyes.
"Damn it! What are you yelling about?!"
Skinny Monkey was both surprised and angry. He glanced guiltily at his accomplice who was still relieving himself in the distance outside the car, afraid that the commotion would be heard or cause unnecessary trouble.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Zhou Qiqi struggled violently with all her might!
