Having been thirsty for so long, the distilled water, which should have been tasteless, moistened Chen Rou's parched tongue, making her feel incredibly sweet.
There were two more Snickers bars. Chen Rou demonstrated by lying down, picking one up, biting open a corner of the plastic packaging with her teeth, and then sucking out the chocolate and yogurt little by little.
Nie Han followed suit and also picked up a Snickers bar. As soon as she sucked on it, her scalp was pulled painfully, and she trembled from the pain.
"Sister Arou, they should let us go, right?" she asked vaguely.
Although Chen Rou knew all along how dark Hong Kong was before the handover.
However, before handling the Nie family's case, she knew too little about the Hong Kong underworld.
In the late 1980s, Hong Kong was said to have 100,000 gangsters, with gangs and organizations everywhere. Coupled with convenient sea transportation, criminals often traveled between the Philippines, Macau, and Taiwan to commit crimes, making it difficult for the police to solve cases. As a result, the criminal gangs became increasingly lawless.
According to the files from before the time travel, the person responsible for this robbery was a private armed leader named Gui Tou Chang, who was extremely ruthless. In the end, only Nie Zhao managed to escape, while the original owner and Nie Han were killed and buried here.
Knowing she would die, she had to tell the truth, so Chen Rou said, "Ah Han, in my opinion, this is not an ordinary kidnapping, but a premeditated murder, so we... will all die!"
Nie Han was surprised by Chen Rou's coldness and calmness in narrating the story, but after analyzing the situation, she accepted reality, shrugged, and sobbed: "My family can give you money if you want it, why do you have to kill us?"
He murmured sobs, asking himself, "Who is it that wants us to die?"
...
After eating the chocolate, Chen Rou regained much of her strength and began trying to untie the ropes.
A rope made of cable cannot be untied by hand, but you can try to loosen it by hitting it.
The constantly rocking boat acted as a natural aid, and she found the right angle to hit the knot against the iron railing. With each sway of the boat, she repeatedly struck it. After about two hours, she touched it again and found that the knot had loosened considerably.
At this point, she only needed to struggle slightly to untie it.
But Chen Rou did not rush to untie the knots, but remained in the bound position.
Of course she wanted to escape, but she needed to first understand the external environment and how many people and guns the robbery gang had.
Furthermore, when she meets Nie Zhao in the future, he will be a disabled person, and his illness was contracted during this kidnapping.
As a special police officer, Chen Rou's duties will not change even if she travels through time.
She not only wanted to escape herself, but also to rescue the two hostages, Nie Zhao and Nie Han.
Then she would need to know where Nie Zhao was being held and devise a complete escape plan.
After an unknown amount of time, the ship suddenly rocked violently and then came to a sudden stop, indicating that they had reached their destination.
A moment later, the cabin door opened again, and a bald man in a uniform and sunglasses walked in, followed by a one-eyed man and a bearded man, both bowing.
Upon seeing Nie Han covered in blood, the bald man became angry: "You bastards! How did you manage to get Miss Nie like this?"
The two robbers lowered their heads in a huff.
Seeing Chen Rou curled up, the bald man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of lecherous, puffy eyes: "Skin as white as jade and face as beautiful as a flower, Miss Chen Rou, you truly deserve to be a former hot favorite for Miss Hong Kong, you are indeed extraordinary."
She then gave the two robbers a cold look: "Miss Chen, you didn't dare to move, did you?"
The bearded man and the one-eyed man said in unison, "The boss specifically requested it, we dare not!"
The bald man tossed a bunch of keys to a man behind him wearing a black mask and said, "Put them with the boss and lock them up for now. When the boss is done with his work and wants to play, I'll let you know to unlock them and release them."
The man with the black veil stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
One-Eyed Dragon and Beard followed the bald man. The man with the black veil opened the top compartment, and a huge iron hook immediately came over. The iron cage containing the two girls was lifted by the tower crane and hoisted directly out of the cabin and out of the ship.
Chen Rou's heart pounded; being hoisted off the ship was an unexpected advantage.
As evening falls and the sun sets, the entire view of the place becomes visible once the iron cage rises into the air.
This is a port, hidden in a mountain bay.
The port was divided into zones, marked as barracks, work areas, and service areas.
The dock was filled with many huge cargo ships, and a long row of armored vehicles and two tanks were parked on the shore.
Looking down from her vantage point, Chen Rou saw the bald man in sunglasses from earlier. He was leading a group of robbers toward the area marked as a military camp. Although she couldn't see him clearly, if she wasn't mistaken, the person they were escorting was Nie Zhao.
Chen Rou silently noted down everything she saw.
With a clang, the iron cage hit the ground, and the two of them were carried into a large courtyard and placed in the center of the courtyard.
The man wearing a black veil also came and stood guard beside the iron cage.
Chen Rou stared intently at Nie Han until she subconsciously pursed her lips before tilting her head back and saying to the guard in a very soft voice, "Brother, I'm so thirsty!"
The guard's body jolted upon hearing this, but he still gripped his gun tightly and stared straight ahead.
But finally, he slowly turned his head, beckoned with his finger and said, "Come and kiss me. If you kiss me well, I'll give you water to drink."
