"Why hasn't she come back yet? It's been over half an hour. Could something have happened?" Xu Qianjiao became increasingly anxious, her expression growing graver. She secretly made up her mind to wait a little longer. If she still hadn't returned, she would bring someone to look for her.
Tick-tock~
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, another ten minutes had passed. Xu Qianjiao finally couldn't sit still anymore. After serving the last customer in her line, she took out a "temporarily suspended service" sign from the drawer and placed it on the table.
She stood up with a jerk, her body swaying slightly from the effort, but her eyes remained resolute. She took a deep breath, as if to draw all her courage into her chest, and then walked towards the war chief's room.
-------------------------------------
Xu Qianjiao was extremely anxious, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. "Huh, why is the office so round?" she thought, striding towards the office.
Just as she was about to reach the office, she passed a dark corner and saw a short and strong man in black clothes with dark eyes flash out from the corner.
Before Xu Qianjiao could react, the man stretched out a large hand with lightning speed and covered her mouth tightly. Because it happened suddenly, Xu Qianjiao was completely unprepared and could only stare at the mysterious man with his face covered in horror.
The mysterious man's palm emitted a pungent smell. Xu Qianjiao felt dizzy and her body involuntarily went limp.
She tried to struggle, but found that her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she was unable to move at all. As the world in front of her eyes gradually became blurry, Xu Qianjiao finally lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
The short and fat man dragged Xu Qianjiao to the corner and turned her head to show the tall man, "Brother, is that her?"
A taller man standing next to the short and fat man looked at Xu Qianjiao's face, sized it up, and nodded, "It's her, take her away."
"good."
-------------------------------------
"Hiss, it hurts~" In the dim room, Xu Qianjiao was tied up and thrown to the ground. She opened her eyes with difficulty and looked around. "What's going on? Am I really being retaliated against?"
She gently twisted her tightly bound wrists, trying to break free from the tight rope, but every tiny movement brought a stinging sensation. "Hiss..." She couldn't help but gasp, cursing inwardly: "This damn rope, why is it tied so tight!"
She stared wide-eyed, carefully observing the rope's structure and winding pattern, trying to find a way to break through. However, no matter from which angle she looked, the rope seemed impenetrable, leaving her feeling extremely frustrated.
Helplessly, she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain while continuing to try various methods to solve this dilemma.
She ran her fingers over the rope, feeling its texture and grain, hoping to find some clue or trick. As time passed, sweat streamed down her forehead, soaking her clothes, but she paid no attention, concentrating on fighting the stubborn rope.
-------------------------------------
Over here, Xu Qianjiao and Liu Fangjie went to the restroom one after another and never came back. The ticket office noticed this and started to talk about it. "Why did Xu Qianjiao and Liu Fangjie take so long in the restroom? Did they fall into the pit?"
"Yeah, it's been over an hour, he should be back by now."
"Hey, don't worry about it. They are both 'royal relatives'. What's wrong with them being lazy?" Sister Chen rolled her eyes and said in a sour tone.
Another woman, Sister Lian, who was on good terms with them, frowned and interrupted her directly, "What do you mean? You start spreading rumors as soon as you open your mouth. What's wrong? Maybe he just asked for leave."
"You should have said something when you asked for leave. How could you just leave without saying anything like you did now?" Sister Chen retorted.
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Sister Lian snorted coldly, "Hmph, you have a really amazing mouth. You can make even the fake ones come true. If I don't tell you, I'll go to the bathroom."
After saying that, he put a 'Out of Service' sign in front of the table and walked out.
She walked out of the ticket office and went to the restroom first. She didn't see Xu Qianjiao and Liu Fangjie. She felt a little worried. "Where did these two go? Why did they suddenly disappear?"
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Tick-tock, she looked up at the clock at the train station. It was almost time to get off work. After thinking it over, she decided to go to the stationmaster's office to explain the situation to him.
The fact that these two people have been missing for an entire afternoon can be a big deal or a small one. If they are skipping work, then at most they will just have their wages deducted, but if they are missing, then that would be a serious matter.
Moreover, many young girls have disappeared in the city in the past few days. If Xu Qianjiao and Liu Fangjie are also missing, it would be safer to call the police immediately.
She walked quickly to the stationmaster's office and stood at the door. She tidied her hair and clothes neatly and knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in." Stationmaster Huang's gentle voice came from the office.
Sister Lian opened the door, walked in quickly, and stood in front of the desk. Stationmaster Huang looked up at her and said, "Sister Lian, what's going on?"
"It's like this, Director Huang, Liu Fangjie and Xu Qianjiao from our hall went to the toilet this afternoon and haven't come back yet. I just went to check and both of them were not there. I heard that young girls are rarely seen in the city recently, so I'm a little worried..." Sister Lian said anxiously.
