Chapter 351: Is it really haunted?
Xu Mengyun was sitting sideways, and her head bumped directly against Shu Huai's. When she raised her eyes and met his gaze, she quickly turned her head to look at Xu Xiaoliu who was driving.
"Xu Xiaoliu, how do you drive?"
"Miss, the car seems to have a flat tire."
Xu Xiaoliu explained, opened the car door and got out to check.
"What's going on?"
Xu Mengyun opened the car door and got out to check it himself. He turned on the flashlight and squatted down to check. He found that more than one tire was blown out and there were many sharp nails stuck in the tires.
"It seems that someone deliberately put nails on the road." Xu Mengyun said as he took out his cell phone to make a call for someone, but found that there was no signal at all.
"What a broken signal, Shuyue, can you lend me your phone?"
Shu Yue quickly handed her the phone, and when she turned it on, there was still no signal.
"My cell phone has no signal either." Fu Jingshen held up his cell phone, but the signal didn't change at all.
"This ghost story can't be true. It can't be haunted, right?" Shu Ziming pretended to be scared and pulled Shu Huai beside him. Shu Huai couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.
"There are no monsters or demons in this world. It's all caused by humans."
"But it doesn't look like there are people here." Shu Ziming looked around. The road was in a bad state, full of potholes and no one had repaired them. The street lights were still flickering.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed under the street light. He was stunned for a second, thinking he was seeing things, but the white shadow suddenly turned back.
"Oh my god, there really is something dirty." Shu Ziming pointed in that direction. Everyone looked over there, but saw nothing.
"Are you hallucinating?" Xu Mengyun felt that she was confused after drinking. It was also magical that Shu Ziming had no alcohol and yet had hallucinations.
"No, I just saw it. It was right there." Shu Ziming was very sure that what he saw was not an illusion. He even pulled Shu Huai to the street lamp over there to look, but there was indeed nothing when they got there.
"There is no signal on the phone and the car is broken. It looks like someone did it on purpose." Shu Yue held Fu Jingshen's hand, and her palms were sweating unconsciously.
"It feels like someone is watching us," said Fu Jingshen.
"My bag is in the car, I'll take it down." Shu Yue said as she quickly got into the car and took her bag. She opened the zipper and inside were all the self-defense tools she had prepared.
"Miss Xu, this is for you." Shu Yue took a small knife and handed it to Xu Mengyun.
"You've come to Cuiyang quite prepared." Xu Mengyun took the knife and played with it, "This won't scare anyone. You have to take this."
Xu Mengyun asked Xu Xiaoliu to open the trunk, and then she took out several guns from it.
"Use this."
She threw the gun to Shu Yue, who hurriedly stepped forward to take it. The gun was quite heavy, and it hit her hand, making her wrist numb.
"Cui Yang can carry a gun?" Shu Yue was a little shocked.
"No, it's fake. It's enough to intimidate people. It contains pepper spray. If you spray it into the eyes at close range, it can delay your escape."
"Miss Xu looks very experienced." Fu Jingshen also took a fake gun from her.
"I got kidnapped so many times while walking at night when I was a kid that I got used to it." As Xu Mengyun said this, a flashlight suddenly shone towards them.
The light was so dazzling that Shu Yue could not help but close her eyes. When she calmed down, she opened her eyes again. There were more than a dozen people gathered in front of them, some tall, some short, some fat, and some thin. The only thing they had in common was that they were wearing orange helmets and were dirty.
"Quick, that's Xu Mengyun, catch her!"
I don't know who shouted, but they all rushed over.
Xu Mengyun raised the fake gun in his hand and pointed it at them, "Don't come over here, my gun has no eyes. I don't care whoever I hit or where they hit, whether they are still alive or not."
When they saw that she had a gun, they stopped, but only hesitated for a few seconds before rushing forward desperately.
"Don't come over." Seeing them rushing over, Shu Yue quickly raised her fake gun again, and Fu Jingshen also raised his gun.
If you are not afraid of one gun, you will be afraid of three guns.
But those people only hesitated and considered for a moment, and still rushed forward as if they were risking their lives.
"Oh my god, are you serious? This trick has always worked for me." Xu Mengyun didn't expect that they would dare to rush over with guns pointed at them.
Seeing the man rushing towards her, Xu Mengyun aimed a shot at his eyes. When the others saw her pulling the trigger, they were startled and dodged sideways, but they didn't expect that the gun contained only pepper spray.
The man closest to the scene had his eyes sprayed with pepper spray. He covered his eyes and screamed in pain.
When the others discovered that the gun was filled with pepper spray instead of bullets, their fear disappeared instantly.
They all rushed towards Xu Mengyun.
Xu Mengyun was about to run when he saw someone blocking his way.
Shu Huai raised his foot and kicked the man away. He easily knocked down several people in a row.
The boy looked young, but he acted quickly and ruthlessly, so no one dared to move forward for a while.
"You're quite capable, kid." Xu Mengyun poked his head out from behind Shu Huai, "Thank you for protecting me."
Shu Huai walked to Shu Yue with a stern face.
"Don't think too much. I'm just worried that your enemies will hurt my sister and brother." He didn't want to protect Xu Mengyun.
Xu Mengyun shrugged, not caring.
"Tell me, how did you know my whereabouts and why did you arrest me?"
The few people who were knocked down by Shu Huai helped each other to get up. They first glanced at Shu Huai, and when they saw his unfriendly eyes, they immediately lowered their heads.
"Ms. Xu, we are desperate. We have no other choice. We are workers of Xu's construction project. We work very hard every day and don't earn much. Your company has not paid us. We all have to support our families. How can we survive without wages?"
"Yes, my child still has tuition to pay."
Everyone was talking about their own grievances.
Xu Mengyun frowned, "How long has it been since you received your salary?"
"One year, a full year. In the past, we received our salary every three months and we didn't push for it. But now we haven't received our salary for a whole year. We can't live without money."
They groaned.
"Didn't you go to your foreman or leader to talk about this?" Shu Yue couldn't help but ask.
Not paying workers' wages for a year is indeed very unscrupulous.
"We even went on strike, but they didn't do anything. They just said they didn't have the money and needed approval. We went to the company to look for Mr. Xu, but the security guards wouldn't let us in. We were chased away within minutes of making a banner at the door."
They had tried all the methods they could think of, and it was only after they heard the news that Xu Mengyun had returned to Cui Yang that they had no other options left that they thought of kidnapping. They followed Xu Mengyun for a whole night just to have a chance to capture her and ask Xu Si for the wages they deserved.
