Chapter 218 If they don't untie him, they'll carry him onto the car.
The taxi changed vehicles several times in areas without surveillance cameras, and finally boarded a small plane in an open area.
The plane didn't land until dark.
When Su Xi was pulled out, even though her eyes were covered, she could tell that it was already completely dark. She was standing on sand.
There wasn't a breath of sea breeze, and the sweltering heat made her feel as if she were in a vast, desolate desert.
The hood was suddenly ripped off, and she was indeed in the desert, with three men staring at her with ill intent.
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat. Since they dared to let her see their true colors, it meant they had no intention of leaving any survivors.
Sure enough, two people had already taken out shovels and other tools and started digging a hole.
The man in the lead crossed his legs and looked down at the woman whose hands and feet were tied, his eyes slowly turning lewd.
"Don't worry, even if you're buried in this godforsaken place and turn into bones, no one will find you."
"It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl has passed away so young. I should take better care of you, brother."
Seeing the man get up and walk towards her with a lewd look in his eyes, Su Xi took small, hesitant steps, but lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the desert provided a buffer, and I experienced no discomfort.
"Sir, burying someone here might indeed leave no trace for decades, but don't forget, I'm not an unregistered person. I'm Feng Jinchen's wife, and Feng Jue is my uncle."
"Neither the Feng Group nor the Tianjue Group are fools. You kidnapped me in front of my best friend; do you think they won't find their way here?"
"So what if you find this place? By then you'll already be a corpse."
"Well said, but corpses can talk. If you dare touch me, and leave behind any evidence, what do you think your fate will be?"
The man's hand was almost touching the woman's chest when he heard those words. His eyes trembled involuntarily, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.
"You really are sharp-tongued and ungrateful. I was going to give you a quick death, but now don't blame me for burying you alive."
He then looked at the two men who were digging the hole and said, "Dig deeper. I'm going to bury this woman alive. If any wild dogs dig her out, I'll kill you both."
"Yes, don't worry, boss."
"We've buried the dead before, but this is the first time we've buried a living person. Today was exciting, hahaha."
"Sir, I have no grudge against you. You must be acting under someone's orders, right?"
The man glanced at her. "What are you trying to say?"
Instead of answering, Su Xi asked, "Do you think I can run away? Or that I can climb out of this pit on my own?"
"nonsense."
"Since you think I'm doomed, why can't you reveal who's behind it all? No one who's alive has ever truly died; perhaps there really is an afterlife. If we go to the underworld, I won't know who's behind it all, so I'll only be able to name the three of you. You've committed murder, so you'll naturally be punished."
If you suffer misfortune or hardship and want to seek revenge, you'll have to come down to me.
The man's pupils flickered. "That bitch's talk is pretty convincing. Fine, the person who ordered us is Huo Qianfan, the only son of the Huo Group."
We knew we were dealing with the Feng family, and we didn't want to do it, but we were already in a bind. We were just doing our job, paid to solve their problems. If you want revenge or to take someone's life, go find Huo Qianfan; it has nothing to do with us.”
The man had completely lost his lustful desires and only wanted to bury Su Xi as soon as possible so he could go back and report.
So they didn't notice at all that there was a square thing inside Su Xi's clothes that was shimmering slightly, recording something.
And the recording was transmitted in real time.
"As far as I remember, I haven't offended Huo Qianfan. Just because you say it's him doesn't mean it is. Maybe someone instructed you to make you falsely accuse him. Or maybe it was all your idea—to kill him first and then demand ransom from the Feng family, isn't it?"
"You really have a wild imagination. I still have evidence that Huo Qianfan instructed me. You can listen to it if you don't believe me."
The man immediately activated the voice chat, and Huo Qianfan's voice came through clearly, "A bunch of idiots, why aren't you making a move yet?"
“Mr. Huo, Su Xi has been staying in the hospital, and Feng Jue is with her from time to time. We really haven’t found a suitable opportunity.”
"Useless! If you're useless, you're useless. What excuses are you making? I'm telling you, Su Xi will be going to the police station soon. If you still don't seize the opportunity, you can expect to be shot."
"Okay, Mr. Huo, we'll get ready right away. We definitely won't let you down."
After listening to the recording, Su Xi understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't afraid of thieves stealing from her, but rather of thieves eyeing her. The reason she risked her life was to arrest every single person who was against her.
I got what I wanted. Now it's just a matter of stalling for time.
“Recordings can be faked. Although their authenticity can be verified, I'm afraid I won’t have that opportunity. I just want to know why Huo Qianfan treated me like this? I clearly didn’t offend him. Or maybe you guys faked the recording.”
The man was utterly speechless. "My dear lady, what exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything in particular, it's just that this recording alone is not enough to convince me."
After spinning around a few times, the man looked defeated. "Fine, since you're going to die anyway, let's consider this a good deed and fulfill your dying wish. But you have to promise me that if there really are ghosts, you're not allowed to come looking for me if you become a female ghost."
"Then it depends on your sincerity."
“Okay,” the man immediately called Huo Qianfan.
"Idiot, what happened again? Did you mess up again?"
No, no.
"Then spit it out. Be careful, or someone might track you down by your signal."
The man looked at Su Xi, unsure how to get information out of her.
Su Xi's panicked and confused voice came through, "Huo Qianfan, what did I do to offend you? Why are you doing this to me? What grudge do you hold against me that you're only satisfied when I'm dead?"
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Huo Qianfan finally spoke, "Aren't we going to shut this woman up? Forget it, no one will hear us in this desolate place. Su Xi, just accept your fate, no one will save you even if you scream your lungs out."
You haven't offended me. In fact, if you had appeared before I fell in love with Bai Luwei, I might have fallen in love with you and cherished you.
"It's all Luvia's fault for hating you, so you have to die. After you die, do some good deeds, and maybe you'll meet me sooner in your next life, and we can be husband and wife. Hahaha…"
The man looked at Su Xi with his eyes, asking if it was okay, but Su Xi kept shaking her head until she saw someone sneaking over.
Su Xi nodded.
"Mr. Huo, there's no need to stoop to the level of a woman. I'll send her on her way." The man hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when he was most relaxed, bang! He was struck on the back of the neck with a chop, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground.
The two men who had dug the pit were already standing inside. The pit was at least two meters high, and they were struggling to throw soil up. So they didn't hear anything unusual happening outside.
The sand was prone to collapse. The two men thought they had reached the bottom and were about to climb out when several heads appeared at the pit entrance.
Upon suddenly seeing several unfamiliar people, both of them had their pupils shrink.
"Who...who are you?"
"The ones who will send you to the Western Paradise." The moment the words left his mouth, a person was thrown down.
Upon seeing that it was their unconscious leader, the two men's faces turned extremely pale, their eyes filled with terror. They stammered for a long time before finally finding their voices, "Murder is illegal, you'll be shot."
"So you knew it was illegal. Don't worry, this place is the middle of nowhere. Even if you turn to dust, no one will find you. You can't be convicted if your body isn't found, so you don't need to worry about us. You should worry about yourselves instead, hahaha."
The two men tried to climb up by stepping on the eldest, but with a snap, a perforated metal sheet came on and was covered by something on top, which they couldn't push off no matter what they did.
"Enjoy the graves you dug yourselves."
As the voices faded into the distance, the two huddled together, trembling with fear. "Come back! Who are you people? Are you double-crossing us? Don't you care about the rules of the underworld? We won't pursue this matter, just let us out... Come back! Please come back, I beg you..."
Hearing the two robbers go from being stubborn to pleading, clearly on the verge of collapse, Liu Cheng spat out a curse, "They brought it on themselves, they deserve it."
Seeing that the big boss didn't untie Su Xi, he said a few words to her, and finally picked her up, threw her into the car, and closed the door.
Liu Cheng pursed his lips, ordered his men to keep an eye on the kidnappers, and then called the police.
Inside the car, the air was fresh and the temperature was just right, much better than the sweltering desert outside.
It would be even better if their hands and feet weren't tied with ropes.
Su Xi glared at the handsome man. "Uncle, no matter what, untie me first."
"Untie me? Isn't this what you wanted?" The man was clearly angry, his whole demeanor cold and unapproachable, radiating a dangerous and oppressive aura.
Su Xi wriggled like a giant green caterpillar, unable to stand up, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Uncle, I was wrong. Please untie me. This is so uncomfortable. I feel like throwing up."
Feng Jue looked at Su Xi and indeed noticed that the woman's brows were furrowed and she seemed uncomfortable. He sighed and helped her sit up.
Then he squatted down and untied the rope from the woman's ankles.
Su Xi hurriedly turned and reached out her hand, but the man curled his lips into a smile, "Tie me up. Take photos for the police as evidence. Teach you a lesson too."
Su Xi was dumbfounded. Who saves someone only halfway? What did it mean by not untying her hands?
She pursed her lips; her feet were free, and it was indeed much better than before.
After finding a comfortable position to sit down, Su Xi realized that the man was staring at her intently.
There was an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
She used to be able to be easily subdued by men even when she was perfectly healthy, let alone now, with her hands tied behind her back.
Sure enough, the man easily lifted her up and sat her on his lap.
He slapped her on the butt.
"Do you really know you were wrong? What did you do wrong? Tell me."
Su Xi's face instantly turned bright red. If her hands were free, she would definitely have slapped him.
