Chapter 259 The Third Girl
"Ah, Ah Hao!" Compared to Lin Hao, whose mouth was stuffed with a cloth, Zhu Jiayu still had the freedom to speak. In shock, she stuttered and called out Lin Hao's name.
Lin Hao subconsciously looked at the man.
The man paused, glanced at the two of them coldly, and tied Zhu Jiayu and Lin Hao together back to back.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me and Ah Hao here?" Zhu Jiayu asked crying.
"You want to stuff your mouth too?" the man asked expressionlessly. He looked at Zhu Jiayu not as a young girl, but as if he were looking at a stone or a weed.
Zhu Jiayu was frightened by the extremely cold look and dared not say a word.
The cave became quiet for a moment, and one could faintly hear the whistling of the mountain wind and the roar of wild beasts.
In such a deep mountain, once night falls, even if you can escape, there is no way out.
Lin Hao started coughing, but he couldn't make any sound because his mouth was blocked, and the air in his throat was stuck, and he felt like he would suffocate at any time.
Zhu Jiayu forgot her fear for a moment, and with her back to Lin Hao, unable to clearly see her, she asked anxiously, "Ah Hao, what's wrong with you?
She was responded with a muffled cough that sounded increasingly uncomfortable.
Zhu Jiayu was so anxious that she had to ask the man for help: "Please take down the cloth. We promise not to cry or scream. Besides, there are few people here. Even if we scream at the top of our lungs, no one will hear us..."
I don’t know if it was Zhu Jiayu’s pleading that worked, or Lin Hao’s muffled cough that tortured the man’s ears, but he walked over without saying a word and removed the cloth that was stuffing Lin Hao’s mouth.
With his mouth free, Lin Hao took deep breaths and stopped coughing.
"Water—" Her bloodless lips trembled as she looked at the man.
The man glanced at Lin Hao and walked out.
The moment the vines were lifted, the light in the cave suddenly became bright, and then it returned to darkness.
Lin Hao listened attentively, and the light footsteps soon disappeared.
"Ahao, why are you here?" Without the frightening man around, Zhu Jiayu couldn't wait to ask.
"I went to visit my cousin, and this man hid in my carriage and abducted me here..." Lin Hao briefly explained the situation and asked Zhu Jiayu, "Ayu, how about you?"
"I was just like you. I was kidnapped when I was getting in a car and heading home after shopping at a clothing store."
Lin Hao asked carefully and found out that Zhu Jiayu was robbed about an hour after the man left.
"Ah Hao, why did he kidnap us? Has he been targeting us for a long time?"
Lin Hao stared at the cave entrance and shook his head slightly: "I think it's a coincidence."
"coincide?"
"When you called out my name, the man froze for a moment, clearly not prepared for our acquaintance. Besides, neither my visit to my cousin nor your visit to the clothing store were planned in advance. He's not a god, so how could he have kidnapped two long-time targets in such a short time?"
Zhu Jiayu blinked, then suddenly realized, "Are you saying that it's just bad luck for the two of us? This guy only preys on wealthy women, and we just happened to run into him?"
Lin Hao was silent.
In her opinion, Zhu Jiayu must be unlucky, but she might not be so lucky.
Not wanting Zhu Jiayu to let down her guard, she gently reminded him, "Ayu, I don't think this person is looking for money."
Zhu Jiayu was stunned. "If it's not for money? What else could it be? He told my family to come to the ruined temple in the mountains in three days to pay the ransom."
Therefore, although she was afraid, she was not desperate deep down in her heart.
"It's just a feeling. This guy gives me the feeling that he can break someone's neck at any time." It was inconvenient to let Zhu Jiayu know about his guess about the doctor in the clinic, so Lin Hao could only attribute it to his intuition.
Zhu Jiayu believed it immediately.
In her mind, Lin Hao, who was able to help his friend solve such a bad marriage, was a reliable person who would not exaggerate.
This made her even more scared.
"Oh well... when that man comes back with the water, will he...will he attack us?"
"It's hard to say at the moment. In any case, don't provoke him. Let's wait and see what happens."
Lin Hao's voice was relatively calm, but a strong sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
It's not to be discouraged, but it seems that there is really no way out in this desperate situation.
This was different from the time when she deliberately allowed herself to be kidnapped by criminals in order to save her sister. At that time, she had the ability to escape at any time, but now she has become a fish at the mercy of others.
It would be great if Ah Shuo could come.
Even though Lin Hao had never thought of relying on others, in this occasional moment of weakness, he couldn't help but hope that his sweetheart would fall from the sky.
But reason told her that this was unrealistic.
The mountains here are continuous and the ancient trees are towering. Even if dozens or even hundreds of people went into the mountains to search, it would be difficult to find anything in a short time. Moreover, they were in the hands of others and were afraid of the consequences. It was impossible to conduct a large-scale search. Relying on only three or two people, trying to find this place would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Ahao, are you thirsty?" Zhu Jiayu asked after a moment of silence.
For this girl, whose greatest thrill was gossiping with her friends about the embarrassing behavior of the Prince of Pingjia, the current silence made her even more panicked, and she had to say something to feel at ease.
"A little bit, what about you?"
"I'm thirsty." Zhu Jiayu's voice was choked.
"Be patient and wait. That person will need to drink water and eat food." Lin Hao comforted Zhu Jiayu, but he was unsure.
If her intuition was correct, that person's real intention was to kill her, so why would he care whether they were thirsty or hungry.
The two of them waited until it was almost dark.
There was a noise at the entrance of the cave. The two turned their heads and saw the man walking in with something on his shoulder.
Before Lin Hao could see clearly what the man was carrying, he threw it to the ground.
A cry of pain rang out, and the person thrown to the ground was actually a young girl. She seemed to have been unconscious, and the fall woke her up, but she couldn't recognize her current situation for a moment.
"Who are you? Let me tell you, my father is the richest man in Beijing. If you treat me like this, he will definitely not let you go!"
"Let me out! Someone! Help me—"
A large hand reached out and grasped the girl's slender neck. A calm warning sounded, "I don't mind taking a lower ransom."
"You, what do you mean?" The girl looked fierce but was actually weak, and her voice became softer.
The man ignored the girl, tied her up, took out a piece of bread from his arms and ate it silently.
There was no fire in the cave, and everyone was enveloped in a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
The girl couldn't help but beg: "Please let me go, I will ask my father to give you a lot of money..."
The man frowned at the girl, perhaps because she was too noisy or because of something else, and then he walked out.
Without the man present, Zhu Jiayu whispered to the girl tied up elsewhere, "Who are you from? How were you kidnapped?"
The girl glanced at Zhu Jiayu and said, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"
Zhu Jiayu was stunned.
Even after it has come to this, these sisters are still acting so arrogantly?
Lin Hao ignored the conversation between the two and kept his eyes fixed on one place.
