Chapter 1436: Call Interrupted
"Yaoyao, why are you calling me so late at night?" Although Li Jinxing was still unaware, he had a bad feeling and immediately asked loudly, "Did something happen?"
"Help me report..." Before Nie Yao could finish her words, she felt her throat suddenly tighten and she subconsciously reached out to struggle.
However, the man in the back seat grabbed her neck with his tie, making it difficult for her to breathe and even unable to speak...
Nie Yao struggled desperately, even kicking the cell phone on the driver's console to the ground, but she was unable to break free from the other party's increasingly powerful hand.
She felt as if she was about to die. At this moment, someone hit her hard on the back of her neck. Her eyes suddenly fell into darkness and she fainted.
Seeing that she finally stopped struggling and leaned motionless in the front seat, the man shook his head and sighed softly. He pushed her body and checked her breathing. Only then did he feel relieved, opened the car door, and carried her down from the front seat.
On the other end of the phone, Li Jinxing heard the sound of something falling in the car. His heart jumped into his throat and he asked loudly, "Yaoyao? Yaoyao? Nie Yao, are you still listening to me?"
But no matter how loudly he called out, Nie Yao didn't respond. He could only hear the sound of the car door closing...
Li Jinxing took a deep breath and immediately called Steve.
After Steve finished his dinner in Nie Yao's room, he returned to his hotel bedroom. After eating, he couldn't fall asleep for a while, and then he received a call from Li Jinxing.
"Hello, Mr. Li, why are you calling so late? It's still dark in China."
Li Jinxing frowned, his voice filled with anxiety: "Steve, where is your senior? Should I ask her to answer the phone?"
"Senior?" Steve raised his eyebrows in surprise, shook his head, and answered honestly, "She's not here with me. Mr. Li, do you have something to say to my senior?"
"Where is she?" Li Jinxing took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Is she not in the hotel?"
"Mr. Li, do you know?" Steve asked in surprise, not realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Li Jinxing's heart sank to the bottom. As expected, he knew that Yaoyao's sudden call must have meant she was in danger...
"Steve, why isn't she at the hotel so late at night?"
"The senior said she might have figured out a way to open the secret room and that we needed to check it out at night, so she took the rest of the archaeological team to the underground palace!"
Steve answered in a low voice, and in order to avoid Li Jinxing worrying, he quickly smiled and comforted: "But don't worry, I just talked to my senior sister on the phone, she has someone with her, she will be fine!"
"She went to the archaeological site late at night, why didn't you follow her?" Li Jinxing asked sternly, his voice unprecedentedly cold.
Steve was also a little confused by Li Jinxing's shouting, and hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "Well, I fell asleep, and the senior didn't wake me up. When I knew I had to rush over, she didn't let me go and asked me to work the night shift the next day..."
When Steve said this, he realized something was wrong and asked quickly, "Wait, Mr. Li, did you say that the senior sister also called you just now?"
"Something's wrong with her. She started talking to me, but she stopped talking before she even finished..."
Li Jinxing's brows knitted tightly together, and Steve hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I'll try calling!"
