He Wenlin took out a lighter and burned off the tape wrapped around her feet. Then, she grabbed the van keys and tiptoed toward the back door.
Although the back door was locked, it was a double door; if you pulled it back, there was a large gap underneath.
Luckily it was an old house. If it were a new house, the doors would be tightly sealed, and there would be no chance at all! (The houses in my hometown when I was a child were like this. The front door was locked, but if you pulled it back a little, there would be a lot of space underneath. My dog, Ah Huang, could easily go in and out through there.)
In the past, He Wenlin might not have been able to squeeze out, but in the past six months, she has worked hard every day and her baby fat has long since disappeared.
I'm as skinny as a stick now, but if I work hard, I'm sure I can get out!
He Wenlin lay on the ground, slowly, little by little, backing away.
Although it was a bit strenuous and the friction made my body ache, compared to my life, this pain was nothing!
After a tremendous amount of effort, thank God, she's out!
He Wenlin didn't dare to waste a second and quickly ran to the front door, where the van was parked!
Just then, she accidentally kicked a beer bottle, making a crisp clanging sound, which startled He Wenlin.
This also woke up the kidnappers who were dozing in the main room. One of the kidnappers ran out to check the situation and saw He Wenlin!
"They've run away!" he shouted!
Startled, He Wenlin quickly got into the bread, opened and closed the door, and started the car in one smooth motion!
Just as that man ran to grab He Wenlin, the car started moving!
He Wenlin reverses and turns with the smoothness of a seasoned driver!
The other two human traffickers were also awakened. When they ran out, they saw that He Wenlin had driven away!
"We can't let her get away! Quickly, ride your bike and chase after her!"
"She can't catch us in her car! We'd better run, or we're doomed!"
"Bullshit! What kind of car can a kid drive? He'll probably crash it in a minute!"
He Wenlin's reversing and turning just now was considered lucky by them!
Who would believe that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child can drive!
Three people were chasing after them on two motorcycles!
Once she got into the van, He Wenlin wasn't afraid anymore. After all, she had been driving for over ten years, so why couldn't she drive a mere van?
If all else fails, just drive your car into them. Do you think their motorcycles can outrun a four-wheeled van?
He was a minor, under the age of sixteen, they were kidnappers, and he was a hostage. He was driving away in the middle of the night and was discovered and chased by them. He "accidentally" ran over and killed them, and he would not be held criminally responsible!
He Wenlin was unfamiliar with the road conditions, and since it was in the countryside, there were no lights and it was very dark, so He Wenlin did not drive fast.
The two motorcycles were driving very fast, and the other party was familiar with the road conditions, so they caught up with He Wenlin in no time. The kidnapper on He Wenlin's left even smashed the car window hard with a hammer!
He Wenlin was startled!
Perhaps the force wasn't strong enough, because the car window wasn't broken!
He Wenlin suddenly braked, and the other rider, not expecting her to brake so suddenly, rode a long way away!
"Damn it!" He Wenlin cursed, glaring fiercely at the two men swinging the hammer.
Then the car restarted, the steering wheel was turned slightly to the left, and it crashed directly into the two men wielding hammers!
The two kidnappers were so frightened that they jumped out of the car and into a nearby field.
In the final crucial moment, He Wenlin quickly turned the steering wheel to the right, and the car continued to move forward!
The two kidnappers in the farmland were quite surprised; this was clearly the skill of an experienced driver!
Then he started cursing again: "Damn it, this kid's ruthless! He actually tried to run us over with his car!"
"No wonder he's a kid who can earn millions; he can drive at such a young age!"
"I thought I was about to make a fortune, but it all fell apart at the last minute!"
The three kidnappers are furious!
Are they running away as hostages?
No, what ran away was their wealth and glory!
"Stop talking nonsense, call Lao Miao right now! It's the middle of the night, and we're far from the city. She doesn't have a cell phone, so we can't contact her family for a while. We still have a chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two kidnappers seemed to see hope again!
The kidnapper with the phone quickly called his accomplice.
Enraged, the man yelled into the phone, "Are you three brainless idiots? You can't even keep an eye on a girl! What good are you? Even pigs are more useful than you! You morons!"
"Stop with the nonsense! There's still time. Let's figure out a way to get the money before they can contact us!"
...
He Wenlin checked the time and it was already 4:20.
He Wenlin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they hadn't chased after her; she was safe now.
Before long, she turned onto the main road, which was much easier and wider to drive on, so He Wenlin sped up.
At 4:50, she saw a light – it was a gas station!
There must be a phone number at the gas station; hope ignited in He Wenlin's heart!
She pulled into the gas station, immediately got out of the car, and said to the staff member, "Sir, do you have a phone here? I'd like to make a call."
The gas station staff were completely stunned when they saw a child get out of the driver's seat.
Is this a dwarf? Or a baby face?
"Uncle, do you have a phone? I'm in a real hurry."
"Oh, they have it at the convenience store. How much more?"
He Wenlin didn't answer him. She rushed into the convenience store, saw the landline, and immediately dialed 110: "This is He Wenlin. I was kidnapped, but I just escaped. I'm currently..."
At this point, He Wenlin also fell silent, as she had no idea where she was.
She looked at the person at the convenience store and asked, "Where is this?"
The people at the convenience store stared at her blankly, momentarily thinking they were hallucinating. Kidnapping? They must have misheard.
"Where is this?" He Wenlin asked again, her voice urgent and her tone unpleasant.
"Yangguping." The staff member finally snapped out of their daze.
After receiving a reply, He Wenlin continued, "I am currently at the Yangguping gas station. The kidnappers have not caught up with me yet. There are three people guarding me, but they have accomplices who are probably monitoring my house from the vicinity."
"Don't be afraid, don't panic. We'll notify the nearest police station to pick you up right away."
"They can't pick me up at the gas station. I'm afraid the kidnappers will chase after me. They have cars. I'll start from here and head towards Shaoxing city. I'll drive a minivan. If I see a police car on the road, I'll stop."
If the kidnappers catch up on their bikes, He Wenlin can't possibly rely on these two complete strangers at the gas station for help.
She only feels at ease when she goes home or stays in crowded places.
After hanging up the phone, He Wenlin quickly called her father, but his phone was busy, and her mother did not answer.
