When the old woman saw Ruantang, she ran away with her two lame legs, not even caring about the two oranges she had lost.
Liu Xiangyun picked up the oranges and chased after the old woman's back, shouting, "Old..." I'm picking oranges for you.
"Did you kick me so hard earlier? You'll make people run away when they see you."
Ruan Tang shook her head, "It shouldn't be that serious."
Liu Xiangyun casually threw an orange to Ruan Tang, "I'm starving. I'll eat an orange first, and then I'll give the old woman money when I see her later..."
"Is this a fucking orange?"
The orange-yellow oranges outside look shiny, but when you peel them open, the flesh is dry and hard like flocs, with almost no moisture.
"How much is this thing? Isn't this a scam? This old woman actually sells oranges near the guesthouse every day. Does she think we are stupid? Or are we outsiders easy to bully..."
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Liu Xiangyun took the orange from Ruan Tang's hand and peeled it again, but it was still the same, all show and no substance.
"I just said a lot, which one are you referring to?"
Liu Xiangyun repeated it again from memory.
"This old woman sells oranges near the guesthouse every day. Who would buy these oranges?"
Ruan Tang had an idea that flashed across her mind so fast she couldn't grasp it. "Let's go back to the guesthouse and ask if anyone wants to buy some oranges."
People in nearby provinces have already bought train tickets and returned overnight, while people in remote provinces will buy tickets for tomorrow.
Ruan Tang and Liu Xiangyun walked through several buildings and asked questions one by one.
Finally, we went back to Building 12 where they lived to ask the medical staff from Hangzhou Province.
Then I discovered a horrible thing: among the female medical staff, those who were a little bit good-looking had all been sold oranges by the old lady.
Among the four people who disappeared, two bought oranges. The oranges were big, sweet and cheap.
Lin Yunxi also bought oranges in an attempt to ease the conflict between her roommates.
"And Guan Ya, Guan Ya also bought oranges."
Liu Xiangyun added: "But the oranges Guan Ya bought were big and sweet, completely different from the ones today."
"Let's think about it. Is it possible that Guan Ya happened to meet us at that time? If she hadn't met us, would she have been killed as well?"
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
All in all, there must be something fishy going on with this old woman!
Ruan Tang asked Liu Xiangyun to borrow a phone from the staff and call the bureau to report the discovery. She went to the door of the guesthouse to squat in front of the old woman.
The two of them went down the stairs to the first floor.
"careful."
"You should also be careful and don't leave the guesthouse."
Boom!
Liu Xiangyun was the first to step out of the stairwell when he was hit on the head with a stick and was about to fall backwards.
Ruan Tang hurriedly hugged her body, fearing that she would fall again.
Just as he hugged Liu Xiangyun's body, he caught a glimpse of the man swinging the stick again.
Screaming at the top of his lungs: "Murder!"
Taking advantage of the man's moment of distraction, Ruan Tang grabbed his arm and broke it with a snap.
The man endured the pain and cursed: "You bitch! You're looking for death!"
Ruan Tang dragged Liu Xiangyun's body backwards, shouting for help, and was hit on the head with a stick.
Before Ruan Tang fainted, she saw the old woman selling oranges...
Ruan Tang's cries for help spiraled up the spiral staircase. When the medical staff from Hangzhou Province rushed out of the room to look for her, she was gone.
They quickly called the police. Ji Nanfeng and others received the news and rushed over with gloomy faces.
The plainclothes boss was beaten black and blue and told his men to get back to work.
"I live on the second floor. I heard Dean Ruan's cries for help and immediately came out. Because I heard the noise from my room, and the sound echoed in the spiral staircase, I couldn't tell which floor the noise came from. I ran and called for Dean Ruan. I ran to the first and third floors, but didn't see anyone."
Other medical staff said: "We all ran out when we heard the noise, went straight down to the first floor, and chased out the door. It definitely took no more than two minutes. Before the plainclothes officers arrived, we had already guarded the front and back doors of the guesthouse."
Plainclothes officers found the knocked-out waiter at the front desk and sent him to the hospital.
The plainclothes officers searched for the medical staff who had been in the guesthouse during that period, but no one was there to see them. Some people were carrying things and leaving...
Ji Nanfeng gripped the handle of the basket tightly and forced himself to calm down.
"What are Dean Ruan and Assistant Liu doing back at the guesthouse?"
The medical staff hurriedly said, "Come and take the old lady selling oranges at the door..."
Ji Nanfeng and He Kun exchanged a glance, and He Kun ran out, "Give it to me."
Miao Jianye told He Kun to be careful, then turned around and asked Ji Nanfeng what he could do.
"I want the blueprints for the guesthouse, the sooner the better!"
There were so many people living in the guesthouse, and it was not easy for the criminals to run away with the two unconscious women without bumping into them.
Miao Jianye took the order, went back to his room to get two packs of cigarettes, and went to find the leader of the guesthouse.
The plainclothes chief led his men to search each room one by one.
President Liu was attentive, so Ji Nanfeng asked him to follow him to search the area around Building 12.
at this time.
Ruan Tang slowly woke up. She was cautious and didn't dare to open her eyes. She listened carefully to see if there was anyone next to her.
She could feel it. She was leaning against a warm body, breathing evenly. It must be Liu Xiangyun.
After confirming that Liu Xiangyun was fine, Ruan Tang was not in a hurry to open her eyes.
Waited for a long time.
There was a sound of clothes rubbing against her side.
People's hearts are so damn vicious. If she hadn't been so afraid of death that she dared not open her eyes, she would have been killed by now.
After the door opened, I heard voices.
"Mom, stay here for the next few days and don't go out. These foods are enough for you to eat for ten days or half a month. I'll send you news after the storm has passed."
The old woman responded, "This woman is pregnant. Don't worry, son. I will make sure she gives birth to my grandson safely."
…
Ruan Tang opened her eyelids slightly and looked around. In front of her were shelves with wine bottles scattered on them.
This is the wine storage room.
Wine storage rooms are usually underground, and the chilly feeling on my body confirmed that this was the basement.
It's just an abandoned wine cellar.
Ruan Tang caught a glimpse of the pregnant woman the old woman mentioned. Her hands and legs were tied to a pillar, and her eyes were staring blankly at something.
The conversation outside stopped and Ruan Tang closed her eyes again.
"Mom, these two bitches haven't woken up yet, are they dead?"
"If you're dead, you're dead. You're not Huang Xi's daughter. I broke your arm, so it's only right that I give you my life."
The old woman's cold voice made Ruan Tang's feet feel cold. She just hoped that Ji Nanfeng and the others could find this place quickly.
Ruan Tang wasn't sure how long she had been tied up. After not expressing her milk for seven or eight hours, her milk supply was swollen.
She immediately felt a tightness in her chest.
So according to calculation, it is already three or four in the morning.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the old woman fed the pregnant woman breakfast.
After soaking the steamed bun in warm water until it was softened, he stuffed it into the pregnant woman's mouth.
"Eat some hot food while you can. In two days, you won't even have a hot meal."
The woman moved her head and said after a while: "I need to go to the bathroom."
The old woman cursed as she untied the ropes on her feet and dragged her to a corner to deal with her.
While no one was around, Ruan Tang hurried to see his mother Liu Xiangyun.
It had been about ten hours, and Liu Xiangyun still hadn't woken up. Ruan Tang couldn't help but feel her heart sink.
She couldn't wait for Ji Nanfeng and the others to come and rescue her, so she had to save herself.
