Several rooms had their doors closed. Smiling Tiger pointed to one of the doors and said, "You can rest here tonight!"
He Jiale's heart tightened: "Can't we go home tonight? Our families will worry!"
The smiling tiger had a friendly smile on his face: "The studio is upstairs or downstairs, it's so convenient for you to live here! You can go to work without leaving home, and you won't have to worry about food or drink!"
He Jiale was just saying that; the guy had just killed and threatened people in front of them, just to make an example of them.
After saying that, Smiling Tiger led them to the second floor. As soon as they got upstairs, they saw several bodyguards guarding the door. Inside the door, there were many people in white coats working busily.
After walking around the second floor, I found that there were one laboratory after another, and each laboratory had at least four people, so there were forty or fifty people on the second floor alone.
The smiling tiger continued leading them upstairs, looking at the third and fourth floors, before finally pointing to an empty room on the fourth floor: "This laboratory is what I prepared for the three of you!"
Xiao Gengwu took a look and found the infrared analyzer he wanted. He had seen before that this instrument was not cheap, starting at least at 500,000 yuan, and the key point was that it was not available for purchase.
But how did this person know what he needed when he bought it?
After looking at the second, third, and fourth floors, the smiling tiger chuckled again: "Shall we go eat now? Or should I take you to the basement first? I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after seeing it!"
Xiao Gengwu seemed to have thought of something, but still nodded: "Let's go take a look first!" Anyway, he'd probably throw up the food he ate, so there was no need to bother him!
Upon reaching the basement, even before entering, one could smell a very unpleasant odor. Inside, just like above, there were individual cubicles, but instead of walls, they were separated by iron cages.
Neither He Jiale nor Yao Tongxu had ever seen anything like this before. The two of them held onto Xiao Gengwu tightly, and Xiao Gengwu patted them reassuringly.
Their hearts settled down. In any case, this person clearly wanted them to do the work, and since they hadn't been completely drained of their labor yet, he probably wouldn't do anything to them.
Taking them around to see things now is nothing more than coercion and enticement, so let them just watch!
The visibility here is quite poor, and the people inside the iron cages look like dark figures. Upon closer inspection, the black stuff on their bodies appears to be dried blood.
Several people were lying in the haystack. Judging from their barely visible chests, they must have been beaten badly and were probably about to die!
The smiling tiger said to them, "We told them to work properly for me, but they refused. So we had to use torture on them. You three shouldn't be so ungrateful, right?"
Xiao Gengwu remained silent, as did He Jiale and Yao Tongxu. There were at least 20 iron cages, most of which housed one person, but some housed two people.
The two people living in the room are very close together, probably a couple or a parent-child relationship!
When we reached the last iron cage, we found several corpses piled inside. They looked like they had died recently, and their faces showed pain and fear.
Xiao Gengwu closed his eyes, his hands in his pockets, clenched into fists. He wanted to punch him, but he couldn't!
Seeing that Xiao Gengwu was no longer indifferent, the Smiling Tiger smiled with satisfaction: "Come on, let's go upstairs to eat!" After saying that, the Smiling Tiger walked forward on his own!
This time when they came downstairs, they were accompanied by only two bodyguards, one at the front and one at the back. Xiao Gengwu tugged at He Jiale and then at Yao Tongxu, quickly making another beheading gesture.
After the three of them assigned their targets, Xiao Gengwu quickly walked to the side of Smiling Tiger, picked up a handkerchief as if to wipe his face, but instead waved it towards Smiling Tiger.
The smiling tiger turned back with a smile, wanting to see what he was going to do, and then he felt dizzy. He reached for his pistol with trembling hands, but then he fainted.
At the same time, He Jiale attacked the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard had a gun, and he couldn't let him have a chance to get his hands on it!
By the time the bodyguard in front reacted, Smiling Tiger had already fallen to the ground. He tried to draw his gun, but Xiao Gengwu held his hand down firmly. He tried to kick, but Yao Tongxu kicked him first.
The two men were kicked several times by the bodyguard before they finally subdued him. Turning around, they saw that He Jiale had also managed to handle the situation, so they rushed over to close and lock the door.
They observed it as soon as they came in, and it turned out that the door could be closed from the inside. Perhaps they did this to prepare it as an air-raid shelter!
The three searched everywhere but couldn't find any rope. Later, they found several thick ropes on a torture device, which were just enough to tie the three of them up.
To keep them from making a sound, they took off their shoes and stuffed their socks into their mouths!
As for whether it smelled bad or not, no one cared. They looked at the people inside the iron cage and saw that everyone who could stand up had stood up.
Those who couldn't stand up sat up, while two others, presumably truly unable to stand or sit, remained lying down.
Xiao Gengwu looked at them and asked, "Who are you all? When were you captured?"
But no one answered them. They had all been tricked into coming here; some were tricked by fellow villagers, and some were tricked by colleagues.
Some were even tricked into coming here by their own relatives, who sold them here simply because this smiling tiger offered them a satisfactory price.
Why should three strangers trust each other and reveal their secrets to each other?
Seeing that no one answered him, Xiao Gengwu found a cleaner spot, grabbed a bundle of grass, and threw it on the ground: "Let's sit down and conserve our strength!"
He Jiale twirled the gun they had found: "Brother Xiao and his men have guns, and there are a lot of people outside. What should we do? How much medicine do you have left?"
Xiao Gengwu pointed to the bottle around his neck: "That's all. You guys have some too, right? I saw Tongtong give you some before!"
The two dared not look at Xiao Gengwu, who immediately understood: "None of you have it with you?"
"Who would carry something like that around when they go out?" He Jiale felt that with his fighting skills, there was really no need for him to use such a thing, so of course he wouldn't carry it!
He himself wasn't bringing any, and neither were the two Meng Bulijiao's men. Xiao Gengwu sighed, "I have absolutely no way to drug everyone here!"
Both of them were filled with regret: "If only we had brought them with us! What are we going to do now? They seem to be very strong. If it were just me, I would have fought them."
Xiao Gengwu is someone his father has always emphasized protecting, so he dares not act recklessly, or his father will beat him to death.
He Jiale suddenly remembered something: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, didn't you have bodyguards? Two of them, right? Where are the others?"
Even Yao Tongxu looked at Xiao Gengwu with bright eyes!
