Chapter 107 Golden Hook Fishing - Twenty-One Survival
Lin Xingmian shook his slightly dizzy head. The burly man's departing figure gradually disappeared into the grayish-white halo. He suddenly rolled over and stumbled towards the man—
The door slammed shut!
He grabbed at empty air with both hands, then slammed his fists against the iron gate frantically: "Let her go! You guys don't want to live?? You really think I'm so stupid that I didn't take any precautions??"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, "You beasts, you're not allowed to touch her!!"
Young Master Lin's roar filled the entire lower deck of the ship. The burly man paused in his steps as he walked out. He pondered what Lin Xingmian meant by "precautions," but after thinking it over, he realized that the ship had already left the port, and any precautions he might take would be futile.
So no matter how much he threatens or intimidates him, he will no longer take it seriously.
.
In the largest room on the third floor of the ship, with heavy golden curtains, an antique lamp, and a magnificent round bed, the plain-looking Xu Zhiyu slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, looked around, and felt her mind go completely blank.
Suddenly, the doorknob made a sound, and she almost reflexively closed her eyes again, but listened quietly with her ears perked up.
After the door opened, two men entered, one fat and one thin.
The first thing the fat man did upon entering the room was to look at the person on the bed. He then said, "Why is no one watching her in the room? Call the young girl who helped her change her clothes over here to keep an eye on her. Tell me immediately when she wakes up."
The thin man sighed and shook his head: "I understand."
He seemed somewhat worried about the fat man's premature desire to act recklessly, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't celebrating tonight a bit too early? Perhaps we should wait until things are settled..."
The fat man is the ringleader of this kidnapping, known as Brother Hui. The skinny man is his right-hand man. The two of them have gathered some brothers with criminal records and specialize in doing shady things for the wealthy.
This plan had been in the works for two months, mainly involving placing their brothers within the Lin family, which had taken a lot of their effort.
Lin Xingmian took the bait today, and Boss Qin has already transferred two sums of money. Once that kid is dealt with, they will receive the last sum of money. The brothers will take this money and go abroad together, and they will be able to live a life free from worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives!
Hui walked to the bedside, ran his fingers along the sleeping beauty's cheek, and said with a smug smile, "Now that he's in our hands, are you worried he'll grow wings and fly away? Whether we kill him now or tomorrow, what difference will it make?"
The skinny man murmured softly, "I am worried. After all, the Lin family is indeed someone to be wary of. Although the Lin family and the Rong family have not been in frequent contact since Miss Rong left, Lin Xingmian is still the only grandson of the Rong family, and the Rong family's power is not to be underestimated. I still think it would be better to wait until the ship goes a little further away, to be more cautious, to finish the business, get the money, and then we can go abroad to celebrate."
"Scared, scared, scared!" Brother Hui glared at his spineless brother. "Do you know what? You can't make money if you're timid! The reason we're where we are today is all because of my decisiveness! No matter how rich or powerful the Lin family is, do you think they'll give us their money? He Li, He Li, you need to figure out who our real boss is!"
After Hui finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
He patted his brother on the shoulder, glanced at the woman on the bed again, and couldn't help but swallow hard: "Come on, let's pop the champagne as soon as the boat crosses the border! I really like this woman! At first, I said we brothers should all enjoy ourselves, but now I've changed my mind. From now on, she's mine, Xu Hui's woman!!"
The skinny man looked at the woman lying peacefully on the bed, somewhat annoyed: "Logically speaking, the effects of the medicine should have worn off by now. I'm usually pretty accurate at these things, so why isn't she awake yet? Could it be that we've arrived too early?"
Hui didn't think too much about it. He said bluntly, "Everyone's constitution is different. Maybe this woman's health isn't so good. Looks like I'll have to save my energy tonight, otherwise she won't be able to handle a sudden thrust! Hahahaha..."
As Hui Ge spoke, he couldn't help but stare at Xu Zhiyu on the bed for a while. The two men, one fat and one thin, waited around the room for a while but she didn't wake up. Hui Ge had no choice but to go and see how the party preparations were going.
The two left the room arm in arm, bickering and making a ruckus.
After confirming that the two people had left, Xu Zhiyu cautiously opened her eyes a crack, looked around the room, and, to make sure no one was there, immediately sat up and gasped for breath.
She was still in shock, but thankfully she had acted convincingly!
When the man's dirty hands touched her face, she felt disgusted and her whole body broke out in goosebumps. She almost couldn't hold back and was afraid that her secret would be discovered!
She heard their conversation perfectly clearly—oh my god!
It's hard to imagine that she would encounter something like this in her lifetime.
That was so dangerous and terrifying!
So these people kidnapped her to lure Xingmian here?
Is this really not a joke??
Are you going to kill someone?!
Kill, kill Xingmian!?
Recalling what they had said, a chill ran down her spine, and she began to tremble with fear.
What should I do? What should I do?
Xu Zhiyu forced herself to calm down; she absolutely couldn't afford to mess things up at such a crucial moment!
She tried to move her still somewhat weak body out of bed, carefully rummaging through the two bedside tables, her heart pounding with anxiety: her phone... her phone, where is my phone?
The phone couldn't be found after searching the whole house, which means it's still with that fat guy.
Xu Zhiyu's heart sank, her palms were sweating profusely, and she nervously looked around the room. There were murals, a table, a narrow golden shawl on the table, and some tableware.
No, we must find Xingmian first and then work with him to figure out a way to escape!
She was still thinking of ways to escape when the turning of the doorknob startled her!
She quickly got up, grabbed everything on the table and hugged it to her chest, then hid in the bathroom inside the room!
When the bedroom door opened, the little girl who had been assigned to serve Xu Zhiyu turned pale upon seeing that the bed was empty.
She closed the door behind her, then placed the vase full of flowers on the table and nervously called out towards the open bathroom door, "Miss Xu? Miss Xu?"
Are you using the restroom?
Upon hearing that it was a girl, Xu Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that it must be the little girl the man had mentioned earlier, the one who was supposed to be watching her.
Her eyes darted around, and she looked at the long, thin shawl in her hand. She gritted her teeth and replied, "I'm here, I'm in the toilet."
The little girl patted her chest, thinking that the beautiful older sister probably didn't have the guts to run around, and it was just a false alarm.
Ah Ying stood politely behind the bathroom door, recalling the scene of helping Xu Zhiyu take a bath. At that time, seeing her delicate and beautiful face, Ah Ying felt very sorry for her. This was another beautiful young lady who was about to be harmed by the boss.
"I thought you weren't awake yet. The boss asked me to bring in a vase of flowers to freshen the air. Why don't you go to the bathroom first, and I'll go tell the boss you're awake?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyu quickly said, "Wait a minute, I don't know why my legs feel a little weak after I woke up. You've come at just the right time. Could you come in and help me? I can't stand up."
Without any suspicion, Ah Ying wiped her water-drenched hands on her apron and stood at the bathroom door, saying, "Okay, Miss Xu, if you're not feeling well, please don't move. I'll come in now."
“Okay, um…” Ah Yu stammered deliberately, “I’m a little shy, could you close your eyes? My pants aren’t fully on yet…”
Ah Ying smiled and said understandingly, "Okay, okay."
She hadn't expected Ms. Xu to be so shy. If she knew that she was the one who helped her bathe and change clothes, wouldn't she feel even more uncomfortable?
As she had instructed, Ah Ying closed her eyes and slowly entered the bathroom, touching the door frame and walls.
As the woman's shadow on the bathroom floor drew closer, Ayu's heart leaped into her throat, her body tense. She considered several possible scenarios, fearing that Aying was clever.
However, when she walked inside, holding onto the door frame, Ah Yu knew that this person was an honest man.
"Yes, yes, it's over here. Just move a little further in along the wall and you can hook my hand."
She stood by the bathtub, directing, the golden shawl taut in her hand poised to strike.
Ah Ying closed her eyes earnestly and said innocently, "Miss Xu, I didn't look at all. I feel like we're almost there. Should I move forward a little more?"
"Miss Xu?"
"ah!"
Ah Ying screamed and opened her eyes to see a dizzying white expanse!
Seeing that Ah Ying had walked to the edge of the bathtub, Xu Zhiyu decisively used the shawl in her hand to put it around Ah Ying's neck, and then pushed her into the bathtub!
Ah Ying stumbled and fell, her joints aching from hitting the hard bathtub.
"Miss Xu, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhiyu pressed Aying down into the bathtub and swiftly used the shawl around her neck to tightly bind her hands and feet.
Ah Ying felt a tightness and pain in her neck, but it wasn't so bad that she couldn't breathe. It was choking her throat, making it difficult to speak.
After tying her up, Ah Yu was overwhelmed with emotion and sadness. Her eyes were red, and she smashed the plate that had been brought in earlier, holding the sharp part to Ah Ying's delicate face.
"I'm sorry, I have no other choice. I don't want to hurt you, but you definitely won't help me if I don't do this!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Please, have some mercy and tell me where Lin Xingmian is? How can I escape from here?"
Ah Ying's face was pale as she looked at the tears in Xu Zhiyu's eyes, seemingly struggling internally.
"Miss Xu, you can't escape. Don't run. If you run away and get caught, the boss will only treat you more brutally! There are far too many beautiful women like you that the boss has brought back on this ship. Some of them tried to escape, but they all ended up in bad situations!"
She was utterly helpless. "Besides, if you run away, the boss will definitely not let me off the hook. Miss Xu, please have mercy on me..."
"I won't let you get away with this!?" Her temper flared with anger, and she shoved the shards of the plate against the woman's face. "I'll tie you up here, and you'll just say I forced you, that you're one of theirs and they won't do anything to you! Don't push me any further. I'm telling you, I've lost my mind. I can't guarantee I won't do something drastic! You're so young, do you really want to be disfigured??"
"Tell me quickly, where is Lin Xingmian???"
