There seemed to be a lot of people in the room, and there was a foul, sour smell.
Suddenly, the person next to her moved and accidentally touched Bai Qingyu.
In the darkness, he could only see a ponytail swinging.
The woman smelled quite pleasant, which greatly dispelled the surrounding stench.
After a bout of gagging, Bai Qingyu vaguely saw the woman's head looking around.
A soft sigh escaped her lips, followed by the woman muttering to herself:
"I've been tied up again, so annoying!"
Bai Qingyu's curiosity was instantly piqued. Judging from what this woman said, kidnapping was already commonplace.
Bai Qingyu couldn't help but hiss as she moved her head slightly, which aggravated the wound on the back of her head.
Hearing someone nearby, the woman turned her head immediately, and in the darkness, Bai Qingyu seemed to see her eyes shining brightly.
Sounds gradually came from other places as well, with shouts and cries heard from time to time.
The whole room was noisy, and Bai Qingyu felt her head throbbing even more.
"Why aren't you scared?" Bai Qingyu couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he still spoke, trying to distract himself from the pain in his head.
"I'm used to it," the woman replied nonchalantly, her tone even casual.
"Being kidnapped is fine too. It's like getting out to relax. Otherwise, I'd be driven crazy by the constant annoyance at home," the woman continued.
"I do wish I could go back," Bai Qingyu said with a sigh.
There's a press conference for Wanwan tomorrow, and as the head of the fan club and executive director, how can he not go?
The woman didn't answer, and they remained silent for a few minutes before she continued:
"Are you injured?"
"You can smell it?" Bai Qingyu felt her face was dry and guessed that it was blood that had congealed on it.
"Did you resist when they tied you up?" the woman continued to press.
"You're not going to resist at all?" Bai Qingyu was really curious about what kind of person this was.
Are you suggesting that if someone kidnaps you, you'll obediently follow them?
"What's the use of resisting? It won't change the outcome, and you'll just get beaten up for nothing. You might as well just go along with it. In the end, you'll still be released anyway." The woman's tone was very calm, and it was clear that she had some experience with this kind of thing.
The two chatted for more than half an hour, and Bai Qingyu completely forgot about her injury.
Suddenly, a knocking and banging sound came from outside, and the people inside, tired of crying and shouting, all quieted down.
With a creak, the door to the small house was pushed open from the outside.
The light from outside suddenly streamed in, and against the light, everyone could only see the figure of a tall man.
The man shouted, but it wasn't in Mandarin.
Bai Qingyu was also able to see the woman's face clearly under the light.
She was pretty and cute, and quite young; she looked to be a year or two younger than me.
Although the brand of her clothes was not visible, Bai Qingyu knew they were definitely not cheap.
Recalling what she had just said, Bai Qingyu already had a clue: she was probably also from a prominent family.
However, people like them are usually well protected. It was completely by accident that she got tied up.
What was the purpose of those who kidnapped them?
Bai Qingyu, who was deep in thought, did not notice that as the light shone in, the woman also looked at him.
Mu Bao'er found the man's voice next to her very pleasant in the darkness. She was a sucker for good voices, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to chat with him for so long.
So when the light shone in, Mu Bao'er immediately turned her head to see what he looked like.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; the man's head was covered in congealed blood, while his exposed skin was rather pale.
Her hair wasn't long, but it was all curly, and her clothes were dirty, with even a black footprint on her chest.
He had clearly been kicked.
Mu Bao'er was somewhat disappointed.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the tall man was very proud. He was carrying a large bucket in his right hand, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
The man moved into the house, scanned everyone, and then placed the large bucket on the ground.
He said something, but no one moved.
The man's face showed impatience, and just as he was about to raise the wooden stick in his other hand, a college student-looking boy in the corner spoke up quietly.
"He told us to go line up for food."
He studied a less commonly spoken language and happened to have some exposure to men's language.
Some of the bolder ones tentatively stepped forward, and seeing that the men did not object, the rest of the group began to move.
“Why don’t we charge out together? He’s all alone, but we have more than twenty!” one of the men with a fierce appearance suggested.
However, Bai Qingyu noticed that as soon as the man finished speaking, the man at the door noticed him.
Before anyone could agree, the man at the door let out a cold laugh.
“He can understand Chinese,” the college student translated tremblingly.
He also said that since we were not behaving, dinner would be canceled and we would be punished.
The college student had barely finished speaking when the tall man shouted towards the door.
In an instant, several burly men burst in.
They grabbed the arm of the man who had just made the suggestion and broke it.
Amid the man's cries and pleas, he was led away, and the screams from just a wall away terrified everyone present.
The door was closed again, and the room returned to darkness once more. The man who had just suggested the rebellion never returned.
Bai Qingyu glanced outside when the man opened the door. Although she couldn't see much, she could roughly tell that this was probably not in China.
With such great ability to silently transport so many people from China, Bai Qingyu didn't believe this was just a simple kidnapping and extortion.
The woman next to him seemed to sense it as well, and Bai Qingyu noticed that she moved a little closer to him.
"Something's not right! Why is this play so brutal?" Mu Bao'er frowned and whispered.
Every time she was kidnapped, the kidnappers wanted money, but this time, Mu Bao'er instinctively felt something was wrong.
A long time passed quickly, and everyone's belongings were taken away, so they had no idea what time it was.
My stomach was protesting, my lips were dry and chapped, and every minute was unbearable.
Some people mustered up their courage and tried to pull the door handle, but as expected, they were all locked.
Bai Qingyu's head wound had not been properly treated, and she was now showing signs of fever.
Mu Bao'er felt the temperature of the person next to her getting higher and higher, and the other person's voice getting lower and lower as she talked to him.
Mu Bao'er frowned as she rashly reached out and touched Bai Qingyu's forehead.
She had just seen that Bai Qingyu had a head injury and that his head was covered in blood. If he developed a fever now, it could very well be fatal.
