Chapter 48
Lin Wan stared at the pale ceiling for a long time before finally convincing himself not to think about it any further.
It was a period of time that was shrouded in rumors and inferiority, and it seemed that there would never be a way out.
Just one last day here and then we'll go back to the UK tomorrow.
Chen Yu is living a good life, and there are obvious differences in the areas where they live and their social status.
It's time to say goodbye.
Lin Zhen's business will naturally be managed by Lin Xingguo and others, and there is no need for a useless granddaughter like herself.
There was no point in her staying here, Lin Wan bit her lower lip tightly and thought expressionlessly.
The bedding seemed extremely dry because no one had used it for a long time. Lin Wan half closed her eyes, and sleepiness finally came reluctantly. She was finally able to sleep.
In the hazy state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, her cell phone began to vibrate.
It seemed that she had not set the alarm, so Lin Wan fumbled to pick up her cell phone. She had inserted the old SIM card into the phone yesterday and had not had time to pull it out.
The caller ID on the phone interface is: Grandma.
Lin Wan sat up in the morning light, which enveloped her like a veil. She stared at the phone for a long time, then made up her mind to throw it aside and pretend she hadn't heard it.
According to Tang Wanlin's personality, she called me at this time not because she wanted to comfort Lin Wan, but definitely had other intentions.
Throwing her phone away, Lin Wan continued to sleep soundly. She didn't care about these trivial matters.
This call made her fall into a deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already filled with crimson purple sunset glow.
But Lin Wan did not sleep well. She felt sticky all over and had a lot of bizarre dreams.
She was woken up by Tang Wanlin.
There was no light on in the room, it was completely dark, with only a little light creeping into the room along the window sill.
The shrewd woman rarely wore her luxurious jewelry, dressed in black, and only tied her hair up.
His pupils, lightened by age, stared silently at Lin Wan in the silent darkness, like a carnivore that had identified its prey, assessing the lamb's current condition.
Lin Wan struggled to sit up. Her pajamas were completely soaked with sweat and stuck to her back, which was very unsightly.
For some reason, she felt extremely tired. Even moving her fingertips slightly required a great deal of concentration.
Tang Wanlin stared at the black muzzle of a gun that was slowly moving forward, gradually approaching Lin Wan's forehead.
"You're actually willing to come back?"
Tang Wanlin's voice was still elegant and gentle, but her figure was like a ghost. Her cold fingertips touched Lin Wan's cheek and pinched it with a little force.
That was definitely not a playful encounter between an amiable elder and a younger generation; it was a threat and a teasing with a punitive connotation.
"What youthful skin! I used to have that skin too." He said with emotion.
The pain was instantly transmitted through the nerves, and goose bumps instantly appeared on Lin Wan's back. His eyes trembled as he tried his best to look at Tang Wanlin.
"Ah Zhen, he died because of you. If it weren't for you, my Ah Zhen, why would he have gone to that point?"
Lin Wan thought she had become indifferent to Tang Wanlin's words, but she couldn't help but stiffen when she heard them.
She glared back at Tang Wanlin regardless.
"You know very well that this is not the case. Lin Zhen is dead, and it's all thanks to you!" The girl's eyes flashed with light, like a wolf cub fighting back desperately.
"Heh." Tang Wanlin sneered, loosened her grip, and tapped Lin Wan's cheek with her fingertips.
"A lying child is not a good child. Ah Zhen will never forget you, his daughter."
Tang Wanlin's elegant voice gradually faded into a hysterical tone. Losing her son in her old age was a huge blow to her. Her old eyelids bulged with anger, and she stared at Lin Wan intently.
Lin Wan shrank almost instinctively, lowered his head, and observed Tang Wanlin's expression through his slightly drooping eyelids.
She used to do this often to please Tang Wanlin, but now it feels like a lifetime ago.
Tang Wanlin was looking down at Lin Wan at this moment, with disdain and disgust in her eyes, things she had never concealed.
Lin Wan felt her blood boiling, her nose sore, and she could hardly hold back her tears.
"Go away!" She stood up and pushed Tang Wanlin out the door.
"I don't want to see you anymore, go away!"
Lin Wan was somewhat surprised by Tang Wanlin's obedience, and she pushed her back to the door almost effortlessly.
Before she could feel the secret joy rising in her heart, she was startled by the scene outside the door.
Lin Wan's hand moved away from Tang Wanlin and instead held the door frame tightly, as if grabbing the last support, or in other words - a life-saving straw.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Wan could no longer maintain a steady voice. His voice kept shaking and his fingertips turned white. It seemed that he had used all his strength just to hold on to the door frame.
Outside the door stood a group of bodyguards in black. They were tall and filled the originally spacious corridor, dimming the originally bright lights.
They looked at Lin Wan without any expression.
Tang Wanlin recovered from her previous disadvantage and became calm again.
"Xiao Wan, don't blame grandma."
The next second, Lin Wan's body was lifted up and carried straight downstairs.
Lin Wan was stunned, and after realizing what was happening, he began to struggle desperately.
"Tang Wanlin, what are you doing?" she screamed and began to struggle. She had learned martial arts for so many years, and her body instinctively led her to resist.
After kicking one down, the man quickly got up again. Apart from the extra sweat on his face and the astonishment in his eyes, there seemed to be no change.
Lin Wan had learned martial arts, but it was obvious that she could not defeat the person in front of her.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Wan fled in panic, sweat oozing from his forehead and his hair sticking to his skin, looking extremely miserable.
She didn't even have time to put on her shoes, and she walked barefoot on the wooden floor. Her footsteps were heavy, and her feet hurt from the prolonged collision.
But Lin Wan didn't dare to stop. If she stopped for a moment, the abyss behind her would become impatient and swallow her completely.
"Xiao Wan."
Tang Wanlin had never called Lin Wan's name in such a soft tone.
"Grandma, here to welcome you home." Still in a teasing tone.
Lin Wan was not paying attention and was tripped by someone's outstretched foot, and fell straight to the ground.
The bones hit the ground and it hurt.
Lin Wan immediately covered his knees with his hands, then thought of his current situation. He endured the pain in his knees, rolled over and got up, wanting to continue running forward.
The next second, someone grabbed his hands and feet forcefully.
They were clearly experienced, their movements more powerful and cautious. This time, despite Lin Wan's exhaustive tactics, she couldn't shake the four of them even a little.
With his hands and feet tied up, Lin Wan was stuffed into the back seat of the car.
Lin Wan suddenly felt hopeless. She didn't know where Tang Wanlin was going to take her. The roads in Jiangcheng had been rebuilt several times in the past few years, and the familiar streets had long disappeared.
Through the lapel of the bodyguard beside me, I saw the scene outside the window. It was completely dark outside and the lights next to me were on.
It seems to be heading towards the city center.
The city's large screen advertising lights up in the darkness, illuminating large areas of the road. A muscular, textured back, black hair, and dark eyes.
Lin Wan took a quick glance—it was Chen Yu’s perfume advertisement.
I don’t know if he is still in Jiangcheng now. If he is, I will call him for help. I don’t know if he will come to help me.
The bodyguard next to her obviously noticed her gaze and picked up a black cloth to cover her eyes.
My eyes were instantly enveloped in darkness, but after gradually adjusting to the situation, I could see a faint light.
He had to seek help from others. The current situation was obviously not something Lin Wan could handle alone.
But who should I look for?
Lin Wan felt anxious when she remembered that her cell phone was still on the bed. She had no means of communication in her hands.
You can't shout when getting off the car. Doing so will not help at all except making Tang Wanlin more strict with you.
The car braked suddenly, and the tires made a harsh sound when they rubbed against the ground. Lin Wan's heart instantly rose.
What kind of traffic accident happened?
But now that he was tied up all over, it didn't look like he could survive.
Lin Wan bit her lower lip tightly, trying to remain calm.
What exactly is Tang Wanlin planning to do? She wondered anxiously.
The car was very quiet. A thought quickly flashed through Lin Wan's mind, and Lin Wan suddenly remembered Lin Fulai's words.
"Xiao Wan, A Zhen left all the shares to you."
Originally, Lin Wan didn't care about this sentence. She was not that interested in Lin Zhen's property. If possible, what she wanted was not a share transfer agreement, but a hug from Lin Zhen.
After all, he hadn't hugged himself for a long time.
It seemed like someone was coming over, and the bodyguard next to him straightened his body.
Did Tang Wanlin want his shares? Lin Wan quickly considered the possibility of this.
But if you want the shares, just let her sign directly, why bother taking her away from the villa.
Doubts kept churning in my heart, almost threatening to overflow.
Lin Wan curled up her bound fingers tightly, waiting for the end to come.
The car door was opened, and the dull smell of gasoline unique to underground parking lots came.
Lin Wan heard Tang Wanlin's voice: "Was she cooperative on the way?"
A deep male voice beside Lin Wan replied, "She was memorizing the route along the way. After I blindfolded her, she stopped moving."
"Then we have to take some tranquilizers to prevent her from running away."
"But that medicine is not very good. It seems to have an impact on the brain." The bodyguard next to him muttered.
"And Madam Tang, the room is on the 28th floor, and Miss Lin can't even get there..."
"Shut up, you idiot. Just take the money and do the job." Tang Wanlin was obviously angry and almost roared.
It was obvious that she was also under some kind of high pressure now.
"Besides, someone like Lin Wan, even if you exile her to a deserted island, she will swim back to you."
Lin Wan was pulled forward by her hair, and her scalp felt a sharp pain. Warm breath hit her face.
Her balance was unstable and she almost fell forward.
The bodyguard fell silent instantly.
The figure in front of me left, and more light entered my eyes through the cloth.
Lin Wan was extremely uneasy.
Tang Wanlin was so cruel that she injected such medicine into Lin Wan.
When the cold needle touched her skin, Lin Wan subconsciously shrank back, but someone immediately held her hands down and forced her to lean against the back of the car seat without moving.
As the cold liquid was injected into the body, the strength in the hands and feet gradually dissipated, and even the consciousness gradually became hazy.
She could only perceive the general changes outside.
The body seemed to be lifted up by someone, and took two unsteady steps. With his eyes blindfolded, his body was shaking, and it seemed that his body was becoming lighter and lighter, and gradually rising.
At the moment when Lin Wan was confused and felt that he was about to touch the unreachable clouds.
——Her vision suddenly became pitch black.
Lin Wan was startled, thinking that the drug had affected her eyesight, until the lid was closed. She slowly realized that she was trapped inside the box.
The air in the box gradually became stuffy, the carbon dioxide level gradually increased, and breathing began to become difficult.
She seemed to be placed on a dining cart, and the wheels moved smoothly across the ground, making a slight sound.
Lin Wan listened carefully to the boring voice and gradually felt drowsy.
The oxygen supply continued to decrease, and she began to feel that she could not breathe. Perhaps she would die in such a cowardly way.
Lin Wan's fingertips began to tap the inner wall of the box, hoping to make some noise that the people escorting her would hear.
She didn't know where she was now, nor did she know where she would be sent.
Enduring without hope is extremely painful.
Her fingertips kept tapping on the box, but the force gradually became lighter. She really had no strength left.
The oxygen flowing to the lungs gradually decreased, the darkness in front of my eyes gradually melted away, and light and shadow seemed to be constantly overlapping.
The world around me gradually became calm, until it was silent, so silent that I could hear the sound of my own blood flowing slowly and stagnantly in my ears.
These people don’t know what to do. They didn’t even dig a hole in the box where the people were being transported. Are they planning to suffocate the people to death so that they can get away with it?
Lin Wan sincerely felt that these people were incompetent at work. If she were the boss, she would fire them all.
Hot sweat oozed from his forehead. Up to now, Lin Wan was still wearing pajamas.
The fingertips were already numb, followed by a cold numbness that seeped out from deep in the bone marrow and climbed silently along the spine.
In a trance, Lin Wan felt a light in front of his eyes, which penetrated through the fabric in front of him, followed by the familiar hotel fragrance.
Her lungs were once again filled with air. Lin Wan took deep breaths of the hard-earned air. She could even smell the smell of blood in her throat.
The almost broken train of thought finally managed to continue.
She's in a hotel right now, a hotel in the city center. Why bring her here?
Help her change her clothes, Lin Wan heard the bodyguard say.
A female voice responded softly, saying yes.
The door was closed and the ropes on his body were untied. Lin Wan was about to fight back, but his movements seemed extremely slow and weak.
I could only curse in my heart, is he planning to sell her off to others for profit?
What a good grandmother she is. She sold her granddaughter before her own son's body was even cold.
Lin Wan gritted her teeth and tried hard, but the aftereffects of the drug were so strong that she found it extremely difficult to even move slightly.
She was dressed in an expensive silk nightgown. The woman's movements were very delicate. Not only did she comb her hair, she even applied perfume on her with a thin glass tube.
Lin Wan was thrown into the soft big bed, the cloth wrapped around her exposed skin, which was much more comfortable than being in the box.
But she still couldn't move. Lin Wan hadn't even brushed her teeth or washed her face.
She really couldn't understand what Tang Wanlin was thinking!
The woman who helped Lin Wan change her clothes seemed to have left quickly, and the only sound in the room was Lin Wan's breathing.
She began to move, slowly rubbing her head against the sheets, hoping to use inertia to remove the fabric from her eyes.
Lin Wan's movements were small, but they produced some results. The fabric in front of him began to move.
She was instantly excited and once again mobilized all her strength.
After this attempt, Lin Wan heard the sound of the door opening.
