There is the sound of water droplets in my ears, and there are echoes in the distance.

There is a faint smell of rust from the tip of the nose, mixed with the rotten smell of wood.The wrists were tightly tied together, pressed under the body.Cold and rough scratched her skin.

Doris' eyelids trembled slightly, and her consciousness gradually returned.

Doris forced herself to calm down after a moment of panic.The throbbing pain in the back of her head made her wake up on the verge of fainting from time to time.She closed her eyes, eased her breathing, and slowly mobilized to release her perception.

She "sees" that she is in a dark room, surrounded by emptiness, not even a stool.There was a skylight in the wall, but no light could be seen.Spiders were weaving webs in the corners of the walls, and rats squeaked faintly from the stinky gutters.

Doris passed her sensory tentacles through the cracks in the corroded wooden door, probed outside, and noticed two people approaching from a distance.

Doris swallowed, and pretended not to wake up, lying motionless in the sewage.

The visitor stopped at the door, and the small window on the wooden door was opened.

An ear-piercing voice came: "Tsk tsk, this woman is really attractive, any 'club' will rush to get it! No wonder that 'Iron King' is so obsessed with it."

Doris's heart skipped a beat, with a tingling pain.

Could it be that Hockley sent someone to tie her up?What is he going to do?

"The club will not offer such a price." Another hoarse old voice said, "After all, it is a defective product."

"Humph! A special hobby of rich people." The man sneered, and then asked, "Why hasn't she woke up yet? I haven't taken any medicine. It stands to reason that I won't be unconscious for so long if I stick it down!"

"Come on! Do you still feel bad for what you said? I don't know what you mean, kid?" The older man sneered, and took out a bunch of keys from his arms, "Don't play too much! Almost Come on, when the commission arrives, are you still worried about having fun?"

With a click, the door lock was unlocked, and the man smiled fiercely, walked in, and closed the door smoothly.

Doris was so angry that her whole body was cold, and she opened her eyes.

"Yo! You've already woken up."

The man took off his tattered coat as he walked, and he grinned wickedly, revealing a mouthful of buck teeth, with black spots on the yellow teeth.

Doris wanted to vomit with nausea, resisting the pain in her wrist and the numbness in her legs, she staggered back.

The man bullied him unceremoniously, and a strong sour smell rushed towards her face. Doris couldn't avoid it, and her tender face was touched by his claws.She was shrouded in his shadow, and couldn't help trembling with fright, only to see his black cloudy eyes getting closer and closer.

Doris was extremely ashamed and angry, and tried her best to kick him in the chest, but her own legs were also numb, and the pain hit her heart.

"Ah—you female cousin!" The man was kicked back a few steps, his heart was ruthless, he grabbed Doris's long hair, and forced her face to face him.

"Hiss!" Doris let out a weak groan, but such a voice made the gangster even more excited, and there was a playful smile in her yellow eyes.

Doris was thrown to the ground violently by him, and her head hit the wall. The severe pain almost made her lose consciousness.In a trance, Doris felt as if she saw a familiar face on the small window of the wooden door.Doris shook her head in bewilderment, and shook off the black hair that hung over her face.

The gangster rushed over with a strange smile, held her shoulders, and reached her neckline.

Fear made her wake up in an instant, and Doris looked over the shoulder of the person on her body - that was clearly Joey Love next to Hockley!

Sorrow and pain hit my heart, and my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand.

'Is that what he intends? '

'What did he take me for? '

Joeylov noticed her attention, without any expression, his eyes were full of cold contempt, turned and left.

With a chill on her shoulders, Doris' coat was brutally torn off, and the sound of sinister laughter and water droplets became more and more blurred in her ears...

Doris' sapphire blue pupils gathered the storm and gradually became dark black.

The revelry in the tavern slowly subsided. The men, women and children had not yet calmed down from the jubilation. They hugged and sat together in twos and threes, drinking and chatting. Everything was so happy and relaxed.

Surrounded by fans, the two musicians jumped off the stage, talking and laughing, and walked towards the window. Suddenly, a short figure rushed towards 1900 like a whirlwind, and bumped into [-]'s thigh.

The pianist was startled and nearly hit, and the violinist grabbed his friend.

"Are you a friend of the sister in the wheelchair?" the boy screamed.

"What?" 1900 was taken aback, looking towards the window——

The small round table was empty, and there was no sign of Doris!

"I saw someone kidnapped her!" said the boy anxiously. "I yelled 'Help!' but no one heard me! Everyone was dancing! I, I didn't dare to catch up... "

1900's eyes went dark, and he almost couldn't stand still: "God! My Doris—boy, can you see who abducted her? Which direction is she going?"

The boy shook his head: "I'm not sure, that person is very unfamiliar to me, and he doesn't look like someone from this area. But, I smell fishy on him."

"It must be people from the port. There are many foreigners and fishermen there. I have heard that the people in the port are complicated." Mike frowned. He searched the crowd and called Jeff.Jeff was puzzled, and after hearing what they said, he was dumbfounded. Such a thing happened in his tavern?

"Wait, I know a painter. He often paints in the port, and he is very familiar with it!" Jeff looked down at the boy, "Little William, do you remember that Jack? Go and call him here!"

"No, I'll go with you." 1900 grabbed the boy's shoulder, took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand, "Don't waste time, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged little William and rushed out.After Mike and Jeff looked at each other, they followed suit.

1900 couldn't imagine what the frail and beautiful Doris was going through now? ——This is almost completely predictable despair!

Who is it?To kidnap such a poor girl?Is it for money?Or for color?Is this a whim, or premeditated?

Question marks filled 1900's mind, but he had to force himself to calm down, otherwise he would miss the opportunity to save Doris!

The four divided into two groups, Mike and Jeff ran to the slums, where fish and dragons were mixed, maybe they could get other news. 1900 and Little William stopped a car, kept urging the driver, and drove to the port.

The port was full of people as always, just like when they came here from the United States, but the mood in 1900 was completely different. He was extremely anxious, his eyes swept across the crowd, and every strange face made him feel like Incomparable fear.

This kind of fear completely surpassed the despair when he learned that the Virginia was about to be blown up.

He felt dizzy, as if every face in front of him was smiling evilly.

Suddenly, 1900 was patted on the shoulder.

"Mr. Boardman, why are you here? Excuse me, but you look very bad."

1900's eyes were blank and he didn't react.The person behind him walked up to him suspiciously and waved his hand.

"Hockley?" The voice squeezed out from between 1900's teeth, "Don't bother me! I have urgent matters and I don't have time to talk to you!"

Hockley frowned, he didn't come here to make trouble on purpose!As soon as he came out of the bank, he saw Mr. Boardman, who had punched him unceremoniously two days ago, standing in the middle of the crowd in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

If it wasn't for Doris' sake, he wouldn't come forward to ask for trouble in a humble and polite manner!

Hockley was stabbed, adjusted his suit unnaturally, and turned to leave.I heard a shout from a distance: "Sir! It's you? The person you're looking for is your sister?"

Hockley stopped, his eyes widened in horror: "Looking for someone? What happened to Doris?"
