Is Mr. Ling doing well today?

On an August night, the twilight is already thick.

Somewhere in the level dance hall, people were still buzzing, white, black and yellow people of all colors mixed together, singing, dancing, drinking and having fun.

Music and dancing have always been indispensable on this continent, and late-night dance parties like this are common in towns and cities everywhere.

But the places recommended by Liu were indeed carefully selected by him.

This place is very close to the place where Zara and the mute girl were abducted, and the people nearby have never seen Cen Ning, so no one will recognize her.

It is already the third day of waiting here.

The young informant stayed calmly in the corner of the ballroom, only casually glanced at the bar from time to time.

Cen Ning sat in the most crowded position with plain clothes, drinking a glass of lemon-yellow fruit juice alone.She was wearing a white shirt and a light-colored knee-high chiffon skirt, which covered the entire silver dragon tattoo under the skirt.

The second floor of the ballroom is a hollow corridor, where Liang Zhao and Ling Xuan played billiards.The high position has the advantage of vision, and you can have a panoramic view of the situation below.

Compared with the high-rise buildings and carved beams and painted buildings in the rich area, the event venue here is more friendly and down-to-earth.

Those who come to the ball will not have high requirements for clothing.Viewed from upstairs, you can see the whole piece of refreshing or bright colors, and the atmosphere is more lively when gathered together.

It was earlier at this moment, and the carnival dance in the early morning hadn't started yet, and there was still soothing music on the stereo, which didn't sound too noisy.

Ling Xuan set up a few straight fingers by the pool table, dribbled the club a few times, and hit a pocket ball with moderate force.

There was a sound, neat and crisp.Liang Zhao could hear the bag falling without raising his head.

While observing the angle of the next ball, Ling Xuan glanced at the bar from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem like a wise choice to let Cen Ning be the bait, she is too attractive."

Liang Zhao stood close to the pool table, raised his head and took a sip of white beer, then put the bottle on the side of the table.

Following Ling Xuan's line of sight, one can see strangers gathering around Cen Ning one after another.Just like the previous two days, it was impossible to tell which ones were pure strike-ups and which ones were suspects trying to abduct them with the naked eye, so they could only wait patiently.

Peng——

Ling Xuan made a small mistake under the pole, a solid color ball hit the table next to the mouth of the pocket, and was bounced out.

He hissed somewhat annoyedly, took half a step back and sat on the rest chair, raised his chin to signal, "It's your turn."

During this exchange of positions, from Liang Zhao's position, he could just see a mature figure sitting next to Cen Ning.

This is so far the tenth or tenth person who has stayed in a key position.

The guy looked around at the crowd before sitting down.Liang Zhao lowered his head and wiped the head of the club unhurriedly, then slowly took out a bluetooth headset from his pocket and stuffed it into his ear.

Before entering the door, he hid a tiny monitor in Cen Ning's hairband decoration, and as long as he put on the earphones, he could hear the conversation within a certain range.

When the man spoke to Cen Ning, he spoke English with a strong accent, and he deliberately asked about her situation.

The environment in the ballroom was a bit noisy, and Liang Zhao could only vaguely hear part of it.

[Person who strikes up a conversation: You are from Iceland, so why did you come here?travel? ]

[Cen Ning: Came to visit relatives, and came out while the school was on vacation. ]

[Person who strikes up a conversation: Come to play alone at night?This can be a little dangerous. ]

[Cen Ning: It's okay, my brother works nearby, and he will pick me up after get off work. ]

[Person who strikes up a conversation: Well, but are you an adult and dare to drink by yourself? ]

Then, Cen Ning's light laughter came from the earphones. The 22-year-old foreign language master's degree was coquettish, and he opened his mouth with a lie that was really easy to believe.

[Why not, I will be 18 after tonight. ]

The man who came to strike up a conversation hummed inexplicably, then pretended that the music around him was too loud, leaned over to whisper to Cen Ning's ear.

[Then have a wonderful evening. ]

Ling Xuan, who was staying upstairs, had been paying close attention to the movement below, and even saw the man blocking Cen Ning's sight with his own movements, and throwing a white pill into the drink at hand.

Absent-mindedly, Ling Xuan lost his sense of proportion in his hand, and there was a crisp sound after sliding the lever, which attracted the attention of several people nearby.

Liang Zhao immediately raised his arms around the people around him, turned back with him, and leaned over to aim the ball.

At this moment, the chest and back of the two are close together, and each other's breathing can be heard in the background music.

Liangzhao held the stick, and with Ling Xuan's fingers on the table, he dribbled the stick and hit the ball, while comforting him in a low voice on his cheek: "Don't be nervous, you will be found if you keep watching."

pat-

A suit ball spun into the hole.

Seeing the man who approached him looking up vigilantly, Cen Ning had no choice but to take a sip of the juice that had been added, and then gently put the glass back.

The man who didn't notice anything unusual chatted casually with Cen Ning again, hinting her more than once to drink more, until Cen Ning pretended to be overwhelmed and collapsed on the table.

The voice of a man talking on the phone in a low voice came clearly from the monitor earphones.

[Here is a top-quality mixed-race guy, you drive the car to the door first. ]

The night grew darker and darker.

Cen Ning finally got up from the bar table rubbing his temples, squinting his eyes as if seeing a person turning into several dangling shadows.

While trying to shake her head to wake up, the girl vaguely sent a message to her brothers who were spying on her: "My head is very dizzy."

Liang Zhao let go of Ling Xuan upon hearing the sound, and looked at Liu who was sitting in the corner, who immediately nodded knowingly, got up and left.

"what happened?"

Ling Xuan also noticed that his companion who left the table suddenly looked at Liangzhao with clear eyes, accompanied by the changing colors of the lights above his head.

"The plan has changed. Cen Ning has been drugged, and the specific situation is unclear. Now we must put her safety first, and we cannot use her to take risks. Immediately call Jian Anning, no need to release the line, and directly detain her Take it back for trial."

"understood."

Ling Xuan nodded, took out his phone, and turned to look downstairs.The target man followed behind the staggering Cen Ning, and the two of them were passing through the ballroom and walking towards the door.

"Let's go." Liang Zhao put down the pool cue, threw coins on the table, and went downstairs with Ling Xuan to chase them out.

Leaving the dance hall, the environment instantly became silent with the cool night wind blowing, only the sound of unknown insects in the night remained.

Cen Ning's consciousness had already begun to slacken, and his feet were also weak. He just felt that he was being forcibly pulled towards a remote place.

She struggled to reach out and grab a railing beside her, intentionally piercing the sharp piece of iron into her palm.When she squeezed tightly, the pain in her palm finally woke her up a bit, and she could barely make out the road in front of her and the people around her.

The man didn't see the car driven by his accomplice at the agreed place, impatient and confused, he grabbed her sleeve with one hand and tried to make a call.

Cen Ning took the opportunity to take off his shirt, struggled to run towards the nearby woods, and the man behind him also quickly caught up.

The fallen leaves scattered on the path in the forest were creaked and creaked, and the sound of footsteps following behind was getting closer and closer under the cover of the noise.

Cen Ning's arms were stinging from the messy growth of tree branches, and it seemed that someone called her name in the dark.

But under the influence of the drugs, there was only chaos in her mind until she bumped into someone head-on.

"Why are you running, we are here."

The familiar voice was inexplicably reassuring, and Cen Ning couldn't resist the surging exhaustion any longer, so he threw himself into this man's arms and murmured something.

"What happened tonight... If my brother finds out, he will definitely... Shall vent your anger on you."

Jian Anning laughed happily while listening to the warning sound, rubbed the hair in her arms, and said gently: "Well done, rest assured and sleep."

The man chasing all the way from the rear saw a blurry figure blocking him, took out a weapon from his pocket and waved it twice, making a hoarse warning sound from his throat.

"Give her to me and mind your own business."

As the voice fell, countless incandescent lights suddenly lit up in the darkness, and figures kept flashing out from behind the tree trunks in all directions, and the flashlight reflected the entire forest in white.

A middle-aged man who was tied up was pushed out and fell into the pile of fallen leaves. It was the accomplice on the phone.

Seeing this, the abductor's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat and escape, but just as he turned around, he was surrounded by two people chasing him from behind.

Ling Xuan raised his leg and gave a sharp spinning kick, kicking the man out.

Liang Zhao stood a few steps away with his windbreaker in his pocket, his face indifferent and said: "Thank you for taking our sister home. During this time, she didn't cause you any trouble, right?"

The dark private warehouse was guarded by guards on the third floor and the outer three floors.

The iron gate was also closed, locked from the inside.

Reflecting the dim light, two figures could be seen hanging on a wooden frame by hemp ropes and chains. Both of them were still awake, cursing in a local language that only Jian Anning and Liu could understand.

Ling Xuan sat at the table and supported his chin for a while, only to hear the sentence "Private imprisonment is illegal", and couldn't help but sneer.

Do kidnappers still want human rights?

Liu leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette leisurely, exhaling a thin layer of smoke before opening his mouth.

"Mr. Human Trafficker, please make it clear that no one is illegally imprisoned, but temporarily guarded. We called the police, but the police came slowly in the middle of the night. I was afraid that you would be bored, so I kindly came to chat with you."

Liang Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly took Ling Xuan's mobile phone, found Zara's photo and put it in front of the two of them.

"Where is the girl"

"I haven't seen her!"

"Oh... I haven't seen it before." Jian Anning smiled slyly while lying on the handrail of the stairs, "It seems that we have to follow the procedure."

He slightly raised his chin as a signal, and one of the subordinates standing beside him with his hands behind his back understood, turned around and brought a bag over, and opened it violently, all kinds of surgical instruments that were shining with cold light were scattered all over the floor.

Jian Anning walked over, gently touched the medical forceps on the ground with the tip of her shoe, and spoke in a swaying tone.

"First of all, I admit that I am a medical lunatic, and I love to study human organs, especially when it is a living body. Secondly, I am impatient. So, this is the last time I ask you questions..."

"Where-is-she?"

The ropes on the ceiling rattled and rattled, and one of the traffickers shouted with red eyes: "We're not lying! We really haven't seen her! This is the first thing we did. You can't torture yourself."

When the two refused to admit it, Liang Zhao tilted his head, and seeing Ling Xuan who couldn't help but step forward from the corner of his eye, he raised his arm to stop him.

"Don't touch your hands."

This kind of person is not worth it.

While the atmosphere was stalemate, there was the sound of light footsteps coming from the stairs.

Cen Ning, who had just taken a nap, had almost recovered, and was rubbing his long, fluffy, curly hair with bandaged hands.

As she walked slowly, she yawned and said lazily, "What private torture?"

Cen Ning stopped walking all the way in front of the two hanged people, looking up and down at the man who drugged her.

Suddenly, without warning, he kicked him in the chest, and he immediately let out a scream.Then he picked up the infusion pole beside the table, and pumped it all over the man's head and shoulders, splashing blood foam all over the nearest face of Jian Anning.

After pumping him half to death, she stopped, rearranged the bandages on her palms, grabbed the dangling chains on the top of the trafficker's head, fiddled with his bloody hair, and smiled extremely beautifully.

"I just have a strong sense of self-defense since I was a child. You said you want to kidnap me, can I not fight back? Even if you accidentally kill me, it is possible."

The man caught by Cen Ning almost couldn't lift up his breath, and spurted a stream of blood from his nasal cavity.

Jian Anning raised her arms in disgust, rubbed the stain on her face with the back of her hand, suddenly remembered how Cen Qi looked when he demolished his building, and laughed and cursed, "Old crazy critic, little crazy critic".

Liu Yi has never been able to stay up late. After yawning a few times, he couldn't keep his eyes open. He waved his hands and said, "I can't do it anymore. I'm too old to go to bed. You can continue to make trouble. These two people will be handed over to the police later." In the bureau, remember to hold your breath."

Liang Zhao, who remained calm for a while, finally sighed softly, took the infusion pole from Cen Ning's hand and threw it aside, telling the little girl to pay attention to maintaining her image.

Then he sat gracefully on the sofa beside Ling Xuan, while smoothing the wrinkles on his trouser legs, he spoke without emotion.

"You have also seen that there are really not many people with normal brains here. The night is still very long, so don't take chances, let's talk."

"I told you, I haven't seen her..."

Another abduction dealer heard the sound of his accomplice's nosebleeds falling drop by drop to the ground, and gradually collapsed: "There are a lot of people doing this job in this area. We just sent a girl from G City when we first entered the industry."

"Where are you going to send it?" Liang Zhao's indifferent voice was not disturbed at all.

"We only abduct adult ones, young ones with good quality can be sent to Port J, I heard that the price is very high, I don't know the details, I really don't know..."

Liang Zhao raised his eyes slowly, and exchanged a glance with Ling Xuan.

"tired?"

Seeing the people around him rubbing their brows and nodding wearily, Liang Zhao stood up and sent him back to rest.The two pushed the door open and blended into the quiet night, no longer caring about the noise behind them.
