On Saturday, the bonfire party would begin at 6.00p.m. in the evening by the river near T University. This river ran through the entire T City, and in the evening, the wind by the bank was refreshing. The trees on both sides of the river were constantly rustling from the wind.

Coincidentally, their entire dorm was included in the list of attendees. Ji Nuan dressed as she usually did, while the other three of them all took some extra care to dress up.

“Wow, I didn’t expect this river to be so beautiful. The lights are a nice touch as well. Let’s take a picture together!” Ling Feifei suggested.

Coincidentally, Ji Nuan had been looking for an opportunity to obtain a photo of Su Xueyi but was unable to do so as she was afraid of scaring the snake away when she touched the grass. Hearing such a suggestion, she immediately agreed.

After taking the photo, Ji Nuan had Ling Feifei send her a copy. She saved it, and after checking that Su Xueyi’s face could be seen clearly, she sent the photo to Feng Ling.

That night at 9.00 p.m.

Mo Jingshen stood in front of the condo near T University. Looking at the tightly locked doors and the layer of dust on the electronic lock, he could confirm that Ji Nuan barely returned here to stay throughout the past two weeks.

He opened the door and entered. The house lights were not turned on, and the sky had already turned dark; only the neon lights outside the window could be seen.

A bonfire party for the school and its students; why was it still ongoing at this time?

He picked up his phone and gave Ji Nuan a call, only to find that her phone had already been switched off.

Mo Jingshen’s brows twitched. His gaze fixed afar on the lights by the river running through T City. He redialed her phone, but her phone remained switched off.

He abruptly turned around to head out. The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Feng Ling appear from the elevators.

“Mr. Mo?” Feng Ling was startled to see him here. “Aren’t you supposed to be in Hai City? When did you arrive?”

Mo Jingshen saw that Feng Ling was not following Ji Nuan and asked coldly, “Where’s Ji Nuan?”

“Mrs. Mo has a bonfire party to attend tonight. Originally, I was going to head there with her, but she took a bus to the riverside with her fellow students. She called me to say that her phone was running out of battery, so I came here to retrieve a power bank for her.”

Mo Jingshen coldly said, “She already turned off her phone.”

“Is it?” Feng Ling was suspicious as she brought her phone out for a look. “Several minutes ago, Mrs. Mo sent me a message. How could she run out of battery so quickly?”

“What did she send you?” Mo Jingshen glanced at her.

Feng Ling paused in her movement. She wanted to say that she had been in a rush and had yet to check it when the phone was abruptly taken away by the man in front of her.

Mo Jingshen saw the message Ji Nuan sent and unlocked the phone. A high-definition image of a group photo was instantly displayed.

Underline it, there were these words: [Feng Ling, do you recognized the girl wearing a white dress?]

Mo Jingshen’s gaze landed on the face of the girl mentioned. Before Feng Ling could even get a clear look of his expression, the man abruptly headed for the elevator. He was surrounded by an ice-cold, gloomy atmosphere. At this moment, the typically cold and indifferent man was frigid cold. His stern eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Feng Ling keenly sensed something from Mo Jingshen’s expression and rushed to follow him.

Ji Nuan was sitting by the riverside, slightly further away from the large crowd. Bai Wei handed a freshly grilled lamb skewer to her.

“Thank you.” Ji Nuan received it and took a bite.

Bai Wei then brought two cans of beer. Ji Nuan was still deliberating whether or not to drink it when coincidentally, Bai Wei received a call at this moment. She left to the side to answer her phone while Ji Nuan considered the can of beer in her hand.

Should she drink some?

Forget it, better not. After all, she had already made a promise to Mo Jingshen.

But she still wished she could drink some.

As she was stuck in her dilemma, Su Xueyi suddenly pressed close to her. “My stomach is feeling unwell. There are too many people by the riverside. I can’t see anything clearly. Are there any public restrooms nearby? Will you go look for one with me?”

Ji Nuan calmly glanced at her. “It’s right there in the forest. Walk toward there, and you’ll find it.”

“It’s too dark in there. Walk with me, I’m scared.” Su Xueyi held her stomach. Her expression was pale, as though her stomach was really uncomfortable.

Ji Nuan glanced at Bai Wei who was receiving a call and at Ling Feifei who was currently having fun within the crowd. In this place, she was most familiar with them. It was true that Su Xueyi would have trouble requesting someone else to accompany her.

Ji Nuan did not enjoy interacting too much with Su Xueyi; she felt that there was something clearly off about this person.

However, they were still considered roommates.

“Let’s go.” Ji Nuan placed the skewer and can of beer down. She stood up and patted off her pants.

The two entered the slightly dark forest. The river lights could not reach them in here, and the road ahead was dark. Ji Nuan said, “My phone is out of battery. Use your phone to illuminate the ground. Otherwise, we won’t be able to see the path ahead clearly.”

“My phone is out of battery as well.” Su Xueyi’s voice was much softer than usual, as though she was forcefully suppressing it.

Ji Nuan thought that her stomach was in pain and did not suspect anything. She reached out to support her from behind. The two continued walking inwards.

Finally, as the noise from the crowd faded and the surroundings were unbelievably dark, Ji Nuan recalled that the public restroom here was supposed to be well-lit. Why were all the lights turned off?

“Ji Nuan.” All of a sudden, Su Xueyi’s voice was heard.

Ji Nuan was still wondering about the lights when she heard Su Xueyi asked softly, “Are you afraid of the dark?”

Ji Nuan wanted to answer but found the situation strange.

Su Xueyi had walked such a long way with her, yet she only asked her this question now?

The light could not have been so coincidentally turned off. Someone must have broken it…

Ji Nuan paused in her footsteps. She was about to turn to look warily at Su Xueyi when she suddenly heard the sound of people approaching. She instinctively tried to shout, but before she could even open her mouth, she was forcefully pressed down. Her nose and lips were instantly covered with a slightly wet towel.

“Uu… you… what are you… uu…”

Surrounded by darkness, she could not see Su Xueyi’s expression, nor could she see the people around her.

A sharp smell entered her nose. Ji Nuan struggled for a moment when she suddenly felt the world spinning. Her senses gradually became numb, and her vision turned dark as she lost consciousness.

In the darkness, she could not find a single thread of light. 0

When Ji Nuan woke up, all she could see was darkness. She struggled with all her might, but as she gradually used up her strength, she could only lay there limply.

She laid on a wide, long chair. Her hands were tied against the back of the chair while her legs were restrained with a rope. No matter how she struggled, she was unable to loosen the ropes. Her lips were also sealed with tape, preventing her from calling for help.

Her surroundings were completely pitch-black. When she woke up, she was completely unable to discern if her transmigration had been a dream

and she was still trapped in that dark and boundless past life of hers. Perhaps, she was still locked in that barren, undeveloped village behind the mountains, waiting to be forcefully sold around by those group of villagers.

The dark was frightening, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.

All of a sudden, loud footsteps could be heard approaching from outside. Ji Nuan subconsciously shut her eyes.

With a creaking sound, the thick and heavy metal door was pushed open.

Two pairs of footsteps approached. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of sweat of unfamiliar men, causing one to feel disgusted. Ji Nuan kept her eyes shut and did not move.

“Did we pour too much drug on that cloth? Why is this little girl still unconscious?”

Who cares, Miss Su only said to bring her here. When the time is right, well send her out. Her life and death mean nothing to us!”

“She’s so pretty. Isn’t it a waste to send her away just like this? Shall we… play a bit first?”

“Play your ass. Miss Su told us to leave T City the moment were done. I suspect that this little girl’s background is not simple!’

“Isn’t she just a student from T University? What sort of background can she have at such a young age?”

“Don’t ask so much! Immediately send her to that bar! If we don’t send her to that place, we won’t be able to obtain even a single cent of that remaining one million yuan we were promised! I don’t even know who was it that leaked the information. There have been so many police cars patrolling this area! Be cleaner when you work! Since she is still unconscious, well send her away

now to save us the trouble!”

At this moment, Ji Nuan abruptly opened her eyes. The two men held a pair of flashlight each in their hands. When they saw Ji Nuan open her eyes, they both appeared to jump in surprise. Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly in discomfort from the light and began releasing whimpering sounds.

“Big brother, is she trying to speak?”

“Uuuu…” Ji Nuan continued making more noises.

Hearing that her voice varied in pitch, as though she was really trying to tell them something, the two men exchanged glances but ultimately chose to ignore her.

She woke up so quickly; so troublesome! Quickly take her away!”

“Uuuu!” Ji Nuan widened her eyes, staring at them. Her hands were restrained, and her sealed

lips prevented her from speaking. She could only stare at them in hope, alternating through the same three pitches.

“Big Brother, she really seems to be trying to say something…”

The other man finally gave Ji Nuan another look. As Ji Nuan was struggling and making noises, he abruptly ripped off the tape on her lips.

A sharp pain came from her lips. Ji Nuan could not pay any attention to that. In such a situation, she could not shout. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble onto herself.

She took a deep breath in and then said, “How much did the person offer you guys? Let me go! I can double the price! Do they still owe you one million yuan? If you let go of me, I can pay you that immediately!” Read more chapter on NovelFull

The moment she finished her words, the man

slapped the tape back on her lips.

“Uu—” Ji Nuan stared at them sharply, repeating the same noises.

“Big brother, this…”

The man’s face had a knife wound scar. He stared at Ji Nuan coldly. You want to keep your life, is it?”

Ji Nuan nodded frantically. Her eyes were sincere. She was certain that if these two men were only working for money, there would be an opportunity for her to turn the situation around.

You have money to pay us?” The man’s expression remained suspicious.

Ji Nuan nodded once more. She released a ‘uu’ sound, in a definitive tone.

The money Miss Su gave us is her own portion. If you wish to buy your life from our hands, it won’t

be as simple as doubling the price” The cold-looking man suddenly gave her a dark, greedy grin. He shifted the glare of the flashlight across Ji Nuan’s body, finally landing on her eyes. This forced her to shut her eyes and shift her head away. He said with a rough voice, “Based on your quality, if we send you to the underground bar that Miss Su directed us to, well definitely be able to obtain at least two million yuan for a night. Afterward, if we sell you onto a smuggling boat to the Philippines, we would be able to obtain another sum of money. If you wish to buy your life from our hands, how much can you offer?”

Ji Nuan’s expression faltered. The two men’s greedy expression was too obvious. She tried her best to maintain her composure, watching them searchingly in hopes of understanding where their limits laid.

“Big brother, she seems to be intentional delaying

for time!”

When the person by the side spoke, that man immediately narrowed his eyes coldly at Ji Nuan. “Don’t think about wasting time to wait for help. Your life lies in our hands right now! My price is five million yuan. Are you giving or not?”

Ji Nuan’s expression paused for only a moment before she nodded. Her gaze was sincere. “En!”

“How will you give it? By chequer This man was much more careful and calm compared to his partner. He did not allow Ji Nuan to shout for help and paid attention to Ji Nuan’s every change in expression. He watched as she shook or nodded her head.

Ji Nuan nodded. “Uu!”

By the side, the other man’s eyes lit up as though he was seeing a god of wealth. The two men exchanged gazes and suddenly hauled Ji Nuan up

from the chair. The moment her hands were released from the rope, the man who was speaking to her immediately brought a blank check out from his pocket.

He forcefully pressed Ji Nuan onto the ground and tugged her hand up, shoving a pen over. If you want to keep your life, sign this check right now! Five hundred million yuan! Both the account holder name and amount! Write them down right now!”

Ji Nuan was held down on the floor. Looking at the blank cheque, she suddenly felt like scolding someone.

These two performed this show so well; they had clearly done this before and were well-versed in the ways of wealthy people. After saying so much, they clearly did not intend on letting her go, but were trying to squeeze more money out from the victim!

They even carried this sort of blank cheque with them at all times!

The opportunity and hope she had were instantly extinguished. She laid stiffly on the ground, unmoving. The pen was held in her hand, yet she firmly refused to write even a single word.

The man in front saw that she had clearly discovered the problem and was refusing to write anything. He stepped on the back of her hand, darkly and coldly warning her, If you don’t wish to die, sign this right now!”
