Chapter 81
Lin Lin's last heart-wrenching sob echoed in the ears of the girl wearing jeans.
She felt so pained.
So regretful!
She regretted not calling the police immediately back then, but instead hesitating and listening to the passersby's words of "righteous scolding, don't meddle in others' affairs", thinking of consulting her best friend for advice.
With tear-filled eyes and trembling hands, the girl quickly dialed the phone: "Hello......"
"Hello, this is 110 Jianghai City police, what's the matter?"
The girl took a deep breath and spoke quickly: "I... I want to report a case. Just now at..."
After the girl finished the call, she remembered Gu Sang's final instructions to her and immediately ran towards the direction of the hotel.
-
"Beep... beep..."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off..."
"Sorry, the number you dialed..."
After Lu Mufei arrived at the agreed meeting place, he began calling Gu Sang's phone.
But strangely! Except for the first call that was directly hung up, the following few calls were met with a message that the phone was switched off.
Given Gu Sang's personality, she wouldn't ignore his calls and be in a bad mood for no reason.
Lu Mufei's heartbeat quickened, and a sense of unease surged within him...
Suddenly!
A trembling, timid voice sounded from behind.
"Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"
Lu Mufei turned around abruptly and saw a girl with an anxious and guilty expression: "Yes, I agreed to meet my friend here, but her phone is now unreachable."
"Have you seen my friend by any chance?"
Lu Mufei showed the girl a photo of Gu Sang on his phone.
The girl heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, "I saw her about twenty minutes ago. Your friend was dragged into a car and taken away by a few people. When she was being abducted, she shouted that those people were criminals who lured her under the guise of dealing with a mistress."
"Are you her boyfriend?"
Suddenly--
Lu Mufei's face turned pale, and fear struck his heart like a bullet.
Mistress...
The recent internet warnings about scams, could they really happen in real life?
He couldn't imagine Gu Sang encountering such an accident and how terrified and panicked she must have been, for an urban legend to actually befall her!
If it were human traffickers, at least someone dared to help!
If it were vicious criminals, people would likely stay away, as the fear of retaliation would outweigh any sympathy.
"Those were scammers! What mistress? My friend would never be a mistress!"
"Do you know what the people who took her away looked like?"
"What kind of car was it? How many people were there? Could you please come with me to the police station or tell me the details?"
"Sorry, I might be too anxious. I hope you can help me. I can't imagine how dangerous her situation is right now..."
Upon hearing Lu Mufei's unwavering trust, the girl's eyes reddened.
He had no doubts!
He firmly believed that the woman wasn't a mistress!
The girl might have been reminded of her helpless best friend. If only she had stayed by Lin Lin's side, believed her, and helped her, would the outcome have been different?
Tears streamed down the girl's face as she nodded, "I saw several people, including a particularly fierce-looking woman, and the car was an old, broken-down van."
"..."
"I've already called the police. I can wait here for them, and I'll tell them all the details of what I saw!"
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Lu Mufei nodded gratefully, then rushed to his car in agitation and dialed the police emergency number.
The car sped forward in pursuit.
Inside the car, Lu Mufei's worried and fearful voice rang out, "The case reported ten minutes ago near the Chufeng Hotel, I have information to provide. The person who was taken away is named Gu Sang, twenty-one years old, at..."
-
"We're almost out of the city. Put the sack over her head. We still have a long way to go."
As these words fell,
Gu Sang immediately felt a sealed bag being put over her head.
Opening her eyes, everything before Gu Sang's eyes was a hazy white. She knew clearly that this meant they were about to enter the deep mountains.
Such thorough preparation!
She was certainly not the only girl abducted and taken to that mountain village!
Gu Sang lowered her eyelids and silently recited in her heart.
Until the very last moment, no one knows whether the outcome will be good or bad.
She placed thirty percent hope in the authorities and seventy percent in herself. If she could endure ancient battlefields, what was there to fear? At worst, she would go out fighting...
Damn these scumbags!
Harming girls, you will be doomed sooner or later!
"Gu Sang, this is Pei Weiqi. Do you need my help?"
Pei Weiqi?
This was Pei Weiqi's voice from the live stream screen.
Upon seeing Gu Sang being falsely accused and taken into the van, Elder Princess knew that this accident was likely premeditated. She immediately summoned all her strategists.
Gu Sang promptly responded, "Help me record the direction and distance to the mountains, and also, is everything alright on your end?"
Pei Weiqi calmly issued orders.
Then she told Gu Sang, "Don't worry about the Plague City. We're doing well. Consort Zhao's death has deterred the people of the capital, and Pei Changying won't be able to attack us for a while, giving me a much-needed respite."
"We're researching cannons and ammunition, and we've made some progress. You don't need to concern yourself with our situation. The most important thing now is you."
"All the strategists are here, and they will record the direction and route for you."
"I know you're very strong and brave, and you'll be safe, but I still want to tell you that although I can't come to your world to rescue you,"
"Gu Sang, I and the tens of thousands of people in the Plague City are with you! Just let us know if you need anything."
Upon hearing Elder Princess's words, a warmth flowed through Gu Sang's heart.
Although she couldn't see the live stream page, she could hear Elder Princess commanding her subordinates in the Plague City, sketching the scenes and routes outside the car window.
Gu Sang also heard all the citizens watching the live stream in the Plague City, tearfully saying to her:
"Immortal, we will always be with you. Don't be afraid." "Elder Princess said that good people will be rewarded. You'll definitely be fine. If you're scared, I'll sing to you, and you won't be afraid anymore."
"Dear sister goddess, we all understand how fearful rumors can be. Baselessly slandering a woman's purity and chastity, accusing her of seducing others, is tantamount to killing her indirectly, no matter the era. From now on, we will not ruin a woman's life with baseless rumors."
"The princess is so kind-hearted, she will surely turn danger into safety."
"Sister, if you cannot see, we will be your eyes. We will help you look ahead on the path, and you will definitely be able to escape."
