Chapter 249 Underground Cage
Chapter 249 Underground Cage
McQueen and his two companions searched the area and asked around with the photos, but they couldn't find any useful information.
Kane was already in deep self-blame, his lips were so dry and peeling that he refused to drink a sip of water. Mrs. Seaforth was not much better, she was obviously at a loss, her steps began to stagger, as if she would faint at any time, but even so she kept looking and asking.
McQueen forcefully pulled the two men to sit at the nearest stall and poured them each a glass of water.
"You guys are not doing this right. You've ruined yourself before you even found Wei'er. The other party acted so cleanly and neatly, and was able to do it without any loopholes. This means it was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment act. It must be a habitual criminal organized by some organization. We can't find out by just the three of us asking like this."
Mrs. Seaforth hung her head and cried helplessly: "What should I do? Wei'er has been missing for half an hour. In such a long time, who knows where she was taken... I really regret it! Why didn't I take her to buy it..."
Kane also wiped his tears and apologized with sobs: "S-sorry, mom... I didn't take good care of my sister."
Mrs. Seaforth wept at her desk.
McQueen sighed deeply. Although he looked the calmest among the three, his furrowed brow and the hand that kept stroking his brow stud still exposed his true mood.
A few minutes later, Sifos and his men came over.
After the joint persuasion of the two grown men, Mrs. Seaforth and Kane finally agreed to go back to the hotel to rest.
"You must bring our daughter back!" Mrs. Sivers sat in the car, holding her husband's hand tightly, and pleaded earnestly.
Watching his wife and children leave, the last trace of tenderness disappeared from Sivers' face. He turned and looked for the last location shown by his daughter. McQueen caught up with him.
The other mermaid soldiers divided the work among themselves. Some went to question the snack stand owners, some checked the surveillance footage, and some looked for clues nearby.
They all knew the importance of time. One second later would greatly increase the difficulty of the search.
On the other side, when everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Xu Weiwei finally woke up.
She never expected that she would be kidnapped in broad daylight and in public. When the big hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth and nose, she didn't even have a chance to struggle.
In just two or three seconds, she felt dizzy and then completely lost consciousness.
After waking up, Xu Weiwei began to feel nauseous, but she didn't dare to move, and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly - because she was now in a big sack, and the kidnapper was carrying it on his shoulders.
Xu Weiwei could feel the rise and fall of the shoulder muscles of the person carrying her as he walked. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, her heart was still beating nervously, and the sudden voice beside her startled her.
"I've had a good harvest these past two days, and I even came across a rare find today."
"Hmph, that's not the case. It's worth the trip today!"
The man seemed to be talking in Xu Weiwei's ear, and while he was talking he reached out and patted Xu Weiwei on the back. This attitude, as if he was treating someone like merchandise, frightened Xu Weiwei.
Because this kind of nonchalant and sophisticated attitude is only possessed by veterans.
Can mom and dad find her? What do these people want? Ransom or organs? Or human trafficking?
Xu Weiwei thought about all the possibilities and had already prepared for the worst. Asking for a ransom was the best outcome, because she would be able to go back sooner or later, and the kidnappers would not go too far if they wanted something. Human trafficking was also okay, at least her life would not be in danger, and as long as she was alive, there was hope.
I'm afraid they're after her parts. She'll be torn into pieces, and it'll be ok if they can't find her. But if they do find her... I can't imagine how her family will feel when they see her.
Thinking of this, Xu Weiwei's heartbeat gradually calmed down.
This life is not in vain. In just five or six years, she has so many people who love her. She has enjoyed everything she never ate or played in her previous life. She is happier than she was in the past twenty years.
The only regret is that he didn't spread Chinese medicine. But people heard that after his death, the police would crack the password of his device to find out the cause of death and give his family some thoughts. Then the books she had memorized might also be discovered.
With the family's financial resources, it is enough to study them thoroughly, and she doesn't have to think about how to explain them. Doubts and questions are for the living, hahahahaha!
Suddenly, a feeling of falling brought Xu Weiwei's thoughts back to reality.
Xu Weiwei immediately realized that they had entered the elevator, and it was heading downwards.
That means they should be on the ground floor now, and the kidnappers are holding her in the basement, or many floors underground. Xu Weiwei made this judgment based on the time the elevator ran.
It’s at least four or five floors underground.
Where on earth is this? How can there be a building so deep underground...
"Hey~ Aren't you going to take a break today? Why are you going to 'purchase goods' again?"
"I can't help it. I got lucky and came across a good item while playing. I'd rather take it!"
The sack was casually placed on the ground, and Xu Weiwei curled up there in an extremely uncomfortable position, not daring to move. But soon, someone helped her change her position.
"What a good product! Let me see--!"
Plop! Xu Weiwei was roughly poured out like a potato. Her arms and head hit the floor. Her eyelids twitched uncontrollably in pain, but luckily no one noticed.
"Hey~! This color is rare! How did you come across it?"
As the man spoke, he pinched Xu Weiwei's face and looked at her from left to right. The smell of cigarettes from his fingers and mouth made her feel sick.
The man who had been carrying Xu Weiwei sat down, picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to wolf down the food. "I saw it when I was eating at the market. It was a rare opportunity. I didn't even eat before I started eating. I'm starving."
"Tsk tsk, the boss must have rewarded you a lot of money just for this one? It's a rare color, which is equivalent to us buying a bunch of common colors."
The man poured another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and sighed with satisfaction: "I'll treat my brothers to a meal when the bonus comes!"
"Okay! Then I'll be waiting for your meal! Let me make it clear first, I won't go to the market."
"You're talking nonsense! If the Third Brother wants to treat us, it must be of high quality! At least it has to be something like 'Blue Bay Restaurant'!"
"Get lost! You two are ripping me off here? A casual drink over there costs thousands. Is my bonus enough for you?"
……
After the three men had finished talking nonsense, someone finally remembered Xu Weiwei who was lying on the ground.
"What about this mermaid?"
Mermaid? They mistook me for a mermaid? Xu Weiwei’s mind buzzed.
"Let me see……"
The man stood up and walked to the cage to inspect it, scaring the mermaids inside so much that they huddled back.
"There's still plenty of room inside. Put it in here."
"Row."
Xu Weiwei was picked up and thrown into the cage, and the iron door was locked again.
