33 33. Their motive
Mo Xuanyi after leaving her to rest in the room came out to investigate who had done this. Leaving the room his eyes changed, and the killing intent became obvious to him.
"Did you find out something?" He glanced at Assistant Xu lightly.
But Assistant Xu felt chilled. He pushed his glasses up while replying." Sir, I have already checked all the things. As today is Miss Li's birthday many people toast her. But the strange thing is..." Stopping in the middle he glanced up and continued "Miss Li spewed Miss Yi and Sir Lu's drink." He picked out his phone from his pocket. And show him the video.
Seeing this he frowned and then thought about why she did it. As reality drowned his eyes narrowed. "Did she already discover something?" he muttered.
"Huh?" confused Assistant Xu asked.
"It's nothing to investigate Miss Yi and Lu Chen's today's activities and report me. Also don't let reporters enter," commanding him he left. As the owner of this hotel, it's his responsibility to handle this mess.
"Yes sir." Assistnat Xu left.
....
After Arranging all the things and promising some benefits to Mr. Yi. Assistant Xu felt tired. Just as he thought he was going home to rest. A subordinate ran towards him.
"It's bed Assistant Xu. Someone kidnapped Miss Li."He felt thunder strike over him. How could this be possible? "What happened to tell me in detail." Relaxing his heart he asked him for more details.
The bodyguard then told him the story. It's as if they were guarding outside the door of Miss Li when a waiter came with a big trolley and told them, Mr. Mo, send some hangover soap for Miss Li. After confirming it with Mr. Mo they allowed him in. He left after some time. Then just sometime before came a person with the manager to them and told them that the waiter was assaulted on the way. They went into the room to check but the whole room was blank. Someone stole his batch trolley when he was coming to them and left him unconscious. When he woke up he reported to the manager.
Listening to his story Assistant Xu felt a chill in his heart. Someone was going to die sure today. "Who has the gut to his hand on Miss Li."
"Please God help me" praying to gad he called Mr. Mo and told him all this, even though he was shivering.
He felt his killing intent even over the phone. "Close all the gates and search all over the hotel to make sure no one left without checking? Told manager to check the security camera in every area."
Yes, how can he forget there are cameras everywhere so how could they didn't notice anything amiss.
....
Li Huan woke up to an extremely blurry vision. She blinked a few times to clear her vision as memories of what happened before she lost consciousness flooded in, giving her a pounding headache. She groaned while reaching up to rub her forehead but found her hands were tightly bound. As her vision finally cleared, she registered her environment. She was in an empty room with her hands tied behind her, judging by the furniture it looked like some old house.
"How cliché." She muttered and rolled her eyes at this scene. She could already guess what was going to happen to her. She had already experienced being kidnapped multiple times before. I
To test the strength and expertise of the kidnappers, she yanked her wrists and found out that it was perfectly knotted where each jerk or motion would only tighten it.
"Just great." She sighed, lying on her back she tried to reach her hands towards the knife she hide earlier. But as her hands were tightly bound it was difficult. She started to await her kidnappers' conditions. What was it this time? Money? Humiliation? Secrets?
She pondered over the options and wondered If these men can be bought with money and not loyalty, it should be easy to swindle them out as long as she was able to triple the rate they were paid with.
She looked at the tin roof and saw there was a window up there. It's late at the night. A smile fell on her face. These men have screwed up.
Her Grandpa and Uncle Mo already found her kidnapping. She was sure that if anyone could find her, it would be Uncle Mo. Or maybe her grandfather had already made his move since her bodyguards would have reported something to him.
After a few minutes of utter boredom, while her mind produced zero escape routes, she felt movements outside. It sounded like multiple cars rapidly pulling up. Within seconds, the door to the room opened and several men walked in.
Li Huan's eyes turned sharp and focused as she watched them enter. She counted at least eight men all dressed in black.
While their faces were covered, she noticed two of them had a symbol tattooed on their hand. While others looked at some hoodlums.
"Good evening, everyone." She greeted them with an amused smile on her face. To show them fear was to show them weakness.
She decided to act nonchalant even though she was growing wary. If they were going to scare her to intimidate her, she knew she'd survive. But if they were planning on murdering her, they planned on doing so through an immense amount of torture.
"To what pleasure do you kidnap me?" She added while surveying the masked men in front of her.
A man who seemed like the leader of the group stepped forward. He was the only one with a tattoo. She was surprised to see the gun around his waist. It scared her but still, she didn't show it on her face.
"Good evening, young lady." He greeted her with a sinister smile spreading on his face. How interesting. This was the first time a woman didn't scream bloody murder or beg for them to let her go. His extent in Chinese was different, as he was not a native of China.
"So, what is it that you want to get out of me? Money, information, or is it just a simple beating as a warning?" She tilted her head, pretending to comply with them.
She wondered if they still had her purse. Inside her phone and wallet were trackers that Uncle Mo had installed in case something like this happened to her.
They might have been smart enough to destroy their phone but no one would guess there was a tracker in the bracelet she was wearing gifted by her Grandpa after what happened when she was fifteen. Her jewelry, shoes, and even her purses all have these trackers.
The leader frowned as per the information she was a timid girl. So how she was acting like this.
"To rape Miss Li" he felt amused after seeing her expression change.
"And how much were you paid?" Her eyes scanned the eight men with bulging bellies. She was wondering How they became companions. Now she understands he hired them to molest her. NOw looking around she found cameras. They planned to shoot while raping her "WHy?"
"Now that, young lady, is private information." He mused, watching her eyes scan his men. Despite seeing too many men she didn't seem to shake or cringe back in fear.
This was getting interesting.
"Wait should we discuss it. I can give you triple the money to release me." She was hoping to delay time or at least buy them out.
"I'm afraid your little plan won't work on me." The leader chuckled and made a gesture to his man.
Who came forward and poured some kind of drink into her mouth. She choked but still gulped some kind of.
"What did you give me?' her stern eyes looking at them dangerously.
"Let's go. Do your work properly." Gesturing his man to follow him out, he commanded all those men.
The way their eyes looked at her, she felt sick. They were looking at her as looking some king of meat waiting to devour her.
"How about we cooperate? as you know forceful Mellon was not sweet?" stealing some time she tried to reach at the knife in her dress. With her struggle, the dress fell from her leg. Her white and smooth leg came barely in front of them. Their eyes filled with lust.
He reached out to touch. His touch made her throw up, enduring she clutched the knife and tried to cut the rope.
