Chapter 178 - Warehouse

The grandpa who had been grunting in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e from Wang Ming's massage finally said something when he heard his spouse's description. "This woman, what do you know? They are clearly gangsters! Didn't you see their knives? I'm glad that they didn't help us, if they saw how rich we are they would, probably rob us instead!"

"Grandpa, grandma. Do you know where they went?"

"They went further down the road, I'm not sure which warehouse they entered. I was too afraid to look, I'm sorry, son."

"Thank you grandpa, grandma. It's all I needed to know! I have to go now." Even though they hadn't seen exactly where the men went, at least now Wang Ming knew which direction to search. There were only 10 warehouses further down the road, which narrowed the search significantly.

Running to the first warehouse, Wang Ming tried to look through a small window in the front. The warehouse was pitch black inside, Wang Ming had to use the flashlight The owners had stacked the front room of the warehouse up to the brim with old furniture, he could even see a big layer of dust on the furniture.

Which meant that it couldn't be this warehouse there were no signs of anyone being here for a long time. If someone had been here, they would have had to move the furniture to enter the room, which would move the dust. "1 out of 10".

Wang Ming went through the next 5 warehouses most were in the same condition, sadly though for all the warehouses is different For a few warehouses, Wang Ming had to climb up to access the windows, though still he could see no signs of life, all the warehouses looked deserted.

He felt despair as even after the 9th warehouse, he still had seen nothing. With his enhanced senses, he hoped that he at least could hear someone talk or make noises. He almost thought he had stepped into a graveyard, not a storage facility. How is it that no one is here? If Fu Ya isn't in this last warehouse either, then he would be back to square one.

The last warehouse didn't have any windows, so Wang Ming had no way to see inside it. But when Wang Ming put his ear on the door, he could hear a faint sound, like someone was clapping. Feeling anxious and happy at the same time, Wang Ming tried to bring down the door with a kick, but felt surprised when he barely made a dent in the door. The door looked so thin, yet was incredibly durable.

Wang Ming tried to increase the power output on his kicks, which made the door dent. After giving the door handle a few more kicks, the door sprung open, which made a loud sound. He thought the people would have heard it from the inside, but the clapping sound got even louder now. Even though he didn't want to, the clapping sounds made Wang Ming's heart race.

This warehouse differed totally from the other warehouses, there was barely anything stored here, they even cleaned up this place recently as Wang Ming could see no dust, even footprints, like someone had just cleaned up only minutes ago. Wang Ming didn't bother to sneak around.

He ran towards the source of the sounds, but when he opened the door in front of him he saw nothing. The room was empty. He even went through the two other rooms, but nothing was here. Seeing nothing here made him doubt himself. Had he hallucinated? Is there really no one here? But once again, he heard the clapping sound, this time even louder, Wang Ming had a hard time locating where the sound came from.

He even checked the walls to see if there is a secret entrance somewhere, but found nothing. He kept hearing the sounds again and again, but just couldn't locate where it came from, until he tripped and fell to the floor. Wang Ming almost slapped himself in the face for being so stupid, it should have been the first thing he thought of, there's a hidden bas.e.m.e.nt here.

When he put his ear to the floor, he could hear the sounds even louder, he could even make out the sound of someone grunting. Searching the whole floor, Wang Ming finally found a metal handle pulling it up revealed a staircase to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

As soon as he stepped down the staircase, Wang Ming could smell s.e.x in the air, the stench was so bad that he had to breathe through the mouth, they must have had s.e.x for hours to it to be so bad. Wang Ming prayed it isn't Fu Ya, but even he didn't believe himself.

Running down the staircase, Wang Ming saw a door which resembled a psych ward door more than anything else. Who in their wretched mind would make such a place? Seeing the door, Wang Ming wanted to ram the door down and beat up the person on the other side. But his body just refused to listen to him, his heart who had been beating fast already turned up a gear. His entire forehead sweat. When he finally arrived at the door, Wang Ming peeked through the glass, but since its stained glass Wang Ming couldn't see anything.

"Wang Ming!"
