It was already late at night when the father and daughter set off. Little treasure was still a child. Although he was worried, he couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness with his father around him.
Gu mohan held the steering wheel with one hand, pulled the blanket up for her, covered her chin, and called her assistant.
Before, he was in a hurry and didn't think about many things clearly. After a temper tantrum, the assistant looked around aimlessly, which would only delay the unnecessary time.
"President gu." The assistant's voice was full of fatigue, so she must have been up all day.
"You've worked hard." Gu mohan thanked him and then asked, "Is there still no clue?"
"Yes, I'm sorry."
The national road was very quiet at night. Occasionally, a truck drove by at night and drove away immediately. Gu mohan took a look at the sign in the sky with the light and knew that he was still a long way from city a.
He blinked hard and said to the phone, "She lost her wallet and cell phone. Even if she has money, she doesn't have much left. Her id card is in her wallet. She doesn't even have anything to prove her identity, but she can't live on the streets. You go to the train station and look for a small hotel that is cheap and doesn't require a real name to register. Maybe she'll choose there."
The assistant agreed and hung up.
Gu mohan put down his phone and pressed his hand on his abdomen.
His wound was on the left side of his stomach and could be seen as long as he lowered his head, but since leaving the hospital, he hadn't looked there at all. Because he had taken two painkillers before he left, the pain was not as intense as before, but he could feel it through his skin. The stitches on the wound must have burst again, and there must have been a lot of blood. He was afraid that when he saw it, he would really be unable to hold on. Those who didn't know it were fearless. Those who didn't know the truth might be able to hold on longer if they encouraged themselves.
Less than an hour later, the assistant called again.
"President huo, your orders have come to fruition. There are a lot of cheap hotels near the train station, but there are very few without id cards. There are only about two or three of them, and their locations are quite remote."
"Two or three?" Gu mohan pondered for a moment and asked, "Which one of them is cleaner?"
Ye zhiqiao loved cleanliness. Even if she didn't have money, she probably wouldn't live in a dirty place.
The assistant replied with some difficulty, "That fly-head shop shouldn't be too neat, right? If you have to pick one..."
The assistant gave him a name, and then gu mohan asked him to send him the exact location of the hotel.
It was three in the morning. Gu mohan's black car was speeding along the dark road, surrounded by rocks and dense trees, while ye zhiqiao was lying on the small bed tossing and turning restlessly.
The quality of this small single bed was very bad. When one moved lightly on it, the bed would make a annoying sound of "Creaking." Later, ye zhiqiao finally couldn't stand it. She got up and examined it carefully. She put a folded cardboard under the broken leg of the bed, and then climbed into bed with ease.
However, she couldn't sleep at all. After waking up, ye zhiqiao was completely frozen in the room where the heating had been cut off, and even the smoking quilt was not disgusted. She covered her head directly and curled up like a cooked shrimp.
Just as she was pondering whether to make a suggestion to the innkeeper tomorrow, even if she did not provide hot water, she had to maintain the average temperature in the room, when she suddenly heard something in the corridor.
The doors in the hotel were all made of the worst material, let alone soundproofing. It was estimated that even a skinny woman could kick them open, so the sound in the corridor could be clearly heard by ye zhiqiao.
Strange sounds in the middle of the night always made people nervous. Ye zhiqiao lifted the quilt and listened to the movement outside the door with bated breath.
It seemed to be the sound of people walking, and not just one person, rustling, as if deliberately lightening their footsteps.
Ye zhiqiao's heart was pounding with that sound. Suddenly, her heart stopped, and then it vibrated even more violently, almost jumping out of her chest!
Because the sound she heard, at this moment, stopped at her door -
The man's low voice sounded intermittently. Ye zhiqiao's nerves were tense and her hands were tightly clutching the quilt on her chest. She knew what she should do now. She shouted to remind the people outside that she was still awake, or immediately called the police, because no matter what angle she looked at, the people outside at this time would only be a threat to her and could not be kind.
But before she could use any other method, the lock on the door had already clicked open.
Ah!!!
The scream rang out from her heart, but she immediately choked it back into her stomach.
Almost instinctively, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
If there was light, her eyelashes and even her lips could be clearly seen trembling, but it was impossible for someone to turn on the light.
With her eyes closed, her hearing became sharper. Ye zhiqiao felt that they seemed to have been watching by the bed for a long time, then tiptoed to the window and whispered a few words.
"How is it? This time the goods are good, right? As soon as the girl comes, I've been watching her. You have to give her a good price."
This voice was familiar to ye zhiqiao, and then she remembered that it was the owner of the hotel. When she came in, the owner came over to ask her if her room was satisfactory. At that time, she thought that her uncle in his forties was a very kind person, but she didn't expect...
At this moment, another male voice rang out, "It's much better than before. The rules are the same as before. Just put it in the car and pay."
A younger voice said, "Brother, she's not awake. What should we do?" !!!
Ye zhiqiao was shocked. Her palms were covered in sticky sweat. She was absolutely sure that these people were human traffickers. This shop was a black shop!
She bolted out of bed and ran to the door without even putting on her shoes.
A shout came from behind, followed by heavy footsteps.
Ye zhiqiao ran to the door smoothly, but the doorknob didn't open, and they locked the door when they came in!
When she came to her senses and was about to unscrew the door lock, a pair of large hands reached behind her.
"Ah!! Ahhh!!!"
Her shoulder was grabbed, and her eyes widened as she screamed in terror, "Help!! Help! Help me! There are traffickers... Hmm..."
