In the Western Pacific Ocean, the Yisou cruise ship was heading north. A storm was brewing at sea, the waves became unsettled, and the cruise ship drifted on top, barely moving forward.
Ruan Bai was lying on the bed, being forced to eat again and again, the mattress around the bed had become dirty and messy, and even had a faint smell of rancidity.
She didn't know that this was her first few days on the ship, because there were no windows, and the entire room was closed with walls except for one door.
Her hands were tied and her mouth was gagged, but her feet were free, but her range of activities was limited to this room, so she couldn't tell night from day.
The hull was shaking, Ruan Bai felt his stomach churning, and once again had the urge to vomit, but his mouth was stuffed with cloth, even if he wanted to vomit, he couldn't vomit in the end.
She simply turned her head away, took a deep breath, and adjusted the discomfort in her stomach.
On this ship, she only saw three men, Abep, and two mercenaries, and they didn't care how bad the environment of the cabin was, even though the residue on the bed sheet showed signs of mold, and they didn't mean to clean it.
Therefore, for the past few days, she has been feeling very uncomfortable and want to vomit, especially when Abep forced her to eat.
The cabin door was pushed open, and Abep came in with a bowl of porridge.
In the past few days, he thought about feeding Ruan Bai, but she seemed unwilling to eat, and it was too troublesome to feed her. In the end, he decided to feed her porridge, which would save her troubles and keep her from starving to death, so he poured down a bowl of porridge , at least half of it can enter her stomach.
Ruan Bai trembled when he heard the sound of the door being opened.
She knew it without looking, and Abep came again.
In the past few days, other than feeding her porridge and water, he didn't make things difficult for her too much, but she didn't want to eat it, so when she heard the door opening, that fear arose spontaneously.
Ruan Bai thought that she would become Mu Shaoling's bondage in the future, so she didn't want to eat it.
Although Abep didn't say how to deal with her, it was still conceivable that if she ended up in such a situation in the future, she might as well die by herself.
In this way, at least Mu Shaoling will not be tied down, and he will not become a weakness to hurt him.
Abep looked at the dozing mercenary, kicked the chair impatiently, the mercenary woke up immediately, stood up and bowed his head to him, looking like he was waiting to be scolded.
Abep said coldly: "I asked you to watch people, not to doze off, you can't do this well, and next time you'd better jump off the boat and roll yourself."
"I'm sorry, Boss." The mercenary was terrified by his cold eyes.
Abep looked at Ruan Bai again. She was lying on the bed in an awkward posture. He walked over, pulled the cloth from her mouth, and said, "It stinks."
Ruan Bai listened to his words and sneered.
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Abep pinched the two acupuncture points around her mouth as usual, and poured down the porridge in the bowl.
Ruan Bai didn't have the strength to resist at all, so she could only keep spitting out the porridge, and finally swallowed half and vomited half, and she was choked.
"Isn't it good to be obedient?" Abep looked at her lying on the bed, choking and coughing, without any pity in his heart.
If Ruan Bai was more obedient, he wouldn't have to suffer such a crime.
But she didn't understand this truth, but the more disobedient she was, the more interested Abep would be in trying to teach her to be obedient.
Ruan Bai managed to catch his breath, and stared at him, "Dreaming."
Abep sneered, and stuffed the cloth back into her mouth, "One day, you will surrender to me, Ruan Bai."
The mercenary looked at the mess on the bed sheet and said in a low voice, "Boss, do you want to change this woman's bed sheet?"
He experienced many difficult environments when he was a special soldier, but the bad smell was getting stronger every day, and he felt uncomfortable smelling it.
"No, we can reach the coast of the island tonight." Abep said, after a few days of sailing, they were about to reach their destination - Terror Island.
He had left this island for almost three years, and when he went back now, everything had changed.
The power that Robert spent half his life building was completely destroyed by Mu Shaoling. As the adopted son, he must help him rebuild this power.
And Ruan Bai is a temporary chess piece in his plan, a very important chess piece.
Ruan Bai listened to the conversation between the two, and closed his eyes in despair.
During these few days of wandering, she kept praying for Mu Shaoling to show up and rescue her out of danger.
But no matter how much he prayed, it was useless, he didn't appear, and he couldn't end his life.
The porridge slowly slumped down in his stomach, and there was another churning. Ruan Bai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to relieve the discomfort.
Abep turned his head, glanced at her, turned and walked out of the cabin.
The moment the door closed, Ruan Bai opened her eyes, and tears slowly fell down. The closer she got to that place, the greater the fear in her heart.
Not out of fear that Abep would kill himself, but out of fear of the unpredictability of the future.
If, one day in the future, she and Mu Shaoling stand on opposite ends of each other...
She doesn't want the future to be like that!
the other side.
Mu Shaoling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling. Just now, he dreamed of Ruan Bai.
It has been a week since Ruan Bai was kidnapped. His people are investigating, and Song Beixi is also helping to investigate. In addition, the three forces at the police station have been investigating, but they still haven't found any relevant clues. They didn't even know that Ruan Bai was gone.
From the day she was kidnapped, all traffic arteries in city A have stepped up their vigilance, but the three image puzzles given by the bodyguards did not find a match.
They disappeared out of thin air.
The outside world is very concerned about this matter, and some bold news media have even speculated that Ruan Bai was buried in the sea.
After seeing such reports, Mu Shaoling asked Dong Zijun to do something. The next day, the behind-the-scenes operator of the newspaper declared bankruptcy.
In order to find Ruan Bai, he didn't close his eyes for many days, and he was able to sleep today because Mr. Mu secretly put sleeping pills into his coffee.
But sleeping pills couldn't resist his strong willpower, and the moment he dreamed of Ruan Bai, he woke up.
He dreamed of her, looking sad, with scars all over her face, she was crying and asking herself, why didn't she save her, why did she have to suffer from this.
Mu Shaoling sat up distractedly, picked up his phone, but there was no new news.
His people came to look for Ruan Bai in shifts 24 hours a day, because the last location of the car was at the pier, and the police also contacted the coast guard to be on duty at the nearby coast, but there was still no news today.
The time displayed on the phone screen was exactly three o'clock in the morning, and he had only slept for two hours. Mu Shaoling looked at the dark bedroom, without Ruan Bai by his side, no matter how high the temperature in this room was, it would not be able to warm his body and mind.
