Chapter 416: Chapter 189 Plant Affinity_3

Wang Tao’s voice was full of apologies.

“…”

Nie Siyan’s face looked awful. Could they really have gotten the location wrong?

But then again, there were many buildings nearby, and it was night without a map, so making a mistake was normal…

“Alright! We’ll wait for you. Big brother, you must be careful, and prioritize your own safety! We can hold on for another half a day, no problem!”

Nie Siyan sounded sincere, but she was actually grinding her teeth.

“Haha, don’t worry, just wait for us! We’ll be there in two hours!”

After speaking, Wang Tao immediately cut the communication.

“This stupid idiot, I’m going to wait another two hours for you!”

Nie Siyan took out a crumpled cigarette from her person.

“Sss… puff…”

Two hours later.

Looking at the still silent walkie-talkies, Nie Siyan’s complexion was terrible.

She contacted her subordinates again.

There was no sign of activity on their end; they were sure no one had gone to the convenience store or the milk tea shop.

“I’ll give you one last hour! If you don’t show up in one hour, I’m turning off the walkie-talkie and going to sleep!”

Nie Siyan muttered resentfully to herself.

She was very sleepy, but she couldn’t rest for the sake of this prey.

So, she forcefully waited another hour.

Still nothing happened.

It was the middle of the night now, and it would soon be dawn if she didn’t sleep!

Nie Siyan rubbed her tired eyes, about to turn off the walkie-talkie and go to sleep.

She guessed her subordinates were also extremely tired, but she was too lazy to ask.

“Static…”

But just at that moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly made a noise!

“Static… Miss Nie, are you there? I’ve arrived… static…”

Huh? Arrived?

Nie Siyan was immediately overjoyed.

She immediately used the second walkie-talkie to tell her subordinates to get ready, saying the person was coming.

Then she pretended to be very excited as she spoke:

“Really? Where are you now?”

“Behind… you!”

This voice didn’t come from the walkie-talkie, but from behind her!

“!!”

Nie Siyan was shocked, but before she could even turn around, she felt a pain in the back of her head and then everything went black, consciousness slipping away. In the dimness, she seemed to see a flash of green light.

Behind her, Wang Tao withdrew his hand.

“You’re a bit weak! And to think I was being so cautious…”

Wang Tao spoke with a hint of speechlessness, but he efficiently stuffed Nie Siyan into a sack.

Then he hoisted Nie Siyan onto his shoulder, took her walkie-talkie and backpack, making sure nothing was omitted, before he swaggered down the stairs.

Downstairs, Jiang Shixue stood next to a guard she had knocked out.

“Let’s go.”

Wang Tao casually hoisted the man as well.

Only two guards remained at Haochen Hotel; they were positioned such that they couldn’t see Wang Tao’s location. Thus, when the two of them left Haochen Hotel, no one noticed. They made their way back to the mall without incident.

Wang Tao tied up the two captives.

Particularly for the woman, he used a chain from the car to tightly secure her. And to think, the woman’s figure was somewhat explosive; the chain only highlighted her curves more.

The man was a Level 1 ability user with just four thousand HP, a negligible force. The woman, with over ten thousand HP, was a Second-order Superpower Owner, barely passable.

Then Wang Tao tied the woman and the man in two separate rooms.

“You go interrogate that man; I’ll interrogate this woman.”

Wang Tao said to Xu Xiaojun.

“Okay!”

Xu Xiaojun nodded firmly.

Though he was an honest man, it didn’t mean he couldn’t get angry.

Xu Xiaojun approached the man and began to hammer him mercilessly.

“Uh… it hurts…”

Shortly, the man groggily opened his eyes, to darkness. His eyes were blindfolded. He seemed to understand the situation in a flash and immediately started speaking in a panic:

“Don’t kill me, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!”

…

Meanwhile, Wang Tao slapped the unconscious woman’s face several times.

Slap slap slap—

Her face was almost swollen from the slaps by the time she slowly came to. Her vision was enveloped in darkness as well.

“Just answer what I ask. I’ve already questioned your accomplice. If I find your answers don’t match, both of you can go to hell.”

Wang Tao said coldly.

However, this woman was much more composed than the man. She struggled a bit and, finding escape impossible, she immediately asked:

“Who are you? What do you want? I can give you anything, please let me go…”

Slap—

Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped again.

“Just answer what I ask. I haven’t started questioning, and I hope there won’t be a second time.”

“…”

Nie Siyan was enraged but, knowing her life was in someone else’s hands, she smartly refrained from saying more.

“Name.”

“…Nie Siyan.”

“Huh?” Wang Tao paused, then slapped her again, “I said your real name.”

“…My real name is Nie Siyan…”

Nie Siyan suppressed her anger, her tone slightly aggrieved.

“…”

Wang Tao was somewhat at a loss for words; this woman used her real name while out to scam people?

“Age.”

“28…”

“Gender.”

“…”

Slap—

“Gender.”

“Female!” Nie Siyan gritted her teeth and replied.

Suddenly, Wang Tao asked:

“Why did you deceive me?”

“I didn’t—”

Slap—

Nie Siyan instinctively tried to defend herself, but received a fierce slap from Wang Tao again.

Blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, with no trace of pity from Wang Tao.

“I wanted the goods on your bodies…”

Nie Siyan had no choice; her subordinates certainly weren’t tough talkers… Seeing the way Wang Tao was, she had no doubt that he would kill her, so she could only speak the truth.

“And?”

“And… you guys yourselves. Foreign ability users like you fetch a high price…”

Hearing this, Wang Tao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

So Zijing City is engaging in ability user trafficking now? Quite advanced indeed!
