Even if they couldn’t leave for now, they still needed to understand where exactly they found themselves.
Suri Drew, who was standing nearby, immediately nodded and chimed in.
“Yeah, can you tell us?”
Her mind began to recall the moments leading up to this point.
She clearly remembered being pulled into this place after turning a mysterious corner.
However, while running, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual about that area, nor any hidden passages.
Thus, she was utterly clueless about what was happening, and how could she not be puzzled?
It couldn’t possibly be a space that just materialized out of nowhere, could it?
This made no sense at all.
Under these circumstances, Suri was indeed curious to know where they were and what they should do next.
It was only after a while that a faint glimmer of light finally appeared before their eyes.
But the light was very dim.
With this faint light, they finally saw where they were.
They never expected to find themselves in a small room.
Moreover, there seemed to be two beds, a desk, and some stools nearby.
So they didn’t know what kind of place this was, but they were nevertheless intrigued.
Not only that, they immediately looked at the person holding the flashlight. Upon closer inspection, they realized a young man around their age stood before them.
He appeared to be even younger than them.
They wondered why he was living in such a place, and found the situation quite odd.
However, no matter what, they were grateful to him.
Moreover, the fact that he could share such a place for them to hide for a while was already a wonderful thing indeed.
Otherwise, who knows how bad things might have been?
Finally, the young man spoke up.
“You can just call me Price.”
Upon hearing this, Yigol Novak approached him and asked,
“How long have you been living here? When will we be able to leave?”
Upon hearing this, Price just sat on a nearby chair.
He paused, looked at the two people in front of him, and began to speak.
“I’ve also been hiding here all along. If you want to leave, it might be difficult and take a long time.”
Upon hearing this, they seemed to understand something.
Soon, the young man continued talking.
“You guys must be the ones who reported them, right? I saw it.”
Before Yigol and Suri could reply, he unexpectedly revealed this piece of information.
“How did you see it?”
Suri couldn’t help but frown and ask.
Price looked up at the ceiling and replied,
“On TV. I remember you guys reported them and even sent them in yourselves. But how could they still get out?”
Now that he asked, how could they not know?
If they had known there was a fish that slipped through the net, they would undoubtedly have been more cautious and not let their guard down.
They initially thought they had captured many people, but they never expected there would still be others.
However, discussing this now was of no use.
After all, terrible things were bound to happen to them now.
“Since you know who we are, can you tell us who you are? Why are you hiding in a place like this?”
Suri asked as well.
Honestly, she was very curious about Price’s identity and wondered who he was, why he came here, and most importantly, why he reached out to them at such a critical moment.
After a while, Price finally spoke seriously.
“Actually, I’ve known from the beginning that similar transactions were happening in several places. But I couldn’t do anything about it, so I’ve been collecting information about them.”
Both Suri and Yigol were taken aback upon hearing this. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
He had known about this situation from the beginning.
What Price said next was even more unbelievable to them.
“And this hotel is similar to the ones you’ve investigated before, doing almost the same thing.”
They never imagined that such a high-end hotel would engage in such heinous acts.
So they couldn’t help but be a bit skeptical at this moment.
“Oh my god, are you serious?”
Suri looked deeply concerned.
She really couldn’t believe it. Mainly because they specifically chose this hotel for its upscale reputation and assumed nothing bad would happen.
They had encountered problems at other hotels before.
Some hotels had rooms for rent, but then there would be massage parlors below.
Not only that, some hotel basements even had KTV, and it seemed that other activities could be performed inside those KTVs.
Given their assumption that this hotel didn’t have any of those chaotic situations, they decided to pick this place.
But now, they never expected it to turn out just like their previous experiences.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe this. If we had known this beforehand, we would never have chosen such a place.”
Suri couldn’t help but say this.
It genuinely expressed what she was feeling.
Having heard Suri, Yigol immediately nodded and added,
“That’s right. When we chose this place, we thought it would be cleaner and not messy like previous places we’ve been to. But it turns out to be no different.”
The news they were now learning was indeed shocking.
However, Price, who stood before them, didn’t seem to think it was a big deal.
He seemed to have gotten used to it by now.
