"I'll pick up your friend for you." Andrea said to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng did not expect the other party to reply so straightforwardly. He embarrassedly pointed to Wei Lian who was still lying on the ground: "I accidentally hurt your friend just now, I am truly sorry."

Andrea laughed: "Nothing, the Black Tower does not welcome losers."

Zhou Heng nodded his head, pretending to agree with Andrea's words. Black Tower? Zhou Heng seemed to have seen this phrase somewhere before, but it had been a long time since he could think of it.

Under Andrea's lead, Zhou Heng walked deeper into the workshop.

Wei Lian was left in his original position, and before long, a servant would come to carry him away. As for where he would go to handle the situation, no one else knew.

****************

In the dark, damp little room.

Xu Lingshan hugged Ding Ling tightly, and then, continuously tested the temperature of her forehead with her hands.

Ding Ling had a high fever.

The pampered Ding Ling simply did not have a body that was able to adapt to this kind of environment. She was mentally humiliated and bullied, and since her body was not willing to eat here, she naturally had a high fever.

Xu Lingshan let go of Ding Ling and sat down while leaning against the wall. Then, she stood up and walked to the side of the iron gate. All the women in the room stared at Xu Lingshan with terrified eyes, hoping that she would stop doing such crazy things.

Not long ago, Xu Lingshan had already knocked on the iron door once, she hoped that someone could come in and save Ding Ling, but when the big sized man came in, she only used her whip to beat up the people in the room, and then left, ignoring Xu Lingshan's shouts.

Now, Xu Lingshan was prepared to give it another try, causing the other women in the room to clamor. They couldn't beat Xu Lingshan, so they could only beg for mercy.

"Please, don't cause trouble!"

"He'll beat us, he'll whip us to death!"

"Spare us!"

Xu Lingshan's heart suddenly softened. These women were victims like her. They shouldn't have been beaten up here. However, Xu Lingshan had no other choice. She could not watch as Ding Ling continued to weaken until she died.

Just as she was about to knock on the iron door, she heard footsteps coming from outside.

There was indeed someone walking over.

The person's footsteps were neither fast nor slow. It seemed like they were very used to the environment here, and they were probably not here to rescue the rescue workers.

Behind Xu Lingshan, the girls were still begging loudly for mercy, making it impossible for Xu Lingshan to hear the conversation outside clearly. Annoyed, she turned around and scolded the women, "Be quiet! There are people coming from outside. I'm listening to their conversation! " The people outside the door had already started their conversation. However, they were not using Chinese to communicate, so if there were any noises behind them, it would be difficult to eavesdrop on them.

When the women heard someone coming from outside the door, they immediately became even more flustered. They cried in the dim room, "They must be here to take us away! They must be here to capture us!"

"None of the people who were taken away ever came back!"

"They treat us like animals and now they're coming to kill us!"

Xu Lingshan no longer paid any attention to them, instead, she seriously listened to the conversation outside. It was as if someone was asking the guard to open the door. After hearing these words, Xu Lingshan took a few steps back, and then returned to Ding Ling's side.

As expected, the sound of a lock being unlocked came from the metal door.

A blinding white light shone into the room, and the two men walked in one after the other. Those women were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, not daring to make a sound now. They all curled up in their corners, afraid that they would be the first to be chosen.

"Mr. Andrea," the guard said to Andrea who was walking in front, "do you really want to hand the woman over to that brat?"

Andrea replied, "Of course not." Different from Wei Lian, Andrea had a better strategy.

With that, Andrea looked around the room, and then his gaze landed on the unconscious Ding Ling. What Zhou Heng had described was precisely this woman.

"What are you doing!" Xu Lingshan immediately stood up. Since she noticed that every single person who was imprisoned was a young and beautiful woman, and she heard that no one who was brought out of here had ever returned, Xu Lingshan guessed that this must be a human trafficking organization.

Xu Lingshan blocked in front of Ding Ling, and now that Ding Ling had a fever, if she was taken away by these bad people, she would most likely not be able to hold on for much longer.

Andrea set his gaze on Xu Lingshan, and then swept his gaze up and down.

"I'll use this one." Andrea suddenly pointed at Xu Lingshan and said.

Andrea once again examined Xu Lingshan's face, then nodded in satisfaction.

Ignoring Xu Lingshan's resistance, after Andrea walked out of the door, a guard dragged him out of the room.

Bang. After Xu Lingshan was taken away, the metal door slammed shut heavily.

As the door was being illuminated by the bright white light, Xu Lingshan, who had adapted to the dim lighting, was unable to get used to the bright light as she closed her eyes tightly. However, in a few seconds, she slowly opened her eyes — she had to wait for her surroundings to clear up. If she wanted to escape from here, or even rescue the innocent female prisoners, familiarity with the environment was a necessary step.

She seemed to be in a large warehouse where there were more than one small room. Xu Lingshan wasn't sure if every room was the same as the one she was in, but she could guess that there would not be too few women locked up.

Xu Lingshan's eyes gradually adapted to the blinding white light.

Where were these people going to take them? Xu Lingshan didn't know. After all, there had never been a case where someone had been taken away before.

They might be pulled in for experiments, or they might take a ship and sell it abroad.

Her jacket had already been given to Ding Ling, and she was only wearing a thin shirt. Even her shirt had been soaked by the water, the wet portion sticking to her skin. The water evaporated the heat from her body, causing Xu Lingshan to feel a bit cold. Even if she was fearless, when she thought of her future, she couldn't help but feel fear.

Who could it be? Xu Lingshan could not help but guess, could it be the leader of this evil organization?
