Chapter 305 - Secret Base
"This way!" Qin Yuyin breathed heavily and brought the two of us to an upward exit at the end of the sewer. I quickly followed her footsteps and not long later, we finally escaped from the other side of the sewer.
After running out of the sewer, we ran up the dam and passed through a few low houses. We circled back and forth between alleys, but we didn't let any of the outlaws catch up with us.
After about ten minutes of running, we reached a construction site and stopped.
"We've finally gotten rid of them," Qin Yuyin said as she sat on a few logs of wood and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Sister Yuyin, I'm sorry, I was in the wrong. I caused all of you to get into trouble." Ixeris praeparata scratched her head and apologized.
"You're still talking! Why are you so careless? Didn't I say not to provoke those people on the street? They are all a bunch of desperate criminals! " Qin Yuyin ruefully scratched her head, her beautiful face revealing an expression of worry.
"You discovered their secret and even lost their bags, so they definitely won't spare us now." Qin Yuyin reprimanded Ixeris praeparata, her expression conflicted.
Looking at the conversation between Qin Yuyin and the Ixeris praeparata, I was also extremely worried. What I was worried about the most was Xiao Bai who was still in the apartment building, and I was also worried about that Ma Nannan girl and those few little girls. If they were captured by those outlaws, it would be troublesome.
"Bro, I'm sorry. I wouldn't have done that." Seeing my serious expression, Qin Yuyin apologetically said to me with an apologetic expression.
Looking at Qin Yuyin and Ixeris praeparata in front of me, I felt a surge of emotions.
"You people are really strange." I bury my face in my hands, but my heart is getting more and more anxious. Initially, it was a simple matter to return home, but I didn't expect that it would be so complicated. The train had collapsed, the mysterious Zi Die, the retired Old Commander, and now they were even involved in an illegal trade. Sis, can I still return to the Santan City if this goes on?
"Sorry, brother." Qin Yuyin sat beside me and extended her hand to look at me. She said, "Brother, I've caused you trouble. It's our fault. Shall I give you a punch on the back? "
As she said that, Qin Yuyin even reached out her hand to help me massage my back. Her delicate fist lightly tapped on my back in an attempt to ease my fatigue. No matter what, Qin Yuyin can still be considered a beauty. Although she's a Lioness, when there's a beauty giving you a massage on your back, you still have a strange feeling in your heart.
"Alright, stop knocking. My back doesn't hurt. Now that we've gotten rid of them, let's go back and check on the other people's situation." I hope they can leave with a bag. "
Qin Yuyin looked at me, then looked at valiant woman, and said:
"Yes." In a little while we'll sneak back and find out that there's a path we can take back. Brother, it's very troublesome to meet people like this on the underworld. As the saying goes, 'The Nine-headed Bird in the Sky and the Hubei Tauren above'. This area of Hubei is quite chaotic in the whole of China. The underworld is especially rampant, and sometimes even the government doesn't dare to move. You have a great background, so you know that many sects in Martial Alliance have also been developed by the underworld. It's like the Lotus Gang, the Gao Family. Hundreds of years ago, they were all famous gangs in the country.
Indeed, I had heard rumors about the Nine-Headed Bird in the sky and the Hubei Fellow on the ground in the 21st century. One of my university roommates was in Hubei, and he often told me about how strong the people were on their side, how strong the swindlers were, and how he trained his arm strength with a lift every day. He was the best one in our dorm.
In order not to be targeted by the outlaws, we waited at the construction site for nearly two and a half hours before we set out again. Zither Moon brought us into the crowd on the street and slowly approached the alley where we had run out from.
Far away at the end of the street we did not see the cars of the outlaws at Huguangkou, and we were all relieved to see that the outlaws had already left.
"It seems to be gone. They've already brought back the wallet. " She tiptoed in the direction of the apartment, and I followed her at a leisurely pace.
However, when we entered the apartment building and pushed open the door to the warehouse, we were stunned.
The instant I pushed open the door, my heart clenched. On the other hand, Qin Yuyin abruptly grabbed my hand. Her body staggered and she almost fainted.
At that moment, even though I was an outsider, I was still deeply shocked.
The messy room, the broken door and windows, the crushed lid of the pot, the broken bowl, the broken glass, the blood on the wall, the empty room.
The dumbstruck Qin Yuyin and Ixeris praeparata did not move an inch.
"How can this be? How did our home become like this? "
"Where's Susu? Where are the stars? "
Qin Yuyin stood there in a daze. Her tears flowed from her eyes in an instant. The pearl-like tears covered her face, but Qin Yuyin was very strong. She tried her best to control her emotions. After she slowly recovered, she dried her tears and took a few steps towards the room.
The room was a mess, but empty.
There were no those three little girls from before, no sick stars, no Ma Nannan, no Little White.
"Revenge! They were taken away!" I felt a buzzing in my head. Little White and the stars weren't in the room, which meant that she had probably been captured by the outlaws.
"Sister Yue Yin" Ixeris praeparata looked at the scene in the room dumbfoundedly. Her eyes were wide open, and she was in a state of endless shock.
"Little White?" I called out twice, but there was no answer, and I knew there was no one in the room.
Little White was taken. I was deeply aware of this.
Lil 'White was taken away.
My mind went blank, my heart went cold, and my worst fears came true.
With a glance, I saw a slip of paper on the table. Stepping forward, I picked up the slip of paper from the table and looked at it before falling into a long silence.
"They were taken." I said, looking at the words on the paper.
After hearing my words, Qin Yuyin also walked over and looked at the note in my hand.
It was written as follows:
"You ran pretty fast. Unfortunately, the monk could run but not the temple. We took him away. He would personally bring the rest of the items to the Gui Yuan Temple before 12 o'clock tonight to let them go. If he dared to report what had happened inside the Gui Yuan Temple, he could just wait for the body to be collected. Remember, return everything to Gui Yuan Temple before 12 o'clock. We'll kill one person an hour late. If it's not six tomorrow morning, then I won't be here. "
Looking at the words on the paper, Qin Yuyin, Ixeris praeparata, and I looked at each other in dismay.
My heart is bleeding.
Little White was taken away.
Lil 'White was taken away by someone from the underworld.
He was going to die at 12 o'clock tonight.
"Sister Yuyin!" The Ixeris praeparata's voice trembled, "I … I …"
After a long silence, no one spoke.
I looked at Qin Yuyin and the Ixeris praeparata, fiercely glaring at them. However, their faces were filled with despondency, and they stood unmoving like stone statues that had lost their souls. All of them were stupefied.
"Sister Yuyin, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Ixeris praeparata suddenly cried. Her eyes were bloodshot as she continuously wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Qin Yuyin was also unable to hold back and started crying as the two girls in their twenties hugged each other in front of me and cried.
As I stood there, watching the two girls cry, I felt as if I was the only one left in the world.
I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
I had a sudden urge to tear my face off.
Never in my short life had I encountered such a thorny problem. Kidnapping. Little White has been kidnapped. What should I do? If it was in the past, there would always be people by my side. I have Qing Han, or perhaps the Little Princess, no matter how much danger I face, there would always be a person by my side who can shoulder it with me. I am not that lonely, but this time, I am alone in this foreign land, and there is no one who can help me.
What should I do?
"Enough. You two, quiet down. " What made me surprised was that I actually calmed down. Logically speaking, I should be panicking at this moment. However, at this moment, I managed to calm down.
I think it's probably because I've experienced too many things that I was able to remain calm at this moment compared to Qin Yuyin and the others.
After that, she turned her head to look at me with tears on her face. I grabbed onto my hair as I sat on the sofa. The situation had developed to this point that it was completely beyond my control.
"If something happens to Lil 'White, I won't let you go easily either." I looked at Qin Yuyin and Ixeris praeparata as I coldly spoke.
"Brother!"
"It doesn't matter what you call me, just tell me, what should we do now?!" I stopped Qin Yuyin from speaking. Qin Yuyin lowered her head with a haggard expression, and turned to look at Ixeris praeparata.
"Big Ear, one of the people who was taken away just now was a friend of this big boss. You've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time." Traces of tears could be seen on Qin Yuyin's beautiful face, but Ixeris praeparata was greatly shocked upon hearing my words and immediately kneeled in front of me.
"Big Boss, I've implicated you. I'm really sorry!"
"Is that enough?" Looking at Ixeris praeparata, a nameless fire ignited in my heart. If not for her luring those criminals over, how could things have escalated to such a state?
"What exactly did you steal from them? They want to chase you like this? "
"I … I just stole their wallets." Ixeris praeparata said with tears in her eyes.
"Then what did you see them do? Would they threaten you with it? Is it a drug deal or something? " I asked, looking at Ixeris praeparata.
"I, I don't know either. I sneaked into the Gui Yuan Temple because I found a hidden tunnel behind the fake mountain, so I sneaked in to take a look, it was very dark inside, and there were also the faint sounds of many children crying, I was just curious at first, but then I found out that it was an underground gathering place, and there were a lot of people negotiating in a place similar to the living room. I seemed to have heard them say 'experiments', 'fake men', 'mutant', 'governor' and so on, and then I saw a few leather bags placed in the corner. "Just as I was about to climb out of Gui Yuan Temple, I was discovered, and they started chasing after me with all their might."
Ixeris praeparata's words set off raging waves in my heart!
Lotus Gang? mutant? The governor?
The two words formed a line in my mind, and then I thought of a possibility.
'Could it be … '
The Gui Yuan Temple's secret base was related to Zheng Chengshuang?
