Chapter 49: Forty-eight, Captured
Chapter 49: Forty-eight, Captured
Luo Shu had just stepped out of the courtyard when a little boy ran towards her.
“Sister, a man asked me to give this to you.” The boy spoke with candy in his mouth, his words murky, as he handed Luo Shu a slip of paper.
Luo Shu took the note, glanced at the content on the paper, and slipped it into her pocket. The other party knew her itinerary so well, it seemed someone was secretly monitoring her.
Scanning her surroundings, Luo Shu withdrew her gaze and hid the chill in her eyes, walking towards the location agreed upon in the note. She was quite eager to see what the other party had in store for her.
The agreed location was an abandoned cattle shed on the outskirts, desolate with few people ever visiting.
As Luo Shu pushed open the wooden door of the cattle shed, she immediately felt danger and hastily retreated two steps back.
With a swift gust of wind, a thick wooden stick whizzed past in front of Luo Shu’s eyes.

The burly man who had attempted the sneak attack was somewhat surprised at his miss, but quickly regaining composure, he swung the wooden stick at Luo Shu again.
Luo Shu sidestepped, dodging the wooden stick, and swiftly chopped out with her hand in a knife-like strike. Taking advantage of the moment the burly man’s hand went numb, she snatched the wooden stick and swung it forcefully, hitting the man on the head.
The burly man’s eyes rolled back, he swayed for a moment, then collapsed to the ground unconscious.
“Clap clap clap!” Suddenly, applause broke out.
Luo Shu looked up to see a man in a black, mandarin collar suit with a horrific scar on his face, smiling coldly at her.
“Where is my sister?” Luo Shu asked in a calm voice.
The Scarred Man smirked, “You’re quite brave indeed, but you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have.”
“Where is my sister?” Luo Shu asked again, her voice turning colder.
“I sold your sister. If you want to see her, I can send you to her,” the Scarred Man said, drawing out a dagger from his waistband and toying with it in his hand. He was in the human trafficking business. The person who asked him to kidnap Luo Shan had given him a hefty sum of money, demanding that he sell the Luo sisters to a remote mountain area, preferably as shared wives, so they could suffer to the extreme.
Luo Shu narrowed her eyes, a bone-chilling light emanating from them. She stepped forward, staring intently at the Scarred Man, “Where is she now?”
The Scarred Man let out a cold huff, “What’s the rush? Once I take you there, you’ll be able to see her. Grab her,” he ordered.
As the Scarred Man finished speaking, more than a dozen figures emerged from the haystack nearby, closing in on Luo Shu.
“I’ve heard you know kung fu; I’m going to see just how good you are today,” said the Scarred Man, flicking the dagger in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a cold and threatening light.
Luo Shu’s lips curved coldly, her gaze as sharp as cold iron. With a quick movement, she swung the wooden stick, attacking the encroaching group. From their movements, it was clear they were trained. In the past, she would have been at a disadvantage, but now that she had developed her Inner Qi, she was not afraid of them.
Watching his men being pushed back, the Scarred Man raised an eyebrow in surprise, a bloodthirsty smile curling at his lips. He stashed away the dagger and pulled out a gun from his bosom, pointing it at Luo Shu, “Make one more move, and don’t blame my gun for being blind.”
Seeing the gun in the Scarred Man’s hand, Luo Shu ceased her movements. No matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t stop a bullet.
“Tie her up,” the Scarred Man commanded his subordinates.
Two underlings hastily came forward and skillfully tied up Luo Shu with ropes.
“Boss, something’s wrong! There are lots of public security officers outside.” An underling who had been on lookout outside rushed in, panicked.
The Scarred Man looked at Luo Shu viciously, “Did you tip off the authorities?” He had clearly sent people to watch her; how could she possibly have had the chance to alert the authorities?
“So what if I did?” Luo Shu sneered. It had been all too easy for her to shake off those who were tailing her. The reason why the public security officers arrived so quickly was because she had been leaving signs along the way.
Given her godmother’s personality, after she left, she would definitely have called her godfather. Once he got the news, he would certainly call the nearest Public Security Office immediately. With the signs she had left, it wouldn’t be hard for them to find this place.
“You damn woman! How dare you trick me. Let’s go!” The Scarred Man waved his hand at his men and pulled Luo Shu, running out through the back door of the cattle shed.
There was a small river behind the cattle shed; to be on the safe side, the Scarred Man had already arranged a boat by the riverbank.
Dragging Luo Shu onto the boat, the Scarred Man hurriedly ordered his men to set sail.
Once the boat reached the middle of the river, the Scarred Man raised his hand and slapped Luo Shu hard, saying viciously, “No matter how tough you are, you still ended up in my hands. You wanted to see your sister, didn’t you? I’m going to take you to her now, and then I’ll sell you both into the mountains.”
Luo Shu’s face immediately swelled up, and she looked coldly at the Scarred Man, her pale lips tightly drawn, conveying a deadly seriousness and a chilling coldness. She would remember this slap, and one day she would get her revenge, twofold.
“Still glaring at me? I’ll see just how long you can keep up your act,” the Scarred Man sneered and took out a small transparent bottle filled with a white liquid from his pocket, passing it to a subordinate, “Give her this to drink.”
“Yes!” The underling took the small bottle, opened the cap, and looked at Luo Shu with a sinister smile, “After you take this, you’ll become obedient.” He then signalled to another man nearby.
The man came over with a laugh, grabbed Luo Shu’s chin, and forced her mouth open.
The one holding the medicine poured the contents of the small bottle directly into Luo Shu’s mouth.
A bitter taste followed by the medicine’s heaviness enveloped Luo Shu’s nostrils, and she instantly recognized that the bottle contained a medicine that could render a person completely weak.
It wasn’t until the entire bottle was emptied that the underling finally released Luo Shu.
“Cough cough cough…” Luo Shu coughed forcefully a few times, which somewhat relieved the feeling.
The small boat sailed on the river until it became dark before finally stopping.
Luo Shu was pulled off the boat by someone and dragged into a rundown courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, the person shoved Luo Shu into one of the rooms and slammed the door shut with a “bang!”
Darkness enveloped her; the sobbing of women continuously echoed in her ears. Luo Shu looked around and saw that, besides her, the room contained about a dozen girls of a similar age to herself. She had already developed her Inner Qi and had no problem with night vision.
Her gaze swept over the faces of the dozen girls, and Luo Shu quickly spotted Luo Shan curled up in a corner, “Xiao Shan.”
Luo Shan’s mouth was gagged and she couldn’t speak. Hearing Luo Shu call her, disbelief filled her eyes, “Mmph…” How could her sister be here? It must be an illusion.
“It’s me, don’t be afraid,” Luo Shu softly comforted. She contemplated in her mind how they might escape.
