53 -53: Lan Tingting Unexpectedly Disappears
“Xiang Yu, have you really agreed?” Sheng Wantao looked at Xiang Yu with skepticism, aware that everyone here knew this was one of Yan Bin’s tricks.
“I have agreed,” Xiang Yu said calmly.
“Alright then, I’ll put it this way.
The bet between you two is officially on.
Since you dare to gamble, you should know the principle of honoring a bet.
Before this, if either of you starts a fight, don’t blame me for not being nice.
Even if it costs me everything, I’ll take him down,” Sheng Wantao said coldly, glancing at Yan Bin.
In his view, Xiang Yu would never initiate a fight with Yan Bin; he made these statements to warn Yan Bin.
Within a month, he could defeat Xiang Yu in the ring, but he couldn’t resort to underhanded tactics.
He also felt a bit of regret; Xiang Yu was once a free money-making machine, and now, there was only a month of life in him.
Just then, Tie Zhuzi’s call came in unexpectedly.
“Bro Yu, what’s going on?
I see people everywhere outside, and they’re all carrying weapons?” Tie Zhuzi sounded anxious, his first thought being that Xiang Yu had provoked someone again, and now they were here for revenge.
“Zhuzi, don’t worry, it’s nothing,” Xiang Yu reassured him calmly, “How’s the investigation I asked you to do going?”
“Bro Yu, something might have happened to Sister Tingting,” Tie Zhuzi tried to keep his voice steady.
“What happened?” Xiang Yu’s face instantly turned icy; all calmness was gone, “Where are you now?
I’m coming over.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said, “I don’t care who it is, if anyone dares to play dirty and touch the people around me, I will skin them alive.”
Xiang Yu didn’t point any fingers, but his first suspicion was Yan Bin.
They had never seen Xiang Yu this serious; they felt a dense murderous aura, as if the person standing in front of them was not a man, but a bloodless killing devil.
Involuntarily, everyone took a step back, and just then, Shi Jian suddenly entered and grabbed Xiang Yu’s arm.
Xiang Yu didn’t say much, nodded to Shi Jian, then headed outside without paying attention to anyone else, and Shi Jian hurriedly followed behind him.
As they reached the gate, a crowd of people suddenly surrounded Xiang Yu and his companions. freёnovelkiss.com
Xiang Yu fired a shot into the sky and said, “Step aside if you don’t want to die.” His indifferent and frosty voice made the onlookers tremble involuntarily; such was his imposing presence.
The crowd in front consciously cleared a path, and no one dared to speak.
Seeing Xiang Yu emerge from a distance, Tie Zhuzi quickly ran over.
“Bro Yu, we’ve searched everywhere but found no trace of Sister Tingting.
Her friends at the bar were also asked, but nobody has seen her.
An old lady said she saw a few people get out of a car last night, grab a young girl, and drive away.”
“Do you know who did it?” Xiang Yu was now fairly certain that Lan Tingting had been kidnapped.
“We still don’t know yet; my brothers are investigating,” Tie Zhuzi said, frowning, clearly without any leads yet.
Just then, several bosses came down one after another.
Seeing their bosses arriving, the people below hurriedly came forward to protect them.
The bosses didn’t say much and directly got into their cars and left.
Sheng Wantao watched Xiang Yu from a distance.
He originally wanted to say something to Xiang Yu, but in the end, he too got in the car and left.
Yan Bin sat in his car, pulled up in front of Xiang Yu, and said with a sneer, “Xiang Yu, enjoy your life while you can, you have less than a month to live.” With that, he and his men hurriedly left.
“Let’s take this upstairs.” Xiang Yu knew worrying wouldn’t help and then turned to head upstairs.
Once in Xiang Yu’s office and seated, Fang Kuohai and Fang Rong did not leave, but instead sat down as well.
“According to the time mentioned by the old lady, she must have been kidnapped last night after she left here.
It was a black sedan,” Tie Zhuzi said.
“What do you guys think?” Xiang Yu tried to calm himself down, pondering who would target Lan Tingting.
At first, he suspected Yan Bin, but after calming down, he realized it was unlikely.
Yan Bin planned to finish him off tonight, so it made no sense for him to play dirty and capture a woman.
So, who else would want to target him?
Xiang Yu thought for a while but couldn’t figure out who it was.
Fang Kuohai suddenly said, “I heard recently that a number of girls have been disappearing without any apparent reason.
There’s talk of an underground organization.
They specialize in abducting young and beautiful girls, forcing them into prostitution.
Some are even selected for their beauty to be given as prizes at events.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu suddenly understood.
The other party hadn’t come for him, but for Lan Tingting’s beauty.
At that thought, he suddenly stood up and walked outside.
When Xiang Yu arrived at Ning Xiaolu’s office downstairs and pushed the door open, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.
Ning Xiaolu was still sitting in her office as if waiting for something, and she showed no surprise when Xiang Yu entered.
“Lan Tingting has not been found yet,” Xiang Yu said as he sat opposite her, vaguely feeling that Ning Xiaolu must know something.
“Three years ago, right after I graduated from college,” Ning Xiaolu began, recalling her memories without interruption from Xiang Yu.
“That day, I was walking home when suddenly a car stopped behind me.
Three people got out, dragged me into the car, and took me away…”
Ning Xiaolu’s face was filled with pain, as if recalling unbearable memories.
“We were locked in a small dark room; the place must have been far away, about a two-hour drive on uneven roads.
Eventually, a group of people came.
They picked out individuals, who were then taken away as prizes for others.
These people were barbaric, and you could smell the stench of blood on them.
Others were taken to hotels to sell themselves and were brought back at night…”
Ning Xiaolu stopped there and looked at Xiang Yu, not continuing.
As for how she escaped and the scar on her neck, she didn’t elaborate.
The information she provided Xiang Yu was all that she had.
“Thank you!” Xiang Yu nodded, stood up, and said.
This information was crucial for him, and he needed to sort it out immediately.
“You need to hurry, or it will be too late,” Ning Xiaolu reminded.
Xiang Yu didn’t respond and turned back to his own office.
By that time, Fang Kuohai had already left with Fang Rong, leaving only Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi anxiously waiting in the room.
When the two saw Xiang Yu return, they promptly stood up but did not speak.
Sitting there, Xiang Yu thought about Ning Xiaolu’s words: barbaric, the stench of blood, prizes.
What place could that be?
As for the hotels, that was easy to guess; clearly, they had been forced to sell themselves there…
