Chapter 142: Not a Single One Left
The man with dreadlocks sneered after hearing this, and his laughter was full of sarcasm and contempt.
He pressed the electric baton against Xia Wan'er's chin, forcing her to lift her chin with such force.
"Just you? We brothers don't even care about you."
They don't even bother to play with the women sent by the boss's enemies.
It's possible that Xia Wan'er is carrying some disease and might infect them.
What's more, Xia Wan'er doesn't actually look that good.
They had seen so many beautiful women in the Colosseum.
The more he thought about it, the more the man with dreadlocks felt that Xia Wan'er in front of him was dirty, and maybe there was some unknown virus on her skin.
"Put on gloves! Don't touch her!" the man with dreadlocks ordered.
The other three followed the order, took out a disposable glove from their pockets, and put it on carefully, as if Xia Wan'er was the source of some infectious disease.
Then, they carried Xia Wan'er roughly into a dim dark room like a pig to be slaughtered, and threw her in mercilessly.
There was no light in the small dark room, only darkness and fear. Xia Wan'er's screams echoed in the room, but were soon drowned out by the noise outside.
……
On a remote dirt road in Fenglin Village.
Lu Chengyuan stood next to a red Maserati, examining the accident scene with sharp eyes.
Special Assistant Ji An efficiently arranged other subordinates to disperse into Fenglin Village to conduct visits and investigations and inquire about any possible clues.
Lu Chengyuan came to Guangcheng just to show off in front of Xia Qingluo, so naturally he knew Xia Qingluo's whereabouts very well.
Therefore, he had noticed Xia Qingluo's abnormality today a long time ago.
The crew's filming usually does not exceed 10 o'clock in the evening, and Xia Qingluo is a good actor and can always complete the filming tasks efficiently.
In most cases, Xia Qingluo could return to the hotel before six o'clock, or go to Lingxiao Peak to practice martial arts.
Usually, this time is when Lu Chengyuan shows off his reputation and schemes with his rivals.
However, today, until eight o'clock, Xia Qingluo had not appeared either at Lingxiao Peak or in the hotel.
What made Lu Chengyuan feel even more coincidental was that his company suddenly had many urgent matters to deal with tonight.
Negotiations with partners, signing of important contracts, adjustments to market strategies, etc. all require him to personally step in to solve problems.
Lu Chengyuan's intuition told him that all this was not accidental.
Something might have happened to Xia Qingluo, and the Shadow Society was involved.
In his previous life, the murderers of his parents were the Shadow Society.
The person behind Xia Wan'er is also the Shadow Society, which means it was the Shadow Society that sent people to kill Xia Qingluo.
But in this life, everything happened ten years earlier.
Lu Chengyuan immediately dispatched all his resources and personnel to search for Xia Qingluo's whereabouts throughout Guangcheng.
He found the Galaxy Restaurant, and by looking through surveillance videos, he gradually investigated and finally tracked down the path to Maple Leaf Village.
As for the so-called president of the Guangcheng branch, he was pretended to be Lin Feng.
If he was being monitored by the Shadow Society, he would have to hide his tracks.
Lu Chengyuan put on pure white gloves to prevent his fingerprints from damaging the scene, and opened the door of the red Maserati.
On the passenger seat, a toy bag shaped like a hamburger caught Lu Chengyuan's sight, causing his heart to suddenly tighten, as if it was being held tightly by an invisible hand.
Xia Qingluo seldom carries those big-brand bags on weekdays. She only carries them occasionally when attending dinner parties or wearing a dress.
When she wears casual clothes, her favorite thing to do is to carry this kind of cute cartoon bag.
Lu Chengyuan's expression suddenly became solemn, as if a layer of haze was covering his face.
He walked forward slowly, and the Maserati stopped in the middle of the road. There were obvious brake marks on the ground, but the front of the car was not damaged.
There should have been a car blocking the way in front, but the Maserati braked in time and did not hit that car.
In fact, if the car owner had quickly reversed, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but he did not do so.
Before coming, Lu Chengyuan went to the Galaxy Hotel and asked the clerk there, and learned that Xia Qingluo came with Xia Wan'er.
Lu Chengyuan looked around again but did not find any signs of a fight.
He has been looking for Xia Qingluo for morning exercises every morning recently. He knows Xia Qingluo's current fighting ability very well. If he encounters a robbery by thugs, Xia Qingluo can solve it by himself and there is no way he will not resist.
Unless Xia Qingluo encountered a more difficult problem.
In the previous life, the person who killed Xia Qingluo was Xia Wan'er, but Xia Qingluo was reborn and it was impossible for him to be unguarded against Xia Wan'er.
Could it be that Xia Qingluo walked into a trap?
Lu Chengyuan knew Xia Qingluo's character too well. She was very persistent in everything she did and would jump in as long as she found the slightest clue.
She must have done this in order to investigate the person behind Xia Wan'er.
Lu Chengyuan slapped his forehead hard, feeling extremely regretful.
Perhaps he should confess everything to Xia Qingluo, confess that he was reborn, and that he knew the person behind Xia Wan'er was the Shadow Society, and that they could work together to find traces of the Shadow Society.
In this way, Xia Qingluo would not act rashly alone.
Compared to Xia Qingluo's indifference when she learned that he was reborn, her life was the most important.
Ji An was very efficient. He quickly asked the villagers about the situation and ran back to report:
"Boss, an old man said that when he came back from farming, he saw a van passing through the village. The village is remote and there are few outsiders. It is likely that the van took Miss Jiang away."
Lu Chengyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and that cold gaze seemed to freeze the air around him: "Continue investigating along the route of the van."
However, there is little hope for such an investigation.
If the van keeps driving through the village and avoids all surveillance, it will be difficult to detect it.
Lu Chengyuan recalled the dark basement he had seen in his previous life. His body tensed up involuntarily, and the air around him seemed to become colder because of his breath.
He never believed in God, but at this time he could only pray that God would not play such a joke on him.
"Send half of the people to search the nearby villages and basements, and expand the search area to include the villages in the suburbs of Guangcheng."
After a pause, Lu Chengyuan considered that this life might change because of Xia Qingluo's behavior, and said cautiously:
"The other half will check how many underground forces there are in Guangcheng."
"If we don't find Xia Qingluo, we'll blow them all up, leaving no one alive."
Ji An's eyes widened slightly, and the shock that surged in his heart was like a surging tide.
Boss, this is for Miss Xia, to clean up Guangcheng...
Ji An actually understood the purpose of Lu Chengyuan's doing this.
Since Shadow would take action in Guangcheng, they must have underground forces in Guangcheng.
If all the underground forces in Guangcheng are blown up, there will always be one force belonging to the Shadow Society.
The shadow will be distracted and perhaps give Miss Xia a chance of survival.
However, Ji An also knew that the price would be very high.
Whether it is the mysterious and powerful Shadow Society or the various complex underground forces in the country, once this plan is implemented, they may be offended.
