Chapter 245: 244, walk right into the trap Chapter 245: 244, walk right into the trap “No… nothing…” Zhou Xiaoqi’s face turned deathly pale as she stepped back two steps. All she wanted now was to preserve the bracelet.
“Stretch out your hand.” Seeing Zhou Xiaoqi’s condition, Jason was certain that she must have something in her possession.
Zhou Xiaoqi shook her head and retreated once more until her back hit the wall and she stopped. Deep down she knew all her efforts were in vain, she could not protect it.
Jason’s eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a cold light as he rose to his feet and walked over to Zhou Xiaoqi, looking at her coldly, “Stretch out your hand. Don’t make me ask a third time.”
Zhou Xiaoqi knew she had no way out and tentatively extended her hand from behind her back.
Jason’s gaze fell on Zhou Xiaoqi’s hand, and seeing that she indeed had nothing in her grasp, he reached forward and pulled up her sleeve.
Zhou Xiaoqi closed her eyes in despair. She knew the bracelet was bound to be discovered, and once it was taken away, all that awaited her was a brutal beating.
Jason released Zhou Xiaoqi’s hand, pulled her aside, and looked at the place where she had been standing, “What’s with the guilty act?”
Zhou Xiaoqi opened her eyes and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, then looked at Jason with surprise. Could it be that he didn’t see the bracelet on her hand? If he had seen it, given his personality, he would have definitely asked where she got the bracelet from.
Jason, noting Zhou Xiaoqi’s glance towards her wrist, looked as well and saw nothing.
“I’m not guilty… I was afraid that the power would appear again and knock you flying,” Zhou Xiaoqi let out a sigh of relief. She could now be sure that the bracelet was invisible to Jason since she saw him check her wrist once more and yet, he still showed no reaction as before.
“Mhm.” Jason nodded and headed toward the restroom. It was no wonder Zhou Xiaoqi had that reaction, as anyone would be frightened by being inexplicably knocked flying.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived at Lundao Street, which is one of the most bustling streets in Country Y with luxury stores everywhere. At the entrance of some luxury stores, there were quite a few people lining up.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen walked towards a clothing store. This store wasn’t particularly unique among the myriad clothing stores, except for the distinctive clothes they sold.
“Welcome!” As soon as Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen entered the shop, they were greeted by a blonde, blue-eyed salesperson.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen went to the children’s clothing section where Song Yan Ning casually picked up a few dresses, “I’ll try these. Wait for me in the rest area.”
“Mhm.” Qin Yushen nodded, giving Song Yan Ning a look that said ‘be careful.’
Song Yan Ning smiled slightly and followed the salesperson to the fitting room.
Upon entering the fitting room and about to hang the clothes on the rack, Song Yan Ning suddenly felt emptiness beneath her feet and then fell into a large pit that had unexpectedly appeared. Before even entering the store, she had already used her Divine Sense to detect that there was a trap here and had been prepared for it. Her only concern at first was whether they would deem her appearance acceptable, as foreigners have different standards of beauty.
Qin Yushen furrowed his brows, his Divine Sense relentlessly following Song Yan Ning as she fell, and saw her landing in an iron cage, with a hint of bloodthirstiness flashing in his eyes.
After a while, Qin Yushen put down the glass of water in his hand and stood up to walk towards the fitting room, “Are you done trying it on?”
There was no response from inside, so Qin Yushen called out again, still getting no reply.
Seeing the salesperson approaching, Qin Yushen pointed anxiously at the fitting room, “My sister just went to try on clothes. I called her twice and got no response. Could you please help me check on her?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take a look.” The salesperson opened the door and walked in.
A long time passed, and the salesperson came out of the fitting room, smiling at Qin Yushen, “She’s fine, she wants you to come in and see if the dress looks good.” They don’t usually nab men, but this one was so handsome she couldn’t help wanting to make a move.
“Mhm.” Qin Yushen nodded and stepped into the fitting room.
“There’s nothing in…” Before he could finish speaking, he felt the floor give way beneath him, and then he plummeted down.
Song Yan Ning heard noises from above, scanned with her Divine Sense, and saw Qin Yushen falling. She was somewhat surprised. According to the information Qin Yushen had gathered, they seldom abducted men. It was probably because he was too striking that they decided to capture him. It seems that being overly attractive isn’t always a good thing.
Qin Yushen fell into the cage and saw Song Yan Ning, who was looking at him, and gave her a sly wink. He felt at ease being with her.
“Brother, I’m so scared, what is this place? It’s so dark!” Song Yan Ning put on an act of being terrified. It would be suspicious if she wasn’t afraid in such a situation.
“Don’t be afraid! Brother will protect you, I have a phone, I’ll call the police right now,” Qin Yushen said, his voice trembling to show that he was feigning calmness.
“The phone has no signal…” Qin Yushen looked at his phone, panic-stricken. No wonder so many people went missing without anyone calling the cops, there was a signal-jamming device here.
At that moment, footsteps approached.
Song Yan Ning shrank even more fearfully into Qin Yushen’s embrace, and from his white-knuckled grip and bloodless face, it was plain to see that he was very afraid too.
Two men approached the cage, appraised Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen inside, and chuckled, “There’s even a guy.”
One of the men opened the cage and pulled Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen out.
“Brother!” Song Yan Ning clutched Qin Yushen’s hand in fear, tears cascading down her cheeks.
“Don’t fear, brother is here, I will protect you,” Qin Yushen held Song Yan Ning’s hand tightly. Even though he knew this was an act, seeing Xiao Ning cry still pained his heart.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were quickly brought to a large truck, the men opened the back door, and then shoved Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen inside.
Screams of fear and crying filled the truck.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen saw that in the not so large truck, there were about twenty people, all huddled on the floor, terrified. Some were about their age, with more being adult women. Qin Yushen was the only man, truly an exception.
“Bang!” The back door of the truck closed, and the surroundings turned pitch black.
