"What is it? I'm not afraid of anything!" Zhao Ran said, barely managing to remain calm.
“Crocodile!” Jenny laughed wickedly.
"Crocodile, crocodile?" Zhao Ran exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right. It’s the crocodile pond. If you don’t behave, you’ll become their food. See that? What’s floating on top of that?” Jenny turned on the light and pointed to the murky water.
Something was floating on top, and it had color, but it was too murky to be discerned at first glance.
"What?" Zhao Ran exclaimed in alarm.
"Clothes!" Jenny said curtly.
"Clothes? Why clothes?" Zhao Ran had a bad feeling.
“Those are clothes left by a dead person! This was a disobedient person; Mr. Qiu ordered him to be thrown in to feed the fish. She was just like you, disobedient, and angered Mr. Qiu. She had only been here for a little over a day, and Mr. Qiu, in a fit of rage, fed her to the fish!” Jenny said casually. But in her mind, however, was the tragic scene from the night before last, after the girl had been violated by Mr. Qiu. In despair, the girl grabbed a fruit knife from the bedside table and tried to stab Mr. Qiu, but Jenny stopped her and subdued the girl.
She still remembers Qiu Luan's sinister eyes and cold expression. He snatched the fruit knife from the girl's hand, stabbed her hard, and then ordered her to be thrown into the crocodile pond to feed the fish.
For someone who rose to wealth and power during the Cultural Revolution by criticizing and persecuting others, punishing people was a habit. Back then, those he punished were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Whoever was powerful, he would punish them, label them as "stinking intellectuals," and force them to do menial tasks like shoveling manure, cleaning toilets, feeding cattle, living in cowsheds, and eating bran. He would even take the opportunity to abuse other people's wives and daughters. He committed all sorts of evil deeds, but his ruthless methods and business acumen allowed him to amass wealth and transform himself into a powerful and influential figure, a position he still holds today…
"Ugh—" Zhao Ran couldn't help but vomit.
"Are you scared now? If you're scared, then behave yourself and think about your own life!" Yanni continued to put pressure on Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran's expression became somewhat dejected and bewildered. He was helplessly pulled out by Yan Ni and walked step by step towards Qiu Luan's villa.
"Where did Miss Yan find such a beautiful girl? What a pity, that old bastard..."
"Shh... Do you want to die? Be careful, if he finds out, he'll feed you to the fish too..."
Both security guards shut their mouths and dared not say another word.
"When we go in, don't talk too much nonsense, don't struggle too much, just listen to me..." Yanni instructed Zhao Ran as they walked.
"..." Zhao Ran lowered her head, remaining silent, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. A deep sorrow welled up within her as she thought, "Li Yang, I... I can't let you down. I... I'm about to die. Will you remember me? Do you know how I died? You must remember to avenge me, I..."
As Zhao Ran walked along the way, he gradually made up his mind: he would protect himself even if it meant death, and he would not let that beast succeed. He would rather die fiercely than live cowardly.
We must protect our innocence, both for Li Yang and for ourselves.
“Actually, Mr. Qiu is very easy to talk to. He’s a good man, even doing charity work, and he’s especially kind to girls. If you’re smart, you can win his favor…” Yanni continued to use psychological tactics on Zhao Ran…
...
Outside the villa, about a mile away by the roadside.
Lei Xin and two members of the film crew kept their eyes fixed on the direction of Yongle Villa, their phones clutched in their hands, ready to receive Li Yang's orders at any moment.
Suddenly, lights appeared on the mainland. A convoy was rushing towards them at high speed, heading straight for them like lightning.
Suddenly, however, all the lights in the convoy went out, and it became completely silent, as if it had never existed at all.
"The headlights are off, they're getting closer..." Guan Ling saw the headlights go out and knew that Lin Feng was experienced and worried that the headlights would attract the attention and vigilance of the other party at night.
Sure enough, in just over ten minutes, I could hear the faint roar of a car engine and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground.
Three SUVs, in complete darkness and without sirens blaring, sped up in front of Guan Ling and Lei Xin.
The first car door opened, and a tall, imposing man in a police uniform stepped out. Who else could it be but Lin Feng?
The other vehicles remained silent; the three cars were simply parked quietly on the road, seemingly driverless. In reality, however, they were all filled with heavily armed police officers, elite members of the criminal investigation team.
"Captain, Guan Ling reporting for duty!" Guan Ling immediately went to greet him.
Lei Xin and the others were also taken aback, but showed a friendly attitude. After all, they were allies.
"Has the operation begun?" Lin Feng returned the greeting and asked directly without wasting any words.
"We haven't received any notification yet!" Guan Ling said.
"Hmm! How long has he been inside?" Lin Feng asked again.
“He went inside after he finished the phone call with you!” Guan Ling said.
"It's been quite a while, I reckon it's almost time. Keep an eye on it, it won't be long!" Lin Feng said, frowning.
"Yes!" Guan Ling nodded, having no doubt about Lin Feng's experience and skill.
A moment later, Lin Feng's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from a police officer from the Municipal Public Security Bureau who was in charge of handling 110 emergency calls.
"Hello, where do I call the police?" Lin Feng asked in a formulaic manner, even though he had a premonition.
Chapter 673: Li Yang, Save Me
"It's a very strange call. It's from some kind of mountain villa near Xishan in the western suburbs..." the dispatcher said, sounding puzzled.
"I understand," Lin Feng said before hanging up the phone.
A smile crept across his lips as he thought to himself, "Li Yang is quite cunning. He knew to dial 110 instead of his personal number, thus avoiding a lot of trouble and preventing others from saying that they conspired to commit this crime together."
Their desired outcome was that Li Yang received intelligence that his girlfriend had been kidnapped, and after reporting it to the police, he immediately rushed to the scene. Lin Feng and his team, on the other hand, responded to the police after receiving the report, without any prior contact or collusion with Li Yang. This was clearly a serious crime…
"Let's go!" Lin Feng ordered, and everyone got back into the car, including Guan Ling. This time, the blue siren blared, the headlights blared, and the car swaggered straight in...
"Team leader, what are we doing?" asked Lei Xin, a member of the Shadow Team.
"We'll be the audience!" Lei Xin smiled mysteriously.
