"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng asked anxiously.
Lin Momo on the other end of the phone just made some low-pitched noises, making it impossible to understand what she was saying.
Lin Cheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked when he thought of something, "Is it inconvenient to talk?"
"If it's yes, knock on the phone once. If it's no, knock twice."
Lin Momo tapped her phone.
"Are you in trouble or danger?" Lin Cheng asked again.
Lin Momo tapped the phone again.
Lin Cheng frowned even deeper, and then asked: "Do you know where I am?"
This time, Lin Momo tapped the phone twice.
—I don’t know where this place is.
Last night, Grandma Zhang next door suddenly fell and broke her head. Liu Cuifang and several other neighbors helped send Grandma Zhang to the hospital, leaving Lin Momo alone to look after the house.
Later, Zhang Xiaoqiang came and pulled Lin Momo up without saying anything.
Lin Momo was put into a woven bag by Zhang Xiaoqiang and taken out of the house.
Because her mouth was sealed, her hands and feet were tied, and she was put in a woven bag, Lin Momo couldn't see the situation outside. She just vaguely felt that she was thrown onto a hard car board.
In the subsequent bumpy ride, Lin Momo gradually became exhausted and passed out. When she woke up again, she was already in an unfamiliar room. The room was dark and she couldn't see the surroundings clearly.
Lin Momo just knew that no one would come in, so she turned on the light of her mobile phone to look at it, but she didn't understand what the other party said.
could only curl up in the corner in fear.
Fortunately, the mobile phone that Lin Cheng gave her had been hidden by Lin Momo in a small bag inside the clothes that her grandmother had sewed for her. During the whole process, it was not discovered by anyone.
While no one was in the room, Lin Momo secretly called the police.
Unfortunately, before the voice prompt on the phone could finish, someone else walked into the room and Lin Momo had to hide her phone again.
The second time, Lin Momo subconsciously thought of Lin Cheng and dialed the number that was already memorized in her mind.
"Dad, I'm scared..." Lin Momo whispered.
Hearing the girl's timid voice, Lin Cheng felt even more nervous.
"Don't be afraid, I'll come to you right away." Lin Cheng said soothingly.
"Turn your phone to silent mode and hide it. Don't let anyone find you and don't hang up." Lin Cheng instructed.
Lin Momo tapped the phone lightly to indicate that she understood.
At this moment, there was another "bang" at the door. Lin Momo was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly hid her phone.
The man was tall and took a picture of the room with his mobile phone and finally found where Lin Momo was.
"Tsk, there's another one in this room."
The man said, and shouted to Lin Momo again: "Hey! You, come here!"
Lin Momo didn't move and shrank towards the corner again.
The other party seemed to have lost his patience. He walked into the room, grabbed Lin Momo's clothes, and dragged Lin Momo out of the room.
Lin Momo struggled, but her strength was of no use at all.
Soon, Lin Momo was taken to another room by the man.
The house is surrounded by walls on all four sides, much like a basement.
In the room, besides Lin Momo, there were about ten other little girls, some older than her and some younger than her.
These girls also seemed confused and terrified about everything around them.
But under the intimidation of the fat man in the lead, everyone just huddled together, trembling, and dared not make a sound.
At this moment, the walkie-talkie in the fat man's hand rang.
Another man's voice came from the other end of the intercom, questioning: "Fatty, why aren't you ready yet? The guests have urged us several times!"
"Hurry, hurry ...
After putting down the intercom, the fat man shouted to the other men in the room: "Hurry up, feed them!"
After hearing the man's order, several of his young men acted together and force-fed a pink pill into the mouths of a dozen girls at the scene.
If anyone does not cooperate, they will be slapped in the face.
When it came to Lin Momo, she did not resist and made a swallowing motion under the man's gaze.
Lin Momo waited until no one noticed her before spitting out the pill and hiding it in her sleeve.
"Okay, now everything is done. Send it over when it's done. Don't waste time." said the fat man.
Lin Momo and a dozen other girls were taken to another place by a few young men.
On the way, a girl suddenly fell down.
Seeing this, one of the young men picked up the girl, pushed her from behind, and motioned her to keep moving forward.
The girl did not cry, but followed the young man's instructions blankly and continued to move forward in a trance.
Soon, more and more girls began to walk unsteadily and their faces began to look numb and empty.
The young men seemed to be accustomed to such strange phenomena and pushed the girls forward.
If they encounter someone who falls to the ground and cannot walk, several people will drag the person and continue walking.
Seeing this, Lin Momo probably guessed that it might be the effect of the drug she had taken before. In order not to be discovered, Lin Momo could only hold the phone hidden in her clothes tightly, and followed the example of others, burying her head and staggering forward.
…
On this side, Lin Cheng kept the phone to his ear.
Chen Yu on the side didn't know what was said on the phone, but he could see that Lin Cheng's face was now colder than ice.
"Brother Cheng, has something happened to Lin Momo?" Chen Yu asked carefully.
Lin Cheng didn't pay any attention to him. He just changed his phone and made another call.
The call was connected quickly.
"Young Master."
"Check the location of my work phone, immediately." Lin Cheng ordered.
Hearing the look and nervousness in Lin Cheng's voice, the person on the other end of the phone did not dare to delay and quickly found the approximate location of the phone.
One of his men sent a screenshot of the location, and from the screenshot it can be roughly seen that the phone was located near Zhonglin Street.
Lin Cheng didn't waste any time, took the car keys and went out.
Chen Yu, who was standing by, was confused when he saw this, but he could only catch up with Lin Cheng in a hurry and go out together.
Lin Cheng got in the car and rushed towards the location.
The sudden acceleration scared Chen Yu so much that he leaned back and quickly fastened his seat belt.
At this moment, Lin Cheng's cell phone rang. It was someone from the Lin family calling.
Lin Cheng answered the phone.
"Master, I've found out. The specific location is No. 198 Zhonglin Street, Moonlight Poetry Society." said the person on the other end of the phone.
"I know." Lin Cheng chatted a few more words on the phone and sped up towards the destination.
Chen Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a look of confusion on his face.
—Moonlight Poetry Gathering? What does that mean? Is Lin Momo at the Moonlight Poetry Gathering
Chen Yu thought to himself, but he was a little puzzled.
He knew that the place called "Moonlight Poetry Club" was one of the most high-end clubs in City C. To put it bluntly, it was a place for some rich people to drink alcohol, tea, coffee and have fun. The club adopted a membership system, and people without a certain status and financial resources could not even enter the door.
Chen Yu followed Lin Cheng to the Moonlight Poetry Meeting, confused.
Lin Cheng parked the car directly in front of the gate of the Moonlight Poetry Festival.
The receptionist at the door came forward with a flattering look on his face to help Lin Cheng park the car, but was frightened by Lin Cheng's look and took a few steps back.
At this time, several people from the Lin family also rushed to the scene.
The leader is called Wang Zhou. He has a special job in the Lin family and is responsible for handling matters other than company affairs.
"Young Master." Wang Zhou walked behind Lin Cheng, still looking nervous.
On the way here, they had already roughly figured out what had happened.
His subordinates were also investigating the matter of Lin Cheng's youth and his parent-child relationship with Lin Momo, so Wang Zhou was very clear about how much Mr. Lin valued Lin Momo.
As a result, Lin Momo actually had an accident under such attention...
"Where is the person? Have you found him?" Lin Cheng asked without any nonsense.
Wang Zhou's face tensed and he replied, "Not yet."
The incident happened suddenly, and the situation in the 'Moonlight Poetry Meeting' was too complicated. It was not easy to find Lin Momo there.
"However, Zhang Xiaoqiang has been found." Wang Zhou said.
"Where?"
"It's in the warehouse at the back."
…
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang was sitting next to the warehouse behind the "Moonlight Poetry Club", in a material room for the club staff to take a break, smoking leisurely.
Sitting opposite Zhang Xiaoqiang was a yellow-haired guy.
This man was a subordinate of the fat man in the club before, but he was not completely an employee of the "Moonlight Poetry Society".
Usually, he was only responsible for some matchmaking, finding "sources of goods" for Fatty and attracting "business".
After finishing a cigarette, the yellow-haired man took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
After taking the envelope, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt its thickness and his face darkened.
"Why is it only this little?! Didn't we agree on 10,000 yuan?!" There were only 6,000 yuan at most in this envelope.
Huang Mao glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang calmly and explained, "Six thousand is not a small amount. It is considered the highest price in the market."
After that, Huang Mao patted Zhang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't think it's too little. Anyway, it won't be just this time. There will be many opportunities in the future, and you will definitely make more money."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang spat: "Don't fool me, don't think I don't know, this job makes a lot of money the first time, and it's not worth anything after that."
"Besides, this one I sent you has the face of a little celebrity. Please think about it again. You should at least give me ten thousand!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said unwillingly.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had long planned to use Lin Momo to make some money.
Before Lin Momo became famous, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to ask for so much money.
But the show "Living with Dad" suddenly became popular.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little surprised to suddenly see Lin Momo on TV. He went to ask what that thing was, but the other party refused to tell him.
But Zhang Xiaoqiang was very sure that the one on TV was Lin Momo.
Because he was afraid that no one would believe him, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not dare to tell people directly that Lin Momo was the one on TV, so he only said that Lin Momo looked like the children of celebrities on TV, hoping to get a good price for her.
In order to get Lin Momo out, Zhang Xiaoqiang deliberately poured oil in the corridor, hoping that the evil creature would fall and go directly to the hospital.
As a result, an accident happened. Liu Cuifang did not fall, but the lady next door did.
However, Zhang Xiaoqiang did achieve his ultimate goal.
At this point, seeing that Huang Mao was refusing to give in, Zhang Xiaoqiang became anxious. He gritted his teeth, made a gesture, and said, "Then it's two thousand. No matter what, give me another two thousand!"
Huang Mao glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang, took out five red bills from his pocket and handed them to him: "Five hundred, no more is possible."
"this… "
Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang was hesitating, the door of the material room was suddenly opened.
Huangmao and Zhang Xiaoqiang were both shocked when they saw the people coming in. Before they could react, they were controlled by the people brought by Lin Cheng.
"What's going on? Let me go!" Zhang Xiaoqiang struggled and shouted. The more he struggled, the tighter the people behind him controlled him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang got scared and started begging for mercy: "Brother, I don't know you guys, is there any misunderstanding?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked up and said.
The moment he saw Lin Cheng, Zhang Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned: at first he just felt that he looked familiar, and the next second, Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes suddenly widened.
"You, it's you!" Zhang Xiaoqiang recognized Lin Cheng: Isn't this the star who recorded the show with Lin Momo on TV
Lin Cheng did not look at Zhang Xiaoqiang, but pointed at him and asked the yellow-haired man beside him: "Where is the girl he sent?"
"Girl? What girl? I don't know."
Huangmao was pretending to be stupid at first.
Lin Cheng gave his men a look.
The men who were holding Zhang Xiaoqiang down received the order and exerted force with their hands. The next second, they heard the sound of Zhang Xiaoqiang's bones being dislocated.
“Ahhh!”
Zhang Xiaoqiang's screams made Huangmao here feel terrified.
"I, I really don't know. This is an adult club and children are not allowed in." The yellow-haired man explained with a sad face.
Lin Cheng didn't say anything, but signaled his men to continue.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoqiang's other arm was not spared.
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's screams like a pig being slaughtered, this time, Huangmao was completely scared.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, let me go, I'll tell you everything I know!" said the yellow-haired man.
He was afraid that if he didn't say anything, he would be the next person to have his arm removed.
"Where is the person?" Lin Cheng asked.
"It's in the premium members area downstairs." The yellow-haired man pointed to the area below and said.
"lead the way."
"This..." Huang Mao hesitated, and said with embarrassment: "There are too many senior member rooms downstairs, I don't know which one it is."
Huangmao was still wanting to talk nonsense, but then he received a phone call.
Hearing the conversation on the phone, Huangmao's face suddenly changed, and when he looked at Lin Cheng, he saw a look of panic on his face.
"Lead the way." Lin Cheng said again.
"Okay, okay." This time, Huangmao didn't dare to play it safe again, and obediently took Lin Cheng and his group to the senior membership area on the basement floor of the club.
"I heard from Fatty before that the guest this time seems to be in room 'Winding Path'," Huangmao explained.
Perhaps for the sake of concealment, the layout of the club's underground floor was very complicated. Huangmao led everyone downstairs and turned several corners before finally arriving at a private room at the back.
"It should be here." The yellow-haired man pointed at the door and said to Lin Cheng and his group.
Lin Cheng stopped talking nonsense, threw away the yellow-haired man, and walked straight to the door.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
The room was very spacious, decorated with European-style sofas, coffee tables, wine racks, etc. Six or seven well-dressed middle-aged men were sitting on the sofa, holding wine glasses and chatting and laughing.
In front of them, under their feet, there was a huge iron cage.
This iron cage is called "fish pond" by the people here.
A dozen girls about the same age as Lin Momo were crowded together in the iron cage, and a row of screens on the top were filming the girls' situations in the cages from different angles.
"What a beast! Pervert!" Seeing the scene in front of him, even the merciless Chen Yu couldn't help but curse.
Lin Cheng didn't say anything and walked straight into the room.
When the men in the room saw someone breaking in, they were startled at first, then they reacted and stood up with angry looks on their faces.
"Who are you! Don't you know where this is? How dare you break in! Are you looking for death?!" As if they were afraid of their "privacy" being exposed, several men shouted at Lin Cheng in frustration, pretending to let the club staff teach Lin Cheng a lesson.
However, when they saw Lin Cheng's men coming in behind them, the people in the room got scared and hurriedly picked up their things and prepared to leave.
How could Lin Cheng give them this opportunity
Lin Cheng handed over Wang Zhou for a while.
Soon, several people in the house were controlled by Lin Cheng's men.
Outside the door, several club staff members wanted to take action, but they did not dare to act rashly because they had received orders from their superiors.
Lin Cheng didn't bother with the people here anymore and walked straight to the cage over there.
When he walked to the cage, Lin Cheng saw Lin Momo curled up in the corner of the cage at first sight.
The other girls in the cage seemed to have lost their normal consciousness at this time. They looked dazed and did not seem to be afraid.
Although Lin Momo behaved the same way as the other girls, Lin Cheng was still able to keenly notice that her body was shaking with fear.
Lin Cheng's breathing stagnated.
"Open it!" Lin Cheng growled.
Lin Cheng's move startled everyone at the scene.
Not only the people in the club, but even Wang Zhou and others looked at Lin Cheng in surprise: it seemed like the first time they saw Lin Cheng so angry.
A staff member came over, controlled the cage to rise, and then opened the cage tremblingly.
Lin Momo, who was hiding in the corner, also saw Lin Cheng at this time.
Before Lin Cheng arrived, he had been trying to remind himself to stay calm.
It was not until the moment she saw Lin Cheng that Lin Momo finally could not help it and threw herself on Lin Cheng and burst into tears.
"dad… "
