Chapter 1485: Chapter 1478: Mystical Tracks (12)

At the same moment, inside a warehouse.

Lu Weixi was awakened by the sound of a door opening, her eyes opened to find her vision obscured by a strip of cloth, and there was also a cloth stuffed in her mouth.

She felt that her hands were tied behind her back to a wooden stool, and when she woke up, the stool creaked. This noise also drew the attention of others in the room. A middle-aged man’s voice with a non-local accent chuckled: "This woman really has nerve, she even managed to take a nap."

Lu Weixi pursed her lips, staying silent. She had been forced into a van at knifepoint last night. As soon as she got in, someone covered her mouth and nose; after smelling a sweet scent, she had completely lost consciousness until now.

She didn’t dare to move recklessly, just shifted slightly to feel the extent of her situation. As it stood, her hands were tied behind her, her feet were bound, and she was securely tied to the stool. Her mouth was gagged, her eyes were blindfolded, and two men were guarding her on one side. The only upside was that she wasn’t hurt.

The current problem was, why was she kidnapped? Was it for love, for money, or for revenge?

Though her eyes were covered with cloth, she could still tell from the light that it was daytime. There were cameras everywhere outside, and she, being a pregnant woman, could not go far, so she guessed she was still in Yan City.

It seemed that these two men were probably not in charge, and they hadn’t mistreated her. It was clear that keeping her alive was still useful to them. Since she was in the hands of others, she knew to be cautious. She didn’t want to do anything foolish enough to end up hurting both sides, especially not when she wasn’t alone — she had a child to think of!

Fear was inevitable, but fear wouldn’t solve any problems. The years Lu Weixi spent falling from the pinnacle to the valley had made her cautious and much more composed in her actions. She moved her wrists slightly, and it felt like they were bound with some sort of hemp rope, getting tighter with each movement. There was nothing sharp around her to aid in escape; continuing to struggle could provoke their annoyance. A bit of suffering on her part was acceptable, but the child was crucial!

Once Lu Weixi adjusted herself into a more comfortable position, there was no more movement. The two men who had been quietly conversing on the other side noticed the lack of noise from her direction and seemed to be puzzled. The accented man commented, "Why is it so quiet now? She didn’t die, did she?"

Lu Weixi heard the footsteps of the two men; she slightly raised her head, and the man glanced over: "She’s alive."

The cloth in her mouth was suddenly yanked off, but Lu Weixi wasn’t panicked, she didn’t even utter a cry for help. After a while, she spoke slowly, "Sorry, may I have some water, please?"

The two men seemed to have never encountered a woman who remained so calm after being kidnapped and were momentarily taken aback.

The accented man even snorted: "Water, my foot."

Lu Weixi wasn’t upset, and although her voice was somewhat weak from being tied up all night, it was still calm: "If I die, I won’t be worth as much."

She was now certain, at least these two men were not here for revenge. It seemed unlikely to be for love, which made it most probable that it was for money, precisely during a tumultuous time for Hanhai. She was a powerful bargaining chip against Qin Zhiyou.

But the question was, would Qin Zhiyou pay a hefty ransom?
