It took Shen Nian a while to realize that she was no longer in that dilapidated house, but in the car.

She slowly opened her eyes a crack and saw that the taxi driver who had kidnapped her was not among the three people in the car. She didn't know who these people were, what had happened, or where they were taking her.

This unknown fear was more terrifying than death itself, and Shen Nian couldn't help but tremble all over.

And because she hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the past two days, she was very weak, her lips were cracked, and she looked particularly disheveled.

She moved her lips, but no sound came out.

The three people in the car were still excitedly discussing.

"This time, we've finally found a wife for that idiot."

"That's right, Aunt Li will definitely be happy to see Sha Dan's new wife, and she won't have to worry anymore."

"I'll buy one for my Xiaoqiang tomorrow. City girls are just different."

Several people were talking about buying and selling wives, which seemed to be a very normal thing in their area.

Just as they were having a pleasant discussion, a car suddenly cut in front of them, blocking their path. The driver slammed on the brakes, and everyone lurched forward, nearly hitting the car. Shen Nian, who was at the back, was also thrown forward by the inertia, her head hitting the seat in front of her. She was initially dazed, but the pain brought her back to a more alert state. She didn't know what had happened, only hearing the driver cursing.

"What kind of blind man drives like that? If I hadn't stepped on the brakes, I would have run you all over the place." He said, preparing to get out of the car to confront the person.

Another person in the car stopped him in time, saying, "Don't cause trouble, we need to get this person back quickly."

"Yes, back up a bit, let's drive away quickly," the person in the passenger seat said.

The driver thought about it and gave up, then shifted gears to prepare to reverse, just as he began to operate the system.

Four people got out of the car that had been blocking their way and walked straight toward their van. One of them, ignoring that the car was still moving and before the people inside could react, jumped onto the van, grabbed the driver by the collar through the window, and shouted, "Stop the car!"

The driver was terrified and instinctively slammed on the brakes, bringing the van to a sudden stop.

After the car stopped, the three people inside got out one after another and stood aside in fear. The people in front of them looked like they were not to be trifled with, and they did not dare to resist. They had no idea what had happened.

"Brothers, what's the matter?" one of them asked cautiously.

Q was guarding them with one person, while Moze was searching the van with another.

After scanning the car, there was no one inside, and Shen Nian was nowhere to be found.

Mo Ze jumped out of the car and walked up to the three people. "Where are they?"

His tone was like that of the King of Hell, sending chills down everyone's spines. One of them stammered, "What...who is it?"

"Stop playing dumb with me. What about the woman who was just transferred from the tricycle?" Q asked.

The three men were immediately startled. They exchanged a glance without making a sound, then decided to play dumb. "Brothers, you must have made a mistake. There's no one else in the car, just the three of us. We're on our way home. There's really no one you're looking for here."

Q and Moze exchanged a glance. Had they moved the person again halfway through?

Q continued to question the three men, who still insisted that there was no one else in their car, only the three of them. However, they appeared visibly nervous, and the three of them kept glancing at the van, as if they were afraid that Moze and his men would search it again.

Moze observed the expressions of the group and, while Q questioned them, he got back into the van alone. The van was small, and you could see the whole thing at a glance; it was obvious who was inside, and he certainly didn't see Shen Nian. But such a large person couldn't just disappear into thin air; if they hadn't moved along the way, then she must still be in the van.

"Niannian, Niannian," Mo Ze called out twice from the car.

At that moment, he felt a sense of despair.

These past two days, it seems like every time it's been a step too late. Just when hope is ignited in his heart, it's extinguished again, then given a little more hope, and then extinguished again.

This went on and on...

In her drowsy state, Shen Nian seemed to hear a familiar voice, which sounded like an older man's voice.

She slowly opened her eyes, but it was still pitch black. Just after the sudden stop, the people in the car put her in a box. The box was modified to be under the seat, so you couldn't see it unless you looked closely, and you wouldn't notice that there was a box hidden under the seat.

She struggled to open her eyes, confirming that the car had stopped. Perhaps it was a sudden surge of survival instinct, but hearing a familiar voice gave her hope to live. Although her hands and feet were still bound, Shen Nian used all her strength to bang her head against the box, making a sound that reached Mo Ze's ears.

He hadn't noticed anything amiss and was already preparing to get out of the car, contacting K to send over the surveillance video of the van's journey for further investigation. Upon hearing the crash, Moze stopped, hung up the phone, put it away, and got back into the car.

The sound was too short, but he heard it clearly; there was no mistake, it came from the car.

After Mo Ze got into the car, he called out Shen Nian's name while re-checking her.

"Knock knock~" The familiar sound came again. Mo Ze pinpointed the source of the sound to be under the seat. He strode over to the seat and, without hesitation, lifted it up, revealing a hidden box underneath.

With his slightly trembling hands, he pried open the metal plate on top of the box with his bare hands, and the scene before him instantly turned his eyes bloodshot.

His girl lay curled up in the box, her hands and feet bound, already chafed raw by the ropes, her hair disheveled, her whole body filthy, and her face frighteningly pale.

More embarrassing than ever before.

For the first time, Moze felt the urge to kill, and he had to clench his fists to suppress the thought for the time being.

His hands trembled, and he didn't even know where to pick Shen Nian up so that she wouldn't be in pain.

Shen Nian, who was suddenly illuminated by a beam of light, took a while to adjust before she could clearly see who was in front of her.

When she finally saw Mo Ze's face clearly, she smiled slightly.

It really was an older man; it was an older man who came to save her.

She moved her chapped lips and uttered her first sound in two days, "Uncle..." before completely fainting.

"Niannian!" Mo Ze exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening, and immediately picked her up.
