“Let’s go,” the stranger commanded her as soon as the door was shut.
The van continued to drive forward.
When she sensed the chemical fumes coming from the large hands that were covering her nose and mouth, Jenna knew that trouble was in store for her.
As the man hurled her into the van, with her mind slowly slipping in a daze, she realized she might have been caught by some of Srirano’s deadly theft gangs.
Good grief. She might be doomed to die on that day.
She struggled to get up, only to find that there were another four or five men in the van. Each of them had strong builds, and sly smiles on their faces.
“Let me go, or I’ll call the police,” Jenna resisted loudly.
“This girl seems like a catch. This mink coat she’s wearing is worth at least a hundred thousand. Not only have we made a fortune, we can also enjoy the night away.” One of the men grinned. Soon, the car erupted in sinister laughter.
Jenna shivered. As a car designer, she knew how to open the door to this type of car. She inched closer to the door, pretending to be asleep, but her hands were shifting along to find the lock.
At that time, she would rather jump out of the car than fall into the hands of these detestable men and be taken advantage of.
As long as the door was opened, she would immediately topple over. Even if she had to die, she would be able to escape, her subconscious told her.
“Motherf*cker, you sly fox.” Just as she was about to open the lock, one of the men noticed her and immediately flew into a rage. He struck Jenna on the head, and with a golden light flashing in front of her eyes, Jenna passed out.
She woke up to endless darkness.
She felt the chilling ground on her back.
“Sh*t, hasn’t she woken up yet? If you want to play, then better do it while they’re awake.” A man swore, and there was a smell of alcohol coming from the other side of the room.
Jenna opened her eyes. She was locked in a dark room. The door of this dark room was like a rolling gate. It seemed likely that she had been abducted and moved into an abandoned factory.
The gangsters were drinking in a small room next to hers, with obscenities weaving from their lips.
“What should I do?”
Jenna felt devastated to no end, and she could clearly understand the meaning of ‘all hope turns to dust’.
“Hansen, Hansen, where are you? Come and save me.”
She was silently shouting in her heart. Her mind was filled with Hansen. How much she wished for that tall and familiar figure to descend from the heavens, to stand by her side, and to embrace her.
Unfortunately, she knew that at that moment, it was only a hopeless dream. In such a desolate place, even if Hansen knew that she had been kidnapped, he would not be able to rush over in time.
She closed her eyes in despair.
As soon as Hansen rushed out of the meeting venue, he hurriedly instructed Alvin to pick up Jenna. His phone rang not long after they started the car.
“Hello.” He thought that it was Jenna who had called him, so he immediately picked it up. His face was full of gentleness and his voice was particularly mellow and moving.
“Hansen, it’s me. Where are you?” Jaqueline’s melodious voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Hansen’s expression turned cold in tandem with his voice.
“Jaqueline, is there anything?” he asked indifferently without any expression.
Jaqueline could clearly sense his change of tone and felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart. However, since she had already arrived in Srirano, she wanted to come over and take a look at him. Even though she knew that the end result was bleak, she could not stop her actions.
“Hansen, can you guess where I am?” she asked in a teasing manner, smiling over the phone.
Hansen frowned and suppressed his impatience. He said indifferently, “Jaqueline, I’m busy right now. I’ll have to hang up if there’s nothing else of importance.”
He was not in the mood to play wherefore-art-thou with her. He was not interested in her at all.
“Hansen, don’t be like this.” Jaqueline pouted and confessed, “To be honest, I am now in Srirano, very near to your location. I arrived here today with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Wood wants to see you. We have a business proposal. He wants to talk with you. We are going to visit the government office tomorrow. But before that, he has something important to discuss with you, I assume. That’s why he asked me to call you.”
Upon hearing Jaqueline’s words, the expression on Hansen’s face faltered. Since Luqman had travelled all the way to Srirano to meet him, it showed that this investment matter was his purpose of visit. It was absolutely possible for him to meet her.
Before setting up a meeting, it was a big deal to have a look and gather some information about the situation.
Thinking for a while, he asked slowly, “Where are you now?”
“We are in Srirano’s Foreign Affairs Residence. Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited us to a banquet. Mr. Woods wants you to come over,” Jaqueline explained. After that, she said with some grievance, “Hansen, I know that you don’t like me. I also know that Jenna is not dead. I am really happy for you. I wish you good luck. But this time, it’s really just for entrepreneurship reasons. I’m just a messenger and I have nothing to do with it. I hope that you don’t mix public and personal feelings.”
As she spoke, she didn’t hear any opposition from Hansen and knew that he would definitely come. She hung up the phone and waited for him.
“Alvin, make a detour and head to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first. Luqman is coming. He’s asking to see me.” He looked at his watch. It was almost eight thirty. “Call Maloney and ask her to send a car to pick up my wife and send her to the hotel.”
Alvin nodded his head and agreed. He immediately gave Maloney a call, and only then did he feel at ease as he walked towards the official residence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Srirano.
However, he had never imagined that Jenna would fall into the abyss of eternal damnation right at the same moment. It called to mind a lingering fear and unbearable pain when he thought of it many years later.
It was not until an hour later that Maloney, who couldn’t find Jenna, called him with trepidation. It drained the color off his face. He immediately bid goodbye to Luqman and flew outside, getting in the car.
He searched the whole office like crazy, and called Steffan in the shared dormitory. Finally, he concluded that Jenna was missing.
Hansen was completely deranged!
His entire face was covered in sweat, and the veins on his forehead bulged threateningly.
Alvin kept calm and looked at the location.
He went to the security office to check out the surveillance footage.
He immediately contacted the local police station when he saw through the surveillance video that Jenna had been taken away in a van.
