Chapter 435 - 433: Mengting Is Captured
"Haha, I just told him I’ll go home in the afternoon. He might not know I’m heading back now, anyway my house isn’t far, it’s fine." Wu Mengting said with a sweet smile.
"Alright, then... be careful, I heard the security hasn’t been good recently." Yang Fan said with concern.
Wu Mengting nodded, without much delay, the two each rode their bicycles in opposite directions. Such a scene only appears in those youthful school days, with pure love.
Very soon, Wu Mengting rode her bike through the snack street, arriving at a fork in the road. This is the junction leading to the city center and Tan Tian’s home, without hesitation, she pedaled towards the right onto the muddy road.
This place held familiar memories for her. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. This road accompanied her for over two years. Uncertain about which university she might get into in the future, leaving home, leaving here, and what remains will only be memories, deep longing.
Entering the muddy road, it became the small forest where Chen Tianlong fought dozens of people. Usually, very few people pass through this place, apart from those living in the suburbs and workers returning to construction sites, most head to the city center.
Moreover, at this evening time, it’s even more deserted.
So when Wu Mengting was cycling here, she was slightly concerned. Though it’s not dark yet, the sky was dusky, but being a girl alone made her somewhat worried.
Resolutely, Wu Mengting increased her pedaling speed, wanting to quickly ride past this road.
Just then, she had ridden less than fifty meters when she suddenly heard the sound of motorcycles behind her. At first, she thought it was some motorcycle gang, quickly riding her bike to the edge to let them pass first.
However, a few seconds later, these motorcycles sped past her, circling around her. Wu Mengting’s brow furrowed, realizing something was wrong. These were unfamiliar faces, clearly hooligans or punks.
"You... what do you want?"
Wu Mengting was a bit scared, hastily getting off the bike, holding it while vigilantly looking around.
These people had hair dyed in various colors, obviously hooligan punks not doing good deeds, three bikes with six people.
At this moment, without saying a word, they stopped their motorcycles, jumped off, surrounded Wu Mengting, and dragged her towards the small forest without further ado.
Wu Mengting was horrified, knowing she was in trouble. These people clearly intended to harm her forcefully.
Her mind went blank with a thud, heart quivering intensely, this was something she had only seen in news or newspapers before, yet unexpectedly now happening to her.
For a moment, Wu Mengting panicked, hurriedly shouted.
But after yelling twice, her mouth was plugged with cloth, leaving her with no options. Three of them were watching the bikes outside, while the rest pulled Wu Mengting to do foul deeds.
Wu Mengting was evidently frightened, her expression extremely panicked. After struggling for a while, she was exhausted. One could imagine, facing three tall guys, how could a girl have room for resistance?
These punks were here for the job, so they didn’t dare waste time. Among them, one directly took off his clothes, ready for action.
At this point, Wu Mengting suddenly felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. Before the three could act, Wu Mengting familiarly pressed a button.
Her family was poor, using the old keypad phone from years ago, not the full touchscreen one. Those who’ve used it know you can blind type texts and answer calls with a press of a button.
The Apple phone Chen Tianlong gave her, she couldn’t bear to use it, being used to this one, not willing to part with it easily.
Naturally, Wu Mengting’s call got connected.
Cleverly, to buy some time, Wu Mengting intentionally said, "Who are you, why are you taking me to the small forest, dare speak up who’s harming me?"
"Haha, this little beauty is interesting, facing doom yet so arrogant. Shall we tell her, guys?" Among the three, a sleazy-looking Huang Mao said with a wicked grin.
"Second brother, up to you, she doesn’t know us anyway. After you’re done, we’ll help you take some artistic photos for submission, then you can have free rein." The other two underlings joked.
After all, with someone keeping watch outside, and three big men here not fearing Wu Mengting could escape, they might as well play with her, teasing for fun too.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong, having finished dinner, was resting in the dormitory at dusk.
Suddenly, a dart flew in from the window, scaring him nearly off the bed. Quickly dodging, the dart stuck into the wooden board beside the bed.
Chen Tianlong looked closely, finding a note attached. Curious, he took it in hand, opened it, and saw written, Wu Mengting, small forest, danger.
Seeing these simple words, Chen Tianlong leaped off the bed, ran to the balcony window for a look, but saw not a single shadow.
At this moment, the dormitory door swung open. Zhao Lei, clutching a basketball, rushed in sweaty, kept shouting, "Hot, I’m boiling, turning into a hot dog. I need a shower!"
Startled, Chen Tianlong didn’t linger long, hurriedly pulled out his phone, swiftly exiting the dormitory.
"Hey, Chen Tianlong, where are you going, so hurried?"
Zhao Lei shouted, but Chen Tianlong didn’t turn back, walking out.
"..."
Zhao Lei was speechless, but seeing Chen Tianlong seemingly having urgent matters, not daring to interrupt, could only toss the basketball aside, singing a song, preparing to dash into the shower room for a bath.
As Chen Tianlong walked and called, after ringing four or five times, the call miraculously connected. He was instantly delighted, being able to connect meant she was presumably safe, reminding him the note was a deliberate hoax, immediately relieved.
However, after two or three seconds, Chen Tianlong spoke several sentences with no response, initially thinking it might be a bad signal. Checking the phone signal, surprisingly full bars, he furrowed his brow, continued placing it to his ear, intending to call out a few times.
Upon this, Wu Mengting’s voice came from the other end, though in a loud, nearly cursing tone. Listening carefully, found out Mengting was in trouble.
"Small forest?"
Chen Tianlong’s brain spun rapidly, suddenly recalling the small forest behind snack street.
He wasted no time, directly sprinting outside, arriving at a downhill intersection, coincidentally met Yang Fan on his bike, immediately rushed over, snatching the bike saying, "Yang Fan, lend me your bike."
