Chapter 643: Saving Themselves
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the beginning, they would struggle and shout, but the people overseeing them were too intimidating. They threatened and even beat them when they became impatient.
Lin Ci looked at them. “Were you beaten up?”
“No, we’re okay. It’s just that the boys got beaten up. We were locked up together before, but then they separated us.”
Lin Ci let out a shaky breath.
Why did they do this? What did we do?
Why everyone from my class? Who did we offend?
Lin Ci could not figure it out.
She looked at the girls and leaned over. “Are you guys very hungry? I have something in my pocket too, try fishing it out.”
Their hands were all tied behind their backs, and they had to struggle to take it out.
They were all famished.
They had nothing to eat nor any water to drink, and their throats were parched. The few of them helped each other send the food further into the room. Lin Ci suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
They were all young women living comfortable lives, yet they had to suffer like this in such a miserable place,
She was also very flustered. Not knowing why this happened to them, not knowing what the outcome would be.
Up to the point when she had been kidnapped, nobody had ever called to ask for a ransom.
This matter was simply too strange.
“Little Ci, what’s going on outside? Is the ransom too high? Is everyone unable to gather that amount? Or did they change their minds?”
Lin Ci shook his head and said weakly, “No, there’s been no demands for a ransom; there’s been nothing at all. After you disappeared, the police force has been looking for you, but there were very few clues. We couldn’t find you at all, and we didn’t know what we could do. It’s been so many days, but no one contacted your families or the school. It’s as if they’re kidnapping us just for the sake of it. They’re not doing it for money or for any explicit reason.”
Everyone was floored. They thought that the kidnappers had kept changing their minds; after all, so many people going missing would definitely attract attention. Each of them was a child beloved by their parents, so their parents would definitely save them no matter how much they had demanded. But now, it seemed that these people were not after money at all.
It was as if the last bit of hope in their hearts had been extinguished.
Lin Ci looked at them. “Don’t cry! Think if there are any clues, we have to try even if it’s just a little. Did you hear any sound or anything that stood out when you arrived?”
She looked at everyone anxiously. Everyone suppressed their emotions and tried their best to think.
When Lu Ning was carried in, Lin Ci and the others were still thinking about the details, but they had been thinking about it for a long time. Almost everyone had been drugged and brought over. Those who had woken up halfway could not remember what was going on on the road as they could not see anything. At that time, they were so nervous that they could only hear their heartbeats.
Lin Ci did not want to give up. At this time, if the people outside could not find them, they could only save themselves.
The group of girls shivered as they leaned against each other, not knowing what they were facing.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
With each footfall, everyone stared nervously at the door.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they even stopped outside the door. The girls immediately approached each other and stared at the door in fear.
Until the door was opened and three people stood at the door.
Somebody was tossed in.
Lin Ci could clearly see that the two people standing behind were holding guns.
She immediately felt a chill down her spine and knew why they did not dare to speak or shout too loudly.
The door closed as quickly as it opened.
The few of them immediately crawled over to see who had just been thrown
