Dizziness.
Excruciating pain.
...
Chu Ci's body twitched slightly. He opened his eyes and then closed them tightly.
The high fever had numbed his senses. It took a few minutes for his nerves to send back information about the hard wall behind him and the dusty ground below him. Then, he realized that he had been kidnapped.
All the drastic changes that had happened in the past day and a half flashed through his mind. He met the security guard in the warehouse, answered his tutor's phone at gunpoint, tried to leave an SOS signal, hung up the phone, and was knocked out immediately...
Chu Ci exhaled a mouthful of hot air and tried to sit up straight. Just as he moved, the excruciating pain from his ribs made him suck in a breath of cold air.
'Yes, I'm hurt,' he thought.
The kidnappers set the car on fire and pushed him to the highway. The sky was so dark, and there were few people around. Even if he called for help, he could not see anyone. When he passed by a bush, he, who had been prepared for a long time, pushed the kidnappers into the bush. As he struggled, he left the kidnappers' blood on the broken branches and dead leaves...
After that, he was pulled up and punched a few times. He lost consciousness in the process.
'Why didn't they kill me?' This thought flashed through Chu Ci's mind.
'Everyone knows that I'm poor and have no connections. Even if I'm kidnapped, it's impossible to get a ransom.' From the kidnappers' point of view, it was unrealistic to bring a living person who could run, scream, and call for help. It would be much more convenient for them if they stabbed him to death and buried him in the wilderness.
'Unless I'm still useful.'
'What is my value?'
Chu Ci forced himself to calm down and weigh the current situation. Suddenly, a rustling sound attracted his attention. He forced himself to open his eyes, and when his vision adjusted to the dim environment, he was startled.
'Ding Dang?'
It was a shabby room of about five to six square meters. The only light came from the cement window that was sealed by iron bars. He did not know whether it was dawn or evening outside. The gray sky reflected the silhouette of the girl on the ground. She was waking up in pain and mumbling in her sleep, "Help … Help …!"
Chu Ci immediately looked at the door. Fortunately, Ding Dang's voice was not loud, so it should not have alerted the kidnappers outside.
"What's going on …" Ding Dang muttered softly as he struggled to sit up. But she was too weak. Her whole body went limp as soon as she exerted her strength. Fortunately, Chu Ci reached out and caught her in time. Otherwise, she would have suffered a concussion.
"… Chu Ci? That's great! That's great! I knew you were fine! — — "
Chu Ci abruptly placed her index finger in front of her lips, indicating for her not to speak.
'Ding Dang' suddenly fell silent, only to hear the muffled conversation and footsteps of the thugs outside the door. It was quite a while before they gradually walked away.
"…" Only then did the two youths relax a little. Chu Ci frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
As soon as he said this, he regretted it. Ding Dang's trembling, which had stopped with great difficulty, was immediately stimulated again, and it even seemed to be getting more and more intense. His black grape-like eyes were quickly filled with tears. "I, I wanted to turn myself in, I wanted to expose this group of people, but halfway there, I was … I was …"
Chu Ci motioned for her to lower her voice. "Surrender?"
Ding Dang nodded while trembling.
"… Feng Yuguang's case is related to the workers?"
Ding Dang nodded first and then shook her head. She seemed to be very agitated but did not know what to say. After a while, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and said, "No, it's … it's me. I killed Xiao Feng!"
Chu Ci's eyebrows twitched.
"On May 2nd, that night, Xiao Feng asked me to go to the Nightless Palace KTV to sing. During that period of time, he often, often wanted to ask me out, but I couldn't … Although I rejected him, he still insisted on waiting for me at the karaoke place in the city center …"
Ding Dang hugged his knees, like a frightened little animal.
"I stayed at home until very late. It was midnight when my father and Hu Weisheng came back. They said, 'That guy with the surname Feng can't pester you anymore.' At that time, I didn't understand what they meant. It was not until two days later when you were brought to the Public Security Bureau that I found out that Xiao Feng died that night. And the person who killed him must be, must be — "
Chu Ci interrupted her. "Who is Hu Weisheng?"
Ding Dang swallowed her saliva.
Chu Ci stared at her.
