“It’s okay. We’re heading somewhere else. Bye.” Joan took a few steps back, ready to leave.
The rest of the men who were standing behind them just now immediately blocked her path.
“Miss, it’s getting pretty late. I’ll help you.” With that, the bald man pulled Nancy down from her back.
“Hey! What are you doing? Nancy, wake up!” Joan yelled as loud as she could.
But Nancy still had her eyes closed, lying quietly in the arms of that bald man.
“Ah, what a good girl. She’s so well-behaved.” He looked at Joan and ordered his men, “Take her away now!”
As his subordinates held her down and tied her wrists with a rope, Joan used all of her strength to struggle against them. “Let me go! What do you guys want from us? Help! Somebody help!”
Scared that she might attract other people’s attention, the man rebuked, “Shut up, b*tch! We’ve been watching both of you for so long.”
Sh*t, looks like we’ve become their targets. If Nancy was sober, it would be as easy as pie for her to overpower these men. But this girl is still sleeping!
“Nancy, wake up! Wake up!” Joan called at the top of her lungs.
Just then, Nancy raised her head and said loudly with her eyes closed, “Huh, what? Let’s drink! Come! One more!”
Joan was livid. What kind of friend would doze off when we’re about to be abducted?
“Stop yelling, woman. I know that she drank a lot just now, so she won’t be waking up any time soon. You should be concerned about yourself instead,” the bald guy said, walking toward Joan.
A shiver ran down her spine instantly.
“W-what do you think you’re doing? Don’t come near me!” Joan shouted helplessly, looking around frantically to find a way to escape from him.
However, she could not move anywhere because the other men had a firm grasp on her shoulders. The bald man smirked and caressed her face. “We’re going to play some games, of course.”
Revolted, she turned her face away from his hand.
Disgusting man with a nauseating breath!
Suddenly, her phone rang. He glanced at it and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he stepped closer and could not help but gape when he saw the caller ID.
Needless to say, Joan noticed the obvious change of his expression.
Judging from his widened eyes when he saw Larry’s name, he should be afraid of Larry.
With such thought in mind, she tried her best to wriggle her wrists out of the tie, but it was too tight. “Oi, let us go and I’ll pretend as if nothing has happened tonight. If not, when Larry comes and finds me here, all of you are done for.”
Now that she had no way out, she had no choice but to try her luck.
The bald man’s eyes grew cold.
Who wouldn’t know who Larry Norton is? He is such a prominent figure in this city. If she’s really someone he knows, then we definitely can’t let her go.
A young man came forward and whispered in his ear, “Boss, what should we do now? She knows Larry Norton!”
“It’s okay. We can kill her after we do the deed,” the bald guy gave a straightforward answer.
The boy was stunned. He had never thought of killing anyone, and he did not dare to do it either.
“Boss, no. If we do this, we’d be imprisoned for life!” He tugged on the man’s arm anxiously.
“What shall we do then? If Larry Norton knows about this, we’d be dead either!” the balding man yelled.
They’re indeed afraid of Larry. Joan heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
Then, she said, “Hey. Listen to me. If you guys let us go now, I promise everyone here will be safe, okay? I’ll just pretend nothing has happened between us.”
Hearing her words, the leader hesitated.
“Have you hear her, boss? She said if we released them, she’d let it slide,” the young guy exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Joan’s phone was still ringing. It was as if Larry would keep calling if she did not answer his call.
“Look, boss! The phone keeps ringing, so it means that this woman is someone really important to him. We must never offend Larry Norton, boss.” There was a trace of fear in the young man’s eyes.
