Beep Beep!
At this mont, the sound of a car horn ca from nearby. Ling Kun and the other two looked up and saw two military jeeps driving toward them, stopping at the entrance of the Ling Family.
The car door opened, and a man in military uniform jumped down from the vehicle, striding up to Ling Kun and the others, and saluted formally.
"Hello, I’m Lieutenant Zheng Jiong from the Beijing Military District, ordered to pick up Mr. Ling. There is sothing that requires Mr. Ling’s cooperation, do you know where he is?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Ling Kun and the other two changed dramatically. Damn it! They fell for it!
...
After half a day of traveling, Ling Chen, following Li Bin, finally arrived in Beijing, at a three-story factory building located in the Beijing Suburbs. This factory had been abandoned, surrounded by wilderness. However, the place had been taken over by the military as a secret interrogation site for prisoners.
Standing at the entrance of the factory, Ling Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at the front gate, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. For so reason, he had a very bad feeling. Once he walked through this gate, he was very likely to be in danger.
Having been an agent, Ling Chen was well aware of what such a place represented. This was a secret military interrogation base, easy to enter, but difficult to leave, so people were trapped in places like this for a lifeti.
"Mr. Ling, why aren’t you moving?" Li Bin, walking ahead, turned around and asked Ling Chen, who stood still.
"Mr. Li, I want to know where Tang Yuan is."
Li Bin pointed at the factory ahead and said, "He’s inside here, you will see him soon. Co on, everyone is waiting for you, don’t waste ti."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen shook his head helplessly. Now that he’s reached this place, it’s impossible to turn back. At this mont, Ling Chen adjusted his mood, followed behind Li Bin, and walked straight toward the factory.
Although the factory had three floors, the place Ling Chen headed to was the basent beneath the factory—a basent that was over six hundred square ters in size, divided into many small rooms, each reinforced with concrete and steel, specially designed to imprison criminals.
Walking down the stairs into the basent, a foul sll instantly assaulted his senses.
Ling Chen looked around and asked, "Mr. Li, where is Tang Yuan? When can I see him?"
"Don’t rush, he’s resting now, I’ll take you to sit sowhere first, and soone will co to ask you a few questions soon, hope you’ll cooperate."
Ling Chen nodded, and soon, he was taken by Li Bin into an interrogation room.
"Mr. Ling, wait here, I’ll go find Tang Yuan."
"Okay, thank you." After watching Li Bin leave, Ling Chen found a seat on his own, patiently waiting. As monts passed, Ling Chen reached into his pocket to get his phone. However, when he felt an empty pocket, Ling Chen finally rembered that he had handed over his phone upon entry as Li Bin had requested.
It’s been almost half an hour, why is no one here yet?
Ling Chen thought to himself, frowning silently. Besides, isn’t this a secret interrogation base? It’s too quiet, not even footsteps or any sound can be heard.
After waiting a few more minutes, the restless Ling Chen stood up and pushed open the door of the interrogation room. Stepping into the corridor outside, Ling Chen looked around and found there was no one around.
Seeing this situation, Ling Chen felt increasingly strange. He walked to the neighboring interrogation room, pushed the door open, and saw inside, the room was in a complete ss, all dilapidated, seemingly untouched for a long ti.
This... Seeing the scene before him, Ling Chen was slightly stunned, feeling increasingly uneasy. Without ti to think further, Ling Chen hurried to the next interrogation room, and similarly found it in the sa condition, all filled with rubble, except for the interrogation room he was in, none of the other rooms had been cleaned.
Moreover, there was not a single person in the entire basent.
Damn it! What’s going on here? Ling Chen cursed quietly, quickly walking toward the stairs, only to find the door at the top of the stairs already closed. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ling Chen reached the door and started pounding on it, but there was no indication of movent outside.
Without thinking, Ling Chen kicked at the door fiercely, intending to break through the door in front of him.
However, to his surprise, except for feeling a strong recoil, the door showed no signs of damage. After a brief mont of staring, Ling Chen pulled out a set of keys and lightly scraped across the door’s surface.
Shortly after, Ling Chen found in despair that the door was made of steel, both in hardness and thickness, beyond his ability to break. Damn it! Who the hell did this?
Ling Chen thought silently. It seed that Li Bin he t earlier wasn’t actually from the military, otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought him to such a place. The real purpose of those people was likely to trap him here, leaving him to fend for himself in this hell-hole.
What should I do?
Ling Chen ruffled his hair, frustrated at being deceived by those bastards. Having called Pang Jiulin and learned about the situation in Beijing, Ling Chen didn’t doubt Li Bin’s appearance at all. But only now did he realize that soone was impersonating a military officer.
Great, now, without a phone, without food, without drink, calling for help from the heavens or the earth would be futile, all he could do was wait for death.
Fortunately... This basent had ventilation shafts, at least he wouldn’t suffocate to death. Just as he was thinking about this, smoke suddenly began to spew from the ventilation shafts in the basent’s ceiling.
Seeing the thick smoke, Ling Chen couldn’t help but curse loudly. These bastards! Truly despicable, using such thods to deal with him. Without a second thought, Ling Chen ran over, took off his clothes, and stuffed them into all the vents to prevent the smoke from seeping inside.
After spending about five minutes, all the ventilation shafts in the basent were blocked, preventing the smoke from coming in. But similarly, losing ventilation, the basent was completely sealed, with no air circulation possible.
Considering the size of this basent, without air circulation, it would hold out for a few hours at most.
No! I must quickly find a way to escape or I’ll really die here.
With this thought, Ling Chen began searching room by room, hoping to find a way out. However, after half an hour, Ling Chen sunk into despair. Besides the steel-made door, the basent had no other exits. Moreover, he had tried digging a tunnel to escape, only to find that the walls surrounding the basent were made of concrete and steel, extrely hard, and it was impossible to escape relying solely on his own strength. With limited air, he couldn’t engage in intense physical activity.
Damn it!
Ling Chen slumped to the ground, leaning against the wall, wondering if he was truly going to die here.
