"I need you to help me find this person," Guo Xuyang said, sketching the portly woman.
The lifelike depiction immediately made Natasha recognize her. "That's Ikuma. What's wrong, sir?"
"Could you please take me to see her?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"I'm sorry, sir. She's off duty. At this hour, she should be resting at home."
"I need to find her right now. Do you have any way to help?"
"I'll need to check her address. Please wait a moment, I'll make another call to ask."
Natasha made a call, but no one answered.
She made another call.
A deep, rough male voice came from the phone, speaking a string of unintelligible words.
She hung up and said, "Ikuma lives in a village about thirty miles from here. Are you sure you want to go look for her now?"
"Yes. I need to find her now. Does the hotel have a driver service?"
"Yes, sir. I'll arrange a car for you right away." Natasha called the front desk. "Alright, let's head down."
Guo Xuyang casually grabbed a bath towel and draped it over himself, unsure if the nights were cold here.
Natasha glanced at him. "Sir, you'd better wear something warmer. The temperature here is quite low at night."
Guo Xuyang returned to his room with Natasha and changed into the clothes he had worn earlier that day.
At the same time, he subtly collected the blanket and bath towel in the room into his mind.
"Let's go."
Natasha followed Guo Xuyang downstairs.
The car was already parked by the main entrance.
"To Daville Village," Natasha instructed.
"Daville Village? Ikuma?" the driver asked.
"Yes," Natasha replied.
"What are you looking for her for?" the driver asked.
"I'm not sure. This guest is looking for her," Natasha said, gesturing towards Guo Xuyang.
"Then prepare yourselves. We'll depart now." The driver started the car and drove out of the courtyard.
After more than half an hour of bumpy travel, they arrived at a small village. There weren't many houses, perhaps around thirty.
Perhaps the sound of the car disturbed the village dogs, as they barked incessantly and in unison.
Guo Xuyang focused his gaze, sweeping across the area.
Near the center of the village, he spotted Ikuma. She was sleeping on a wooden bed, with a bottle of water and some dry, hard bread beside her head.
He pulled Natasha out of the car and told her to ask the driver to wait for them for half an hour.
As they approached Ikuma's house, the driver quietly took out his phone and made a call.
"That man found Ikuma's village. You need to move quickly."
"Who took him there?"
"The waitress named Natasha."
"Damn it, we need to tie her up later. She's the one who ruined our plans."
"You were too careless. How was Ikuma discovered?"
"Who knows. Alright, call me immediately if there's any news."
"No problem. Make sure to save one of the girls for me."
"Understood."
The driver hung up the phone. He quietly got out of the car and approached Ikuma's house.
"Ask her who the man was to whom she gave the two girls."
"What? Impossible," Natasha exclaimed in shock. "Ikuma wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Now, do as I say," Guo Xuyang stated. "If I came here, it wouldn't be without reason."
"Who did you give those two girls to?" Natasha asked Ikuma.
"No. I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't have the patience to wait. Tell her. If she doesn't speak, I will break all her limbs," Guo Xuyang said.
"Hurry up and speak, or this man will break your limbs," Natasha urged.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"She says she doesn't know what we're talking about," Natasha told Guo Xuyang.
Without further ado, Guo Xuyang directly snapped Ikuma's wrist.
Ikuma cried out in pain, but Guo Xuyang covered her mouth tightly.
"Ask her again."
"Hurry up and speak, or he will really break your limbs."
Ikuma's eyes were filled with terror, and she kept shaking her head.
Guo Xuyang stomped down on the back of Ikuma's leg, deliberately breaking it.
"You can't hurt her like this," Natasha pleaded.
"Ask her one more time."
"Keke, it was Keke who took them," Ikuma shouted.
Natasha was stunned, finding it hard to believe. Yet, she had to accept the reality.
"Who is Keke? Where does he live? Where can he be found? Can you help me ask?"
After Natasha asked, she replied, "Keke is the underground king of this city. He owns many brothels and bars. To find him, you need to go to a place called Kapton. He frequently stays at a bar there."
Upon hearing this, Guo Xuyang put Ikuma down. He struck her with a palm edge, knocking her unconscious, and simultaneously hypnotized her, erasing all these memories.
As he was about to leave, he heard a sound from outside the door. He concentrated and saw the driver making a phone call.
Is this driver suspicious? This was his first thought.
He led Natasha outside. Once they were in the car, he said, "Tell the driver we're going to Kapton now."
He then called Lü Liang: "Brother Liang, there's a man named Keke in Kapton who kidnapped Xiao Yun and Ilena."
"That bastard, daring to mess with me."
"You know him?" Guo Xuyang asked, surprised.
"An old rival. It looks like he's been targeting you for a while," Lü Liang said.
"Do you know where to find him?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare touch them. It's fine. Keke is just trying to get resources from me."
"Tell me where I can find him. I'm going there now. Xiao Yun cannot be harmed," Guo Xuyang insisted.
"Then go to Kapton now. I'll arrange for someone to meet you there."
"Alright," Guo Xuyang said, hanging up the phone. He simultaneously extended his senses to the driver.
Going to Kapton now, won't it be too late? I don't believe Hughes will let those two girls go.
The driver shook his head unconsciously.
Who is Hughes? And why wouldn't he let Xiao Yun go? Guo Xuyang was filled with questions.
However, it was not convenient to alert them now.
He could only wait until they reached Kapton.
Xiao Yun and Ilena woke up and realized something was wrong. This was not the hotel they had checked into.
Although they were still in a hotel, it was not the Sun City Hotel.
