Chapter 189

Inside the room.

Su Tianyu raised his head and asked, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"

"Boss is gone," Su Tianbei frowned and sat down. "Haven't seen him for two days."

"Huh?" Su Tianyu had been busy investigating the case these past two days. He was either at work or in other departments, and he didn't return home until late at night every day, so he hadn't really noticed that there was someone missing from the house.

"How could he just disappear?" Yu Mingyuan was also very curious.

"I don't know. I've been calling him since yesterday, but I can't get through. I didn't see him when I came back at night either." Su Tianbei said worriedly, "I went home today, and Miao Miao said that he hasn't been back for two days either."

"Did you send him a text message?" Su Tianyu asked.

"Yes, but he didn't reply." Su Tianbei shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'll give him a call." Su Tianyu reached out and picked up his phone.

"Could something have happened?" Yu Mingyuan frowned and asked, "Wang Zhen is definitely trying every means to find loopholes in us now."

Su Tianyu waved his hand and said, "Don't panic yet, let me contact him."

...

Beside the reservoir.

Zhang Tao Tao sat on the wet grass, her pretty face expressionless as she looked at the masked man.

"Tear!"

The man slowly tore off the tape from Zhang Tao Tao's mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Will you cooperate?"

"...I don't know anything about this Seventh Island you're talking about, and I can't give you any useful information." Zhang Tao Tao didn't shout or scream, and replied very calmly, "I really don't know why you chose to kidnap me. Did you get the wrong information?"

The man reached out and grabbed Zhang Tao Tao's hair, "You are the honorary chairman of the board of directors of Huihong Pharmaceutical Group. You say you don't know about the Seventh Island, do you think I'll believe that?"

"You said it yourself, it's just an honorary chairman. I don't participate in the management and operation of the pharmaceutical group. How would I know about things there?" Zhang Tao Tao retorted, "You might have kidnapped the wrong person."

"Don't test my patience!" The man's hand grabbing Zhang Tao Tao's hair gradually increased its strength.

"I don't know. It's useless even if you kill me." Zhang Tao Tao turned her head to endure the pain. "...You should find the management personnel of Huihong Pharmaceutical."

The man looked at Zhang Tao Tao's reaction and was a little surprised, because the woman in front of him was too calm. Her rationality outweighed her fear when facing him.

"Okay, I won't ask you any more questions." The man paused, and continued to say while pulling Zhang Tao Tao's hair, "Let me change my request. Take a few days off from the company, find an excuse, and find a way to take me to Seventh Island."

"First of all, the Seventh Island you're talking about is Huihong Pharmaceutical's research and development base, and it's backed by the military of District One. They specialize in the research and development of military medicine, and the management is very strict. It's not like anyone can visit it. Actually, I really just have a nice-sounding title in Huihong Pharmaceutical Group, because Bao Long Group has some cooperation with them in certain fields..."

"Your cooperation is just a human trafficking ring, isn't it?" The man's voice was cold and he suddenly roared, "I have been respectful enough to you. Don't waste my patience anymore...!"

"You've got the wrong person!"

"Damn it, you think I don't dare to kill you, right?!" The man suddenly stood up, grabbed Zhang Tao Tao's hair roughly, and directly pressed her cheek into the cold river water.

Zhang Tao Tao's cheek was completely submerged in the water. After a while, a strong sense of suffocation hit her, and she began to kick her legs and shake her body, trying to struggle.

By the water, the man held Zhang Tao Tao's hair tightly with one hand, completely ignoring her struggle. Instead, he strengthened his grip again, pressing her entire head into the water.

In the man's heart, he had no sympathy or pity for people like Zhang Tao Tao. Even if she was just a woman, the man firmly believed that as a top executive in the top five positions of Bao Long Group, she couldn't possibly be completely unaware of the human trafficking.

In other words, even if Zhang Tao Tao was not a direct participant in human trafficking, she was at least an accomplice.

This kind of strong woman who navigates the business world and holds a high position might be even more ruthless than men in some things.

Thinking of this, the anger in the man's heart rose again, directly to the top of his head. He turned around and stood up, straddling Zhang Tao Tao's body with his legs, riding on her back, and began to shake her head with both hands in an abusive manner, "I have plenty of time, if you don't talk, we'll take our time and play. I'll definitely make you wish you were dead!"

After nearly two minutes, the man released his hand and pulled Zhang Tao Tao out of the water.

Under the moonlight.

Zhang Tao Tao's hair was disheveled, her pretty face was full of water stains, and she was lying face up on the lawn, motionless, as if she had fainted.

The man was not in a hurry, and just sat next to her, watching her quietly.

A few seconds later.

"Cough cough, vomit...cough cough...!"

Violent coughs echoed along the shore. Zhang Tao Tao slowly opened her eyes, rolled her body to the side, curled her delicate body into a ball, and began to vomit violently.

"I'll give you another half a minute to consider." The man got up and walked towards the car, preparing to smoke a cigarette in the car.

Reaching out and pulling open the car door, the man was about to grab the cigarette case, but found that the phone, which was set to do-not-disturb, was lit up with more than a dozen missed call alerts.

The man picked up the phone first and saw that all the calls were from Su Tianyu, and the other party had also sent two text messages.

"Brother, where are you? Call back immediately when you see this!"

"Brother, everyone is very worried about you!"

That's right, the man standing next to the car was Su Tiannan, who had left Dragon City two days ago.

Next to the vehicle, Su Tiannan frowned as he looked at his phone. After much deliberation, he immediately replied to Tianyu: "I found some clues about the human traffickers. I'm meeting a friend outside the district. It's very safe. I'll be back in a few days. I'll call you when I have time."

After replying, Su Tiannan put down his phone, stood beside the car, and lit a cigarette.

Time passed by, and a cigarette burned to the end. Su Tiannan put on his mask again and walked back to the shore.

Zhang Tao Tao was mentally exhausted, her pretty face was pale as she lay motionless on the lawn.

"How is it? Do you want to try my other tricks, or do you want to just talk?" Su Tiannan asked, looking down at her.

Zhang Tao Tao's beautiful eyes swept over Su Tiannan, her pretty face expressionless, and her eyes were also very firm.

"Speak!" Su Tiannan pinched Zhang Tao Tao's face, "Pretending to be dead won't work!"

Zhang Tao Tao still ignored him, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Su Tiannan felt like he had punched cotton. He grabbed Zhang Tao Tao's head again somewhat angrily, and pressed her into the water...

The cold river water, the feeling of suffocating fear, and the burning pain of water flowing into her body tormented Zhang Tao Tao to the point where she almost fainted again. If it were an ordinary woman, she might have already given in.

But Su Tiannan tossed Zhang Tao Tao back and forth like this four or five times, but the other party still didn't compromise, and didn't even say a word of begging for mercy.

On the shore, Zhang Tao Tao fell to the ground and murmured weakly, "I know who you are... You don't dare to kill me...!"
