Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 358 Kidnapping
The street was as quiet as a small village. Only the street lights were on, and there was no one on the street.

A wild cat was rummaging through the garbage dump for food, burying its entire head in the garbage bag and eating with relish.

The footsteps of the two men startled the wild cat, and it quickly retracted its head and stared at them with wide eyes.

"It looks like it's frightened." Fang Lan said to Alex with a smile, pointing at the cat.

"Cats, especially wild cats, are naturally wary of humans," Ellis said with a smile. "That's normal. I often see news about cat abuse on the Internet. A delivery man saw a kitten on the street and petted it without any precautions. Then he suddenly picked up the kitten's tail and threw it to the ground. He then stepped on its head and killed it before walking away."

"Uh... it's too cruel." Fang Lan pouted and said, "Or maybe this is what they call 'love and hate'!"

"Yes. There was also a college student who used various means to trap cats, and then burned them, drowned them, scalded them with irons, burned them with cigarette butts, chopped them with knives... In short, he used the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty one by one. In the end, he killed dozens of cats, skinned them and sold cat meat online." Ellis continued, "It's terrible!"

"Alas! The relationship between humans and cats is actually similar to the relationship between humans. It's all about love and hate. I don't know what to think." Fang Lan waved her hand and said, "But fortunately there are still people who love cats, and cats have not become extinct because of humans. Just like humans have gone through many wars over the years, but overall it's still good, and they are still thriving and multiplying."

"Well, so we still have to hold out hope." Ellis smiled.

The two continued their night tour and unknowingly walked to the door of a bar.

The bar sits on a street corner with a large beer sign with the local script on it.

Looking in from the outside, you can hardly hear any sound from inside.

It was as if there was no person inside, but a still oil painting, or a TV with very low volume playing a TV series, or an illusory image.

When they pushed open the door and walked in, the pungent smell of cigarettes and alcohol, the loud music, and the noisy voices of people talking hit them like a whirlwind, as if sucking them into a whirlpool in an instant.

Fang Lan had the urge to leave immediately, but Alex liked this atmosphere very much. Maybe all mixed-bloods are a bit rebellious.

She pulled Fang Lan inside, sat at the bar, and said to the boss with a smile, "Give us two Bloody Marys."

"Okay!" the boss responded with a smile, snapped his fingers, and immediately brought them two drinks.

"I've never been to a place like this before." Fang Lan looked around and said hesitantly.

"I knew you were a good girl." Ellis smiled and gently pinched Fang Lan's cheek, "So, I want to take you out to see the world."

The two chatted casually, looking at the people around them talking and laughing, dancing and singing. They thought, these night owls have great energy.

At this time, a bearded man sitting quietly in the corner caught their attention. He had been looking at them with strange eyes.

After a while, a handsome man came to sit next to the bearded man with a beer. The bearded man lowered his head and whispered a few words to him. Then the handsome man looked at Ellis and Fang Lan, smiled slightly, and stood up and walked over.

"Hi, girl! You are so beautiful!" The handsome man smiled at Alex. He thought Alex was European.

Ellis's English was no problem, and she smiled and said, "You're handsome too, buddy!"

"Thank you!" the man said with a smile.

Then, he turned his gaze to Fang Lan and started chatting with her. Fang Lan just wanted to practice speaking English, and she felt that the English she had learned for so many years was finally useful, so she chatted with the man with a smile.

Soon, the man got all their information. After drinking almost enough, he stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, they exchanged phone numbers. The man said he had friends all over Europe and could contact him no matter where he went.

Fang Lan knew that with the integration of Europe now underway, the whole of Europe was like one country. As long as you entered Europe, you didn't have to worry about the borders between countries and could travel freely.

So, she believed what the man said. And Fang Lan was obsessed with looks, and when she saw how handsome the man was, she didn't think about anything else. She was also conquered by his fluent English, and just nodded and smiled.

After the man returned to the bearded man, he smiled and raised his hand to make an OK sign. After the two nodded and smiled at each other slyly, the bearded man picked up the phone and began to assign tasks.

In the following days, Fang Lan and Ellis kept this pace of life. After the tour group left one city, they went to the next one. They continued their trip and had a lot of fun every day.

Fang Lan and Alice enjoyed the night tour with great pleasure.

Every day, Lin Chen would talk to Fang Lan. Fang Lan would tell Lin Chen about the interesting things during the trip, and Lin Chen would also share his travel experiences with her.

Lin Chen drove the car and first came to Wulao City next to the sea.

A city without old people does not really have no elderly people living there, just like “Wuxi” does not really have no tin.

The name of this city originated from thousands of years ago. At that time, Wulao City was the border area of ​​Wu State. It was originally a dense jungle with no one.

Later, King Wu obtained this land through diplomatic means and sent an army to garrison it.

Most of the soldiers in the army were young, and only the leader was a burly man. They built the first earthen city here, and when naming it, the man was inspired by the young soldiers and gave it this name.

There are countless places of interest in the old city, and Lin Chen visited them one by one. He tasted a lot of Mixue Bingcheng, not because he was greedy for cheapness, but because this brand is all over the city, and it seems unfair not to drink this convenience that can be found everywhere.

He then drove into the neighboring desert and drove as fast as he could.

Thanks to Tesla's built-in radio wave system, Lin Chen did not lose contact with Fang Lan. You know, the signal in the desert is notoriously poor.

Fortunately, this desert was not big, like a small desert in an oasis. Lin Chen drove out quickly, and the communication between the two returned to normal.

The bearded man and the handsome man have been following the tour group, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Finally, the time has come.

On the seventh night when the tour group arrived in Europe, there was heavy fog.

The city was surrounded by white fog, and it looked like a dream, as if it was in a non-existent world. The figures of people and vehicles were blurred and difficult to distinguish.

Fang Lan and the others sat in front of the TV and had a midnight snack. Occasionally, she looked out the window and laughed, "It's so foggy that the whole city looks like it's been boiled into a pot of porridge."

"Then we are the yellow rice grains, and Alice is the white rice grain." The little penguin joked, "Add in our black friends in the city, and our pot of porridge is really colorful."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Fang Lan also laughed: "Add this table of dishes, it's simply seafood eight-treasure porridge."

Amidst the laughter, the room was still refreshing and pleasant. The air purifier continued to operate, making a "beep, beep" sound, bringing fresh air into the room.

However, the fog was too heavy, and they were worried about getting lost. Knowing that there was nowhere to go in the thick fog, Fang Lan and Ellis went to rest early. Just then, dozens of black shadows suddenly emerged from the colorful fog. They were wearing the same black night clothes and approached the hotel quietly.

While the member who was on night watch was distracted by watching TV, a dark figure blew a white gas into the house. It was a high concentration of ether gas.

Soon after the member inhaled the drug, he fainted in a chair as if he had taken sleeping pills.

The shadows took the opportunity to sneak in, took her keys, opened the doors, tied up the tour group members one by one, and escorted them out.

There were several black commercial vehicles parked outside. The shadowy figures stuffed the hostages into the vehicles and drove away.

Fang Lan was awakened, and while struggling, she stared at the shadows, and suddenly recognized the handsome man next to her!
Fang Lan's mouth was covered, and she could only stare at the handsome man with wide eyes and make a faint protest.

"Oh, beautiful girl, I'm sorry. It's just for money." The handsome man smiled fluently, his eyes revealing weirdness and indifference, as if he was a machine without emotions.

“A lot of money.” he added.

If Fang Lan could speak, she would definitely ask them why they arrested people, but the criminals did not give her the opportunity.

The handsome man looked at her for a while and suddenly started to insult her.

Fang Lan was so angry that she wanted to kick him to death. But in front of him, she was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Fang Lan could only grit her teeth with tears in her eyes and glare at the handsome man's unreasonable behavior.

Fortunately, the car stopped quickly, and the bearded leader ordered everyone to get out. The handsome man also got out with the hostages.

They were taken to a large house, which was pitch black and filled with wooden beds. They were thrown inside, and after the ropes were untied, the door was slammed shut.

When the rope was untied, Little Penguin and Fang Lan wanted to take the opportunity to resist. However, they were surrounded by gangsters holding AK47s, and the gangster who untied the rope was as strong as a statue. They knew they were no match for them, so they did not act rashly.

There was silence in the house at first. As the laughter and footsteps of people outside gradually faded away, everyone began to cry bitterly.

Only Fang Lan and the little penguin remained calm and did not burst into tears.

Ellis, the man who once said that he would take Fang Lan through ups and downs and show her the world, was crying the most sadly at this moment.

"Okay, can crying solve the problem? Then what are the army and police for?" Fang Lan walked over, patted Ellis on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Right now, we must stay calm. At least we have regained some freedom and are still healthy."

"Yeah." Alice nodded cutely, looked at Fang Lan, and wiped away his tears.

"First, we need to find out if there is an escape exit here." After Fang Lan said this, she organized everyone to look around.

There is no sewer here! Not to mention toilets! There are only a few plastic buckets in the corner, and it seems that you have to relieve yourself there!

"Oh my god, isn't this going to stink us to death?" The little penguin frowned. Seeing that the plastic bucket didn't have a lid, he felt that the conditions were worse than prison!

"Yes, especially now that our stomachs are full of seafood, the smell must be terrible! I shouldn't have eaten it if I had known!" Fang Lan also frowned, as if she had already smelled the stench.

"There's not even a window!" Alex said, pointing at the roof.

This place is like a warehouse. Once the security door is closed, there is only darkness inside. There are a few lights in the corners, but the light is so weak that they can barely move around in the house.

"How about we try to dig a hole in the wall using the sharp weapons we have?" Fang Lan suggested again, looking at everyone as she spoke.

"If this wall has fallen into disrepair, it might be possible." The little penguin laughed, touched his belt, took out a set of Swiss Army knives, and a knife popped out with a "snap".

Everyone searched him, but found no other tools.

"We can find the gaps between the bricks, hollow them out and take the bricks out, and the hole will appear." Fang Lan said excitedly, feeling hopeful. This is a technique she learned from the TV series "Prison Break".

Everyone became excited and looked around for loose walls.

Sure enough, Ellis found a place!
It was in the east corner of the wall, a hole that looked like it had been dug by a mouse, and was blocked by bricks at the back. But the bricks were filled with cement, and it would probably take a long time to dig it out bit by bit with a knife!
"Everyone, how long do you think this will take?" asked Ellis.

"Yeah, a long time." Fang Lan replied.

"How long will it take at least?" Ellis asked again.

"It takes longer to ride a horse!" Fang Lan joked.

Ellis frowned, then realized Fang Lan was joking, laughed out loud, punched her and said, "You are so optimistic, you can still joke at this time?"

"Isn't this a last-ditch effort before death? I feel quite excited." Fang Lan said with a smile, "There is no time to lose. Xiao Liu, you go and keep watch. Everyone will take turns digging. Change people every half an hour."

Everyone nodded, and Xiao Liu went to look out. Little Penguin was the first to start digging.

Fang Lan thought of another question and asked everyone: "Did you notice what this group of people do?"

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could explain it clearly, so they all quieted down and rested.

After a while, it was time to change shifts. Xiao Liu came over and said to Fang Lan and the others, "Do you know what these people do?"

"I don't know." Fang Lan shook her head, still smiling, and deliberately imitated the Cantonese accent.

"Haha." Xiao Liu gave a dry fake laugh and continued, "They are an organ trafficking organization! They arrested us to take our organs and sell them!"

Fang Lan almost fell down when she heard this, and everyone was stunned. If this was true, if they couldn't escape in time, it would be like falling into an endless hell, suffering the pain of having their eyes gouged out and their hearts ripped out!

"Everyone is working faster." Fang Lan said, pointing at Ellis who was digging between bricks.

Everyone nodded, thinking it was a good thing there were no cameras here.

At this moment, a pungent smell suddenly came from the house.
