    Chapter 761


    She put her luggage down and looked around. Fortunately, she did not have anything valuable with her.


    She sorted out her belongings a little and sighed as she saw the kettle. She decided to go outside to


    buy some mineral water for herself.


    When she passed by the front desk, the hotel owner was lying on the chair while ying with her cell


    phone. She burst intoughter now and then.


    Ste nced at her once and quickly looked away. There was a supermarket across the street, but


    the environment around Midtown didn’t look too safe.


    Ste came out from the store after buying some mineral water and vaguely saw a familiar car


    speeding by. She paused and pretended not to see it. Then, she walked in another direction.


    Ben sat inside the car and saw Ste emerging from the hotel earlier. He was a little worried and urged


    Weston,” Mr. Ford, this is not a safe ce, and the environment is appalling. Should we go and pick


    Ms. Steele up?”


    Weston rubbed his brow and looked at Ste walking away determinedly. He said in a low voice, “She’s


    the one who wants to go to such ces. Leave her be.”


    He figured it was probably better to let her suffer a little bit. She would know when toe back once


    she had suffered enough.


    After that, the car drove away. Ste was relieved and did not want to go back to that ce. She


    slowed down and walked on the street leisurely, thinking about what to do next. Then, she heard an old


    lady’s cry for helping from a distance.


    “Help! Help!”


    She frowned and walked over to the voice. “What happened?”


    She saw a gray-haired olddy dressed in thin clothes in an alley, lying in a corner next to a garbage


    can with an overwhelming stench and messy hair. There was some blood stain on her face too. She


    was helpless and asking for help.


    When she saw her, she choked out a sob. “Nice youngdy, help me. I fell, and I can’t stand up…”


    Ste did not think much and hurried forward. “Where’s your family? I’ll contact them for you.”


    “Thank you. Thank you, youngdy…”


    When Ste bent down to help the olddy, someone suddenly struck her from behind. A hard pain hit


    her.

    Ste realized something was wrong. Before she could


    shout for help, she had lost her strength and gone weak uncontrobly.


    She tried to open her eyes and struggled to see who had hit her. However, her eyelids grew heavy.


    Finally, her world went ck, and she passed out.


    A few gangsters in the quiet alley carried a woman into a van and quickly left. The car was going in a


    different direction from the luxury Cullinan . They were like two points of light destined to go in opposite


    directions and never intersect.


    Ste did not know how long she had cked out for. All she saw was nothing but darkness. There


    was still a dull pain in the back of her head. She was unsure if the impact had damaged her nerves.


    The sound of ringing would not stop in her head.


    The surrounding movement sounded far at times and near at times; it would be silent in a second and


    chaotic in the next. She shook her head and tried to clear up her mind slightly. She remained in the


    same posture as when she fainted and barely had any strength. After a little while, she opened her


    eyes.


    She looked down and found herself restrained to a rocking chair. Her limbs were tied to the chair, so


    she could not move.


    When she moved just a little, the rocking chair started


    moving at once. When it shook, it made a creaking sound.


    The room was already small and dim. Any slightest movement or noise was easily amplified and


    reverberated in the room.


    It seemed that the kidnapper had deliberately kept her tied up so that when she woke up, they would


    know immediately.
