Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Help Me Get Her, and I’ll Agree to Your Terms

Shen Yanhe shook her head, "No, I haven’t seen her since that meeting in the conference room. After that, I went back to the hotel, and my husband can vouch for me."

The police recorded her statement in a booklet and nodded upon hearing it, then asked, "Is it possible to have your husband come out for a moment?"

"He went to deal with some work, but I can call him," said Shen Yanhe as she dialed Fu Yanhe’s number. She remembered the content of the note, paused, and then asked, "Have you found out where Lu Wan went after she left the hospital?"

"We are still investigating the exact location of the disappearance. The information we’ve gathered so far only indicates that after leaving the hospital, she met with a friend to go to a bar. A colleague of mine is already investigating that bar," replied the younger policeman instinctively.

At that moment, the phone connected, and Fu Yanhe’s clear voice came through, "Yanyan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

His voice was always pleasant to hear, and through the phone, it took on an even more magnetic and unbelievably gentle tone.

Shen Yanhe’s ears tinged red, and she calmly stated, "No, a girl has gone missing, and the police came to ask a few questions."

After speaking, Shen Yanhe switched on the speakerphone, the police routinely asked Fu Yanhe a few questions, and after confirming that Shen Yanhe hadn’t seen Lu Wan since leaving the hospital, they left.

Shen Yanhe turned off the speakerphone and briefly told Fu Yanhe about seeing the note at the door. Her eyes slightly narrowed as she then turned to look at the gradually darkening sky outside and said, "I’ll go check out the location on the note first, arrange for someone to meet me there."

Fu Yanhe responded, "Okay."

-

Elsewhere.

In a dimly lit, cramped room filled with the smell of sweaty odors, Lu Wan slowly came to.

As soon as she opened her eyes, in the dim room alongside her, she saw several other girls dressed scantily who were still unconscious.

Lu Wan sat on the damp, cold ground, still somewhat dazed.

She vividly remembered that when she left the hospital, she was depressed and had even called her close friend, Jiang Li, to complain about Shen Yanhe. Jiang Li suggested they go out to divert her mind, which led them to a bar.

But when they reached the bar, it looked rundown from the outside, and she initially didn’t want to enter. Yet, Jiang Li convinced her that the shabby exterior was deceptive and that wonders lay inside.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she entered with Jiang Li, only to find it was similar to any other bar. Feeling depressed and having no desire to leave, she stayed and drank some wine with Jiang Li.

After that, she lost consciousness.

When she awoke, she was here.

Where was Jiang Li?

As Lu Wan’s groggy mind became clearer, she looked around and didn’t see Jiang Li among the unconscious girls, leading to a terrifying suspicion creeping up on her, making her shiver.

She couldn’t have been caught up in human trafficking, could she?

Just then, the tightly shut door was pushed open from the outside, and Lu Wan looked on in horror.

A young man with dyed green hair came in, picking his teeth, and seeing the seated Lu Wan, he raised an eyebrow, "Yo, looks like someone’s awake?"

"Who are you? Where is this? Where’s Jiang Li? Where is she!" Lu Wan fearfully shuffled backward, gathering her courage to question him repeatedly.

"Tsk, tsk, still thinking about Jiang Li, huh? That girl has already sold you to me for thirty thousand yuan," the green-haired young man sneered as he looked mockingly at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her ears buzzing and her mind blanking, she incredulously asked, "What, what did you say? Jiang Li sold me to you?"

Jiang Li was a child from a poor family whom Lu Wan’s family had sponsored for education.

Her parents had committed crimes and were imprisoned, leaving her to live alone with her elderly grandmother.

To make ends meet, Jiang Li used to collect garbage with nylon bags and sell it, which Lu Wan’s mother witnessed first hand and out of compassion, started sponsoring her education.

Not long after Lu Wan started school, she met Jiang Li and learned about her background from her mother, which made her feel a bit of pity for her, and gradually they became good friends.

But she never imagined Jiang Li would end up betraying her?

Lu Wan couldn’t accept it.

"Yes," the green-haired youth said with a bamboo skewer in his mouth, squatting in front of Lu Wan, looking at her lustfully, "You really are a rich family’s child, quite pretty. These thirty thousand yuan were well spent."

Horrified and scared, Lu Wan stepped back, struggling to suppress her panic, and said to the green-haired youth, "My family is wealthy, I am the cousin of the Jingcheng Lu Family’s head! Let me go, and I can give you five million yuan!"

The green-haired youth sneered with disdain, "A mere five million yuan, that’s beggar’s change?"

They, who dealt in this kind of business, would they lack five million yuan?

If they sent Lu Wan to their higher-ups, and their higher-ups were pleased, who knows, they might even reward him with tens of millions!

He was not in the business of bartering.

"I advise you to just stay put," the green-haired youth patted Lu Wan’s face, stood up, and left the room.

Lu Wan sat rigidly in the room, regretting intensely. If only she had known, she would never have agreed to go out with Jiang Li.

Her eyes were red with tears, unable to stop crying, her heart filled with despair.

What now?

Who could come to save her?

-

Meanwhile, Shen Yanhe arrived at the address on the note.

Standing at the entrance of the bar, she listened to the deafening music spilling out, slightly arching her brow, and took another look at the door number for confirmation.

Number forty-four Luohua Lane, it was actually a bar?

Shen Yanhe, with one hand in her pocket, walked into the bar with long strides.

The lighting in the bar flickered, many men and women were dancing in the dance area, and others were drinking and talking; it seemed quite like a normal bar.

Upon her entrance, Shen Yanhe’s delicate and beautiful appearance immediately drew the attention of many men in the bar.

Her skin was like snow, bright eyes and white teeth, soft long hair, dressed simply in a white shirt and washed jeans, resembling a naive university student freshly out of school, exuding an aura of purity all around.

In a corner of the bar, Luo Bu was embracing a young girl with shoulder-length curly hair, drinking casually, when his eyes unintentionally caught Shen Yanhe who walked in, and he could no longer look away.

In all his years in Daxia, he had never seen such a beautiful girl, he simply couldn’t describe her face with words.

Jiang Li, leaning on Luo Bu, noticed his distraction, looked up at him, and sweetly cooed in a sugary voice, "Mr. Luo? You promised me, right, to sell her deep into the mountains, never to let her come back."

Jiang Li’s eyes flickered with a malicious gleam.

As long as Lu Wan, that naive and foolish girl, was sold into the mountains, she would have a shot at being accepted as a goddaughter by Mrs. Lu.

Then, she could enjoy the prosperity and riches of the Lu Family.

She wouldn’t have to sell her body for a designer bag anymore.

Awoken by her calling, Luo Bu regained his senses, his eyes still holding a trace of amazement. Seeing Jiang Li’s heavily made-up face, he felt suddenly desolate.

Pushing Jiang Li away, he picked up a glass from the table and took a sip, then looked lasciviously in Shen Yanhe’s direction, pointing at her and said, "Just help me get her, and you have my word."
