Chapter 207
Chapter 207 Another Abduction
I deliberately slowed down to observe the vehicle behind me. After some distance, I was sure the SUV was talling me. I wanted to see who was in it, so I stopped at a convenience store to buy a water bottle.
I sipped the water and watched the SUV slowly pass by. However, it had tinted windows, and I couldn't see inside. I waited until it was far ahead before returning to my car. This time, I drove slowly and no longer saw the car following me. I relaxed and thought I might've been overly paranoid.
As I continued to drive, I came across a stretch of road along the coast. After passing through, I could get onto the highway back to the downtown area. However, I was wrong in assuming everything was fine. The SUV darted forward and blocked my path when I reached an intersection. I slammed the brakes and quickly locked my doors. I tried to reverse, but a black sedan had boxed me in. I didn't know when that sedan appeared.
However, two I panicked and called for someone on my phone, not even checking whose number I called. burly men with ski masks smashed my car window with fire axes. I couldn't react quickly, and the person!
called hadn't answered.
I screamed, but one of the men got into my car and covered my mouth and nose with something. Soon, I became lightheaded and lost consciousness. When I finally awoke, my head throbbed, and my mouth was dry.
I realized my hands were tied, too. I tried to move and make a sound, but they had taped my mouth shut.
I was frightened and trembled while continuing to struggle. Eventually, I freed one of my hands and looked around. I thought I was in a small abandoned factory when I saw the scattered tools.
However, I wondered why no one was around despite the chaos. I didn't know the time and soon realized my bag was missing. I remembered calling someone before falling unconscious but couldn't remember who I called or if the person answered.
I hoped the call went through before my phone slipped from my hand. Meanwhile, I prayed I had called someone close to me. If I had called a client, it would further complicate the situation.
I tried to remember the calls I had received earlier in the morning. They were mostly to verify shipments.
If it were someone from Urban Builders, they might have hung up immediately.
Meanwhile, I speculated who might want to kidnap me. Was it Celine or someone else? Nothing added up. After all, Celine could have easily apprehended me when we met at the club. Moreover, she told me
Celine was unlikely to do this. Perhaps it was my spontaneous visit to the club after receiving a call from the warehouse area. However, I didn't answer calls or Inform anyone of my whereabouts. Matthew was the only person I might have offended. Even so, his motive wouldn't make sense.
