Chapter 555: Finding Mengyao
Qi Tongwei knocked on the door with interest, and the knock sounded particularly crisp in the quiet night.
The scammer was very angry. When he heard the knock on the door, he started cursing.
He casually found a coat and put it on while yelling at the top of his lungs, "Where the fuck is the soul calling?"
"Here you are, you damn fool, you have no brains. Who would be a good person knocking on my door in the middle of the night? I don't think it's a human being. Maybe it's a wronged ghost looking for me to take my life."
He cursed as he buttoned his shirt tremblingly, his hands looking a little clumsy due to anger and fear.
When he said the last sentence "It may not be a human", he seemed to be frightened by the thought himself. His voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, and his eyes glanced at the darkness around him, as if there was really something terrifying hiding in the shadows.
He slipped on his shoes, slowly moved to the door, and looked out through the peephole.
All I saw was a man dressed in black, his figure looking mysterious and oppressive in the dim light.
The scammer's heart skipped a beat, but he still opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, before he could see the full appearance of the person coming, Qi Tongwei took quick action.
His arm appeared out of thin air like a sword drawn from its sheath, and accurately grabbed the neck of the fraudster, Fate.
Qi Tongwei's hands locked the scammer tightly like an iron clamp, making him unable to move.
"You made it easy for me to find you."
Qi Tongwei squeezed out these words from between his teeth. His eyes were as cold as a lake in winter, filled with deep anger and disdain.
The scammer was stunned by the sudden attack, his eyes widened with fear.
He wanted to struggle, but no matter how he twisted his body, he couldn't get free.
His face turned red and his breathing became rapid. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he could only make "wuwu" sounds.
He kicked his feet on the ground, trying to find a foothold to break free from Qi Tongwei's control, but it was all in vain.
Chen Ran watched this scene from behind and secretly admired Qi Tongwei's skills.
He knew that this fraudster was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Qi Tongwei, and had no power to fight back.
In the face of absolute strength, everything is just a cloud!
The man struggled instantly, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and anger.
He raised his fist and hit Qi Tongwei's arm with all his strength. The fist was filled with his unwillingness and resistance, and it made a whistling sound.
However, Qi Tongwei's arm was like an extremely hard pair of pliers, and it did not move at all.
Every time the man's fist hit it, it was like hitting steel. There was only a dull thud, but it had no effect on Qi Tongwei at all.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were cold and firm. He grabbed the scammer's neck tightly, and the strength in his hands was just right, which prevented the scammer from breaking free but did not suffocate him.
His body was as steady as a rock, and his feet seemed to be rooted. No matter how the scammer struggled and twisted, he did not move at all.
The woman in the house panicked when she saw this.
Her eyes widened instantly, filled with fear, and her originally numb face was now filled with panic.
She hurriedly picked up the clothes and wrapped them around herself. Her movements were very clumsy because of her excessive nervousness. The clothes were like a tangled mess in her hands and she couldn't wrap them properly.
Her lips began to tremble and she let out a scream. The sound echoed in the small room, sharp and piercing, as if it would pierce one's eardrums.
Her legs seemed to have lost the strength to support her body, and she staggered towards the door, trying to escape from this suddenly dangerous place.
There was only one thought in her eyes, and that was to leave here and get away from this horrible scene.
Her hair became more messy as she ran, and her body kept bumping into the debris around her, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She just wanted to rush out the door, as if that was her only way to survive.
Chen Ran quickly blocked the door, his body like a solid wall, blocking the woman's way.
He looked at the woman with sharp eyes, which were like the blade of a knife, revealing a cold and intimidating power.
The woman suddenly felt as if all her strength was drained away, her legs went limp, and she knelt on the ground.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and tears burst out like a flood, and she cried uncontrollably.
The cry was filled with fear and helplessness, echoing in the small room.
Suddenly, Qi Tongwei heard some movement in the house.
The movement was very slight, like someone moving cautiously, or like suppressed breathing.
Qi Tongwei's ears moved slightly, and his keen senses immediately detected something unusual.
Without any hesitation, he turned around and winked at Chen Ran.
That look contained clear instructions and vigilance against unknown dangers.
After receiving Qi Tongwei's signal, Chen Ran immediately rushed into the bedroom like a cheetah.
The bedroom was filled with a gloomy atmosphere and was dimly lit, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the gaps in the curtains.
Chen Ran's eyes quickly adapted to the dim environment, and his gaze quickly scanned the bedroom.
Sure enough, he found a woman in a strange condition on the bed.
The woman lay quietly on the bed, curled up in a ball, as if trying hard to hide herself.
Her hair was messy like weeds, covering most of her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
There was a look of extreme fear and confusion in those eyes, staring straight at Chen Ran, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Her lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out, as if something was strangling her throat.
She was covered with a tattered quilt, but it seemed as if she was clutching the quilt tightly, and her fingers turned pale from the force.
Her body twitched slightly from time to time, as if she was enduring some great pain or fear.
The whole scene looks very strange, which makes people suspicious.
Chen Ran frowned and approached the bed cautiously. He didn't know what had happened to this woman, but he could feel that this woman must be hiding a secret related to this fraud gang.
Chen Ran approached the woman. His movements were very gentle and slow, his eyes fixed on the woman in the bed who was in a strange situation.
When he got close enough, he lowered his head slightly and sniffed gently.
A faint but somewhat pungent smell entered his nostrils, a strange smell mixed with chemicals and human sweat.
His brows instantly furrowed like two tightly twisted knots.
A hint of surprise and worry flashed in his eyes, and his expression became solemn.
He straightened up, turned around, walked quickly to Qi Tongwei, and said in a low voice: "Captain, she... was injected with hallucinogens."
Although Chen Ran's voice was soft, it was full of seriousness. He knew that hallucinogens were not ordinary things; they were a type of illegal drug.
Although the addictiveness and dependence of this drug are not as strong as other illicit drugs, the damage it causes to the human body cannot be underestimated.
After hearing what Chen Ran said, Qi Tongwei's eyes became cold.
He looked at the woman on the bed again, anger welling up in his heart.
He knew that these fraudsters were so cruel as to use such illegal drugs on innocent people in order to achieve their own goals.
Chen Ran continued, "Hallucinogens are very tricky. They disrupt the human nervous system and cause all sorts of hallucinations."
"This woman must be in a terrible state right now. She may have seen many things that don't exist and is filled with fear."
"And long-term use can cause irreversible damage to the brain and even affect other organs in the body."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists.
He recalled what he had learned about hallucinogens during training, and the tragic conditions of those who had been tortured by hallucinogens emerged in his mind.
He looked at the woman on the bed, his heart filled with sympathy, but at the same time he hated the evil deeds of these scammers even more.
Qi Tongwei nodded, his eyes scanning the room as if looking for some clues.
He said, "We have to find Mengyao as soon as possible. I wonder if she has also encountered the same situation."
"These scammers must have many hidden secrets. We need to search this place thoroughly."
Chen Ran responded and walked towards the woman beside the bed again, wanting to see if he could get some useful information from her.
He knew that this woman was now a key breakthrough, and perhaps she could provide some clues about the fraud gang and Mengyao's whereabouts.
Qi Tongwei looked at the man whose neck he had grabbed. The man's eyes had begun to roll up, and his face and neck were a suffocating purple color.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei let go of his hand.
The man knelt on the ground as eagerly as a puddle of mud, taking in big gulps of air, making a "whoosh" sound in his throat, as if he was going to inhale all the air in the world into his lungs in the next second.
At this time, the three people in the room were all in their own troubles.
Qi Tongwei frowned, looked around the room, and then walked into the house.
When his eyes fell on the woman on the bed, his heart tightened, and he found that the woman on the bed was Meng Yao.
After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Chen Ran hurried over. He stared at the woman on the bed for a moment, his eyes widening as shock filled his face. After a long moment, he said in disbelief, "That's Mengyao?"
"Oh my god, how could he have changed so much? I can hardly recognize him as the same person."
Chen Ran couldn't help but think of Meng Yao's previous appearance.
In the past, Mengyao’s photos always showed her with exaggerated heavy makeup. The makeup looked like a thick mask, and the colors were so strong that they were a bit dazzling.
Her face always looks plump, like a ripe peach, with a healthy glow.
At that time, her eyes were bright and lively, her cheeks were round, and she was full of energy and vigor.
However, the skinny woman in front of him was completely different from the Mengyao before.
Her body was so thin that it seemed as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind, and her once plump cheeks had sunken deeply.
The eye sockets were sunken, and the eyes appeared particularly large in the deep sockets, but they had lost their former brilliance, leaving only emptiness and confusion.
Her skin became rough and bloodless, covered with fine lines.
Her hair was dry and rough, scattered lifelessly on the pillow like a pile of messy hay.
This huge contrast makes it difficult to associate the haggard woman in front of them with the energetic Mengyao from before.
Chen Ran's heart was filled with heartache and anger. He clenched his fists and secretly vowed to make those who hurt Meng Yao pay the price.
