Chapter 610: Chapter 610
Zhang Sanfeng and Xiao Yebai were among the group of children kidnapped by the Black Hat at the same time. According to Zhang Sanfeng:
"I can’t remember it very clearly, as it was too dark to see clearly. On the island, it was constantly dark. Perhaps there was a gathering when we were being transported, but without any fire, all you could see were pairs of eyes all around. Thinking about it now still sends shivers down my spine, because it felt like being in a den of wolves or a nest of rats."
In the room, there were only Gu Nuan and Zhang Sanfeng.
Outside the window, thunderstorms raged on, the storm showed no signs of abating.
Later, Gu Nuan thought that her husband had suddenly brought her and her family members to enjoy a mountain hike as if it were a leisure trip, but in reality, it was all part of a chess move. Because in such terrible weather, the signal was bound to be even worse. At least, her cellphone, in her hands right now, had absolutely no signal.
It seemed as though they were trapped on this mountain, cut off from contact with the outside world. This situation was the same for their adversaries, making it impossible for them to steal any messages from them at this time.
Undoubtedly, Xiao Yebai and Zhang Sanfeng subconsciously understood the Black Hat’s modus operandi very well. The Black Hat liked to make their move in such weather.
"Like a crocodile. Crocodiles in the night, if you have seen the movies, should be very clear, the crocodiles in the darkness, are far more fearsome than those in daylight. Not to mention their attack power," he said.
As Zhang Sanfeng spoke these words, a sinister breeze seemed to blow into the room simultaneously from the pitch-black darkness outside. Gu Nuan suddenly felt a chilling cold sweep over her entire body, as if there indeed were some of those slick, black eyeballs around her like Zhang Sanfeng had mentioned. A rat’s nest? A wolf’s den? Or was it a crocodile pond in the darkness?
"Xiao Yebai and I, along with five other children, were kept in a room," he said.
Hearing this, Gu Nuan understood and said, "So there were seven of you brothers in total."
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head: "Xiaolian is Xiaojiu, brought by the eldest brother. Because Yebai’s mental state was unstable, he needed someone to watch over him. Xiaolian was never kidnapped by them."
Gu Nuan recalled that indeed, Zang Xiaolian had never mentioned being kidnapped. Moreover, Zang Xiaolian seemed unable to explain as clearly the details of Xiao Yebai’s kidnapping. It turned out this was the reason.
So, these children who had undergone similarly horrifying experiences, who then became ’brothers in adversity,’ totaled seven? Besides Xiao Yebai, Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhan Dapeng, who were the others?
It must first be mentioned that during their kidnapping, they had endured unimaginable experiences.
"Why didn’t we say anything when we escaped and the police found us?" Zhang Sanfeng said, his remarkably handsome face swallowed by the shadows. The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Gu Nuan could distinctly feel an intensely complex emotion emanating from him, like a hurricane.
Was he filled with anger, sorrow, helplessness?
"Some of you didn’t make it out, did you?" Gu Nuan said.
Zhang Sanfeng looked up at her briefly, his lips curling into a slight smile as if amused: "Sister-in-law, you are really too clever."
So, she had guessed correctly. Of the seven people, at least one had not escaped with them.
"The fifth child fell into that pond, we do not know whether he is dead or alive, so for the only sliver of hope we cling to, we hope he is alive. We couldn’t say anything. It was as though, there was an unspoken agreement with the Black Hat. We wouldn’t reveal their deeds, and they would definitely spare the fifth child’s life first."
