Free Web NovelChapter 1708: Chapter 1708: Where Are They Being Held
Ye Ning sneered inwardly, but still looked weakly at him, "Are you the type who gets paid a lot to kill people with a whole bunch of weapons?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Wow, who would be so rich to hire you? The person hiring you must be quite powerful."
Hearing her say that suddenly, he snorted, "No, they’re just some lackey politicians, nothing impressive."
Politicians.
Ye Ning thought again of those special agents from M Country.
She nodded and looked at him, "Politicians? That means it’s the government hiring you, wow, amazing, you can even collaborate with them."
"Hah, what do they amount to? We’re only dealing with them for the money."
"Is it from Z Country? I only know the ones from Z Country."
"Of course not, Z Country wouldn’t hire mercenaries, it’s others, big countries, ones you can’t even imagine."
Big countries?
Ye Ning squinted her eyes.
This was very close to her own thoughts.
She smiled, "Really... I’m so hungry, where’s my friend? Is she okay? Why do you take us when doing your missions?"
"Her? She’s fine."
"Can I see her? Can we be together? I... I’m really scared alone."
"Her? She has other places to be. How are you alone? You still have me."
While talking, unexpectedly, someone came in from outside.
"Hey, Hei Zi, what are you doing? Who told you to come in on your own?" The tall, skinny guy shouted upon entering.
The man called Hei Zi looked back at the newcomer, pulled him outside, and said, "Never mind, really, what about that woman?"
"Still making a scene over there, don’t mess around, when we reach the place, sell her if you can. We don’t want trouble; we only brought her because she saw us and she looks good enough to fetch a high price. They’ve already picked out buyers for us, very wealthy ones, they’ll treat her well when we get back."
Ye Ning’s ears worked better than usual people’s. They thought she couldn’t hear, but she picked up many pieces, guessing their meanings fully.
Si Wen should also be here but locked in another place.
And the buyers they mentioned aren’t ordinary, probably some prestigious people privately acquiring tools for personal use, keeping them to play with anytime.
A woman traveling alone must be vigilant; this world contains beasts not treating people like people.
She watched them close the door, sat down, peering through the window outside.
Unfortunately, there was no way to contact Gong Ye now, as she carefully examined this ship.
From the markings below, she quickly deduced the model of this ship.
Fortunately, these don’t require checking; she still has memory.
Knowing the model, the basic structure of the ship formed in her mind.
Currently, she’s on the second level, with two levels above, two below, totaling a five-layered small cruise ship, offering plenty of spaces to stash people, so where could Si Wen be?
She scanned the surroundings.
Being above doesn’t seem likely; someone as important as Si Wen could potentially escape there, so she must be detained in one of the two lower decks underneath the deck.
The bottom deck houses the crew’s resting room, cramped, stuffy, windowless.
She felt the likelihood of Si Wen being held below was the greatest.
