Chapter 179 Kidnapping and Torture

"So, you are Mr. Lin Yan?"

"Yes."

"Your job... Oh no, what was your previous job?"

"Nursing. Before that, I also learned Sanda."

"Nursing? Which hospital?"

"Not a hospital, but a private clinic... Do you know Dr. Chu Muyun?"

In a cafe opposite the hospital, Chen Ling sat on the sofa opposite Wen Shilin and slowly pushed his glasses, like a highly cultured and kind scholar.

"Is it the legendary Chu Divine Doctor?" Wen Shilin raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I know, my colleague has interviewed him. Since you are Chu Divine Doctor's nurse, why do you want to apply for a job in the hospital?"

"I..." Chen Ling's eyes flashed with complexity, "I have some personal reasons."

Seeing this, Wen Shilin also tactfully did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject:

"Do you know the survivors in District 3?"

"No, I don't know."

"Then you took action yesterday, purely for justice?"

"I guess so, I just happened to see it and felt that the reporter was a little disgusting." Chen Ling smiled, "After all, not all reporters are as righteous as you."

Hearing this, Wen Shilin raised his eyebrows slightly, "I am righteous? How do you judge?"

Just based on your [Iron Fist of Justice]... Chen Ling thought secretly in his heart.

"You stand up for those refugees, so you are naturally not a bad person."

As Chen Ling said, at the same time, the waiter also brought three cups of coffee. He gently pinched the handle of the cup and took a sip.

Wen Shilin and Acheng on the opposite side also drank a few sips and put down their cups.

"There is another thing I am curious about... You knocked out several teeth of Zhuo Shuqing with one punch yesterday. You seem to be very strong. You also said that you learned Sanda just now..." Wen Shilin blinked and asked seriously, "If, I mean if... if you fought with that group of thugs yesterday, how many could you beat?"

Hearing this question, Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly. Judging from Wen Shilin's expression, this seemed to be the topic he was most interested in.

Acheng on the side also had a strange expression. He looked up and down at Chen Ling. Chen Ling's appearance did not show obvious muscles. He was probably about the same level as himself?

Acheng saw Chen Ling open his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something, but the next moment his eyes began to blacken, and his consciousness seemed to sink uncontrollably in the deep sea...

At the same time, a weak voice came from the side:

"Oh no... I got hit..."

Plop——

Their eyes fell into darkness.

...

After an unknown amount of time, a low roar came from the side.

Buzz——!!

It was like some large machine was starting up, and the gears meshed and made a sound like a beast's roar, which made people tremble. In such a noisy sound, Wen Shilin slowly opened his eyes...

In front of him, it was still pitch black.

A black cloth bag was put on his head, and his eyes could only feel a little light through the gaps between the fibers. The hot air he exhaled surged in the cloth bag, making him feel suffocated by burning.

He tried to take off the cloth bag, but his hands were locked tightly, and the clanging sound of the iron chain was drowned in the roar of the machine.

"Damn... there's something in the coffee?" Wen Shilin thought to himself, "Who wants to attack me? Qunxing Chamber of Commerce? White Swan Charity Foundation? Law Enforcement Officer Lu Songling? Qian Ao? Nangong Wei? Or someone higher? Is it [Qiong Xuan]? Or... that one?"

At this moment, countless names flashed through Wen Shilin's mind. He counted for more than ten seconds and still couldn't finish. At the same time, Ah Cheng's weak voice came from the side.

"Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen! Are you there?"

"I'm here!" Wen Shilin responded immediately, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Wen Shilin seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed, "Oh no, Lin Yan won't be involved too?!"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Wen Shilin just finished speaking, and a cough came from his left, followed by Chen Ling's voice, "Mr. Wen... where is this place? We... how are we here?"

Chen Ling's voice was a little flustered, but generally calm, not as panicked and flustered as Wen Shilin imagined.

A sense of guilt surged into Wen Shilin's heart. No matter who kidnapped them, it must be for him, and Chen Ling was just pulled by him for an interview, and stepped into someone else's trap together... He shouldn't be here.

"You can arrest me, but let Lin Yan go! He was dragged into this by me! He is innocent!" Wen Shilin took a deep breath and shouted.

Amid the humming of gears, a voice sounded slowly from the front:

"Wen Shilin, I remember we warned you."

It was a man's voice, as cold as an iceberg floating in the frozen sea. The moment he heard this voice, Wen Shilin's heart trembled, and his brain started working again.

"You are from the White Swan Charity Foundation... No, that's not right... You are from [Qiong Xuan]?"

"As expected of our Wenda reporter, you have offended many people..." The voice was getting closer and closer to him, almost whispering in his ear, "But you still ignored our warnings... Do you know how many people's fates are related to that incident? It's something that a small reporter like you can't check?"

Hearing this, Wen Shilin seemed to have thought of something and spoke with certainty:

"The 'Hand of Redemption' plan... I know, you are from [Tan Xin]!"

Ah Cheng on the side trembled slightly.

"Hehe."

The voice neither confirmed nor denied, but gradually moved away. After a moment, a cold gun was pressed against Wen Shilin's brow.

"I'll give you one last chance... where did you hide the things?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." After guessing the other party's origin, Wen Shilin calmed down and replied calmly, "If you have the guts, kill me."

"I know that Wen Da reporter is not afraid of death, but I don't know if your assistant is so tough?"

While speaking, the voice moved in front of Ah Cheng and said coldly:

"Tell me, where did he hide the things?"

"I... I don't know." Ah Cheng's voice trembled a little.

"Okay, then you go first." The sound of bullets being loaded sounded, and at this moment, Ah Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

"No, you can't kill me!" Ah Cheng immediately said, "Brother, this is a misunderstanding! I was secretly watching Wen Shilin under the order of Chief Chu. I stole all the articles and evidence about the "Hand of Redemption" plan and placed them in the designated location yesterday... Didn't you receive them?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the man holding the gun was obviously stunned.

Wen Shilin was also stunned.

In the huge venue, the only sound was the low humming and rumbling of the equipment.
