Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 448: Perilous Journey in France



At that time, a burly man appeared behind her, scooped up Yuan Shanshan, then opened the car door and stuffed her in. The coordination between the two men, inside and outside the car, was seamless. Pedestrians on the road hardly noticed as they had already kidnapped Yuan Shanshan. When Hao Jian and Shu Ya came out, they discovered that Yuan Shanshan had vanished without a trace. "Where did Yuan Shanshan go? Didn't we tell her to wait for us outside?" Shu Ya said puzzled, just as the car that was supposed to pick them up had arrived. "She must have gone back on her own," Hao Jian suggested. "That's impossible, she wouldn't just leave without saying a word to us," Shu Ya retorted irritably, glancing at Hao Jian. Yuan Shanshan wasn't the type to act so irresponsibly. "Well, you never know, perhaps she wanted to give us some alone time?" Hao Jian teased, winking at Shu Ya, "Wife, why don't we go shopping then?" "Go shopping, my ass. You might be fine after a ten-hour flight, but I'm falling apart here!" Shu Ya rolled her eyes, devoid of any energy. All she wanted now was to head back to the hotel, take a hot shower, and then sleep beautifully. After over ten hours on the plane, she was exhausted, her back and waist aching. Hao Jian's mouth formed an "O" as he exclaimed in surprise: "Wife, you swear!" "It doesn't matter anyway, this is France, there are no Huaxia people around, and these foreigners don't understand, so what does it matter?" Shu Ya said, nonchalantly shrugging. In fact, she had long wanted to experience the feeling of swearing in the streets, but had never had the chance. Of course, she would never have had such absurd thoughts before meeting someone named Hao Jian. "But I understand," Hao Jian said with a wry smile. Shouldn't you consider my feelings a bit? What is it like seeing your dignified and proud wife swearing in the streets? Embarrassing! Shu Ya glanced at Hao Jian: "Cut it out, scumbag isn't even human!" "I..." .... "Excuse me, has Miss Yuan Shanshan checked in yet?" Half an hour later, Hao Jian and Shu Ya arrived at the hotel lobby and asked one of the front desk clerks. "Please wait a moment, I'll check for you!" The clerk said politely, then looked down to check and soon shook her head, "I'm sorry, Miss Yuan Shanshan has not checked in yet!" "She hasn't checked in yet? So, where did that girl run off to?" Shu Ya was completely speechless. It was Yuan Shanshan's first time in France, in a completely unfamiliar place, where could she go? At that moment, Hao Jian also realized something was wrong. He immediately took out his phone to call Yuan Shanshan, only to find her phone was turned off. Shortly thereafter, Hao Jian's eyebrows knitted closely together. Yuan Shanshan definitely wouldn't turn off her phone without a reason, and the problem had started right from the airport, meaning something might have happened to her. "What should we do now?" Shu Ya couldn't help but panic, now realizing the seriousness of the situation. Though she was experienced in business, personal safety issues were completely out of her depth. "We must find her, even if it means searching every inch of the ground!" Hao Jian said sternly, his face full of determination. Meanwhile, the kidnapped Yuan Shanshan slowly regained consciousness, her groggy eyes trembling, unable to open, but her ears caught sound first. She heard a stream of jarring electronic music, along with two men speaking in English. "Tucker, I never thought we'd score such a hot chick on this outing, and a Huaxia beauty no less. She'll definitely fetch a high price!" said the handsome young man. "Yeah, Armstrong, but let me have a taste first before we sell her. I've never been with a Huaxia beauty," the other burly man chuckled. "First, let's take her back and check if she's a virgin. If she's not, you can do whatever you want with her, but if she is, then you're out of luck. You know the boss doesn't allow us to mess with virgins. Each virgin can sell for tens or even hundreds of thousands, especially stunning beauties like her, she's worth even more, easily three or four hundred thousand!" Armstrong explained. Yuan Shanshan heard everything clearly and began to grasp the situation; these two guys must be part of a criminal gang that trafficked women. Yuan Shanshan was on the brink of tears due to her misfortune. Why was she so unlucky - kidnapped by a criminal gang on her very first day in France. This was mainly because she was beautiful and alone, which drew the attention of Armstrong and Tucker, who often prowled around the airport looking for solo female travelers to prey on. Because these kinds of girls weren't local, they were harder to trace. Even if their families noticed their disappearance and reported it immediately, it would take days for the information to reach France and start official proceedings. During these days, they could easily transport the girls around the world. Yuan Shanshan dared not open her eyes and pretended to still be unconscious while reaching for her phone in her pocket to call Hao Jian for help. But when her hand touched the pocket, she realized her phone had disappeared. Armstrong had thrown away her phone after capturing her. These international criminal organizations had strict discipline and were highly capable of countering surveillance. This realization plunged Yuan Shanshan into complete despair, feeling utterly trapped with no escape. Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly remembered the smartwatch Hao Jian had given her. Hao Jian told her that the watch was equipped with satellite communication and location systems, broadcasting signals through satellite that covered every place on the globe. Originally, the watch was military equipment and had been used by Hao Jian, but Yuan Shanshan took a liking to its cool appearance, so she took it for herself. Yuan Shanshan didn't care about the positioning system or satellite communications; she cared only about the watch's cool appearance. Of course, Yuan Shanshan had absolutely no idea that the cost of this single watch could compare to a million-dollar BMW. At this time, Yuan Shanshan hadn't anticipated that the watch would actually come in handy. She slowly extended her hand to fiddle with the watch and then dialed Hao Jian's number. Since it was military-grade equipment, naturally, it didn't require any charge for the call. At this moment, Hao Jian was pondering how to find Yuan Shanshan when suddenly a foreign number appeared on his phone. The moment Hao Jian saw the number, he knew it was from the satellite watch. This confirmed his suspicion that Yuan Shanshan was calling from the watch and not her phone, which definitely meant trouble. "Shanshan, where are you?" came Hao Jian's anxious voice from the other end. Yuan Shanshan quickly tucked her body in, covering the watch with both hands to ensure that only she could hear Hao Jian's voice. Hearing Hao Jian's anxious voice, Yuan Shanshan immediately burst into tears, her voice choked as she said, "I... I don't know!" "Is there anyone else around you?" Hao Jian could sense Yuan Shanshan purposely lowering her voice, seemingly afraid of being overheard. "There are two men, they kidnapped me, I... I don't know what to do." Yuan Shanshan was nearly sobbing. "Calm down, listen to me!" Hao Jian said to Yuan Shanshan gravely, emphasizing the need to remain calm now more than ever. At that moment, the usually easygoing Hao Jian's face had turned resolute and stern. The ferocious aspect of him seemed to have resurfaced. Only then did Yuan Shanshan manage to stifle her sobs and quiet down. "Can you see their faces?" Hao Jian asked. "One of them has blue eyes and blond hair, a square face, speaking English," Yuan Shanshan responded. She had only seen Strang; she hadn't gotten a good look at Tucker. Even for Strang, she had only caught a fleeting glimpse, not remembering too many facial details. Hao Jian frowned, knowing that just with this information, he wouldn't be able to track them effectively. "Anything else?" "I can't see," Yuan Shanshan said with a sobbing voice. At that, Hao Jian took a deep breath: "Shanshan, from now on, you need to listen carefully to every single word I say. What I'm about to instruct you to do is crucial!" Then, Shu Ya noticed the focused and serious expression on Hao Jian's face and was momentarily captivated by it. "First, take a deep breath, calm yourself. You must believe that I will definitely rescue you!" Hao Jian said. Yuan Shanshan hurriedly did as told, taking a deep breath, which indeed stabilized her trembling body under Hao Jian's directive. "Now, move the watch as close to them as possible so I can hear their conversation as much as possible, then take it back after fifteen seconds." Hao Jian commanded. Yuan Shanshan suppressed her inner fear and unease, slowly moving the watch closer to where Strang and the other man were, being extremely cautious not to alert them. Meanwhile, Hao Jian activated the recording function on his phone. After fifteen seconds, Yuan Shanshan brought the watch back and asked anxiously, "Did you hear?" "I heard. Now, Shanshan, this is the most critical step, listen very carefully..." Hao Jian's voice grew solemn. Yuan Shanshan held her breath, sensing the change in Hao Jian's tone. Hao Jian sighed, "They will take you to a place we cannot find." Upon hearing this, Yuan Shanshan immediately burst into tears again, devastated by the thought of never being able to return home. "So, you need to pay close attention to every word I'm about to say, you'll probably only have fifteen, at most twenty seconds. During these twenty seconds, I need you to draw their attention; when they turn around, shout out their height, appearance, including hairstyle, tattoos, scars, and so on. Can you do that?" "I can!" Yuan Shanshan nodded vigorously, understanding that Hao Jian was making every effort to rescue her. Only by knowing their physical characteristics could Hao Jian find these men and rescue her.
