Inside the car, Jiao Xinlei kept teasing San Zai'er. After discovering it wasn't dangerous, she became interested.
Her choice to become a cashier at a pet store was largely because she liked small animals.
Even though San Zai'er put on an extremely aloof demeanor, she still eagerly went to serve it.
"San Zai'er is so well-behaved, why did it burrow into someone's clothes?"
She glared at Wen Wen and said, "You pervert must have taught it!"
"You're really wronging me here. Why would I teach it something like that?" Wen Wen said with a wry smile, truly a disaster out of nowhere.
Jiao Xinlei didn't believe him. "You were smelling it just now, you definitely taught it."
"Let's make this clear. While I may be a pervert, my taste is normal. You're not my type, so why would I teach it to crawl into your clothes and make myself uncomfortable?"
Wen Wen's words angered Jiao Xinlei so much that she wanted to pinch his arm. He spoke so directly; no wonder he didn't have a girlfriend at his age.
But suddenly, the "Iron Rod Song" rang out. Wen Wen received a call.
He picked up the phone and saw it was Zhao Jinwu calling.
"What, did you finish what I asked you to do?" Wen Wen asked with a cold tone.
Zhao Jinwu said subserviently, "Done, done. I found people working for bald Cheng in the west of the city. Their people are the most ruthless and dark-hearted."
"Ruthless is good, I'm afraid of those who aren't," Wen Wen nodded with satisfaction. Hiring Zhao Jinwu for this kind of thing was convenient.
"The time is today. They are looking for you everywhere. I didn't reveal your identity. Go to bald Cheng's territory in the west of the city, find a conspicuous place to show yourself, and they will find you."
After discussing some details with Zhao Jinwu, Wen Wen said, "Then hang up. You won't be shortchanged after this is done."
After hanging up, Wen Wen looked at Jiao Xinlei and then gave a hidden smile.
Following that, his expression turned grim, and he drove directly towards the west of the city, leaving Jiao Xinlei confused and forgetting to even ask about San Zai'er.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wen Wen's face showed a look of grief, as if he were a warrior about to face death.
"I've gotten into trouble."
"What trouble?"
Jiao Xinlei's eyes widened. What kind of trouble could make him like this?
"I can't say. But please drive my car back for me later."
After that, Wen Wen fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere filled the car.
Jiao Xinlei asked question after question, hoping to help Wen Wen, but he just shook his head and said nothing, which made her even more worried.
Soon, Wen Wen arrived at his destination, outside a bathhouse in the west of the city.
"Wait here. If I don't come back, you must protect my car."
After speaking, he got out of the car and swaggered back and forth at the entrance of the bathhouse. Soon, he was spotted by several men idly chatting nearby.
Their boss had offered a reward of ten thousand yuan to whoever captured this person!
Wen Wen seemed oblivious, wandering around the area aimlessly.
A moment later, to Jiao Xinlei's horrified gaze, a man approached Wen Wen from behind, hit him on the back of the head with a brick, and then several people surrounded him, stuffed him into a sack, and put him into a minivan.
Jiao Xinlei covered her mouth, terrified and panicked, but she remembered Wen Wen's instructions and dared not go out.
She could see death, but she hadn't yet mastered combat abilities.
Most superhumans took a long time to figure out what their abilities were and what they could do.
This period was an exploration phase. Superhumans like Wen Wen, who clearly knew what abilities they possessed, were actually rare.
After a moment of flusteredness, she calmed down and directly called Lin Zhe Yuan.
"Captain Lin, something terrible has happened!"
Hearing Jiao Xinlei's terrified tone, Lin Zhe Yuan also tensed up. "What is it?"
"Wen Wen has been captured!"
Lin Zhe Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Who captured him? Blood of Blasphemy, Absurd Words, or some other secret organization..."
"No... it's gangsters, but they're fierce!" Jiao Xinlei choked out.
Lin Zhe Yuan's expression immediately calmed down, then he didn't reply and hung up the phone.
Was she trying to fool him?
If you told him a grown man was arrested by the police, he would believe it. If you told him he was arrested by gangsters, he would also believe it. But if you told him he was kidnapped by the ringleaders of the kindergarten class in the north of the city, wasn't that a joke?
Listening to the dial tone, Jiao Xinlei also calmed down.
She had personally witnessed Wen Wen's terror. How could such a powerful superhuman be kidnapped by ordinary people...
The reason she was fooled earlier was that Wen Wen had created too bleak an atmosphere.
Now that she thought about it, Wen Wen was probably toying with her.
Otherwise, in such a tense state, why would he keep emphasizing his car?
...
The hood covering his face was lifted, and Wen Wen saw where he was.
It was a dilapidated factory.
Such places were not visible ordinarily, but if you wanted to find them, you always could.
His upper clothing was removed, his limbs were spread apart, and he was hung up with ropes, looking extremely miserable.
Five men stood around him, none of whom looked like good people.
They were the subordinates of bald Cheng that Zhao Jinwu had mentioned on the phone, truly thugs living in the dark side of society.
Compared to these people, the colorful youths Wilson had killed in the underpass were pure and innocent children.
"Kid, you're awake."
A flat-headed man with a scar on his face pinched Wen Wen's chin, forcing him to lift his head.
Wen Wen feigned terror, looking at the scar-faced man, but there was no fear in his eyes; he even wanted to laugh.
"Heh heh, look how scared this kid is."
The scar-faced man laughed heartily, then directly whipped Wen Wen's body. The spot turned black and blue.
Wen Wen gritted his teeth and did not cry out. He could endure this kind of pain.
"Your muscles are quite strong. For an ordinary person, one whip from me would have already torn their skin."
The scar-faced man reached out and vigorously rubbed the wound, saying in surprise.
To prevent his overly powerful physique from affecting this kidnapping incident, Wen Wen was currently using the Puppeteer constitution.
The combination of Xu Hai's frail body and Wen Wen's inherent powerful physique resulted in a synergy of less than 0.5, preventing his physique from being too outstanding.
However, even after being reduced, Wen Wen's physical fitness was still much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he possessed the ability to kill these people with his bare hands.
Fortunately, these people hadn't noticed.
The man whipped him twice more, then pointed to a table of torture instruments, and patted Wen Wen's shoulder, saying, "This is just an appetizer. Later, you'll go through all of this."
"A boss is offering fifty thousand yuan to torture you to death, and not just any torture. The more miserable you are, the happier the boss will be."
"We are all respectable people normally, but who would pass up money? Don't come looking for me after you die; go find that boss. In your next life, don't offend people you shouldn't."
Wen Wen's expression of terror finally broke, replaced by a charming smile.
The boss who paid to torture him was himself!
