Meteorite Jade Scandal

Chapter 102 - Valley Of Death



"Hahaha, this one is called Zhang Sifeng. Always rude when talking to girls. And even more crazy, I'm more attracted to Sifeng Gege's rude character like this." Nana answered with a laugh.

"You're crazy, Nana-chan!" I hissed, annoyed. I didn't know Nana was so happy to mock or praise me earlier.

"Even though I'm crazy, Sifeng Gege likes it, right? Ah well! I'm busy."

Nana seemed really busy from her hurried tone of voice.

"Hey, wait, Nana-chan! Don't you want to give me something?" I purposely gave him a hard code.

"Beep ... beep ...."

Oh shit! Nana hung up the phone. She never changed. Very insensitive girl.

After calling Nana, I finally put my phone back in my pants pocket. However, a moment later a call came in.

When I looked at the screen of my smartphone, it was Lian Jiejie's name on it.

How come Lian Jiejie called me?

I swiped the smartphone screen and said, "Yeah, what's wrong, Jiejie?"

"A-Feng, I don't know who else to turn to for help. I'm so panicked, A-Feng."

Lian Jiejie's voice sounded so panicked. The normally calm Lian Jiejie, I didn't expect her to be so panicked like this. There must be something that is worrying Lian Jiejie.

"Calm down, Jiejie! Tell me later! I'll be in Beijing in a few hours!"

I ended the call and booked a flight to Beijing, which was the fastest.

Before leaving, I met with Manager Huo first to temporarily handle all the affairs at the branch company and at this Robot Park.

Maybe many are asking about why Manager Huo can suddenly help me? In fact, he is Papa's confidant who is usually always with Papa.

It's all because Papa asked Manager Huo to help me complete this robot garden project. I was greatly helped by the help of Manager Huo.

Ghosts, spirits, the supernatural, the topic of storytelling in China for centuries. A common superstition is that places associated with the death of people attract yin energy and restless souls. I beautify it.

There are several locations in China, famous for ghost sightings, and unexplained occurrences, and some have even become popular with ghost-seeking tourists.

However, I didn't expect to have to visit one of those creepy places.

I'm heading to Narin Gol Valley at the moment.

This area in the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai province is also nicknamed the "Valley of Death" and "Gate of Hell." It is one of the most famous uninhabited areas in China, and it is rumored that few people or animals ever return there.

Unlucky! I found this out while reading an article. Even in a nightmare I don't want to come to this valley of death. But, today I had to come to this supposedly scary place.

According to people's stories, this area is often hit by lightning strikes, and animal carcasses are often found after storms.

It is said that in 1983, a herdsman entered the valley to retrieve some of the horses that roamed inside, but was later found dead with his face burned and his clothes and shoes missing, but there were no signs of assault or injuries on his body .

Hopefully I will be able to get out of the valley of Death.

I drove the car very fast towards the location Lian Jiejie pointed out.

The person who kidnapped Madam Wang did not reveal their exact location. Lian Jiejie said that the kidnappers only spoke around Narin Gol Valley.

An area in the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai province.

Very far!

It took me more than 13 hours to get there by car, or even more considering the heavy rain this afternoon.

I really don't understand what kind of enemy can defeat Madam Wang's cunning. I almost couldn't believe it when Lian Jiejie told me that mom was being held captive on top of an abandoned old building.

It was getting dark, I walked along the wet road carefully. The cliff on the left, the cliff on the right made me think twice if I wanted to speed up.

Moreover, the road is also potholes and watery due to the rain. This street is really quiet, not even paved. You know this, I should have just used the motorbike earlier.

I tried to contact Yushen Gege, but couldn't. Gege doesn't usually ignore my calls. Ask the police for help? Impossible!

They threatened to kill Madam Wang if we involved the police. I have to believe in my abilities. Don't they just want money? I've brought a lot of money. And will soon exchange it for my mother's life.

Ckiitttt!

My car suddenly stopped. When I checked it, it turned out that my car tire was punctured.

Unlucky! It may also be because of the cobblestoned roads that have never been accessed by other vehicles. There is no time to change car tires. I only have time before nine o'clock. It's half past eight.

I got out of the car, took the suitcase full of money with me. The road is still watery. Heavy rain, plus strange sounds from the forest made the atmosphere even more tense.

I ran in the pouring rain. Every now and then, I fall because the road is slippery, but I will keep getting up.

I keep looking for the location via GPS.

"Aash, why does it have to be a place like this? Why don't they just lock up mother in the Beijing area, try?!"

I hate this situation. Usually, there would be Yushen who would calm me down if I was feeling scared. From a distance, I saw a speck of light. Yes, that must be the place.

I ran faster, through the bushes. Past the large roots sticking out to the surface. It's true, this road has never been passed by any vehicle like it. Then, how did the kidnapper bring mother here?

I've arrived in front of this old building. This building is like a former office building that has been abandoned for decades. Somehow there could be a building like this in the middle of the valley?

My breath hitched. I started to feel cold to the bone. The rain hasn't stopped either.

Slowly, I entered this building. It was very quiet, but from outside I could see a speck of light from the top room. I climbed the stairs very carefully, hoping they wouldn't notice I was coming.

I heard a commotion, I immediately hid behind a pile of empty cardboard. Well, I can hear mom screaming.

"Let go of me, Wei Yilong! You're in vain keeping me captive! I have no one to help. It's useless for you to do this, you bastard!" Madam Wang shouted, looking very angry at the man surnamed Wei. I've never seen my mother as mad as she is today.

"Hahaha, don't you have Zhang Minghao's two stepsons, um? I'm sure they'll come soon." The man spoke. I don't know the relationship between the two.

"No way! I've tried to kill them so many times! There's no way they care about me!" Madam Wang spoke.

I muttered, "You're wrong, Mom! I'll always care about you."

DEG!!

My chest suddenly ached as usual. Lately, the pain often comes suddenly, since I never drink the bitter potion that Nana made.

"Not the time to look weak right now, Sifeng!" I advise myself to be strong. I nearly lost my balance until I bumped into a pile of cardboard behind.

THUD!

The sound of cardboard dropping suddenly made the four men and Madam Wang turn to look at me.

Unlucky! I got caught. Casually, I walked out of hiding. Every now and then, I bite my lower lip to hold back the pain that continues to pierce my chest.

I saw Madam Wang, my mom, being tied to a chair, as most kidnappers do to their captives.

"A-Feng, what are you doing here, huh?!" Mama shouted, so surprised to know I was there.

I casually walked out of the hiding place. Every now and then, I would bite my lower lip to hold back the pain that continued to pierce my chest.

I could see Mama Wang being tied to a chair, as most kidnappers do to their captives.

"A-Feng, what are you doing here, huh?!" Mama shouted, so surprised to know I was there.

My eyes fell on the four men. Apparently, two Chinese citizens, and two Japanese citizens. Their looks are too cool for an amateur kidnapper class.

Wear branded and authoritative clothing. There's no way they just want money. But maybe, I don't know.

I showed the kidnappers a suitcase containing hundreds of millions of yuan.

"You want this money, don't you? Now, take this money and let my mother go!" I spoke, emphatically.

"A-Feng, go! That's not what they really want! Go I say, A-Feng!" Mom screamed at me. But, I still don't understand the sentence. If they don't want money, then what do they want?

I looked sadly at my mother and said, "I'm not leaving without you, Mama!"

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

I heart the sound of clapping repeatedly.
