Hu Lei was dragged out of the vehicle about two hours later. The two men held her by the arms and allowed her feet to trail along the hard ground. With her head lowered, Hu Lei was finally able to open her eyes.
She could tell that she was near the ocean even without seeing it.
The smell of seawater, the crashing waves as the tides rose and the cold, humid air washing over her arms…
She could not see much from her lowered head except for a rough concrete surface. However, judging from the ambient noise like the loud horns, she had been taken to some kind of harbour or dock.
For a moment, she thought about breaking free from the men holding her. Judging from the footsteps and the earlier incident, she could tell that there were two more people behind her.
If she broke the heel off her shoes, she would be able to stand more stably and take them out.
However, she dismissed the idea after mulling over it for a while.
