"No! Please, let me go… Please!" Lanying kept pleading with the men who kidnapped her as they carried her outside the private home.
With one man already touching her legs, she demanded as her tears continued to flow down her cheeks, "Stop it! Stop! Please."
There were five of them in total, including the driver. When those who dealt with Anges and Clifford's party returned to the van, it alarmed them to see the driver was already lifeless.
"What's going on? Why is he dead?"
They checked the driver and saw he had no wounds, but the marks on his neck suggested he was strangled to death.
The man that was holding Lanying put an arm around her neck, shielding himself from any attack. They knew it was impossible for Clifford's men to have done the killing as they were all inside the garage.
