As Su Nan's friends pointed out Dabao's location, she made her way over to where he was sitting. Her heart twinged with sympathy as she observed him from a distance, his demeanor gentle and unassuming despite the shadows of pain that lingered in his eyes. She couldn't fathom how anyone could bully someone as innocent and kind-hearted as Dabao.
Su Nan: "He seems so sweet... How could anyone bully him?"
Her friends exchanged knowing glances, a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Friend 1: "You're the first one who's ever said something different about him, Su."
Friend 2 teased playfully: "Looks like our princess has found herself a knight in shining armor."
Before Su Nan could respond, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of a group of menacing figures. Su's blood ran cold as she watched in horror as they surrounded Dabao and forcibly dragged him away, his cries for help echoing in the air.
Su Nan's heart raced with panic as she rushed to Xubao and Hanyu, her voice trembling with fear.
Su Nan: "Xubao, Hanyu, something terrible has happened! They... they've taken Dabao!"
Xubao's eyes widened in alarm as she took in Su Nan's distressed expression, her own heart pounding with dread.
Xubao: "What? Who took him? Where did they go?"
Su Nan struggled to compose herself, her mind reeling with shock.
Su Nan: "I don't know, they just... they came out of nowhere and took him! We need to do something!"
Xubao swiftly dialed her father Zhong's number, her hands trembling with urgency as she relayed the distressing news.
Xubao: "Dad, it's Xubao. Something terrible has happened. Dabao's been kidnapped!"
On the other end of the line, Zhong's voice was filled with alarm as he listened to his daughter's frantic words.
Zhong: "What? Are you sure, Xubao? Where are you now?"
Xubao quickly provided her location and a brief description of what had transpired, her heart racing with fear for her brother's safety.
Meanwhile, Hanyu was on the phone with his own father, Leng, his voice tight with tension as he explained the situation.
Hanyu: "Dad, it's Hanyu. Dabao's been taken by some unknown assailants. We need your help!"
Leng's response was immediate, his tone grave with concern.
Leng: "I'm on my way, Hanyu. Stay calm and keep me updated on any developments."
With their fathers alerted and on their way, Xubao and Hanyu turned their attention back to Su Nan, their expressions grim with determination.
Xubao: "We'll find him, Su Nan. We won't rest until Dabao is safe."
Su Nan nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude and determination.
Su Nan: "Thank you, Xubao, Hanyu. Let's bring him home."
In a dimly lit and secluded hideout in Zhoushan, Dabao lay bound and helpless, his body wracked with pain from the relentless torture inflicted upon him by his parents' old enemies. Each blow, each taunt, sent waves of agony coursing through his battered frame, his cries for mercy falling on deaf ears.
As he struggled to endure the torment, a figure emerged from the shadows, his presence ominous and foreboding. It was Zhan, a man whose eyes burned with resentment and anger.
Zhan: "Because of your family, we lost everything. Our Mafia network was dismantled, our power stripped away. And now, you will pay the price for their sins."
Dabao's heart sank as he realized the depths of the vendetta against him. He had never imagined that his family's past would come back to haunt him in such a cruel and brutal manner.
Dabao: "Please... I-I didn't do anything..."
But his pleas fell on deaf ears as the torture continued unabated, each moment stretching into an eternity of agony.
As Dabao's tormentors paused for a moment, one of them stepped away to make a call to their boss, seeking further instructions.
Torturer: "Boss, what should we do now? The kid won't break."
The voice on the other end crackled with cold determination.
Boss: "Burn that whole place to the ground, and make sure that little brat suffers for every ounce of pain he's caused us."
The chilling command sent shivers down Dabao's spine as he realized the true extent of the danger he was in. With despair clawing at his heart, he braced himself for the horrors that lay ahead, hoping against hope for a miracle to save him from the darkness closing in around him.
As the flames engulfed the hideout, Dabao remained unconscious, his body limp and vulnerable, tied to the chair amidst the chaos of the burning inferno. The crackling of flames echoed ominously in the air, each flicker of light casting eerie shadows on the walls as the heat intensified, threatening to consume everything in its path.
