Chapter 133 Self-rescue



Chapter 133 Self-rescue

The sunset in Tokyo always has a special beauty.

Natalie woke up from her coma and when she turned her head, she saw the golden waves on the distant river bank and the soft afterglow of the sunset halfway up the mountain.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and all she saw was unfamiliar scenery. Her somewhat slow brain finally began to work again. She suddenly became alert and began to look around carefully.

She still remembered that she was clearly discussing her child's clothes with her husband at the Rice Flower Mall, but how did she end up here in the blink of an eye?

A dilapidated, abandoned floor, messy piles of plastic bottles, ceilings covered with cobwebs...

If the fetus in her belly hadn't kicked her gently, Natalie would have thought she was dead.

"I have done what you said. When will you release my brother?"

A rough male voice came from behind the opposite concrete wall.

Natalie pricked up her ears, her heart pounding, as she listened to the man's words and searched for any useful tools nearby.

Her hands were tied to a chair and she had to...

"What? That's not what we said then!"

Natalie carefully moved her chair towards the exposed iron sheet next to her.

"Fuck, she's pregnant! She might give birth at any moment, and you still want me to wait?!"

The words from the other side were very rude, and Natalie was frightened by them. At the same time, she also realized the situation she was in. She took a deep breath and continued to move to the side with the rope and chair on her body.

"No, I have to see my brother tonight! Otherwise I will expose everything!"

The originally calm voice grew increasingly agitated, and then, seemingly after hearing something else, the man's rationality became increasingly out of control. "I don't care. The person is already in my hands. Why would I be afraid of you? You just want to use me anyway."

"Come to think of it, this Officer Ida really knows how to enjoy himself? He actually married a foreign girl? Just think about it, if I kill her right here—"

Natalie didn't dare to listen to what the man said, as if she was listening to her impending fate. She finally moved to the iron plate beside her, then began to tiptoe and reach the iron plate with the back of her hand.

Because the rope was wrapped around her body and a large part of it was concentrated on her abdomen, Natalie could clearly feel the tightness on her abdomen when she moved.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

Natalie knew that if she couldn't save herself, both she and the fetus in her womb would die miserably!

The rope finally got stuck on the iron sheet, and Natalie felt the pulling of the rope. She inhaled and tightened her abdomen, then swayed her body left and right to put the main pressure of the rope on both sides of her arms, and then rubbed the rope.

The man who was separated from her by a wall was still talking to the other side.

Natalie listened roughly and it seemed that her husband Yi Dahang had captured the man's younger brother, and then a big shot who disliked Yi Dahang made a deal with the man, saying that as long as he tied her up, the other party would release the man's younger brother.

Natalie found it amusing.

Not to mention how powerful the other party is, if a criminal has already been convicted and is in prison, it is basically difficult for him to get out through the above route and he must go through the court route.

Unless the people over there let the man's brother escape from prison on his own.

All of these involve great risks. Judging from the tone of the person on the other end, this man was most likely cheated.

But Natalie didn't dare to say her guess.

Because her existence is to exchange for a man's brother, but if she is no longer valuable, then she is really dead.

Fortunately, the man on the other end of the phone had focused all his attention on the call and didn't take Natalie, the pregnant woman, seriously at all. He was still arguing with the person on the phone.

Finally, Natalie's ropes frayed.

The feeling of being squeezed in her abdomen finally disappeared. Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, carefully removed the rope from her body, rubbed her belly soothingly, and quietly stood up.

Because of her pregnancy, Natalie's feet were always swollen and allergic. Later, Idahang bought Natalie soft cloth shoes.

The cloth shoes were soft and light, and even though Natalie's movements were a bit clumsy, the sound of her feet stepping on the ground was very small and did not attract the man's attention at all.

Natalie moved all the way to the stairs and looked down, and couldn't help but gasp.

They are now on the tenth floor or so.

Natalie didn't know how the man brought her up, but she knew that if she went down at this time, she would definitely not be able to outrun the man.

So we can only find a way to pass the message to the outside world——

Natalie looked around and finally walked to the garbage ruins on the other side, pulled out a few sheets, and threw them out of the window, hanging in the window and fluttering.

Judging from the scenery she saw when she woke up, she should be in a ruined building near the suburbs. Even if she took the opportunity to escape, she would have almost no means of transportation. Now all she could pray for was that the police would find her whereabouts in time...

Natalie threw several worn sheets down in one breath, and then she heard the man next door roaring: "Damn it! Where did that damn bitch go?"

Natalie's breathing quickened as she quietly moved behind the wall.

However, her footsteps were very obvious, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the man had tracked her location based on the footprints.

The man's face was a little haggard, with his cheeks particularly sunken. He looked at Natalie as if he were looking at a corpse. He reached out and pulled Natalie's wrist: "Damn, she's worthy of being a police officer's wife. She's really powerful. Come here--"

Natalie squatted down, trying her best to protect her belly, and then said anxiously: "I, I can let them release your brother! As long as you can contact my husband."

The man just twitched his lips, his expression becoming even more ferocious. He raised his hand and slapped him: "Damn it, they wanted to trick me, and you want to trick me too? Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

Natalie had learned some self-defense skills from Ida Hang. She raised her arm to block the man's slap, and the slap did not hit her face, but her arm was still burning with pain.

"They just want to use you, but we're different." Natalie continued to rack her brains to deal with the man. "I'm in your hands. My husband will definitely do his best to release me. As long as you...as long as you contact him!"

But the man didn't want to listen to Natalie at all.

In other words, during those years on the battlefields in the Middle East and Europe, he had come to view women and children as objects rather than people with whom he could talk as equals.

The man dragged Natalie back and said, "You're such a big fuss, shut up!"

"Help me—"

Natalie was really frightened by the man this time. She finally couldn't hold back her tears and struggled hard.

"Ding--"

Suddenly, the man paused and covered Natalie's mouth tightly.

"Shh, shut up—"

-

On the other side, downstairs, Baichuan Qiu squatted down and put the stretched fishing line back to its original position.

The bell that originally made the sound slowly stopped shaking.

The system was very nervous: "Host, why did you deliberately trigger the trap he set?"
