ATBWSTBP Chapter 22
by VolareThe six returned to the Piggy Village inn, had a simple meal, and gathered together.
Jin Mo played the recording of his conversation with Xiaoyun.
A dozen minutes later, the recording ended.
“So it seems, Jin Baiyan really did leave by water!”
Xiao Feiwu said, picking up a pen and writing a “5,” then writing a “bean” (bean).
“No wonder you were looking for the beads!” Xu Jiahao’s focus was on the beads; he looked at Jin Mo with a grin.
Jin Mo raised an eyebrow.
“Hey, the beads aren’t the point. The point is, what’s the next step? Are we going to look for this cargo ship?” Xiao Feiwu pointed to the two characters on the paper, frowning.
Xu Jiahao rolled his eyes at him, silently criticizing this boor who didn’t understand romance.
Jin Mo leaned back, resting his head on the back of the chair, and said in a chilling tone, “The cargo ship isn’t urgent. Let’s get this Liu Cai out first! He dared to hurt my brother and break the bracelet I gave him. I won’t let him off!”
The others all looked at him in unison, their bodies shuddering.
Except for Xu Jiahao, who knew his true nature!
Xiao Feiwu seemed unable to believe that the harmless Jin Mo would say such a thing.
“Wait, didn’t you hear Xiaoyun say that your brother beat him up pretty badly? Is it really necessary to add another beating?”
Jin Mo didn’t bother to pretend anymore, snorting through his nostrils, “That was my brother who beat him, not me! Is that the same?”
“Besides, apart from beating him, I also want to see if he has any clearer information!”
“He was there when my brother answered the phone, maybe he heard some important information!”
“And, from his perspective, he could see the ship’s information more clearly!”
Jin Mo tilted his head back, spitting out sentence after sentence.
“You’re right, why didn’t I think of that?” Xiao Feiwu scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, “Okay, we’ll take action tonight, and be sure to kidnap this Liu Cai!”
After a bit of planning, they decided to strike in the middle of the night!
Taking advantage of the early hour, everyone went back to get some sleep to ensure they would be in high spirits to work in the middle of the night.
At two o’clock in the morning, two cars quietly stopped at the entrance of Zhaojiaping village.
Xiao Feiwu and Jin Mo, the two with martial arts skills, were the main force for today’s work.
Xu Jiahao was experienced in these sneaky things, so he took the lead in scouting the situation.
Xiao Ping brought up the rear, as well as keeping watch!
The other two stayed by the cars.
The night was thick, and the entire village was still asleep! Every now and then, a few barks from dogs could be heard!
Xu Jiahao was small and nimble, like a cat, darting straight ahead, occasionally giving the two behind him a gesture to move forward.
Liu Cai’s house was easy to find! His was the only dilapidated house in the whole village! Huddled in the middle of the village.
By the moonlight, Xiao Feiwu pried open the door of the dilapidated house, with Jin Mo following closely behind.
It was very dark inside the house. The two squatted at the door for a while before they could barely make out the situation inside.
There was a room on the left and right. After listening carefully for a while, they groped towards the room on the right.
The room door was not locked. The sound of snoring could be heard from inside. The two exchanged glances.
Xiao Feiwu quickly pushed open the door and strode to the bedside.
Liu Cai on the bed was awakened, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by Liu Feiwu with a chop to the neck.
A dozen minutes later, the two cars returned along the same route.
Early the next morning, Liu Cai woke up from his dizziness, and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked.
His hands and feet were tied, and tape was stuck over his mouth. He was thrown into the trunk of a car!
Liu Cai’s mind went blank. He had been kidnapped!
He struggled desperately, making “wuwuwu” sounds.
“Stop shouting, or I’ll kill you!” Xiao Feiwu opened the car door, got in, and folded down the rear seat.
Liu Cai turned his head and immediately shut up.
He recognized the person in front of him! It was the person who had been offering a reward at the entrance of their village these past two days!
He immediately understood that his actions had been discovered by them!
“Awake?” Jin Mo finished breakfast and walked over.
“Awake!” Xiao Feiwu sat in the passenger seat, leaving the space for Jin Mo to perform.
Jin Mo sat in front of Liu Cai and kicked him in the stomach.
Liu Cai was kicked directly against the trunk door, letting out a scream.
“If I hadn’t seen that you were indeed badly beaten by my brother, I definitely wouldn’t spare you!” Jin Mo said through gritted teeth.
Yesterday, he indeed had the idea of giving him another severe beating, but after actually seeing the person, he gave up the idea.
The Liu Cai in front of him was only in his early twenties, his face was beaten by Jin Baiyan like a pig’s head, and he was simply unwatchable!
The skin exposed outside his clothes was also bruised, not to mention other places.
When Liu Cai heard Jin Mo’s words, tears streamed down his face.
“I’ll ask you questions later. Be honest, or else…”
Jin Mo swung his arm at Liu Cai.
Liu Cai nodded wildly. As long as he wasn’t beaten, anything was easy to say!
Jin Mo tore off the tape stuck on Liu Cai’s mouth.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” He tore it off too violently, and Liu Cai couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
“Tell me what happened that day, from beginning to end, carefully!”
As Jin Mo spoke, he picked up his phone and opened the recording function.
Liu Cai straightened his body and leaned back, trying to stay away from Jin Mo.
“That… that day, I didn’t eat all day. I was starving, so I wanted to go to the river to see if I could catch a fish or a few shrimp, but I didn’t get anything!”
“Later, I… I saw your brother!”
“Your brother was dressed well. He looked like a rich man!”
“I… I wanted to…”
As Liu Cai spoke, he looked at Jin Mo’s expression, as if afraid that he would suddenly beat him.
“Speak quickly!” Jin Mo shouted.
Liu Cai was startled.
“Okay, okay, I’ll talk!”
“When I saw him, he was alone, and he was a foreigner, so I wanted to get some money from him!”
“At first, I was scared, but when I thought of my grandmother lying in bed waiting for food, I couldn’t care so much!”
“I told him to give me the money! He ignored me!”
“At that time, my mind went blank, and I wanted to grab him, but I broke his bracelet and punched him!”
“Then… then I had no chance to fight back!”
“Wuwuwu, I was almost beaten to death by him!”
“I lay at home for two days and couldn’t get out of bed!”
“Later, when I saw you coming, I knew that I might have offended some big shots! These past two days, I have been hiding at home!”
“As a result, you still found me!”
“Wuwuwu, I’m sorry, I won’t dare to provoke you again next time!”
Liu Cai cried as he spoke.
Jin Mo’s brows were almost knotted together. This was the bully and villain Xiaoyun mentioned?
A guy who was tough at home!
“How old are you?” Jin Mo couldn’t help but ask.
Liu Cai’s crying stopped, and he looked at Jin Mo in disbelief, moving his mouth, “T… twenty!”
“You’re only this young and you’re already running rampant in the village?”
Liu Cai opened his mouth and whispered, “Actually, I’m not that rampant! The uncles all know my family’s situation. I just go to their houses to ask for something to eat when I’m hungry! I… I haven’t done anything too bad!”
Jin Mo snorted through his nostrils, “That bracelet was a gift I gave my brother. You broke it, and I still haven’t found all the beads. There’s still one missing. If I can’t find it, I…”
“Wait!” Liu Cai interrupted Jin Mo, “I still have one here!”
Jin Mo’s body stiffened, his expression changed drastically, and his tone was a little excited.
“You still have one? How could it be with you?”
Liu Cai moved his body, “When the bracelet broke, a bead fell into my pocket!”
Jin Mo was extremely excited and grabbed Liu Cai’s collar, “Where is it?”
“In… on the table in my room!”
“Let’s go, let’s go get it from your house!” Jin Mo released Liu Cai, “Feiwu, drive!”
Liu Cai looked at Jin Mo, his mouth moved, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.
