Mu Bai's words sounded an alarm in Wei Yumeng's heart. She didn't know where she would be taken, but seeing only foreigners outside, she knew she was no longer within the country's borders.
Outside of the Zhan family's control, it would be more difficult for Zhan Mohan to find them.
She subconsciously tried to check if her phone was still there. As long as her phone was with her, no matter where she was, Zhan Mohan could find her.
Mu Bai noticed her movement and exposed her directly, "Are you looking for your phone with the GPS function? No need to look, I already threw it away for you."
"You!"
Wei Yumeng was momentarily choked with anger, but facing Mu Bai, she was helpless. She knew that given the current situation, if she didn't behave, she would only face a beating, which wouldn't solve anything.
Rather than struggling fruitlessly, it was more practical to shut her mouth and think of a solution.
Seeing her about to speak, Mu Bai chuckled, "Mrs. Zhan is indeed a smart woman, knowing that struggling aimlessly is useless, so you've changed tactics?"
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and turned away from his detestable face. Even so, she could still hear him speak.
"You don't need to worry. I believe Zhan Mohan will find you. But what you'll look like when he finds you, and what will happen, that I cannot say."
Even though Wei Yumeng's internal alarm bells were ringing, she was now like a fish on a chopping block, and she was the knife. Remaining silent was the wisest choice.
Mu Bai drove them through the city and out to the suburbs. The car was stopped at the foot of a mountain, and several bodyguard-like men in black checked the people in the car. It was then that Wei Yumeng clearly saw that none of them were Chinese.
Mu Bai was not stingy with his explanations, "This is a Chinese district, and everyone understands your language. So, I advise you not to curse later, and you might suffer less."
She kept her face dark and didn't reply, but she took Mu Bai's reminder to heart. Indeed, cursing at this moment would solve nothing and might even bring her disaster. Sometimes, one had to swallow their pride.
She looked at Mu Linjing. She could endure it, but she wondered if Lin Jing could refrain from cursing. After all, her parents were in the car behind. Mu Bai brought them along simply because he knew Lin Jing had a fiery temper and feared she might resist to the death, so he used her parents as leverage.
However, her uncle and aunt were already middle-aged. How could they withstand such threats and hardship? She feared that even if they were rescued after this ordeal, their health would never be the same as before.
After the search, the bodyguards let them pass, and their car continued up the mountain.
From afar, she saw what looked like a villa halfway up the mountain. There were guards at every few steps, and sentries at intervals. It seemed that the person living there must be very cautious. She even suspected it might be some high-ranking official, otherwise, why all this security?
Someone so cautious must be very afraid of being harmed, but on the other hand, with such tight security, even if Zhan Mohan found the place, getting in would be difficult.
She stared longingly out the car window, trying to memorize the terrain. Even though it looked like not even a fly could get in or out, she still wanted to escape if there was a chance. Knowing the terrain in advance would prevent her from flying around like a headless fly, wasting precious escape time.
After their car passed all the checks, they arrived at the half-mountain villa. The sign at the entrance clearly stated the name of the place: Ji Gongguan.
The owner of this place was surnamed Ji?
The only person Wei Yumeng could think of was Ji Tong. And Feng Shiqing had been sent here before, where she met Ji Tong and then returned to the country. This meant that Ji Gongguan most likely belonged to Ji Tong.
They had always known that Ji Tong's background was unusual and that he likely held a significant position here. It now appeared to be true.
What she hadn't expected was that Mu Bai had colluded with Ji Tong. Wei Yumeng was well aware of the grudges between Ji Tong and Zhan Mohan. Falling into Ji Tong's hands now would surely mean no good days ahead.
But she had no way to escape and could only pray that Zhan Mohan would find her quickly.
In fact, a confrontation with Ji Tong was inevitable. Ever since Ji Tong returned for revenge, they had been in a reactive position in many situations. This couldn't go on. If they could take this opportunity to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, it would also save them future trouble.
However, it was too early to say all this. What they had to face was the impending hardship.
When Mu Bai helped her out of the car, Mu Linjing was still unconscious. Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu were also brought down from the car behind. Seeing their daughter still unconscious, Aunt Mu, despite being held back by others, desperately tried to rush forward to check on her daughter.
Mu Bai waved his hand and reprimanded his subordinates, "How can you stop Auntie from seeing her daughter? How disgraceful."
Then, he put on a smiling face and said to Aunt Mu, "Auntie, don't worry. Linjing is just sleeping. I'll take you to rest now."
Aunt Mu saw through his pretense and forcefully swung her arm, dodging the hand he tried to place on her.
Mu Bai was not annoyed. After all, the people were already in his hands. No matter how much they protested, they couldn't escape.
He then took Mu Linjing's family away, ignoring Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng was led to the main hall. Just as she had guessed, Ji Tong and Feng Shiqing were waiting for her there. Now that she was a prisoner, she would naturally not be spared Feng Shiqing's ridicule.
Seeing her enter, Ji Tong smiled without a real smile, "Mrs. Zhan, long time no see. Why do you look so dishevelled? Please, sit down. If Zhan Mohan knew I was mistreating his wife, and he got angry and smashed my Ji Gongguan, it would be a huge loss for me."
Wei Yumeng rolled her eyes at him, "Do we need to be so pretentious when we talk? I know very well why you brought me here. You don't need to say those words to fool fools, and I don't want to hear them."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tong showed an expression of admiration, "Mrs. Zhan's fortitude is indeed extraordinary, and her mouth is quite sharp. However, this temper needs to be tempered, lest she be spoiled by the man named Zhan and become lawless in the future."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Shiqing beside him, "Zhan Mohan sent you here to temper your temper back then. Now the tables have turned, and Mrs. Zhan is also visiting us. You must entertain her well."
Feng Shiqing now had the backing of a powerful figure, with Ji Tong supporting her, she feared nothing. She walked forward and delivered a resounding slap to Wei Yumeng.
Coincidentally, it was the same side that Mu Bai had hit earlier. Wei Yumeng's face quickly began to swell.
