Chapter 287: Chen Xiner was captured

Chen Xiner's eyes revealed a firm belief. She told herself not to give up. She believed Lin Feng would find her, and they would overcome this difficult time. She began to carefully observe her surroundings, searching for anything useful. However, she found nothing except some hay and worn-out tools. Those worn-out tools, some rusted, some incomplete, looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

As time ticked by, Chen Xiner grew increasingly anxious. She wondered where Lin Feng and Chen Yu were, whether they were searching for her. She desperately wished she could hear their voices, see them. But the woodshed was completely silent, save for the sound of her own breathing and the occasional scurrying of mice. The silence felt like a heavy pressure, suffocating her.

Lin Feng, on the surface of the river, had completely calmed down. His eyes revealed a firm determination. He knew he had to find Chen Xiner as soon as possible. He swam to the shore, where Chen Yu was anxiously waiting for him.

"Lin Feng, are you okay?" Chen Yu saw Lin Feng swimming over and quickly stepped forward to pull him ashore. Chen Yu's face was full of worry, and his eyes revealed his concern for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I think I know where Xin'er is." His voice was low and powerful, as if swearing his determination.

Chen Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where?" His tone was full of anticipation, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

Lin Feng said: "It is very likely that Xin'er was kidnapped by people from the gambling house. We must go to the gambling house as soon as possible." There was a determination in his eyes, as if he was ready to face all difficulties.

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." His voice was full of determination. He knew they couldn't waste any more time.

The two of them quickly walked towards the gambling house. Along the way, Lin Feng's heart was filled with worry and anxiety. He didn't know if Chen Xiner was safe now, nor did he know if they could find her successfully. However, he knew he couldn't give up. No matter what the cost, he had to find Chen Xiner.

Chen Xin'er lay on the haystack, her heart filled with fear and anxiety. Her hands and feet were bound tightly with thick ropes, unable to move. The effects of the drug were still raging through her body, leaving her unable to exert any energy. She stared at the dilapidated door of the woodshed, as if hoping for a miracle.

Suddenly, the door slowly opened, emitting a dull thud. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent space, causing Chen Xiner's heart to suddenly clench. As the door opened, a dim light streamed into the woodshed, illuminating a small area.

A fat man appeared at the door. His figure was as heavy as a mountain, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling. Behind him were several younger brothers, each of them with a hideous face and eyes that revealed cruelty and greed.

Chen Xiner looked at the obese man and immediately recognized him: Dou Zhenghuai, the gambling house owner. Dou Zhenghuai's face was covered in fat, appearing even greasy in the dim light. His eyes were narrowed into slits, and a strange smile played at the corner of his mouth.

Dou Zhenghuai walked in with a smile on his face, saying, "I didn't expect that we would meet so soon." His voice was low and hoarse, like a demon from hell.

Chen Xiner was filled with a surge of anger and fear. She whimpered, trying to make a sound, but her mouth was gagged, so she could only utter a faint whimper. Her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, like a deer caught in a trap.

Dou Zhenghuai looked at Chen Xiner with a sense of pride. He signaled his men to take the cloth away. They immediately stepped forward and roughly pulled the cloth out of Chen Xiner's mouth.

At this time, Chen Xiner was finally able to make a sound. She said angrily, "What are you going to do?" Her voice trembled, full of fear and anxiety.

Dou Zhenghuai said with a wicked smile: "Don't be afraid, this is my home. I just want to exchange you for some money." His eyes revealed greed and cunning, which made people shudder.

Chen Xiner said: "Lin Feng will definitely come back and kill you all." Her eyes were full of determination and confidence, as if she had immense trust in Lin Feng.

Dou Zhenghuai said with a wicked smile, "Don't worry, he won't know." His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Chen Xiner was also a little scared at this time, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Did you arrange that beggar?" There was a hint of confusion and anger in her eyes.

Dou Zhenghuai asked doubtfully: "Beggar? What beggar?" There was a trace of confusion on his face, as if he knew nothing about the beggar Chen Xiner was talking about.

A younger brother said, "Boss Dou, a beggar lured the other two here, which gave us the opportunity to take action." His voice was full of flattery and fawning.

Dou Zhenghuai said, "Did you arrange that beggar?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

The younger brother continued, "No, no, no, that beggar was an accident." His voice was full of nervousness and uneasiness, fearing that Dou Zhenghuai would blame him.

After a few words, Dou Zhenghuai finally understood that the beggar was just an accident. At this time, Chen Xiner also understood that if that was the case, it would be very difficult for Lin Feng to find this place.

Chen Xiner asked, "If you do this, my father will not give you money." Her eyes revealed a hint of determination and confidence, as if she had immense trust in her father.

At this time, Dou Zhenghuai said: "If he doesn't give me money, I will sell you to a brothel. With your looks, I can still get the money." His eyes revealed greed and evil, which made people shudder.

Dou Zhenghuai looked at Chen Xiner with greed in his eyes. His eyes wandered over Chen Xiner's body as if he was admiring a precious treasure.

One of the younger brothers said greedily, "Boss, why don't you let us play with it first?" His voice was full of evil and desire, which made people sick.

Dou Zhenghuai said, "I haven't even enjoyed it yet, how can it be your turn?" His voice was full of anger and majesty, making people dare not disobey.

The younger brother said fearfully, "I'm sorry, boss. I know I was wrong." His voice was full of fear and anxiety, as he was afraid that Dou Zhenghuai would punish him.

Dou Zhenghuai ignored him and came to Chen Xiner. His eyes revealed evil and desire, which made people shudder.
