Chapter 4. TIED UP.

"Ding..."

The doorbell suddenly rang,and Cate had to temporarily interrupt the call and get up to open the door.

"Hello,who is that?''

"Per Mr.Jael's instructions, I'm here to clean the room and deliver things to you. "

The man's voice outside the door was low and heavy. Cate looked out through the peephole and saw a man with a baseball cap and a large box on his shoulder.

"Just wait a moment, I'll make a call to confirm. "

She took her phone and dialed a number from memory. It only rang once before it was answered.

"Hello,?"Jael Sweeny voice came through. "Cate?"

He even guessed it was her.

A complex emotion flashed through Cate's eyes,but her tone did not reveal anything. "You've sent someone to deliver things to me?"

Jael Sweeny responded lightly, "Yes,some daily necessities. "

This was indeed something Jael Sweeny would do. He was always meticulous in his work and must have thought that she had returned and not had a chance to buy things yet.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

He hunged up the phone crisply. Cate opened the door. "You can leave the things here. I'll take care of it myself. "

Standing outside the door was a muscular man,the baseball cap covering most of hos face.His arms were covered with tattoos. When he heard her,he raised his head. Under the cap,there was a scar that crossed half of his face!

Cate was shocked, not only because of the scar,but also because of the extremely familiar face!

"Miss Cate, long time no see."

Scar opened his mouth, grinned wickedly,and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Cate almost immediately went to closs the door,but Scar blocked the doorway with one foot and grabbed her shoulder with the other hand,pressing a cloth soaked with ether onto her face!

"Uh-!"

Cate let out a short cry,and then her whole body seemed to lose all strength and collapsed to the floor.

When she woke up again,Cate was already in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

The after-effects of ether made her headaches, and her vision was blurred for a while before she could see the environment around her clearly.

Her hands and feets were tied up,and a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth,so she could only make incomprehensible sounds.

And Scar sat on a nearby chair, playing with a shiny dagger. When he saw her wake up,he walked over and pulled the cloth out of her mouth.

"It's been seven years, Miss Cate,how have you been?"

Cate tried to calm her down and forced a smile,"I've been okay, how about you ,Brother Tyrone?

But this made scar's face suddenly changed color. He kicked her handheld and cursed,"You Bitch! If you hadn't cut me the face back then, I would be much better off now!"

Cate groaned in pain,and her arm left bloody marks on the floor. She forced a smile and said, It was just a momentarily mistake. I'll make it up to you,Brother Tyrone. You're a big shot,don't bother with a weak woman like me,okay?"

"You're talking lightly!"

Scar grabbed her pony tail and lifted her up,"Look at this Handsome face of mine,what have you done to it!"

If it weren't for the wrong location, Cate would almost laugh out. She had always been able to relax and stay calm in dangerous situations, and it's the same now as she deals with scarface.

"This my fault. How about his,I'll pay for you to get plastic surgery. I guarantee your new face will be just as handsome as your old one.

What do you say?

This is probably an abandoned warehouse, with dusty iron boxes piled around and someone guarding the door. Cate looks around and sees a ventilation window on the warehouse wall. She immediately had an idea.

Scarface doesn't notice Cate's small movements and continues to curs6,"stop trying to sweet talk me!" You should save that money to buy your own coffin!"

Cate heart sinks,a sense of foreboding rising within her.

Tyrone taps her face with a cold blade of knife and laughs chillingly, "but before I send you to meet the King of Hell,I have to make you pretty little face boom..."

"Tyrone, your phone is ringing!"

A voice from outside interrups scarface, and he stands yp,looking down at Cate. "You better stay put!"Bien,keep a close eye on her!Don't let her escape!"

After scarface leaves the warehouse and the heavy iron door slams shut and locks, Cate waits quietly for a moment. She confirms that scarface won't be coback anytime soon before she struggles to move her body and reaches behind her to pick up a sharp stone.

She leans against an iron box,but there's nothing unusual to see. Soon, Cate feels the rope binding her hands loosen,and she struggles to break free. She unties the binding on her legs and stands up,noticing that scarface probably didn't notice her phone when she tied her up. Now,her phone is lying in an inconspicuous corner.

Cate picked up her phone,trying not take too much noise to arouse suspicion from whoever was outside the warehouse, and she had no one to call for help.

Her finger6 scrolled through the screen for a while before stopping at the last number that she dialed. There was no contact name, just unsaved numbers.

She took a deep breath and pressed the call button.

"Hello?"came the voice of Jael Sweeny.

Cate fell silent for a moment, then chuckled softly and said in a low voice,"Um..I'm sorry yo bother you, but I think I've been kidnapped. "

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Jael ask6,"where are you?"

"I'm not sure, it seems to be an abandoned warehouse..."

There was a notice outside the door, and Cate didn't have time to think. She whispered into the phone,"I won't hang up,you'd better come quickly, I don't want to die."

Jael stared at the phone screen that was still in the middle of the call,his face covered in a layer of frost.He suddenly stood up and said in a stern voice,"Lione,prepare the car!"

Lione was taken aback and hesitated, "Are you going out now?" But we just received a message from Italy that some details of the cooperation that need to be discussed with you in person..."

''Don't you understand what am saying?"Sweeny's tone was icy,and his face was extremely ugly. "Go prepare the car now."

Lione had never seen him like this before, and was frightened by his expression. He immediately responded and went to contact the police.

Jael Sweeny tightly held his phone, his eyes brewing an invisible storms. Finally,he pounded his fist heavily on the table and strode out

In the warehouse, Cate Casually stuffed her phone into her pocket and looked around. She pushed several boxes together under the ventilation window and climbed up on them. Luckily, the window was old and dilapidated from years of disrepair, making it easy for her to remove the blades.
