Charlie had clearly prepared in advance. His men quickly placed Jason in a wheelchair, while two others kept an eye on Song Fan.
“I’m sorry I have to deal with you this way,” Charlie said, sounding a bit apologetic, “but you’re too important, not just to Jason but to the Brown Group as well.”
Recalling what Jason had told him about Song Fan, Charlie licked his lips.
As long as Song Fan could replace Jason in developing new drugs, he would have nothing to worry about and could become the sole heir of the Brown family.
Song Fan was taken to a van and had her eyes covered. She didn’t say a word throughout.
The vehicle initially moved slowly, indicating they were in the city.
After about an hour, the city noises faded, and the car sped up, clearly on the highway.
She didn’t know where they were taking her but felt no panic, only concern for Gu Chen.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the car seemed to enter a tunnel and then stopped suddenly.
Charlie removed her blindfold. “Sorry for the inconvenience,” he said.
Song Fan squinted her eyes. The surroundings were dark except for some light inside the vehicle, making it hard to see anything clearly.
But she could hear the sound of waves and feel the sea breeze.
“You were right. We can do very little in A City, so we had to take you with us,” Charlie said.
His words gave her a bad feeling—they were taking her away?
Song Fan clenched her fists but remained silent, staring at Charlie.
“Don’t look at me like that. You’re scaring me,” Charlie said, making an exaggerated face. Then he snapped his fingers, and the lights came on.
Song Fan instinctively shielded her eyes. Once adjusted, she saw they were inside a modified shipping container. It had a lighting system and a sealed glass laboratory with various equipment—not high-end, but enough for basic experiments.
“My second brother is quite something, isn’t he? He’s a scientific madman. He brought his lab with him to A City,” Charlie said, stepping out of the van and knocking on the lab’s glass door. “He had great foresight. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do with you.”
Song Fan followed him out, observing their surroundings. The interior was simple, with no cover except for the lab’s glass and the vehicle.
There was only one main door, and the ventilation ducts were too small, leaving no possibility for escape.
Charlie, seeming to read her mind, shook his head. “Give it up. You can’t escape.”
He took out his phone and showed her a video. “Oh, by the way, President Gu has woken up.”
Song Fan didn’t take the phone, knowing Charlie wouldn’t let her have it, but she felt relieved seeing the man in the video.
Gu Chen, although weak, looked angry.
“Charlie, I warn you, you’re not in B Country. Send Song Fan back now! This is kidnapping!” His face flushed with anger. “You think you can take her away? Dream on! My people will find you soon. You’d better wise up!”
Charlie put away the phone, smirking. “Miss Song, reassured now?”
The container door opened with a heavy sound, and sunlight streamed in.
Song Fan quickly looked outside but saw only black and red containers, indicating they were at a container storage area in a port.
There were no dock workers, only Charlie’s men.
Her heart sank. Escape seemed impossible, and if she couldn’t get away now, going abroad with them would make returning even harder.
“You have one minute to tell me what materials you need to detoxify Jason. I’ll have them sent over,” Charlie said, checking his watch. He then walked to the door and turned back, “Don’t think about running. You can’t escape in this place, so don’t waste your effort.”
“Charlie!” Song Fan called out, stopping him as he was about to leave. “Are you sure you want to cooperate with your second brother?”
