Chapter 3: Calling The Police
Chapter 3: Calling The Police
After threatening Yao Ran, Lan Lifan turned and left the basement. When the iron door closed behind Lan Lifei, the basement fell into darkness. With no one to disturb her, Yao Ran finally had time to sort out her thoughts.
The last thing she remembered was the tearing pain in her body before she lost
consciousness. However, after listening to Lan Guanghui's words, Yao Ran was already very sure that she was reborn.
From her vague memories, her father locking her in the basement should have happened about three months before the end of the world began. She also remembers that Lan Guanghui forced her to transfer all the inheritance left by her grandfather. When she refused, he decided to kidnap her and force her to sign the transfer documents.
In her previous life, she longed for her father's love and agreed to hand over the Yao Group to Lan Guanghui. Unfortunately, her decision was her first step to hell.
Yao Ran took a deep breath to calm down. A second later, she closed her eyes and looked into her body with her mind. When she saw the three energy spheres floating in her Dantian, she was surprised that her abilities had followed her back to the past.
She looked at the energy spheres for a while and found that the black energy sphere, which represented spatial abilities, was dimmer than the green and blue energy spheres. Yao Ran observed these energy spheres thoughtfully for a long time before a realization flashed in her eyes.
"Could it be... the reason why I can go back to the past is because of my spatial ability?"
Yao Ran was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her pale face. "Ha! I should really thank those bastards for injecting me with the serum."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After learning the reason for her rebirth, Yao Ran activated her water element ability. A few seconds later, a small water blade appeared behind her. Relying on her experience from her previous life, Yao Ran controlled the water blade and cut off the rope.
Just as she was about to take the rope away, the door opened again. When the light shone into the basement, Yao Ran closed her eyes. Before her eyes could adjust to the sudden brightness, she heard footsteps come into the basement.
The next second, someone put a plate on the floor in front of her. The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, "Miss, it's time to eat."
After saying that, the middle-aged woman left. However, when she turned around, Yao Ran used her wood ability to summon a thin vine and stole the middle-aged woman's handphone from her pocket.
After the door closed, Yao Ran turned on the handphone and found that it did not have a password.
In fact, older people prefer their phones without passwords. They think that unlocking the phone every time they want to use it is cumbersome, and most old people cannot keep up with the rapid advancements in technology.
Yao Ran looked at the screen and smiled, "Not bad. I'm pretty lucky today."
Without wasting any more time, she pressed three numbers and called the police directly. She waited for a few seconds before the call connected.
"This is the police support department. What can I do for you?" A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yao Ran waited until the police officer asked again, "Hello? Do you need help?"
Hearing this question, Yao Ran smiled. She lowered her voice and whispered tremblingly, "Y- yes."
As soon as the police officer heard her fearful voice, he knew something was wrong. He asked, "Miss, do you need help?"
Yao Ran hummed as an answer, and the police officer asked again, "Can you speak now? Can you tell me what happened?"
She sobbed and whispered, "I, I was kidnapped. Please help me. I'm scared..."
The police officer's tone became serious upon hearing her answer. "Miss, do you know where you are?"
Yao Ran hummed again and answered tremblingly, "It's the basement of my father's villa." The police officer was confused and curious because of her answer, but he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "Can you give me your address?"
Yao Ran tried hard to recall the villa's address from her vague memory and told the police officer.
After the police officer wrote down the address, he said, "Miss, we will immediately send someone to rescue you. Don't be afraid. Try not to make the kidnappers suspicious, and pay attention to safety."
Yao Ran hummed again and whispered urgently, "Hurry up. I heard that they wanted to kill me. I, I'm really scared."
"Miss, you need to stay calm. We will rescue you as soon as possible."
After the police officer finished speaking, Yao Ran urged him again and ended the call.
She then slowly tapped the phone with her index finger and sneered with expectation in her cold eyes, "Since I can't kill you now, I will let you taste what it feels like to be locked in a dark place. You all should live a little longer so we will have enough time to play slowly."
