The car door slammed shut, cutting off the blinding sunlight and the last glimmer of hope.

Lin Yutang was pressed down onto the leather seat in the back, with two burly men flanking her on either side.

She struggled to twist her wrists, but the two men held her firmly, like iron clamps, and she didn't budge.

Her long skirt was already crumpled up from the struggle, revealing a section of her fair calves, with faint red marks on her ankles from when she was caught during her last escape.

The car door closed, and the Mercedes smoothly drove away from the park.

Looking at the green belt passing smoothly outside the window, Lin Yutang stopped struggling with a look of despair on her face.

She thought this time would be different.

Trish rarely brought her to Xia Kingdom to handle business, and the moment she stepped onto her homeland, she could almost hear her heart pounding wildly.

An opportunity, the only chance to escape.

She carefully planned to take advantage of his busy schedule, find an excuse to get some fresh air, and then slipped away to this secluded park.

But she was too naive and still couldn't escape the clutches of this pervert.

In the passenger seat, Trish slowly turned around.

He was wearing a well-tailored black shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his well-defined wrist.

His features, a mix of Chinese and German descent, are deep-set and aggressive, with high brow bones and very pale gray-blue pupils, giving him an imposing, condescending look when he looks at people.

He leaned back in the passenger seat, relaxed, as if everything was under his control, which was indeed the case.

"Lin Yutang." A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "I told you, even if you return to Xia Kingdom, you won't escape my grasp."

"You think you can run?"

"No one can save you here," he paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Even if you escape to the Xia Kingdom's police station... it'll just be a little more trouble for me."

His gaze fell on her face, then slowly and aggressively swept over her entire body.

Lin Yutang was indeed extremely beautiful.

She had an extremely delicate and beautiful face, but at this moment it was so pale that it was devoid of any color.

Her almond-shaped eyes were now filled with tears, and her eyelashes trembled slightly with fear.

Her chest heaved rapidly, and the neckline of her long dress was askew, revealing a section of her fair collarbone with several red marks on it.

Trish's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

He just liked seeing her like that.

He enjoyed watching her muster the courage to run away time and time again, only to be easily caught by him each time.

She thought she had succeeded, but then he pulled her back just as her hopes were at their peak.

Then I saw the light in her beautiful eyes gradually fade, leaving only despair and fear.

He didn't want her to be obedient; he wanted her to keep running away and being caught by him until she finally understood.

No matter where she ran, she could never escape his grasp. Until she willingly knelt at his feet, never daring to entertain the thought of running away again.

What he wanted was this complete conquest.

"You didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you." His voice wasn't loud, but he spoke slowly and deliberately, "You ran away."

He tilted his head, looking at her as if she were a collectible he had painstakingly acquired.

"When we get back, you know how I'll punish you."

"This time I'll go a step further, it won't be as...easy as before." He glanced at Lin Yutang's curvaceous figure, his eyes burning with desire.

Finally, he added, "And you should never, ever set foot in the Xia Kingdom again."

His tone was calm, but Lin Yutang shuddered.

The last time she tried to escape, he locked her in the basement for a whole week, giving her only a bottle of water and a piece of bread each day. The chain was just long enough for her to climb to the corner of the wall.

During those days, he would come down to see her once a day, squat in front of her, and ask her in a gentle tone, "Do you know you were wrong?" until she cried and said she knew.

In the future, I may never have the chance to return to my homeland again.

Is she really going to be kept as a pet by this man for the rest of her life?

Her eyes were filled with tears of despair.

Trish turned around, glancing at the driver, his voice regaining its usual coldness and authority: "Contact the family and arrange a private plane back to Germany. It will leave in an hour."

The driver immediately picked up his phone and started making calls.

Trish leaned back in his seat, glanced at the trembling woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth deepened a little more.

Lin Yutang closed her eyes, as if all her last bit of strength had been drained away.

Hot tears finally slid down her cheeks.

That's why she didn't dare to actually go to the police station for help.

Although this devil is a powerful German capitalist family, his influence in Xia Kingdom is rumored to be absolute.

If she went in to call the police alone, someone might have already gotten the news to him before a case was even filed.

Then she might end up like she did in Germany, respectfully returned to this devil by law enforcement.

So she didn't dare go to the police station.

She thought that hiding in this secluded park would be safe for the time being, and that she could escape his clutches once he lost patience.

In the end, she was nothing more than a bird struggling in vain in his palm.

Lin Yutang looked at the street scene rushing past the car window. The sunlight was so bright, but it felt cold on her body.

The car accelerated, heading towards the airport, and also towards that dark cage called Trish, from which she could never escape.

Command Center of Bashi Development Zone Public Security Bureau.

The entire wall of high-definition LED screen flashes, divided into dozens of images, displaying in real time the traffic flow on the city's main roads, the monitoring perspective of key areas, and the constantly updated police information flow.

The deputy director in charge of criminal investigation stood in front of the large screen, his expression calm and his speech unhurried:

"Attention all teams, immediately activate the city gate closure plan. Video team, review surveillance footage around the park to identify the suspect vehicle's brand, color, license plate, and escape route."

Soon, the video investigators pulled up the footage, and a surveillance camera at an intersection on the street had a clear angle.

An image was quickly magnified and projected onto the central main screen.

In the video, two burly men are seen lifting a woman in a white dress in the street and forcibly shoving her into a black Mercedes.

Vehicle information is compared and locked almost instantly.

"Broad daylight, kidnapping someone in the street!" The deputy director stared at the screen, his face darkening, and he forced out the words through gritted teeth, "This is utterly lawless!"

Meanwhile, at the edge of the frame, a strikingly bright blue Aston Martin sports car was also captured.

"Is the person who called the police in that sports car behind?"

"Yes, Director Zhao! It has been preliminarily verified that the car owner, Lu Jingxiu, is the one who dialed 110."

"Okay." Director Zhao took a deep breath and ignored the person who called the police.

The footage from the surveillance cameras clearly shows a heinous kidnapping case that occurred on the street.

He spoke rapidly, issuing the orders: "Immediately activate the emergency response plan for major incidents! Establish a special task force for the 'June 6.12' kidnapping case, with myself as the commander-in-chief, and simultaneously report the situation to the city bureau command center!"

He looked unwell.

If such a major criminal case occurs in his jurisdiction and is not handled properly, he will be the first to be held accountable.

Only when the hostages are safely rescued and the case is quickly solved can this incident be included in the performance review report and become a practical achievement in managing complex situations.

Otherwise, his career would probably have ended there.
