Sydney didn't have the guts to move anymore.
Noticing that she was obedient, the strong man let go a bit on her ankles.
The next second, she felt that her upper body was raised.
Vaguely, she felt that the two men were putting her into the van.
As expected, they let go of her wrists and ankles at the same time. She was raised in the air and thrown on something not soft or hard.
She touched it and realized that it was a seat in the van. Her heart did a flip-flop.
They threw her in the van.
They wanted to take her away!
Noticing that, she trembled!
'No. I can't be taken away by them. No one knows where they will take me.’
'If I’m taken to the wilderness, what will happen to me will be foreseeable.'
I have to run away!'
As soon as she thought of that, she sat up.
However, the reality was cruel.
As soon as she sat up, her arms were grabbed by a strong man. The man held her hands behind her back and pressed her against the seat violently.
Her face rubbed against the rough back of the seat. It hurt. She cried out in pain, "It hurts. Let go of me!" Of course, the strong man wouldn't let go of her. He even taped her mouth with adhesive plaster.
Sydney couldn't make a sound anymore.
One strong man said, "Alright. Tie her up with the rope. We should leave. We will be in trouble if we stay here for too long. The police may notice us."
The other strong man said, "I know." Then Sydney felt that her feet were tied up.
Outside the van, Erika saw that Sydney had been grabbed into the van. Erika ignored that she was hurt seriously, bore the pain and tried her best to stand up to save Sydney.
However, Erika had underestimated her injuries. Her waist was hurt seriously when she fell just now.
Thus, as soon as she stood up, she fell to the ground again. She hurt her caudal vertebra this time and was hurt more seriously.
She knew that she was unable to stand up. Besides, she was unable to save Sydney alone.
Thus, she turned to look at the surrounding passersby and begged anxiously, "Please save her. As long as you save her, we will repay you! Please!"
There were only two strong men in the van, and there were many passersby. As long as these passersby lent a hand, Sydney would be saved.
However, Erika forgot people's cowardice and indifference.
These passersby just stood here to rubberneck.
Hearing that Erika asked for help, they stepped back immediately. Some of them even dispersed and left. They showed that they were reluctant to save Sydney completely.
They had sympathy for Sydney, who had been grabbed into the van, but it didn’t mean that they were willing to save her. What if they got hurt?
People were selfish. Compared to saving others, they preferred to protect themselves.
Seeing that no one was willing to save Sydney, Erika felt disappointed. Her eyes were filled with despair.
She pointed at them with a trembling finger and said, "You... You..."
These people, who had been pointed, all turned around, looked away and avoided her gaze because they felt guilty.
They knew that they were indifferent.
Finally, Erika saw the two strong men driving the van away but could do nothing. She lay prone on the ground, cried sadly and blamed herself.
She blamed herself that she didn't take care of Sydney and didn't save Sydney.
Not far away, Zach drove the Maybach and saw the front crowd. He said, "President Flint, something has happened in front. Many people have gathered around."
Usually, Julien wasn't interested in such a kind of thing. However, he felt uneasy somehow when he saw the crowd in front this time.
Zach parked the car in a parking space that was behind the crowd, opened the car door and was about to open the back seat door for Julien, but Julien opened the car door and got out of the car.
Julien narrowed his eyes, stared at the crowd and said, "Go to see what has happened."
