Chapter 1984 Irena was kidnapped

Pi Yangyang thought about it and walked over.

Xue Ziming, Chu Ge and others also gathered around, looking at Patrick and Amira curiously, not understanding what was going on.

When they went to Patrick's house yesterday, the family was fine.

Now he suddenly comes here with tears and snot. Could something have happened?

Amira also looked anxious, and even shed tears, looking very uncomfortable.

She tried to calm herself and comfort Patrick.

But Patrick's emotions were almost broken and he couldn't control himself at all.

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but ask, "Amira, what happened?"

Amira then realized that Pi Yangyang and the others were in front of her. She quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Something happened to Irena... She was kidnapped..."

Pi Yangyang, Xue Ziming and Chu Ge were all shocked at the same time.

"Captured? By whom?"

Pi Yangyang's heart sank, thinking that it was because he had gone to see Patrick yesterday and attracted the attention of the mining area, so the people in the mining area took Irena away to warn Patrick.

Before Amira could answer, Patrick heard Pi Yangyang's voice. He turned around immediately as if he had met a savior, knelt down in front of Pi Yangyang, Xue Ziming and Chu Ge without hesitation, and spoke loudly with excitement.

However, not only did Pi Yangyang not understand what he said, even Xue Ziming, who had lived here for a while, was confused.

“After we got back yesterday, Irena wanted to come to town to play with me that afternoon,” Amira said, forcing herself to calm down. “But as soon as she arrived, she was captured by some armed men…”

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, it wasn't I who implicated Irena. It was her misfortune that led to her encounter with militiamen, and she was captured.

Thinking of the big-bellied officer they met yesterday, Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others didn't find it too strange.

This place is such a mess, it's really dangerous for young girls to go out.

"How did your uncle know?"

Chu Ge asked curiously.

"Someone from our village accidentally saw it and told my uncle last night when he got home."

Amira replied.

Xue Ziming frowned. "Are the militants here all from the mining area? Could it be that someone from the mining area captured Irena?"

Amira suddenly woke up and immediately asked Patrick.

After hearing this, Patrick stopped crying, said a few words to Amira, then stood up and jumped onto a shabby motorcycle not far away, started it up and sped away.

Pi Yangyang asked in astonishment: "Where is he going?"

Amira said, "He said he wanted to go to the mining area to check. If he was caught there, he would definitely ask them to release Irena."

Chu Ge asked hesitantly, "Will they let him go?"

Amira hesitated and said, “My uncle is the material registrar for the mine. If they knew Irena was his daughter, would they let her go?”

A trace of worry flashed in Xue Ziming's eyes.

He was very clear about how brutal the local armed forces here were.

Even if Patrick is the material registrar of the mining area, these militants will not care about this. They will not let go of the fat sheep they have got easily.

Besides, Irena was abducted yesterday afternoon. It has been a whole night. What was supposed to happen must have happened long ago.

Although Pi Yangyang and others wanted to help, they really didn't know where to start in this foreign country.

Amira waited anxiously and stayed outside, refusing to come into the house.

She had a good relationship with Irena since childhood. How could she not be anxious when she knew she was in trouble?

And she knew very well what the consequences would be if she was captured by those militants.

Now she could only pray that Irena was still alive.

For the whole morning, Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others were restless, and they waited anxiously for news from Patrick along with Amira.

Four hours passed and Patrick still hadn't returned.

Amira was so anxious that she called her father.

As soon as the call was connected, she heard a woman crying heart-wrenchingly from the other end.

She asked anxiously, "Dad, is uncle back?"

"I'm back..." Her father's voice sounded weak and obviously very sad.

Amira’s heart sank, and she forced herself to ask, “What about… Irena?”

"She...she's back too..." her father replied.

“Is she okay?” Amira’s voice trembled.

There was silence on the other side for a full half minute before he said, "Come back and take a look."

Then the phone was hung up.

Amirah was immediately anxious and turned to Pi Yangyang and said, "Mr. Pi, I'm sorry, I have to go back immediately."

Pi Yangyang hadn't understood what Amira had said on the phone. Seeing her anxiously heading back, he asked, "Did you find Irena?"

“Well, she’s home. I…I want to go back and see her,” Amira said.

Pi Yangyang nodded and immediately made a decision, "Let's go with you to take a look."

Amira was so confused at the moment that she didn't think much about it. She nodded and said, "Thank you."

Xue Ziming hurriedly drove the car, took Pi Yangyang, Tie Niu and Amira, and sped towards the village where her home was.

The town is not far from Amira's village. Although the road is bad, Xue Ziming still drives very fast.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived near Patrick's house.

From a distance, I saw a lot of people standing outside his house.

A few people jumped out of the car, but before they got close, they heard Aunt Amira crying and the discussions of many people around.

Amira anxiously pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, shouting, "Irena... Irena..."

Pi Yangyang, Tie Niu and Xue Ziming also squeezed in.

The people around looked at them curiously, and suddenly someone showed an angry expression and surrounded them aggressively, as if he was going to fight.

These people roared loudly, their eyes full of anger, as if they were full of hatred towards Pi Yangyang and others.

Pi Yangyang and Xue Ziming were a little stunned, wondering why these people were like this.

Seeing that these people were about to take action, fortunately Amira heard the noise outside, rushed out quickly, stood in front of Pi Yangyang, and explained a few words to the angry villagers.

After hearing her explanation, the villagers calmed down a little and had no intention of taking further action.

Amira said, "Mr. Pi, wait here for me. I'll go in and see what's going on."

Pi Yangyang nodded.

He knew something must have happened to Irena. Her family was grieving and angry, so it was inappropriate for him to go in at this time.

Amira rushed into the house and saw her parents, uncle, aunt, and several younger brothers and sisters.

Her eyes quickly locked onto Irena.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that at least she was still there.

At this time, Irena was sitting on the ground, being held by Amira's mother. She had a dull expression, and her originally brown skin looked a little pale.

She was wrapped in a tattered blanket, her disheveled hair, and the bruises on her neck and arms were very eye-catching.

It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

Amira's mother hugged Irena and cried silently, while Irena's mother was crying her heart out and lying on the ground, looking like she had lost all her energy.

Patrick clenched his fists, veins popped out on his skinny arms, and his teeth made a clattering sound.

Amira's father kept asking Patrick anxious questions and yelling at him from time to time.

"Dad, what happened?"

Amira goes over and whispers to her father.

Amira’s father sighs, takes her arm, and steps aside. Suppressing his anger, he whispers, “Irena was captured by the people from the mine last night. They tortured her all night… If your uncle hadn’t rushed over today and begged her, she…she might not have lived…”

Amira's heart ached and tears flowed silently.

Although she had already thought about what would happen, she still couldn't control the sadness in her heart when she heard it with her own ears.

"Doesn't my uncle work in the mine? How could they do this?" she said sadly.

Amira’s father sighed. “Those people are animals! Irena told them her father worked at the mine, but they…they…”

He became more and more sad and angry as he spoke, and could not continue.

“Who on earth is it…” Amira chokes miserably. “Why are they doing this?”

"Those Koreans in their mine... there are quite a few of them..."
