Female Novel
Chapter 53
The trip to Terragon Hill was meant to just be an outing between two dorms, where the students couldmingle and make more friends. However, no one expected such an incident to occur, which was indeedworrying.
It didn’t help that Mandy was someone independent and largely kept to herself. Therefore, no one hadany idea where she had gone to.
“Hmph, that penniless lass. It’s impossible for us to have even gone near her. Who knows what she’sup to. Perhaps, she must be scavenging the trash for some food,” Nancy sneered.
“That’s right. Mandy isn’t part of our clique at all. If not for the fact that we belong to the same dorm, Iwouldn’t have bothered to come on this trip with her,” Jenny added.
“Can both of you stop being so snarky? If Mandy is really missing, I’m sure both of you will also feelbad about it, right?” As a fellow dormmate, Wendy couldn’t help but frown as he admonished bothJenny and Nancy.
She knew that they were rich and always stuck together in the dorm. In fact, Jenny would always act asNancy’s sidekick. Ever since the first day they arrived at the dorm, they had never been nice to Mandy.
Furthermore, they would bully Mandy so often that Wendy couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
And now, despite Mandy’s disappearance, both girls were still making snide comments. In the face ofCasper and his friends, Wendy couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for their conduct.
After all, there were plenty of students who were both principled and upright in the Business University.
“Casper, let’s split up and look for her. I feel Mandy won’t disappear for no reason. Wendy just told mewhile they were resting at the pavilion, Mandy informed them that she wanted to take a look at the
waterfall nearby. However, it has already been half an hour, and she has yet to return,” Felix explainedanxiously.
“Did you give her a call?” Remy asked frantically. He remembered that Mandy had her phone with her.If she was uncontactable, it would mean that something must have happened.
“I called, but it has been turned off.”
Wendy took out her phone and gave Casper Mandy’s number.
When Casper tried to call, he heard the robotic tone telling him that the number he was calling wasn’t inservice.
“Let’s split up and look for her. As for you girls, stay together and don’t wander off.”
Casper glanced at Lillian. “Lillian, stay with Wendy and the others. I, Felix, and the rest will split up andlook for her. Call us if there’s anything.”
Felix added, “It’s decided then. Let’s start searching now. We can’t lose anyone on this trip.”
As the organizers of the activity, Felix and Wendy shouldered the largest responsibility. Therefore,when Felix was about to panic, Casper’s level-headedness help calmed him down. Hence, he couldn’thelp but admire how composed Casper was under such frantic circumstances.
Once everything was settled, Casper grabbed a water bottle and left together with Felix and the others.In search of her, they followed the trail that Mandy had taken.
Although Terragon Hill was frequented by a lot of tourists, its management had not caught up with itspopularity. Even if the police were called now, they might not be able to mobilize quickly enough tohelp.
Therefore, Casper felt that they should try searching for her first instead.
While looking for her, Casper arrived at the waterfall. Standing in front of it, he was awed by the impactcaused by the water crashing down. After scrutinizing the area, he followed a path that led to the top ofthe hill. At that moment, he figured the chances of Mandy doing downhill were slim.
After searching along the trail for five or six minutes, a jarring reflection suddenly caught Casper’s eye.When he turned to check, he saw an old phone that seemed to belong to a girl in the bushes, as ifsomeone had dropped it there.
The moment he picked it up, he recognized it as Mandy’s phone.
Suddenly, a sense of dread crept upon him. Something terrible must have happened to Mandy.
“It seems she must be in some sort of trouble.”
Casper shook his head and mumbled to himself, “No matter what kind of trouble you’re in, I will findyou. Injustice will never prevail for long.”
As Casper continued on the path uphill, it led to an old monastery. The moment he saw it, Casperdashed ahead without delay.
However, he wasn’t naive. As the building was located by the side of the hill, it might be used forcriminal activities now despite being a monastery a long time ago. In that case, it would definitely spelltrouble.
No matter how fearless and strong he was, he still had to take into account Mandy’s safety.
Examining the monastery from afar, Casper could see shadows moving discreetly through the window.
He immediately backtracked along where he came from. Until the person was gone, he darted into thetrees by the side and stealthily approached the building. Hiding underneath the window line, he circledaround and arrived at the backyard. When he saw that the back door was open, he quickly slippedthrough it without anyone noticing.
“Boss, this girl is so hot that I can’t control myself. Why don’t you let me have some fun with her? Afterall, we’re going to sell her off anyway.”
Just when Casper was crouching behind a statue, he heard a conversation from within.
“No, we can’t break the rules. If they test the goods and realize she isn’t a virgin, what are you going todo?” the boss replied.
“Boss, this girl is a university student. It’s hard to find female university students who are still virginsnowadays. Boss, haven’t you heard the saying? ‘The kindergarten is the only place you can still find avirgin now’.”
“Bullsh*t. She’s obviously a virgin! If you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll make sure you regret it,” theseeming leader replied in exasperation.
“Boss, I saw someone walking in this direction. But the kid turned and headed back to where he camefrom. Do you think he noticed us?” At that moment, the lookout that Casper saw reported his presence.
“It’s unlikely he did. Anyway, the few of you have to be on your toes. If anyone comes to visit, you needto deal with them properly and don’t blow our cover!” the boss instructed.
This place was where they conducted human trafficking of women and children. Ever since they foundthe monastery, they realized it was a fantastic place for their hideout.novelbin
