After taking a rest, Freya's spirit improved a lot, but the feeling of dizziness hadn't completely disappeared. She had experienced this before. In severe cases, it would take several days for her to gradually regain her strength.

However, Freya didn't want to worry Bradley, so she didn't tell him about it.

After drinking the whole glass of water, she asked, "What about Lan Xiaoling? Have they found her yet?"

Before coming to hypnotize Xiaolan, Gabriel had called and said that Lan Xiaoling had left. She had asked Mi Luo to go and take care of the two children, but there had been no news so far.

Freya was worried, so she asked Bradley.

"I've already mobilized the brothers of the Dark Web to search for her, but we haven't found her yet."

The extent to which Gabriel cared about Lan Xiaoling exceeded Bradley's imagination. He had thought it was just a bit of affection before, but now it seemed that the existence of Lan Xiaoling had surpassed his feelings for Xiaolan.

Freya let out a deep sigh. "Xiaoling left just to fulfill Xiaolan, but she has no relatives or friends here. Where can she go after leaving?"

"Don't worry. Gabriel will find her."

Bradley comforted her, but he was also worried about Gabriel in his heart.

If Lan Xiaoling was found at this time, how would Gabriel face Xiaolan?

Meanwhile, Gabriel led a group of people to search the mountain and unexpectedly found Lan Xiaoling's hairpin at this moment.

There were many local lawless people in this area. They made a living by robbing passers-by. Moreover, they had been oppressed by the Dark Web for years and were very resentful. If Lan Xiaoling met them, she would definitely end up in a bad situation.

"Who are lurking in this area?" Gabriel clenched the hairpin tightly, his face extremely bad.

A brother came forward and reported, "They are from Qinglong Stronghold. Recently, they have been very restless, and our brothers have found them frequently moving around here several times."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel frowned deeply.

Lan Xiaoling's hairpin was here, and there were signs of a struggle around. Could it be that something really happened to her?

"Send people to search the mountain for me!"

Gabriel's voice was tense, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes."

A group of people from Qinglong Stronghold quickly went up the mountain and started a search in a surrounding manner.

...

Qinglong Stronghold.

Lan Xiaoling was captured and taken up the mountain. The brothers had been hiding in the mountains all year round, and since no woman had ever passed through this area, when they saw such a beautiful woman now, their eyes were already shining with greed.

"Brother, our brothers haven't had a woman for a long time. Just give this woman to us to have a taste," a brother said, drooling.

"This woman was captured by the boss to be his lady of the stronghold. You have the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard. How dare you covet the boss's woman? Don't you want your life?"

The brother who came up with the boss scolded.

The brother who had coveted Lan Xiaoling immediately retreated to the side, looking dejected.

How could one have the boss's woman? It was like courting death, wasn't it?

Sure enough, they heard the boss say fiercely, "If you want a woman, follow me down the mountain next time. If we can catch another woman, I'll let you have fun."

After that, he walked up and pinched Lan Xiaoling's chin, a lewd smile curving his lips. "Take her to clean up. I want to have the wedding night with her tonight."

"Don't worry, boss. We'll make sure she's clean and beautiful," the brothers all laughed.

Lan Xiaoling looked at the boss with great disgust and struggled hard to break free from the man's restraint.

However, the boss, Xiongyan, was very strong, and she couldn't move at all.

"Let me go! Let me go now!"

Seeing her resentful and stubborn eyes, Xiongyan laughed even more arrogantly. "Let you go? Where else can I find such a beautiful woman like you?"

"Be good and listen. It's not a loss to be my lady of the stronghold. I'll let you have delicious food and good drinks every day and make sure you live comfortably."

Lan Xiaoling spat. "Who wants to be your lady? Let me go quickly. Otherwise, when Young Master Lu comes, he will definitely not let you go."

It was impossible for them to let her go, so Lan Xiaoling could only choose to threaten them.

But unexpectedly, when Gabriel was mentioned, Xiongyan's eyes immediately changed.

"Young Master Lu? Which Young Master Lu?"

He asked fiercely, and his grip on her unconsciously tightened a bit.

Lan Xiaoling was extremely scared. She had encountered people who tried to molest her in Central Africa before, but she had never met bandits like these in the mountains. She had even thought that such people only existed in TV shows or novels.

She said in a trembling voice, "Gabriel, the leader of the Dark Web. You send me down the mountain immediately. Otherwise, he will definitely bring the people of the Dark Web and wipe out your entire stronghold."

At this point, she could only bring up Gabriel to save herself.

Otherwise, if she was violated by these people, she would rather die.

When Xiongyan heard the name Gabriel, he indeed showed some fear. But the next second, he slapped Lan Xiaoling hard.

"So she's Gabriel's woman. Then we definitely can't let her go!"

Xiongyan's face showed a fierce look, and he clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. "Spread the news that this woman is in Qinglong Stronghold and let Gabriel come alone to redeem her."

"Yes."

Soon, a brother went down to spread the news.

And Xiongyan laughed coldly several times and asked the other brothers to go down and prepare a big "gift" to wait for Gabriel to come and die on his own initiative.

"Beauty, let's see if Gabriel will come to the appointment for you."

After arranging everything, Xiongyan laughed heartily.

Lan Xiaoling then realized that she had made a big mistake. She shouldn't have involved Gabriel.

These people looked extremely cruel, and it seemed that they had a deep hatred for Gabriel. Otherwise, they wouldn't have set up an inescapable trap waiting for him.

If that was the case, if Gabriel came up the mountain, he would definitely be in danger.

Lan Xiaoling said in fear, "I was just talking nonsense just now. I have no relationship with him, and he definitely won't come up to save me."

"Is that so?"

Looking at her frightened appearance, Xiongyan's mouth curved into a cold smile. "We'll know soon enough whether he will come or not."

For years, Xiongyan had been cowering and hiding in the mountains and had to rely on robbing passers-by to make a living. He had long hated the Dark Web to the core.

If it weren't for Gabriel's constant persecution, Xiongyan would still be the leader of a territory, enjoying the days of having beautiful women around him and drinking and eating heartily.

But just because Gabriel had driven him to the wall, he had lost everything and could only lead his brothers to hide in the mountains in a sorry state.

Now, God had favored him so much that he had caught Gabriel's woman. How could he let go of such a good opportunity for revenge?

This time, he definitely wanted to make Gabriel never return alive.

"Haha!"

Xiongyan laughed loudly towards the sky.

Gabriel had expected that Xiongyan would definitely set a trap waiting for him to fall into it, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

When he received the news from Qinglong Stronghold, his brows furrowed deeply.

The brother who came with him reminded, "Boss, this must be Xiongyan's trap. You definitely can't go."

"Qinglong Stronghold dared to touch my people. Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, I have to go."

Given Xiongyan's character, if he didn't show up, he would definitely do something bad to Lan Xiaoling.
