Qin Lijuan left her home and headed to her usual haunt for playing mahjong.
However, she failed to notice that a car had been trailing her since she left the residential compound.
As she turned into an alley, the car stopped. Several men with covered faces quickly got out. They drugged her unconscious and bundled her into the vehicle.
The abduction was so swift that it went unnoticed. Soon, the car sped away.
When Qin Lijuan came to, she found herself immobilized. It was pitch black all around, and she couldn’t see a thing.
She cried out in terror, "Where is this? Who... who is it?"
Just then, the crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out in the darkness, and a cold voice said, "Qin Lijuan, as a medical worker, have you upheld your oath and your conscience?"
Hearing this voice, Qin Lijuan trembled violently. "Who are you?" she stammered.
"You don’t need to know who I am. Just confess all the unconscionable acts you committed while working at the military hospital."
"I haven’t done anything."
"Think carefully before you speak, or don’t blame me for getting rough."
"You kidnapped me! This is illegal!"
But no sooner had she finished speaking than her arm was struck fiercely with an iron rod. She cried out, "AAH!" The sound was eerie in the darkness.
"I’ll ask you one more time: confess every single guilty deed you’ve done. If you dare hide anything, I have plenty of ways to make you talk."
Qin Lijuan couldn’t understand why this man had kidnapped her or what he wanted to know. When had she ever crossed him?
She wasn’t given much time to think. Seeing her silence, he struck her again with the iron rod. That iron rod must be hollow sheet metal, she thought, or my arm would have been broken by now.
Qin Lijuan wasn’t stupid. If I confess everything, I’ll be finished! "Sir," she pleaded, "could you give me a hint? I really don’t know what you want to find out."
