Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1068 - 1067: Trapped in a Cage

Upon thinking about this, Chu Ge's mind surged with a torrent of wild thoughts—not majestic steeds nor famed stallions, but... alpacas.However, even though Chu Ge realized he had fallen into a trap and was emotionally tumultuous inside, none of these emotions reflected physically; on the surface, he appeared to be in a deep coma.

For Chu Ge, the immediate task was to make his sluggish body regain sensitivity, otherwise...

Although he didn't know exactly what would happen, even if he thought with his toes, what was about to unfold upon him and Chu Shiyao was unlikely to be anything good.

A vague sensation brushed over his numb body; Chu Ge knew someone was lifting him. A few seconds passed, he felt his back being placed onto a hard surface, then his hands were taken up, followed by a faint "click" near his ears, a slight chill on his wrists, and then the sound of wheels rolling came to him.

It seemed... he was now lying on a stretcher? And had been handcuffed?

Damned! What's next? Shackles on the feet?

Just as Chu Ge thought this, events proved him correct; after being handcuffed, his feet too were shackled.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly—clearly, they deemed him a significant threat, preparing everything quite thoroughly.

Yet despite the annoyance, Chu Ge had no choice; even as his mind cleared up, his body remained weak and limp, and moving his eyes was difficult. Resisting against handcuffs and shackles was out of the question.

The rolling sound persisted in his ears, but Chu Ge felt no vibrations, clearly, the ground beneath the trolley was very smooth.

After several minutes, Chu Ge's body gradually regained some strength. Though nowhere near his prime state, he at least regained some mobility.

Nonetheless, Chu Ge lay quietly, patiently listening; if he planned to erupt, it had to be at an opportune moment.

Of course, it would be best to first remove these damned handcuffs and shackles.

"Screech," the trolley stopped.

"Boss, the goods have arrived," a cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Thanks for your effort, take him to S District first. Report back to me once he wakes," then, a voice very familiar to Chu Ge, Chu Chengrui's voice.

"Him? S District?" The previous voice paused slightly.

"Do you have objections?"

"No! Boss!"

Though Chu Chengrui's voice sounded calm, the other voice was clearly highly intimidated, responding respectfully at once.

"As for Chu Shiyao... bring her to S District too. Put them together in a room and handle them carefully, don't harm a single hair on them. Otherwise, your analgesic dosage this month will be halved."

"Yes!"

This response was loud and deferential, yet upon closer listening, it bore hidden anger and resentment.

The trolley resumed motion, traveling another couple of meters before Chu Ge heard the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Father, that Chu Ge... doesn't he require a 'Road to Hell' injection?"

"Not for now; he's different from other test subjects. He may be key to achieving our ultimate goal; the 'Road to Hell' drug effects are too harsh. I wouldn't want any harm to his body."

As Chu Chengrui spoke, Chu Ge faintly heard the sound of fists clenching and teeth grinding; evidently, the one pushing the trolley was producing these noises.

If anything unexpected were to occur, this person was likely among those Chu Chengrui referred to as "test subjects," injected with that "Road to Hell," with strong dissatisfaction due to varying treatment among test subjects.

Just hearing the sinister name "Road to Hell," Chu Ge sensed it must be something dreadful. The "analgesic" Chu Chengrui mentioned might be specifically for this "Road to Hell."

Chu Ge pondered silently, though he felt his guesses were spot-on, there was little to be proud of; avoiding the injection was merely good fortune amidst the misfortune.

Continuing to feign unconsciousness, several minutes later Chu Ge felt himself carefully moved off the trolley onto a reasonably comfortable bed. Not only him, but Chu Shiyao was also placed on the bed.

While being moved off the trolley, clearly to be imprisoned, Chu Ge hesitated for a few seconds about whether to violently resist, but after quick contemplation, he dismissed the thought.

For one, his body hasn't yet fully recovered, his hands are bound, and he doesn't know how many enemies are here. The risk of making a move now is too great, with too many uncertainties.

For another, even if he manages to escape, what about Chu Shiyao?

Forget it, let's observe a bit longer. When Chu Shiyao wakes up, she can better understand the current situation. With the facts right in front of her, some things can't be denied.

Chu Ge came to the Chu Family this time to see Chengrui's true face, and perhaps considering the current situation, he achieved his goal. However... the process and the result were completely different from his expectations.

Careless, truly careless!

Chu Ge had considered that Chu Chengrui might harm him, but he didn't expect Chengrui to act so quickly. Surprisingly, while he was unconscious, he failed to detect anything amiss.

Chu Ge's senses were originally extremely sharp, and after that coma, they became even keener. Yet, he felt no sense of danger nor detected any unusual smells.

Moreover, Chu Ge had dealt with many drugs and gases before, his body built a high resistance. Even a dart from an anesthesia gun wouldn't easily knock him down.

Chu Ge believes the problem must've been with the air inside the car at the time. Apart from that, theoretically, there shouldn't be any other possibilities.

Thinking back, the reason he fell for it was mainly due to his low spirits at that time. That mood made him unaware of any issue with his tiredness.

All in all, since things have already come to this, endless reflection won't help; he can only take things one step at a time.

Presumably... Chu Shiyao must be heartbroken, right?

And... who exactly was the person who just called Chu Chengrui father?

Thinking of this, Chu Ge silently sighed.

Lying on the bed, Chu Ge pondered and waited, unconsciously thinking of Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying. He wondered what the two of them were doing now and how long it would be before he saw them again.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a faint nasal sound broke the dead silence; Chu Shiyao finally woke up from her slumber.

"Hmm..."

Chu Shiyao instinctively rubbed her temples, opening her still drowsy eyes. Seeing her surroundings, she froze, her expression filled with astonishment and confusion.

Blinking her big eyes, Chu Shiyao hurriedly nudged Chu Ge beside her.

Chu Ge also opened his eyes, pretending to have just woken up, slowly sitting up and scanning his surroundings.

It was a room of about forty square meters, with a double bed, a set of wooden table and chairs, a bathroom, and cameras at the corners of the ceiling. As a prison environment, it wasn't bad.

With Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao at the center, the left and right sides were flanked by shiny silver metal walls. In the wall corner to the right, a quadrilateral open conduit seemed to supply air, water, and food.

Above them was a sepia glass ceiling, directly across was a large transparent glass wall, allowing them to see everything outside clearly. Despite this, there was no activity outside, only a few laboratory tables with test tubes, and a door on the wall, from which they were presumably brought in.

Behind them was a wall-sized screen, currently devoid of any image.

"Brother Chu, where are we? What's going on?"

This strange and eerie environment left Chu Shiyao completely baffled; she clung to Chu Ge's arm, dazedly asking.

"With a scene like this, you should know right away, shouldn't you?" Chu Ge chuckled self-deprecatingly, "To put it kindly, it's a prison; harshly, it's a cage. As for how we got here... it's clearly your grandfather's masterpiece."

"Impossible, this... how could this be? There must be some mistake, definitely..."

Chu Shiyao's pupils shrank, releasing Chu Ge's arm, shaking her head vigorously, speaking incoherently.

"He's right; that's how it is."

The screen wall behind Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao suddenly lit up, showing Chu Chengrui's figure, his face carrying that familiar benevolent smile. Yet, his words left Chu Shiyao as if plunged into an ice cave.

Seeing the smiling Chu Chengrui on the screen, Chu Ge snorted disdainfully, then turned his gaze aside, leaving Chu Shiyao and Chu Chengrui staring at each other across the screen.
