Xia Yanxin hadn’t walked a few steps before he hoisted her entire body up and then slammed her against the door, her head hitting the back, which hurt terribly…
His forearm was pressed directly against her throat, with such force that she was struggling to breathe.
“Liar, spewing nonsense, we’ve already tested that bottle of wine, and it’s laced with sleeping pills, clearly your doing.
Who sent you here!!
If you don’t speak, believe me, I can kill you right now!”
His arm tightened, his eyes turned bloodshot, filled with intense killing intent.
She glared back at him, her face gradually turning red, her legs dangling in mid-air, kicking frantically before she finally mustered a few strained words.
“No, I really don’t know…”
As the air in her lungs dwindled, her face turned from red to purple until she finally went limp.
Monica hastily rushed over, “Master, don’t be impulsive!
If you kill her, we lose all our leads.
Let me slowly interrogate her.”
Long Yutian frowned deeply and slowly released his arm.
She stumbled and fell askew.
For some reason, he instinctively caught her…
Afraid she would fall?
Impossible.
He was never one to pity or spare women.
He glanced at the woman in his arms with slight disgust, so thin and small, yet so stubborn, preferring death over revealing the truth.
Where did this spine of hers come from?
No matter what, he detested such women, who were both deceitful and obdurate.
Women should be tender like water, docile and compliant.
He shoved her away forcefully and coldly instructed Monica, “Keep a close watch on her!”
The house was enormous, with towering sculpted columns everywhere, luxurious walls hung with antique oil paintings on both sides, the broad and quiet corridors seeming to never end…
Monica, maintaining her upright posture, walked unhurriedly in front, and Xia Yanxin, who had regained consciousness, followed, glancing around; similar corridors and rooms made her lose her bearings.
After what felt like half an hour, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Um, where exactly are you taking me?”
Monica stopped in front of a room, pushed open the door, and after Xia Yanxin entered, she closed the door behind her.
“Listen up, I’m giving you one day to think carefully.
If you can remember where the Dragon Ring is, we’ll send you back home unharmed.
If you refuse to cooperate with us, you’ve seen the master’s temper for yourself, and then no one can help you.”
Although Monica seemed well-intentioned, Xia Yanxin felt her head swell, becoming somewhat frantic, “I really don’t know about any Dragon Ring.
What is that exactly?
Can you describe it to me?
Perhaps I could recall something.”
Monica was silent for a while, then took out a large dragon-shaped ring from her pocket.
“It looks exactly like this, but the one in question is crafted from black gold…”
“Oh?
This trinket?
You can get three for ten yuan at a street stall.
Look, your master owns such a big house, has so many diamonds, he surely wouldn’t fuss over a ring to the point of nearly killing me, right?
Besides, you still have this one!” Xia Yanxin was usually a bit careless and rarely paid attention to details.
She still couldn’t remember Long Yutian wearing the Dragon Ring at the time.
“This in my hand is just a similar sample, it doesn’t compare to that one at all, its value is indescribable, and such an item can’t be counterfeited, it’s a symbol of the master’s identity and status, and it’s key to the life and death of Longteng International.
I can’t disclose any more details to you, think about it!”
After Monica left and closed the door behind her, Xia Yanxin curled up on the sofa, her hands buried in her hair as she violently pulled, what to do, what to do?
Longteng International…
It sounded familiar, like Jin Meiqi had mentioned attending some luxury jewelry exhibition, and Longteng International was the sponsor.
If it was true, could that mean they were even wealthier and more powerful than the Jin Family?
Wait, never mind Longteng International, she was clueless about the Dragon Ring, she must leave this place…
Upon opening the window, a gust of cold wind blew in, causing her to shiver uncontrollably, drenched by that lunatic.
So cold!
Peering down from the edge, she saw the green grass below, neatly trimmed flower beds with golden blooms, a big fountain, and beyond that, a dense expanse of metal wire mesh disappearing into the thick woods…
What kind of godforsaken place was this?
At about the height of seven floors, she didn’t have the courage to jump.
After growing restless for a while, her gaze landed on the telephone by the bed, so she hastily went over.
Picking up the phone, she dialed Chu Sihao’s mobile without hesitation.
“Brother Sihao, I’ve been kidnapped, please come save me!”
As soon as the call connected, Xia Yanxin began to shout desperately.
“Yo, calling with such intimacy, I’m getting embarrassed for you…” Jin Meiqi’s voice came through the phone, laden with spiteful derision.
Xia Yanxin was stunned; she definitely dialed Chu Sihao’s mobile, so why was Jin Meiqi the one who answered?
If she recalled correctly, today Chu Sihao had made arrangements to take her to meet his parents…
“Jin Meiqi, why are you answering Brother Sihao’s phone?
Give it back to him!
I have an emergency,” Xia Yanxin demanded.
“Xia Yanxin, listen well, you little wretch, Chu Sihao has accepted my confession, and he wants to be with me.
He told me to tell you to stop harassing him from now on,” Jin Meiqi said before hanging up the phone.
