"Ummm... Umph... Umph...."
In another pitch-black room of the same mansion, a woman sat bound to a chair. Thick ropes dug into her wrists and ankles, cutting off circulation. A filthy cloth gagged her mouth, choking her protests before they could take form. As if that wasn't enough, a black blindfold covered her eyes, trapping her in suffocating darkness.
Two days. She had been here for two days. No food, no water. She was abandoned here like discarded trash. The silence was maddening, broken only by the sound of her own ragged breathing. Fear filled her heart as she wondered who had brought her here.
Who had done this? Why? Was it Xia Yuqing? Or Mrs. Hu?
Was she about to be tortured?
Was she going to die?
Or perhaps... something even worse?
