Huo Chengshang was startled, he squinted his eyes, got up and followed her.

In the spacious room, other than a simple wooden bed, there was nothing else.

At this moment, a young girl was lying on the wooden bed.

The girl was sleeping very well with her eyes closed, but her forehead was wrinkled tightly. Her two fists were hanging by her sides, and she was constantly holding them tightly, as if she was protecting herself out of instinct.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky slowly darkened. The evening wind whistled as it blew from the only door in the room and landed on the young girl's body.

It was as if a pair of strange hands was caressing her.

Perhaps he was alarmed by the wind.

The young girl abruptly opened her eyes.

Like a fairy waking up from her sleep, she lightly flapped her long eyelashes and adapted herself to the sudden darkness.

But suddenly …

The young girl's face turned pale.

She wanted to prop herself up and sit up, but she just woke up. Her body's functions were gradually recovering, to the point that she was unable to sit up even after trying a few times.

Breathing rapidly, she looked at the tightly shut wooden door in panic.

This place was not a familiar place to her memories.

The last thing she remembered was New Street, the university city. She helped Gu Li buy a pregnancy test, then went to find her, finally, the last person to call her.

She remembered how anxious he sounded when he asked her where she was.

But then, she smelled something strange, and then she lost consciousness.

Blinking his eyes, Ye Xi's breathing got faster and faster.

The fear in his heart grew.

All the possibilities of her current situation flashed through her mind, giving her the creeps.

Furthermore, the sound of the wind outside also came to join in the fun. The sound of the wind blowing on her body gave her goosebumps.

Her eyes turned red. This was a situation she hadn't thought of in the past twenty years.

She was afraid.

But another voice inside told her.

This was not the time for her to be afraid.

He closed his eyes.

Ye Xi told himself over and over again, calm down, calm down.

Only after calming down would he be able to think of a solution!

Five minutes later.

Ye Xi felt that his hands and feet could move.

She hurried down from the board.

He rushed to the wooden door and stared at it for a while.

Then, he slowly reached out his trembling hand and gently twisted the door.

The result is... It turned!

Ye Xi was overjoyed.

He opened the door and was about to rush out.

But she had only taken a step forward.

Two fierce and black clothed men appeared out of nowhere and expressionlessly stopped Ye Xi.

Ye Xi stared at the two of their eyes.

In all her life, she had never seen such terrifying, vicious faces.

Their faces were filled with ravines and scars. One of them had a scar on the left side of his face that extended from the corner of his eye all the way to his neck. It was extremely shocking.

And when they looked at her, it was as if they wanted to tear her apart.

With his heart trembling, Ye Xi's legs went soft.

He subconsciously looked at the floor.

See their shadows.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn't some random stuff!

His body slowly leaned against the wall at the side of the door, and he looked at them fearfully. With a trembling voice, he asked, "You, who are you people? "Think, what do you want to do?"

"…" What answered her was a moment of silence for both of them.

They didn't go forward to capture Ye Xi and instead stood at a distance not too far away from Ye Xi, vigilantly staring at her like two evil spirits.

Ye Xi bit her lips. She felt that they were too scary, not saying a word!

They did not speak.

Ye Xi did not dare to ask anymore.

He obediently leaned against the wall.

Slowly, she stood up until her legs were weak, but they were still standing straight. Furthermore, the four eyes that were staring at Ye Xi did not move at all.

Ye Xi slid down the wall tentatively.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, he squatted down in relief, raised his small head, and looked at them pitifully with his two round eyes.

All right.

She actually wanted to act pitiful, because they would let her go. Although that was impossible, it still wouldn't hinder her.

Seeing Ye Xi looking at them like that, the corners of the two men's mouths twitched.

They all took two steps back, placed their hands on their stomachs, and then began to watch Ye Xi's process without moving an inch.

Such a strange environment, and these two terrifying men.

Ye Xi was so scared that he wanted to cry.

But she could not cry.

She knew better than anyone that tears were useful to someone who cared about her, like that person.

But for those who were confused, even if she cried out all the water in her body, it wouldn't make them pity her, or even let her go.

Thinking like this.

Ye Xi slowly lowered his head, he did not look at them, but instead buried his head between his knees.

When the two men in black saw her reaction, they looked at each other.

He maintained this posture and stayed silent for a while.

The sky turned completely dark.

Ye Xi grew more and more afraid. She raised her head and could only see the black shadows of two people. She knew that if they looked at her, she was definitely also a small black shadow.

At this moment.

An untimely "gulp" sound was heard.

From... Ye Xi's stomach.

She hadn't eaten since she left the house in the morning.

When he woke up, he was too scared to care.

Now that she heard her stomach growl, she knew it was time for her to eat.

"Gulp, gulp."

The two men heard it too, but didn't care.

Ye Xi lowered her eyes.

She raised her head and looked at the two with eyes full of pity. She didn't care if they could see or not, she believed that she had brought them with her.

He whispered, "About that, I haven't eaten for a whole day. I'm very hungry. Did you make me pass out and stay here without eating?"

"…" The two men were speechless!

Thinking of the message from the higher-ups: Except to stop her from running away, she is very well-received.

The two of them looked at each other.

One of them turned around and walked towards the corridor.

He watched as the man left and walked down the stairs. He heard the sound of the man coming down the stairs, and then he could no longer hear him.

Ye Xi's heart was thumping hard.

Two small fists clenched.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, wetting her clothes.

He took a deep breath.

Ye Xi turned to look at the remaining man.

Almost two minutes passed.

Ye Xi opened his mouth once again, his voice carrying the shyness of a girl, and said in a low voice, "About that, I, I want to go to the bathroom …"

Hearing her words, the man frowned impatiently.

But thinking about how long she had been kidnapped here, it was understandable for her to want to go to the bathroom.

Not to mention, her voice sounded a little stifled …

Thinking this way, the man finally said the first sentence, "I'll bring you there."

Obediently, Ye Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

They were glad it was dark and they couldn't see her expression, or she would have been exposed.
