In an underground black room of a gambling city in Country T.
The woman curled up in the corner, wearing tattered clothes, pricked up her ears listening to the noise outside. When she heard footsteps outside, her whole body started trembling uncontinarily.
Chi Ya could hardly imagine the days she had endured since she was captured by unknown people at the hotel and confined here.
That very day, two drunkards broke in, torturing her to the point of preferring death.
These several days, she hadnât had a single sip of water or a grain of rice. Under the double torment of mental and physical suffering, she was on the verge of collapse.
Now, whenever she heard footsteps, her body trembled uncontrollably.
âClickââ, the door of the pitch-dark room opened.
Bright light from the doorway shone in, and having not seen light for two days, her eyes, suddenly exposed to such bright light, instinctively shielded with her hands. Her mouth involuntarily screamed, âDonât⦠donât come over⦠donât⦠pleaseâ¦â
âI donât want to dieâ¦â
âI donât want to dieâ¦â
âDonât want to die, yet you recklessly court death?!â The man who came in scoffed as if he heard something funny.
Chi Yaâs body shook even more! She had no idea who the person was, why he captured her, why he confined her here.
After her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, she removed her hands and with eyes full of terror, she looked at the man in front. Suddenly, she crawled up from the ground, knee-walked to the manâs feet, and in a desperate attempt clung to his thighs, frantically pleading, âPlease, please have mercy, please let me go.â
âI dare not release you.â For a woman who offended Master Jue, even ten times his courage would not suffice to let her go!
Chi Ya still didnât realize she had been captured by Li Beijue, and still harbored a hope that she was targeted because she was alone overseas. Or perhaps, she was noticed by underground forces when she went to sell a child.
Her lips trembling, she looked up pleadingly, âPlease, let me go. I can give you whatever you want.â
âWhat we want, you cannot afford!â Master Jue wanted this woman to taste the consequences; could she afford it?
Chi Ya misunderstood immediately, saying, âI can afford it! I can afford it! I have money! No, my parents have money! My father is very rich! Help me make a phone call, my dad will give you whatever amount. Please let me go, I beg you.â
âIf you let me go, I will surely repay you! Please, Iâm begging youâ¦â
She knew that underground organizations overseas liked to target lone women, and once fallen into these peopleâs hands, one might end up killed for organs.
She did not want to die, she was so young, she didnât want to die!
The trembling of Chi Yaâs body intensified, her eyes flickered, gripping the manâs trouser leg tightly, âPlease, let me go.â
Just as she was overwhelmed with fear and speaking incoherently, the man whose thighs she had been holding suddenly agreed, âAlright.â
He was indeed planning to take her out.
Without taking her out, how could he complete the task Master Jue assigned?
His âalright,â falling into Chi Yaâs ears, sounded like heavenly music. She hardly believed her own ears, afraid she had heard wrong, âReally?â
