  The servant hurriedly followed her in, only to hear a crisp sound.

  The servant hurried into the kitchen. “Miss, what’s wrong?”


  Xiao Ying was squatting on the floor, picking up the broken pieces of the bowl. She looked at the servant apologetically. “I’m sorry, I seem to have brought you more trouble.”


  The servant waved her hand. “No, no.” The servant walked forward and said fearfully, “Miss, I’ll tidy up the kitchen. Go back to your room!”


  Xiao Ying did not make things difficult for the servant. After apologizing again, she walked out of the kitchen.

  After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Ying saw the effeminate man sitting on the sofa, watching the news. The television was showing a scene of the Jiang family’s plane being hijacked and exploding. The rescue team had gone to the sea for a search and rescue.

  The man said coldly, “At that time, you were on the Jiang family’s private plane. I got someone to take you to another plane. The Jiang family’s plane exploded but there was only one pilot inside.”


  The man did not turn back, but he seemed to have grown eyes on the back of his head and had seen Xiao Ying coming out of the dining hall. “Do you think Long Ming will think that you’re dead?”


  Xiao Ying’s heart tightened.

  But soon, she returned to normal.

  Long Ming would definitely not think that she was dead. The Young Master had sent people to bring her out of the Duke’s. Why would he take her away only to let her die so easily?

  If she could think of it, Long Ming would definitely think of it too.

  Seeing that Xiao Ying did not respond, the man did not say anything. He placed his laptop on his lap and started to look at stocks.

  Xiao Ying did not go upstairs immediately. She went to the French windows and looked outside for a while.

  From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the man from time to time.

  After more than ten minutes, Xiao Ying acted like she was tired and stretched. “I’m going back to my room.”


  The man was focused on the computer screen, as if he did not hear Xiao Ying’s words.

  Xiao Ying turned around and walked toward the stairs. She was standing by the French windows. To go upstairs, she would have to pass by the sofa.

  Xiao Ying was walking neither too fast nor too slow. When she passed by the man, she suddenly took a few big steps and walked behind the man. She grabbed his neck with one hand and pressed the broken porcelain piece she had been hiding against the man’s artery with the other.

  She looked down at the man, her eyes cold. “Don’t move. If not, I’ll cut open your aorta.”


  When the bodyguards hiding in the corner saw this, it was too late to stop Xiao Ying. They could only surround her.

  Xiao Ying was used to such situations and there was no fear on her face.

  At this time, it was a competition of their mentality.

  The Young Master, who was being threatened by Xiao Ying, sat on the sofa without moving. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

  He seemed to be laughing at Xiao Ying’s boldness, but also seemed to be laughing at something else. Xiao Ying was not in the mood to figure out his thoughts. She glared at him coldly. “Give me your phone.”


  “There’s no signal here. You can’t call anyone even if I give you my phone.”


  Xiao Ying tightened her hold on the shard. There was a cut on his main artery and blood gushed out. Xiao Ying said coldly, “It’s fine if there’s no signal. Let me go. If not, I’ll take your life now!”


  The Young Master laughed, as though he had heard a joke. “Do you think you can walk out of here after taking my life?”


  “At most, we’ll die together!”


  The Young Master smirked, his smile unreadable.

  “It seems like you’re not afraid of death.” Xiao Ying said coldly.

  “If I have you as my companion, I think it’s worth dying for. However…” The Young Master dragged out his words, not finishing them, creating a sense of anxiety.” If you die, you won’t be able to see your cute daughter. ”


  Wan Bao!

  At the thought of Wan Bao, Xiao Ying felt like a cat was scratching her heart. In the past, she would still send her videos every night even when she went overseas for work.

  It had been a few days since she had seen Wan Bao.

  “Mommy!”


  At this moment, a childish and soft voice sounded.

  Xiao Ying was stunned. Wan Bao was here?

  Could it be that the Young Master had also brought Wan Bao here?

  The moment Xiao Ying was distracted, someone grabbed her hand that was holding the shard. That person exerted strength and the shard fell to the ground.

  By the time Xiao Ying wanted to retract her hand, it was already too late.

  She had lost the best opportunity.

  And that ‘Wan Bao’ just now was not really ‘Wan Bao’. It was simply the Young Master pressing on his phone and playing a recording.

  “There are quite a few videos of Tang En and your daughter being together in his phone.” The man stood up from the sofa and looked at the woman being subdued by the bodyguards. His eyes gradually turned cold. “You dare to hit me? It seems like I was too kind to you!”


  “Take her to the dungeon.”


  Several bodyguards pulled Xiao Ying up from the ground. She struggled, but there were too many bodyguards and she was not their match.

  Before she was brought out of the villa, her eyes were covered by a black cloth.

  She was led to walk for a distance before she entered a door and then went downstairs. The stairs were very long and they seemed to have no end.

  After walking for about ten minutes, she was pushed into a dark and wet place by the bodyguards.

  Soon, the metal door was closed.

  Xiao Ying’s hands and feet were not tied. After the bodyguards left, she took off the blindfold covering her eyes.

  The dungeon was rather dark and there was a rotten and bloody stench around.

  Xiao Ying suppressed the discomfort in her stomach and stood up, looking around.

  When she saw a hunched figure lying opposite the dungeon, she was stunned.

  She was not the only one locked in the dungeon.

  Xiao Ying was not in the mood to greet anyone. She found a relatively dry place to sit down.

  Recalling the banquet at the Duke’s and then being thrown into the dungeon, she felt that had been a lifetime ago.

  The dungeon was rather quiet. Xiao Ying buried her face in her knees, planning to empty her thoughts and rest for a while.

  She did not know when she fell asleep, but in her daze, she heard a painful sound in the quiet air.

  Xiao Ying opened her eyes immediately.

  Standing up from the ground, she walked to the metal door and looked ahead.

  She saw the figure curled up on the ground opposite her trembling nonstop as if he was having a seizure. A painful sound came from his throat.

  That voice was extremely broken and hoarse, making one’s hair stand on end.

  Seeing the man’s miserable expression, Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows. She had seen how Young Master dealt with people before. Even Senior Tang En had been forced to take sleeping pills by him. It was clear how cruel he was!

  The man rolled on the ground in pain, as if he could not speak and could only make broken sounds. It continued for two to three hours before he slowly calmed down.

  Seeing that he was lying motionless on the ground, Xiao Ying called out to him, “Hey, are you okay?”


  There was no answer.

  He might have fainted!

  …
