Every part of the ship was equipped with telephones, and Qiao Xu had already seen several of them during her day here.
However, because this place was Bai Yu’s private domain, and because of her previous experience, Qiao Xu didn’t hold much hope for these telephones.
It was apparent that Bai Yu could let her touch these phones easily because he believed that she had no way of making calls out.
Therefore, from the beginning, Qiao Xu had treated these telephones as re decorations.
Perhaps, just like before, as soon as she picked up the phone to dial out, the person answering the phone would be Bai Yu again.
She did not want to see him toy with her at all.
At this mont, the night had deepened, and after experiencing the thin line between life and death previously, Qiao Xu was feeling sleepy.
She unknowingly fell asleep while lying in bed.
The next morning, her room door was knocked on.
Qiao Xu thought it was Bai Yu and didn’t open the door.
It wasn’t until a female attendant’s voice ca from outside, saying that she was here to bring her breakfast, did she relent.
Having already been confined, Qiao Xu naturally wouldn’t mistreat her body a bit.
After washing up, she let the female attendant in with the al cart.
On the al cart, apart from a delicate breakfast that catered to her taste, there was also a note left by Bai Yu -
[Xuxu, I’m gone. Enjoy your al.]
He’s gone? What does that an?
Qiao Xu’s expression changed, raising her eyes to look at the attendant and asked, "Where’s Bai Yu?"
"Mr. Bai has already left."
"Left?"
Qiao Xu felt as if she was suffocating, "He left Antarctica?"
Upon receiving confirmation from the attendant, Qiao Xu’s face turned pitch black.
He brought her to Antarctica and left her here without a word?
"Did he say anything else?"
"Mr. Bai said that after breakfast, you can go for a walk around the surrounding islands and enjoy the scenery."
Hearing this, Qiao Xu couldn’t help but scoff.
She then asked, "Will his people follow ?"
"If you need them to."
The female attendant answered very respectfully.
This made Qiao Xu sowhat surprised.
She assud that Bai Yu would still restrict her freedom even if he left, and with all the people on the ship watching her, she wouldn’t even have a chance to seek help at the Antarctic Scientific Research Station.
But this ti, with the attendant’s words, it was evident that the power was in her hands, which made her sowhat incredulous.
"You an I can walk around by myself?"
"Yes."
Although Qiao Xu felt that Bai Yu was still using other tactics, she couldn’t help but show a faint glimr of hope at this mont.
She unobtrusively sat at the room’s dining table for her al. After the al was served, the attendant left without any intention of watching her.
Her gaze moved towards the telephone on the bedside table, and Qiao Xu’s thoughts flickered slightly.
If the attendant was telling the truth and Bai Yu hadn’t ordered her freedom to be restricted, she could ask for help at the research station or even make a direct phone call out...
At this thought, Qiao Xu’s hand holding the cutlery tensed up slightly, and she felt a tinge of nervousness.
She didn’t go over imdiately, feeling that the situation was too smooth and sowhat strange.
Yet, deep down, she couldn’t help but hope that Bai Yu really intended to let her go.
On the other hand, she worried that she might be overthinking things, which would only lead to greater disappointnt.
Therefore, it wasn’t until after she had finished her breakfast that Qiao Xu finally decided to walk over to the bedside table and pick up the phone...
Lu’s -
"Can’t find it?"
Hearing the investigation results given by Jiang Hao, Lu Moqing’s face instantly darkened.
