"...You won’t die a good death!" Chu Xi clenched her fists, unable to stop shaking from anger or fear.
The other person didn’t care about her curse at all and said with a sinister smile, "Oh right, let tell you so unfortunate news."
Chu Xi’s mind was a complete ss, not in the mood to listen to him speak at all.
The man on the other end of the line ignored her current mood and said with a laugh, "You’re very unlucky. I originally planned to help you hand her over to the rcenaries, but who would have thought she escaped. Rong Yan was rescued by soone. And it’s soone you wouldn’t expect."
Chu Xi felt like she was struck by lightning on a clear day, once again drawn to him, "Who? Who saved her, didn’t you promise you would help get rid of her!"
"Chu Aotian!"
The other person retorted indifferently to her accusations, "I promised and I also paid to hire the rcenaries, but your luck was just too bad, allowing Rong Yan to escape and run into Chu Aotian. Who dares to snatch people from the head of the Chu Family... that group of hired people has already given up and is preparing to retreat, which ans as long as Chu Aotian is willing to help, Rong Yan will soon return. Of course, you could also pray she becos your stepmother."
"If by chance Chu Aotian takes a liking to her, then you’d have another mother to love you. If she becos your stepmother, you’d even have the chance to cozy up with Li Shengxiao again. Wouldn’t that be the only good news?"
Chu Xi trembled all over, biting her tongue hard, squeezing out a single word, "Get lost!"
She had been fooled!
Played around by these people!
They were simply toying with her!
"Good luck." The other party hung up the phone with glee.
Chu Xi’s throat was so enraged it was smoking, her eyes were bulging, and she flung her hand fiercely, nearly smashing the phone against the wall.
But the only thing she had with her that could give even a glimpse of the outside situation was this phone. If it broke, she would have nothing to know about the outside world, trapped like a blind person in this rundown hotel.
She bit her tongue, forced herself to pull back her hand, and sat down on the bed in despair, covering her face with tears of hopelessness streaming down.
She’s finished...
Completely finished this ti...
...
The moon over the sea was large and round, hanging at the edge of the sky, a sky full of stars scattered like a chessboard, with occasional sightings of the Milky Way and teor showers.
The guests on the deck all ca out to play, a scene of joy.
In an unknown corner of the cargo hold, a group gathered, silently smoking hookah, one big guy mumbling complaints, "I told you broads are troubleso, if you had listened to and kept the chick in a box, there wouldn’t be so much trouble. But you insisted the chick had a fever and needed to be moved. Now look, the little chick escaped."
ixi unhappily stomped out her cigarette and started arguing with him, "You an to bla ? Like I’d know she would slip away right under your noses. If we have to bla soone, it’s you guys for not being competent enough to watch over her!"
The husky man with bulging muscles also stood up angrily, arguing with ixi, "What do you an bla us for incompetence? We were called to help, only the boss and Rabbit were left, and you bla us?"
"The little chick had a low fever and was out cold. I was afraid she’d die on our hands, so I suggested locking her in a room, what was wrong with that? And you still bla ."
They went back and forth, each thinking it was the other’s fault for Rong Yan’s escape.
Just then, a dull voice ca from behind them, "Stop arguing, we have to retreat."
