Chapter 949: Chapter 949: [Extra] She Saw Her Light
Sheng Ning’an had never felt ti drag on for so long before.
Every minute, every second in the darkness, seed to stretch infinitely.
The people who had tied her up were professionals, coordinated, clearly practiced at this sort of thing.
She had no idea what they wanted by bringing her here.
Sheng Ning’an thought the most likely reason was to use her kidnapping for ransom, but if so, shouldn’t they have posted soone to keep a close eye on her?
The current situation did not seem to suggest they were worried about her escaping at all.
But regardless of their true intentions, she could not just sit idly by.
In the darkness, she couldn’t find a suitable tool to untie the ropes, so she leaned against the corner wall, using friction to slowly cut through them inch by inch.
However, the ropes were stronger than she had anticipated; she had no idea how long she’d been at it. Her wrists felt raw, the skin chafed through, and blood was oozing.
Yet the pain only served to make her mind clearer in the dark.
It even drove away the fear.
Finally, as the ropes snapped under continued friction, Sheng Ning’an felt a surge of relief and hastily set to work on untying her feet.
She was only halfway through when she heard footsteps approaching from outside.
Without hesitation, she quickly hid behind the door.
The mont the door was pushed open from the outside, light spilled in.
And then she saw a familiar figure rush in from the shadows.
Gone was the usual calm deanor.
Yet, in Sheng Ning’an’s eyes, he was like a god descending.
Confronting the unknown is when people feel the most fear, especially when faced with an unknown environnt, an unknown fate. Even soone as bold as Sheng Ning’an would instinctively feel uneasy being trapped in darkness.
However, she believed Xu Weiran would definitely co for her, so she remained calm despite the darkness.
And then, he really ca.
The tension in Sheng Ning’an’s heart finally subsided completely.
Several police officers holding powerful flashlights ca in with him, illuminating the empty area.
Xu Weiran felt a chill wash over him.
Based on the police investigation, the most likely place they had brought the person was here.
But there was no one.
She wasn’t there.
His heart, brimming with anticipation, suddenly felt like it had plunged into an ice-cold abyss.
He was enveloped by darkness and cold.
“Xu Weiran.”
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind him.
Xu Weiran froze, quickly turning around.
His eyes hadn’t yet adjusted to the darkness, but he could pinpoint her location through her voice.
Especially when the light finally lit up Sheng Ning’an, and he saw her standing there unhard, Xu Weiran felt as if he had been resurrected from the brink of death.
From hell to heaven, it was rely a second.
“Are you alright?” Xu Weiran quickly walked up, scooping her into his arms.
Sheng Ning’an shook her head, “I’m okay. They disappeared after bringing here; they didn’t do anything to .”
Xu Weiran held her tightly, like a drowning man clinging to a lifeline.
The emotion of losing and regaining flooded over him like a tidal wave, fierce and overwhelming.
Sheng Ning’an thought she saw the light, but she didn’t realize he did too.
At this mont, they were each other’s salvation.
“Let’s talk outside,” one of the police officers who had co in with Xu Weiran reminded them.
Seeing her calm expression, indeed showing no signs of harm, Xu Weiran loosened his grip, reaching to hold her wrist, accidentally touching her bruised wound.
Sheng Ning’an instinctively drew in a sharp breath.
