Somewhere far away from G.City.
The door suddenly opened and two men untied Xiao li and dragged her out of the room. Xiao li didn't struggle as she knew that it was worthless doing so.
She decided to act calm to know what these people are going to do to her.
She was pushed into the backseat of a black van and when she struggled to sit up, the car had started moving at a rapid speed.
As the car travelled, the surroundings were becoming darker. There was no way for her to know how much time had passed. Every passing minute and second felt like years to her.
Due to the stuffy air in the backseat, Xiao li gradually became dizzy and closed her eyes.
No matter what the leader of the gang goals were, she needed to preserve her energy so she could deal with it.
She did not know how much time had passed before she finally heard the door being opened. Xiao li sensed it and quickly opened her eyes.
Due to the blindfold covering her eyes, she was unable to see. However, she could sense the movement of two men walking towards her. She was abruptly hauled out of the car.
They used the same movement; forcing her to bend down while covering her mouth. This time, Xiao li was less resistant. She only released a soft whimper and was quickly brought in into the villa.
Their actions were swift as they pushed her into a room.
Xiao li stumbled and feel onto the ground in the room. Her elbow knocked painfully against the floor. She stubbornly braced herself against the floor to sit up, raising her hand to pull down the blindfold.
"Our boss would soon come. You should behave" the voices of the two men came from the door, followed by the sound of footsteps fading away.
Xiao li rushed to move up and threw herself against the door. However, it was already locked from the outside. Before her eyes was a top grade door made out of superior wood. Without any solid tools, it would be impossible to open.
Xiao li's hand paused on the door; she turned her head back to scan the pitch- black room. Although, she could not see clearly, when she fell earlier, she had felt that the floor was of a good texture. This room did not seem like a place one would typically use for kidnapping; it was extremely high class.
She felt the switch for the room lights, she pressed against it.
The room abruptly lit up. The light was not blinding, but it was a soft, illumination that allowed one to see the room clearly. The sight before her eyes was of an extremely lavish guest room. It had all the living necessities and toiletries and there was also a large bed in the middle of the room.
Although, it seemed very elegant and refined, from the way it was set up, this place was clearly just a guest room.
Right across the room, there was a window behind the curtains. Xiao li quickly walked over. She tugged aside the curtains only to see the sky had already turned dark. It was very likely that the time was between 7:00pm to 8:00pm.
The window was no ceiling to floor, but a rather simple rectangular window. The room seemed to be on the third story of a villa. It was not exceptionally high, but that windows were made of good material and could not be smashed open. The only small section that could be opened was locked.
Earlier on, she had thought the instigator had been careless and left her a chance to escape. However now, she knew that was impossible - the small hope she had had been extinguished.
Xiao li stood by the windows looking out. She stared at the large pool behind the villa as well as the blooming flowers in the garden.
She could hardly see anybody outside.
She wondered if any one was living in this Villa. The window faced the back of the villa, which had no path nor any passing vehicles or people. Even if the room were lit, it would be useless no matter how hard she tries to call for help from the windows.
She remembered how she ran away from Jingyi Wang the other day. If she were to try it here, it would be so impossible as there was no way for her to escape.
Jingyi Wang had left his guard down that day because he wasn't expecting her to jump through the window.
However, it was different here as there was no way to escape whatsoever.
Even though, there was no one around, Xiao li still felt that people are watching her.
She paced back and forth in the room. Her gaze occasionally shifted to the darkened sky outside.
After a while of pacing around, Xiao li sat by the window and hugged her knees to her chest. Her eyes remained fixed on the darkened sky outside.
Locked in here, it felt like time had been frozen.
It was only when she heard the sound of a car approaching that she quickly stood up. She turned and ran towards the door, pressing her ear against it.
This was the third floor, making it difficult for her to hear the movement from the first floor. Still, she could still hear the echo of a door clicking open. Following it was the sound of footsteps gradually approaching as though moving up from the first floor.
Xiao li raised her head and hit against the door twice to inform whoever had come that she was locked in here.
"You still have the strength to hit against the door. Do you think that the person who came was Jingyi Wang?" a slightly unfamiliar voice rang from behind the door.
The low and heavy voice seemed to belong to a young man. His time was ice-cold and even carried some disdain.
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao li's hand immediately stiffened against the door. Just as she was about to speak up, she heard the clicking sound of that door. With her eyes widely opened, she took a step backward slowly.
The door pushed open and a gush of cold wind flowed in with a high speed, seeping through Xiao li's skin and hitting her bone directly, making her tremble.
Hugging her arms, she rubbed her palm against her skin. When she raised her head, a young man walked in. The man's face expression was frightening cold and distance.
With every step he took towards Xiao li, she felt nervous and took a step backwards.
The man's gaze was focused on her face, his eyes were heavy, carrying a pressure that made one shiver.
Xiao li took another step backwards.
At that moment, she mistook a step, slipped and fell on the bed. She quickly sat up straight and looked at the man with a cold eyes.
Although, the man looked terrifying and dangerous, she could not help, but eye him coldly.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
If this man was their leader, he didn't look like a notorious kidnapper or someone who was looking for money.. Instead, he looked wealthy and powerful- he was different.
