Bai Xiao was speechless; her grandmother was truly beyond anyone’s expectations.
It was already dark when she returned to the courtyard.
She came back late because the old lady had delayed her with her meddling, and now night had fallen.
Entering the hallway, she discovered that the light on the first floor was out.
She silently cursed her bad luck, though the light in the hallway often malfunctioned due to years of disrepair.
It seemed that tomorrow she’d have to notify the security guard at the entrance to come replace it when they had the time.
Just as she entered the hallway, a pain in the back of her head, then darkness, and she fainted.
......
When she came to, Bai Xiao felt as if the back of her head was splitting open. It was clear that she had been clubbed by some bastard; it was no robbery, it was either abduction or assault.
Without opening her eyes, she had already circulated her special ability within her body to do a check. Apart from being hit in the back of the head, she had been drugged with a sleeping pill.
They were seriously afraid of her waking up.
It was clear their intent was not robbery.
Could she still be here if it was a robbery?
Assault?!
Hmph, that pervert dared to attempt to assault her, it seemed she had been too kind lately, too kind-hearted, and even she had forgotten her own ruthless nature.
It was a good opportunity to practice on these guys; she didn’t believe anyone could keep her captive.
Her body was unharmed, and then she opened her eyes, only to find her arms and legs tied securely, surrounded by pitch darkness.
Her mouth had been gagged as well.
Bai Xiao struggled forcefully for a moment; they had tied her up pretty firmly.
She couldn’t move, but she could feel that she was tied to a chair, her hands and feet bound tightly.
As she moved her body, it caused the chair to scrape against the floor with a creaking noise.
It was jarring and very frightening.
Even she was startled by the sound.
When people are in danger, their adrenaline levels surge and they become extremely anxious, any little noise can startle them.
That was her current state.
"Don’t move, girl, don’t you dare move. The bad guys have gone to buy food, there’s only one person watching over here, and he’s gone to the bathroom. If he discovers you’re awake, it won’t end well, don’t be scared, I’m trying to find a way out... ow... don’t be afraid!" an elderly voice spoke from behind Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao’s body instantly tensed, she dared not move.
Could this person be a ghost?
How had she not noticed there was someone behind her? From the sound of it, the person was also a captive.
This had to be a joke, it was obviously an old man’s voice.
What were these bastards thinking, it was one thing to kidnap her, but why capture an old man as well?
She had thought the perpetrator intended to assault her, but looking at the situation now, it was a group of people, completely beyond her expectations.
Could this be a kidnapping?
Was Doctor Bai that valuable?
There was still movement behind her; she couldn’t tell what the old man was doing.
She heard rustling sounds; this old gentleman truly was a good person.
Busy trying to free himself while also comforting her.
"Don’t worry, girl, don’t be scared, and for heaven’s sake, don’t make a sound. I’m sure I can get us both out of this, we can’t let those bad guys win."
It turned out only the two of them were bound.
Before the old man could attempt his escape, the sound of an iron door being violently kicked open echoed through the place.
Heavy footsteps entered.
Bai Xiao could tell it was a single person.
Then a gust of wind blew through their space, and the sound of a wooden door opening followed, the door was opened.
