"Cry and beg me, or perhaps I might take pity on your pretty face and make it a bit more comfortable for you," Xiao Yuwen said with a grin, proudly looking at Chuxia.
Tied up and thrown onto the back seat, Chuxia, after her initial panic, had mostly calmed down.
This morning, after Zhou Mikang had taken her to the hospital and it wasn’t yet time to start work, she had planned to go to the dormitory to give sweets to her sisters. On the way, Rao Xue forcefully stopped her.
"Lin Chuxia, you’re truly despicable," were the first words out of Rao Xue’s mouth.
"You’re sick in the head," she responded to her.
"You say you have no feelings for Commander Zhou, yet you seduce him, marrying him – do you have any shame at all?" Rao Xue’s entire facial lines were twisted as she spoke.
Chuxia tried to walk past her, not wanting to waste words with her. Unexpectedly, the other party raised her hand and covered Chuxia’s mouth. While trying to dodge, she was suddenly strangled from behind, and a wet cloth swiftly covered her mouth.
When she came to again, it was in a bumpy car with Xiao Yuwen sitting beside her and Xiao Bingqi in front.
She was familiar with the physical condition of this father and son, so for now, she wasn’t afraid of that sort of danger. The fact that there were no other men in the car was her only relief.
Regarding the fate of this father and son, she had once asked Zhou Mikang. The answer was that they were already under control. But now, how could they suddenly appear here? And how could they team up with Rao Xue to tie her up?
Given the current state of this father and son, she wasn’t sure if they kidnapped her to use her as a bargaining chip or for revenge. If it was the former, she could be somewhat relieved. If it was the latter... anything was possible.
She slowly straightened up, quietly picking at her restraints behind her, hoping to find something that could serve as a clue...
"Not scared?" Xiao Yuwen, who hadn’t received a response from Chuxia, was clearly becoming impatient. He slapped her across the face, "If you don’t speak, I’ll ruin your looks!"
When had she ever been so humiliated? Why was she brought to this damned era? Thinking of the things she might have to face, Chuxia could no longer control her emotions, and tears rolled down like beads off a broken string...
This actually caused Xiao Yuwen’s anger to subside a bit: "So you can cry after all. I thought you were like Zhou Mikang, a stubborn die-hard. Call me ’big brother’, say you like me and not Zhou Mikang, and I won’t hit you anymore."
Touching the peach pit bracelet on her wrist, Chuxia’s emotions stabilized slightly, and she sniffed: "Why did brother-in-law kidnap me?"
"I’m no longer your brother-in-law," Xiao Yuwen snorted coldly, "Do as I say or else, I’ll make sure your face is absolutely symmetrical," he said, raising his hand.
Even though a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, to say such things to this disgusting person was impossible! Damn it, she had already been reborn once. If she was going to die, so be it. She might even be reborn back there!
With that thought, Chuxia abruptly sat up, her neck stiffened: "Go on and hit me if you have the guts. I never intended to leave here alive anyway. Do it, killing me would be a relief – I wouldn’t have to see your swine face again!"
"You damn woman!" Xiao Yuwen grabbed Chuxia’s hair and was about to slap her face when Xiao Bingqi, who had been silent, quickly intervened: "Stop it!"
"Dad, what do you mean?" Xiao Yuwen looked dissatisfied. At present, he had no ounce of tenderness or pity for Chuxia – perhaps because of his injury in that area, he no longer felt tenderness or pity for any woman. What he had was only a strong desire for revenge.
"Once we’re out of the city, you can deal with her however you want," Xiao Bingqi said as he nodded his chin towards the outside of the car.
Glancing outside at the passersby who occasionally peered into the car, Xiao Yuwen reluctantly stopped his hand.
Chuxia put two and two together and realized that the car Xiao Bingqi and his son had acquired seemed to have some issues. By her estimation, the speed was probably around twenty miles an hour. In an era with few vehicles, traveling at this speed on the road would easily attract attention...
Her window was covered with a curtain. If she quietly lifted it and shouted... the thought only flickered before she dismissed it. If it didn’t bring someone to rescue her and instead angered the beast beside her, she’d be the one to suffer.
While she had thought that, if she were to die, she might be reborn again, what if she didn’t return? So, if she could stay alive, she should try her best to do so. For her, the most important thing now was to ensure her own safety, not thinking about being reborn after death.
