Si Xiaohui calmed down for a moment, put her hand beneath Yu Shiya’s nose to check if she was breathing. When she confirmed that Shiya was still alive, she sighed with relief.
All she wanted was money, not to kill. Now that Shiya didn’t die, it was good. She took advantage of Shiya’s unconsciousness to cut up the bedsheets with scissors and tie Shiya up.
After thinking about it, she decided to go all out. She sent a ransom note to her milk tea shop as well. Yu Shiya and Tong Yao were not on the same level, so the amount she demanded this time was a bit smaller, only twenty thousand yuan.
When Yu Shiya woke up, Si Xiaohui hadn’t come back from outside yet. Seeing Tong Yue who was worriedly looking at her on the bedside, for some reason, Shiya felt a pang of guilt seeing the handprint on Tong Yue’s face.
In a short while, she gave a cold smile to herself. What was she feeling sorry for Tong Yue for?
The face that resembled Tong Yao, she should feel anger looking at it.
She must have been out of her mind to rush in to save Tong Yue before. She should have just turned around and left. If something happened to Tong Yue, Tong Yao would definitely be upset and that would’ve made her happy.
Although she thought so, not long after, she softened again and involuntarily looked at Tong Yue.
If her child were still alive, they would also be about the age of Tong Yue. She was carrying a daughter at that time, but unfortunately, the child didn’t get a chance to come into this world, and she probably wouldn’t get another chance in her lifetime either.
Realizing her thoughts were drifting away, Yu Shiya immediately stopped. She needed to think about how to escape. After observing her surroundings, she noticed the room was in a messy condition and there was a bad smell.
Si Xiaohui had tied her and Tong Yue up tightly, and even used a rope to tie them together like dogs. They had no chance of breaking free.
Their mouths were stuffed with something.
There was no chance of self-rescue, they could only wait for the rescue.
The shop assistant knew she had come to find Si Xiaohui. If they couldn’t contact her for a long time, they would definitely call the police.
Thinking about it, Yu Shiya relaxed a little. She looked at Tong Yue, turned her head to the side; the back of her head was still hurting. There was a blood stain on the ground which presumably was her blood.
They didn’t know how long they had been in the room. The sky was dark when Si Xiaohui suddenly came back with a shiny knife in her hand, carrying meat buns and roasted duck. She just sat there, starting to eat, while Tong Yue, who was hungry, kept staring at Si Xiaohui.
Seeing this, Yu Shiya struggled a bit. Si Xiaohui figured she wanted to say something, so she walked over, "I’ll remove the thing from your mouth, but don’t you dare shout or I’ll kill you right away."
Yu Shiya quickly nodded, and when Si Xiaohui removed the gag, her mouth was so sore. It took her a while to finally say, "You’ve had her tied up for a long time, haven’t you? She’s almost drooling watching you eat. Why don’t you give her some food? Do you want to starve her to death?"
Si Xiaohui looked at her suspiciously, "Didn’t you detest Tong Yao? Why are you so nice to her daughter? Are you planning some trick?"
Yu Shiya snapped back, "Both of us are tied up here. If she starves to death, wouldn’t I be stuck with a corpse?"
Semi-believing, Si Xiaohui stuffed Yu Shiya’s mouth again, and only after she finished eating did she removed the gag from Tong Yue’s mouth and feed her a meat bun.
After eating the meat bun, Tong Yue didn’t feel as hungry and tried to plead, "Auntie, can you bandage her head? She’s bleeding."
