Xiao Xiao coughed violently as her chest was pressed against the airbag.
Huang De Han wasn't doing much better. His head was throbbing as if it were about to explode. It took him a while to recover.
He shook his dizzy head and, enduring the intense pain, opened the center console between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. He took out a rope that he had prepared in advance and tied Xiao Xiao with it.
Xiao Xiao struggled hard, but she was injured and weaker than Huang De Han. In the end, he managed to securely bind her.
"Huang De Han, what do you think you're doing? Let me go!"
Xiao Xiao had given up struggling and slumped in the passenger seat, weakly pleading.
"Hmph!" Huang De Han sneered and accidentally touched his wound on the face. The pain made him inhale sharply, and he grimaced. "Do you think you can deceive me into gambling?"
A flicker of panic flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said in an incredulous tone, "Why would you think that? Huang De Han, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"Pah!" Huang De Han spat blood in Xiao Xiao's direction, hatred evident in his voice. "Misunderstanding? You fucking have a dirty disease, and you deliberately infected me!"
"I... I didn't!"
Xiao Xiao's eyes avoided his gaze, and she denied it weakly.
"Still denying, huh?" Huang De Han roughly grabbed Xiao Xiao's chin, forcing her to look at him. A mocking smile played on his lips. "Tell me, how much money did Li Man spend on you? How obedient were you to her?"
Xiao Xiao's face was distorted by Huang De Han's grip, and she stammered, unable to speak.
Huang De Han used his other hand to forcefully slap Xiao Xiao's face. "I hate being lied to. So, tell me, how should I punish you to vent my anger?"
A tinge of fear flickered in Xiao Xiao's eyes. She shook her head vigorously, her mouth deformed by the grip, and mumbled, "I... I'm sorry... I didn't... mean to... deceive you..."
"Not intentional? Then it must have been intentional, right?"
Huang De Han's eyes gleamed with ferocity. Suddenly, he fiercely slapped Xiao Xiao's face again, followed by grabbing her neck tightly with both hands.
"Cough... cough!" Xiao Xiao struggled to breathe as she was choked, her face turning red. "Please... let me go... I'm sorry... I apologize..."
"Apologize? Is that all it takes for you after what you've done to me? Don't be so naive!" Huang De Han's eyes turned bloodshot as he tightened his grip.
The air grew thinner, and the suffocating difficulty in breathing filled Xiao Xiao with unprecedented fear. Her breath became increasingly labored, and her vision gradually blurred.
Death was so close, leaving her feeling terrified and powerless.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, Huang De Han suddenly released his grip.
Her neck received some relief, and Xiao Xiao took in deep breaths of fresh air.

She looked at Huang De Han, fear filling her eyes, and trembled as she spoke, "I'm sorry, please, let me go. I'll give you money, how much do you want? I... I'll give you everything, please, just let me go, okay?"
"Hahaha..." Huang De Han's face twisted into a sinister expression, and he suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. He forcefully tore open Xiao Xiao's collar, revealing her pale chest.
"I don't want money, I want you!"
With that, Huang De Han reclined the passenger seat and pounced on her.
