Feng Wei’s expression twisted for a moment, but quickly turned disdainful. “What can you do with your current state? Do you really think I’m intimidated by a few words from you and wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you?”
Perhaps because of the pain in her abdomen or because she didn’t want to waste any energy on Feng Wei anymore, Mei Shu simply lowered her eyes and settled back on the ground.
Seeing her nonchalant demeanor infuriated Feng Wei. She grabbed Mei Shu by the collar, lifting her up with malice in her voice, “Are you still looking down on me? Do you think 1 won’t ruin you right now?”
Mei Shu calmly glanced at her, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Now I’m in your hands, aren’t I? If you want to ruin me, go ahead. But as you said, if my face loses its value, maybe you won’t get as much money.”
Indeed, a moment of hesitation flashed through Feng Wei’s eyes. She released Mei Shu, standing tall and looking down at her. “Just wait. Once 1 get the money, 1’11 make you taste what it’s like to lose everything.”
With a contemptuous snort, she left, slamming the door behind her.
Mei Shu lay back down, silently chuckling at the dark room.
She had seen clearly just now; they were indeed at sea. The daylight outside was fading, indicating she had been missing for at least a day and a night.
After lying for a while and confirming there were no more footsteps outside, Mei Shu retrieved the glass shard from her pocket and completely cut the ropes binding her hands and feet. She sat up against the wall, gasping for breath.
Still wearing the pajamas from before she passed out, her slippers were nowhere to be seen. In the vastness of the sea without boundaries, her body shivered from the cold.
!!..
Mei Shu gathered her strength after a while.
After concealing the cut ropes, she touched the wall of the room with her fingers, closed her eyes, and said, “System, activate Wall Penetration Spell.” [Alright, master, Wall Penetration Spell activated.]
The next moment, Mei Shu felt the wall in front of her instantly soften.
She took a step forward, effortlessly passing into the adjoining room.
It seemed to be a bedroom, small but fully equipped. There were even some cosmetics on the table, indicating it was Feng Wei’s room.
Judging from the layout, the ship wasn’t particularly large.
However, it was beyond Mei Shu’s expectations that Feng Wei could plan to this extent.
Since it was Feng Wei’s room, there might be her phone or other communication devices.
Mei Shu began to search.
She had just finished rummaging through the bedside table when she heard noises from the adjacent room.
Her eyes narrowed, pressing against the wall, ready to pass through the wall at any moment. But the next moment, Feng Wei in the other room suddenly exclaimed, followed by the heavy breathing of a man.
A few vulgar words reached Mei Shu’s ears, and her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, a hint of irony in her eyes.
It seemed Feng Wei wouldn’t be coming from the next room for a while.
That spared her the trouble of avoiding them.
But she wondered who the man with Feng Wei was.
As she pondered, she continued to search the room.
Unfortunately, Feng Wei had her phone with her, and there were no communication devices to contact the outside world.
The noises from the next room gradually subsided, soon replaced by the rustling sounds of the man and woman dressing.
Mei Shu grimaced disdainfully. The whole process took this man less than three minutes. She wondered what Feng Wei was after with this man?
The door opened outside.
Mei Shu had no choice but to use the Wall Penetration Spell again to return to the small storeroom where she was held. She hastily tied herself up with ropes, laying back in her previous position.
Sure enough, Feng Wei, perhaps not satisfied earlier, returned to trouble her even before fully worn.
“Seeing you in such a miserable state makes me feel satisfied! All, it’s late. It’s time for dinner. Don’t worry, I won’t let you starve until we achieve our goal.”
With that, Feng Wei pulled out a dilapidated bowl from behind her, containing spoiled food emitting a nauseating smell. In the light streaming through the door, one could see mold growing inside.
She slammed the bowl in front of Mei Shu and left triumphantly.
Feng Wei was sure that someone like Mei Shu wouldn’t easily accept starving to death.
She wanted to watch the once lofty Mei Shu suffer humiliation in front of her, stripped of all dignity.
If Mei Shu ate this inedible food, Feng Wei would be even more unrestrained in tormenting her in the future!
The door closed once again.
Mei Shu glanced at the bowl on the ground without a second thought. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to rest until the outside quieted down, and Feng Wei’s sharp voice couldn’t be heard anymore. Then, she slowly opened her eyes..
