Chapter 704: Missing
Guan Tang lay on the couch and rested for a while. She was in a really good mood. Although she was sleepy, she rose to her feet and made her way to the secret room. She needed someone to share her joy with. After all, Jiahui was an excellent listener. She grew more and more reluctant to kill Jiahui. Moreover, it was not easy to get rid of a corpse, and she wanted Jiahui to watch as she captured Cheng Che’s heart.
She had already written the script in her mind. She wanted Jiahui to watch in the secret room while Cheng Che kissed her in the living room. She wanted Jiahui to watch as the man she loved betrayed her and admit that Cheng Che was hers.
Guan Tang felt giddy when she thought about Jiahui’s heartbreak. She could not wait to watch Jiahui drown in despair and sorrow. When Jiahui was completely broken, she would turn Jiahui into her plaything.
The more Guan Tang thought about this, the happier she became. She grew even more eager to see Jiahui.
Guan Tang yawned as she opened the door to the secret room. The next second, she stood frozen by the door, petrified. There was no one in the secret room.
‘Where’s Jiahui?’
The secret room was neat and tidy. There was no trace of anyone being imprisoned when Jiahui had been in here for a week.
Guan Tang instinctively rubbed her eyes. Alas, the room was still neat and empty.
Her heart began to thump violently in her chest, and she found it difficult to breathe. She used all her strength to call out,”Jiahui…”
Every time she came into the room, Jiahui would sit in front of the table and eat.
Jiahui was eating with relish. She bought a lot of snacks for Jiahui, and Jiahui did not refuse them. Jiahui did not seem to have any self-discipline as a doctor. Even when she was too lazy to cook and only gave Jiahui instant noodles, Jiahui would still eat them with relish. Jiahui ate so well that sometimes it aroused her appetite as well.
She would always sit on the chair nearest to the door as she chatted with Jiahui. She was very cautious and did not get too close to Jiahui.
She thought that when the time was right, she would poison Jiahui. After all, Jiahui did not put up her guard at all and ate everything that was given to her. Hence, she thought it would not be difficult for her to poison Jiahui.
However, where was Jiahui now?
Guan Tang caught her breath and quickly left the secret room.
‘Someone discovered this place and saved Jiahui! Someone knows my secret! What to do? What to do? Are the police coming? I’ve committed a crime; I’m going to jail! How will I live in jail? Will the Yin family save me? No, they won’t. They’d be embarrassed and won’t associate with a criminal! Will the Guan family save me? Impossible! The Guan family will only treat me as though I’m dead. What should I do? What should I do?’
Thoughts raced through Guan Tang’s mind as fear and unease overwhelmed her. She pressed her hand against her chest, finding it difficult to breathe. Her legs weakened, and she tripped, falling to the ground. The sudden pain jolted her back to her senses. She rose to her feet with great difficulty as she swept her eyes across the room carefully. She could not help but shiver. Her instincts were right: someone had indeed entered her house when she was away. Without anyone noticing, the person had taken Jiahui away.
‘Who was it?’
Guan Tang took a deep breath to calm down as she tried to analyze the situation.
‘Who knew my secret? Who saved Jiahui so quietly without leaving any traces behind? What is that person’s motive?’
