Chapter 353: Looking for Jian Yufei All Night_1
Upon seeing them leave, Liu Qianqian picked up her wine glass, took a delicate sip, and carried on chatting with the people around, a smile on her face.
“What did you want to tell ?” Yan Yue asked, confused, once they’d stepped outside.
Xu Man whispered sothing in Yan Yue’s ear. Yan Yue slightly altered, replied in a deep tone “Are you out of your mind? If this cos out, no one can help you.”
Dismissing her concerns, Xu Man said: “No worries. Rest assure, the man I hired has never failed. Yueyue, I’m doing this to help you vent. I’ve always had my issues with that bitch, Jiang Yufei. But don’t worry, she won’t face any harm. I’m just trying to put so fear into her, keep her from being too arrogant.”
Yan Yue, eyes cast downward in contemplation, said, “Alright, you cannot talk about this to anyone else.”
“Aside from you, I haven’t ntioned this to anyone else. Not even Qianqian.”
After so thought, Yan Yue gently held her arm and laughed, “I heard your father is considering a run for representative of the people.”
Xu Man’s eyes lit up, she nodded and replied, “Yes, but as you know, my father doesn’t have a political background, so there’s little chance of him winning.”
“If Uncle Xu, having done so much charitable work, cannot win an election, who can?” Yan Yue replied with a sly grin.
Xu Man nodded in realization, “You’re right, my dad is the most charitable person I know.”
In her mind, she planned to urge her father to take part in so charity work tonight, obviously in association with Vice Mayor Yan.
Leaning against the wall, sat Jiang Yufei, feeling cold, hungry, and thirsty.
It should be nightti, she thought. She couldn’t see anything.
The room was utterly dark, with thin air accompanied by a detestable sll of mold.
Jiang Yufei hugged her knees, her face buried in her arms, yet she still felt very cold, a piercing, bone-deep cold.
She was not afraid of the cold but afraid the baby in her belly would be affected.
My baby, you have to be strong, we cannot afford any accidents. Mumma will be strong, waiting for soone to rescue us. You too, must be strong. We will get out soon…
Jiang Yufei repeated this prayer until she dozed off in a daze.
She was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, but could not see anything when she opened her eyes.
In panic, she got up, pounded on the door, but outside, it was silent, she realized no one was coming to rescue her.
Suddenly, unpleasant cat screams echoed from outside, sounding like crying babies, desperate and terrified.
Jiang Yufei cowered into the corner, hands over her ears, shivering, her mind filled with harrowing images.
She was worried that sothing might appear from the dark, or even worse, soone evil would break in to hurt her.
The more she thought about it, the less she was able to control her imagination. Biting her lip, she curled herself up into a ball, deciding to stay motionless no matter what she heard.
She did not know how long she held on for before collapsing onto the ground and losing consciousness.
Ruan Tianling had been searching for Jiang Yufei all night but was unable to locate her.
He spent the whole night with a stern face, the mood around him being so heavy it felt like a ten-ter radius of low pressure was surrounding him.
He took out his cell phone and tried dialing Jiang Yufei’s number once again. The phone rang, but nobody answered.
Discouraged, he tossed the phone away, a constant unease tornted his mind.
If she had been kidnapped, the kidnappers should contact him. But the night passed, and there was still no sign…
