Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Ying’s pupils constricted.
Was this the Young Master’s castle?
When Xiao Ying was pregnant with Wan Bao, she had been kidnapped by the Young Master for a period of time. She had some understanding of the decor and layout of the house.
But why was she here?
The was heavily guarded and they had been holding a grand banquet. Long Ming had also been in the banquet hall. How could he let her be taken away?
Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows tightly.
By right, outsiders could not enter the unless they had an invitation.
And both she and Long Mei had both fainted. It couldn’t be that coincidental.
Could it be…
Xiao Ying’s head spun quickly. Thinking of one possibility, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Could it be that Long Mei’s boyfriend had swapped her and Long Mei’s clothes and pretended that she was Long Mei to take her away?
At the thought of this possibility, gooseb.u.mps appeared on Xiao Ying’s arms.
What did Long Mei’s boyfriend have to do with the Young Master in the castle?
There were countless doubts in Xiao Ying’s mind, but after sleeping for a long time, her body and mind were still weak and needed to rest. After thinking for a while, she started to feel dizzy again.
When she woke up again, it was already dark outside.
Xiao Ying supported her slightly exhausted body and got off the bed.
She was wearing a simple set of pajamas. Her jewelry and watch had been taken away.
Xiao Ying walked around the room but did not find a phone. She went to the bathroom and washed her face with some cold water. She looked at herself in the mirror carefully. She had probably not been tortured after fainting. Her skin was fair and there were no injuries on her.
Xiao Ying came out of the bathroom and went to the door, wanting to pull it open.
But the door was locked from the outside.
Xiao Ying sat back on the bed, feeling a little panicked. In such a situation, it was impossible for a person to remain indifferent no matter how strong they were.
But she knew very well that the more she panicked, the worse it would be for her.
She had to calm down.
If the Duke’s family realized that she was missing, they would definitely search for her.
Even if she did not trust others, did she not trust Long Ming?
At this thought, Xiao Ying’s heart calmed down a little.
Xiao Ying leaned against the bed for a while before she heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and a servant came over with a tray. “Miss, Young Master guessed that you’d be awake and asked me to bring you something to eat.”
A cold smirk appeared on Xiao Ying’s lips.
It was really that Young Master who had schemed to kidnap her!
Did he hate her that much?
He had caused Tang En’s death and she had not even sought revenge on him, yet he still dared to kidnap her?
“Where’s your Young Master? I want to see him!”
“Miss, our Young Master doesn’t want to see you now…”
Before the servant could finish speaking, the tray in her hand was thrown to the ground by Xiao Ying.
The servant looked at her cold expression and lowered her head. Xiao Ying pushed her away and walked out.
But there were two bodyguards in black guarding the door.
“Miss, you cannot leave this room without Young Master’s permission!”
Xiao Ying looked at the two bodyguards in black. If she forced her way out, more bodyguards might come out. It was not easy for her to leave alone.
Xiao Ying did not force her way through. She shouted at the door, “You have the guts to bring me here but you don’t have the guts to meet me? You caused Tang En’s death. Not only did you not reflect on your mistake, but you even stabbed his best friend. People like you will go to h.e.l.l after you die!”
No matter how Xiao Ying cursed, no one responded to her.
Xiao Ying had no choice but to return to her room.
The servant had already tidied up the tray that she had knocked over and went downstairs to bring another serving of food.
Xiao Ying sat by the bed, smelling the food on the tray. Her stomach started to growl.
She did not know how long it had been since she had eaten, but she was really hungry now.
Why had that person kidnapped her?
Had he poisoned the food?
Probably not.
If it was poisoned, someone in the Duke’s residences would have done it. After all, they had already managed to kidnap her!
Xiao Ying glanced at the food on the tray. It was her favorite food.
Didn’t this Young Master hate her to the core?
Why would he send her food she liked? Did he want to take her life and not let her be a hungry ghost after death?
Xiao Ying picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites.
After filling her stomach slightly, Xiao Ying went to the window and looked outside.
There were window grilles installed, so it was impossible to get out.
Xiao Ying went to the bathroom again. The window of the bathroom was not big but there were no window grilles. Logically speaking, it was impossible for an adult to get out through it.
But Xiao Ying had been trained since she was young. Her bones were rather soft and she had been trained to escape. As long as there was a chance of survival, she would grasp it.
Xiao Ying did not escape immediately. She lay on the bed and slept again.
By the second half of the night, the sky had completely darkened.
Xiao Ying opened her eyes and walked to the door, pressing her ear against it as she listened to the sounds outside.
After a few minutes, Xiao Ying entered the bathroom.
After she got out of the window, she jumped agilely onto a big tree in the yard. Her arms and legs were scratched by the branches and were bleeding. It hurt a little, but Xiao Ying did not care. She climbed down the tree trunk and onto the ground.
She had lived in the castle for a period of time and knew the terrain here very well.
However, the security here was strict and there were many surveillance cameras. If she was not careful, she would be caught.
However, Tang En had once told her that as long as she was careful, she would be able to escape. As for why Tang En did not escape, he said that no matter where he escaped to, the Young Master would find him as long as he did not want to let him go.
Unless he or the Young Master was dead.
At the thought of Tang En, Xiao Ying felt sad. Why was such a good person so unlucky in his life?
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Xiao Ying ran toward a small path out of sight of the surveillance camera.
After running for about half an hour, Xiao Ying arrived at an inconspicuous corner.
There were many plants planted there. Tang En had told her that if she walked through the plants for about five minutes, she would see a wall. There was a hole in the wall, and with her size, she could get out.
Xiao Ying looked behind her. Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she walked through the plants.
She did not dare to stop and could only run forward.
Finally, she found the wall that Tang En had mentioned. Xiao Ying was sweating profusely as she pried away the tall weeds.
She used all of her strength to pull the weeds away.
However, she realized…
There was indeed a small hole there, but someone had blocked the hole
It was obvious that the hole had been patched up recently.
Xiao Ying glanced at the outer wall. It was so tall that it was almost isolated from the world and there was no way she could jump over it.
Xiao Ying leaned against the wall, raising her hand to wipe her sweat.
A low laugh suddenly sounded by her ear. “Ha.”
