Su Xiyu wiped the sweat off his face that was careworn with anxiety. Never did Su Xiyu thought that Fu Sinian would treat himself in such a ruthless way. "Yes, in this way Fu Chen has no chance to turn up, but your health will soon break down. Moreover, your body"s resistance to that kind of drug is increasing and soon after, it will no longer have any effect on you. If you go on like this, perhaps you will die."

Fu Sinian twisted his lips into an indifferent smile and replied casually, "So what? I don"t care!"

"Even if I will die, I won"t give Fu Chen any chance to approach Xu Zijin. She is my woman! Even death can"t take her away from me!" he thought, as his jaw jutted with determination.

Fu Sinian drove to the hospital.

Before he would walk into the ward, a nurse rushed to him and said with anxiety, "Mr. Fu, Miss Xu is gone! We can"t find her anywhere."

Xu Zijin was awakened by the beating of gongs and drums. She opened her eyes, dazed and dizzy. The firecrackers were crackling and spluttering outside, which jangled her nerves.

A few days ago, as always, she went to the garden and basked in the sun. Suddenly, she heard the approaching footsteps of some strangers, and then she was swiftly incapacitated by a handkerchief soaked in a powerful drug that covered her mouth and nose tightly. Soon she lapsed into an anesthetized unconsciousness.

When she woke up, she was already in a moving minivan. As her arms and legs were weak, she couldn"t even raise the energy to get up. Xu Zijin composed herself and sensed that something was very wrong.

She seemed to have been kidnapped.

Xu Zijin wanted to run away, but the kidnappers were very alert. Every time before the effects of the anesthetic began to wear off, they injected her again to prevent her from regaining the strength. She could only lie half-conscious in the minivan, listening to them talking.

From their conversations, she knew that these kidnappers were human traffickers. They had kidnapped her and now was taking her to a remote place. She would be sold.

Gradually, she lapsed into a deep coma.

Xu Zijin bit her lips and slowly woke up from the memory.

"Where am I now? Have I been sold?" she thought.

Xu Zijin had thousands of questions on her mind. The loneliness and unknown danger played tricks to her head that she was about to get crazy.

She calmed herself down and tried to find a way out of her dilemma. There was a sudden sound of footsteps coming towards her, and then the wooden door was pushed open from the outside and squeaked.

The very next second, someone walked in.

"Who are you?" Xu Zijin struggled to sit up, picked up a pillow and hugged it tight to her chest, as her big eyes were guarded and vigilant.

"You are blind?" a middle-aged woman"s voice asked. Although Xu Zijin couldn"t see the woman, she knew that the woman must be regarding her with a contemptuous look.

The woman turned around and said to a middle-aged man, "d.a.m.n it! I didn"t find her blind because she was in sleep when we bought her from Mr. Hei. She"s beautiful and I thought that it was a good deal. But I didn"t expect that she was a blind woman. How dared Mr. Hei cheat me! I"m going to settle scores with him."

"Calm down and listen to me. Mr. Hei is an extremely astute trafficker. And now he must have already left our village. Everything has two sides. Just think about Mr. Li"s daughter-in-law. She is not blind, but every day she stirs up trouble. So, for us, it"s okay to have a blind daughter-in-law because she is incapable of running away." The man persuaded, "Our son is different from other normal men. As long as she can give birth to our grandson, I think she is worth the money we paid."

The middle-aged woman was persuaded. Poker-faced, she said to Xu Zijin, who was sitting on the bed and trembling, in a gruff voice, "Listen to me carefully. I don"t care where you are from. I spent 20,000 yuan on you and from now on, you are my son"s wife.

In truth, I wanted to buy an honest, obedient and capable woman to be my daughter-in-law. Who could have expected that you are blind? What rotten luck! Alas! Oh well, as long as you marry my son and give birth to my grandson, I will treat you well. But if you attempt to run away, I"ll show you no mercy."

After warning Xu Zijin, they two went out.

The room quietened down. Xu Zijin was restless, her heart beating frantically with fear at her own unknown fate.

"Have I really been sold?" she murmured to herself.

Xu Zijin had seen some news reports saying that some poor women had been abducted and sold to families in some G.o.d-forsaken villages and been treated as a tool to bear children.

She had sincerely prayed for those women, hoping that they could be saved and live a happy life. However, not once did it occur to her that she would be kidnapped and sold by the human traffickers.
