Chapter 87 - Imprisonment

Qin Yu and Shi Xiao were forced to walk along a small dirt road as they shoved around. Finally, they stopped in front of a rustic-looking hut.

Somebody came out to welcome them. "Was it safe?"

"Aye!"

Qin Yu and Shi Xiao were pushed into the house. Upon entering the room, the door was locked from the outside.

Shi Xiao rammed into the door like a mad woman and cried while trying to knock it open.

Qin Yu looked around the small hut. There was nothing inside but two dirty quilts piled up in the corner. Seemed to her that the place was frequently used to lock people up. 

Shi Xiao could not open the door. Exhausted, she leaned against the door, crying as she squatted down.

Qin Yu paced around the room and looked up at the roof. Sure enough, there was a CCTV camera with a red light flashing in the corner.

Someone was watching. Qin Yu simply walked over and looked into the camera.

She couldn't figure out who the kidnapper was. What if it was someone that knew her well? She couldn't just destroy the character she'd painstakingly set-up over the years, right?

Playing dumb was her daily routine.

How could she play dumb facing a camera? Without her use of hands or mouth?

A stare-off with the camera!

Trying to see who would last till the end, she winked at the camera, left eye, right eye, all of them, again, and let's do it again!

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the door opened from the outside.

Shi Xiao jumped up immediately.

Qin Yu silently turned around to look at the people who came in.

The four of them were dressed exactly the same. Apart from their eyes, their bodies were covered up in black.

A cautious bunch of picnic. It seemed like they were going to war instead of kidnapping.

However, one look at them and one could tell that they were much more professional than the two kidnappers who kidnapped her back then.

Speaking of which, someone who could afford to hire professionals had to be rich!

Qin Yu began to narrow down her list of people most-likely to kidnap her.

One of the man in black stepped forward and pulled off the tape on Shi Xiao's mouth. Shi Xiao was in so much pain that tears flew out as she continuously wailed.

Qin Yu could not help but close her eyes. It hurt to look at her.

"Who are you people? Why did you kidnap me? Do you want money? I can give you money. Please let me go. I beg you to let me go!" Shi Xiao pleaded repeatedly.

The men ignored her and walked to Qin Yu. Qin Yu could not help but closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, waiting for the pain to come.

Fortunately, this person was quite skilled. Although it was very painful, it only lasted for an instant. Qin Yu let out a huge breath.

The four of them looked at her and she looked back at them. Nobody said a word.

Qin Yu asked carefully after a long silence, "Do you want to see me cry?"

The men did not answer and stood there staring at her. Qin Yu continued, "Will you hit me if I cry? Will you let my sister go if I keep quiet?"

The four of them were surprised but did not change their stances.

Qin Yu said in a gentle voice, "I'm hungry. Can you give us some food? After all, it was such a long journey, I'm starving!"

She said with a frown, but her eyes never moved away from the men.

Suddenly, a voice came from above, "Come back."

Qin Yu and Shi Xiao were both shocked and instinctively looked up.

It was the camera.

The men walked out of the door in silence while Shi Xiao pounced forward, "Let me go, please let me go! I'll give you money. My sister married the heir of the Ning family. He's loaded and gave her a hundred million dollars as dowry. You can have her! I'll return and gather the money you want, my brother-in-law is willing to pay however much you ask for!"

Brother-in-law? How amusing. Even in such dangerous situation, Shi Xiao had the audacity to put her under the bus, all to protect her safety and her rights.

Qin Yu then saw one of the men turned around to kick Shi Xiao to the ground.

She proceeded to wail like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

As she cried, she suddenly shouted, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! They came to kidnap you! Why should I suffer with you?"

Qin Yu couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

A waste of time to talk to a person who couldn't think straight. She'd rather conserve her energy so she could deal with the situation at hand.

Qin Yu shrugged her shoulders and walked to a corner, squatting down.

As the saying went, it was dark under the lights. The camera wouldn't be able to capture her movements.

Although she couldn't escape, being stared at was definitely not a comfortable experience.
