There should be fewer people at night than during the day, but this rule did not exist in the bustling City A. After Fang Qing walked into the toilet, all the cubicle doors were tightly shut. Fang Qing did not have much strength to continue walking, so she stood outside and waited.

Suddenly, she felt a pat on her shoulder, and her eyes went black, and she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Fang Qing was in a completely black environment. Fang Qing tried hard to open her eyes, wanting to see the scene in front of her. In the end, her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and she could not see anything clearly.

As her body’s consciousness and functions slowly recovered, Fang Qing realized ropes tied up her hands and feet.

Fang Qing wanted to summon Yun Xiao. Although she had always carried her summoning device with her, it had always been in the inner clip of her clothes. She had no way of taking it out.

Just as Fang Qing was deep in thought, she heard heavy footsteps from outside. She knew immediately that it was two men.

After the door opened, Fang Qing hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying her best to expand her hearing.

The man outside the door came in and saw that Fang Qing did not move and sleeping soundly. His words were no longer restrained.

“Big brother, what do you think the Wen family is trying to do? Catching such a nameless person to benefit us, brothers.”

The Wen family! Fang Qing instantly extracted this information. Fang Qing did not need to think to know which Wen family it was. Only one family in City A had the money and ability to do such a thing.

The person called big brother opened his mouth and said, “Why do you care so much? There are plenty of scandals between the rich. Besides, this little girl is fair and clean, as beautiful as a fairy. You won’t find her anywhere else.”

One of the lackeys said, “Then big brother, why don’t we…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the lackey received a blow to the head. “What are you thinking about? Miss Wen has personally instructed us to wait for her to come. Since she hasn’t woken up yet, we’ll continue to keep watch and wait for Miss Wen.”

A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps became softer and softer until it disappeared from Fang Qing’s ears.

Wen Yan? Did she hate herself to this extent? It had reached the point where she disregarded the law. However, when she heard the two brothers mention the Wen family, Fang Qing felt that this matter was not that simple.

However, handing over her own life to others had never been Fang Qing’s style. Fang Qing’s hands were tied behind her back by ropes. Listening to the sounds of ‘da da da’ from top to bottom, she felt that this place should be a dark and humid environment. Thus, her initial judgment was that this should be a basement.

Fang Qing tried her best to move her body, and suddenly, she felt a gratifying touch. The wall behind her had a thin, uneven brick at a lower position. Fang Qing tried rubbing the rope in her hands against it, and the conclusion was that it was completely effective.

After a while, Fang Qing broke the rope in her hands. When her hands were free again, Fang Qing did not hurry to tear off the cloth on her eyes. Instead, she continued to slow down. She found the round beeper in her inner clip and pressed the button.

Yun Xiao came very quickly. Seeing Fang Qing tied up like this, Yun Xiao almost could not believe that this was his boss.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to help Fang Qing remove the anklet, Fang Qing said, “No need. You hide. I know you’re here.”

Yun Xiao was shocked, but he still chose to listen to Fang Qing.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to leave, Fang Qing called out to him again, “Wait a moment. Help me put on the rope I was holding earlier. Thank you.”

Yun Xiao was even more confused. Not only did he not tell anyone that he had been kidnapped, but he was also not allowed to be rescued. He had to come out himself. What kind of magical reality was this.

However, Yun Xiao still listened to Fang Qing’s words and tied the rope back. He also told Fang Qing, “If you are in danger, press that button at any time.”

Fang Qing replied with an ‘okay’, and Yun Xiao immediately went out.

That would depend on who would be the last to laugh. Fang Qing’s heart was abnormally calm now. The initial fear had slowly subsided. Now, she only wanted to see what tricks the Wen family could play.

Fang Qing closed her eyes and rested for a while. Then, she heard the voices of the two brothers outside. However, this time, it was less arrogant than before. It was more of a lackey and a fawning person. “Miss Wen, be careful. Don’t get your shoes dirty.”

Wen Yan walked towards the door with her head held high. She did not put the two people beside her in her eyes at all. She only said when she reached the door, “Hmph, you two will have it easy later.”
