I missed you.
The four simple words caused Michelle's spine to stiffen and her hands to tremble.
She had imagined such a day, but she had not expected that it would actually come. After a short period of shock and excitement, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Do you miss me?" Lin Muhan's voice was somewhat low and deep, but it was surprisingly pleasant to hear.
Mi Xue's face reddened slightly. She looked around and her heartbeat quickened.
I think you.
The three words were very simple, but she could not say it.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she didn't have the courage, or perhaps she felt that it was too emotional, so she couldn't help blushing and didn't say it.
"Looks like I have to perform well first." Lin Muhan waited for a long time before he teased.
Michelle's face turned even redder as she quickly hung up.
Just as she was about to reach out for a taxi, a black Japanese car stopped in front of her. Michelle slightly frowned as she inwardly ridiculed the owner of the car for being too disrespectful. Didn't he see her standing here?
Just as she was about to leave, the car door suddenly opened and a hand quickly grabbed onto her hand.
Michelle was about to speak when the hands pulled her into the car. Michelle's cell phone fell to the ground with a thud.
The car door slammed shut, and before he could react, the car started to move.
"Miss Mi, I advise you to let your spirit be wasted." The man saw her intention and gave her a cold glance.
Different from the feeling Lin Muhan gave others, Mi Xue truly felt the killing intent.
Just one glance was enough to make her feel pressured to the point that she couldn't breathe.
She tried her best to remain calm, but her heart was thumping wildly. The man sitting beside her took out an eye patch and tossed it to her. "Will you do it yourself, or should I help you?"
When Michelle saw this cold man, she dared not make a move. She took the eyepatch and said, "I'll do it myself."
That person did not make things difficult for her and just took her bag away.
When she put on the eyepatch, it was completely dark. There was not a single movement in the car, and all she could hear was her breathing and the occasional sound of a car horn coming from outside.
Turn left, go straight, turn right...
At first, she could roughly guess where it was, but as time passed, she knew that the TV was full of lies. With her eyes blindfolded, she had no way to remember how many turns it had taken and how many steps it had taken.
After swaying for nearly an hour, the car finally stopped.
Mi Xue heard the sound of the car door opening, followed by a gust of wind. She instinctively wanted to go and get her hair, but the man sitting beside her reached out and tugged on her, "If Miss Mi wants to make a small move, I don't mind tying your hand up as well."
Michelle immediately stopped moving. She didn't want to lose her freedom yet.
Being pushed forward, she soon heard a voice calling out to her. It wasn't someone she knew.
It was just a brief pause, but she was pushed back again, "Miss Mi, please come in!"
With that, she was pushed aside, and the metal door slammed shut.
"Boss, I think this girl is really pretty, how about …" A vulgar voice sounded.
"If you want to take the money, then take this year. Our goal is only to capture him and hand him over to him." A cold voice sounded.
Michelle had been worried at first, but when she heard the rest, she was finally relieved.
After a moment, knowing that no one would come over, she took off her eye patch.
It was a small room. Even though it was daytime, it was very dim. There was only a small ventilation window. The only exit door was locked. Michelle sat quietly, wondering who could have caught her using such a trick.
Furthermore, it was obvious that they did not come with good intentions. According to the conversation between the two, they were just asking for money.
The man's vulgar words came from time to time. Michelle couldn't care less anymore. She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of who it was.
After standing there for a while, she felt a pain in her foot and found a dry corner to sit in.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second, she felt as if years had passed, she couldn't help but wonder what Lin Muhan was doing at this time, and whether he had discovered that she had gone missing.
After what seemed like a century, the door finally opened.
A woman walked in from the outside. When she saw Michelle, a mocking sneer appeared on her face. "Mi Xue, you didn't expect this, did you? One day you will fall at my hands!"
Mi Xue was very familiar with the person in front of her eyes. It was Xu Meiyu, who had been kicked out of the Lin Family.
"What do you want?" Mi Xue's mind was a mess, but she forced herself to remain calm as she inquired.
Xu Meiyu laughed, the muscles on her face were stiff, her facial features were distorted and there was a dense amount of hatred in her eyes.
"Mi Xue, why don't we make a deal. You call Lin Muhan and have him let go of the Xu family and agree to the marriage between me and Lin Junhao!" Xu Meiyu asked for it with an overbearing attitude.
Michelle wasn't a stone-hearted person, but she was definitely not someone who could be manipulated by others.
If Xu Meiyu had spoken to her properly, for their sake, she might have agreed, but Xu Meiyu was bullying her too much, kidnapping her and threatening her, how could she agree!
"You should also know that there is no turning point in this matter. For such a disgraceful matter to occur, the Lin Family is not a door that you can enter." Michelle stared coldly at the man before her.
Just a moment ago, she was still nervous, but now, she was no longer nervous.
She didn't know why, but she had a nagging feeling that Xu Meiyu wasn't just doing this to get her to agree to this matter.
She couldn't help but look at her surroundings again. Although she didn't discover any other dangers, she still didn't dare to let down her guard and couldn't help but take a step back.
Seeing her actions, Xu Meiyu did not react. In her view, Mi Xue had no way of escaping.
"Mi Xue, let me tell you. If you make Lin Muhan agree to this matter, I can guarantee that you will be able to walk out of this door safely. Otherwise …" She smiled coldly as a trace of ruthlessness flashed across the corner of her mouth.
An ominous premonition flashed in Michelle's heart. This woman seemed to have a killing intent towards her!
She thought that she had no enmity with Xu Meiyu, how could she be so unlucky?
He intentionally changed his mind and swallowed his anger as he said, "Second Aunt, you should know that many of the marriages I have with Muhan are for Grandfather's sake. He doesn't love me at all, how could he possibly listen to me!"
"At least you know your own limits!" Xu Meiyu glanced at her, and then said: "Don't think that you can fool me like this, if you don't try, how would you know the result?"
"Then second aunt needs to think this through. If I make a call, then he'll find out that I'm here, and then you won't be able to get away with it." Michelle could only think of another way.
"Hahaha …"
As if he had heard a huge joke, Xu Meiyu started to laugh without any regard for her image.
However, Mi Xue's brain was working quickly, and she did not know what Xu Meiyu meant by that.
Since she didn't believe that Lin Muhan loved her, why would she do anything unnecessary?
Judging from her current appearance, she felt even more certain that this woman couldn't have some mental issues.
"Mi Xue, the reason why I have ended up like this is because of a slut like you. You shouldn't have married into the Lin Clan!" Xu Meiyu berated loudly.
Michelle didn't want to argue with her over how long it would take. After all, he was now a fish in the water.
Ye Zichen turned his head and ignored her.
Seeing her like this, Xu Meiyu was even more furious.
He raised his hand and slapped Michelle hard on the face. "You dare not take it to heart? Let's see how I'll take care of you today!"
He raised his hand again, and just as he was about to land it on Michelle's face, she quickly reached out to stop him, and tightly held his hand.
The two of them were in a stalemate, but how could Mi Xue be a match to someone like Xu Meiyu, who usually made a fool out of himself? She was petite in the first place, and her body had always been in a bad condition.
Very quickly, the palm fell again.
She could only feel a buzzing in her ears and a burning pain on her face. Without even thinking, she could tell that the bright red palm print was on her face.
She pushed Mi Xue to the ground and kicked her legs a few times. Only when she saw Mi Xue lying on the ground in a sorry state with her hair in a mess and her body curled up did she feel satisfied.
With his hands on his waist, he took out an old-fashioned mobile phone and threw it in front of Mi Xue, "Call Lin Muhan first. I want to see the Xu sign the contract, and promise Lin Junhao and I to remarry. Otherwise, I will have many methods to make you live a life worse than death.
Michelle did not move, and another round of punches and kicks followed.
"Do you believe that if you continue to fight, I'll risk everything and make your Xu Family suffer a miserable death!" Michelle gritted her teeth and shouted.
She knew clearly that Xu Meiyu was a dog that jumped off a wall in a hurry. If she didn't attack, she would only be beaten half to death by this crazy woman, and she didn't even know where she was in this place. If she dared to act so brazenly, it was probably an abandoned place, and she probably wouldn't be discovered even if she died ten to half a month ago.
Michelle panicked.
She had only just met Lin Muhan frankly and hadn't had the chance to enjoy his happiness yet, so how could he have died like this?
Lin Muhan, did you notice that I was gone? Michelle shouted in her heart.
She looked at Xu Meiyu from the corner of her eyes. This woman was staring at her intently, not giving her any chance to escape. Furthermore, those words just now were only a threat to Xu Meiyu, but it clearly did not have much effect on her.
What should he do? Michelle thought about it, but could not find any clues.
"I can't fight!" Seeing that she still had not moved, Xu Meiyu walked to her side and squatted down, grabbing her by the hair.
The pain was so intense that Michelle felt her scalp go numb.
She had originally wanted to tell Xu Meiyu that she couldn't remember Lin Muhan's number, but a number was currently displayed on the screen, the one that she remembered very well.
"Don't play any tricks on me, or I'll have someone dig your parents' grave!" Xu Meiyu threatened.
"How dare you!" Michelle screamed.
Xu Meiyu only snorted coldly, showing the intention of seeing if she dared to or not.
Michelle's hand was trembling slightly. She knew that there was nothing she could do today, so she steeled her heart and pressed the dial button.
