Chapter 873 - Bound
Chapter 873: Bound
Translator: Lonelytree
As it was still early, and all the stores had just begun their business, Tobias Square was very empty, and the coffee shop we had agreed upon was very quiet in a remote corner of the mall.
When I entered, there was only one clerk preparing for business.
I chose a corner seat and sat down, with the pedestrian-less square behind me.
I rarely felt like this. I felt a faint sense of unease.
But after thinking about it, Gu Yan had no reason to throw me off at the last moment of her freedom, right?
The waiter brought me a glass of lemonade and handed me a menu. I absentmindedly took it and looked at it, saying, “I’m waiting for my friend.”
I picked up the glass and took a sip of the lemonade, but before I could swallow it, nausea rose from the bottom of my stomach.
I couldn’t control myself and vomited the water into the glass. Then I began to retch.
At that moment, I believed that I was pregnant. The morning sickness was real, but it wasn’t because of a glass of lemonade, was it?
My mind was running wild. Suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my neck, and my vision went black. I didn’t know anything.
When my consciousness recovered bit by bit, I first sighed in my heart.
I hadn’t been so unlucky for a long, long time. Sure enough, the long days of ease would wear away one’s will, and safety was the unchanging principle.
This was a bloody lesson.
The feeling in my body, bit by bit, returned to my brain.
I still pretended to be dead without moving.
First, I was thrown to the ground like a broken sack. It was a cold and dirty cement floor because the tip of my nose smelled like a mixture of dust and oil. It was a smell that had not been washed for a long time.
Second, my feet were tied very firmly, and my hands were tied behind my back.
Gu Yan lied to me. This damn woman lied to me.
And I was actually so easily fooled by her!
I gritted my teeth and repeated the process. What exactly went wrong? How could I have been fooled by her?
I had thought through every nook and cranny and could not help but sigh in my heart. If I were to do it again, I would still do it. This was a scam that had no flaws at all!
Alright! I admit it. I’ll talk about it when I see Gu Yan. I have to make up for this lesson.
I held my breath and listened carefully. There was no sound around me as if there was no one there.
The distant, indistinct sounds were a little noisy, but I could not tell what they were.
I opened my eyes quietly. First, I saw the dirty floor that I had guessed correctly. Then, there were some miscellaneous items. From those items, I felt that this place should be the kitchen of some restaurant.
But I could not understand. Why did Gu Yan bring me here?
The most embarrassing thing was that I didn’t see who had attacked me.
“Bang!”
“Ah!”
The door was knocked open, followed by a sharp scream. It was Gu Yan’s voice.
Following that was the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground. Not far in front of me, I sneaked a glance. It was Gu Yan, who was dressed in branded clothes.
Gu Yan trembled and begged for mercy. “Please, let me go. Let me go. I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do. Let me go!”
I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing to the lightest.
It looks like it was not yet my turn.
