Ji Nuan’s hand was almost broken from the force. She resisted the pain, staring at the cheque without moving. 0

The man behind her suddenly brought out a small, sharp knife. He lowered his voice, speaking threateningly: “You have two choices. If you sign the cheque, we’ll keep this knife for you. You can find the opportunity to cut the ropes and run away on your own. Five million yuan for an opportunity to escape! Otherwise, we’ll use to knife to rip your hand and leg tendons, or perhaps, we’ll directly slash your face! Are you going to sign it or not? Decide on your own!”

Ji Nuan silently furrowed her brows.

Five million yuan for a small knife?

Yet, these two were clearly not joking around. Her hand was almost broken from the force he was using. Although these two were utterly devoid of conscience, this was clearly a situation where the weak would be eaten. In the world that these exiled people lived in, the cost of a life was far too small.

She suddenly raised her eyes, glaring toward the man stepping on her hand. The man saw her gaze and finally shifted his foot away. He tossed the pen toward her and ordered once more, “Sign it! Five hundred million yuan! Not even a single cent less!”

Ji Nuan glanced toward the knife in the other man’s hands. That man tossed the knife over. His meaning was clear; if she dared to sign it, they would hand the knife over. Whether or not she would obtain the opportunity to escape all

depended on her own ability.

Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment, slowly shifting her aching and numb hand before she picked up the pen to write on the cheque.

As she signed it, she considered the events that had occurred.

It was right for her to have been suspicious of Su Xueyi; that girl did not have any kind intentions. She had acted like a silly, naive girl to approach her and to observe her movements. To think that she had been harboring such unthinkable thoughts while hiding in ambush for half a month.

Seeing that she had filled in the blank cheque, the two men finally hauled her up. Ji Nuan stumbled and could not stand firmly. Her hands were once more restrained with a rope. Although she was no longer stuck to the chair, she still did not have any opportunity for freedom.

She wondered if the two men would not keep their word. The man in front of her folded the small knife and stuffed it into her palm. He then deftly tied her hands behind her so that no one would be able to see what she was holding.

“The knife is already in your hands, don’t say that we don’t have any conscience!’ That man tied her firmly, appearing very satisfied with himself as he said lowly, “Miss Su’s people are guarding right outside. We have to send you to the bar. After sending you in, as long as you cut the rope in between your middle and index finger, you’ll be able to free yourself. How about it, isn’t this five million yuan well spent?”

If her lips weren’t sealed by the tape, Ji Nuan really wanted to scold them upside down.

She resisted the fear and rage, holding that small knife in a death grip. She then coldly stared at the

two men.

“Quit glaring. Its rare to find someone as tactful as you. Miss Su’s background is not simple. She knows where our den is located. If it were someone else, they would never sell their brothers out for the sake of this five million dollars!’

Seeing that Ji Nuan was now obediently allowing them to restrain her and did not attempt to struggle further, the man gave his partner a signal with his eyes.

When the two of them brought Ji Nuan out, before she could even see anything, her eyes were abruptly covered with a strip of black fabric. The darkness and fear caused her heart to lose its composure. She frantically tried to struggle once more but was already brought to the side of a car. There was probably someone on that car; the two men changed the patient attitude they had when

they were restraining her earlier, and harshly yelled at her, pushing her in with force.

Ji Nuan abruptly felt herself being pushed into someone else’s hands. Were they the people under Miss Su?

What exactly was Su Xueyi’s background…

Her vision was completely covered, and she was pushed into the car just like that-

Outside T City’s largest underground bar, the traffic flow was crowded, and the roads were filled with neon lights.

Among the rows of cars, Su Xueyi sat in a black Audi. She watched from afar as Ji Nuan was brought out from a car and hauled into the bar, gradually curving her lips into a smile.

The innocent and naive face was stained with a

few hints of sharp cruelty. After confirming that Ji Nuan was brought in and could no longer escape, she ordered the chauffeur to begin driving.

The black Audi drove out from a nearby street and moved along the road. At this moment, Su Xueyi’s phone rang. She took a glance at the screen and excitedly picked up the phone. “Cousin, did you choose such a time to give me a call to congratulate me for completing your task?”

Hearing the voice from the other end, Su Xueyi smiled radiantly. “How could you doubt my work? Of course, I won’t take her life. What ill do is to ruin her.”

The car was only filled with Su Xueyi’s pleased voice.

Of course, if she were to die, Mo Jingshen would remember her forever. You would never have the opportunity to return to his side, and his heart would never have space for anyone aside from

the dead person. But if we ruin her, leaving her dirty existence in this world, he will surely be

repulsed by her one day!’

 That Ji Nuan is much more careful than we expected. I was almost discovered by her…”

 When she heard that I came from Los Angeles, she appeared sensitive to the place. I suspect she already knows of your existence!’

“Ah, no matter how careful she is, didn’t she still land in my hands? If you weren’t kept under house arrest by uncle and came here personally, I suspect this show would have been much more

entertaining…”

 If Mo Jingshen hadn’t given the Su family a

warning, uncle would never have locked you up. I feel sorry that you have to miss this great show as well… But don’t worry, I’ll completely destroy that Ji Nuan so that shell lose to you in every way…”

Su Xueyi was still happily chatting on the phone. All of a sudden, the car she was in pulled the emergency brake. She had only just hung up the phone, and her unstable hands caused her phone to fall abruptly.

She raised her head and was about to coldly reprimand the chauffeur when the illumination from the corner of her eyes startled her.

Su Xueyi swerved her head over to look at the car in front. A black off-road vehicle had suddenly appeared. It drove in from the side and came to a stop in front of them horizontally; blocking them from moving forward. The windows were tinted black, but before she could get a clear look of the person inside, Su Xueyi felt the air turn cold.

A black off-road vehicle had precisely forced her car to a stop.

Su Xueyi paused in her movements to pick up her phone, her gaze fixed ahead. After a moment, she suddenly said, “Drive.”

The chauffeur hesitated. “But Miss Su, the car ahead…”

“I asked you to drive! Right now! Faster! Go around that car!” Su Xueyi coldly and urgently commanded.

The chauffeur could only start the engine once more. He quickly drove the car backward and turned it around to head in the opposite direction.

Su Xueyi picked up her phone, tightly gripping it. Her eyes were fixed on that car when she saw that it was relentlessly pursuing them. She frantically yelled out, “Drive faster! Faster!”

The chauffeur hurriedly obeyed. As he watched the car approaching them, he felt a thick murderous intent draw closer; he instinctively pressed down on the accelerator…

They accelerated, and the black off-road vehicle accelerated as well. When they drove into a wide, empty road, the black car sped up even more.

There was no way to lose them. Su Xueyi furrowed her brows and decided to give up such a chase. She ordered the chauffeur to stop in front.

When the car came to a stop, Su Xueyi assumed that the black vehicle would also come to a halt to avoid hitting them.

However, that black vehicle did not stop, nor did it slow down. Instead, it further accelerated. By the time Su Xueyi reacted, that vehicle was already charging toward them.

“Ah!”

“Peng!” With a frighteningly loud sound, the cars collided forcefully.

Su Xueyi’s originally composed face instantly turned stiff and pale. She sat in the car, dumbstruck. Her car had stopped by the road, but with the collision, it was pushed two to three hundred meters away. The roadside railings were distorted by the force of her car. If the other party continued driving against them, her car would immediately be pushed off the fence. This road was built against T City’s river; the road was built high, and the river was deep. If her car were to roll off, there was no way she would escape alive.

She stared in disbelief at the concave indentation left on her car by the collision. Her face was pale.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Xueyi gradually raised her head. She stared at that unscratched off-road vehicle in fear.

The other party had made such a precise collision, directing the hardest part of their vehicle onto them. Was it the bodyguard Mo Jingshen had arranged to be by Ji Nuan’s side or was it… Mo Jingshen himself?

Su Xueyi stared ahead in fright. Finally, when the door of the black vehicle was opened, and Mo Jingshen’s silhouette alighted, she abruptly felt her blood turn cold-

—-

T City’s Underground Bar.

The stuffy room door was once more opened only for a few minutes. Ji Nuan could barely breathe from the suffocating, humid air in here. Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat. When the door was opened, she subconsciously raised her head. Although her eyes were covered by a piece of black fabric, she still carefully listened to sounds nearby.

“Is it her?” An unfamiliar and rough voice asked.

Someone gave an affirmative answer, and others appeared to address the man who had spoken as ‘Boss.’

Ji Nuan knitted her brows. Although she did not know much about T City’s underground bars, typically, these sort of bars were deeply embroiled in all kinds of criminal activities. These people were definitely not good people and most likely walked on the illegal side of society, interacting with the underworld.

Since Su Xueyi could even contact these sort of people, Ji Nuan could not help but suspect what type of activities she was involved in Los Angeles.

“Her looks are not bad. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such a beautiful one. Her skin is also smooth and white. She’ll definitely be able to sell for a good price. Bring her over.”

Afterward, someone removed the black fabric over Ji Nuan’s eyes. Ji Nuan squinted, unable to adjust to the bright lights in the room. Before she could get a clear look of anyone, her ponytail was suddenly released. Her long, black hair flowed messily down her back.

“Good. This makes her look more beautiful, delicate, and pitiful. Wipe her face clean. We’ll begin the sale ten minutes later.”

Ji Nuan forced her eyes open only to see a man with a knife-wound scar on his face. The big and burly man wore a black windbreaker and had a cigar between his lips. He judged her figure and looks, gave several more orders, and turned to leave.

The room was only left with several men who looked like bodyguards or underlings. They brought an ice-cold towel and harshly wiped it against her face. The force caused Ji Nuan’s face to ache. She glared at them; they did not remove the cloth stuffed into her mouth.

“What are you glaring at? Be more obedient!” The man wiping her face coldly reprimanded before gripping her chin. He roughly said, “This little girl is indeed not bad. After she’s sold for a good price tonight, I wonder if Boss will let us play for a few days before sending her to the Philipines. Look at this little face; it’s indeed white and smooth…”

As he spoke, the man touched Ji Nuan’s face and moved to kiss her cheek. Ji Nuan shifted her face away with a look of disgust; her eyes were filled with rage and nausea as she glared at him.

“Fuck, try glaring at me again? This old man will dig out your eyes!” The man spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground, upset at her attitude. If his boss hadn’t said that they would sell her for a good price later, he really wanted to tear her clothes apart right now.

Ji Nuan kept glaring at him. The man used the towel and forcefully wiped her neck and face again. He used a lot of force, causing her pale skin to turn red before stopping. He then ordered the other people to bring her out.

Afterward, just like in her previous life, she was tied up and thrown onto the bar stage like meat served up on a chopping board. Her blouse was slightly tugged down her shoulders, revealing her smooth, white shoulders. Afterward, it was covered by her long black her, half-concealing and half-revealing. Her lips were sealed, her eyes struggling to conceal her fear and helplessness as she coldly returned the gazes of the people in the bar. With her beautiful face, they could not help but be interested.

Afterward, she did not pay attention to the prices they offered. She was immediately brought down after the buyer was confirmed.

She was thrown into an underground room in the bar. Her body remained tied up, and she laid curled up on a single bed. Although she was underground, this place was clearly prepared for those sort of people. It was a tiny room, but it was beautifully and luxuriously decorated with a European touch. Even the bed she laid on was not cheap.

There were even all sorts of candles, whips, handcuffs, and other tools…

At this moment, there was only a faint wall light illuminating the room. She narrowed her eyes, carefully listening to the noise outside.

After tossing her in here, those people must have left to complete some work or some business. They had already left for several minutes.
