Chapter 1777: Chapter 1778: She Couldn’t Have Suffocated, Right?

“The young master and the madam are different. The madam rarely pays attention to entertainment news, so she might not have noticed the news about the Young Madam online. The young master will definitely see the news about the Young Madam. How do you plan to explain it to him?”

Li Shengxiao’s throat moved, and his voice was hoarse and gravelly, “Tell him that Rong Yan is having some trouble and that he should be good.”

Gu Ming immediately understood.

Mr. Li’s intention is not to tell the young master about the Young Madam’s kidnapping, only to admit that the Young Madam is in trouble. This way, the young master will think the Young Madam is just temporarily detained at the police station in Capital City.

“…That’s good too, to keep the young master from worrying about the Young Madam.”

He looked up, gazing at the man’s weary face, his myriad thoughts simplified into a dry comfort, “Mr. Li, the Young Madam will be safe and sound.”

Li Shengxiao raised an eyebrow, his eagle-like eyes briefly glancing at him, noticing the worry and unease on his face. He paused for a breath, looking in the direction where Zhou Xia and Shen Siyuan were taken away, and his Adam’s apple moved, “Yes. She will definitely be safe, and I won’t allow anything to happen to her!”

So Yanyan, wait for me.

…

When Rong Yan woke up, everything was dark. Instead of screaming, she calmly observed her surroundings.

She felt thick wooden boards all around. Her surroundings were tightly sealed, with only a few small holes drilled by a machine at the top.

The holes were very small, each about two millimeters wide, not even enough for a finger to go through. They seemed to be left solely for her to breathe.

Once her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, she leaned against the holes to look outside, only seeing vague, shaky silhouettes.

Uncertain whether the people outside were good or bad, she dared not let them find out she was awake and instead pressed her ear against the edge, trying her best to listen to their conversations.

After listening for quite a while, she was surprised to find that they were all speaking in English, at a fast pace, definitely not the way locals would speak English, but rather like a group of foreigners chatting together.

Why were there so many foreigners?

She vaguely remembered seeing Zhou Xia and the driver in front also fall before she passed out, but she didn’t see Zhou Xia or the driver, meaning those people were with her?

“Ugh.” Just as she tried to think, her nerves were pulled tight and ached intensely.

She knew why this was happening; she had inhaled too much anesthetic earlier, and her brain and body were still recovering.

She tried clenching her fists.

Indeed, her hands were so weak she couldn’t even form a fist.

Her brain buzzed incessantly, and Rong Yan bit her lip as she assessed her own condition. Her clothes were properly on her body, but her bag and wallet were missing.

Her wallet contained her ID card, credit cards, etc…

Besides the sound of a group of foreigners chatting, she could vaguely hear the sound of waves lapping…

Rong Yan leaned against the edge of the wooden crate, hugging her knees, deep in thought.

“Chat, chat, chat, each of you, isn’t anyone keeping an eye on the crate? Don’t let the person inside escape, or the boss will skin you alive.”

“Hehe, we’re all here, and there’s no sound from the wooden crate. Can she turn into air and fly away?”

“No sound inside?” The female voice sounded doubtful, “I didn’t use much anesthetic. She should’ve woken by now.”

“How would I know, I didn’t hear any sound from inside.”

“Damn! Could she have suffocated?”
