In the darkness, she could not find a single thread of light. 0
When Ji Nuan woke up, all she could see was darkness. She struggled with all her might, but as she gradually used up her strength, she could only lay there limply.
She laid on a wide, long chair. Her hands were tied against the back of the chair while her legs were restrained with a rope. No matter how she struggled, she was unable to loosen the ropes. Her lips were also sealed with tape, preventing her from calling for help.
Her surroundings were completely pitch-black. When she woke up, she was completely unable to discern if her transmigration had been a dream and she was still trapped in that dark and boundless past life of hers. Perhaps, she was still locked in that barren, undeveloped village behind the mountains, waiting to be forcefully sold around by those group of villagers.
The dark was frightening, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.
All of a sudden, loud footsteps could be heard approaching from outside. Ji Nuan subconsciously shut her eyes.
With a creaking sound, the thick and heavy metal door was pushed open.
Two pairs of footsteps approached. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of sweat of unfamiliar men, causing one to feel disgusted. Ji Nuan kept her eyes shut and did not move.
"Did we pour too much drug on that cloth? Why is this little girl still unconscious?"
Who cares, Miss Su only said to bring her here. When the time is right, well send her out. Her life and death mean nothing to us!"
"She's so pretty. Isn't it a waste to send her away just like this? Shall we... play a bit first?"
"Play your ass. Miss Su told us to leave T City the moment were done. I suspect that this little girl's background is not simple!'
"Isn't she just a student from T University? What sort of background can she have at such a young age?"
"Don't ask so much! Immediately send her to that bar! If we don't send her to that place, we won't be able to obtain even a single cent of that remaining one million yuan we were promised! I don't even know who was it that leaked the information. There have been so many police cars patrolling this area! Be cleaner when you work! Since she is still unconscious, well send her away now to save us the trouble!"
At this moment, Ji Nuan abruptly opened her eyes. The two men held a pair of flashlight each in their hands. When they saw Ji Nuan open her eyes, they both appeared to jump in surprise. Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly in discomfort from the light and began releasing whimpering sounds.
"Big brother, is she trying to speak?"
"Uuuu..." Ji Nuan continued making more noises.
Hearing that her voice varied in pitch, as though she was really trying to tell them something, the two men exchanged glances but ultimately chose to ignore her.
She woke up so quickly; so troublesome! Quickly take her away!"
"Uuuu!" Ji Nuan widened her eyes, staring at them. Her hands were restrained, and her sealed lips prevented her from speaking. She could only stare at them in hope, alternating through the same three pitches.
"Big Brother, she really seems to be trying to say something..."
The other man finally gave Ji Nuan another look. As Ji Nuan was struggling and making noises, he abruptly ripped off the tape on her lips.
A sharp pain came from her lips. Ji Nuan could not pay any attention to that. In such a situation, she could not shout. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble onto herself.
She took a deep breath in and then said, "How much did the person offer you guys? Let me go! I can double the price! Do they still owe you one million yuan? If you let go of me, I can pay you that immediately!"
The moment she finished her words, the man slapped the tape back on her lips.
"Uu—" Ji Nuan stared at them sharply, repeating the same noises.
"Big brother, this..."
The man's face had a knife wound scar. He stared at Ji Nuan coldly. You want to keep your life, is it?"
Ji Nuan nodded frantically. Her eyes were sincere. She was certain that if these two men were only working for money, there would be an opportunity for her to turn the situation around.
You have money to pay us?" The man's expression remained suspicious.
Ji Nuan nodded once more. She released a 'uu' sound, in a definitive tone.
The money Miss Su gave us is her own portion. If you wish to buy your life from our hands, it won't be as simple as doubling the price" The cold-looking man suddenly gave her a dark, greedy grin. He shifted the glare of the flashlight across Ji Nuan's body, finally landing on her eyes. This forced her to shut her eyes and shift her head away. He said with a rough voice, "Based on your quality, if we send you to the underground bar that Miss Su directed us to, well definitely be able to obtain at least two million yuan for a night. Afterward, if we sell you onto a smuggling boat to the Philippines, we would be able to obtain another sum of money. If you wish to buy your life from our hands, how much can you offer?"
Ji Nuan's expression faltered. The two men's greedy expression was too obvious. She tried her best to maintain her composure, watching them searchingly in hopes of understanding where their limits laid.
"Big brother, she seems to be intentional delaying for time!"
When the person by the side spoke, that man immediately narrowed his eyes coldly at Ji Nuan."Don't think about wasting time to wait for help. Your life lies in our hands right now! My price is five million yuan. Are you giving or not?"
Ji Nuan's expression paused for only a moment before she nodded. Her gaze was sincere."En!"
"How will you give it? By chequer This man was much more careful and calm compared to his partner. He did not allow Ji Nuan to shout for help and paid attention to Ji Nuan's every change in expression. He watched as she shook or nodded her head.
Ji Nuan nodded."Uu!"
By the side, the other man's eyes lit up as though he was seeing a god of wealth. The two men exchanged gazes and suddenly hauled Ji Nuan up from the chair. The moment her hands were released from the rope, the man who was speaking to her immediately brought a blank check out from his pocket.
He forcefully pressed Ji Nuan onto the ground and tugged her hand up, shoving a pen over. If you want to keep your life, sign this check right now! Five hundred million yuan! Both the account holder name and amount! Write them down right now!"
Ji Nuan was held down on the floor. Looking at the blank cheque, she suddenly felt like scolding someone.
These two performed this show so well; they had clearly done this before and were well-versed in the ways of wealthy people. After saying so much, they clearly did not intend on letting her go, but were trying to squeeze more money out from the victim!
They even carried this sort of blank cheque with them at all times!
The opportunity and hope she had were instantly extinguished. She laid stiffly on the ground, unmoving. The pen was held in her hand, yet she firmly refused to write even a single word.
The man in front saw that she had clearly discovered the problem and was refusing to write anything. He stepped on the back of her hand, darkly and coldly warning her, If you don't wish to die, sign this right now!"
