Lin Yue'er walked to the window and looked out from here. There was a dense forest with no end in sight. If there was a chance to escape there, it would be an excellent hiding place, but survival there would also become a problem.
Especially since she was still pregnant with the baby, it was even more impossible for her to wait until someone came to rescue her.
Lin Yuer calmly lowered the curtains, frowning tightly.
But now, I can only find a way to contact Xi Cen first.
Lin Yue'er's freedom was not restricted, just like on the ship. She walked along the circular passage of the castle, and there was only one elevator that could go up and down, not even a staircase. The people here were like life
In the ivory tower, no matter who you see, they are all smiling and carefree.
In the big square downstairs, there were people singing and dancing. In this small enclosed world, it was like a prosperous time.
Lin Yuer walked into the elevator, no one stopped her, and someone even greeted her in a friendly way. Although she didn't understand the Vietnamese, their tone was friendly, and she knew that they were not hostile.
Following the elevator to the square, a beautiful girl ran over and wanted to invite her to dance together. Lin Yue'er smiled and shook her head. The girl was a little disappointed, but it didn't affect her good mood and ran back like a butterfly.
among those people.
Seeing them singing and dancing so unscrupulously, Lin Yuer always felt that their happiness was extremely inconsistent with this closed castle.
She followed the outer circle and walked around to the city gate that was more than ten meters high. She raised her head and looked at it. Jade City is a closed city. As long as the hanging door is pulled up and there are high walls around it, it will be difficult for outsiders to get in.
It's just like what Meimei said, you can get in but you can't get out.
At night, Lin Yuer was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
She missed Xi Cen, and she missed his body even more. It had been four days and he had not received any news from her. He must have been worried to death.
The inner anxiety made it difficult for her to sleep. Although Zero did not do anything to her, the days of living in unknown fear were the most difficult to bear.
She turned over again, trying to calm her manic mood, and closed her eyes to cultivate sleepiness.
Not only for yourself, but also for the healthy growth of the baby in your belly.
At this time, there was a faint cry from downstairs.
At first, she was sobbing quietly, but then it turned into a desperate wail.
Lin Yuer was suddenly startled, got up from the bed, came to the door, put her ear against the door, and listened carefully.
The crying became more and more miserable.
She gently pushed the door open, and it was unlocked, still giving her enough freedom.
The large square on the first floor is brightly lit at the moment.
Lin Yuer walked out curiously, stood in front of the passage, and looked down.
I saw people standing all around the square, including bodyguards in black, guards in white, and some servants in the castle. Zero was sitting right in front, holding his chin in one hand, bored, eyes half-closed, and kneeling with a look.
The woman in front, Atuo, stood beside him with an expressionless face. Meimei and others stood on both sides with the same indifference.
In the center of the square, there was a woman in a white dress kneeling. She couldn't stop crying and begging. Her hair was very messy, blocking her originally beautiful face.
Lin Yuer's eyes widened, and she recognized that she was the girl who was sarcastic to her in the car today. She remembered her name, her name was Xiangxiang.
Xiangxiang cried, "Master Ling, I know I was wrong...I won't talk anymore..."
Ling lazily raised his eyes, "Xiangxiang, you really disappoint me."
"Master Ling, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Xiangxiang cried desperately, with tears stained on such a beautiful face, which made people feel pity. However, everyone present had cold eyes.
Look at her.
Ling glanced at Atuo next to him, "You know what to do."
Atuo didn't say a word, but walked straight to Xiangxiang. She was so frightened that she sat on the ground, "No...I don't dare anymore..."
Atuo grabbed her hair with one hand, and in the other hand he had a golden sign, the size of a palm, and slapped it against Xiangxiang's mouth.
"Well..." Xiangxiang couldn't even scream, and her mouth quickly turned red and swollen from being slapped. But Atuo's men were ruthless, and they still tried to compete with each other.
In the empty square, only this harsh sound could be heard.
Lin Yue'er's hand grabbed the guardrail and held it tightly. She couldn't tell whether it was fear or something else, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
Soon, Xiangxiang spit out blood from her mouth, and her mouth was bloody and bloody. Atuo's face was still expressionless, and his eyes were unwavering.
The audience present seemed to have been familiar with such a bloody and cruel scene for a long time, watching numbly without any reaction.
Lin Yuer turned around suddenly, closed her eyes, and covered her ears with her hands, not wanting to listen to Xiangxiang's suppressed helpless voice.
She quickly walked back to the room, closed the door, returned to bed, and pulled the quilt over her head, never wanting to see such a cruel scene again.
She still remembered the elegant and gorgeous curve at the corner of Ling's mouth.
He was appreciating it, as if appreciating the girls singing and dancing...
What a terrible man.
I don’t know how long the punishment in the square lasted, but Lin Yuer fell asleep close to dawn in a depressed mood.
"Sister Xiaoyue?" Meimei's lovely and sweet voice sounded in her ears.
She was startled, as if frightened, and shrank into a corner.
Meimei stood by the bed and looked at her in confusion, "Sister Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yuer's face was very ugly, pale, with dark circles under her eyes. She saw that it was Meimei, with such a cute smiling face, but she could not overlap with the numb and indifferent her last night.
Lin Yuer was confused. Was everything last night a nightmare she had had?
"Sister Xiaoyue, I'm here to ask you to have breakfast. After eating, we are going out."
Lin Yue'er looked away from the face that troubled her and whispered, "I understand."
"Then I'll go out first~" Meimei waved her hand, turned around happily, and left like a gust of wind.
Lin Yue'er stroked her eyebrows. She hadn't slept well all night. Her head hurt. However, what made her even more uncomfortable was the weird atmosphere here.
When she went out, the people around her were happy again, talking and laughing from time to time, and there were drums and singing in the square. It was as beautiful as if nothing had happened.
Seeing their smiling faces and the joyful atmosphere, Lin Yuer felt shuddering.
Their emotions were completely controlled by Zero One, wearing the mask he needed, laughing for him and fearing for him.
"Did you sleep well last night?" came a deep voice from behind.
Lin Yue'er lowered her eyes, turned around, with a very haggard expression, and said feebly, "Tell me, what is going on here?"
