Shengge looked at Xi Nian who was dying in the cell without saying a word. She was so distressed that it was difficult to breathe. She dug her nails into her palms to suppress the roaring anger in her body.
Ning Chengxu continued: "You can keep this child if you want, but you must stay in the small apartment in a good manner these days. You are not allowed to make any mistakes on our wedding day. I will let him go immediately after the wedding."
A year later, I sent him back to China with Yaoqing, and this time I was sincere."
Shengge pursed her lips.
With her alone, she could exchange for a child in her belly, years of peace, and a super virus cure.
She is not at a loss for this set of conditions.
"Okay, but you can't torture me for more than a year just to show my sincerity that I will get married honestly..."
She paused before speaking, then took the emerald ring off her finger, spread it out in her palm, and handed it to Ning Chengxu.
This is the only small personal weapon she has for self-defense. She voluntarily handed it over, which is indeed full of sincerity.
Ning Chengxu was very happy, "I won't beat him anymore. I will send a doctor over today to give him medicine, and then he will be taken care of by someone who eats and drinks well. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
"You'd better keep your word."
"Don't worry." Ning Chengxu smiled with an arched eyebrow, and thoughtfully checked the temperature of her hand warmer, "Let's go, it's too cold in the dungeon, and you're pregnant, so it's not suitable to stay longer."
Shengge didn't say anything. She looked at Xi Nian a few more times in distress, then turned and left.
...
As soon as they left, it seemed that the hands that had been hanging all night were finally put down.
His body fell to the ground, and he was awakened by the pain. His arms were somewhat dislocated and he could no longer use them.
He struggled to sit up, but his whole body lost strength again and fell into semi-consciousness.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Are you still alive?"
"Brother, if you can hear me, can you answer me?"
"Big brother......"
A concerned voice came from the cell next door. It was a girl, and she spoke Chinese, not European.
The consciousness that had been groggy for many years was awakened, and his dry throat softly let out a "hmm" in response.
Through the small iron window high on the wall, the obviously relieved voice of the girl next door came.
"Brother, what big mistake did you make to be imprisoned? Why did they give you such a severe sentence?"
Si Nian was lying on his back, looking weakly at the dark roof, "I wanted to steal something from the palace, but I was caught. However, even if I didn't do it, there is no need for a reason for a beast to bite someone."
The girl sighed, "Are you okay then? Are you hungry? Yesterday the guards brought food, and I secretly hid a steamed bun. If you want to eat, I will throw it over to you."
Meals are only delivered once a day in the dungeon. If you miss it, you will starve until the next day.
Si Nian's eyes moved to the small iron window high above the wall. Hearing the girl's voice, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Could she throw it?
"No, I'm not hungry. You can keep it for yourself."
He was a little curious about the girl's initiative to talk to him, "Did the news of the beating last night scare you? I dare to steal the palace, but you are not afraid of me?"
"I'm not afraid of you, but it was really scary last night. I couldn't sleep all night."
She curled up and pressed against the wall, holding back her tears, "I have been imprisoned for a few days. I don't understand European, but I heard you talking to that bad guy last night. I finally met someone who said
Chinese, I’m really afraid you’ll be beaten to death.”
If he was really beaten to death, she would be alone again, and no one would be able to talk to her.
Si Nian's lips curled into a smile, "You are so young, how come you are locked up here? What did you do?"
"I don't know why they imprisoned me. A few days ago, my father and I traveled abroad and slept in a hotel. When I woke up, I was imprisoned here. I didn't understand what they were saying."
Si Nian listened quietly, "What about your dad?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since I was imprisoned. I shouted at the door every day in the past few days, but no one responded to me. Maybe he is not here."
He didn't speak for a long time and thought about it carefully for a while.
What happened to this girl sounds like a transnational trafficking case.
