Chapter 83 Born a Bad Seed

During the banquet, Lu Qingqing, who had been bickering with Wen Wanwan, suddenly fell silent. She glanced at the time and murmured, "It's been so long, why hasn't Yangyang come back yet?"

Xie Ran, who was nearby, overheard: "Yes, where's my wine?"

Wen Huai'an: "Didn't you say the wine cellar was far away? Maybe it's on the way? After all, the two sisters are traveling together, what problems could possibly arise?"

They had no idea of ​​Shi Yue's cunning and wicked nature.

“It’s those two sisters that I’m worried about.” Lu gently put on her coat. “No, I have to go check on them.”

A chair was pulled out across from them, and Ji Peiheng stood up as well: "I'll go with you."

Seeing their serious expressions, Xie Ran said, "If you ask me, don't exaggerate. I estimate I'll be back in a bit. Why don't you call ahead and ask?"

Ji Peiheng had already called, but no one answered.

Lu Qingqing was about to make another call when, before she could even press the dial pad, a flashing red code appeared on the screen.

She stood up abruptly, the movement causing the chair to scrape against the floor with a screeching sound.

Xie Ran was startled by her sudden outburst: "What's wrong?"

Lu said softly, "Yangyang is in trouble!"

This was a distress signal that Yangyang had set up with the help of her senior in computer science many years ago when she was in school, because she used to be locked up by Shi Yue from time to time, and it was uncertain where she would be locked up.

This distress code will be sent to her phone periodically whenever she senses that something might happen to her.

Since Shi Yue married and moved abroad, this code has never been used again.

Lu Qingqing practically ran the whole way, and when she turned around, she found everyone following behind her.

Ji Peiheng's expression was cold, and he exuded a dangerous aura. He was even faster than her.

The others sensed something was wrong and, of course, couldn't just sit there doing nothing.

A sense of unease crept into Ji Jinyu's heart. Yangyang had left with Ayue, and if Yangyang encountered danger, Ayue would likely be in grave danger as well.

Inside the pitch-black wine cellar, Shi Yang pressed his trembling shoulders and gasped for breath, trying to regulate his breathing.

Even with all the preparations made, even knowing that we would be saved soon.

I can't shake my fear of the dark!

In particular, the events that happened when she was seven years old left her with a traumatic experience that is difficult to heal. In addition, Shi Yue has repeatedly stimulated and tormented her with her psychological trauma since she was a child, which may make it impossible for her to cure her fear of the dark in this lifetime.

"Shi Yang, are you mute? Beg for mercy!"

Shi Yang leaned against the door, curled up, and gave a cold laugh.

Even if I die today, I will never beg for mercy!

Shi Yue had better pray that she went out later, otherwise this time she would definitely give Shi Yue a psychological trauma as well.

Shi Yue, standing outside the door, grew increasingly impatient. She had waited so long without hearing her beg for mercy. If this dragged on any longer, they would probably come looking for her.

"Ah Yue!"

Ji Jinyu called out.

A group of people gradually approached from a distance, and Shi Yue's heart sank.

How did they find us so quickly?

She immediately put on an anxious look, her eyes brimming with tears: "Come quickly! Yangyang is locked inside. This door can only be opened from the outside, but the key was left inside. I was just about to go back to find you."

There was nothing in Ji Peiheng's eyes; his deep gaze was fixed solely on that wooden door.

He only said one sentence: "Shi Yang, don't be afraid!"

His voice was calm, yet carried weight.

The sound reached the ears of the person separated by the wooden door.

Shi Yang felt as if a ray of intense sunlight shone in, dispelling the darkness and illuminating a path for her in the chaos.

She gave a soft "hmm".

Hearing the response from inside, Ji Peiheng finally relaxed a little.

Ji Jinyu asked Shi Yue, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, please hurry and save Yangyang, she's terrified of the dark. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone out to find staff to move the wine, and the door wouldn't have been blown shut by the wind, it's all my fault..."

"You rascal, it's you again!" Lu Qingqing jumped out from the side and slapped Shi Yue across the face.

Before Shi Yue could react, she kicked her hard, and Shi Yue was thrown to the ground by the sudden force.

Lu leaned in gently, grabbing her neck, her eyes bloodshot: "It's you again! You knew she was afraid of the dark and you still locked her up. Where's the key?"

Shi Yue was struggling to breathe as she was being choked. Looking at the ferocious-looking woman in front of her, only two words came to her mind.

This is insane!

This woman is insane!

"Shi Yue, wasn't it enough that you sold her off when she was little! You still bullied her! I'll strangle you!"

No one expected Lu Qingqing to suddenly launch an attack, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Ji Jinyu was the first to react, stepping forward to gently pull Lu away: "What's wrong with you!"

Shi Yue gasped for breath like a dying fish, her mind completely blank.

The crazy woman held nothing back.

She really felt like she was being strangled.

Lu Qingqing was about to step forward when Ji Jinyu blocked her way, shielding Shi Yue behind him, and warned, "Enough! Miss Lu, I know you're worried and confused. This was an accident, and Yue is innocent too. If you don't get to the bottom of things, I won't be polite!"

"Hehehe, I almost forgot about you, you shameless man! You blind fool, you two deserve to be a perfect match! You two should be locked up forever! You must invite me when you get married, I'll give you a thick red envelope! And ghost money! To commemorate you two!"

Ji Jinyu had never heard such harsh words in her life, and her eyes turned red with anger.

"boom!"

Everyone was drawn over by the huge commotion.

Ji Peiheng couldn't wait to contact the hotel staff to go back and get the key.

He used the simplest and most brutal method to kick the door open.

Shi Yang's huddled figure came into view.

Ji Peiheng's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly stepped forward to hug the person: "I'm here, it's alright!"

He regretted it!

He shouldn't have let her come to such a dark place!

He should keep her by his side!

Each time she flinched, it felt like a whip lashing his heart, and he trembled along with her.

...

"I should have strangled her! No, I should have killed her years ago! I'm so angry!!"

Lu Qingqing was so angry that her face turned red and she was sweating. She paced back and forth in the room, baring her teeth and grimacing, as if she wanted to vent her anger by cursing!

"And that Ji Jinyu, I should have kicked him in the face just now, that pretentious piece of trash!"

She cursed recklessly, disregarding Ji Peiheng's presence.

Shi Yang, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the bed, her hair, damp with cold sweat, still clinging to her face: "Qingqing, calm down!"

"Calm down? The fact that I haven't rushed out and killed her is the calmest thing I can do." Lu Qingqing gasped for breath. "That family of bastards, are you still going to tolerate them? Shi Yue was able to..."

When she realized there were others around at the crucial moment, she glanced at Ji Peiheng and stopped speaking abruptly.

"So, are you going to keep putting up with it?"

Shi Yang raised her head: "I can't bear it anymore."
