Qin Yang stood in front of the wooden door of the warehouse and saw a bunch of keys inserted in the lock.

I guess that person forgot to bring his key when he came out.

No wonder.

Tang Yu was so sure that he could rescue the people by himself.

Qin Yang opened the door.

Enter the warehouse.

At a glance, you can see three iron barrels with a diameter of one meter and a height of about one and a half meters.

Qin Yang checked it over.

It was filled with unhusked millet.

But there was no sign of Li Xuezhi.

Then he found a partition behind one of the metal barrels that was darker than the surrounding area.

Without a second thought, he pulled open the partition.

A passage extending downwards appeared before our eyes.

.......

Warehouse basement.

Li Xuezhi's hands and feet were tied, and she curled up in a corner with a pale face.

My heart is still filled with pain and disbelief.

It only took half a day to be sold here.

But she felt like half her life had passed.

The basement was pitch black.

There are also rats and cockroaches.

Li Xuezhi didn't feel scared.

Because in this world, human hearts are much more terrifying than these.

The two men who kidnapped her probably thought she would never be able to escape.

After selling her to a widower in his forties.

With a cruel smile, he said, "What do you think this place is? No woman can escape from here! I'm telling you, if you don't want to suffer, just accept your fate. If you want to blame someone, blame your good mother-in-law. Don't even think that anyone will come to rescue you. In your husband's eyes, you're just a slut who ran off with a wild man with money."

Li Xuezhi only felt her ears buzzing.

My legs gave way and I fell to the ground...

....

Whenever Li Xuezhi thought that Qin Yang might have believed what Old Lady Qin said, her heart was filled with despair.

Even if she died, she would carry her husband's misunderstanding and resentment with her.

No.

Even if I die.

I also want to die with a clear conscience.

Li Xuezhi huddled in the dark basement, clenched her fists, bit her lower lip so hard that blood oozed from her lips.

There was a sound of a partition opening above the warehouse.

Right now.

Access to the basement.

There was probably no one else except the widower who bought her.

My heart suddenly became nervous.

With his hands tied in front of him, he fumbled around on the ground, trying to find something to protect himself.

The other party's footsteps are getting closer.

Li Xuezhi opened her eyes wide and looked up in horror.

"Xuezhi, are you here?"

As if afraid of being discovered, the person came in a low voice, almost in a whisper.

But Li Xuezhi still heard a hint of familiarity.

Just when she was wondering if she was hallucinating.

The scene in front of my eyes suddenly brightened.

"!! Xuezhi!"

Qin Yang turned on the light, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward to hug his wife.

"Hubby... woooo, I must be dreaming, it really is you!"

Li Xuezhi relaxed all of a sudden, buried herself in his arms, tears streaming down her face.

Qin Yang hugged her tightly, his face rubbing against her hair, his voice trembling: "Xuezhi, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

His embrace was warm and real.

Li Xuezhi's heart was beating like a drum.

Not dreaming.

He really came to save her!

While the man was helping her untie the rope, she asked, "Honey, how did you know I was here?"

"It's a long story. The police will be here soon. Let's leave first."

As he spoke, he quickly helped her untie the restraints on her hands and feet.

When Qin Yang saw two deep red marks on his wife's snow-white wrist, even with the skin broken, he felt both distressed and angry.

She patted his hand soothingly, "I'm fine, let's go."
