Sally had a bright smile on her face and she pretended to hold Su Huaiyue's arm intimately.

"Huaiyue, are you very familiar with Wei Che? Do you believe he can really bring in reinforcements?"

This was the fourth time she mentioned Wei Che tonight. Su Huaiyue keenly sensed something and started to act dumb.

She pretended to be nonchalant and said to Sha Li: "Actually, my relationship with Wei Che is not that good. I don't know where he went. Did he go to get help?"

As she spoke, she tried to keep her tone gentle, her eyes casually scanning the surroundings.

There seemed to be some dark shadows moving quietly in the depths of the woods, and she became alert.

Sha Li raised her eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by Su Huaiyue's attitude, "Really? I thought you were all fine."

She said with a smile, but her eyes never left Su Huaiyue, as if she was waiting for something.

Su Huaiyue answered thoughtfully: "He always doubts me, as if he is my enemy."

She spoke lightly, trying to hide her inner panic.

However, she was keenly aware that Sally had not let her guard down, which made her even more uneasy.

In secret, Shali made a gesture behind Su Huaiyue's back.

Shadows moved quietly in the woods, and occasionally a black shadow jumped from one tree to another, as if an invisible giant net in the forest was slowly surrounding them.

The surrounding vegetation smelled strong, with the scent of wet earth and fallen leaves, and there was a lingering tension in the air.

Occasionally a breeze blew by, bringing with it a fresh scent mixed with grass and moss, and also causing Su Huaiyue's long hair to rise slightly.

She stared at the shadows closely, the alarm in her heart vibrating like a plucked string, guiding her every quick reaction.

At this moment, several black-clad messengers slid out from the trees silently like ghosts. Their clothes blended perfectly with the environment, and their movements were so light that they seemed to blend into the breeze of the forest. They formed a silent but powerful encirclement, locking the two of them tightly.

As they approached, an inexplicable sense of oppression surged like a tide, making the atmosphere in the entire forest instantly tense and solemn. The leader said coldly, "Where is Wei Che?"

Su Huaiyue's heart was shocked, but a bewildered look appeared on her face: "I really don't know, he never told me where he was going."

The man in black obviously didn't believe it. He just paused slightly and then gave a look.

Several black-clad messengers immediately took action. In the gaps when the black-clad men moved, Su Huaiyue sneaked a peek and saw a strange look flash across Shali's face, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Before the dark dizziness came over him, Su Huaiyue just closed his eyes gently, trying to make himself more awake.

However, the severe pain from the back of her head made her lose control instantly, and everything in front of her was silently swallowed by darkness.

The moment her consciousness faded, she seemed to hear the echo of her own rapid heartbeat, as if reminding her that she must persevere.

In her hazy coma, her other senses gradually became blurred.

She vaguely felt the rough ground rubbing against her body, as if she was being dragged forward.

The face above appeared and disappeared - it was Sally.

Sally's face was filled with helplessness and complicated emotions. She seemed to blame herself, but was powerless to do anything. Her curly hair danced in the breeze, and her eyes, which usually flashed with sharp insight, now looked extremely dim.

When Su Huaiyue opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dark and damp room.

The surrounding stone walls had a cold sheen and were soaked in a lingering moisture.

Her head was still a little dizzy, but she had to force herself back to reality.

The only light source in the room came from a tiny ray of light leaking in from the cracks in the corners of the walls, casting a gloomy hue on the cold environment.

Su Huaiyue turned her head and saw Sally tied to the beam, swaying faintly, her body trembling slightly.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her lips were pursed and pale, full of despair and helplessness.

The once flexible wrists were now tied red, as if destined to disappear in this endless darkness.

The long period of hanging made her face as pale as paper, but she still tried hard not to let her emotions collapse.

The sound of dripping water could be heard from all around the room, ticking, just like the greedy time destroying people's nerves.

The pipes on the wall crisscrossed, leading to nowhere, as if mocking their predicament.

Su Huaiyue knew that they were now locked in this desolate cage like trapped beasts, and her heart was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

She sat there quietly, her consciousness gradually becoming clear.

Su Huaiyue knew that he must not be dominated by fear.

The more dangerous the moment, the more you need to stay calm.

Sally's faint breathing could be heard all around, and it was obvious that she had regained consciousness.

Sally's eyes revealed despair, and she looked over apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was forced to do this. They wanted to deal with you, but I wanted to survive..."

Yes, when people want to save their lives, they will not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of others, as long as the person who dies is not themselves.

However, her current situation did not allow her to worry about these things. Su Huaiyue asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is this?"

"I don't know either."

Su Huaiyue had no hope for her and began to look around, hoping to get some useful information from the surrounding environment.

"You finally woke up."

Suddenly a cold voice came from the corner.

The two looked back and saw Zhang Qu slowly walking out from the shadows with a sneer on his face.

His eyes moved between Su Huaiyue and Sha Li, and he was obviously quite satisfied with the situation.

Su Huaiyue tried to remain calm. She looked at Sha Li with a hint of doubt, then turned to Zhang Qu, "Aren't you husband and wife? Why are you enemies now?"

She deliberately looked confused to test the other party's bottom line.

Zhang Qu snorted, his tone full of disdain, "That woman betrayed me, and this is what happened."

He looked at Sha Li with a glare like a knife, then turned to Su Huaiyue, "Now, if you don't want her to die, make me three hundred poison pills. You only have one day."

Hearing this, Su Huaiyue's heart sank suddenly.

She looked up at Sally who was struggling helplessly on the ceiling, feeling mixed emotions.

On the surface, she remained calm. "Making poison? Do you think one day is enough?"

Zhang Qu picked up a sharp knife and played with it gently in his hand. "I don't care about that. I only care about the result."

There was no sign of compromise in his eyes, and his determination cut through the air.

Su Huaiyue knew that the negotiations were fruitless, and she was thinking quickly in her mind.

"Okay, I'll try."

She sighed, having made her decision, but her hands couldn't help but clench her cuffs.

It seems that these people are anxious and want to implement their plans as soon as possible.
