Chapter 48
Seeing that she was about to be dragged into some building, Lin Yuanyuan started struggling again.
"Let me go! Where are you taking me!?"
This feeble struggle was completely futile in shaking the hands that were holding her, and Lin Yuanyuan could only be forced to move forward.
Zhou Ye walked ahead without looking back, seemingly not worried at all that she would run away.
Zhou Ye didn't take Lin Yuanyuan directly to his private room. He genuinely wanted to scare this spoiled young lady, so he deliberately took her up to the 7th floor.
This is a floor that even VIP members are not allowed to set foot on, and it is also the training ground for all the service personnel in this building.
The entire floor was opened up and divided into two parts: one half consisted of stacked, oversized dog cages, and the other half contained neatly arranged cross-shaped, triangular, T-shaped, and other types of racks.
In the very center was a huge octagonal cage, with one person standing and one kneeling inside, and many people kneeling on the ground surrounding the cage in concentric circles.
The lighting was dim, and the atmosphere was eerie. Lin Yuanyuan turned pale with fright at the scene before her, and almost fainted from heart palpitations.
What kind of terrifying concentration camp is this?! How could Zhou Ye have such a place? And what does he want to do by bringing her here?
The last conjecture was too terrifying. Lin Yuanyuan bit her lower lip tightly, and the metallic taste in her mouth couldn't wake her up.
The person restraining her seemed used to this. When he sensed Lin Yuanyuan trembling abnormally, he skillfully took out some nitroglycerin pills from his bag and fed them to her.
Run! Run! Run!
Zhou Ye's leisurely pace seemed out of place here. Hearing the noise, the person standing in the octagonal cage stopped what he was doing, leaving the person kneeling on the ground to collapse into a puddle of mud.
"Boss." The man who came out of the octagonal cage bowed to Zhou Ye.
"You go about your business, I'll bring your sister-in-law up here to broaden her horizons." Even if Zhou Ye didn't like Lin Yuanyuan, she was still his woman to him.
He wouldn't be so generous as to let his woman be openly trained among a group of slaves.
The man nodded after hearing Zhou Ye's words, gave Lin Yuanyuan, who was cowering in the back and dared not approach, a cryptic smile, then returned to the cage and picked up the tools he had just used.
Soon, cries of agony and pleas for mercy rang out again.
“Why don’t you come over? I specially brought you up here to observe and learn.” Zhou Ye walked to Lin Yuanyuan’s side, gently patted her head, then grabbed her hair and forced her to lift her head.
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully. See which tool you like best. I can let you use it first later~"
Feeling the trembling fear in the person under his grasp, Zhou Ye felt a sense of relief wash over him. Looking at the once spoiled and willful little princess, now looking so pitiful, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms to comfort her.
"If you continue to be this obedient, I'll hang you up like that dog later."
Zhou Ye pressed his ear close to Lin Yuanyuan's, his breath brushing against her earlobe, but the scorching heat only made her feel as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She couldn't say a word; her mind was blank. She frantically tried to recall any possible escape routes she had seen on her way up.
"Come on, young lady, do you need someone to help you?"
Zhou Ye gently tucked a strand of hair behind Lin Yuanyuan's ear. The movement appeared gentle and tender, but his eyes were full of threat.
Lin Yuanyuan dared not disobey and followed his force, turning around and walking towards the stairwell.
She remembered that the elevator was located in a separate room, so where would the stairs be?
Although she was already thinking about how to escape, Lin Yuanyuan didn't show it on her face. She still shrank her neck and looked trembling with fear.
In the elevator, she acted as if she couldn't stand on her own without leaning against the wall, hiding at the very back.
Zhou Ye was on his own turf, and seeing Lin Yuanyuan's obedient demeanor, he naturally walked at the front. Even his bodyguards weren't allowed to set foot on his private floor without permission.
So when the elevator doors opened, only Zhou Ye and Lin Yuanyuan came out, while the two bodyguards continued to take the elevator back to the first floor.
A great opportunity! The fifth floor was much more exposed, and Lin Yuanyuan quickly found the escape route, which had not been deliberately hidden, by using her loose hair as cover.
Right across from the elevator, taking advantage of the moment Zhou Ye opened the door to her private room, Lin Yuanyuan darted in and pulled open the emergency exit door, running inside.
Thankfully, she hadn't worn high heels since she twisted her ankle after falling while wearing them and being discharged from the hospital.
Her well-fitting sneakers allowed her to walk briskly up the stairs, maintaining a steady pace even when descending three steps at a time.
As she ran, Lin Yuanyuan kept an eye on the sounds behind her. She didn't know if Zhou Ye had noticed her or when he would catch up.
Furthermore, it's uncertain whether someone will be waiting for you on the first floor after you run down.
Run! Run fast!
Lin Yuanyuan had only one thought in her mind: she had to escape. If she was caught and brought back, she would definitely die!
Zhou Ye noticed Lin Yuanyuan as soon as she opened the fire escape door, but he wasn't in a hurry to chase her. The game of chasing prey is what makes it interesting.
He knew she wouldn't be so obedient. The two bodyguards who had just gone down were already waiting at the door. Now he just needed to slowly take the elevator down.
Then you can enjoy the despair and collapse on Lin Yuanyuan's face as she was captured again after being chased and expelled.
Zhou Ye pressed the button for the first floor, looked up at the elevator panel, and felt a long-lost excitement.
This emotional boost was quite good, so he decided that when he whipped her later, he wouldn't need the barbed whip.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Zhou Ye walked into the lobby, waiting for the bodyguards to bring him up.
"Young Master Ye." Upon seeing him come down, someone immediately came forward to greet him and await his instructions.
Where are they?
Surprisingly, the bodyguard wasn't in the lobby. How did he manage to escape?
Zhou Ye grinned cruelly, "If they let the person escape, send them to the 7th floor."
"Don't worry, Young Master Ye. Although Miss Lin rushed out of the gate, she has been stopped."
"Then why haven't you brought them back yet?"
The man was slightly bowing, about to explain something, but Zhou Ye had already lost his patience: "Alright, I'll go see for myself."
When Lin Yuanyuan rushed out, two bodyguards were standing in the middle of the hall, but fortunately, they had their backs to her.
It seems that Zhou Ye had anticipated that she would run away, so he had them block her here.
Lin Yuanyuan's heart sank, but she quickly regained her composure.
In any case, she at least has to get out of this door.
Hiding behind the door, Lin Yuanyuan calmly observed the route through the crack in the door.
It was uncertain whether the two bodyguards were strength-based or agile, so the later she was discovered on her way out, the better.
The numbers on the elevator behind her were decreasing one by one; she didn't have much time left!
rush!
Holding her breath, Lin Yuanyuan unleashed unimaginable power. When the two bodyguards reached out to her, she nimbly twisted her waist and dodged them all!
The moment Lin Yuanyuan rushed out of the gate, she felt free. She shouted to the pedestrians on the roadside, "Help...!"
Before the sound could be finished, it was slapped back into his mouth by an iron hand: "Ugh!"
She's been caught!
Lin Yuanyuan stared wide-eyed, desperately searching for pedestrians on the roadside, hoping someone could see her reluctance in her eyes.
However, her efforts were in vain. Even if passersby accidentally glanced over, they hurriedly avoided her as if she were avoiding a plague.
"Excuse me, excuse me. We are doctors, and these are our patients. They accidentally wandered out, we're so sorry!"
One man covered Lin Yuanyuan's mouth, while another man bowed and apologized to passersby.
Lin Yuanyuan then realized that the two bodyguards were actually wearing white coats that represented doctors, with "XX Mental Hospital" clearly written on their chests!
"I'm not! I'm not mentally ill!" Lin Yuanyuan tried to shout. Her struggle was so intense that even a grown man who regularly works out was somewhat unable to control himself.
However, the image of that white coat was too authoritative in the minds of passersby. Even if a few people stopped for a moment, they would quickly turn their heads away and leave when they saw Lin Yuanyuan's hysterical appearance.
After a whole day of struggling, Lin Yuanyuan was completely exhausted. Her eyes dimmed, and she was utterly despondent.
Am I really going to be arrested and become one of those dogs?
That's worse than death!
Lin Yuanyuan's eyes hardened again as she thought of the most common way to die in period dramas—biting her tongue to commit suicide.
"Let her go!"
Just as Lin Yuanyuan had placed her tongue on her teeth and was about to exert force, she finally heard a heavenly, redeeming sound.
After chatting with the screenwriter, the three of them went out for a meal. Shi Ru and Zhu Yu were about to return to the studio to discuss work again when Zhu Yu suddenly had the idea to take another look at the beauty salon. That's why Shi Ru made a special detour to this place.
They had parked their car across the street and were trying to see something through the window using their phone's zoom function.
Who knew that the enlarged camera would first spot Lin Yuanyuan, who was pinned to the ground?
Zhu Yu immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and rushed out.
"Let her go!" Zhu Yuli shouted.
Seeing that someone had stepped forward to intervene, pedestrians on the roadside gradually gathered around.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We're not bad people. We're doctors from the mental hospital next door. This is our work ID."
The two completely ignored Zhu Yu's attempts to stop them, and skillfully took out an employee badge from their shirt pockets, which clearly stated that they were the doctors next door.
"Is she really a doctor? What illness did this young woman have when she was so young?"
A kind-hearted middle-aged woman stepped forward, took a closer look at the work ID, and then looked at Lin Yuanyuan, who was being held down on the ground with tears in her eyes.
"This patient has schizophrenia. One of his seven personalities has committed a crime and he is currently receiving personality removal treatment at our hospital."
"Holy crap! Someone's been injured!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took a step back, and some even came up to advise Zhu Yu: "Young lady, you mean well, but don't let your good intentions backfire. This person is crazy. Don't let her pitiful state lead you astray. The doctor is trying to help her!"
"That's right, that's right! Mentally ill people can kill without being punished, we absolutely cannot let her out!"
