Chapter 63 Unable to escape, calling for reinforcements
As Shen Shuangmiao approached, she saw that Zhu Jin was holding a piece of paper, which was her surgical report from a few days ago.
Her breath hitched, and she instinctively wanted to back away, but her body remained stiff and wouldn't move.
The hem of her nightgown was too long and fell to the ground. Shen Shuangmiao accidentally stepped on it with her heel, instantly lost her balance, and crashed into the door.
With a sudden, soft sound, Zhu Jin's silent tears came to an abrupt halt.
Shen Shuangmiao hurriedly grabbed the door frame to steady herself, and looked up to meet Zhu Jin's eyes, which were suddenly staring at her.
Those eyes, which once held tenderness and love for her, now gleamed with pain and anger.
The next second, Zhu Jin suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the chair.
He walked a few steps to Shen Shuangmiao and gripped her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, with a force that seemed to crush her bones.
Shen Shuangmiao almost cried out in pain, gasping, "What are you doing? Zhu Jin, let me go!"
Zhu Jin sneered, "You... not only did you abort our child, but now you also want to secretly watch how much pain I'm in?"
The force on his wrist was great, and his palm was very hot, so hot that Shen Shuangmiao shuddered.
The shattered madness in Zhu Jin's eyes terrified her to the extreme.
"Let me go! Zhu Jin, let me go!" She struggled, using all her strength to break free from his grip, her voice filled with fear, "What right do you have to lock me up? This is illegal detention! Let me go!"
"Go?" Zhu Jin roared, grabbing her chin with his other hand and forcing her to look up at him.
The pain in his eyes was like a whirlpool trying to drag her into the abyss.
"Where are you going? To secretly kill my child again?"
“That’s not just your child! That’s mine too! I have the right to decide!” Shen Shuang retorted without thinking, stung by the accusation in his words.
"Your decision is to reject him and me, is that it?" He moved closer, his hot breath on her face, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her. "Shen Shuangmiao, you owe me! You owe us a child!"
"You're insane! Zhu Jin, you're absolutely insane!" She looked at the completely unfamiliar obsession and despair in his eyes and felt a chill run down her spine.
"Yes! I've gone mad! I've gone mad ever since you disappeared with my child!" He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely.
Zhu Jin forcefully pried open her teeth, swallowing all her sobs.
His arms were like iron hoops, tightly encircling Shen Shuangmiao's waist and back, pressing her firmly into his arms, as if he wanted to crush her and integrate her into his bones.
That way, she could never leave again, and she could never decide to disappear on her own.
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned by the sudden kiss. After a moment, she began to twist and struggle wildly. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she could only use her teeth as weapons.
She steeled her resolve and bit down hard.
The strong smell of blood instantly filled their mouths.
Zhu Jin felt the pain, paused, and the restraining force loosened slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Shuangmiao used all her strength to push him away and staggered backward.
His back slammed heavily against the cold wall of the corridor.
She didn't even have time to look at his bleeding lower lip and his increasingly dark eyes before she turned and ran wildly into the darkness downstairs.
Her skirt tripped her, and she didn't care about anything else, only knowing that she had to escape from here, to escape this mad Zhu Jin.
There were no footsteps following immediately behind.
Shen Shuangmiao dared not look back. Barefoot on the cold floor, she stumbled and rushed into the darkness, leaving only a small patch of dim yellow light behind her at the door of the study.
The cold doorknob was right in front of her, and she turned it sharply.
The door remained completely still.
It's obviously locked from the outside.
Just as she was trying to find another way, two figures appeared silently and blocked her way.
He is Zhu Jin's bodyguard.
Their eyes were calm and expressionless.
“Madam, please return to your room,” one of them said, his voice flat.
Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and despair poured over her body like ice water.
Forcing your way in is impossible.
She was forced back two steps by the invisible wall, a chill running down her spine.
The bodyguard left and closed the door.
Shen Shuangmiao slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Jin.
Zhu Jin still had obvious bloodstains on his lips, and after just one glance at her, he slammed the study door shut.
Shen Shuangmiao was on the verge of being overwhelmed by despair.
Until her gaze suddenly fixed on the real hair sofa in the living room.
Her phone!
The phone she thought Zhu Jin had thrown away or confiscated long ago was lying there quietly, its screen reflecting a faint glow in the darkness.
Shen Shuangmiao's heart pounded again, this time with the excitement of escaping from a desperate situation.
Zhu Jin was probably too angry to think straight, or he simply didn't expect her to run out of the bedroom and overlooked this.
Shen Shuangmiao forced herself to calm down. As she passed the sofa, her body turned slightly to the side with remarkable naturalness, and her fingers quickly brushed across the armrest.
The cold phone instantly slipped into the sleeve pocket of her large nightgown.
The movements were fluid, and no one saw them.
Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked up the stairs step by step.
Back in the master bedroom, she closed the door behind her and immediately pulled out her phone, her hands trembling.
The battery still has over 80% charge remaining.
Zhu Jinjin probably didn't even bother to check; he just wanted to trap her.
Shen Shuangmiao dialed Fu Xuan's number almost without hesitation.
The call was answered instantly.
"Miaomiao, is that you? Where have you been these past few days? I've been looking for you everywhere!" Fu Xuan's anxious voice came through the phone.
“Fu Xuan, listen, I don’t have time to explain right now,” Shen Shuangmiao lowered her voice and spoke very quickly, “I’m being held captive in Zhu Jin’s villa! I can’t get out, there are bodyguards all over the door!”
"What? You wait, I'm calling the police right now! I'm coming to save you right now!" Fu Xuan's voice instantly turned furious.
"No! Don't call the police!" Shen Shuangmiao hurriedly stopped her. "Calling the police is useless. You know Zhu Jin's methods. It will only anger him and make things worse! You... you can't do anything alone. You can't handle his bodyguards."
Fu Xuan on the other end of the phone fell silent, clearly aware of the vast difference in strength between himself and Zhu Jin.
Shen Shuangmiao bit her lip, thinking of someone.
Zhu Jin is not without flaws. He always has someone in his heart.
Zhou Wu, a woman he longed for but could not have, whom he married but deeply betrayed.
“Fu Xuan,” Shen Shuangmiao’s voice suddenly became unusually calm, even carrying a hint of desperate resolve, “Don’t come. Go find someone.”
"who?"
"Zhou Wu".
Shen Shuangmiao clearly uttered the name, "Find her, tell her my current situation, tell her that Zhu Jin went crazy because I aborted his child and locked me up, and ask her to come up with a solution."
"Zhou Wu?" Fu Xuan's voice was filled with astonishment and confusion. "Why would she help you?"
“She doesn’t need to genuinely help me,” Shen Shuangmiao said with a bitter smile. “She just needs to get rid of me, this stumbling block, from the villa. Hurry up, I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the phone, she quickly deleted the call log and hid her phone.
