Cheng Xiao Kui was certain that she was hearing a man's footsteps, because the footsteps were similar to Si Muyang's, but with some differences.
The footsteps were heavier, as if the man was burdened with more worries.
Unsurprisingly, the man pushed open her door.
The man's footsteps grew closer and closer, until he reached Cheng Xiao Kui's bedside.
Cheng Xiao Kui kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. She was certain that she was talking to this man the moment before she lost consciousness.
She thought the reason she suddenly lost consciousness was that the man had drugged her or something similar.
But to be honest, she racked her brains for a long time but still couldn't figure out how the man had drugged her.
What does this person want to do with her after kidnapping her?
Just as Cheng Xiao Kui was analyzing the strength of the enemy and herself with a myriad of thoughts, a man's deep voice struck her head.
"Still pretending to be asleep? I know you're awake. I know better than you how much medicine I gave you and how long its effects will last."
In the silence, there wasn't a sound at all; if you listened carefully, the man could hear his own even breathing.
But Cheng Xiao Kui's breathing wasn't among those sounds.
The man's eyes narrowed instantly in the darkness. This was completely wrong. The dosage of the drug he had given her was not fatal at all, so how could Cheng Xiao Kui not even be breathing?
He reached out to feel Cheng Xiaokui's pulse on her neck.
However, just as his fingertips touched Cheng Xiao Kui's neck...
Cheng Xiao Kui suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Cheng Xiao Kui used all her strength to pull the man towards her, and then used her other hand to lock his throat with lightning speed.
At this moment, the two people on the bed are in different positions. The man is lying down with one hand raised above his head and pressed down on the bed by the woman. The woman's other hand is locked around his throat, while his other hand is pressed down by the woman's knee.
He could sense that Cheng Xiao Kui had used all her strength to do this.
The words escaped his throat as he said, "Heh, you've got some nerve, daring to ambush me? You were holding your breath the whole time?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "If you don't want to die, take me out of here!"
What she said was very intimidating, at least that's what she thought.
The man said, "Take you out? Why should I? Besides, do you really want to go out? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
As Cheng Xiao Kui listened to the man's words, she almost thought there was something wrong with her ears.
She said, "You're giving me a chance to stay? Why would I need you? Who wants to stay? I'm leaving!"
The man said, "If you want to leave, it's easy. Just say the word, and I'll let you go. Why go through all this trouble? Aren't your hands tired from gripping me?"
Cheng Xiao Kui gripped the man's throat with all her might, but strangely, she found that the man's voice didn't change at all.
It was as if she was choking him, yet she had no effect on him whatsoever.
Cheng Xiao Kui's mind was buzzing. She had heard that some people practiced martial arts by training their throats, but she never expected this man's martial arts skills to be so high.
Although she lost in strength, she absolutely could not lose in spirit.
She said through gritted teeth, "How long can your kung fu last? I can keep pinching you indefinitely!"
The next moment, she heard the man's low laughter, which sounded like mockery or sarcasm.
Just as Cheng Xiao Kui was racking her brains for a solution...
The man suddenly raised his arm and flung her hand away.
It was only at this moment that Cheng Xiao Kui realized how strong this man was.
The next instant, the man grabbed Cheng Xiao Kui's knee with his other hand and lifted her leg up.
Cheng Xiao Kui panicked instantly; this posture was wrong!
As she pulled her hand away, the man's large hand gripped her shoulder tightly, pressing her against the headboard.
At this moment, Cheng Xiao Kui had no leverage whatsoever; she was completely under the man's control.
However, to her surprise, the man only held her for a few seconds before letting go.
He seemed to dislike this boring game. He got out of bed and stood by the bedside, saying, "If you want to leave, you can leave now!"
Cheng Xiao Kui looked at the man in surprise.
There was no light in the room, but there was light in the hallway.
So, with the light from the corridor, she could vaguely see the man's body.
She said, "You're letting me go? You're letting me go now? You won't regret it?"
The man said, "Why should I regret it? But we have a deal. If you want to leave, you can leave. Once you leave, you won't have the chance to stay. If you want to stay, you'll have to kneel down and beg me!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said with a sneer, "I may not be as strong as you, but I'm not stupid! Who wants to stay in this godforsaken place?"
She jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room.
A man's voice drifted from behind her, "Now that you're gone, Si Muyang is useless to me. I'll just kill him!"
Cheng Xiao Kui suddenly stopped, because she had moved too fast and almost strained her back.
She turned around and asked, "What did you say? Si Muyang? Si Muyang is in the military compound! Don't try to threaten me with him."
To be honest, her heart skipped a beat when the man mentioned Si Muyang.
Because this man was so bold as to let her go, she began to suspect that he might have some kind of leverage over her, which was why he wasn't afraid of her leaving at all, since she couldn't leave anyway.
Just as she had guessed, the moment she ran out the door, the man uttered Si Muyang's name.
The man said leisurely, "He's not in the military hospital, he's in my hands! Do you want to see him?"
