Tang Qiqi opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was darkness.
I glanced around with the light from outside, and damn, I found this place surprisingly familiar.
That was where she stayed when she made mistakes—a small dark room built just for her.
Tang Qiqi endured the pain and slowly stood up, stretching his muscles.
Fortunately, they were only minor injuries.
After walking a few steps, footsteps were heard outside and the door was opened a few seconds later.
The light came in, and the person pressed the switch, and suddenly the dark room was bright.
Tang Qiqi squinted slightly because of the dazzle, and when he saw the person standing in front of him clearly, he let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.
He walked slowly to the sofa and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
"If you can survive a week without eating, I definitely won't come." The man spoke with a hint of smile in his voice.
He put the things in his hand on the table, and seeing that Tang Qiqi was still lying there lazily and didn't want to move, he stretched out his foot and kicked him lightly, "Okay, stop pretending to be dead, get up and eat."
"He's not here, so you don't even want to pretend anymore, right?" Tang Qiqi frowned and stood up, patting the trouser leg that was touched by his shoe in disgust. "Just now you were calling me Miss all the time, so cool."
Hearing the complaint in her tone, the man chuckled, "You said it yourself. Privately, we are master and disciple. There's no need to be distant."
"Shouldn't you just call me Master?"
The man in front of him, who is about to turn 30, is the person who taught Tang Qiqi this set of kung fu - Jiao Gan.
On the surface, the two of them have a superior-subordinate relationship, but privately they are one of Tang Qiqi's few friends.
In the past, when she was locked up in a small dark room, he would bring her food, and sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would let her go out for a walk.
"Call you Madan." Still feeling the faint pain in his shoulder, Tang Qiqi cursed angrily, "You're such a jerk! I've never seen a master actually hit his apprentice."
"Master Tang brought me along, don't you have any idea?" Jiao Gan shrugged innocently. "Besides, if your fellow apprentices hadn't informed you in advance, you wouldn't have been able to get up with your small body."
"First, lend me your hand..."
In her current situation, the chances of her escaping are slim.
Even if the call didn't go through, she wanted to try calling Qi Yan again.
But at the critical moment, Tang Qiqi suddenly took back his previous words, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Who said hello just now?"
Seeing the person in front of him pursed his lips and his eyes avoided for a second, Tang Qiqi suddenly clenched his fists.
It hadn't been long since then, and the person she trusted was bribed by that man.
While secretly thanking himself for not lending the other person's phone to expose Qi Yan's presence, Tang Qiqi sneered, "He's still trying to give a heads-up? Is he trying to use up his remaining fatherly love?"
"Xiao Qi, actually Master Tang..."
Tang Qiqi interrupted without hesitation, "I don't want to listen."
"I've been with Master Tang for so many years, and the first time I saw him get furious was when I heard the news of your escape."
"The Tang family has been able to maintain its foundation for many years, relying not only on Master Tang, but also on the little bit of reputation they have accumulated. Now, outsiders who don't know the truth are saying that you ran away from your marriage."
"Do you know that the person you are running away from is..."
"Jiao Gan." Tang Qiqi's face darkened a little, and he threw the chopsticks in his hand to the ground, his brows full of annoyance. "You just need to answer me one question, will you help me?"
Jiao Gan frowned, remained silent for a few seconds, and sighed deeply, "Xiao Qi, don't you know what's going on now?"
"You...can't escape anymore."
