Yi Yi was never picky; she accepted everything, no matter what it was. Even the person who brought her food was quite surprised, saying they had never seen a girl so calm even as a prisoner.
If it were anyone else, they would either scream and throw a tantrum, or refuse to eat or drink and beg for death. Only Yi Yi remained calm as always, as if she hadn't been kidnapped but was just here for a visit.
That day, Yi Yi had just taken a bite of the steamed bun the man had brought her when she untied the rope, sat on the ground, and closed her eyes to rest. Under normal circumstances, no one would come in during this time, and she could relax until the next meal arrived.
This place seems to be remote and isolated from the outside world, but since she can eat bread, steamed buns, and instant noodles, it means that they usually keep in touch with the outside world.
As long as she has contact with the outside world, then... could she also find an opportunity to send out the news of her imprisonment here and let Mu Nanxun know?
However, this is easier said than done.
"Squeak—"
The iron gate suddenly opened from the outside, catching Yi Yi off guard. She was about to tie herself up with rope to disguise herself when the people outside pushed the gate open and came in.
Yi Yi saw through the crack in the open door that there was a long corridor outside, and a burly man was guarding it, holding a gun.
The man who came in glanced at Yi Yi, then paused, probably not expecting that Yi Yi had broken free of the ropes at some point. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
At the same time, Yi Yi also noticed that he was holding an iron chain, something like shackles. A sense of unease rose in Yi Yi's heart.
With a "bang," the iron gate slammed shut.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable; you even fooled me. My master told me to use these shackles to restrain you, saying that you are too cunning and that a single rope cannot restrain you. I thought my master was overthinking it; what trouble could a delicate little girl like you cause? I didn't expect that I underestimated you."
The man, holding shackles in his hand, sat down next to Yi Yi.
Previously, Yi Yi had been blindfolded and could only hear the man's rough voice, without being able to see his face clearly. Based solely on her imagination, Yi Yi could never have imagined that a man with such a rough voice would have such a fair and clean face.
If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing shackles and his hoarse voice, which sounded like he had experienced countless hardships, anyone would think that this was the neighbor's son who was studying at university.
The man had a quiet, even handsome, appearance, but his entire demeanor sent chills down your spine. His eyes were dark, like empty black holes; when he stared at you, you felt as if you might be sucked into them at any moment.
Yi Yi unconsciously shuddered and moved further away from the man.
The man wasn't annoyed. He glanced at her indifferently and continued, "I'm sorry, I have to handcuff you. You'd better not resist. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to escape, but you'll also suffer unnecessary physical pain."
Yi bit her lip and looked at him weakly, "Would it be useful for me to resist?"
Whether she was seeing things or not, Yi Yi actually saw a faint smile on the man's face. It was less of a smile and more of a mechanical twitch of his facial muscles. Judging from this, he hadn't smiled in a long time and had forgotten how to smile altogether.
"Whether you resist or not, these shackles will still be put on you."
