Chapter 161 The Strange Fragrance in the Room
Su Jiuyao was stunned. Was her expression so obvious?
Looking at Gu Hanye's bottomless eyes on the reflective glass, Su Jiuyao felt inexplicably panicked.
Whenever he looked at her like that, it was always bad news.
Su Jiuyao quickly turned around and broke free from his arms.
"I'll wash first."
After saying that, Su Jiuyao went into the bathroom as if escaping.
When Su Jiuyao changed into the silk nightgown prepared by the servant in advance and came out of the bathroom, she found that Gu Hanye had fallen asleep, and the room was filled with a strange fragrance.
Su Jiuyao understands medicine and is familiar with the smell and effects of various herbs.
The smell is very similar to a psychedelic spice made from a mixture of several herbs. It produces a strange fragrance when burned, and a small amount can calm the mind.
But if a large amount is inhaled, it will be a bit troublesome. People will feel dizzy, or even fall into a coma in severe cases.
Su Jiuyao felt the concentration of the smell in the room, which was definitely not a small amount.
But there was no smoke in the room. Su Jiuyao was afraid that she had made a wrong judgment, so she walked to the bed, called Gu Hanye's name, and shook his shoulders.
His breathing was a little rapid, but he never woke up.
Su Jiuyao believed that her guess was correct, so she quickly checked the room and soon found the source of the smell, which was a small essential oil aromatherapy machine placed on the ground.
She quickly turned off the aromatherapy machine and opened the window to ventilate the air, and only then did she feel a little refreshed.
Did the servants accidentally add too much essential oil?
Su Jiuyao felt that it must have been an accident. After all, the owner of the manor was Gu Hanye's distant uncle and it was impossible for him to do something wrong.
And the reason why Gu Hanye dared to stay overnight must be that he trusted the people here.
She calculated the time when the two of them came into the room. Although Gu Hanye was asleep, the amount he inhaled was not much, so she came to the bed again, wanting to wake Gu Hanye up and ask him to take a shower.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Su Jiuyao is probably the housekeeper, after all, it couldn't be anyone else.
Without thinking much, she opened the door.
The moment she saw the man in black outside the door, her blood froze instantly.
She recognized this person at a glance. He was the one who followed her during the day. It turned out that it was not her illusion!
Su Jiuyao turned around to call Gu Hanye, but it was too late.
A wet towel was covering her mouth.
There was a strange smell on the wet towel. Although Su Jiuyao didn't know what it was, she guessed that it must be a drug that would make her faint.
She wanted to hold her breath and use her elbow to hit the person behind her, but her head started to feel heavy. She wanted to shout for help, but could only make a whimpering sound. Finally, Su Jiuyao's eyes fell into darkness.
When Su Jiuyao woke up again, she found that it was pitch black all around. She could only hear the rumbling sound of machinery. There was a wet and salty smell all around, and the whole room was shaking.
She was confused for a moment, but quickly realized that she must be on a ship.
Su Jiuyao's hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was blocked with tape. She couldn't make a sound, let alone move. All she was left with was fear.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, let alone the current time.
Did Gu Hanye discover that she was kidnapped?
She thought again that Gu Hanye had fallen asleep and he was drunk, so wouldn't he not notice her disappearance the whole night?
But another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the other party wanted to knock them both unconscious and then kidnap them together.
Su Jiuyao felt around and found that there was no one else in the small warehouse.
In other words, Gu Hanye was not with her.
Who is the other party and why did he kidnap her?
Since that person was able to successfully sneak into the heavily guarded manor and bring her out, could it be the manor owner Li Shan who did it?
If it was Li Shan, what was his purpose? Was Gu Hanye in danger at this moment?
Su Jiuyao thought of countless possibilities in her mind, but could not come up with any results.
As time went by, the fear increased exponentially. Su Jiuyao could only open her eyes wide and silently tell herself not to panic and to stay calm.
Because she didn't know whether Gu Hanye would come, the only one she could rely on was herself.
At this time, the door made a clicking sound and a faint light came in. Su Jiuyao saw two men wearing black leather shoes walking in with murderous intent.
