Chapter 1706 There is someone in the room
The wind was howling outside and raindrops were hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows, which made people feel uneasy.
Su Jiuyao turned on all the lights in the room and closed the curtains, but still felt a little scared.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then took her luggage into the master bedroom. Su Jiuyao decided not to think too much and just take a shower and go to bed early.
I took my pajamas and daily necessities into the bathroom and took a comfortable hot bath, which finally dispelled some of the coldness and inner uneasiness.
While drying her hair, she walked out of the bathroom. She guessed that Gu Hanye had finished his meal, so she wanted to give him a video call before going to sleep.
But as soon as she walked into the dark bedroom and looked at the curtains blown by the wind, she was stunned.
The strong wind blew dense raindrops into the house, wetting the floor near the window and filling the room with the smell of cold and fishy water vapor.
In such stormy weather, the windows must be closed when entering the house, and it is even more impossible for her to open the windows on her own initiative.
And the lights in the room were turned off. She lived alone and was afraid to begin with, so she turned on all the lights on purpose. It was impossible for her to turn off the lights casually.
She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Could it be that someone came in through the window?
But she was on the 20th floor, and outside the window was a bare wall perpendicular to the ground, with nothing to climb.
Cold sweat began to form on her palms, and her scalp went numb. After a brief pause of two seconds, she turned around and ran towards the door.
But as soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his neck from behind.
She wanted to struggle and call for help, but the man covered her mouth directly. He was very strong and much bigger than her, definitely a man.
No, not just one person, but two.
There are two men in the room!
The man who was strangling her neck, with a breath full of smoke and alcohol, urged his accomplice in German: Hurry up, idiot!
The other man quickly tied her hands behind her back with a rope, then tied her legs, which kept kicking, and finally sealed her mouth with tape.
Su Jiuyao was thrown heavily onto the bed.
One of them turned on a row of spotlights, and Su Jiuyao could see the two of them clearly.
They all wore simple black masks that covered their noses and the area below, leaving only their eyes exposed.
But just by looking at their eyes, you can tell that both of them have typical Western faces.
The man who had just strangled her neck was a burly man over 1.8 meters tall with a buzz cut.
The other man was slightly shorter, perhaps around 1.7 meters tall, with a small braid at the back of his head.
They must be locals because they all speak German.
Su Jiuyao does not speak German, but she became interested in German when she was learning English. Both languages belong to the Germanic language family, so she even studied them in comparison.
But German was still more complicated and difficult to pronounce, and it was one of the few things she gave up halfway through learning.
Although she didn't fully master the language, she could still understand the general meaning even if the other person spoke slowly. She just couldn't write or speak it...
But even if she could speak German, it would be useless because her mouth was sealed and her hands were tied, so she couldn't say anything, let alone write.
She couldn't tell the two criminals in front of her that they had kidnapped the wrong person...
She is not the princess they want to kidnap at all!
Through the brief exchange between the two people, she had roughly understood what the other party meant. They thought she was a princess of a small Asian country and planned to kidnap the princess and extort money from her family.
