Chapter 66 Some unease
A figure in the corridor.
It becomes clearer under the light.
The man had high, prominent eyebrows and deep-set features, making him exceptionally handsome. However, because he habitually furrowed his brows into a deep frown, he exuded a cold and aloof aura that made people hesitant to approach him.
He touched the things belonging to the ruthless killer without permission.
Will I anger him and get silenced?
Su Niannian was quite frightened by her own imagination.
No one would dare to touch a single blade of grass or tree here.
However, under Xie Tingyan's extremely oppressive gaze, her hand holding the photo frame involuntarily went limp, and the photo frame fell from her fingertips onto the table.
It made a crisp sound.
She quickly straightened the photo frame, fidgeting nervously with her fingers, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xie Tingyan saw that she was terrified of him.
For the first time, I was speechless.
He strode in, his face ashen: "Am I that scary?"
The room felt cramped after he arrived.
Su Niannian isn't stupid. Since he asked that question, she naturally couldn't be foolish enough to say that he was scary.
Otherwise, I could be seeing my great-grandmother in the next second.
She looked at it cautiously, her voice trembling, "It's not scary at all..."
Xie Tingyan frowned, stepped forward, looked at her and said, "Aren't you afraid of me? Why is your voice trembling?"
Su Niannian's face turned ashen. She didn't know what this big shot was up to, but she was perfectly clear about her answer. If she displeased him, she might lose her life.
A sudden feeling of helplessness washed over her.
It seems to be an ancient saying that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
"Come with me." Xie Tingyan glanced at her, gesturing for her to follow his steps.
Su Niannian sighed inwardly, not daring to show it at all, nor did she dare to ask him where he was going.
She could only obediently follow behind him out of the room.
She had no choice but to bow her head under someone else's roof.
After leaving the room.
Su Niannian discovered that it was a three-story villa.
The interior decoration was very similar to the setting in the Thai dramas she watched.
The walls are adorned with brightly colored traditional Thai tapestries, the floor is covered with exquisite hand-woven carpets, and the furniture is designed with Thai characteristics in mind.
At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in traditional Thai clothing walked towards them.
His appearance is more Southeast Asian, but he speaks fluent Chinese.
He said respectfully to Xie Tingyan, "Sir, lunch is ready."
Xie Tingyan nodded, stepped down the stairs, and said coldly without turning his head, "Come down."
Su Niannian watched his swaying figure.
His eyes instantly filled with panic and astonishment.
She gripped the glittering gold stair railing, her eyes wide, and remained motionless.
The decor here and the maid's clothes all told her something.
She was taken by Xie Tingyan to Thailand, a foreign country.
Within just a few hours, she was sold to the country of Gajah by human traffickers.
She can't be that unlucky, can she?
Su Niannian was on the verge of tears, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry. On her first trip abroad, she was kidnapped and taken to a gangster's hideout.
Waaaaah...
Now Gu Yuheng has found his hope.
Does that make things even more hopeless?
"Miss, the master is waiting for you," the butler kindly reminded her when he saw her standing still.
Su Niannian came to her senses.
The butler smiled and gestured for them to enter: "Please."
Su Niannian bit her lip: "Okay..."
The butler led her to a luxurious restaurant and thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her.
"Miss, please have a seat."
Su Niannian dared not have any objection and sat down in the chair with a restrained air, meeting Xie Tingyan's "creepy" gaze.
The table in front of me was set with exquisite tableware. I thought the food would be Southeast Asian specialties, but every delicate dish on the plate was actually Chinese.
The air was filled with an enticing aroma.
It's just as good as the chef's cooking.
Su Niannian's stomach rumbled involuntarily at that moment. She was speechless at herself; at a time when her life was at stake, she could still be tempted to eat.
But then she realized that she hadn't eaten since last night and her stomach was completely empty.
Suddenly her heart tightened; her little baby must be starving.
So she mustered her courage, looked at Xie Tingyan, and said weakly, "May I eat a little of your food? I eat very little, one bowl of rice is enough for me. I don't need the vegetables, just a little vegetable soup will do..."
"What did you call me?" The man leaned back in his chair, glancing at her slightly.
"You."
Xie Tingyan said abruptly, "Call me like you did last night."
Su Niannian was completely confused: "Huh??????"
She wasn't familiar with this unpredictable older brother, and didn't even know his name.
She couldn't recall calling him anything last night.
Xie Tingyan sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and pushed a plate of steamed sea bass in front of Su Niannian with his long fingers.
His eyes held a hint of expectation: "As long as you call me 'Big Brother,' all the dishes on this table are yours."
Su Niannian stared at him in a daze.
Xie Tingyan urged, "Go ahead and call out, aren't you hungry?"
Su Niannian stared at him blankly for three seconds, noticing his expression gradually becoming impatient, and quickly called out, "Big brother..."
Xie Tingyan's dark eyes surged with emotion as he stared intently at the girl in front of him.
The girl's appearance gradually overlapped with the image of her younger sister in her mind.
If his younger sister were still alive.
It should be this big by now.
"Brother Ting." Zhao Jin came in from the villa entrance and walked up to him.
Xie Tingyan concealed the expression in his eyes and reverted to his indifferent demeanor, pushing all the plates towards Su Niannian.
"Eat as much of these as you like."
After saying that, he pushed back his chair, stood up, glanced at Zhao Jin, and gestured for him to come with him.
Su Niannian watched them go upstairs.
The oppressive feeling vanished instantly, and the tension in her heart eased immediately.
I don't know what they were going to do in such a hurry.
But considering Xie Tingyan's ferocious behavior last night, it's definitely not a good thing.
I wonder which unlucky guy they're plotting against this time.
However, she was already in a precarious situation herself, so she didn't care about anything else. As she ate her vegetables, she thought she could only hope that the person would have a good time.

In the study.
Zhao Jin stood in front of the desk and said respectfully, "Brother Ting, Gu Yuheng is going crazy looking for this Miss Su."
Xie Tingyan leaned back casually in his chair, a lit cigar between his fingers, his long fingers pinching his brow.
He gently exhaled a smoke ring and said expressionlessly, "Then let that brat Gu Yuheng worry about it."
