Chapter 20: Losing face for the Fu family, divorce is...



Jiang Yilai felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly pulled out her phone, only to find that it had no signal at all.

Sizzle sizzle—

A hissing sound rang out, and the small light above my head suddenly went out.

The small room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Jiang Yilai panicked instantly.

...

The Fu family.

Fu Nanxiao had just finished a rehabilitation session.

He was covered in sweat, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.

The rehabilitation therapist massaged his legs and praised him, saying, "Mr. Fu, your leg muscles are recovering very well. It seems the person who massaged you recently has excellent technique and is very attentive."

Massage is a very strenuous activity, especially for someone like Fu Nanxiao who can't move his legs.

Fu Nanxiao leaned wearily against his wheelchair and gently closed his eyes.

Jiang Yilai massaged his legs.

She was slender and looked gentle, but she was not perfunctory at all during the massages, and she was always covered in sweat by the end.

In his mind, Jiang Yilai's angry little face from last night and her ignoring him this morning reappeared.

She has a gentle and delicate appearance and is quiet, but she is very stubborn.

He's both cowardly and interesting.

Fu Nanxiao's lips curled up slightly.

There was a light knock on the door of the rehabilitation room, and Uncle Liu pushed it open.

“Sir, there’s something I feel I have to tell you. Actually, the old lady was afraid that the madam would run away, so she hired a bodyguard to follow her.” He looked conflicted. “The bodyguard just called and said that the madam went to Jiang’s this morning, but now all the employees at Jiang’s have gone home and the madam hasn’t come out yet. I’ve been calling her, but no one is answering.”

Fu Nanxiao frowned: "How long have you been inside?"

"It's been eight hours."

Fu Nanxiao's face darkened: "What are they doing? They only realize something's wrong now!"

Uncle Liu was startled by the coldness in his tone.

He quickly said, "They wanted to go in to look for her a long time ago, but the Jiang family said they hadn't seen Madam and wouldn't let them in, and..."

Moreover, the wife had just been locked up by her husband for three days, and everyone knew that the husband was not satisfied with his wife.

Even Uncle Liu had a feeling that he would ignore the matter.

He asked cautiously, "Sir, what should we do?"

Fu Nanxiao's face was gloomy, and he leaned back in his wheelchair without saying a word.

...

In the small warehouse.

Jiang Yilai hugged herself and huddled by the door.

She had called for help, banged on the door, and tried everything, but the door seemed unbreakable and couldn't be opened at all.

Her phone was dead, and all she could do in the darkness was wait.

Jiang Yilai kept her eyes tightly closed, only in this way could she make herself less afraid.

In the silence, strange noises suddenly came from outside.

Is anyone there?!

She knocked on the door hard.

No one answered.

Suddenly, I caught a whiff of gasoline and burning.

The temperature in the space suddenly rose.

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Yilai coughed incessantly from the sudden smoke.

There's a fire outside!

Ignoring her fear, she hurriedly stood up: "There are people here, help!"

She pounded on the door desperately, but to no avail.

Soon, smoke filled the entire small warehouse.

Jiang Yilai covered her mouth and nose, but the intense feeling of suffocation still overwhelmed her.

The air in her lungs had almost completely disappeared, and her heart felt like it was about to explode from lack of oxygen. She struggled to breathe, feeling like a dying fish.

Jiang Yilai had difficulty breathing and her consciousness gradually faded.

Is she really going to die here?
