Soon, Yuan Qingzi's voice resounded throughout the sealed space.
There were also bursts of echoes.
Yuan Qingzi's heart raced, beating uncontrollably.
Thump… thump…
"What exactly is going on?"
"Ah, why?"
"Why am I in a place like this?"
Yuan Qingzi struggled and roared.
Within the entire space, other than her voice, there was no other sound.
It was as if she was isolated from the world, detached from reality.
"Ah, what kind of cursed place is this?"
"Is anyone there!"
Yuan Qingzi was furious and shouted repeatedly.
"Ahhh…"
But no matter how much she shouted, no one paid attention.
She finally stopped when she was tired.
Yuan Qingzi even felt like giving up.
She stood rooted to the spot.
Motionless.
A layer of fear still lingered on her beautiful face.
Time flowed by, second by second…
After about ten more minutes, the outline of a door appeared.
The door creaked open, and a dark figure walked in.
This figure was entirely shrouded in black, appearing quite mysterious.
Seeing this, Yuan Qingzi's beautiful eyes widened, and she panicked, "Who… who are you? Why did you capture me? We have no enmity, do we!"
"Quick… let me go!"
The black-clad figure approached Yuan Qingzi, said nothing more, and directly pulled out a dagger. The sharp dagger seemed to speak, freezing Yuan Qingzi in place in fear.
"You…"
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't be rash. If you want money, I can give you a lot of money!"
The black-clad figure said coldly, "I don't want money!"
The dagger in his hand was already at Yuan Qingzi's neck.
The cold blade instantly chilled Yuan Qingzi to the bone, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"You… don't come any closer!"
"If you come closer, I'll scream!"
The black-clad figure said, "Go ahead and scream… screaming your lungs out won't do any good!"
"I…" Yuan Qingzi froze upon hearing this, at a loss for what to do. "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
"We shouldn't know each other, right!"
Yuan Qingzi felt that every second was an ordeal.
It was too painful!
The black-clad figure said, "Indeed, we don't know each other!"
Yuan Qingzi was bewildered, "Then… why did you abduct me? I can give you money, alright? Please don't hurt me!"
"I don't want to die!"
The black-clad figure chuckled maliciously, "You're quite clever!"
"I… I'm not clever!"
"I'm an idiot!"
Yuan Qingzi was completely terrified and said whatever came to her mind.
Her little expression was extremely distressed.
Her face was filled with panic.
Her body trembled…
It was somewhat comical.
As for the black-clad figure, his gaze remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Tell me about your background!"
Yuan Qingzi was stunned for a moment and quickly complied.
She revealed her identity.
The Yuan family in the capital, positioned among the top-tier families.
So, she was from the Yuan family!
Yuan Qingzi revealed her noble identity precisely to make the black-clad figure retreat and dare not harm her.
"So, you're from the Yuan family!"
"Tsk, tsk!"
Yuan Qingzi continued, "Sir… do you… know anyone from the Yuan family?"
The black-clad figure shook his head, "No, but I've heard of them!"
"The Yuan family is indeed a prestigious clan in the capital!"
Yuan Qingzi, being very smart, seized the opportunity, "So… so, I'll give you whatever you want. Please don't hurt me, alright!"
The black-clad figure snorted coldly, "Then I'll have to see how I feel…"
He played with the dagger.
