Chapter 1072 - 1072 Imprisonment
1072 Imprisonment
“Kang Xue, don’t be anxious. How about this, you go back to school first, and we’ll think of a solution together.” Jiang Yu didn’t have any good ideas for the time being. After all, she couldn’t interfere with other people’s family affairs as a bystander, so she could only tell Kang Xue not to worry and to go back to school first.
“Alright,” she said. Kang Xue nodded as she cried. “Jiang Yu, please save me. I really don’t want to marry him.”
“Well, don’t be in a hurry. Pack your things and go back to school. Don’t go home for the time being.” Jiang Yu said.
“Alright, I’ll go back now.” With that, Kang Xue hung up the phone.
She simply packed her things and was about to leave. However, she was stopped by the Butler when she reached the door. “Second miss, where are you going?”
The Butler asked with a smile.
He’d been the Butler of house Kang for thirty years now, and he’d never seen the second miss being pampered ever since she was born. As time went by, even the old Butler’s attitude towards Kang Xue gradually began to become perfunctory.
“I want to go back to school. I still have classes,” she explained.
“Even if there’s class, you don’t need to carry such a big backpack, right?” The Butler looked at the backpack behind Kang Xue. “I’ve asked around. You don’t have any urgent classes recently. You just have to tell the tutor and it’s fine if you don’t go to class. So you said you have class now. What class are you going to attend?”
“My backpack isn’t big, it’s just the normal size. I’ll just be attending an ordinary elective class when I go back to school.” Kang Xue was sweating.
She was worried that it would be too conspicuous to carry a suitcase, so she chose to use a backpack. There wasn’t much inside, but she didn’t expect this sly old Butler to have such sharp eyes and see through her thoughts.
“Don’t even think about it. Master has already asked me to inform the tutor. You should stay at home for the time being and take the exam at the end of the term.” The Butler smiled and reached out to take the backpack off Kang Xue.
“Wait!” Kang Xue took a step back. “What do you mean by this?”
“It means that you’ll have to stay at home for the time being!” The Butler’s smile changed. He grabbed the backpack from Kang Xue and called for the two bodyguards outside the door, “Quickly come in! The second miss is running!”
The bodyguards quickly rushed in and suppressed Kang Xue.
“Butler! What are you doing!” Kang Xue’s eyes were red with anxiety.
The Butler didn’t answer, but asked the bodyguard to send Kang Xue back to her room. He then said, “Before the engagement ceremony begins, she is not allowed to leave this room.”
“Yes, sir!” The bodyguards replied.
Before leaving, the Butler did not forget to take away Kang Xue’s phone.
“Second miss, you won’t need to use this, so don’t keep it.”
Just like that, Kang Xue was locked in the room. She tried to escape through the window, but there were four or five bodyguards outside, so there was no way to escape.
This time, she was completely imprisoned.
Moreover, she did not have a cell phone and could not contact Jiang Yu at this time. She had no way to tell her about her current situation.
As time went by, the sky became darker and darker, and Kang Xue became more and more anxious.
On the other hand, Jiang Yu had been waiting in school for a long time, but Kang Xue did not come. She could not help but feel a little puzzled.
After she finished her work today, she went back to school just to discuss this with Kang Xue. However, she had been waiting in school for an entire afternoon, and there was no sign of Kang Xue.
Lu Qi and Dai Zhu were also waiting with her.
Lu Qi looked at the time and said, “Is Kang Xue not coming today?”
Jiang Yu frowned and replied, “I don’t know. If she can’t make it, she should have contacted me. However, I haven’t received any news from her yet. She should be coming.”
“Then why hasn’t she arrived yet? Even if there’s a traffic jam, she should have arrived. It’s impossible that they haven’t left the house yet.” Dai Zhu was confused, but a bold idea suddenly came to her mind. “Heavens! Did Kang Xue get locked up by her family?”
The moment she said that, Jiang Yu and Lu Qi both felt that something was not right.
“It’s not impossible for her family to lock her up because they’re worried that she’ll run away.” Jiang Yu frowned and said, “They might have even confiscated Kang Xue’s phone because they are worried that she would contact us.
“This, this is illegal, right?” Dai Zhu covered her mouth in horror.
Jiang Yu shook her head. “This is their family matter. Besides, we don’t know how Kang Xue is doing.”
