Chapter 287: I’d Rather You Die At My Hands!
The faint sound at the door attracted Shen Xiaoxiao’s attention. She got up and slowly walked over.
In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao was quite curious. If there was a sound at this place, was it someone outside or someone else? Wouldn’t they be discovered? Or could they not hear it?
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked through the crack in the door. Not far away, there were still two burly men guarding them, but they couldn’t hear them from such a close distance?
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the metal back door and carefully touched the thickness of the wall.
Could it be that the wall was too thick, so the faint sounds could not be heard from outside?
In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao’s hearing was extraordinary. Perhaps ordinary people could not hear these sounds.
She was a little nervous and a little excited. Who was it? Was it a human or some other species that made these sounds in that place? But Shen Xiaoxiao was more convinced that someone was slowly approaching and digging a tunnel or doing something else?
She had seen all the maps of the Ouyang family, but this forbidden area was the only place they were extremely unfamiliar with.
One step, two steps, Shen Xiaoxiao began to slowly approach. It turned out that it was really a slight noise coming from under the stone floor. Was someone digging a tunnel or something?
She squatted down and gently knocked on the stone floor with her finger. The slight noise suddenly stopped.
Shen Xiaoxiao was delighted. There really was someone. Sure enough, two more knocks came from the stone floor below, and there was an interval between them. Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly knocked three times. Was this the Forrest Cipher?
Yan Kuan had taught her before, but she actually found this in this place. Who was it?
“The key has been found. We’ll act tomorrow night at 9.”
This was the meaning of the knocks on the floor below!
Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. Act tomorrow night at 9? The Ouyang family really wanted to turn Yan Kuan into a death warrior? And the key was found so quickly? This could only prove one thing. Could it be that the man in black was really Third Uncle?
Fortunately, she had a trick up his sleeve. Otherwise, it would be too late to cry. But if that person was really Third Uncle, why did he do all this? Why did he collude with the Ouyang family and why was he so anxious to get the key? Why did he need the key? What about her past life? In her past life, didn’t Third Uncle die tragically after his legs were cut off by the Liu family? In this life, how did Third Uncle become the man in black?!
There were too many questions in front of her. Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to knock back and ask if there were any other suspicious things, or what would happen, but there was no movement from above.
However, she still carefully observed this stone slab. It was so big. Was it really hollow? However, it was covered with cement and could not be removed. She stomped her feet in annoyance!
She walked back to the bedside with a confused look. They had found the fake key, but they still had to make a move on Yan Kuan. In other words, they had no intention of letting them go from the start.
Sure enough, she had prepared for a rainy day. This time, she had saved them. Yan Kuan had once said not to trust anyone easily, including him and Third Uncle. So, it was all waiting for her here?
Then, did Third Uncle understand the code that she had told Third Uncle through 19, or did he deliberately fall into a trap to lure her in?
What about Grandma Lin? When they had gone abroad together, was Grandma Lin alright? Was she with Third Uncle, or was she staying abroad?
Nestled in the corner of the bed, she had too many questions in her mind, but it seemed that she could not ask them out. Facing a man lying there motionless without a sound, she could not say anything.
Yan Kuan was lying there without moving. Tomorrow, they would turn him into a death warrior, so she would be next. In fact, she was very clear that for a man like Yan Kuan… If one day he found out that he had become a puppet controlled by someone, then for him, it would be a fate worse than death. Shen Xiaoxiao was actually thinking that if that really happened, it would be better for her to personally take care of Yan Kuan, so that he would not suffer such unpredictable pain. She would not be able to live? Hmph, at worst, she would accompany Yan Kuan to the Netherworld!
But would Shen Xiaoxiao be able to do this to the man she loved? She could be ruthless towards herself, but towards Yan Kuan, she suddenly felt a little timid.
However, she was very clear that if Yan Kuan was to be treated as a death warrior one day, after he sobered up and knew that he had become such a person, he would definitely hope that Shen Xiaoxiao would be able to take care of him personally. This was the pride of a man like Yan Kuan. This man was insufferably arrogant.
How could such a proud man like him allow such a huge mistake to happen in his life?
“Do you think that if I were to personally deal with you, would you hate me? Or would you drag me down to hell as well?”
Her mumbling slowly came out from her mouth. She knew that at this moment, Yan Kuan, who was lying there motionlessly like a corpse, could not hear her at all.
All these days, she had been massaging and talking to him non-stop. She used his hand to touch her lower abdomen to feel the baby’s heartbeat, but Yan Kuan still had no reaction at all. She was actually a little disappointed… It was just that the faith in her heart made her persevere, because in this dark room that was less than ten square meters, there was only Yan Kuan other than her.
That night, even though she had many thoughts in her mind, she still slept soundly through the night until dawn.
Not only that, she did not even know when breakfast was delivered!
She mocked herself a little. She was really generous.
Today’s breakfast was exceptionally rich. There was even a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. Every day, they would prepare food in a variety of ways for a criminal like her. Every day was not repeated, which surprised Shen Xiaoxiao. Sometimes, she would even see some water. How was this prison? It was even more convenient than running around outside. The Ouyang family was really generous with their prisoners!
After using some snacks and vegetables, Shen Xiaoxiao still only drank half a bowl of bird’s nest porridge, leaving the other half to be fed to Yan Kuan mouth to mouth. This bowl was originally very large. No matter how much Yan Kuan spat out, she could feed some into his stomach. This half a month, she had never stopped!
Shen Xiaoxiao wiped the corners of Yan Kuan’s lips. Today, she felt that Yan Kuan seemed to be a little different from the past. Not a single drop of bird’s nest porridge spilled out of the bowl that she fed him. He swallowed it all down. This change was a pleasant surprise to Shen Xiaoxiao!
However, this pleasant surprise also lasted for a few minutes before it disappeared. Still muttering to herself, she said to Yan Kuan, “I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing to have a reaction now. They are going to make a move tonight. Do you really want to be treated as a death warrior? I don’t want to be a mummy, and your son doesn’t want to be a little mummy either. Yan Kuan, if you don’t wake up, the three of us will meet in the afterlife. However, before I die, I’ll definitely kill you with my own hands to prevent you from suffering. Let me tell you, don’t you believe me, I’ll really do it!”
“Yes, I believe you. I’ve always believed that you have the ability to poison your husband!”
“Of course…”
Shen Xiaoxiao was suddenly shocked. He, he, he, he woke up…
