Chapter 1188 Still Can't Escape the Clutches
Lu Jiang was stunned and stared at Lan'er, making sure she had nowhere to hide.
"Are you serious?" Lu Jiang asked in a low voice.
"Really." Lan'er repeated.
Lu Jiang got up and walked into the bathroom naked. "Wait for me for a moment, baby. It will be quick."
"...Oh." Lan'er breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that he was going to take a cold shower. At least, she succeeded for the time being.
Zhou Lan'er rolled under the bed, and after rolling down to the ground, she propped herself up and stood up. Perhaps because such a long time had passed, the effect of the medicine gradually lost its effect, or perhaps because there was no hot water to stimulate the effect of the medicine, so her body began to warm up, which was much better than the initial weakness.
She swayed her body and walked towards her cell phone. She wanted the cell phone, she wanted to make a call. She couldn't stay with Kou Quan. He was too dangerous to her.
Zhou Lan'er held her cell phone in her hand and walked straight to the door without even turning it on.
But her knees went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Lan'er opened her mouth and bit her wrist hard, and blood gushed out. The piercing pain quickly spread throughout her body, soaking through her paralyzed and increasingly weak legs. She was in so much pain that tears rolled down her cheeks, and she dragged her body out.
It was unlikely she could leave the huge villa in such a short time, so she had to find a place to hide. She looked up at the camera embedded in the ceiling, dodged into the camera's blind spot, and pushed open the emergency passage. Zhou Lan'er looked at the dark place, unsure where it would lead to.
The hot spring villa wasn't designed to be multi-story, with only one flat floor. Could this underground staircase lead to the sewer or the villa's secret operations? If she accidentally stumbled into some secret forbidden area, she would be dead today.
But looking at the man behind her who might appear at any time, she hesitated for a long time and finally locked herself on the other side of the door.
Suddenly, everything in front of her was pitch black, so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. Lan'er held the phone close to her body, turned it on, and covered the phone with her hand to prevent it from making any more noise.
Fortunately, there is only a gentle prompt tone of a few seconds when the power is turned on, and the sound is basically eliminated by pressing the speaker.
Zhou Lan'er quickly muted her phone and sent a group message. All the contacts on her phone received it, including her parents and many friends she had never thought of at the moment. But who really cared about her depended on how much they cared about her.
Zhou Lan'er followed up with several messages in a row, but didn't dare to make a phone call, fearing that any sound she made would be heard outside.
In fact, she was suffering greatly both physically and mentally at the moment. She didn't know what kind of black hole she was in. She was trembling with fear. She had to keep a clear head in the extreme tension and not make any sound, including sobbing.
She called Kou Quan, and the other party answered the second time, but she hung up. She called again and again. Then a text message said that she was in a villa near them and was being targeted by Lu Jiang. She was in danger and she was very scared.
Words appeared on the screen one by one, and he sent it as soon as he finished writing it, fearing that he would be caught the next moment.
Lan'er's vision was blurred by tears. When she raised her eyes suddenly, she saw a dark green eye on the ground, jumping up and down like a firefly.
Lan'er's heartbeat suddenly stopped for two seconds, and she screamed loudly, "Ah——"
He slammed the phone in his hand down with considerable force, then he moved sideways, opened the door, and got out.
Outside, Lu Jiang was being escorted out of the room by a group of people with bloodshot eyes, filled with anger.
Hearing the terrified female voice coming from behind, he turned around suddenly, "Lan'er——"
Lu Jiang strode sideways and rushed over, hugging Zhou Lan'er tightly in his arms.
"Lan'er, my baby, where have you been, huh? You scared me. Don't be so naughty in the future!" Lu Jiang scolded, with a warning full of care.
Lu Jiang hugged her tightly and looked towards the corner. Zhou Lan'er was so frightened that her whole body was shivering, panicked and scared, and she couldn't even move her tongue.
"Eyes, so many eyes..."
Lu Jiang frowned. What eyes?
"It's okay, I'll go with you to take a look. Nothing will happen with me here." Lu Jiang picked up the person and carried him horizontally, striding towards the end.
Lu Jiang stood at the door of the safety passage, frowning slightly. Where did this door lead to? Or what was it used for?
Lu Jiang was about to push the door open, but Lan'er grabbed his clothes with trembling hands, and the waiter behind him hurried forward to stop him.
"Mr. Lu, non-staff members are not allowed to enter here. Please cooperate."
"Can I ask what's going on down there? My fiancée seems to be quite frightened, and I just want to eliminate her fear so I want to find out what's going on." Lu Jiang said seriously.
The waiter glanced at each other and said, "We raise meat frogs down there. Most of them are consumed within the villa, and a small portion is sold to nearby villas."
Lu Jiang relaxed, lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms who was so frightened that she couldn't breathe, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still scared?"
Lan'er nodded and shook her head, but she couldn't stop crying.
Lu Jiang carried the person back to the room. She was still wearing a bikini, probably for her boyfriend to see, so there was very little fabric. But now, it was cheap for others.
Lu Jiang handed her the clothes and left, but strode back thirty seconds later.
"I'll help you put them on." Lu Jiang took the clothes and put them on her one by one with a gloomy face.
Zhou Lan'er didn't dare to speak, still in fear. Lu Jiang didn't ask her why she went out. Her purpose was obvious. Only he was stupid enough to cooperate with her every time.
"Why don't you understand that I'm the only one who won't hurt you?" Lu Jiang lifted Lan'er up, put his arm around her waist, said helplessly, and then hugged her tightly.
"I just want to go out and take a look..."
"You want to escape from me." Lu Jiang exposed in a cold voice.
After so many years, how could he not know what she was thinking?
"Lu Jiang..."
"It's okay, we'll go down the mountain right away and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. By the way, we have to go home to get our documents. We'll try to get them this morning, okay?" Lu Jiang whispered, his voice deep and powerful, with an irresistible aura.
Lan'er was silent, neither saying a word nor nodding. Lu Jiang pulled her out of the room. Zhou Lan'er's body was still weak, with cold sweat on her forehead. In order to stand firmly, she had to cling to him tightly.
Everyone on Kou Quan's side received the message, but there was no sound when he called back. He could imagine what kind of predicament she had been forced into by that beast.
Thinking of that night eight years ago, Kou Quan's eyes were instantly filled with anger. He quickly changed his clothes and took his things to call everyone.
While he was worried about his girlfriend, he also despised himself for living a carefree life that led to his girlfriend being imprisoned.
When Shiqi heard that her sister-in-law had met Lu Jiang again, she cried out in her heart, "Oh no! Lu Jiang is not a good person. This is why she has never been able to get close to Lu Jiang." She quickly got out of the water, changed her clothes, and left with Kou Quan.
