The middle-aged man looked at her coldly, turned and walked towards the door of the room. Kang Shaoxi desperately chased after him and crawled over, but a man in a black sleeveless vest stepped in front of her and threw a box of cigarettes to her.
Kang Shaoxi grabbed the cigarette on the ground, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box with trembling fingers, lit it, and took a few deep puffs. Only then did she feel much more comfortable, as if she had returned from hell to the world. She smoked three cigarettes in a row, and then she slowly recovered.
"After you finish smoking, wash up, get ready and go downstairs. Sixth Master has something to say to you!" The man in the black vest next to her looked at her and ordered viciously.
Kang Shaoxi quickly got up from the ground after hearing what the man said, and walked into the bathroom with her body shaking. She simply washed her face, tied up her messy hair, and then left the bathroom. The man in the vest looked at her with a gloomy face: "Come downstairs with me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs. Kang Shaoxi hurriedly followed him tremblingly.
While going downstairs, she quickly figured out something. The middle-aged man who had just come to the bedroom to see her was called Liu Ye! She just didn't know what the relationship was between Liu Ye and the deceased Fu Zihao? But one thing was certain, Liu Ye was the boss of this villa. Looking at the appearance of these people, they were definitely gangsters. Liu Ye had just told her to obey unconditionally. When she thought of this, she felt an unspeakable fear. But now she was being held tightly in someone else's hand. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Fu Zihao had put drugs in her cigarettes, and she was already addicted to drugs. Thinking about the days ahead, she felt a despair she had never felt before...
Kang Shaoxi did not follow the man in black to the living room, but went to a huge room on the first floor. Everything in this room was decorated in the style of an ancient imperial palace. When he walked in, the middle-aged man named Liu Ye was sitting on a dragon couch, sipping tea slowly. When he saw Kang Shaoxi coming in, his face was calm. He raised his hand and put down the fine blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, then looked at Kang Shaoxi and said slowly: "Do you remember what I said just now?"
"Remember... remember!" From the cold aura of this middle-aged man, Kang Shaoxi knew that this man was many times more difficult to deal with than Fu Zihao.
"No matter what I tell you to do, will you obey unconditionally?" Sixth Master raised his triangular eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Yes... yes!" Kang Shaoxi answered with trembling lips.
Master Liu looked her up and down, and after watching her, he ordered his men around him, "Fang Qi, give her a gun!"
"Yes!" Fang Qi, who was standing next to him, immediately pulled out a gun from his waist and handed it to Kang Shaoxi, saying coldly, "Take it!"
Kang Shaoxi took it with trembling hands, looked at the gun in his hand, and looked at Sixth Master nervously, his messy big eyes full of unspeakable fear.
Master Liu picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Then he put it down and looked at her and asked coldly, "You have two paths to choose from now. One is life, the other is death! Which one do you want to choose?"
"I, I, I... I want to live!" Kang Shaoxi stuttered in response after hearing the Sixth Master's cold words.
"Very good! How has Mrs. Wang treated you during the time you have been here?" Sixth Master continued to ask her in a cold voice.
"She treats me...very well." Since she came to this villa, the person who treated her best was Mrs. Wang, who brought her food every day and sometimes secretly talked to her when those who were watching her were not paying attention. Kang Shaoxi had always had a good impression of Mrs. Wang.
"Really?" Sixth Master smiled evilly when he heard her words: "Only one of you and her can survive before six o'clock tomorrow morning! If you kill her, you can survive, and you will be my, Sixth Master's, person from now on. If you can't kill her, the only one who will die will be you!" Sixth Master said with a sneer, and waved his hand to the people around him. Fang Qi immediately walked to Kang Shaoxi, picked up the powerless Kang Shaoxi out of Sixth Master's room, and took her back to her original bedroom.
When pushing Kang Shaoxi into the room, Fang Qi scolded her with a gloomy face: "Think about it carefully! As long as you succeed tonight, you can follow Sixth Master and live a life of luxury, and the brothers will not treat you unfairly!" After that, he slammed the door of the room and left.
Kang Shaoxi held the gun in her hand and huddled in the corner. Her hands were shaking all the time. After a while, she threw the gun away with a cry, hugged her knees tightly with her arms, and couldn't stop the tears from her frightened eyes. She was just an ordinary girl. Even if she hated some people sometimes, she never thought that one day in the future, she would kill someone. And now the person she wanted to kill was the only one who helped her when she was in trouble. She didn't want to put down her hand. When she thought that Wang Sao was going to die under her gun, she trembled all over, and her mind was filled with unspeakable fear.
But she didn't want to die! She was still so young, her life had just begun, she hadn't married or had children yet, she hadn't enjoyed anything in this world, she couldn't give up so easily!
But between life and death, she can only choose one!
Either I die or my wife dies!
Kang Shaoxi had been huddled in the corner, staring blankly at the gun in his hand. The deathly silence was finally broken by the arrival of Wang Sao. Wang Sao was ordered to bring dinner to Kang Shaoxi. When she heard the conversation between Wang Sao and those who were monitoring her at the door, Kang Shaoxi came to her senses, hurriedly hid the gun on her waist, and pretended to be lost in thought while looking at the floor in front of her.
Mrs. Wang came in with dinner, looked at Kang Shaoxi lying on the ground and shook her head with concern, then she put the food on the coffee table, turned around and walked to Kang Shaoxi, helped her up from the ground, walked to the sofa and sat down, smiled and handed the chopsticks to her hand: "Sixth Master is in a good mood tonight and said that he can let me accompany you for one night. These meals were specially made by the kitchen staff at the request of Sixth Master. Look at how thin you have become during this period of time. Miss Kang, no matter what happens in the future, you must first take care of your body, so that you can have the strength and energy to think about the future, don’t you think?" Mrs. Wang picked up some delicious food with chopsticks and put it in front of Kang Shaoxi.
Listening to Wang Sao's words, Kang Shaoxi's tears suddenly welled up. She slowly raised her head and looked at the kind Wang Sao in front of her, choking with sobs and asked, "Wang Sao, do you have any family?"
Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly, with infinite sadness flashing in the depths of her eyes: "I once had a daughter. I originally accompanied her to study abroad, but who would have thought that she would be killed the second year after we came here. Later, I learned from the police that my daughter was murdered after being insulted by several people, but because there were no witnesses at the scene, the case could not be solved at all. My husband died early, and my daughter was everything to me, but she died unjustly for no reason, and even the murderer could not be found. I swore that I must catch the murderer myself. I took the money and started to enter various entertainment venues, but I couldn't find him after searching for half a year. Suddenly one day, I met Liu Ye, and he said that he could help me get revenge, but my life would be his from now on. I agreed without thinking. As long as I can get revenge for my daughter, I don't care about anything. The next day, Liu Ye helped me get revenge, and I have followed him since then."
"Why should he help you?" Mrs. Wang in front of him was neither pretty nor had any family background, so it was unreasonable for Sixth Master to avenge her.
"He asked me to do him a favor and deliver a box of things to someone." Mrs. Wang thought for a moment and answered.
"What's the matter?"
"I can't tell you this." Mrs. Wang looked at Kang Shaoxi and smiled.
"You followed him here after he helped you get revenge?"
"Well, I have nowhere else to go anyway, so I just stay here and work as his servant. I've been doing this for nearly ten years!"
"Ten years?" Kang Shaoxi stared at her with wide eyes, somewhat shocked. A servant who had worked for ten years would have some feelings for her, right? But the Sixth Master didn't even blink.
"Yes! In the past ten years, I have become familiar with everything here and have completely regarded this place as my home."
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you couldn't move one day?"
"I haven't thought that far ahead. Ever since I lost my daughter, I've just been living one day at a time. But... Miss Kang, you're different! You're still young and have a long way to go! So don't give up! Got it?"
Kang Shaoxi burst into tears again when she heard what Wang Sao said: "Wang Sao, why are you so nice to me?"
"Because you remind me of my daughter! If she were alive, she would be a few years older than you! Alas..." Mrs. Wang sighed heavily after saying this.
"But..." Kang Shaoxi shook his head weakly, unable to say anything.
Wang Sao looked at her thoughtfully, picked up the red wine prepared beside her and poured two glasses, put one of the glasses in front of Kang Shaoxi and said with a smile: "Come on! We have known each other for such a long time, today I specially asked Sixth Master for this bottle of wine, it can be regarded as our acquaintance!" After Wang Sao finished speaking, she raised her glass and gently touched Kang Shaoxi's glass, and then drank it all. Seeing that Kang Shaoxi had no intention of raising her glass, she deliberately frowned and asked her: "Why, don't you like drinking with people of my age? Or don't you give Wang Sao this face?"
"No, no, no... No!" Kang Shaoxi picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, looked at Mrs. Wang, closed his eyes and drank it all.
"That's right! Come on, let's drink three cups in a row!" Mrs. Wang was in a good mood tonight and poured Kang Shaoxi another cup while talking.
Kang Shaoxi was in a complicated mood. Seeing Mrs. Wang drinking so heartily, he couldn't say anything. He could only drink both glasses of wine in silence.
"Actually... Miss Kang... I'm going to tell you the truth! I've been a servant here for ten years, and except for today, I haven't even had a glass of wine... This, this bottle of wine was given by Sixth Master... He said that as long as I drink this wine with you... he will let me return home... I also want to tell you... a secret... I get drunk as soon as I drink..." After Wang's wife drank three glasses of wine, she began to stutter a little. After she finished speaking, she leaned back and fell directly on the sofa, falling into a deep sleep. (To be continued)
