But at this moment, she couldn’t care less about the pain in her knees. She only wanted to escape from this hell hole.
She had to leave this place!
She got up, dragged her tattered dress, and rushed to the entrance of the venue.
Shi Yuting had been watching from afar without interfering.
But then he handed the glass in his hand to the attendant, took a step forward and slowly walked toward the entrance of the venue. His face was cold and unforgiving. With every step forward, the people made way for him as they avoided him.
Tengtang Xi’s heart was still filled with panic as she walked out of the venue. She stood in front of an elevator and pressed the button with all her might. Every passing second felt like a century. No matter how hard she pressed, the tightly shut elevator door did not open for a long time.
She was anxious. It was as if she could hear the sound of footsteps approaching from afar behind her. The sound of exquisite handmade leather shoes stepping on the floor was so terrifying and unsettling.
Damn it! Why hasn’t the door opened yet?!
Finally, with a ‘ding’, the elevator door opened. She rushed in impatiently and pressed the buttons with all her might. She only hoped that the elevator door would close before Shi Yuting arrived!
As she pressed the buttons, she looked at the entrance of the venue with fear. In the next second, she saw an exquisite handmade leather shoe step out and then Shi Yuting’s extremely cold face.
Her pupils dilated, and her face was horrified from fear. Fortunately, the elevator door closed quickly. It was not until the elevator had reached the first floor that the fear in her heart eased slightly, but she was still uneasy.
Tengtang Xi rushed out immediately the moment the elevator door opened, heading towards the hotel door!
In the dark night, neon lights shone bright. The city was clearly bustling, but it only gave her fear.
She reached out and flagged down a taxi before quickly entering it!
She couldn’t go back to the Li family. At this moment, she didn’t know where to go. She had to quickly inform her grandfather!
However, she had left her bag at the venue. She was currently penniless!
Tengtang Xi seemed to have overlooked one thing.
She had just sat in the back seat and didn’t say where she was going, but the driver had already started the car and was driving.
When the taxi drove out of the city, Tengtang Xi suddenly came back to her senses. She looked out of the window. The lights in the city had long faded far behind the car.
“Where is this?!” She started to feel uneasy.
Through the rearview mirror, she saw the wretched look of the driver.
“Who…who are you?!”
The driver took off the cap on his head and the car stopped. Tengtang Xi impatiently got out of the car, wanting to escape.
However, when she got out of the car, she found that this was a road with few people.
Realizing that she had been tricked, she wanted to run away. But then a few figures walked out from the shadows in front of her and blocked her way.
Fear crept back into her heart as she looked at the figures, terrified.
She retreated only to reach the driver.
“What…what are you up to?” The dagger in her hand was still there. She raised it, wanting to defend herself.
However, dealing with such a small dagger was a piece of cake for the men.
