Hua Jin was so upset that he almost started weeping at the mention of the past. “When you were asleep, he’d bully me. He’d only allow me to order vegetarian takeout and I wasn’t allowed more than half a bowl of rice. When I wanted to take care of you, he shooed me away. When I refused to leave, he grabbed my collar and told me to go home. He even hawked over me the whole time I was doing your laundry, he stood by the side and glared at me like a tiger eyeing its prey.”
“…”
Unbelievable!
Yun Shishi had never known that Xiao Jie was such a jealous man.
“Alright! Stop being so terrified of him!”
Yun Shishi wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “Both of you are my most beloved younger brothers. No one is more important than the other, I love both of you equally.”
Hua Jin smiled in satisfaction.
“Oh, right. Let’s eat out tonight. Youyou and Little Yichen have gone on a spring outing, so they won’t be back for dinner. I’m feeling too lazy to cook.”
“Okay, but… we should at least inform your brother-in-law.”
Hua Jin nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll call him now.”
…
Mu Yazhe received a call from Hua Jin, who told him that since Yun Shishi rarely went out, he’d take her out to get some sun and they’d settle their dinner before returning home.
The man was rather worried when he heard this and asked many questions. Hua Jin consoled him by saying that they had brought enough manpower on this trip and that there was no danger.
Mu Yazhe felt more assured when he heard this.
“Come home early.”
“Yes, sir.”
After Hua Jin hung up, Mu Yazhe lifted his wrist and checked the time. It was already 4pm.
He tidied up his desk and gave Lu Jinyu a call. After giving him brief instructions on some outstanding matters, he drove away from the office.
Naturally, he did not return home immediately. Instead, he drove towards another villa.
…
The cluster of villa in Yu Long Bay was a property developed by the Mu Group. At the time, he had already started to set up his own business in secret. In order to finance it, he bought a few properties and carried out two rounds of financing. After this, the property had been left vacant and he was not in a hurry to take action.
After all, real estate is always excellent for hedging and easy to finance or invest in.
At this point, he was making his way to Imperial Dragon Bay, as this was where he had arranged for Yun Na to be held.
Mu Yazhe parked the car in the basement. Then he got out of the car and walked to the security keypad next to the shutter door. After he entered the passcode, the shutter slowly rolled open.
This was a 6-storey villa, and two of the six levels were underground chambers.
The upper basement was a garage, while the lower basement was a large warehouse.
Yun Na was shut away in the warehouse.
He had made some quick adjustments to the warehouse for this purpose. A bed had been added together with some furnishings, and a stainless steel cell door had been welded inside.
Normally, there would be five people rostered to watch over her.
When Mu Yazhe walked in, Yun Na was secured to the bed. She had just been given a sedative and was struggling non-stop. She was screaming wildly, and her throat was hoarse from all the screaming. She sounded as if there were countless grains of sand in her throat.
She had a change of clothes every three days. Sometimes, the guards were impatient and could not be bothered with her.
For as long as she had been imprisoned here, she had not taken a bath. As a result, her hair was messy, and her face was dirty. There were even bloody marks where she had scratched herself.
To prevent her from escaping, her wrists and ankles were secured by cuffs.
As she had been imprisoned for a long time, there were deep marks on her wrists and ankles. The skin had been scraped off, the blood had dried and formed scabs.
