“Ha ha ha! I won’t let you guys destroy me. I’ll definitely not let you guys destroy me…”
Although she spoke resolutely, her face was filled with fragility.
Feeling the energy leave her body, she slid down the floor. Her eyes were filled with fear and panic.
Ever since she met Ji Ziming, this was the first time such an expression belonging to the weak and the losers had appeared on her face.
‘Do you truly think that a secret will remain a secret forever and that no one will know that you’re not actually Young Master Ji’s savior?
‘Wake up, my good daughter! One of those kidnappers of Ji Ziming back then is out, and he’s even made a trip to our company while you weren’t paying attention.
‘Do you know that he’s already extorted five hundred thousand from us? Do you truly think that no one will know what you did back then?
“They’re already out… They’re already out…”
She hugged her head and buried it between her legs.
“Qiao Jingyun, don’t be afraid… You are no longer your past self. You are much more powerful now. They won’t be able to hurt you anymore…”
With her head lowered, she kept muttering this in a shaky voice.
‘This young girl is quite pretty!’
‘Indeed, she’s a looker. I heard that a young girl tastes exceptional…’
Instantly, she felt as though she had returned to the past. Fed up with her life at home, she fled…
Then, she met a bunch of thugs… She thought that she could join them but did not expect her wrong choice to bring her endless harm…
Back then, she was the first one to be locked up in that pitch-black room.
She had prayed fervently for someone to get her out of that endless darkness, but what she had welcomed, instead, was those people’s humiliation of her.
Finally, in her pitch-black world, she no longer hoped for anyone to save her.
Ironically, once she had completely lost all hope… that was when a boy and a girl her age were brought into her pitch-black room.
Back then… having already lost her will to leave, she did not make a sound and stayed in her corner as she listened to the two’s conversation.
She initially scorned them, but when she heard the young girl gently comforting the boy and even singing to him, she actually felt envious of him.
In the following days, she constantly thought that, if she met such a friend before those people, she… would probably not be so black-heated.
However, by the time she met them, she had already become warped.
She had already stepped into hell!
Therefore…
‘Eh? Is someone else here? You’re also locked up here by those people, huh? It’s fine. Just step on my shoulder and quickly climb out from this window…’
‘Someone is running away!’
Bang!
‘You actually helped them escape—’
“—Ahhhh!”
With a scream, Pei Ge jolted awake from her bed as beads of sweat peppered her forehead.
