After Jiang Lan slapped her for a long time, she slid weakly to the ground. The narrow utility room was completely dark.

It was so quiet, as if even the air was silent.

The overwhelming darkness shrouded Jiang Lan's body, entangling her like countless silk nets, strangling her and suffocating her breath.

She squatted on the cold ground, hugging her knees tightly.

The only sounds in the whole room were her breathing and her heartbeat.

Lu Jingchi asked her to reflect, but she didn't know what to reflect on, whether she waited alone in the restaurant for five hours or whether she sent Grandma Zhang home.

She didn't know what she had done wrong.

Jiang Lan touched his pocket and took out his mobile phone. It was out of battery and could not be turned on.

She huddled behind the door, closed her eyes, covered her ears, and could only pretend that she was still in the bedroom, but it was dark.

Back then, Lu Wanrou locked her in such a utility room for a day and a night. Rats and insects crawled over her body from time to time. These things were undoubtedly the most deadly to Jiang Lan, who was only six years old.

fear.

The saddest thing was that she couldn't even express her fear. She could only scratch and slap the door desperately, and her fingers were bleeding, but no one came to save her.

Finally, it was Lu Jingchi who opened the door and took her out.

That was the first time Lu Jingchi held her, and that embrace is still fresh in her memory. She still clearly remembers the warmth of that embrace.

The smell of sunshine, with a hint of mint, is a scent unique to teenagers.

Now, he personally sent her into this abyss and brought her back to the original starting point.

There was a crack in the figure of that young man in her mind.

Jiang Lan recalled every bit of the past, and her heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand. Those insects got into her heart and kept eating away at her memories. She was a little out of breath.

She grabbed her collar and gasped for air. Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her breathing was getting harder and harder.

Jiang Lan knelt on the ground, tapping the door with her last hope. Even her movements slowed down when she knocked at the end.

Lu Jingchi had already driven away at this moment and could not hear the cry for help in the utility room.

As he was walking to the company, Si Ning suddenly called him. Lu Jingchi just glanced at it and threw the phone on the passenger seat.

Si Ning called for a long time and no one answered. She frowned, but she knew in her heart that Lu Jingchi would not answer her call.

So she knocked on the door in the room again, "Uncle Huber, Uncle Huber!"

Her voice was so loud that Butler Huber quickly went upstairs, stood at the door and said respectfully, "Miss, what are your orders?"

"Where's my brother? Call him over. I have something to do with him!"

"The eldest young master hasn't come back yet. Miss, please don't waste your efforts. Even if the eldest young master comes, I won't let you out."

Si Ning was so angry when she heard this, she said to the door: "You call him quickly and ask him to come back, or I will jump off the third floor!"

Huber was shocked. With the temper of the eldest lady, she could really do such a thing.

So he could only comfort Si Ning first, and then ran to call Si Yangda.

Si Yang was meeting with clients when he received a call from Uncle Huber. He pinched his brows in annoyance, got up and went outside the conference room to call Si Ning back.
