Her clothes were drenched by the sea water, clinging tightly to her body.
The once robust figure appeared somewhat feeble, one hand clutching his chest, the other propped against a huge rock, gasping for breath with his head hung lowâ¦
Qin Youxuan couldnât recognize the place in the photo; all that remained in her mind was one piece of information.
He was truly injuredâ¦
And there was no one around him. Where did Yao go?
She felt as if someone was brutally strangling her, struck by a calamitous disaster all of a sudden, Qin Youxuan fell onto the ground, pressing tightly against her chest.
âBuzzââ
Her phone rang again; this time, it was a phone call.
Qin Youxuan struggled to bring the phone to her ear and answered, âWho are you exactly? Where did that photo come from?â
âIf youâre so curious about my identity, follow my instructions and you just might see your beloved man.â
âAbsolutely not!â
Qin Youxuan gritted her teeth, âJust a single photo, and you think I would believe your nonsense? How do I know if the photo isnât doctored?â
She was almost certain; she had never heard this manâs voice before.
Unless he was using a voice changer.
Unfamiliar to the point of having no impressions at all.
âSince you insist on doubting my words, Iâll let you watch a video. Hope you have the mental enduranceâ¦â
The call ended abruptly after he finished speaking.
Qin Youxuan clutched her phone and sat at the edge of her bed, breathing heavily.
Suppressing the panic and unease inside her.
The photo had to be doctored; yes, it had to be.
Dan Hanjie has to be okayâ¦
âBuzzââ
Her phone rang again
This time, it was a video call request
Qin Youxuan hesitated for a few seconds before she picked it up
âWhooshââ
It was the same scenery, except this time, there were the sounds of the waves.
They were really by the sea.
Dan Hanjie was no longer in the frame.
âWhere is he?â
Qin Youxuan asked anxiously.
She wished that the man was not Dan Hanjie but also desperately wanted to know his whereabouts.
âDonât worry, Iâll let you see him.â
The manâs voice was hoarse and had a disgusting frivolity as he slowly panned the camera.
In the phone, suddenly a few figures appeared, it was Dan Hanjie and Yaoâ¦
Surrounding them were a crowd of faceless individuals, only visible as black figures.
Lines of blood and corpses stained the sea redâ¦
âDan Hanjie!â
Qin Youxuan screamed in desperation, wishing she could jump into her phone.
Seeing a pistol slowly aiming at Dan Hanjie from the place closest to the phone, âI will say it one last time. Do as I say, or I canât guarantee that youâll ever see him again.â
âStopââ
The video call ended abruptly.
Qin Youxuan frantically dialed the phone number repeatedly, but the call didnât go through, and she collapsed onto the floor.
âBeepââ
The message sound rang again.
Qin Youxuan didnât dare to hesitate and quickly opened it.
[Avoid everyone, take a suitcase, and go to the location I specifyâ¦]
In the moment when Qin Youxuan was hesitating, another message came through.
[Donât try to pull any tricks under my watch, the consequences might be more than you can bear.]
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan looked around, there was no one.
She gritted her teeth, got up from the ground.
Just as she was about to call for the butler, her phone rang again.
This time, it was a multimedia message.
No people, only bloodâ¦
That was a warning.
The person was telling her that her every move was being watched by someone else.
She couldnât make any rash moves.
