BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118 - The Cage
Chapter 118: The Cage
“Zhe, how’s it going? Have you found her? How’s Millie?”
Second Aunt came out in a hurry. She hadn’t been able to eat or sleep well in the past few days because of what had happened to Millie. She looked a lot more haggard.
“Second Aunt, don’t get too excited. Let’s go in first. I’ll tell you slowly.”
Seeing the Shen family behind Second Aunt, Shen Zhe quickly helped Second Aunt in and raised his voice to speak to the family.
Shen Yan sat in the middle and watched as Shen Zhe helped Second Madam Shen in. He was also very anxious. “Xiao Zhe, how is it? Have you found Millie?”
“Grandpa, we have found Millie’s location, but we were a step too late. Millie has already been moved by them.”
Shen Zhe’s voice was low. Every word that landed on the Shen family’s heart was a heavy blow.
“What? Didn’t we just find out about Millie?” Shen Nan screamed. They had just found out about the clues about Millie. How could the kidnappers have moved her so quickly?
Pa…
Shen Yan slammed the table hard and panted in anger. “Investigate, Xiao Zhe! Investigate seriously. I want to see who is the one who is going against the Shen family!”
“Grandpa, I know. Don’t worry. I will definitely find Millie,” Shen Zhe quickly promised.
“Big Brother, let’s investigate on our own. Don’t look for the people from the Public Security Bureau anymore, “Shen Yu said in a deep voice. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to find out who the mole was and who was stopping them from finding Emily.
Shen Zhe looked at Shen Yu with some relief. “Don’t worry. I have already asked Xu Shan to follow her personally. We will have the results soon.”
“Big Brother, take a look at this.” Shen Yu handed the photo to Shen Zhe. “This is the photo I found in Qi Yan’s secret room.”
Shen Zhe quickly took it and soon realized that something was wrong. He took out the previous photo from his bag. “That’s great. Grandpa, I’ll be leaving first.”
“Xiao Yu, what photo are you holding?” Shen Yan looked at Shen Yu with confusion. He felt that his grandson had changed, but he didn’t seem to have changed at all?
“Grandpa, I want to go to the study to talk to you.” Shen Yu did not answer Shen Yan’s question. Instead, he stood up and looked at Shen Yan with a determined gaze.
On the other side, Emily slowly opened her eyes. She tried her best to prop herself up. The surroundings were pitch-black and she could not see anything.
“Is… Is anyone there?” Emily’s voice trembled. It was so dark and she could not see anything around her. It was extremely quiet. Where was Scarface? Where was the square-faced man? Where was the man in the suit? Where did they all go?
Seeing that no one responded, Emily’s voice became slightly louder. “Is anyone there? Save me!”
“Aren’t you very arrogant? Look at yourself now. How pitiful.” Emily felt that this voice was very familiar, but she couldn’t remember who it was.
Suddenly, the surroundings lit up. Emily hurriedly raised her hand to cover her eyes. The intense light made her feel very uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to become blind.
“How pitiful, just like a pitiful worm.” The voice sounded again. With two ‘tsk tsk’ sounds and that arrogant and mocking tone, Emily instantly reacted.
“Qu Li? Qu Li! What on earth do you want to do?” Emily shouted loudly. After her eyes adapted, she put her arm down. Only then did she realize that she was locked in a cage. There was nothing around her.
“You discovered it so quickly. How boring. Weren’t you very arrogant in school? Look at how pitiful you are now. Your delicate skin is full of scars. Do you think Shen Yu will dislike you after seeing you?”
Qu Li spoke as she approached Emily. She walked to the side of the cage and squatted down. She looked at Emily who was lying on the ground with a smile on her face. She was very proud.
“Did you find them all? Or are they all your people? So, everything was planned by you?”
Emily could not help but tremble as she opened her mouth. It was as if she did not know Qu Li in front of her.
She only knew that Qu Li was arrogant and domineering in school because she had the backing of the senior, Wu Hai. However, the person who kidnapped her was obviously not someone Qu Li would know at her age. Could it be that Qu Li’s father had helped her?
Emily felt that her mind was in a mess now. There were too many mysteries. When Qu Li was in school, she was obviously very afraid of the Shen family. Why would she let someone kidnap her?
