Chapter Seven.

She felt a stir in her heart and called the security personnel over to ask, "What's going on? Why is it gone when it gets here?"

Do you want to use my family to threaten me? She asked with a stiff voice.

He Yan half reclined on the sofa, calmly looking at A Jiang, and replied, "Nothing."

I miss you too, Yanyan. He lowered his voice in response, then couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, let's stop talking. We need to start now, I have to turn off my phone."

He Yan closed her eyes and then pressed the answer button. She calmly said, "Shen Zhijie, I didn't call the police."

Yan He's tears flowed down her face as she murmured in a low voice, "I miss you, Yuanze."

"Silly goose!" he laughed, feeling both heartache and amusement, "I've only been away from home for a few days, and you're already like this."

A black car took He Yan to a villa on the mountain, where a small party was being held. There was chaotic music, dim lighting, and indulgent men and young girls everywhere. Stepping inside felt like falling into a fairyland.

Ajiang, however, did not believe it. With a slight force on his hand, he pulled her hand out of the purse and saw her tightly holding onto it. Then he coldly commanded, "What's in your hand?"

After spending more than a month traveling, the parents returned to Nanzhao. He Yan went to have dinner with them, and it was then that He's mother mentioned a dangerous incident that occurred during their trip.

Even though she encountered such a situation, she still believes in the existence of kindness in this world. He Yan forced a smile and said, "I indeed didn't hear anything. I'm fine, thank you."

Mr. Fu. She stood in front of him, greeted him calmly.

Sure enough, she cannot go to the police. No one would believe her, and they would instead treat her as a lunatic.

Oh my, Yanyan, you have no idea what we encountered. It was the time when you reminded us to be cautious about safety. In the middle of the night, we suddenly heard someone knocking on the wall next door, and your dad and I were both awakened by the noise. Your dad got angry and knocked back twice, but there was no response from the other side. Guess what? The next day, we heard that someone in the neighboring room was killed, and the word "沈" was written on the wall with blood. It scared us to death! We don't know if the person who knocked on the wall before was a human or a ghost. We were so scared that your dad and I quickly changed hotels!

He corrected her: "Actually, they don't look very similar, it's just that they look alike."

Her spirit has become almost numb. She washed her face in the bathroom in the dark and only called her parents after her voice had improved. The two elderly people had just returned to the hotel from outside and excitedly told her about the interesting things that happened during their trip. She spoke very little, just listened quietly, and finally reminded them, "Be careful."

Fu Shenxing held a wine glass in his hand, while engaging in a conversation with someone. Although there were two young models leaning against him, their attire remained neat. Upon hearing the sound, he turned his head and glanced lightly at He Yan, then pointed with the hand holding the wine glass towards a leather sofa in the distance, instructing her, "Go accompany Boss Zhang."

He Yan's mouth and nose seemed to be covered by someone, and for a moment, even breathing felt difficult. "What exactly do you want to do?"

Her mind was in chaos. She called Liang Yuanze again, but still couldn't get through. She stood by the car, with the cold metal pressing against her head, muttering to herself, "He Yan, calm down, you must calm down."

Oh, I have a slight cold. She replied hoarsely, finally finding an excuse that didn't need to be concealed, "My nose is blocked, and my tears are flowing."

The fat man smiled with a slobbering face, "Embarrassed? It's good to be embarrassed. It's more fun to play like this. I like married women like you the most."

From the microphone came Fu Shenxing's low laughter. He said, "Hé Yán, you're recording, aren't you? It's useless. Everything you're doing is in vain. Be obedient and listen, so that your family may have a chance of not being harmed."

With a tone of discussion, but without giving her the slightest chance to refuse.

Liang Yuanze still keenly noticed her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong? Your voice sounds muffled."

She sat in the office, took out the knife that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, held it in her hand and played with it silently, but after some hesitation, she put it back. She couldn't take risks, she didn't have a chance to fail.

At some point, Ajian came to the back of the sofa, tightly gripping her delicate wrist with a large palm, and asked her expressionlessly, "What does Teacher He want to touch?"

Let me take over, Teacher He. However, I don't think it's necessary for your family to know about our game. What do you think? He reminded, and finally said, "Also, please remember, my name is Fu Shenxing."

Liang Yuanze hung up the phone, while He Yan stared at her phone absentmindedly. There were no call records with Fu Shenxing, and naturally no saved recordings either. She was already certain that he must have tampered with her phone. While she was considering how to handle the situation, she received another text message: "Don't change your phone, keep using it."

"Good for just starting out! Clean for just starting out!" The chubby man slapped her thigh hard with his palm and didn't move away. She remained expressionless, allowing his hand to slide slowly on her leg without looking towards Fu Shenxing.

Does he not fear her calling the police, just because he has that video in his hand? But she is not afraid of such blackmail. She is the victim, and the abuser should feel ashamed, not her! She will not be threatened by such things and let herself sink into the dirt. She won't!

You are very clever, Teacher He," said Fu Shenxing.

The weather outside the building is bright and sunny. The intense autumn sun hangs high above the head, allowing one to fully express their last bit of enthusiasm. There is only a thin line between the sunny and shady areas, but crossing it feels like entering another world.

Oh, the surveillance circuit in the residential area broke down once in the middle of the night, and it was just repaired by someone this morning.

When I felt bored, he replied, paused for a moment, and then said, "Ms. He, your husband called you again."

The noisy and chaotic room suddenly quieted down, and Boss Zhang also froze, lowering his head to look at He Yan with a strange expression.

His voice had not yet fallen when someone immediately started to heckle, "Boss Zhang, let's open our eyes."

After a while, she was finally able to speak and said, "If I obey, will you not harm my family?"

Yes. He admitted calmly, and his words were cold and ruthless. "They are my bargaining chips. Don't violate the rules of the game again, Mr. He, don't test my patience again."

Let's proceed with our game.

Ms. He? Ms. He, what's wrong with you?

He Yan's attire is very out of place here, attracting the attention of many as soon as she enters. She ignores them, looks around at the door, and finds Fu Shenxing standing by the window. She walks straight towards him.

Her conversation with Liang Yuanze was brief. He took the time to make this call during a break in his training, just because he was a little worried about her since he had called her mobile phone several times before and no one answered. He Yan didn't dare to speak much, afraid that she would lose control and cry, and also afraid that her conversation with her husband might be eavesdropped on.

Mr. Zhang chuckled upon hearing the words and actually pushed her onto the sofa. While she resisted, her hand secretly reached into her own purse. However, as soon as she put her hand in, her wrist was grabbed by someone.

She had no intention of explaining to him. With her insistence, the security personnel retrieved video footage from other cameras during a similar time period. In the footage, "she" walked through the lobby, entered the elevator, and then walked out on her floor.

Just started in the industry. He Yan replied.
