Shen Qinglan’s expression remained unchanged when she heard this, but she felt relieved in her heart. As long as they didn’t take action against Xiaoxuan, Eden and Sisli would find her.
The oriental man clapped his hands, and two men came in, pulled Shen Qinglan up and took her out. Shen Qinglan then realized that this was actually a torture room, which was very similar to the room that Jin Enxi had just separated in the villa.
There was a cross in the middle of the room, and they tied Shen Qinglan to it. From beginning to end, Shen Qinglan’s face was calm, without any fluctuations.
The oriental man didn’t care, the show hadn’t even started yet. He took a whip from the wall, raised his hand, and the whip fell on Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan groaned, lowered her eyes but said nothing.
Seeing Shen Qinglan’s reaction, the oriental man became interested and whipped her again and again. Shen Qinglan could clearly feel the pain from the whip touching her flesh. Sweat gradually appeared on her forehead and her clothes were soaked with blood.
The man was tired of beating Shen Qinglan, so he stopped and looked at her who had been silent from the beginning. He sighed and said that this woman was not an ordinary rich girl. He would even believe that she was a trained agent. Her endurance was stronger than that of some men.
At this time, a tall woman walked in. She had a good figure with curves in all the right places, but there was a long scar on her face.
When she saw Shen Qinglan’s face, jealousy and hatred flashed in her eyes. This hatred was not directed at her, but at Fu Hengyi. In that operation, her lover died in Country Z.
She walked closer to Shen Qinglan and raised her head, “What a beauty.” Then she looked at the man, “You didn’t show mercy because she’s beautiful, did you? King said that we should treat her well.”
The man shrugged. “You can do it if you can.”
The woman curled her lips slightly and punched Shen Qinglan in the abdomen. Shen Qinglan’s brows were twisted together, but she didn’t make any sound. Seeing this, the woman frowned, seemed a little dissatisfied, raised her fist, and punched Shen Qinglan again.
When the woman stopped, Shen Qinglan’s forehead was already covered in sweat, but her expression was still calm. She had experienced these methods in the Devil’s Base, and even more horrible methods. How could she care about these?
“I didn’t expect this woman to be such a tough nut to crack, but her current appearance should be enough to send to Fu Hengyi.”
The woman took out her cell phone and took a few photos of Shen Qinglan.
In the photo, Shen Qinglan was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed.
“I just wonder if Fu Hengyi will go crazy when he sees a photo like this?” The woman said to herself. She spoke in English, and she believed that Shen Qinglan must know what she was talking about.
But no matter what she said, Shen Qinglan said nothing, and didn’t even look at them, giving people the feeling that they were facing an emotionless and unconscious puppet.
The woman talked for a long time and saw that Shen Qinglan didn’t respond at all. So, anger flashed in her eyes, “You have a tough temper. You can persist, right? Okay, I’ll see how long you can persist.”
As she spoke, the woman called two men over and brought Shen Qinglan into a small dark room. Then, as soon as the door was closed, the room fell into darkness.
Because she had just been tortured, they were sure that Shen Qinglan could not escape, so they did not tie her hands and feet this time. Shen Qinglan sat up, raised her head and looked at the only vent in the room, which was about two meters from the ground and was very small, about the size of a child’s head.
The door was made of thick iron plates and could not be opened from the inside unless it was opened from the outside.
The room was dark. Apart from the faint light coming from the air vents, there was no other light source. This little light did not look like natural light, but more like lamplight.
Shen Qinglan immediately understood that this should be a basement. They locked her up here, obviously to torture her mentally.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, in a mocking arc. These people’s methods were only this much.
Shen Qinglan moved her hands and feet. She didn’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, because she sweated a lot due to the torture, which actually relieved some of the effects of the medicine in her body.
There were some superficial injuries on her body. Perhaps they didn’t want to beat her to death, so they didn’t hit her too hard. Although the wounds looked horrifying, they did not break her bones.
Shen Qinglan groped around slowly and found that there was a bed in the room. She lay down on it and then reached out to touch the necklace around her neck. At the end of the necklace was a heart-shaped pendant inlaid with several diamonds. Shen Qinglan gently pressed the diamond in the middle, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. She was very tired and needed to rest.
When Shen Qinglan opened her eyes, it was still pitch black in front of her. She didn’t know whether it was day or night, but according to her estimation, she had slept for about six hours. It was sunny outside when those people sent her into this small dark room, and it was at most early morning now.
She had just woken up and was not sleepy at all. Her eyes were open, but her mind was thinking about how to escape from this place.
The sensing distance of the positioning device on her body was too short, and she was not sure whether it would be useful. The longer she stayed here, the higher the risk factor would be. And she didn’t know how Yan Xi was doing now. From the conversation with the man today, Shen Qinglan was sure that Yu Xiaoxuan was fine, after all Eden and Sisli were following behind, so she would definitely be fine.
The wounds on her body had not been treated and were aching slightly. Shen Qinglan frowned and changed her posture.
Someone would bring her food every day, passing it in through a small window. There was only a piece of bread and a bottle of water, nothing else. Shen Qinglan noticed that their meal delivery time was not fixed, which meant that it was impossible to judge how many days she had been locked up here based on their meal delivery time and frequency.
She was the only one in the small dark room. It was so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat. In the first two days, Shen Qinglan spent most of her time sleeping. Only when she fell asleep could she ignore the pain in her body.
Starting from the third day, Shen Qinglan reduced her sleep time, probably because she couldn’t fall asleep again after sleeping enough. She didn’t know how long she had been locked up here. She silently estimated in her heart that Eden and the others should have come to the Triangle, but she didn’t know where they were and whether they could find her.
Unable to sleep, Shen Qinglan’s mind gradually resurfaced with past events. Thinking of the little boy she met when she was abducted by human traffickers, she clearly remembered that the boy had a small scar on his wrist. According to him, he was scalded by boiling water because he was playing too much. Because it was not treated in time, this scar was left.
Zhao Wei had such a scar on his body, in the same position. Although the mark was lighter, it was indeed a burn. However, she was not sure whether Zhao Wei was the boy from that year. She originally wanted to confirm it, but was delayed because of this incident.
Shen Qinglan still remembered that little boy, the first person who gave her warmth during those difficult years.
Perhaps it was because the environment was too quiet, so the memories of the past became clearer. Scenes from the past came to mind, and Shen Qinglan’s eyes gradually became confused.
From the first time she went to the Devil’s Base at the age of five, to the first time she stabbed a dagger into someone’s body at the age of seven, the first time she carried out a mission at the age of eleven, the time she got the Lycoris radiata tattoo at the age of thirteen, the time she destroyed the base at the age of fifteen, the time she returned to the Shen family at the age of sixteen, the time she met Fu Hengyi at the age of twenty-one and married him, to the time she was proposed to by Fu Hengyi at the age of twenty-two.
Her experiences in life were like movie clips playing frame by frame in her mind, over and over again. Many things that she didn’t want to think about before were now remembered again, and her heart no longer seemed to feel the same pain that she had at that time.
