Cen Xi woke up from a series of shakes.
Her eyes were blindfolded and she could not see her surroundings. Her hands were tied by a rope and she struggled continuously.
After about an hour, the rope tied to her wrists had become loose.
Cen Xi drew her hands out of the rope. The skin on her fair and delicate wrist was scraped and raw. It was red, swollen and bleeding. Even though it was painful, she managed not to utter a sound.
The car stopped abruptly.
Cen Xi could not hear the sounds outside, but she felt that the driver had gotten out of the car. Not wasting any time, Cen Xi pulled off the blindfold that was over her eyes.
As expected, there was no one else in the car. Cen Xi went to the car window and looked out discreetly. She saw that the woman, who had taken her captive, was talking with a muscular man.
That man held a scanner in his hand and said, "I'll check if there's any trackers on her. If there isn't, you can leave."
