A man pushed Tang Xinyue in the van, forcing her in.
"Qianyun, even if you don't want anything to do with us anymore, but you can't escape the boss." The man continued pushing her in.
"B- but I really don't know who this Qianyun is!" Tang Xinyue shrieked as the man entered the van and closed the door.
"Stop with the act, Sister Qianyun. It's quite sad at this point." A female spoke this time.
They removed their black overalls, and what was left were tanktops and short jeans.
"Whew, that was hot."
Tang Xinyue saw their faces, and she did not know what to do. They were unfamiliar to her, she really didn't know where she was headed.
After a while, the van was silent, driving along the road with a high speed.
Tang Xinyue was wet all over, her sweat not stopping. She became thirsty, hesitant to remove her black clothes.
"Sister Qianyun, why don't you remove your disguise? We've already recognized you." One of the men in tanktops spoke.
"Er, I... I'm fine."
"Isn't it hot though?"
"Umm, no..."
.....
Soon, they arrived at a skyscraper. As tall as it was, there were no people going in and out of it.
"What?"
The people got off the van, and Tang Xinyue, not knowing what to do, followed them.
They walked around the skyscraper, which made Tang Xinyue confused. "Isn't this where we're going?"
"Huh? What are you saying, Qianyun? You don't need to act oblivious anymore. It's getting on my nerves."
Tang Xinyue sneered at the man, and with her facemask covering her mouth, the man didn't notice.
An entrance was on the back, and they entered it. There was only one path, which led to an elevator.
Beside the elevator, there were two buttons. Up or down.
"But... isn't this the first floor?"
However, instead of either button, the man removed the cover, and inside was a plethora of wires enough to make her head spin.
He reached into the gaping hole, and a clicking sound echoed from inside.
The elevator opened slowly, and all of them entered. Tang Xinyue was the only one left outside.
"What are you doing, Qianyun? Come in already!"
"I don't know..."
Frustrated, the man pulled Tang Xinyue in.
As soon as she entered the elevator, the two sides of the elevator door crashed into each other, leaving a dent.
The lift began to descend in a rapid pace.
With the sudden descent, Tang Xinyue instinctively held onto the nearest object she could find, and that was an arm.
"...!" The man felt his arm being pulled down.
"Qianqian, what are you doing?" He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to shake Tang Xinyue off.
"I, I'm afraid..." Tang Xinyue uttered, her whole body shivering.
All of the people looked at Tang Xinyue weirdly. She was like this when she first went into this place, but this is the tenth time she rode this elevator. The last three times, she acted composed and did not grab any more arms.
What caused her to be so afraid again?
Seeing Tang Xinyue like this, the man decided to stop trying to shake her off.
The elevator eventually slowed down, and Tang Xinyue regained her senses. She saw the man's arm up close.
On closer inspection, she saw that the man had a perfect figure, befitting for a god. She looked at the man's face and nodded her head in satisfaction. This handsome face suits this perfect body...
The man felt Tang Xinyue's gaze directed on his head. He saw her staring at him with a satisfied expression.
"Let go." He spoke coldly, leaving Tang Xinyue slightly scared. She found this disposition somewhat familiar, but she could not put her finger on it.
She unwrapped herself around the man's arm and stood up straight.
The elevator opened, and the group of four exited, with Tang Xinyue following them from afar.
Only now did she take the time to identify each one's features.
There were three males, and one female.
The males consisted of the man she held onto earlier, another one with a body full of scars, and the last one was a spiky haired teenager.
Meanwhile, the female had a voluptuous body, as the tanktop she wore barely covered her skin. She reeked of expensive perfume, and her hair was tied up in a bun.
Clueless, Tang Xinyue followed meekly behind them.
The path was white-walled, and the end was nowhere to be seen. In fact, there were multiple pathways.
"Is... is it this way?" The teen pointed to the left.
"No, I think it's this way." The woman pointed to the opposite direction.
"I don't know about you guys, but I think it's this way." The scar ridden man pointed straight.
"What do you think?" The three spoke in chorus as they looked at the cold man.
"Tsk." He sneered before he stomped his foot on the floor, revealing a secret pathway that went downwards.
"Even farther down?" Tang Xinyue could not help but comment. "I think it's not that way."
"Huh, then where do you suppose we go?"
She jumped and pulled a handle on the roof. A ladder slid down.
"It's here." Somehow, Tang Xinyue felt like she knew the way around.
The cold man followed her, and smiled satisfiedly. The smile was unnoticeable.
