Chapter 17: Going Out
Su Ruoqing stayed in her room every day, trying not to go out or meet Leng Yuhe.
Leng Yuhe seemed to have forgotten her existence at home, as he didn’t bother her for seven days.
He just got out early and came back late, busy with work.
After spending a week in peace, Su Ruoqing was woken up by the screams outside.
This time, it was a woman.
The guest room where Su Ruoqing stayed was just near the stairs. When she looked out from the door, she happened to be able to see the living room downstairs.
She saw a naked woman with nothing on, tied to something like a Trojan horse, blood flowing between her legs. Her hair messy, she screamed exhaustedly.
Leng Yuhe was sitting on the sofa across from her, with his back to Su Ruoqing, who couldn’t see his face.
A sergeancy next to him, holding up a heavy whip, slammed the woman on the back and asked in a cold voice, “Tell me, why did you try to assassinate Young General! Who sent you?”
The whip fell on the skin with popping sounds. When the flesh was torn, blood burst out. The scene was extremely bloody.
Su Ruoqing felt her limbs were cold, so she hurriedly locked the door.
Even so, the sound of beating and the woman’s screams were still very clear.
Was that what happened to the ones who tried to assassinate Leng Yuhe?
She had attacked Leng Yuhe once, too, so would she end up like this?
After three weeks, the one-month period would be gone. As soon as Leng Yuhe played with her body and lost his interest, he would definitely do the same to her.
That man was so vicious that he never showed any mercy to others…
Her fear quickly spread, while the sound of the whip outside the door was heard as if it had fallen on the back of Su Ruoqing, making her feel cold all over.
No, she had to escape before that…
She must escape, never coming back.
After the woman’s scream finally stopped, the sound of the servants cleaning up and the steady footsteps as Leng Yuhe passed the door came from outside.
Just listening to his footsteps, Su Ruoqing sweated on her forehead, fearing that the man would kick the door open and rush in…
Fortunately, he just returned to his room and then closed the door, wanting to rest.
The room gradually fell into silence.
But Su Ruoqing didn’t sleep all night.
Every time she closed her eyes, she couldn’t sleep as she thought of the images of blood and cruelty.
The next morning, after Leng Yuhe left, she immediately got up and washed her face before walking out of the bedroom.
“Miss Su.” A young maid came up, politely asking, “Do you need breakfast?”
Su Ruoqing shook her head. “No, I’m going out now.”
The maid paused for a while and then asked, “Did Young Master allow you to?”
Su Ruoqing replied casually, “Yes, he did. If you don’t believe me, just call him.”
But she was certain that none of these young maids really dared to call and ask.
Walking around the maid, Su Ruoqing quickly went out.
She was about to step out of the gate of this dreadful house when the old butler suddenly appeared in front of her, saying kindly, “Miss Su, I’ll arrange a car for you.”
Su Ruoqing refused, “No, I’ll take a taxi by myself.”
To be in their car would be like being watched, so she wouldn’t want to.
The bulter insisted, “No, we must ensure your safety. Please let me arrange a car for you.”
Noticing his gentle face but aggressive attitude, Su Ruoqing looked down. “Okay.”
If there was a car to send her, it would be troublesome to escape, but it was not that she couldn’t figure out a way. Anyway, she would leave this horrible place first.
The car was arranged and quickly came over. Then Su Ruoqing got in and left under the butler’s gaze.
Moving gradually farther away from the house full of terrible memories, Su Ruoqing was in a better mood inexplicably.
The sun was shining outside the car window, as the street scenery regressed all the way. The shops were lined up, while the pedestrians were coming and going.
Su Ruoqing stared at the bustling scenery outside and then slowly looked away.
She could definitely escape to somewhere far away!
Definitely!
