his eyes were taped, he couldn't see anything, he was surrounded by darkness.

the fear in her heart was magnified by the darkness in front of her. the scene of little yang getting shot in the head repeatedly flashed through her mind. she did not know what would happen next, but she knew that it would definitely not be a good thing.

kobayashi started the car and started off again. huo xiwen lay in the trunk for who knows how long before she felt pain and numbness all over her body, as if she were about to lose consciousness.

finally, the car stopped and he opened the trunk. the tape over his eyes and mouth was ripped open.

huo xiwen discovered that he was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the sky had already turned completely dark.

"what is this place?" what did you bring me here for? " huo xiwen looked at him, his eyes filled with fear.

he did not return her question. instead, he stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth.

huo xiwen turned his head. she didn't have the slightest bit of appet.i.te right now, so she couldn't eat at all.

"not eating?" "i hope you won't regret it," he said with a cold smile.

with that, he continued to eat.

"what are you trying to do?" huo xiwen asked.

"isn't my purpose obvious? or miss huo, you have never been kidnapped by anyone, so you still don't understand what's going on? " she took a sip of water.

"kidnapping? why did you kidnap me? is it for money? i can give you a lot of money, just name your price as long as you let me go. " how could huo xiwen not think that his capture must be related to that fake fu mujun? however, she still held a trace of hope in her heart, hoping that this third minister would be able to open his eyes to money.

"miss huo is so cute." with a smile, he sealed her mouth and eyes again and stuffed her into the trunk.

the car moved on, this time for a long time, and huo xiwen, tired and uncomfortable, fell asleep several times in the trunk and then woke up again.

by the time she was let out of the trunk again, it was the afternoon of the next day.

after a day and a night without food or water, she had collapsed completely.

looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, she felt dizzy and even the strength to breathe was running out.

he took a bottle of mineral water and put it in her mouth. this time, huo xiwen no longer refused to be fed. instead, he drank the water in big gulps.

after drinking half of the bottle of water in one go, santian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw her bedraggled appearance.

"i thought you could hold on for a long time."

huo xi wen drank some water and regained some of his spirit. she looked at him coldly, "i know that your boss has been captured. you kidnapped me to exchange for him back, right?"

"oh? you know, i thought you didn't. " kanda raised an eyebrow.

"you don't need to dream. they finally managed to catch him after so much difficulty. how could they possibly let him go?" i advise you to be tactful and let me go immediately and run away. otherwise, when the police catch you, you will have to go and accompany your boss. " huo xiwen wanted to scare him first.

"did miss huo underestimate her own importance? you are much more important than you can imagine. i believe that it is more than enough to trade you for my boss. " he sat down across from her with a piece of flannel in his hand and wiped his pistol.

he turned around and looked at his surroundings. he found himself in what seemed to be a bas.e.m.e.nt, with no light coming in from outside. the only light in the room was from the lamp above kanda's head.

"what is this place?" she asked after a moment of silence.

"miss huo, if i were you, i wouldn't ask so much." kanda said.

"what do you mean?" huo xiwen asked.

"don't you know that the person who dies the fastest is always the person who knows the most?"

"you won't kill me, and you still want me in exchange for your boss." huo xiwen said confidently.

since it had already fallen into his hands, and she understood his intentions, she was no longer as afraid as she was before.

after all, in this situation, fear couldn't help her escape danger. what she needed now was calm.

"that's true. for the time being, i will not kill you." santian narrowed his eyes and smiled. then, his face turned exceptionally hideous in an instant. "but, the way to torture a person is not only through death."

"what do you mean?" huo xiwen instantly felt his scalp tingle as he realized the hidden danger in his words.

seeing her frightened eyes, san tian grinned and said: "don't worry, i only use those special methods on special people. miss huo, you are the boss's lover, so i will treat you better."

"who the h.e.l.l is your boss?" huo xiwen finally asked this question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"you want to know?" he asked her.

"of course." she had always wanted to know, but he had disguised himself so well that she hadn't been able to find any clues.

"boss is so pitiful. he treats you so well, but you never know who he is." he shook his head and sighed.

huo xiwen found this strange.

what did he mean by being so good to her, but she never knew who he was?

should she have guessed who he was?

after thinking about it carefully, this person had disguised himself to look like fu muyun in order to approach her. could it be that they knew each other before?

not only did they know each other, their relationship should be closer. otherwise, he wouldn't know that she liked the matter of fu muyun.

however, when she thought about the people around her, only a few knew of her relationship with fu muyun, and they didn't have any suspicious targets.

could it be him?

however, that was impossible. wasn't that person already dead?

"have you thought of something?" kanda looked at her, his eyes half smiling.

"no …" "impossible, he died a long time ago, how could he …" she shook her head in disbelief.

"didn't fu muyun also die?" mitsui raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

huo xiwen was shocked when he heard this. "how did you know that fu muyun …" still alive?

"speaking of which, i have to thank you, miss huo. initially, the boss only guessed that he might still be alive and wasn't sure if he was. even if he knew that he was still alive, he wouldn't be able to find him anywhere. however, miss huo, why did you go to the mansion of chen yanzhuo, the daughter of the huo group, a few days ago? why did you go to the home of the a.s.sistant president of ming zhu group? isn't that suspicious? " he spoke slowly.
