I had to start looking for a new place to live. It wasn’t easy. With Chen Yi secretly sabotaging me, many landlords avoided me like the plague.
A Zhe was anxious and wanted me to temporarily move in with him.
“Lin Wan Jie, I have plenty of empty rooms at my place, you…”
“No, thank you, A Zhe.” I interrupted him, my tone firm. “I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t impose on you.”
I couldn’t drag him into this mess. That madman Chen Yi was capable of anything.
In the end, I found an old house in a remote village far from the city center that was barely livable. The conditions were poor and transportation was inconvenient, but it was my only option at the moment.
On moving day, A Zhe insisted on coming to help. Watching him rush around, sweating profusely, I felt a pang of guilt.
“A Zhe, thank you so much.”
“Lin Wan Jie, there’s no need to be polite with me.” He wiped his sweat and flashed a sunny smile. “It’s tough for you alone; if I can help even a little, I will.”
He paused, looking at me with serious eyes. “Lin Wan Jie, have you really thought about us? I will treat you well and protect you; I won’t let him hurt you again.”
I fell silent.
Seeing his sincere face made me waver. But in the end, reason triumphed over emotion.
“A Zhe,” I gently shook my head. “I’m sorry. Right now… I really can’t think about relationships. And I don’t want to drag you down with me.”
The light in A Zhe’s eyes dimmed, but he managed a forced smile. “It’s okay, Lin Wan Jie. I… I’ll wait for you.”
After sending A Zhe off, I looked around the shabby house and felt lost.
Chen Yi, how far are you going to push me? Do you think this will make me submit?
I took out my drawing board and set it up in the corner. In the dim light, I began to draw. The brush was my only weapon against this world and against him.
As long as I can still paint, I won't be defeated. However, I underestimated Chen Yi's madness.
A few days later, late at night, I was painting when I suddenly heard strange noises outside. I stood up cautiously and walked to the window, pulling back a corner of the curtain. Outside in the yard, there was a Black Car parked without its headlights on, like a beast lurking in the darkness. Several shadowy figures crept toward my gate.
A chill ran down my spine as a bad premonition surged within me! It was Chen Yi's people! I immediately locked the door and reached for my phone to call the police. But there was no signal—just emptiness! They had tampered with it!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of violent banging on the door echoed, and the fragile wooden door trembled under the fierce assault. I trembled in fear, my heart racing as I desperately searched for a place to hide or escape. But this room was too small; there was nowhere to conceal myself!
"Bang!" With a loud crash, the lock was smashed open! Several Brawny Men in black suits rushed in! Their faces were cold and expressionless as they approached me directly.
"What do you want?! Let me go! Help!" I screamed in terror, struggling with all my might. But my strength was no match for them.
My mouth was covered, my hands and feet were bound behind me, and a piece of black cloth was placed over my eyes. I was roughly dragged and shoved into a car.
The car roared to life and sped away. I was engulfed in an endless abyss of darkness and fear.
Chen Yi...
You lunatic! How could you... kidnap me?!
