Capítulo 1450: Chapter 1450: Each to Their Own (2)
Duan Qianyang could only follow along.
As Xiu Xi had particularly instructed, the room where Feng Nianian was held had nothing but a bed, with the two burly men Ruan Hao hired yesterday guarding outside.
Jiaojiao and her group arrived early; the two men were taking turns to guard, with one already sleeping soundly, and the other yawning repeatedly. Upon seeing them arrive, he jolted awake and kicked the other man beside him.
The large man must have been dreaming, probably a nightmare, as he jumped up in fright and looked around. “What’s going on, what’s going on!”
Seeing Duan Qianyang and the others, his mind instantly cleared.
Then, as if remembering something, his face changed, showing a hint of guilt. His eyes darted around, not daring to meet their gaze.
Jiaojiao’s heart tightened at the sight, her first reaction was worry that Feng Nianian might have escaped!
Apparently, the other three had the same thought, and Xiu Xi immediately kicked the door open.
Xiu Xi had always been strong, but kicking open a locked door in one kick still seemed exaggerated to Duan Qianyang. He glanced at him, then finally looked inside, relieved to see Feng Nianian was still there.
Feng Nianian’s hands and feet were bound, not only to prevent escape but also to prevent suicide. What Jiaojiao hadn’t expected was her mouth was bound as well!
A long towel was wedged between her teeth, tied at the back of her head, appearing tightly secured.
“Meow?” Is it to prevent biting off the tongue?
But logically, biting the tongue isn’t necessarily fatal.
“Uh, that, that was me who tied it,” the previously guilty-looking man explained awkwardly from the side.
Apparently, after Xiu Xi and the others left yesterday, Duan Qianyang dropped them here and departed. Feng Nianian somehow managed to spit out the gag in her mouth and kept laughing mechanically in the dead of night, which was extraordinarily creepy. Despite his large stature and strength, the guard was afraid of eerie things like this. So not only did he shove the gag back in her mouth, he even specifically found a towel to tie it, finally stopping her from making those bizarre laughs.
Listening to the man’s explanation, Duan Qianyang also had experienced her laughter last night, so he couldn’t say much, just remarked helplessly, “Go untie it first.”
The man, relieved they hadn’t blamed him, immediately rushed over to untie her.
Previously, Jiaojiao had seen Feng Nianian hanging her head, thinking she wasn’t awake. However, when the man went to untie her gag, she realized Feng Nianian had been awake all along.
For as soon as the man unraveled the towel, she suddenly lifted her head and looked directly at her, her gaze filled with the same blatant greed and plundering intent as before.
Jiaojiao felt a shiver from her gaze, but with Xiu Xi by her side, she managed to stay composed.
Jiaojiao initially thought she might say something or ask questions like identifying them or questioning how she was discovered. Yet, Feng Nianian simply glanced once, and after Xiu Xi’s colder gaze pushed her back, she lowered her head, neither speaking nor inquiring, like a mere doll with only her eyes moving and nothing else.
“Meow??” Are you Yuan Manman?
Jiaojiao proactively asked.
Feng Nianian showed no response, as if she hadn’t heard at all.
