Rong Dai wanted to hold her breath, but it was too late. She only felt a sudden weakness throughout her body before it went limp, yet her mind was very clear.
She looked into Zuo Ran's fierce eyes, wanting to cry out loudly for help, but realized she had no voice at all. Her entire being was like her soul had left her body.
Rong Dai watched helplessly as Zuo Ran took her away without the slightest ability to resist. Her heart was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Thinking of Zuo Ran's madness, Rong Dai's whole body turned icy cold, but her body would not obey her control. This feeling of powerlessness made the panic in her heart even greater!
Now she was really done for!
Falling into this mad woman's hands, she would surely not have a good outcome.
A bleak, despairing feeling rose in Rong Dai's heart. She looked at Zuo Ran, a smug smile on her face, her eyes creepy as if rejoicing over war spoils.
"I owe you a favor this time. I’ll pay back this favor. Have you got the plane tickets I wanted ready?"
Zuo Ran sat in the car, one hand clutching Rong Dai's arm while fishing out her phone with the other, seemingly calling someone.
Rong Dai’s body felt numb and weak, but her hearing was sharp. Although the voice from the phone wasn't loud, she felt it was somewhat familiar—she must have heard this voice somewhere before.
After Zuo Ran hung up, she looked down at Rong Dai with a maddened, stubborn smile. "Little Dai, don't worry. We can fly far away soon. We can be together forever."
She had an almost obsessed look, and her brightly painted fingernails lightly brushed over Rong Dai’s face, sending chills through her body.
This was simply a madwoman!
Rong Dai was helpless for the moment and could only hope Lu Ye or the driver would notice her disappearance soon and inform Huo Shao Ting to come rescue her.
Although extremely anxious internally, Rong Dai forced herself to stay calm and not provoke Zuo Ran, or else she would be the one suffering in the end.
All the way, Zuo Ran chattered incessantly in her ear. Rong Dai listened carefully, wanting to find out who would dare help release Zuo Ran.
She had thought she could learn the person's identity from Zuo Ran’s words, but Zuo Ran only professed her admiration for their mother and daughter relationship.
Rong Dai broke into a cold sweat on her back. She estimated internally that they had been traveling for about thirty minutes when the car stopped.
Then Zuo Ran poured some unknown substance into her mouth, and her mind went blank as she passed out completely.
When Rong Dai regained consciousness, she found herself already on an airplane!
Although she knew people could fly in this world, which was very novel to her, she definitely did not want her first time in the sky to be under these circumstances!
"Awake? Drink some water. Look at the sky outside, isn't it so blue? Doesn't the sunlight look so beautiful? Our future life will also be as wonderful as this."
Seeing that she had woken up, Zuo Ran handed her a bottle of water and gazed yearningly at the white clouds outside the airplane window, speaking gently.
Rong Dai felt goosebumps all over her body, a chill going down her back.
I don't want to have any wonderful life with you at all!
She wondered if Lu Ye and Huo Shao Ting had discovered her disappearance yet. Not counting the time she was unconscious, it had been at least several hours now.
Also, where did Zuo Ran get the powerful connections to get her on a plane? From what the original owner said, Zuo Ran was just a fallen woman who had mixed with the underworld, with no background at all.
Even if she had defrauded quite a bit of money from the original owner, having money didn't necessarily mean she could sneak Rong Dai onto a plane unnoticed!
Rong Dai's mind was full of questions. She was unfamiliar with this world, and now she didn't have anything on her—no money, no phone. Even after getting off the plane, she might not be able to escape.
"Where are we going?" She drank a sip of water, not knowing what Zuo Ran had poured into her before to make her so parched.
Zuo Ran beamed and reached out to grasp her hand. Rong Dai endured the disgust and didn't pull away.
"To a place where no one can ever find us. Little Dai, I’ll give you a wonderful wedding. I’ll always treat you well. As long as you don't leave me, I can agree to anything you say."
Zuo Ran spoke gently, as if cherishing a treasure.
Rong Dai's face was cold. She already felt fear towards Zuo Ran's madness.
But she could not let her emotions show, or it would further stimulate Zuo Ran. If Zuo Ran lost control, Rong Dai was helpless to call for aid now and did not want mutual destruction.
"Is that so? Didn't you say you would never hurt me? You knew I hated hospitals yet still forced me into one. Do you know how afraid and terrified I was?"
She turned to look at Zuo Ran, her eyes suddenly reddening as her face took on a grieved, aggrieved look.
For now, she could only wait. She had to believe in Huo Shao Ting—he was her only hope!
So before Huo Shao Ting arrived, she had to ensure her own safety and avoid any conflicts with Zuo Ran!
Seeing her like this, Zuo Ran's heart instantly softened, looking at Rong Dai remorsefully. "I'm sorry. I was just too afraid to lose you. Little Dai, promise me you'll never leave me, okay?"
Rong Dai was shocked, goosebumps rising layer upon layer on her arm. But what else could she do besides agree?
She nodded. "I promise, but can I rest now?"
She couldn't keep talking to this madwoman or she would be disgusted to death!
"Sleep well, you need to be fully rested to be a bride." Zuo Ran looked satisfied, gazing at her obsessively.
Rong Dai quickly closed her eyes, but how could she actually fall asleep?
Zuo Ran was clearly insane!
On Lu Ye's side, he had gone out drinking with some business partners and overindulged, only sobering up to find Rong Dai missing!
"Lu Hong, what exactly is going on here? How can she be missing?"
Lu Ye had a headache upon seeing so many missed calls and before he could call back, he got an incoming call from his younger brother Lu Hong.
Lu Hong sounded very bad. Hearing Rong Dai was missing, Lu Ye was so shocked his hair stood on end!
"That can't be! We were just eating at the restaurant and she said she was going to the restroom. I waited a long time without seeing her come back. Later a waiter came over saying she had left first. I even texted her and she replied! I can screenshot it for you, she sent me a message back!"
Lu Ye's head swelled instantly!
The woman was gone! And she was Huo Shao Ting's wife! The key was that she had disappeared while meeting him!
Lu Ye felt his life had gone dark, as if seeing the apocalypse arrive.
