He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

"What?"

Fu Lu's voice came through the phone.

The noise seemed especially loud in the quiet bathroom.

Song Zhi quickly picked up her phone, turned off the speakerphone, and then whispered, "I'll go out and take a look."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and walked towards the bedroom door.

She gently opened the door.

The entire living room was pitch black.

When she first came in, she didn't turn on the lights and went straight into the bedroom to take a shower and go to sleep.

The light switch for the living room is in the entryway, so if she wants to turn on the light, she has to go to the entryway.

Just as Song Zhi was hesitating about whether to go out, a thud came from the old lady's room.

There was someone in the old lady's room.

A thief broke into my house.

This realization instilled a sense of fear in Song Zhi.

Song Zhi instinctively shrank back into the bedroom, locked the door from the inside, and leaned against it.

"Song Xiaozhi, what's wrong? Say something."

Fu Lu's voice came through the phone.

Only then did Song Zhi belatedly realize that her hand holding the phone was trembling involuntarily.

She whispered into the phone, "Ninth Brother, a thief broke into my house, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, hide well first, I'll be right there."

Hearing Fu Lu's comforting voice, Song Zhi couldn't help but sob softly.

Fu Lu gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll be there soon."

"Ah."

"Don't hang up the phone, I'll stay with you."

"it is good."

Time passed minute by minute.

There was no more noise outside.

Song Zhi couldn't help but begin to doubt whether she had made a mistake.

During this time of day, how could a thief dare to break into the house?

Thinking of this, Song Zhi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She whispered into her phone, "There's no sound outside..."

As she spoke, she got up and gently unlocked the bedroom door.

Before I could even open the door, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Caught off guard, Song Zhi was knocked to the ground, and her phone fell off the bed.

Before Song Zhi could react, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.

The next second, a strong force pulled her up.

Song Zhi stared wide-eyed in terror, twisting her body with all her might, trying to break free from the hand that was holding her.

However, the other party clearly had no intention of letting her go, and effortlessly lifted her up and carried her towards the bedroom.

"You, you let me go right now, or I'll call the police!"

Song Zhi screamed hoarsely, waving her hands wildly, trying her best to push this terrifying person away.

But no matter how hard she tried, the other person's hand held her tightly as if it were rooted to the spot.

Fear and despair gripped Song Zhi's heart. In her panic, she lowered her head and bit down hard on the other person's thick arm.

Caught off guard, the man gasped in pain and let out a piercing scream.

However, instead of letting go, he raised his other hand and slapped Song Zhi hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp, loud slap echoed in the room. Song Zhi felt a sudden dizziness and her head was buzzing.

Her cheeks instantly swelled up, a burning pain washed over her like a tidal wave, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, the man forcefully flung Song Zhi onto the bed.

Her lower back slammed against the hard corner of the bed, and a piercing pain instantly spread throughout her body, as if countless steel needles were pricking her nerves.

Song Zhi trembled all over in pain, curled up in a ball, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Even so, the instinct for survival drove Song Zhi to continue fighting.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and crawled laboriously toward the door using both her hands and feet.

Seeing that Song Zhi still refused to give in, a hint of anger flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his foot and kicked her in the waist without any mercy.

The kick was extremely powerful. Song Zhi screamed and arched her body like a shrimp, groaning in pain.

The man squatted down in front of her, grabbed her hair, and forced Song Zhi to face him.

Song Zhi looked at the other person with a terrified expression: "Who are you? I... I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon."

Upon hearing this, the other party showed no fear and let out a contemptuous sneer from their nose.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Song Zhi feigned composure and said, "What are you going to do? Let me go right now."

The other person stared intently at her, and then their gaze changed.

He slowly stretched out his rough, calloused hand and wiped Song Zhi's face.

Then, smacking his lips, he exclaimed with a lewd expression, "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this little face, it's as smooth as a freshly peeled egg."

As he spoke, his repulsive face eagerly moved closer and sniffed hard at Song Zhi's fair, snow-white neck.

He then revealed a lewd smile and said with a lewd grin, "You smell really good."

As he spoke, his filthy claws could no longer restrain themselves and began to roam freely along Song Zhixiu's long and beautiful neck.

Song Zhi was so frightened that she screamed.

Her heart was filled with fear and disgust.

too disgusting.

Extreme fear and nausea made her lose control. Her stomach churned violently, and she couldn't hold it in any longer. With a "whoosh," she vomited up all the food she had eaten at the hospital that night.

He vomited all over the other person.

The man's body stiffened abruptly. He lowered his head, staring intently at the mess of filth on his body, his face instantly contorting into a ferocious expression.

The next second, he raised his right hand and slapped Song Zhi's cheek hard without any mercy. With a crisp "smack", five clear finger marks appeared on the left side of Song Zhi's face.

The man was furious and roared through gritted teeth, "You dare to vomit all over me? Are you looking for death?"

Clearly, one slap was not enough to quell his anger, so he raised his hand again without hesitation and delivered another resounding slap to Song Zhi's other cheek.

My head, which was already a little dizzy, was now throbbing with pain, as if it were about to explode.

Seeing Song Zhi's swollen cheeks, the man was finally satisfied. He muttered a few curses under his breath, then quickly reached out and pulled off the worn-out leather belt around his waist. He roughly grabbed Song Zhi's hands and forcefully tied them to the footpost by the bed.

He walked toward the bathroom, grumbling and cursing.

A short while later, Song Zhi heard the rustling sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She struggled to undo the belt, but couldn't.

Song Zhi was both scared and anxious when she suddenly noticed her cell phone under the bed.

The screen shows that a call is in progress.

Song Zhi choked back tears as she spoke into the phone: "Ninth Brother..."

Fu Lu replied almost instantly: "I'll be there soon, wait for me for five minutes."

Upon hearing Fu Lu's voice, Song Zhi's tears of grievance uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.

She is both scared and aggrieved.
