Xie Zhaoyuan did not believe Qin Wushuang's promise.

Since he had decided to imprison her for life, he absolutely could not tolerate her indefinitely. His current promises were nothing but empty words; once they successfully left the country, Qin Wushuang would inevitably take action against her.

She could no longer sit idly by and wait to die; she had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

At 12:30 pm sharp, Aunt Bai knocked on the door to bring her lunch. She lay listlessly on the bed and said coldly to the door, "The door isn't locked, just come in."

Aunt Bai said "Eh" and then opened the door and brought in all the food.

Xie Zhaoyuan hadn't eaten breakfast and was already very hungry. As soon as the food was set out, she got out of bed and sat down at the dining table.

Aunt Bai took out chopsticks and handed them to her: "This pork knuckle is still very hot, I just braised it. Xiao Song, blow on it while you eat it so you don't burn yourself."

"Hmm." Xie Zhaoyuan gave a perfunctory reply, picked up her rice bowl, and began to eat.

Aunt Bai wisely moved to the other side, not blocking her way.

She picked at her rice in her bowl expressionlessly, and after a while suddenly asked, "Is Qin Wushuang downstairs?"

"No," Aunt Bai replied with a smile.

Xie Zhaoyuan paused in her act of picking up food, a cunning glint in her eyes.

But Aunt Bai then added, "Mr. Qin is upstairs. His room is right next to yours, and if nothing unexpected happens, he's having a video conference right now."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "..."

"Can you speak without panting in the future?"

"Huh?" Aunt Bai didn't understand what she meant. "I'm not panting. I'm in great health, I don't even pant when I climb stairs."

"..." Xie Zhaoyuan didn't know how to explain, so she simply remained silent.

After lunch, Aunt Bai cleared away the dishes and went downstairs. Xie Zhaoyuan was left alone in her room with nothing to do.

With Pei Xingzhi not around, she never sleeps soundly. She can't sleep well at night, and she can't sleep well during the day either, so even though she's feeling a little sleepy now, she doesn't want to go to bed.

She paced anxiously around the room a few times, unable to find a solution, so she opened the door and went to the living room.

There was a very large TV in the living room. Xie Zhaoyuan searched through the TV cabinet for a long time, but couldn't find the remote control to turn on the TV.

"What the hell..." she kicked the cabinet in front of her angrily and turned to go back to her room. But as she passed Qin Wushuang's door, she vaguely heard several suppressed voices through the crack in the doorway.

Aunt Bai said that Qin Wushuang was having a video conference in his room, so these voices must be Qin Wushuang and his employees.

Did his employees know that their boss had kidnapped his own sister?

Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly wanted to take a gamble.

"Bang bang bang!"

Without hesitation, she raised her hand and pounded on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Qin Wushuang, open the door!"

She was like a superhero, not only banging on the door loudly, but also shouting at the top of her lungs, "Open the door now, I need to talk to you!"

Are you deaf? Can't you hear me?

"Qin Wushuang, it's me, Xie Zhaoyuan! Can't you even recognize my voice?"

"I can hear it."

Qin Wushuang finally opened the door.

"Sigh..." He sighed helplessly, his eyes looking at Xie Zhaoyuan without any anger, only tender doting and indulgence.

"What's wrong, Xiao Song? Is there something you need that you're looking for me in such a hurry?"

Xie Zhaoyuan glared at him impatiently, took a step, and barged directly into Qin Wushuang's room.

"You don't mind if I come in and browse around, do you?" she asked, feigning innocence, after she had already gone inside.

Qin Wushuang closed the door behind her, a rare bright smile on her face: "Of course I don't mind. Xiaosong can wander around however she wants, and she can move around the things in the room as she pleases."

"Tch..." Xie Zhaoyuan rolled her eyes dismissively, "Who cares to touch your things..."

As she spoke, she casually strolled over to Qin Wushuang's desk, her gaze fleeting across his computer screen without leaving a trace.

He was indeed in a video conference just now; the computer screen was still showing the end of the meeting.

I wonder how well this room is soundproofed. Did Qin Wushuang's employees hear Xie Zhaoyuan's knocking just now?

"Xiao Song." Qin Wushuang leaned against the wall by the door, looking at her tenderly. "Didn't you say you wanted to see me about something?"

"There's something wrong." Xie Zhaoyuan walked out from behind the desk and strolled to the door in a nonchalant manner. "Where did you hide the TV remote? I've looked everywhere and can't find it."

"TV remote..." Qin Wushuang raised an eyebrow arrogantly, "Xiao Song wants to watch TV?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Otherwise what? If I don't want to watch TV, why would I need the remote?"

Qin Wushuang smiled slightly: "But there is no TV remote in this villa. I had them all put away before you moved in."

"...Why?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked, knowing the answer already.

Qin Wushuang didn't beat around the bush with her: "Because Xiaosong is very cunning. If she watches TV, she might figure out a way to escape."

“Like this.” As he spoke, he pulled a pair of wired headphones from his coat pocket. “These headphones have excellent noise isolation; it’s very difficult to record Xiao Song’s voice.”

"..."

Xie Zhaoyuan was speechless.

Qin Wushuang looked at her with a helpless expression: "Xiao Song, be good and stop messing around with yourself."

Xie Zhaoyuan ignored him and simply opened the door and walked out.

He watched her retreating figure and said softly, "If Xiaosong is bored, you can come to my room to read. Once we leave here safely, you won't have to live such a boring life anymore."

"None of your business!" Xie Zhaoyuan retorted angrily.

He watched her walk into the room and slam the door shut before casually putting away his headphone cord and turning back to his computer desk.

There are actually two interfaces on the computer screen, but the first interface is blocked by the video conferencing software.

Qin Wushuang turned off the video software, and the first screen appeared in front of him.

He watched Xie Zhaoyuan pacing back and forth in the video, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, forming a playful arc...

The first attempt to contact the outside world ended in failure, but Xie Zhaoyuan was not convinced and started a second time.

The next morning, while Qin Wushuang was out of the room, she secretly slipped in and stole a lot of paper and pens.

She hid the paper and pen in her clothes and took them back to her room. She went straight into the bathroom and started writing on the paper.

"If anyone sees this note, please call the police for me. My name is Xie Zhaoyuan, online name Pei Dahua, and I am currently being held captive by Qin Wushuang in a mountain villa."

She wrote this sentence on every single page. She hurriedly wrote more than a dozen pages, and then began to think about how to send them out.
