Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

Mu Yanxin was speechless with surprise. Lan Feifei was her father's intern, the girl who was framed by her father and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

She was actually Leng Tingye's fiancée, and Mu Yanxin felt a strange, indescribable discomfort.

But now is not the time to think about that. Mu Yanxin just wants to know what happened back then!

"Brother, what exactly happened back then? Tell me, Dad wasn't like what they said, was he?"

Song Siwen's voice was hoarse, "I don't really know much about what happened that day!"

Song Siwen gripped her hand tightly, her voice filled with unknown fear, "Stay away from him, the farther the better, do you hear me?"

The door opened, and Aunt Chun stood in the doorway and called out to those inside, "It's time!"

Mu Yanxin's tears fell uncontrollably again. "Brother, please hold on a little longer. I will definitely get you out of here as soon as possible! Then we'll go to a place where there's no one!"

"Brother, you must be strong and live on!"

Song Siwen kept repeating the same thing: "Nuan'er, stay away from that person!"

Mu Yanxin nodded through her tears, and as she stood up, she vowed to get her brother away from this awful place as soon as possible.

ASAP!

The door slammed shut behind her, imprisoning all her vulnerabilities.

As she returned the way she came, she carefully observed the surroundings. There were at least a hundred such doors underground, which meant there were a hundred such rooms.

If each room contains only one person, then it means that at least a hundred people are being held captive there.

Why were the people in the other rooms locked up?

Of course, these are just her guesses. Whether there are people locked in the other rooms, who they are, or what is in those rooms remains to be seen.

In short, it can't be brought to light.

Coming up from underground, the light was a bit too bright, so she raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light, barely able to open them.

Two people walked towards us: a middle-aged woman supporting a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old; to be precise, they looked more like she was escorting a criminal.

The girl being held captive had a blank stare and a numb expression. She glanced at Mu Yanxin.

Suddenly, he started making a huge fuss, like a madman.

Chun Sao gave the middle-aged woman a meaningful look, "What's going on?"

The middle-aged woman lowered her head and said, "She has some mental issues and is having an episode today. I'm taking her to rest."

The girl who was going crazy wanted to say something, but she just kept opening her mouth without being able to utter a word.

Mu Yanxin suddenly felt that the crazy girl in front of her looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember where!

"Then hurry up and take her downstairs to rest!"

"Ok!"

The crazy girl was so thin that the wind could blow her away, and she was easily caught by the middle-aged woman.

As she passed Mu Yanxin, the crazy girl looked anxious and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

She stared at Mu Yanxin until she had walked past, then turned back to look at her again.

Mu Yanxin asked Chun's sister-in-law, "Who is she?"

“The factory workers,” Aunt Chun pointed ahead, “there’s something wrong with them; they go crazy every now and then!”

"Oh!"

But she only went mad when she saw Mu Yanxin; her eyes were filled with nothing but numbness and fear.

And in such a huge factory, apart from the sounds of machinery, there wasn't a single human voice. Everything here felt wrong.

Xia He had said that her sister was being controlled by the Mu family. Suddenly, she remembered that the crazy girl from the past looked so familiar. She was Xia He's sister, Xia Lu.

Could this be the Mu family's illicit business?

Mu Yanxin turned around and saw Xia Lu still looking at her. Aunt Chun urged, as if afraid of being discovered, "Let's go! Madam is still waiting!"

Mu Yanxin looked away. "Okay!"

She didn't ask anything more. She knew that even if she did, Aunt Chun wouldn't give her the answer she wanted to hear, and it would only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Mu family.

Mrs. Mu was holding the necklace and admiring it with great affection.

"lady!"

Seeing Chun Sao and Mu Yanxin come in, she carefully put the necklace back into the box.

Her expression turned cold again. "You're back!"

Mu Yanxin walked past Aunt Chun and stood in front of Madam Mu, saying in a harsh tone, "You said my brother is in prison!"

Madam Mu retorted haughtily, "Isn't that how it is now?"

"You?" Mu Yan was speechless.

Indeed, the place Song Siwen is in now is no different from a prison. What angers her is that Madam Mu deceived her.

If Song Siwen were in a proper prison, at least her life would be guaranteed. But in that kind of environment, no one knows when she might die.

Despite her dissatisfaction, Mu Yanxin could only manage to utter one sentence: "You can't treat my brother like this!"

"What, you went to the dungeon and now you dare to talk to me like that?"

Mu Yanxin denied it, "No!"

Mu Yanxin dared not speak out against her anger.

"Don't try to play tricks on me, and don't think you can get away with anything just because you saw something! Don't even think about calling the police if you want your brother to live."

It turns out that she let her see all of this because she was certain that her brother would not dare to call the police.

Mu Yanxin clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and still maintained her submissive demeanor. "I wouldn't dare. I'll listen to whatever you say. I just hope you can change my brother's environment. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

Madam Mu said arrogantly, "What makes you think you can negotiate with me?"

Mu Yanxin said coldly, "I have no right to negotiate with you right now, but if anything happens to my brother, then I have no reason to listen to you!"

This was the first time Mu Yanxin had stated her demands directly. She was gambling, gambling with her own worth, just to free her brother from that inhuman torture before she took him away.

Madam Mu's eyelids darkened. "Are you threatening me?"

Mu Yanxin's eyes were firm. "I'm just analyzing the facts. The reason I obey you is entirely because of my brother. I think you know that better than anyone!"

Madam Mu, enraged, said, "Get this straight, you two siblings are here to atone for your filthy father's sins."

The oppressive tone created a tense atmosphere in the room.

Normally, she would have compromised, but when she saw her brother living in such inhuman conditions, she decided she could no longer endure it.

"Then I have no choice. If my brother dies, I won't care so much about life and death!"

These words, though seemingly gentle, directly revealed Mu Yanxin's attitude: if her brother died, she might do something reckless.

Madam Mu's face was gloomy, and she remained so for a long time.

"I promise you, I'll take your brother to a sanatorium to recuperate, but you have to find a way to marry into the Leng family within three months, otherwise your brother will go back to the dungeon!"

"I don't need to teach you the rest, do I?"

Since Madam Mu made a concession and offered a way out, Mu Yanxin readily accepted, "I understand!"
