Unknown was always the most terrifying.
Not being able to see the person behind, nor knowing the
intentions of the person behind, made Ruan Qing even more uneasy. He struggled
desperately, trying to break free from the restraints.
“Umm... umm...”
However, his body was just too weak. Even with all his
strength, he couldn’t budge the person behind him even the slightest bit. He
couldn’t even turn his head to see who was behind him.
He could only be dragged beneath the dark staircase.
The hand covering the boy’s mouth was slightly oversized,
with a frame that only a man would have, and the figure behind him was tall,
undoubtedly a man.
The man’s strength was also quite strong, making the boy’s
face turn slightly red, contrasting against his fair skin.
Because the boy struggled so fiercely, his hair was
disheveled on his forehead. In his clean and beautiful eyes, there was panic
and fear, dazzling like a beautiful ghost that had stepped out of an ink
painting, making it hard to look away.
Even in a five-star hotel, not every corner was illuminated.
The remote corners of the staircase, where no one would pass by, were unlit.
Even the light from nearby windows couldn’t reach this spot
because it was standing in the shadow beneath the staircase.
But even so, two figures could vaguely be seen moving under
the staircase.
The slender boy was pressed against the wall by the tall man,
and then his beautiful eyes were covered with something, completely plunging
his sight into darkness.
In the darkness, unable to see anything, people became even
more fearful and uneasy. It amplified all senses, making both the mind and body
more sensitive.
Especially hearing and perception.
This corner of the staircase didn’t seem to be far from his
previous location. The struggling boy could faintly hear the commotion of the
three people nearby, seemingly unaware that the boy had been taken away.
In the next second, Ruan Qing no longer had the energy to pay
attention to the distant sounds because he keenly sensed a hand slightly lifting
his clothes.
“Umm... umm...” Ruan Qing widened his eyes and struggled even
harder. The hand that originally wanted to remove the blindfold from his eyes
immediately changed direction and tried to stop the man’s hand.
However, because he was pinned against the wall by the man,
he couldn’t move at all. The man from behind easily caught him, grabbing his
wrist.
Just as the man was about to become even more audacious, the
sound of the fight not far away finally ceased, replaced by a commotion. Even
in this corner, one could clearly hear it.
Finally, someone noticed the disappearance of the young boy.
Ruan Qing also heard the sounds outside. He struggled with
all his might, hoping to attract the attention of people outside.
Unfortunately, the man’s strength was overpowering, and he
couldn’t resist.
Perhaps due to the boy’s intense struggle, the person behind
him grew impatient and directly swung a knife at the boy’s neck.
Ruan Qing’s vision went black, and his body instantly went
limp, falling into the man’s embrace, completely losing the ability to resist.
