Chapter 828 Internal Strife (1/2)

Jean heaved a sigh of regret as she held on to the tools.

If only she had put in better effort in searching the warehouse last night, she would have found the pair of scissors and she wouldn't have had spent six hours trying to wriggle herself free from the ropes tied around her hands with the help of a tiny screw.

However, at the same time, she was also worried that someone might suddenly come in so she didn't want to make any noise.

She really didn't have enough experience in handling such a situation.

Since there were a lot of broken machines and appliances lying around the warehouse, she figured there had to be tools too.

The minute Jean realized she should've found the scissors, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Her heart beat rapidly as the nervousness increased. In a panic, she picked up the scissors and the hammer and returned to where they had originally placed her. She positioned the rope around her feet and her hands the way they had put it on her.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Soon, the iron gate squeaked open and the footsteps started getting louder.

Jean slowly and unconsciously opened her eyes as the nervousness worsened.

The sound of the iron gate squeaking and the footsteps coming closer frightened Jean to no end.

She chose to keep her eyes open.

She wanted to see her kidnapper.

She was disappointed to find more than one person arriving. The one nearest to her and looking down at her was a young man.

The man had colorful hair and was wearing outrageous clothes. Jean had never seen him before in her life.

She also wasn't sure whether Zed knew him or not.

”Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” Jean asked coldly, staring at the man.

”Wow, a brave heart in a fragile body, I like that!” the young man said, showing his perfect set of teeth. He inhaled a puff of smoke and exhaled it onto Jean's face.

The smoke enveloped Jean as she tried to avoid it.
