1082 Perplexed and Smitten 142 (1/2)
Upon hearing her words, Fang Erlan immediately said, \”I'm staying in room 1236.\”
Realizing that he had gotten the wrong person, the man immediately said, \”I'll go and nab that woman in room 1238 right now. Shall we release this woman?\”
Fang Erlan gazed at the woman earnestly, hoping that she would agree to release her.
To her astonishment, the woman scoffed and said, \”What for? These little guys have been hungry for a while. They must be famished. Feed her to them.\”
Fang Erlan immediately collapsed and glowered at the woman angrily while her hands trembled uncontrollably. However, she kept her cool and exclaimed, \”Do… you know who I am? If you dare do that to me, my boss is not going to let you off!\”
\”Your boss? Who?\”
\”An Xiaoning.\”
The woman squinted and asked, \”An Xiaoning?\”
\”That's right, her!\”
\”She doesn't even know that I'm the one who abducted you. Who would find out by the time these little guys devour you and chew you down to your bones?\”
\”You're such a fool. How did you even become a leader? I suggest you send me back immediately and put an end to this. Think about the consequences you'd have to face before you lay a finger on me. Don't blame me for failing to remind you. You'll suffer a greater loss by the time you get yourself in trouble.\”
Noticing how fearless Fang Erlan seemed, as if she was not at all afraid of being fed to the wolves, the woman humphed and sneered, \”This is not S Nation, what can she do to me? She's not invincible.\” She then ordered her henchmen, \”Kill this woman immediately!\”
Seeing that her threats seemed to have no effect, Fang Erlan's heart almost jumped out of her chest as her stomach twisted into a knot. She glued herself onto the ground and refused to move.
Just as the man was about to open the cage, she grabbed him and said, \”Even if you don't release me on account of my boss, you should do so on your own account.\”
\”What do you mean?\”
\”I'm Pei Yi's old flame. If you refuse to believe me, you may try calling him to ask him about it,\” Fang Erlan said recklessly upon recalling what she had heard at the dining table. She was merely hoping for a miracle and trying to stall for time.
The woman was shocked out of her senses. Seeing how confident Fang Erlan seemed to be, she said to her henchman, \”Watch her while I go upstairs to make a call.\”
\”Yes.\”
Fang Erlan loosened her grip on the man. However, she was engulfed with even more fear and panic.
She had broken out in a cold sweat due to immense fear and anxiety. The terror had robbed her of her speech, and she could not make a single sound.
The man shot her a glance and said, \”If you dare lie to us…\”
There was no way to put her emotions into words.
In reality, she was indeed lying to them.
She felt extremely regretful for not keeping a dagger with her at all times. Had she done so, she would definitely have had the chance to escape.
Yet…
I'm only 24 years old this year. Am I really going to just die in this foreign land?
Why am I so unlucky?
The thought of becoming a feast for the wolves sent tears rolling down Fang Erlan's face as her hands trembled incessantly.
She recalled her short and fleeting life. She had been raised by her grandmother ever since she was a child, and her parents had shown little to no concern or love for her at all. At some point, she even felt like she was an orphan.
