Chapter 229 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 11 (1/2)

An Su quickly examined her surroundings. Although the lighting was dim, it was still enough to look around. She was currently bound to a chair with some rope.

Iron chains that served an unknown purpose hung from all four walls. The floor was dotted with layers of dried bloodstains and they let off a putrid smell that was a mixture of rot and blood.

It was the spitting image of a classic torture chamber used for criminals back in ancient times.

‘Where am I…? This type of place still exists?’

“Where’s Madam Qi?” ‘Wasn’t she with me too? How come I don’t see her anywhere?’

Shi Sheng ridiculed her from the side, “Who do you think brought you here?”

An Su’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘How could that be? Madam Qi is such a gentle person; why would she kidnap me? I don’t remember having any enmity with her either!’

Shi Sheng floated around the torture room, causing the rusty chains on the walls to rattle. In this otherwise quiet place, the rattling sound was enough to startle An Su’s ears.

Creeeak—

Just then, the door to the gruesome basement opened and a woman wearing exquisite makeup entered, carrying a surgical tray in her hands.

Once she saw who it was, An Su’s last bit of hope vanished. ‘It really was her…’

Shi Sheng was silently standing in the corner. Madam Qi seemed to be unaware of her presence as she headed straight for An Su.

She gently placed the tray on the table to the side of the chair, allowing An Su to get a clear look at the tray’s contents: scalpels, pincers, tweezers, and all sorts of medical instruments that shone with cold light even in the dimness.

Goosebumps popped up all over An Su’s body. “Madam Qi, what are you doing? I have no enmity with you; why did you tie me up here?”

At this moment, Madam Qi was no longer the gentle woman she had previously shown herself to be. She forcefully gripped An Su’s chin and spoke with a twisted expression, “Why? Don’t you vixens always try to seduce him? Just what makes you lot so cheap?! Always wanting to climb into some rich man’s bed whenever you have the slightest bit of looks?”

An Su was at a complete loss as to what Madam Qi was rambling on about.

“Just look at this face. The tenderness really makes one jealous!” Madam Qi had a crazed look in her eyes as she reached out with her slender fingers and traced An Su’s face from her forehead, to her brows, to her cheeks, and then her lips. “If I peeled off this skin of yours, would you still have the face to seduce others?”

‘Peeling off skin?! Seducing people? Seducing who?!

Did Madam Qi… seduce Mister Qi?’

An Su felt startled as her brain continued processing allthis new information.

“Madam Qi…” An Su had some difficulty speaking due to her chin being pinched, so her words came out slightly garbled. “You… misunderstand! I- I never… never seduced Mister Qi!”

Upon hearing her words, Madam Qi’s control snapped and in the next second she slapped An Su. “Bitch, you still dare to say you didn’t seduce him! I saw it with my own eyes!”

An Su’s head was spinning from the slap and she subconsciously looked over in Shi Sheng’s direction.

“Who’re you making that look for, huh? He can’t see you now! You were getting all cocky just because he doted on you, weren’t you?! Well, will he still like you without your pretty looks?!” Madam Qi smiled viciously.

She released An Su’s chin and turned to pick up one of the instruments laying on the doctor’s tray.

An Su watched on in fear. ‘Is this woman mad?!’

A coldly gleaming scalpel pressed against her cheek as it glided against her skin like a poisonous snake.

“Hahaha! All of you sluts should just die! Die!” Madam Qi’s gaze turned savage and her hand began to press down.

But just then, the lights in the basement went out and the room fell into total darkness.

An Su felt something cold cut the ropes binding her. Without them holding her down, she immediately shoved Madam Qi away before running towards the direction where she remembered the door was.

She reached the door, but was unable to open it.

Suddenly, a sharp pain could be felt from her scalp as someone yanked An Su back by her hair, causing her to crash into the chains on the wall beside. Pain and numbness swept through her nerves.
