I was already used to the days here, and even I was no longer afraid of Chu Yanxiu. I even looked forward to his return every day. Facing him, I knew that I had some other shameful thoughts.

In the young girl's heart, facing someone who saved me from the abyss of suffering, being polite to me and even being meticulous to me, I have no reason not to be moved. But I wouldn't be so self-righteous as to think that there was anything between me and Chu Yanxiu. To me, this person was an untouchable star in the horizon and also a ray of light that illuminated my dark life.

All I want is to pay my debts and live a free life as soon as possible.

As the old saying goes, good days always come to an end.

On the night of the next month, Chu Yanxiu returned two hours earlier. I wanted to skillfully take the coat from him and hang it up for him, but Chu Yanxiu passed the coat into Auntie's hands.

All he said to me was, "Take a bath and get ready to go out." He went upstairs.

I obediently went to take a bath. As I got on the car, I felt a little uneasy. It was the first time he had taken me out in more than a month.

I was taken by him to another house. It was a rather remote place, but it was a high-class place to live. It was a villa halfway up the mountain.

I didn't understand why Chu Yanxiu brought me here. After entering the door, Chu Yanxiu handed me over to an old man in his sixties and left me. He told me to be obedient before he left and emphasized that he wanted me to "pay off" my debts.

I wasn't sure what he wanted me to do, but when I heard the word "debt," I subconsciously wondered if he wanted me to be a servant here, so I stopped resisting. I wanted to pay my debt, and I wanted to be free.

I obediently followed the old man into a dark and secluded room on the third floor. I asked the old man if I wanted to clean up here, where I would stay at night, and other related work, but the old man didn't say anything. When I stood at the door, he pushed me in and quickly locked the door.

I was pushed to the ground, my wrist knocked against the corner of the wall, and I couldn't recover for a long time. By then, I was starting to feel a little scared.

It definitely wasn't a good thing for him to send me here from such a distance to lock me up. It was due to Chu Yanxiu's gentleness these past few days that I let my guard down.

Sure enough, just as I wanted to find Chieko to open the door, something lashed at my shoulder like a whip with a "Pa" sound. The pain was so intense that I cried out in pain.

"Are you the woman my brother sent me?"

"…"

My heart skipped a beat as I turned around to look. I saw a figure vaguely. In the next moment, that person lit up the candle. A light finally lit up in the dark room. Only then did I clearly see who that person was!

He looks very similar to Chu Yanxiu. Later on, I found out his name — Chu Shixiu! The blood brother of Chu Yanxiu's mother!

He was still holding onto his whip as he sat on the wheelchair. It seemed that his legs were unable to move, but his strength was astonishing. That whip strike just now almost made me lose half of my body! I endured the pain, wanting to curse but not daring to. I also didn't know what this person was up to.

However, I heard those words clearly. This person said that I was the woman that Chu Yanxiu sent to him!
