Chapter 369: 369: Breaking Out
He rushed in immediately, his gruff voice full of extreme pleasure:
“Oh… I heard you, my bride, stop hiding, I know you’re right here.”
This time, he was not impatient. Instead, he was very meticulous, opening the rows of closet doors one by one
If there were too many clothes inside, he would “patiently” reach in and grab a handful!
Zhu Shu is hiding behind the dresses, unable to see what’s happening outside. She could only hear the constant sound of doors being opened: bang, bang, bang!
Her mind racing, ready to explode!
What should she do?!
What should she do?!
Even though she couldn’t see anything, she knew the Duke was drawing near to the closet where Bai Youwei was hiding!
She has no time to pay attention to Hu Ya’s actions now, she only wants to save Bai Youwei!
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Zhu Shu felt the dampness and only then realized she was crying out of sheer desperation. Aside from acting, it has been a long time since she has cried real tears.
With this in thought, her mind surprisingly calms down.
…Yes, think calmly.
If Bai Youwei is taken by the Duke, how would things pan out?
Su Man is impulsive and often acts on her emotions, unable to think rationally.
Yu Yaqing is capable, but has never played the game, and is basically inexperienced.
Hu Ya is lurking in the dark, always scheming, wishing nothing more than for them to die.
And then there’s herself…
All that remains is her…What can she do? She doesn’t have the confidence to clear the level! She can’t do it!
If it were Bai Youwei! Perhaps several lives could be saved!
She can’t quite put a finger on why, but her tears fall faster.
In life, she had no control over herself; controlled by her company, pursued by fans, stalked by paparazzi… she could never truly be herself, to the point where she sometimes lost herself— she didn’t know who she was anymore.
Now, faced with death, at least, she can choose her own way of dying.
Zhu Shu closes her eyes briefly, telling herself silently, “haven’t you decided long ago to die like a human being? Despite the gruesomeness of the torture instruments, as long as you seize the right opportunity, you can escape from the torment.”
The sound of the closet doors opening is getting closer.
She takes a deep breath and finally makes her decision.
Not just to save Bai Youwei, but also to save herself. Rather than facing despair later, why not charge out now, filled with hope!
Zhu Shu suddenly stands up, fiercely smashing the plastic mannequin towards the beast, then she runs out of the room!
The item may not cause pain when it hits, but its suddenness stuns the Duke into a momentary pause. He roars and immediately gives chase!
Bai Youwei, inside the closet, felt a sudden dread.
She pushed open the closet door, falling onto the floor, disregarding the pain. She looked towards the door only to see the Duke’s retreating figure!
She is filled with a mix of shock and rage, sorrow and anger welling up together, she shouted out loud, “Zhu Shu!!!”
Damn it!
Damn it!
She doesn’t need to be saved!
She doesn’t need anyone to save her!!!
Bai Youwei gritted her teeth, picked up her cane to stand up, step by step, she left the room.
The room’s door was beside the spiral staircase.
She saw Zhu Shu trying to jump over the railing, seeking to end her life to avoid being tortured, but at the last moment, the Duke grabbed her back.
The Duke was dragging Zhu Shu by her hair, just like he dragged Zhao Lanfen, just like he dragged Cheng Xi, disregarding her struggles and screams, dragging her towards the torture chamber on the third floor.
When he saw Bai Youwei, the Duke’s eyes flashed with menace, seemingly hesitating, thinking to let Zhu Shu go and capture Bai Youwei instead.
But he was afraid of Bai Youwei’s lightning, so he just coldly glanced at her, and walked past her with his “prize”
Bai Youwei threw four beads at him!
