The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses - Chapter 1366

Chapter 1366: I Only Want You (64)

Jin Qingyan pulled her into his arms and said, “Don’t be afraid, perhaps this is the time where the ring will come to our aid. We don’t have to fear them, so long as we can find the way to activate the ring.”

“But the point is…” She paused in her speech.

However, Jin Qingyan knew that she had meant to say. “Who would know how to activate it?”

The rest of their days continued to be peaceful again, as if the letter was just a minor hiccup.

An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan both knew that it was not minor.

She knew that it was a preconceived plot that had been hatched deliberately.

It was just a warning and a threat that was nothing compared to the grand plan that the anonymous masterminds had devised.

For the rest of the year, the entire family rarely left Wei Ni Estate.

The New Year was supposed to be a festive season that families celebrate together joyously and boisterously. However, apart from the children who were clueless, the adults spent the New Year feeling worried and ill at ease.

An Xiaoning felt a sudden overwhelming discomfort in her chest that made it hard for her to breathe. She scurried toward the balcony and panted heavily while trying to catch her breath. She felt much better only after having the chilly breeze blow on her face.

This was the strongest premonition she had ever felt. She knew for sure that a disaster was awaiting them.

An Xiaoning immediately called Jin Qingyan, who had gone to Ling Ciye’s home.

Ling Ciye’s apartment was in a building within the same estate that was merely a stone’s throw away.

An Xiaoning tried to call Jin Qingyan again after the first one failed to get through, only to receive the same outcome.

The reception is clearly excellent and I had paid my phone bills on time.

She shook her mobile phone a few times, after which a black figure descended from the sky. His menacing aura made him seem like the God of Darkness.

Just as An Xiaoning was about to shriek, the lights went out and the man covered her mouth with his hand.

The next thing An Xiaoning knew, she was being brought away by the man, who soared high up in the sky.

Once they were in the air, the power in the lights was restored. An Xiaoning turned to look at the man, only to realize that she could not see him clearly in the dark.

“Where are you taking me to?”

“Stop moving. Otherwise, I’ll throw you down from here. I won’t take pity on you just because you’re a woman.”

An Xiaoning’s face was hurting from the biting cold, and she had no idea where he was taking her.

Her rationality told her that it definitely wouldn’t be a great place.

Within no time, he embarked on his descent together with her.

Her surroundings were pitch black, and there was not a single light source in sight.

As soon as they landed, An Xiaoning took flight and sprinted as hard as she could, to no avail. No matter how far she tried to run, he would stop in front of her to obstruct her from escaping. “Are you trying to flee?” he questioned.

“Just what are you trying to do?”

“What am I trying to do? Didn’t I already send you the letter? What’s the point of feigning ignorance?” He then picked her up by her hood and pulled her into a room.

An Xiaoning could finally see his features clearly after the fire was started. It was a man she had never seen before.

An Xiaoning sat beside the fireplace and stuck her hand near the fire to warm herself up. She finally felt much less chilly.

Noticing how calm and composed she was, he asked coldly, “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Why should I be afraid of you? Are you the owner of Hell? If you’re not in charge of my fate in my afterlife, why should I be afraid of you?”

Entirely amused by her ignorance, the man remarked, “I really wonder where you got that confidence from.”

“I was born with it.”

“Just be good and stay here. If I come back again, it means I’m going to release you. If I don’t, that just means that Jin Qingyan chose that treasure over you. That also means that that treasure matters more to him than you do.”

“I obviously mean more to him than that thing does. I’m very confident about that. To be honest with you, that thing can’t be removed from Qingyan because it has already recognized Qingyan to be his owner. If you’re thinking of snatching it away, save it.”

The man stood with his hands by his side and said coldly, “It’s just an inanimate object. Why would it recognize an owner? You’re just being ignorant.”

“Since it’s an inanimate object, why are you threatening us and trying so hard to get your hands on it? If you don’t mind, I can give you a piece of jade. It’s an inanimate object too. Do you want it?”

The man said bluntly, “I’ve already drawn boundaries around this house. Ordinary people can’t see it. You won’t be able to walk out of here either. I don’t care if that thing has recognized him as its owner or not, but I’ll do whatever it takes to get it. If I can’t remove it from him, I’ll just cut his hand off.”

He then left as soon as he finished speaking.

Although she could see outside the house, she could not walk out of it, just like he had said.

There was no longer any reception on her mobile phone too.

She sat beside the fireplace, at a sudden loss for what to do.

There were lots of firewood inside the house. However, there was no food or water.

Fortunately, her inner energy allowed her to go on for a long time without eating, drinking, or relieving nature’s call.

However, that man was not aware of her abilities.

He’s thinking of making me die of hunger and thirst? He can dream on.

She was worried about Jin Qingyan’s life.

The jade ring was yet to be activated and hence was just an ordinary piece of jade.

Can he deal with those vampires?

An Xiaoning placed her hands beside her face, which was lit up by the fire.

She was ill at ease and could not stop letting her imagination run wild.

She decided to set her mobile phone to sleep mode, for fear that it would run out of battery.

She racked her brains for a solution to escape, to no avail.

The waiting game was the hardest, especially in such a situation.

Days passed.

Her mobile phone had finally run out of battery.

She used the firewood to keep track of how many days she had been here for.

An Xiaoning’s heart sank a little each day.

She was on the verge of despair and was incredibly distraught after fifteen days.

She could not stay another minute longer. Although she was not being physically tortured, she felt as if she was being put through an arduous time.

She could no longer be bothered to keep track of the number of days that she had been there. She stopped giving a care about the weather or the time.

Just as she was losing the last bit of faith and hope in her, she caught sight of an elderly man who was wearing a long hood and walking toward her slowly.

The elderly man had his head hung low, and the hood covered his face. She could not see his features clearly.

It’s drizzling outside and we’re in the woods. Why would there be an elderly man here?

An Xiaoning stood by the door and yelled, “Uncle!”

The elderly man did not raise his head at all, as if he did not hear her.

An Xiaoning stood rooted to the ground dejectedly. All her hopes were dashed.
