The servants and stewards rushed out in fear of being caught in the wave of anger, leaving only Jiang Dao alone in the warehouse, helplessly roaring in frustration.
At the same time, Ruan Mian and Xie Huai'an had already gone out, leaving only the mute girl in the inn.
She was temporarily placed here, as Ruan Mian planned to return what belonged to them from the Tuji Mansion to its rightful owners once Jiang Dao's matter was dealt with, so she could then return home.
Unexpectedly, two coarse men forcibly dragged her out of the house, knocked her unconscious with a slap, and took her to a pitch-black place.
The stench permeated her body, infiltrating every pore.
The mute girl, groggy, gradually regained consciousness. When she saw the dampness and darkness surrounding her, her whole body tensed, instinctively struggling.
But unfortunately, her body was tightly bound with sturdy hemp ropes, leaving her no room to resist.
Just then, a few candles lit up in the darkness.
