Chapter 5 Starvation

• Qiao Yechen was too lazy to even look at her. He coldly said to Emily, "Keep an eye on her. If she escapes again, you know the consequences."
• Emily was scared and drenched in cold sweat. She had witnessed the methods of their boss with her own eyes. She didn't want to die so soon, so she could only tremble and promise, "Understood, Boss."
• At this moment, Lu Mianxin's mind was in chaos, and her heartache made it difficult for her to breathe.
• Her dreams, her family, her friends, the man she had admired for a long time...
• Why did all the beauty collapse in an instant? Why did she have to lose everything in an instant...
• Why...
• Lu Mianxin couldn't suppress her uncontrollable sobbing. She cried like a child.
• She was only eighteen years old. Why did she have to bear so much pain that didn't belong to her? Why was fate so cruel to her? Why?
• Lu Mianxin was taken to a small room with no one else. Her hands and feet were all tied up.
• Her emotions were no longer as agitated as before, but her body still trembled violently. Her eyes were empty and unfocused, her lips murmured something, constantly trembling, but the words she muttered couldn't be heard clearly.
• Emily was not a sympathetic person. There were many parents here who sold their own children for money. So Lu Mianxin was definitely not the most pitiful one, and perhaps she was not innocent either.
• But seeing her like this, Emily couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her, as if she saw her deceased sister.
• "You may not understand the Boss. Once he decides to do something, no one can change it. Don't try to escape or resist. It will only make your future days more unbearable. Maybe if you obediently listen, the Boss will have a change of heart and spare you someday?"
• Although that's what she said, Emily knew too well about their boss. Having a change of heart was simply impossible for him.
• Qiao Yechen achieved his current status at a young age thanks to his ruthless methods. As a result, hardly anyone in the country dared to easily offend him. Everyone wanted to live a few more years.
• But no matter what she said, Lu Mianxin seemed to be deaf to it.
• It was clear that she had suffered a great shock. At this moment, she seemed to have trapped herself in an isolated tunnel, refusing to communicate with anyone.
• Emily sighed and turned to leave.
• For the past few days, Lu Mianxin had been refusing to eat or drink.
• She couldn't understand why her own brother would falsely accuse her for no reason. Why did her parents give her to Qiao Yechen? Why did they make her bear all the torment alone?
• But she hadn't done anything wrong. Why did they treat her like this?
• She wanted to cry, to scream, to escape, but she knew that no matter what she did, she couldn't escape.
• Why did it have to be her? Why were they so cruel to her, why...
• Why... sob...
• It had been three days already, and Lu Mianxin hadn't eaten or drunk anything. Emily was afraid that she would starve to death. The boss had instructed not to let her die.
• After hesitating for a moment, Emily decided to report the situation to Qiao Yechen.
• She walked to the door of Qiao Yechen's office, knocked on it, and then pushed the door open.
• "Boss."
• At this moment, Qiao Yechen was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out absentmindedly. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
• Hearing the voice, Qiao Yechen snapped back to reality, but he didn't turn around to look at Emily. "Speak."
• "Well... Miss Lu still refuses to eat anything until now. It has been three days already. If she continues like this, she might not last much longer."
• Qiao Yechen's gaze flickered slightly. "She still refuses to accept her fate?"
• In the next second, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Qiao Yechen's eyes. "Lu Mianxin, you forced me to do this."
