Chapter 909: Cannot Sit and Wait for Death

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and hurriedly grabbed her chopsticks with a swift motion!

"I can do it myself!"

With no time to worry about anything else, she hurriedly stuffed a couple of bites of food into her mouth, though she couldn't taste a thing.

Immediately after, she heard the other person say, "You go out first."

"Yes."

The man who had been holding the tray responded, shot a quick glance at Cai Xiaotang, and turned to leave.

Cai Xiaotang's movements, however, stiffened slightly.

Why were the two of them alone again?

What did this lunatic want to do now?

Her heart rate had not been steady since a moment ago; Cai Xiaotang pretended to keep her head down and eat, while her peripheral vision caught the other person walking toward her.

Subconsciously, she wanted to dodge.

Yet, she used every ounce of her self-control to desperately restrain her emotions, not wanting to provoke his displeasure.

Then, she saw him actually pick up the soup bowl, scoop up a small spoonful, and bring it to her lips.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned.

"Open your mouth."

The man's prompt sounded.

She was almost unable to think anymore and could only open her mouth subconsciously.

The hot soup slid down her throat, but it didn't warm her body even a little.

Immediately after, she saw him pick up the tissue from the side and gently wipe the corner of her mouth.

The movement could even be considered gentle.

Cai Xiaotang stared at him blankly, finally unable to process what was happening at all.

This...

What kind of confusing behavior is this?

What on earth does he want to do!

She wasn't stupid enough to think she was so beautiful that a kidnapper who would casually cut off people's tongues and fingers would fall in love with her at first sight!

And then immediately start taking such meticulous care of her!

The more he acted like this, the more terrifying it was!

This meal...

Could it be the last meal of her life?

Cai Xiaotang felt incredibly anxious, yet she didn't even dare to show her fear too obviously.

"Eat."

Linke's voice sounded again.

Cai Xiaotang immediately began to move mechanically, her heart crying out in misery.

Help me...

How much time does Li Xiao need to find her?

Can she really go back unscathed this time...

Wanting to get rid of the person in front of her quickly, she slightly sped up her eating.

Not until she finally finished the food in front of her did she put down her chopsticks.

Linke, who had remained silent, finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, still quite obedient."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's fingertips trembled, and she subconsciously looked at her hands.

So... did that sentence mean... her fingers were safe?

Just as she was thinking this, she felt her chin being casually gripped by him again.

Then, she was forced to meet the eyes behind the fox mask.

Those eyes, which were always moody and unpredictable, seemed to be in a pretty good mood at this moment.

"If you want to be my person, you have to learn to be obedient. But it's okay, you can take your time. Once I finish handling things here, we... will have plenty of time."

Linke finished speaking with a cryptic smile, let go of Cai Xiaotang, and turned to leave.

Cai Xiaotang sat silently on the bed, her heart hanging high again because of his last sentence.

Once he finishes handling things here...

Who does he want to handle?

Li Xiao?

Cai Xiaotang bit her lower lip hard, her heart instantly clenching into a ball.

Li Xiao must already know she is missing by now.

That "fox man" must have calculated exactly that, which is why he was waiting for him so leisurely!

Although she didn't know what kind of grudge he had with Li Xiao, she could directly feel that he was definitely not easy to deal with!

If the explosion at the ski resort was also planned by this lunatic...

Cai Xiaotang didn't dare to keep thinking about it, and couldn't help but recall the scene of Li Xiao falling off the cliff.

Then, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Heh...

She could barely save herself, yet she was still worrying about that guy's safety.

If she hadn't agreed to marry him back then, would the situation be better than it is now?

She didn't know...

But... what if she had a chance to save herself?

That lunatic kept saying "she is his person," so what if she continued to play along with this act?

Since the words were already said, why not make it more convincing?

She couldn't just sit and wait for death!

Maybe she could even help Li Xiao with something!

Find an opportunity to pass him a message!

Yes!

She had to think carefully about how to do it!

Outside the door—the moment Linke walked out, he saw his subordinates still waiting outside.

Seeing him come out, the other person immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, that woman, she..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt a chill, as if someone had grabbed his throat, and he didn't dare to say another word.

Linke urged, "What about her? Speak."

"It was my place to speak too much."

The man immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Hmph."

Linke let out a cold snort, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes before quickly dissipating, and then he turned and left.

He had never needed to explain his actions to anyone.

In any case, the game had already begun, and the initiative was now in his hands.

Li Xiao would definitely come.

But before that, he had plenty of time to play with her slowly.

Linke paused his steps and suddenly crooked his finger at the person behind him.

The man from just now immediately walked over quickly.

"How are the people sent out doing?"

Linke asked casually.

The man immediately replied, "According to your wishes, I haven't let them return yet."

"Mm."

Linke was satisfied, then said in a casual tone, "Then they don't need to come back anymore."

"Yes..."

The man's expression was startled, and he quickly agreed.

Then he heard Linke say again, "And then... have someone send something to Li Xiao's place."

Late at night—the lights in Li Xiao's study were still burning bright.

Cai Xiaotang had been missing for two whole days.

Apart from the fake addresses the other party had deliberately released as a provocation, Li Xiao had not received any other news.

He sat in the study, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion, yet he didn't feel a hint of sleepiness.

Immediately after, the door to the study was knocked on.

"Come in."

Li Xiao responded casually, thinking it was a subordinate coming to report news.

He didn't expect it to be Luo Wanwan pushing the door open and walking in.

"Li Xiao, you haven't eaten dinner again, please eat at least a little..."

She walked in carrying a tray.

Li Xiao waved his hand, too lazy to even speak.

How could he possibly have an appetite?

For the past two days, he had only eaten a few bites of food to get by whenever he felt hunger.

As long as his body could hold up, that was enough.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Luo Wanwan felt a tightening in her heart.

Even though she knew it was useless to come, she just couldn't help but want to try...

She didn't believe that Li Xiao really couldn't take in a word she said!

But reality was always incredibly harsh...

Luo Wanwan was unwilling to give up and wanted to persuade him further.

Just as she was about to speak, Laoqi, Lao Wu, and several others walked in from outside the door together.

"Wanwan? You're here?"

They all saw the tray in her hand, understood what was happening, and their expressions were somewhat helpless.

Then, remembering they had important business, they hurriedly said, "Shura, those people we were tracking, they..."
