Chapter 204: The King’s Return (1)
“Miss Sheng, what do you think Brother Ting would say if he saw you like this? A ‘Canary’ kept in a cage, lying here naked and at the mercy of anyone…”
Chuzheng faintly heard the voice.
But her body was slow to react until the voice faded, and it wasn’t until after the sound of the door slamming shut that she began to recover.
The surroundings were very dark.
She couldn’t see her hand in front of her face; the ink-thick darkness was terrifying.
Chuzheng felt soft and tender, her limbs without strength, like someone utterly helpless.
Chuzheng lay down flat.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
After these three bewildered questions, Chuzheng’s consciousness gradually returned, the keywords slowly connecting and clarifying her current situation.
–
The original owner of the body was a Sheng.
The Sheng Family had always been a hereditary crime syndicate, powerful and vast, operating across both legal and illegal spheres.
But, half a year ago, the head of the Sheng Family, Sheng Min, suddenly disappeared.
Sheng Min was the original owner’s father.
Sheng Min had only one child, the original owner, and an adopted son, Sheng Ting.
After Sheng Min’s disappearance, Sheng Ting quickly set up his own faction, taking away most of the people, and the Sheng Family was in imminent danger.
The only daughter of the Sheng Family had never been involved in such matters, nor did she understand them.
She was like a Princess kept in a castle, never to see the dark side of the world.
However, when Sheng Min disappeared, the original owner was no longer the envied, respected little Princess.
The Sheng Family descended into turmoil, and the young girl was at a loss.
Various forces coveted their territory, ready to swallow the organization that had lost its leader.
In the midst of her confusion, Sheng Ting suddenly appeared.
The original owner respected this adoptive brother, and when he showed up, she gave him all her dependence.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Ting harbored different feelings for her.
He was fond of the original owner.
He wanted the original owner to be his woman.
The original owner only saw Sheng Ting as a brother and did not like him that way.
Sheng Ting, however, blackmailed her with the fate of the Sheng Family, saying that if she dared to leave him, he would let the Sheng Family fall to ruin.
The original owner, a girl pampered and untouched by darkness.
Intimidated by Sheng Ting, she dared not run away.
She was locked up by Sheng Ting.
She had no idea what had become of the Sheng Family; her daily life, food, and clothing were all arranged by Sheng Ting.
Fortunately, Sheng Ting had not laid a hand on her because he wanted her to willingly become his woman.
However, the original owner’s resistance against Sheng Ting grew stronger.
Her resistance and fear greatly irritated Sheng Ting.
The original owner did not want to be confined by Sheng Ting, she wanted to leave him.
But she couldn’t.
There was a woman named Zhuang Yi by Sheng Ting’s side; everyone said she was Sheng Ting’s lover, but not even girlfriend material.
Zhuang Yi harbored a deep animosity towards the original owner because she liked Sheng Ting, yet it was the original owner who Sheng Ting wanted.
The original owner never expected Zhuang Yi to confront her.
She told herself that she could find a chance to leave this place, but she must never let Sheng Ting find her again.
This thought aligned with what the original owner wanted, and she almost immediately agreed.
But that time, she didn’t escape.
Sheng Ting caught up with her very soon.
Sheng Ting didn’t seize her; he just watched her run, watched her fear, her helplessness.
Of course, in the end, the original owner was still caught and taken back.
Zhuang Yi’s assistance went undiscovered, but Sheng Ting became even more vigilant in his watch over the original owner, and at first Zhuang Yi still planned to find an opportunity to set the original owner free.
