She quickly used the Internet phone to call the police. However, before the call was even connected halfway, the signal was suddenly cut off. She tried twice more, but the result was the same.
Having no other way, Shi Xiaonian logged into QQ and sent a distress message to her colleagues at the company, hoping that they could find a way to help her. Less than 0.1 seconds after sending the message, she watched helplessly as the three lines of text she had typed disappeared in an instant.
Disappeared... Just like that.
Shi Xiaonian stared at the screen in shock. She hurriedly typed another line, but it disappeared again after being sent.
An indescribable panic surrounded her. She used the Internet phone to call the fire department and a newspaper she remembered. She wanted to escape. She had to escape... But the result was the same. Before the calls were connected, they were automatically hung up.
"Bang."
The door that had been locked from the inside was easily pushed open from the outside. Shi Xiaonian, sitting on the chair in front of the desk, felt a momentary panic. She raised her eyes and looked ahead. It was Feng De pushing a dining cart in.
Feng De walked towards her with a knowing look and said earnestly, "Miss Shi, don't waste your energy."
Shi Xiaonian was stunned. So everything she did was being watched by them, and it was all in vain.
"The Gong family has the strictest information monitoring. Electronic devices that are not logged in by Master himself will be comprehensively monitored. Moreover, don't even say that your calls can't get through. Even if they did..." Feng De paused here and looked at Shi Xiaonian with some pity before continuing, "It would be useless."
"Why?"
"Because, he's Gong Ou." Feng De said.
Gong Ou, these two words, on the other hand, meant - privilege.
Shi Xiaonian slumped dejectedly in the chair, wrapping her arms tightly around herself in a protective posture. Nothing she did was of any use. She could only be imprisoned here and couldn't escape.
"Miss Shi, you're too weak. Have something to eat." Feng De said. He picked up plates of delicious food from the dining cart and placed them on the desk.
"I really haven't given birth to a child. I really had no connection with him before." Shi Xiaonian murmured, looking at Feng De with her last glimmer of hope. "Butler Feng, if I beg Gong Ou to let me go, will it work?" As long as she could be set free and regain her freedom, she was willing to beg Gong Ou like a beggar...
All she got in response was a pitying look from Feng De, nothing else.
Shi Xiaonian understood what he meant and felt a bit desperate. Did she have no choice but to turn to that man? No, she didn't want to...
Gong Ou didn't come to violate her again, and he didn't even come to see her.
Shi Xiaonian's body gradually recovered, but having been imprisoned in the Imperial Castle for several consecutive days, her mental state was getting worse and worse. There were countless bodyguards in the castle. Whenever she walked around, someone was watching her. She couldn't even take a step out of the main gate.
Unable to contact her family, colleagues, or friends, Feng De, bodyguards, and psychological experts took turns to ask her about the baby's whereabouts every day. The ways of interrogation were endless, either through the tactic of wearing her down, or not allowing her to use the toilet, or the method of intimidation... Day by day, she was almost on the verge of a breakdown.
She couldn't figure out why Gong Ou was so convinced that she had given birth to his child. Under their repeated interrogations, Shi Xiaonian even wondered if she had lost her memory. But she clearly remembered everything except the baby. If there really was a baby, even if she had lost her memory, there should be a child by her side. But clearly, there wasn't. It just didn't make sense... What on earth had happened to her without her knowing?
