Chapter 280 - 271: Awakening
Li Xianglu, regaining consciousness, had cursed the person who had drugged her over a hundred times in her mind, as being drugged was the thing she hated the most in her life!
Of course, the reason was obvious; having had the experience of Ge Sanmei drugging her, she had grown extremely weary of such kidnapping methods.
Li Xianglu rubbed her swollen head, a painful aftermath of the sedatives. "Hey, I can move my hands."
Li Xianglu opened her eyes, propped herself up, and sat up. She was in a living room, lying on a genuine leather sofa.
Sitting up, Li Xianglu surveyed her surroundings. There was a coffee table, and opposite it was a color TV. There was a door, and it was open.
With a thought, Li Xianglu headed towards the door, her legs slightly weak but manageable to walk on.
It turned out to be a bungalow. Outside was a lush greenery, a long corridor flanked by grapevines laden with clusters of green and purple grapes.
East and west were two paths. Li Xianglu thought it wasn’t smart to take the middle path as it might expose her, so she decided to drag her weak legs along the side paths.
No one was around, which was good. Li Xianglu’s heartbeat sped up, and so did her feet. Just as she reached the middle, suddenly a dark figure stirred. Li Xianglu stopped, slowly turned around, and saw a woman in a navy-blue cloak and mask, pruning the grapevines with a pair of scissors.
Li Xianglu hesitated slightly, noticing the person hadn’t seen her. Could she be blind?
She sped up, thinking if she ran past quickly, she could escape before being noticed.
Soon, Li Xianglu returned disheartened from the west, followed by two people and four fearsome dogs.
