Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Three Days’ Time

Song Family villa, basement.

Yu Yaxian curled up on the cold ground, feeling as if fire blazed from her throat all the way to her stomach.

Yu Yaxian had been locked up here for three whole days.

Without a drop of water, her stomach had turned from the emptiness of hunger to aching, leaving her without an ounce of strength in her body.

This basement, which Du Lianxin used to store miscellaneous items, had no windows, making it difficult for one to sense the passage of time.

The fear brought on by the darkness followed her like a shadow.

Various boxes were piled haphazardly, intertwined with several thick layers of cobwebs.

"Someone..."

Yu Yaxian felt dizzy and could barely make a sound with her dry, hoarse throat.

She could never have imagined, after the Song family brought back Song Qiming against the doctor’s advice, that they would lock her up here without question or reason.

Even now, Yu Yaxian still didn’t know what had happened, learning only from Du Lianxin’s shrewish scolding.

Song Qiming’s sudden onset of headaches appeared to be deemed related to her.

"Help me..."

Yu Yaxian’s cries for help were mechanical and numb, purely instinctual, and she knew well that no one would come to save her.

Her family probably still thought she was with Qiming, romantically involved and sweet, and they might even blame her for not calling home.

Who could imagine she was locked up here?

Suddenly, the door to the basement swung open, and the light that flooded in made Yu Yaxian lift her head as if grasping a lifeline.

Qiming approached from the backlight and stopped in front of her.

His scholarly face now bore only an expression of deep loathing and intense disgust.

Song Qiming extended his foot and lifted Yu Yaxian’s face with the front of his shoe, staring fixed at her.

"You wretch, what on earth have you done to me?"

Yu Yaxian hadn’t the strength to shake her head, her cracked lips parted slightly, and she pleaded in a voice weak as a mosquito’s buzz.

"Qiming, I really don’t know what happened. Even if you want me dead, let me die with a clear understanding."

Song Qiming frowned, assessing the truthfulness of her words.

Yu Yaxian coughed weakly, hoping to evoke Qiming’s sympathy in this way.

But in the next moment, the loathing in Qiming’s eyes deepened.

"If you dared to poison Yue Jiannan, you’d dare to poison me, who knows what someone like you would do!"

Yu Yaxian, on the verge of tears, had never dared to poison Yue Jiannan, and she had suffered from her own actions in the end. How could Qiming say such things?

Unable to hold back any longer, Du Lianxin stormed in, "Don’t waste your saliva on her. If it were up to me, I’d beat her to death, see how tough she is."

Song Qiming snorted, seemingly in agreement.

Yu Yaxian finally realized it was impossible to move him emotionally.

She squinted her eyes and stared at Song Qiming, mustering all her strength to speak.

"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, keep me locked up forever. I have family too. Once my parents report to the police, you’ll all end up in jail!"

Yu Yaxian, after all, was an educated person who knew a bit about the law.

Upon hearing her talk back, Du Lianxin, enraged beyond endurance, grabbed Yu Yaxian by the hair, attempting to smash her head violently against the ground.

But Song Qiming stopped her.

"Don’t touch her."

Yu Yaxian was right; they had some family assets, but nowhere near enough to cover the sky with one hand.

If the police got involved and it was discovered that they had mistreated Yu Yaxian, they would definitely be arrested and thrown in jail.

Song Qiming also felt that since three days hadn’t made Yu Yaxian confess, using force was probably futile.

Suddenly, he changed his expression and knelt down tenderly, cupping Yu Yaxian’s cheeks.

"Yaxian, we’ve had our feelings for each other, after all. Just tell me honestly, what have you done to me, hmm?"

The excessively gentle tone made Yu Yaxian break out in a cold sweat.
