Chapter 1511: Chapter 1504: The Final Choice (10)

Of course, there was nothing.

The kidnappers probably hadn’t seen such an obedient hostage before; she complied with everything and kept saying "sorry" as if she hadn’t been kidnapped but was visiting as a guest.

For this reason, when they tied her up again, she intentionally kept her hands far apart. They didn’t pay much attention and just finished the job, not realizing that the rope was loosely tied, which was more conducive to her escape.

Lu Weixi kept silent all the way back to the small cabin. Because the cloth over her eyes was quite loose this time, she roughly understood the situation of her captivity. It was a small cabin in a mountain hollow, deep in the mountains, not near any water; it took a long time to reach the sight of the reservoir.

Moreover, along the way, she noticed that among the two kidnappers, one was leading her while the other followed behind, ostensibly to clear their tracks. It was clear that even if these two weren’t professional kidnappers, they were practiced in this line of work. And with their familiarity with the terrain, they must live nearby or have lived here before.

After the two men locked her in the small cabin, she spit out the wooden splinter from her mouth, slowly moved it with her fingers, clutched it, then returned it to its original position to grind away little by little.

Perhaps because Lu Weixi was too submissive, the two kidnappers visibly reduced their surveillance of her. Maybe they thought a woman like her couldn’t cause much trouble, especially weakened as she was without food or drink. Occasionally, they glanced over and saw her in the same position, at the same place, as if she had fallen asleep.

After the kidnappers left, she immediately started to work carefully on the rope. This was the kind of thick hemp rope used for fishing, toughened by starching, hard to cut even with a sharp knife, let alone a wooden splinter.

But Lu Weixi had no other choice but to persevere bit by bit to wear down the rope. In addition to this, she thought about the slip of the tongue of one kidnapper, mentioning that they would eventually kill her despite the ransom.

Initially, of course, she was worried they would follow through, but after two days with them, she found they weren’t entirely monstrous. Although one shouldn’t hope for a flicker of decency from bad people, she had indeed considered that if Qin Zhiyou managed to handle the situation and pay the ransom, she might just have a chance at escape.

But given what that person had said, her murder was planned from the start. It wasn’t for money or for a threat but a blazing hatred!

Perhaps they didn’t bear a grudge against her; maybe Qin Zhiyou had to take the fall. But who exactly, would want her dead?

It’s hard to say with Qin Zhiyou. Given all the considerations, even if he had business rivals and discord within the second and third branches of his family, would they go as far as to murder? And what about her own situation? Although she was at odds with the Bai Family, it seemed unlikely that Bai Changyou and the Cai Family mother and daughter would hate her to this extent, right? Even if Cai Yiren knew she could not have children, she wouldn’t be wicked enough to want her dead, would she?

But Lu Weixi also knew it was pointless to speculate. Perhaps the kidnappers simply found her annoying and wanted her dead out of sheer malice. Whatever the case, she couldn’t leave her fate in others’ hands; she had to make her own efforts!

However, ultimately the wooden splinter was unreliable; it broke before the rope did. Luckily, she had pretended to trip and kicked a stone when she first entered the door. Now she moved back to the stone to continue grinding the rope with it.
