Chapter 177: Jiajia Is Captured

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dark dungeon, there were rows of iron cages. Each cage contained two to three people. All of them had dull eyes and were naked. They looked like soulless puppets.
The surroundings were cold and damp. Only the occasional squeaking of rats could be heard.
A man looked at the rat that ran past him and quickly grabbed it.
He broke the rat’s neck with brute force. When he saw blood flowing out, he quickly opened his mouth and drank the blood.
He sucked the blood dry in a few mouthfuls and stuffed it into his mouth without even peeling the rat skin.!!
When the others saw this, they gulped and revealed envious expressions.
“That Lin kid escaped again?” A deep voice came from afar.
When the people in the iron cage heard this voice, they all returned to their empty states, either lying down or sitting still.
“Yes, it’s my fault.”
Another respectful voice sounded. At this moment, the two of them had already arrived in front of the iron cage.
The first person who spoke was County Magistrate Cao. As for the second person, it was Manager Feng.
“Hmph.” County Magistrate Cao snorted. “There’s no hurry. Without this girl, capturing that kid will be easy.”
County Magistrate Cao looked around and asked, “Where is she?”
A man in black behind Manager Feng immediately stood up and answered with his head lowered, “We were worried that she would escape, so we locked her in the innermost room. Please follow me.”
After saying that, the man in black led the way to the innermost area. Unlike the other iron cages, this one had clearly just been added.
It was much thicker than the others, and there was only one person locked inside.
Shen Yijia lay limply in the cage. When she heard the sound, she turned around.
County Magistrate Cao sneered. “B*tch, how dare you attack my son? Have you ever thought that this day would come?”
Shen Yijia blinked and looked at the mole at the corner of County Magistrate Cao’s mouth. “I killed a bug, and now its father came to bother me too.” she thought.
There was no doubt that the flashy man was his biological son. They were both ugly. He glanced at her and turned his head away.
She could feel her body slowly recovering its strength. It should be because of her spiritual liquid physique. Now, all she had to do was wait.
When she recovered, she would hammer these people’s heads.
Seeing that she still did not take him seriously at this time, County Magistrate Cao thought of his son’s death.
She said fiercely, “Get her out and beat her within an inch of her life before sending her away with the others.”
“Sir, that’s not appropriate!” Manager Feng hurriedly stopped him.
“Huh?” County Magistrate Cao narrowed his eyes. He had yet to punish Manager Feng for what happened in his territory, but now he dared to disobey him.
Manager Feng wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and bent down to explain, “This woman is evil. The medicine we use is very effective, and should take down anyone easily.”
Manager Feng gulped before continuing. “However, I heard from our people that this person lasted for 15 minutes before falling. She even killed five to six of our men.”
“I’m afraid there might be an accident if I let her out of the cage,” Manager Feng said.
The more he spoke, the softer Manager Feng’s voice became. He was afraid that County Magistrate Cao would vent his anger on him.
When he found out that his young master had died, he did not sleep well. He was worried that County Magistrate Cao would bury him alive. The dozens of people who came to Qingping Town with his young master had suffered the same fate.
Fortunately, County Magistrate Cao felt that he was still useful and did not blame him.
County Magistrate Cao was indeed angry when he saw him. He kicked him angrily and said, “What’s the point of me raising you? You can’t do anything. However, if I don’t torture her, I won’t be able to appease my hatred.”
“There are so many ways to torture people. There’s no need to get them out of the cage.” Manager Feng said in a low voice.
Magistrate Cao smiled coldly and patted Manager Feng’s face. “Let’s do that. If you do well, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”
“Yes.” Manager Feng quickly nodded and bowed.
A rat scurried past County Magistrate Cao’s feet. He frowned in disgust and walked out. “I’ll leave this place to you for the time being. I still have something else to do. I’ll come back in a few days.”
She was already in his hands. He did not believe that she could escape.
After sending County Magistrate Cao off, Manager Feng retracted his smile and kicked the iron cage angrily. Seeing that Shen Yijia still remained silent, he sneered. “Let’s see how long you can remain stubborn.”
With that, he instructed the man in black and left.
Silence returned to the dungeon.
Shen Yijia secretly observed her surroundings and met a pair of eyes next door. She blinked nonchalantly.
The owner of those eyes paused and turned his head away from her.
This was definitely the first woman who had been captured and the only one who could be so calm.
Who wouldn’t be furious and try to escape when they’d first been captured?
However, they were all starved for a few days, causing them to lose the strength to make a fuss. In addition, their captors only gave them a bowl of clear porridge every two days.
The tiny portions of food were barely enough to feed children, let alone grown men like them.
Moreover, anyone who caused the most trouble would have to cut off their food supply for a week. In this way, no one would dare to cause trouble. In any case, they wouldn’t be able to get out by causing a fuss.
It had been half a year since they were first locked up here. Everyone had long lost their ferocity. Even if they were angry, they had to endure it in front of those people.
Out of curiosity about this woman, he took a few more glances.
Perhaps because of the medicine, Shen Yijia was cold and sleepy. She fell asleep in no time.
Suddenly, a basin of hot water fell on her head. Shen Yijia shivered and sat up. She glared at the man in black who had returned at some point. The man left without a word after splashing water on her.
When she first poured it down, Shen Yijia still felt warm and comfortable. After a while, she shivered from the cold.
After about fifteen minutes, the man in black came again. He carried a large bucket of snow and splashed it at her.
Shen Yijia wanted to avoid it, but the cage was only so big. The medicinal effect had yet to dissipate, so she could only be splashed all over again.
“Bastard, you better not let me out.” Shen Yijia gritted her teeth in anger. Her voice was trembling.
Every fifteen minutes, the man in black would come, alternating between hot and cold.
At first, Shen Yijia could still curse, but later on, she stopped speaking.
She was so cold that her teeth chattered and her body trembled. The entire dungeon echoed with the sound of her teeth colliding.
Shen Yijia’s body was curled up into a ball. Her face was pale, and her hair was stuck to her face. The color of the flowers on her forehead seemed to have faded a little.
Many people turned to look at her, as if to see when she would breathe her last.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the dungeon door was kicked open.
The two guards flew in and slammed into the iron cage. They spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
When had such a situation ever happened in the dungeon? This change made the people locked up look at the door. Many of them had hope in their eyes.
A handsome man in a black robe walked in with a cold expression. He was still strangling the man in black.
The man stood still and looked around at the people in the cage. He said coldly, “Where is she?”
