“It’s as cold as an ice cellar down here.
How dare they tell me to deliver the food?”

“I wonder who is locked up here? I can’t believe that they haven’t starved to death already with only a bowl of porridge that looks like clear water every day.”

“Hey, are you dead yet? Eat.”

The large iron door was banged on.
Shen Xiaoxiao subconsciously knitted her eyebrows and slowly climbed out from the corner.
She grabbed the bowl next to her that already had a big hole in it and stood up, moving toward the door step by step.

A small window at the bottom of the metal door opened with a “clang”.

Shen Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned her head to avoid the small amount of light that came in.
After 10 years in a dark room and 10 years of being accompanied by darkness, her vision had gradually deteriorated.

She could not adapt to the light and could not avoid it in time.

“Oh my god, this is too smelly.
This smell is too pungent.”

Was it smelly? Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the small dark room.
She did not think it was smelly.
For the past ten years, this smell had accompanied her every day.
She had long gotten used to it.

An iron ladle with a spoonful of porridge with only a few grains of rice was placed inside.

Clang!

The small window closed again.
The dark room returned to darkness.
The man who delivered the food left while cursing.

Shen Xiaoxiao held the bowl of cold soup and slowly walked back to the corner.
Her limbs were getting weaker and weaker.
It was probably winter, seeing as the dark room had been getting colder and colder recently.
The shabby quilt on her body was covered in spots, and it was getting harder and harder to survive the winter in the north which was lower than -10 degrees Celsius.

She rubbed her aching limbs.
The tendons of her hands and feet that had been torn off in the past would become sore in the winters.

But what was this pain?

She swallowed the bowl of cold porridge in small bites.
Today, there was some sand in the porridge, and it hurt a little when she swallowed it.

She could not bear to spit it out, so she treated it as an extra mouthful of food.

She took her time to finish the small half bowl of porridge and slowly stood up.
In order to maintain her strength and keep warm, she began to wander around the dark room that was only eight square meters.
Otherwise, how would she survive this winter?

“What did you say? The key is in her throat?” A surprised female voice came from the side.

“Yes, we put a mini detector in the porridge she swallowed.
Just now, we checked it very thoroughly.”

A white wedding dress, exquisite jewelry, and a beautiful face that made women feel ashamed of themselves when they looked at it.
At this moment, she was tidying up her makeup in front of a mirror.
When she heard the shocking news, she frowned slightly.

Even in her dreams, Liu Yufei would not have expected to hear such an answer.
She had to admit that she wanted to praise her big sister for her hiding spot.

Not far away, the man in black bent his waist and occasionally raised his head to peek at the woman tidying up her makeup in front of the mirror.
This lady of the Liu family was really beautiful.
Her figure was really top-notch.

Liu Yufei saw the man’s every move in the mirror.
She smiled contemptuously and deliberately pulled at her collar again.

The man in black could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The fire in his eyes seemed to deepen.

Liu Yufei saw his greedy look.
Truly pathetic.
She had seen too many men like this.

“Let’s go.
It has been ten years.
I should go and meet my nice Big Sister.
I’m getting married today.
I should inform her of such good news.”

“Big Sister, I’m here to see you.”

The large metal door creaked, and a thick layer of dust instantly covered the entire room.
The pungent stench of urine in the room made everyone cover their noses and take a big step back.

For the first time in 10 years, the dark eight-square-meter room was displayed in front of everyone.

A woman curled up beside a haystack was wrapped in a layer of tattered cotton.
Her hair was long and dirty.
She was barefoot, and her entire body was black and dirty.

Liu Yufei walked gracefully with her hands covering her mouth as she slowly walked up to Shen Xiaoxiao, her white diamond-studded strapless wedding dress all pure and white.
It was a stark contrast to the dirty and messy disheveled woman with long and messy hair in front of her.

One was bright and beautiful, while the other was downtrodden and dirty.

“Is everything ready? You swallowed something that shouldn’t be swallowed.
Being the good sister I am, I’ll help open Big Sister’s stomach and clean it up bit by bit.”

This voice was so ear-piercing that even if she turned into ashes, Shen Xiaoxiao would definitely not be mistaken.
It was her, that woman, Liu Yufei, her mother’s illegitimate daughter from an affair with the chauffeur.

She actually came in person.
It had been ten years, and they had tried all means but still could not get the key they wanted from her.
Was she finally unable to wait any longer and decided to personally come down?

But what did she mean when she said that just now? Swallowed something that shouldn’t be swallowed.
Could it be that she had discovered something?

Could it be that they knew the key hiding the Shen family’s life-saving funds was hidden in her throat?

Impossible! How could they know? In order to protect this key, she had not spoken a single word for 10 years, not even making a single sound.
Even if the key had grown into her flesh, even if she had been tortured to the point of unbearable pain, she had gritted her teeth and endured it.
She had hoped that one day, she would be able to escape and use this wealth to make a comeback to take revenge.

But now, Liu Yufei said that she had found it? How was that possible?

“Hmph, Sister, look at your stupid expression.
Did you think that you could hide from it by pretending to be deaf an
