Chapter 239 You Drugged Me!

He Lulu was still arguing with De Ertai. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t expect that the Hu merchants intended to start a circus team because of her.

And did they intend to use her as their cash cow?

When Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of the dirty little animals in the circus that were ill-treated, she wanted to spit at them.

This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao had no time to think about Chu Yunshen. She secretly pricked up her ears and listened carefully to their conversation, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to sneak out of this place when the men were not keeping an eye on her.

Although she was very angry, she had to be with them for the time being! At the very least, they should not sell her away today. Otherwise, how could she escape later?

Cheng Xiaoxiao prayed silently in her heart, but she inadvertently found that her body was not as stiff as before, and she began to feel a little refreshed.

It was a good sign. She decided to restrain her thoughts and continue to remain static for the time being, so as to give herself time to recover her strength.

Just now, He Lulu even looked down at her when he felt that she had moved. Sensing the murderous gaze, Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and snuggled in He Lulu’s embrace.

Sure enough, no one could resist such a cute sight.

After casting a look at the Persian cat, He Lulu continued to scold De Ertai. When he looked away, Cheng Xiaoxiao let out a small sigh of relief.

It was at this time that Cheng Xiaoxiao realized that the Hu merchants had brought her to another place. She didn’t know if this place was close to Chu Yunshen’s courtyard, and if it was easy to trace her way back or not.

Cheng Xiaoxiao squinted again and used her eyelids as a cover as she carefully checked her surroundings.

It was an enclosed space, and it looked more like a warehouse than a room. There were only a few small and narrow skylights here, and they were located quite high in the room that Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t climb up without the help of other factors even if she was a cat now.

The only exit other than those few skylights was the door, which was made of a whole piece of thick wooden board. There was a thick iron chain hanging on the door and a large iron lock that looked heavy.

However, the iron chain and iron lock were not in their original positions but were hung at the door. As for the key, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked around but could not find it.

Cheng Xiaoxiao also secretly looked at He Lulu and the other two men several times but found nothing.

There was nothing special about the warehouse. There were many linen sacks on the ground that were neatly arranged. Each sack was stuffed with something to the fullest and was tightly tied up.

In front of those sacks were iron cages covered with black cloth. The cages were of different sizes, but until now, Cheng Xiaoxiao could not hear any movement from the cages.

Apart from the packed linen sacks and iron cages, there was only a wooden table and four benches in this place.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be a warehouse that was used to store goods. Who would have thought that the Hu merchants had such a secret territory? The careless Xiaowu only found out about the courtyard that the Hu merchants had rented, but he missed out on such an important warehouse. It seemed that she had to rely on herself to return.

Cheng Xiaoxiao originally had a trace of hope. She thought that if she failed to escape, she could at least rely on Chu Yunshen and the others to rescue her. Now it seemed that she could only rely on herself to survive and stand on her own!

Never mind!

Only when there was no way out could she be motivated to find a better way to survive!

Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately made up her mind. After she was back, the first thing she would do was to tell Chu Yunshen about this secret place and ask him to flip this place upside down.

He also had to capture all of these Hu merchants without leaving anyone behind!

Oh, and Gu Hunge too!

Gu Hunge was at the top of her wanted list.

Not only did she want to catch Gu Hunge, but she also had to lock him in a bag. The Cosmos Sack was too small, so she would throw him into a sackcloth bag. In any case, any bag was fine. She just wanted him to have a taste of the feeling of being in the bag.

Right!

It was best to think of a way to make them feel as uncomfortable as her. Cheng Xiaoxiao figured that the Hu merchants must have done something to her that made her feel light-headed and weak.

When she was back, she must ask Mu Bai to check on her. What if they administered her with something powerful that was harmful to her?!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was deep in her thoughts for a moment. By the time she regained her composure, she happened to hear them talk about something like “floor pinch”.

What was “floor pinch”?

It was really not Cheng Xiaoxiao’s fault for being absent-minded, but it was because the Hu merchants talked in such a weird accent that Cheng Xiaoxiao needed a moment to interpret and process the information.

To make matters worse, she felt dizzy and wobbly now. It was very difficult for her to keep focus and maintain a sharp mind at all times!

Moreover, De Ertai’s Chu language was worse than that of a toddler.

Fortunately, with the help of the other two men, Cheng Xiaoxiao barely understood what was the “floor pinch” meant. They were talking about Chu Yunshen she had been thinking about just now.

Did they just talk about Chu Yunshen?

Could it be that Chu Yunshen and the others were discovered? What should they do…

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. She wished she could rush out and tell Chu Yunshen about this right now.

Of course, she could only think about it for the time being.

She couldn’t do anything right now because she was dizzy and her body was weak.

She would definitely go back to inform Chu Yunshen and the men about the current situation, but she didn’t know what would be the best timing to do so. She wondered when these Hu merchants would leave or if they would bring her with them too…

Perhaps Cheng Xiaoxiao was too absorbed in her thoughts that she unconsciously moved her body.

The good news was that she was gaining more and more control of her own body, but the bad news was that He Lulu was looking at her again!

What should she do?

“Just pretend to sleep!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had her eyes closed tightly, lay in He Lulu’s embrace like a log. She hoped that He Lulu would quickly look away after a glance at her.

No! It would be better if he didn’t look at her at all! “Just look at your friends, man!”

“Just continue your chat! Chat all you like!”

“Well, you can even quarrel! Make this place as your boxing ring!”

“Just don’t pay attention to me. I’m just a wuss…”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was flustered. If He Lulu and the other men found out that she had woken up, wouldn’t she be killed on the spot?

“Did you overdose her? Why is she still not awake?”

He Lulu asked with some doubts without noticing the trace of stiffness on the cat’s face.

There were now only He Lulu and De Ertai in the cellar. Because He Lulu was asking about the drug, De Ertai knew that He Lulu was asking him.

“Don’t worry, the drug won’t kill her. Even if she hasn’t woken up yet, she should wake up in a while. You can give her a shot if you want,”

Delta glanced at the Persian cat in Heb Lulu’s arms and replied in a spooky tone.

Did they drug her?

And they wanted to give her a shot?

They were so brutal!

How could they do something so despicable to a young and beautiful lady like her?

Cheng Xiaoxiao was burning with anger. She slowly opened her eyes in confusion as if she had just woken up.

Damn it!

If she resisted now, it would be deadly for her. She wanted to survive, so it was best to be sensible now and launch a surprise attack when they were unprepared. Then, she would escape.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had already come up with an imperfect and immature combat plan.

She would pretend to be sickly right now. It would be best if they took her out of here, but it didn’t matter otherwise. She would just stay here and scout out the situation. When these people let down their guard, she would sneak out.

Anyway, as long as she came out of this door, she would be free to do whatever she wanted.

At that time, she would not be afraid of these Hu people.

She started her mission right away.

The Persian cat opened her big innocent eyes and looked at He Lulu. She blinked a few times, and her mouth emitted a sweet and enticing meow.

“Little fellow, from today onwards, you will be with us.”

When He Lulu saw that the Persian cat had woken up, he placed her on the ground. As soon as he did so, the cat immediately fell to the ground.

“Meow!”

The cat let out a shrill cry.

“What happened? What happened? What happened to you?” He Lulu held the cat back in his arms and gently patted away all the dirt on her body.

“What happened?”

“I’m executing my mission, of course!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao grimaced in pain. Just now, in order to make her show more convincing, she deliberately fell down. It hurt so much that she trembled.

In fact, she was not pretending.

If she had woken up later, this would have been her condition.

Her whole body was weak and her consciousness was blurred.

Thankfully, she had woken up earlier, hence, she could come up with a plan to escape from their clutches.

Cheng Xiaoxiao continued to put on an act as earnestly as possible.

In He Lulu’s embrace, the cat looked fragile and lifeless. He Lulu glared at De Ertai, expecting an explanation from him.

“Come and take a look! The cat will be our cash cow from now on. We can’t let anything bad happen to her!”

When He Lulu saw De Ertai’s indifferent expression, he was furious. While he was busy checking the cat’s condition, he roared at De Ertai without turning his head.

Seeing the situation, De Ertai knew that He Lulu would be anxious if he didn’t say something now. Although he didn’t want to keep the cat around, it didn’t mean that he wanted anything bad to happen to her.

“Let me take a look.” De Ertai motioned for He Lulu to put the cat on the ground while he walked over to check the cat’s paws over and over again.

“Be gentle, in case you hurt her again.” He Lulu warned when he noticed De Ertai’s rough action, and the cat seemed to wince in pain.

De Ertai glared at He Lulu, but he did not walk away. Instead, he pinched the cat’s face and looked at it for a while.

Cheng Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and tried her best to resist the urge to scratch Delta. She repeatedly reassured herself in her heart.

“It’s fine. It’ll be over soon. I am sacrificing myself for the entertainment industry and for the art.”

“Nothing matters as long as I can escape! I can do this! Just endure this humiliation for a while!”
