NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Chi Yunmeng’s Deep Red Silk Dress and Her Sister’s Peculiar Behavior
The next day, when Chi Yunmeng woke up, it was already 2:00 in the afternoon. She felt utterly exhausted, with sore cheeks. She raised a jade-white arm to prop herself up and saw that Zhao Renzhou was nowhere to be found. She was alone in the room again.
Her torn white silk nightdress lay on the floor, and on the bedside table nearby, there was a similarly styled but deep red lace nightdress. On top of it was a note that read, “Money has been wired.”
Chi Yunmeng picked up the note, crumpled it, and threw it away. She leaned back on the bed.
Chi Yunmeng couldn’t help but grit her teeth. This jerk really thought nothing of her. He came and left as he pleased, without even taking the time to talk. With an impatient gesture, she muttered to herself, annoyed.
She swept the deep red lace nightdress onto the floor and searched for her phone. She dialed her sister Chi Yunxi.
In Dragon Country, Jinghai City, outside a tall building, Chi Yunxi and her roommate walked arm in arm, feeling relieved as they exited the building.
Each of them held a contract in their hands. It wasn’t until they were outside that the nervous tension on their faces began to ease.
Chi Yunxi’s roommate couldn’t help but say, “It’s finally over. Those people were so intimidating. Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened.”
Thinking about the intimidating members of the underworld organization who filled the room, smoking and exuding an air of menace, both of them couldn’t help but shudder. Fortunately, they had given them the money, and they had retrieved the contract.
Chi Yunxi nodded and said, “Yeah, you’re right. Let’s not look for part-time jobs in the future. Let’s focus on our studies.”
Suddenly, her phone rang. Chi Yunxi picked it up and saw her sister’s number. She answered the call.
“Sis.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“I’m fine.”
“I didn’t lie to you!”
“Everything is really okay on my end.”
“You can rest assured!”
“Sis.”
“Why does your voice sound a bit hoarse?”
“Have some water.”
“Huh?”
“Hello?”
On the other end, Chi Yunmeng suddenly hung up after a few words, leaving Chi Yunxi baffled. What happened? If her throat was hoarse, she should drink water, right? Why was she upset?
Chi Yunxi’s knowledge base hadn’t covered this, so she had no idea why her sister got irritated when she mentioned that.
Her roommate asked, “What’s going on?”
“Your sister’s phone call,” her roommate said.
Chi Yunxi nodded, “Yeah.”
Her roommate looked envious and said, “Wow! Yunxi, what does your sister do? I’ve never heard you mention it. She just gave you fifty thousand yuan like it’s nothing. It’s not like me. I had to scrape together ten thousand yuan, and my family scolded me. I guess all my pocket money for these past few years is gone…”
Yesterday, Chi Yunxi had asked for ten thousand yuan, but today her bank account suddenly had an additional fifty thousand yuan. It surprised both Chi Yunxi and her roommate. Her sister must be really rich!
This piqued her roommate’s curiosity, and upon hearing her roommate’s questioning, Chi Yunxi thought about last night’s phone call and her sister’s suppressed voice.
She couldn’t help but blush and said, “Uh? Well, I don’t really know. My sister is quite mysterious. She hasn’t come back for four or five years.”
“It seems like she’s overseas,” Chi Yunxi replied. “I don’t really know what she does exactly…”
“Let’s go, let’s go!” she continued. “Let’s get back to school quickly.”
Her roommate just realized where they were. They quickly left.
In the high-rise building behind them, the members of the underworld organization who had provided the loan for Chi Yunxi and her roommate’s room were standing by the window, watching them leave.
A newly recruited member couldn’t help but speak up, “Big brother, are we just letting them go like this? They’re so beautiful… What a waste…”
He had only joined a few days ago and had already enjoyed various pleasures. He had tasted the flavors of different women.
However, seeing such beautiful female college students like Chi Yunxi and her roommate was a first for him.
The bald leader, equivalent to the boss, said, “What’s the rush? Good goods need time to mature. That’s when it gets interesting… The contracts we gave them are fake. Wait for the interest to accumulate to a hundred thousand after some time.”
“Find them again…” the bald leader said. “When the time comes, won’t they be at my mercy? I can do whatever I want. Remember, we’re a legitimate company. We use contracts to communicate. Everything is clearly stated in black and white.”
“If she doesn’t repay on time, is it my fault if the interest accumulates to a hundred thousand? As for what to do if she can’t repay, it’s all voluntary…”
The newly recruited member couldn’t help but nod. He had learned something new. You could do things like this too…
He couldn’t help but look at the backs of Chi Yunxi and her roommate as they left and silently thought, “I’ll get to enjoy my ‘soup’ sooner or later. No need to rush. No need to rush…”
Little did he know that because of this, they would face a hellish scenario in the future. Not only did they fail to get Chi Yunxi and her roommate, but they also lost their superior, the famous ‘Brother Dao’ in Jinghai City.
Her kneecaps had been dug out. She would be wheelchair-bound for life…
On the other side, in Northern Burma, in the town of Gawei, at the villa.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yunmeng couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Her throat was indeed a bit hoarse… That jerk… She lifted the covers and got out of bed, her body exposed to the sunlight, looking exceptionally fair.
Chi Yunmeng glanced at the deep red lace nightdress on the floor, took a deep breath. She couldn’t just go out like this…
She bent down to pick it up and pulled it over herself. It felt particularly silky, just as she had expected. It had only reached her thighs when she cursed under her breath at this doggone thing.
Then, she remembered something. She hadn’t seen any food on the bedside table. Since that was the case…
Chi Yunmeng walked to the door and tried turning the handle. Indeed, the door opened…
There was a hint of joy on Chi Yunmeng’s face.
Could it be… she wasn’t going to be kept captive anymore?!
