Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 283 People Meeting in the Dark

Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

There was the sound of water dripping in the darkness.

"Well……"

Wu Xingyun opened his eyes and saw only darkness.

This is where?

what happened……?

He vaguely recalled the events.

After going to the amusement park with Ziyao and Xiaoxuan, I suddenly felt a stomachache.

Then he went to the restroom, and after that... he had no memory of it.

Could this be... a kidnapping?!

Wu Xingyun's eyes widened, and he moved his hands and feet.

He found himself with his hands and feet bound, unable to move.

He looked up, wanting to check the situation.

Unfortunately, the surrounding environment was too dark, and he couldn't see anything.

All I could hear was a ticking sound.

"What the hell is this place?!"

The air was filled with an indescribable smell, damp and carrying a bloody odor.

Wu Xingyun tried to move, but he remained in the same place in vain.

"Don't move. Do you really think it's pitch black here?"

A strange and hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the darkness.

"Who, who's talking?!"

Shrinking nervously, Wu Xingyun asked warily.

The voice in the darkness sounded weak, and for some reason, it seemed somewhat familiar to Wu Xingyun.

Seems familiar?

"Don't move around. There are other things here. If you don't want to be swallowed by those things, you'd better behave."

"You, who are you?"

Wu Xingyun carefully struggled on the ground and felt that there was a wall next to her.

He sat up against the wall.

"Were you also kidnapped? Is it just you and me here?"

The darkness made Wu Xingyun feel very unsafe, so Phoenix, who had always been by his side, was left at the Gu family's residence because he was asleep.

Being all alone made Wu Xingyun's heart skip a beat.

"...I don't know how long I've been locked up. It's probably just the two of us here."

The voice coming from the darkness carried a strange meaning, and the word "person" was spoken with great significance.

"That's true, it's so dark here... we probably don't even know what time it is."

Wu Xingyun sighed, and he couldn't help but rub his bound fingers.

"What bad luck! I just took my kids shopping and had them play at the amusement park."

"I wonder how the child is doing..."

He suddenly disappeared. Xiao Xuan must have been terrified.

Wu Xingyun frowned.

This child is thoughtful and prone to overthinking; he might not be so sudden...

Hopefully, Ziyao can calm him down.

"Are you nervous?"

Perhaps his breathing had quickened, the man asked.

Wu Xingyun coughed twice.

"Hmm... I'm a little worried about the kids at home."

The voice in the darkness fell silent, as if trying to comfort Wu Xingyun.

"If it's an amusement park, and there are other people with you, you should be fine."

"The surveillance equipment in amusement parks is very sophisticated now, so if there's a problem..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Wu Xingyun silently rolled her eyes.

"How was I taken away? Even the best surveillance cameras can't protect against malicious intent..."

"But he has people with him, so he should be fine."

Zi Yao may seem carefree, but he's actually quite reliable when it matters.

"You're pretty unlucky too, you got arrested even earlier than me."

"What's your name?"

The person who had been silent for a long time paused.

"My surname is Gu."

Is your surname Gu?

what?

Wu Xingyun frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Could it be such a coincidence? Could it be...?

"Gu...Gu Jiaxi?"

hiss--

How do you know my name?!

How could it really be this unlucky guy!

Wu Xingyun almost wanted to roar to the heavens.

"...I am Wu Xingyun."

There was a thud, as if something had hit the wall.

"What, it's you?!"

"Your sister...is she alright?"

Gu Jiaxi asked haltingly, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Although Wu Xingyun was in the dark, he knew that the other party could not see his expression.

However, a hint of disdain still showed on his face.

The Gu family is truly a family that's consistently detestable...

Even the Gu family, which was a branch of the Gu family, made Wu Xingyun give way.

One is Gu Chen, who has designs on his ancestor, and the other is Gu Jiaxi, who harbors ill intentions towards his sister.

The Wu family is entangled with the Gu family, isn't that right?

"My sister is doing very well."

Wu Xingyun muttered to himself.

Upon hearing his answer, Gu Jiaxi relaxed for a moment, then suddenly tensed up again.

"You, you've been arrested. Your sister must be very worried."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

Wu Xingyun laughed in exasperation.

This guy is barely able to take care of himself, how can he be expected to protect him?

"...You should take care of yourself first."

I don't know what they're trying to prove.

Gu Jiaxi was unaware of his thoughts; she simply instinctively felt that as a police officer, she had to protect ordinary people.

In addition, Wu Xingyun is Wu Shiyu's younger brother, so his personal feelings also made him pay special attention to Wu Xingyun.

“After you went missing, the police station contacted my sister, and she has been looking for you for many days.”

"Who knew you'd get trapped in this place? It's pitch black, who could find you?"

Is she looking for herself...?

Gu Jiaxi's emotions were mixed; she was both happy and sad.

Wu Shiyu contacted him only because of a request from the Security Bureau.

She had no other feelings for herself.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? You've been locked up here for so many days, haven't you seen anyone else?"

Not hearing Gu Jiaxi speak, Wu Xingyun asked curiously.

Gu Jiaxi snapped out of her daze and cleared her throat.

"No, I've been locked up here ever since I arrived."

"The food that occasionally appears around me is mostly bread and the like... and some bottled water."

It seems that the person who imprisoned him only wanted to keep him locked up, and the food given to him was just enough to keep him from starving to death, but not enough to satisfy his hunger.

"That's strange, who on earth wants to capture you and me..."

Wu Xingyun really couldn't figure it out.

"I hope my ancestors can find me soon; it's cold and smells awful here."

"I can't stay with you that long."

It's hard to imagine how Gu Jiaxi endured so much darkness all by herself for so long.

"Who are you talking about?"

Gu Jiaxi paused in her breath.

“Ancestor… oh no, Wu Zhao. Don’t you know her?”

As Wu Xingyun spoke, an idea flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that..."

Wu Zhao!

Wu Xingyun shuddered, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Those are the people!

He immediately thought of a scene of stark white bones.

Wu Zhao is extremely protective of her own people; she is powerful but rarely has any weaknesses.

But the same cannot be said for the people around her.

Since the Wu family members couldn't get in, they could only target Wu Xingyun, who was outside.

Those people wanted to deal with Wu Zhao, so they captured him.

This is a trap!

Ancestors...

Don't come.
