The only source of light in the dim room was the bedside reading lamp.
The rest of the room was dark, but Mei Feng could clearly see the murderous look in Shen Xiu's eyes.
She felt the hands around her neck tighten as he said, "Are you going to speak up?"
She felt all the tiny hairs on her back standing on end as she choked.
She bit her lip and extended her hands, trying to wriggle out of his grip.
But she was pinned down by Shen Xiu and she wasn't as strong as the man. She struggled with all her strength for a while but it was useless.
Her chest was in extreme pain from the choking. For the first time, Mei Feng felt death coming down upon her.
Her mouth fell open, but no words came. She widened her mouth like a fish out of the water gasping for air. But her vision was blurring as all her other senses sharpened. Just as she thought that she was going to die, the hands around her neck loosened their grip.
