Hu Lei heard multiple people speaking around her in emotionless and controlled tones. She tried to open her eyes, but they felt swollen and heavy. She tried to move her arms or legs, but they felt bound and immobile. Her throat felt dry and hoarse. Even if she wanted to call out for help, she could not.
This feeling… it seemed that she had been sedated once again. She wanted to curse out at her luck which did not seem to be getting better. But what she could not fathom was how she had fallen into yet another trap. After the incident involving her father, she had become more vigilant.
She tried to recall what had occurred before she had ended up where she was at the moment. Nothing strange had happened as far as she could remember. She had spent the day as she always did. She had gone to the gym, flipped through some books and napped. When evening came, she had eaten before taking a shower and going to bed.
