Li Chuntao remained silent throughout the trip from the country she was currently living to the place where her family was. It was a long journey but there was no hint of tiredness on her face, only her anxiousness could be perceived by other passengers of the craft.
She shut her eyes and clenched her fists on her lap, praying to all deities that whatever was waiting for her back home wasn't as terrible as she assumed it to be. However, the mere fact that her uncle used his connection abroad to retrieve her in a short time meant that the Li family was in trouble.
'Ying…'
Li Chuntao had this feeling that it was about her twin sister. She insisted on giving her uncle a call first but her companions didn't give her any leeway to do so. So Li Chuntao remained silent in the corner, visibly trembling in fear.
They only gave her a few minutes to change from her work clothes into a pair of pants and a black turtleneck sweater before they left her apartment.
