She lay on the ground. There was nothing around her except the cold air that kept coming out and invading her body.
She suddenly felt that she was going to die like this.
She shouldn't be able to live after being forced into this place by them.
Maybe this was a good thing. She couldn't go back to the Tang family, and the person she loved had another woman. Her innocence would also be gone.
Since she didn't want to commit suicide before, then this time, if she died like this, she would really be free.
She slowly closed her eyes. Because of the cold, her lips were bitten until they bled, and tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes.
Her eyelashes, tears, and hair quickly formed a thin layer of ice on her body.
She could no longer feel the cold. She only breathed weakly, quietly waiting for her final death to come.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally felt darkness. She could no longer feel anything, and her entire body was stiff as if she was dead.
...
In the study room.
The sound of objects being smashed had already stopped.
However, it was frighteningly quiet inside. Under such circumstances, no one dared to enter.
Yuan Qi and Yuan Shan could only quietly wait at the door.
Suddenly, the study room's door was opened, and Huangfu Qiye, who looked a little gloomier than before, appeared at the door.
"Go investigate and find that man and dispose of him!"
Hearing this, Yuan Qi knew who the man his young master was talking about was. It was definitely the man that Tang Xiaowei had secretly gone to the rooftop to meet, so he hurriedly nodded. "Yes, young master."
Yuan Qi quickly left.
Yuan Shan thought of the cold in the freezer and then thought of how Tang Xiaowei might not be able to take it anymore, so she couldn't help but whisper, "Young master, Miss Tang, she..."
"You want to accompany her?" Huangfu Qiye coldly glanced at Yuan Shan.
Yuan Shan was so scared that she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Only then did Huangfu Qiye turn around and slam the door shut.
However, although he said that he hated this woman for betraying him, hated her for not being willing to fall in love with him, hated her for not being willing to bear his child, this was not really true.
However, when he recalled that the freezer was indeed not a place for humans to stay, Huangfu Qiye walked over to the desk with a dark expression and sat down. He turned on the computer and brought up the surveillance cameras in the freezer.
A few minutes passed, and he frowned slightly.
There were only two surveillance cameras in the freezer. One was in the innermost corner, and the other was at the door. At this moment, the two surveillance cameras did not capture Tang Xiaowei's figure.
He immediately stood up unhappily and opened the door of the study. He roughly grabbed Yuan Shan's collar, and his eyes were filled with gloom. "Are you sure that you threw Tang Xiaowei into the freezer? Why haven't I seen her?"
Yuan Shan was almost scared to death by her master.
Seeing Huangfu Qiye ask this, she guessed that he must have checked the surveillance cameras.
Thus, she hurriedly explained, "Young master, I really sent Miss Tang there. Although she didn't want to go in, I brought my bodyguards with me. She knew that she couldn't escape, so she walked in by herself."
"Then why didn't I see her inside?' 'Huangfu Qiye threw Yuan Shan away. Yuan Shan fell to the ground, her bones aching from the fall.
She endured the pain and whispered, "Maybe she's somewhere that the surveillance cameras can't see."
"Then go and check the situation." Huangfu Qiye couldn't see Tang Xiaowei, so he was both angry and a little panicked. However, he was angry at Tang Xiaowei now, so he didn't go to see her personally.
Yuan Shan nodded. "Okay, I'll go now."
Yuan Shan hurriedly stood up and staggered away.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Qiye still stood where he was, feeling uncomfortable all over.
A few minutes later, Yuan Shan ran back in panic. "Young master, it's bad. Miss Tang has already fainted from the cold. She looks in a very dangerous condition. Should we let her stay in there...?"
Before Yuan Shan could finish her sentence, she saw a figure leave quickly.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Huangfu Qiye, who had just stood in front of her, had disappeared.
When she turned around, she found that he had already disappeared round the corner of the corridor.
Yuan Shan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that young master was still worried about Miss Tang. Then, there should be hope for Miss Tang.
She ran over as well.
Huangfu Qiye ran like mad all the way. It only took him a minute to reach the freezer.
The door to the freezer was still closed. The male servant stood guard at the door, very dutiful.
Huangfu Qiye thought of what Yuan Shan had just said and ordered angrily, "Open the door. Open the door immediately!"
This was the first time the male servant had seen this young master come to a place like the freezer. He was so frightened that his fingers trembled as he opened the door.
Huangfu Qiye pushed the door open. A gust of cold air blew against his face, causing him to shiver.
Only then did he remember that he had rushed over in a hurry just now, wearing only a thin shirt.
But now, he couldn't care less. He was really afraid, afraid that Tang Xiaowei would really freeze to death here.
He wasn't afraid of killing, but he couldn't bear to let this woman die.
He hated her to the extreme just now, and wanted to torture her to ease his anger. But now, before his anger had subsided, this woman was actually about to die. Huangfu Qiye's face was gloomy, and he quickly walked inside.
Soon, he saw Tang Xiaowei, who was frozen stiff on the ground.
She did not move. She was only wearing a thin dress, and her body was covered in thin ice.
Huangfu Qiye did not know why, but seeing her like this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. This was the first time he felt this kind of pain.
It was unforgettable.
He walked over, squatted down, reached out his hands and hugged her.
She was still breathing, but she had already fainted from the cold.
Her body was really cold. He felt as if he was hugging an ice cube.
He did not think anymore. He quickly carried her out of the freezer and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Soon, the doctor came. He kept hugging her and refused to let go. The air conditioner in the bedroom was turned on. She was cold all over. The doctor said that he wanted her body to warm up first.
Another servant went to put in hot water. Huangfu Qiye chased her out and personally ran a bath for her. He did not bring any color to her face; he just wanted her body to warm up.
She was unconscious in the bathtub. Huangfu Qiye's face was dark as he quietly put in hot water and kept watch over her.
It was not until two hours had passed that her body slowly returned to its normal temperature. Her body was no longer stiff and soft.
However, she was still asleep and did not wake up once.
This time, Huangfu Qiye was very calm. He carried her out of the bathtub with a cold face, wiped her clean, and put on her pajamas. After returning to the bedroom, he asked the doctor to examine her again.
A few hours later, Huangfu Qiye's eyes were bloodshot, and stubble appeared on his chin. It was already midnight.
Tang Xiaowei was still not awake. Even though she had been receiving IV fluids, she was still unconscious.
