Zhang Ning huffed breathlessly as she reached the children's playroom. Her secret door that connected to the entrance and exit, also connected that led to a playroom where she kept some of her torture tools.
The whole way, she was trying to call Zhang Chao but to no avail. None of her calls went through. By the time she tried for almost the thirtieth time, she finally realized that something was seriously wrong.
Not that the guard didn't inform her about the situation, but she refused to believe it. She couldn't imagine her father being taken hostage or kidnapped.
"Tch, tch, tch."
Zhang Ning froze. The familiar voice crawled goosebumps on her skin.
"Come on, elder sister~ I thought you were better than this."
The light shone upon her, and Zhang Xiulan was sitting on a chair, tapping her foot on the floor. She was amused as she watched Zhang Ning's condition.
"Long time no see, sis~~"
