The people around still thought that what happened was just as An Xiaodie had said: An Xiaomian had suddenly fallen ill and lost consciousness, so when someone took her to the hospital, they didn't interfere any further.
Therefore, two minutes later, when He Hua returned with lunch in hand, she didn't find An Xiaomian. After asking some people nearby and learning that An Xiaomian had suddenly fainted and been carried away in a hurry, He Hua sensed something was wrong. Then she promptly reported the situation to her own young master.
...
When An Xiaomian woke up, she found herself bound and completely unable to move.
She was locked in a room with torture instruments hanging on the walls. The room was lit, and although the instruments were neither as numerous nor as refined as those in the basement of Shangguan Xiu's villa, they were stained with blood and looked extremely ferocious, which caused An Xiaomian to be exceptionally scared.
