She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1342: Find a Way to Escape

I guess he went to find Qin Cuifen.

Julian is a local informant; he’s well-connected in every area and provides supplies for various shady transactions.

The white woman spoke in English, which Sheng Ning couldn’t understand, jabbering for a long time, then gave each of them a piece of bread and a glass of milk, and locked them in the inner room.

The room is about twenty square meters, with only a carpet on the floor and nothing else. There was only one place on the wall with a window, and it’s all sealed.

Sheng Ning got up and tried to push the door, discovering it was locked tight. Helplessly, she sat on the carpet and began to eat. Her appetite is very large now; a small piece of bread can’t fill her up. After eating, she touched her belly helplessly, silently apologizing to the baby inside.

“Hmm.” A full piece of bread was handed to her, and Sheng Ning looked up in surprise, discovering it was the silent black girl. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, her eyes shining unusually bright, and her features looked especially alluring.

No wonder Julian kept her alone.

“Hmm.” The girl uttered a simple sound, then pointed at Sheng Ning’s belly, then her own, making a sad face.

Sheng Ning actually understood; she meant that being pregnant is hard. She once was pregnant too, but the child wasn’t born, and so she feels sad.

“You…” Sheng Ning didn’t expect that she looked so young but had given birth.

“My name is Ada.”

This time, Sheng Ning understood her, “Thank you!” She took the bread from her, feeling deeply moved, silently vowing to repay her doubly in the future.

Ada smiled and shook her head, then returned to her seat. Leaning back against the wall, she returned to the numb expression she had in the box.

Sheng Ning ate the bread piece by piece, but her mind was spinning rapidly.

She couldn’t be numb, nor resigned to her fate.

Believing Julian would soon take action, that would be her best chance to escape.

One Weekly

Xu Mo rested for two months before resuming work; the incident hit him hard, especially when he learned that Sheng Ning had not been rescued, his inner self-reproach was evident.

Taken hostage together, he was rescued, but the one who truly deserved saving wasn’t.

As a man, he felt useless.

Of course, although his interests differ, he never denied within himself that he is a responsible man with integrity.

“Hello, Chief Editor.”

“Chief Editor.”

The magazine staff admired him when they saw him, knowing the Chief Editor had been kidnapped, their hearts filled with respect.

Someone even suggested writing a feature article on the Chief Editor, but Xu Mo scolded them so fiercely they almost got fired, and no one dared mention it again.

“Chief Editor, Manager Wang is waiting for you in your office.”

The little fat man now has a managerial position at Meng Ping’s company, practically second in command. But the most sought-after position now is the head of state-owned enterprises, and his managerial status doesn’t hold much weight outside.

Thinking of the little fat man, Xu Mo grinded his teeth in anger. If it weren’t for him shouting to save Meng Ping, would he have been captured?

Xu Mo charged angrily into the office, just in time to see the little fat man fiddling with the globe in front of him.

“You have the nerve to come?”

“Why wouldn’t I? I’m your boss.” Forget it, considering he took the heat for the boss, he wouldn’t argue with him.
