Chapter 52: Dream Vacation Resort
Fu Yanghui and Pan Mao climbed up the stairs in the dark, taking care to leave a few of their fellow players behind to monitor the situation. The second floor was filled with the residents' rooms, and the servants lived in small suites behind the villa.
Mrs. Shen was currently downstairs, but her daughter hadn't been seen leaving, nor had she appeared downstairs earlier, so she was likely on the second floor.
Fu Yanghui recalled the noise they had heard earlier: "It should be something hitting the wooden door."
Pan Mao was even more certain: "Definitely. Someone must be locked up here."
Their voices echoed faintly in the empty corridor. Perhaps having heard them, a room on the second floor fell silent for a moment, then the "bang bang" sounds started again. It was the sound of someone, bound and struggling, using their elbows to pound on the door, desperately trying to attract attention.
Both Fu Yanghui and Pan Mao's expressions tightened: Why was someone locked up in the Shen family's villa?
Being bold and action-oriented, they used night-vision tools, taking advantage of the darkness where they were unseen, and headed towards the source of the noise.
Pan Mao used a small tool to unlock the door. The rustling noises outside continued, but the person inside seemed to sense something and gradually quieted down.
When Pan Mao opened the door, he saw a thin figure at the doorway: a young girl, probably just recently an adult.
Her clothes were actually very expensive, and the bags and jewelry in the room were all high-end, so she was not lacking in material things.
But the girl's mental state was extremely poor. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were dark and sunken, and her gaze was both hopeful and desperate, as if a flower in full bloom was withering away.
Her hands and feet were bound, with some blood marks from her struggles. Her forehead and exposed arms were bruised and purple, showing that she had been repeatedly banging on the wooden door, trying to draw attention.
Pan Mao's pupils contracted, and he silently mouthed to Fu Yanghui: "Shen Jingdan."
Shen Jingdan, Mrs. Shen's only daughter.
For Shen Jingdan, a young lady, to fall to such a state, even with family discord, was unimaginable. Did Mrs. Shen know about this?
The two players, shocked at first, then realized that Mrs. Shen must know, otherwise her strange reaction at the door and her attempts to drive them away wouldn't make sense.
Shen Jingdan, squinting her eyes in the dim light, saw the figures at the door did not belong to anyone she knew. She began to plead weakly, her voice hoarse and faint:
"Help me! Untie me, I want to get out of here."
"Quickly, escape from this villa, no, no, not just the villa, escape from this resort."
"They are all mad, all of them are mad."
Shen Jingdan's talk was unclear and disorganized, then her pupils dilated. She recalled something, her expression shifting between disgust and fear. Fu Yanghui and Pan Mao exchanged glances. Seeing the young girl in such a state, they couldn't help but frown and moved forward to untie her ropes.
Of course, they had their own assurances. If it were an adult man, they wouldn't have freed him under any circumstances.
Fu Yanghui deliberately altered his voice, probing, "You're the Shen family's young lady. Why are you locked up here?"
