"What should we do? We'll be sent away tomorrow morning. I might never see my family again."
"I don't want to die! Someone, please, save us!"
There was silence for a while before the sound of someone sobbing came.
When Grace heard it, her gaze darkened and her heart wrenched. She had never imagined that there would still be such shady things happening in today's civilized society.
Her gaze followed the sounds of the sobs.
But the next moment, she locked eyes with a pair of extremely calm eyes. It made a stark contrast with the mournful atmosphere.
The girl looked as if she were only 17 or 18 years old, but she had the calmness and intelligence of an adult.
Her face was cold and expressionless, but her eyes were fixed on Grace, as if she wanted to see right through her.
Neither of them spoke.
They remained like that for half an hour.
Then, the girl spoke, and there was a note of uncertainty in her tone. "Can you really get us out of here?"
Grace said firmly, "Trust me. I will."
Her words gave the girl hope, like salvation. But then the girl saw that she was tied up, and the light of hope was extinguished again.
Grace lowered her eyes and looked at the ropes tying her, and her mouth curled in disdain.
Those men's method of tying people up was just not up to mark.
Then, she took action, and in one smooth movement, she had untied her ropes.
Her actions were smooth and quick without any hesitation, and everyone was shocked.
"You … you untied them!"
"You're amazing."
They opened the door and scolded the women. "Do you all want to die? If you keep screaming like that, we'll send you all to hell."
"She's about to die … save her …" one of the women said.
The men saw that someone had fainted on the floor and hurriedly went up to check on her.
But in the next second, Grace hit the back of one man's head hard from behind with a stick.
The man fell to the ground at once.
"Hurry, run!"
When the women saw this, they had no time to think of anything else. All of them rushed for the door as if they had gone mad.
But they hadn't gone far before they were surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards.
"How dare you escape? Don't any of you want to live? Do you want to taste the strength of our whip?"
