Every time she made the slightest movement, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were pressed against the window, looking in this direction, which scared her half to death.

Finally, light fell from above her head, and she felt someone moving and talking above her.

Eve's heartbeat accelerated. Was it the young master who came to save her?

Woohoo, she knew the young master would definitely come to save her...

Eve was in tears, raising her head and looking helplessly. Her voice came closer and closer, but it was very blurry and could not be heard clearly.

With a creak, the heavy iron door of the skylight finally opened, and Eve wanted to run up the stairs.

There were heavy shackles on her feet, and the chains were thicker than her legs, so she could only move slowly on the ground.

Her legs were bruised from long periods of inactivity, and the heavy shackles left blood marks on her tender ankles.

A tall figure bent down upstairs, followed by a guard holding a candle.

"Mr. Berk, the moss on the steps is slippery, please worry."

Eve's eyes were filled with tears. Fear, panic and hunger left her with no strength to scream.

Who is Mr. Berk? Isn’t he the young master? Or, he was sent by the young master to save her...

Qiu Shaozhe walked down the last step, and the fishy smell that hit his face made him frown tightly.

Eve, who was slumped like an animal in the middle of the dungeon, looked at him miserably, with disheveled hair and eyes swollen from crying.

"eve."

Hearing this title, Eve couldn't control her tears again.

Qiu Shaozhe squatted in front of her and reached out to brush away her messy hair: "It's me."

"Master Shaozhe, wuwu...wuwuwu..." Eve's lips were split and she cried sadly, "Are you here to let Eve out?"

Qiu Shaozhe frowned tightly and shook his head under her expectant gaze.

"Then, then... when can Eve go out..."

"have no idea."

"Then Master Shaozhe, can you help Eve, cough, cough, cough," Eve's voice was so dry and rough that her voice changed, "Help me tell the master, Eve is being held here..."

The young master asked her to wait in the office, but when the young master came back and found that she was missing, he wouldn't think that she left on her own, right?

When she was taken away, the entire company's staff went to the conference room, and no one noticed——

"He already knows."

"Young Master knows? That's great," Eve said with blood oozing from her mouth, "Young Master will definitely come to save me soon."

Qiu Shaozhe took out his handkerchief and gently pressed the wound on her lip. Only then did he remember the purpose of his visit: "Give me the thing."

The guard put down the candlestick and then put down a portable bamboo basket.

Qiu Shaozhe took out the kettle from the bamboo basket and opened the lid: "Drink some water."

"Thank you..." Eve was furious with thirst.

Fortunately, she slept most of the time in the dungeon and didn't expend too much energy. She didn't eat or drink for 2 days, but she still managed to survive.

Qiu Shaozhe held her back with one hand and fed her water considerately.

Eve was so hungry and thirsty that she wanted to drink a bottle of water, but Qiu Shaozhe took away the water glass after she took a few sips.

Eve licked her mouth and whispered, "Can I drink it all?"

"no."

Just as Eve was about to cry, Qiu Shaozhe screwed back the bottle cap and said, "You can't just drink water."

Take out the food in the basket one by one, including egg custard, lean meat porridge, egg soup...etc., all of which contain soup.
