CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 220: CONFINED IN THE VILLA

Ye Ningwan stayed outside for a while, ready to return to the small inn.

But, just as she stepped onto the street, two people suddenly surrounded her from both sides, pressing a hard object against her waist.

"Don’t move, come with us."

Ye Ningwan froze, her eyebrows furrowing tightly, and obediently followed these people.

She didn’t know what was pressed against her waist.

Based on her guess, it should probably be a gun.

Who are these people?

Why would they kidnap her?

She was disguised like this, could they still recognize her?

"Brother, who are you people? I don’t have money." Ye Ningwan could only play dumb, pitifully pleading.

But these two didn’t say a word, their grip firm and powerful.

Soon, they hustled her onto a van parked by the roadside.

It seemed they had planned and prepared in advance.

Just as they arrived, the van pulled up.

The door opened, and the two men shoved her inside.

Once inside, the door closed, and the van quickly drove off.

"Who exactly are you?" Ye Ningwan asked again.

"You don’t need to ask anything; just obediently come with us," the man said coldly.

Ye Ningwan laughed, "But in a kidnapping, shouldn’t you knock people out first? You guys aren’t very professional."

The man said, "We brought knockout drugs, but do they work on you?"

"Looks like someone familiar with me sent you, right? Let me guess who it is?" Ye Ningwan said.

Only then did the man realize she’d trapped him with her words.

He immediately said, "You don’t need to guess, you won’t figure it out."

"I haven’t said anything, how do you know I won’t guess? Let me think, Li Qingqing? Or... Zhan Hanjue?"

As Ye Ningwan spoke, she kept her eyes on the man’s expression.

She said these two names to see the man’s reaction.

Unfortunately, he was well-trained and remained indifferent upon hearing the names.

Ye Ningwan couldn’t help but frown.

Couldn’t get the information?

How disappointing.

But it doesn’t matter; if they take her, she should be able to meet the person supposedly wanting to see her.

The car drove all the way out of the city, finally arriving at a villa in the suburbs.

This should be the villa area.

Though villas were few, after several twists and turns, they finally saw a house.

The van stopped in front of the house.

The two men shoved her out of the van, taking her into the villa.

"You’ll be living here from now on," the man said.

"And the person who wants to see me?" Ye Ningwan asked.

The man said nothing.

The door was already closed; it had a fingerprint lock.

This villa was like a prison, heavily guarded.

Besides electronic security, the two men remained inside, providing human surveillance from the outside.

Ye Ningwan entered the house; there was only a middle-aged woman doing cleaning.

Seeing her come in, the woman hurried forward respectfully, calling, "Miss."

"Who are you?" Ye Ningwan asked.

The middle-aged woman replied, "Miss, my surname is Li. You can call me Mrs. Li."

"Mrs. Li? What kind of place is this?" Ye Ningwan inquired again.

Mrs. Li remained silent, seeming unable to answer.

Ye Ningwan chuckled, "What are you responsible for here then?"

This she should be able to say!

Mrs. Li answered, "I’m responsible for cleaning and Miss, your meals. If you need anything or want to eat, just tell me."

Ye Ningwan nodded, "Understood."

She knew who had brought her here.

Sure enough, seeing the dishes she liked at meal time, Ye Ningwan was even more certain of her guess.

Who else but him could know her preferences?

Moreover, who would confine her in such a lavish villa with a servant to care for her?

But what exactly did he intend?

On one hand, marrying Li Qingqing, and on the other, planning to keep her hidden away?

It’s truly laughable!

"How is she doing?"

Night fell.

Ye Ningwan had bathed early and was lying in bed asleep.

Compared to the musty small inn, the scent here was pleasant, giving her a sense of home.

After being on the move for days, she was exhausted.

Since she couldn’t do anything, she decided to rest well.

So she went to bed early, quickly falling into sleep.

When she fell asleep, a man appeared in the villa, quietly asking Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li quickly answered, "She’s doing very well, ate a bowl of rice for dinner, and quite a bit of food too. After dinner, she even had some fruit."

"How’s her mood?"

"Her mood... should be good."

Eating this much, could she have a bad mood?

The man nodded with satisfaction, "Take good care of her, agree to everything, don’t let her get angry."

"Yes."

Quickly, the man disappeared into the darkness.

Ye Ningwan woke up, stretched lazily.

It’s been the first time she’s slept this comfortably in days.

Previously she was either in a car or staying at a rundown inn.

Now, she could finally sleep in a big bed with soft blankets and sheets. The scent was great.

"Miss, you’re awake. What would you like for breakfast?"

"Anything, just prepare whatever you see fit," Ye Ningwan said.

Mrs. Li nodded.

Ye Ningwan felt like she was forgetting something, pulled open the curtains, saw the sunlight outside and the orange trees in the yard.

It was then she suddenly remembered Wangyue.

Wangyue couldn’t find her yesterday, he must have been worried.

"Mrs. Li, I need your help with something," Ye Ningwan hurried downstairs.

Mrs. Li said, "What do you need, Miss?"

"I have a friend who was with me, named Wangyue. She doesn’t know I came here. Can you help find her? If you can bring her here, that would be best; if not, at least let her know where I am so she won’t worry."

Mrs. Li said, "Okay, Miss, don’t worry. I’ll call right away."

Ye Ningwan nodded.

Mrs. Li had already prepared breakfast.

She ate while Mrs. Li made the call.

By the time she finished breakfast, Mrs. Li had completed the call.

"Don’t worry, Miss, your friend knows you’re here now. So there’s no need to worry," Mrs. Li said upon returning.

Ye Ningwan nodded, "That’s good, I’m full."

"You can go for a walk outside, the garden is open for strolling," Mrs. Li suggested.

Ye Ningwan went out for a walk.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t wear a coat when she went out.

By night, she was sick.

It started as a headache, fever, and runny nose.

Mrs. Li saw she had a cold and quickly cooked ginger soup for her.

Ye Ningwan weakly sat up in bed, telling Mrs. Li, "Ginger soup doesn’t help. I’m a doctor, I know."

"You’re feverish, you need to sweat it out," Mrs. Li said.

Ye Ningwan didn’t argue, she took the ginger soup from her and drank it.

However, instead of recovering, her condition worsened at midnight.

Mrs. Li touched her forehead and was startled by the heat.

She quickly took her temperature, it was 39.2 degrees.

For an adult, this temperature is serious, it could be life-threatening.

Mrs. Li didn’t dare delay, she rushed outside to make a call.

"Sir, Miss has a fever, 39.2 degrees. What should I do now?"

On the bed in the room, Ye Ningwan, barely conscious, forced her eyes open. Hearing Mrs. Li’s phone call, she slightly curled her lips.
