A cold dread settled over her. She had a sinking feeling that this was the end for her.
Would she be killed now and her body thrown into the sea? The thought made her shudder.
"You have brought this upon yourself, Xia Mengrui." Yang Lingyun began to drag her towards the exit.
Xia Mengrui's mind raced. She had to think of something, anything, to save herself. "Please, Lingyun dage, I was wrong," she begged, her voice breaking. "I won't hurt her. I swear. Just let me go..."
"Your words mean nothing to me anymore, Xia Mengrui. Actions have consequences. You will face yours tonight."
With that, he pulled her firmly, making his way through the crowd that barely noticed the drama as they were busy with chugging down drinks.
Each step felt like a nail being driven into her coffin.
