Upon hearing that, combined with her poorly concealed voice, Shen Xi immediately identified who the woman was.
Lu Yushan!
She hadn't even had a chance to settle accounts with her yet, and this woman had come to her first.
And the woman standing beside her, she knew who it was without even thinking.
Lu Yushan had only been back for a few days, and they were already together again. Truly birds of a feather, flocking together.
Fortunately, she had transferred the children to a different school in advance, otherwise, she might have been the one tied up and brought here today.
"Who are you?" Shen Xi looked at her with icy eyes, forcing out three words with great difficulty.
Lu Yushan chuckled softly, "You don't need to know who I am. Just answer my questions."
"You... how can I answer like this?" Shen Xi said, enduring the pain and staring at her.
Releasing her, Lu Yushan took a step back. "I advise you to tell the truth, or you won't be leaving here."
"What is your relationship with Yin Xi, and why are you asking about her?" Shen Xi, unfazed by her words, looked at her calmly.
She desperately wanted to hear more information and conspiracies from this woman about that year.
But Lu Yushan was wary and did not answer her. "It seems you do know her. Speak quickly, my patience is limited."
"I do know some things about her, but my hands hurt terribly. You must untie me, or I won't say a single word." Shen Xi looked at them stubbornly.
At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly strode forward, holding a gleaming small knife and waving it before Shen Xi's eyes.
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you don't tell the truth, be careful I don't leave a few cuts on your face."
Shen Xi showed no fear. She closed her eyes lightly, tilted her head up, and said, "Then do it."
She was betting that Lu Yushan wanted the truth and would not allow Liu Ying to do this.
As expected, in the next second, Lu Yushan spoke, "Wait, untie her hands."
"Yu... you can't do this. Don't forget how cunning she is," Liu Ying said in a low voice, stepping back.
A sinister smile curved Lu Yushan's lips. "It's fine. All our people are outside. Where can she run?"
Seeing her say this, Liu Ying had no choice but to walk over and untie the ropes from Shen Xi's hands.
After untying them, she instinctively stepped back, fearing Shen Xi might do something to harm her.
Shen Xi calmly stood up from the ground, a smile playing on her lips. "Am I that scary? There are two of you. Are you afraid of me?"
"Less nonsense, speak quickly," Lu Yushan said impatiently.
Shen Xi lowered her head in thought, knowing that even though she was untied now, with her own strength, escaping from here would still be difficult.
Her phone and the blue-and-white porcelain vase had been confiscated by the men in black. The only thing she could do was to stall for time, waiting for Jian Fan to arrive so they could coordinate and escape together.
"Did you see my children? What made you conclude they were related to Yin Xi?" Shen Xi suddenly looked at Lu Yushan with curiosity, chatting with her calmly.
Lu Yushan sneered, "They look very much like Yin Xi. Anyone who knows her can tell."
"It seems you were quite familiar with Yin Xi before? I heard her say she had a very good friend here, couldn't it be you?" Shen Xi asked with a smile.
"What exactly is your relationship with her?" Lu Yushan suddenly looked at her suspiciously, feeling she had said something wrong.
How could she mention seeing Shen Xi? Wouldn't that arouse her suspicion?
Shen Xi placed her hands behind her back and slowly moved towards her leather bag.
"I am her friend too."
"Friend? Then where is she now?" Lu Yushan looked at her in astonishment.
She said she was Yin Xi's friend, so why did she bring back Yin Xi's three children?
Where was Yin Xi herself?
How much did she know about what happened back then?
"Don't listen to her babbling anymore," Liu Ying said with an irritated expression, raising the dagger in her hand and throwing it at Shen Xi. "Speak quickly, where is that woman?"
Shen Xi reached for the bag on the ground, turned, and the blade cut a long gash on her shoulder.
She turned back and, with accurate precision, plunged a needle into her wrist.
