Chapter 1691: Chapter 1690: Living Here for Twenty Years
The woman seemed unclear about everything outside. She looked stunned, "Has this place been abandoned for twenty years already?"
"That’s right."
"So, everything was really destroyed back then. Is the Ansheng Group no longer in existence?" The woman asked with a bit of hope.
For some reason, Mou Xiao, who usually didn’t like to talk, was willing to answer anything in front of her.
"No, the Ansheng Group still exists."
"Still exists?" The woman was momentarily stunned again, "Who is the owner now?"
"It’s said to be a kid called Jiang Huang."
The woman was shocked, then felt a bit wistful, "It’s him... he’s grown up."
"You haven’t answered me yet. Why are you here?" Mou Xiao continued to ask persistently, feeling inexplicably curious about this woman.
"Me?" The woman seemed to be lost in some memory, "A lot happened back then. I hid here, otherwise, I wouldn’t be alive."
"Hid?"
"Yes, I helped outsiders deal with the Ansheng Group. They wouldn’t let me go," the woman replied.
Mou Xiao was somewhat surprised. She was actually a traitor. No, it wasn’t appropriate to describe her as a traitor.
"Why, weren’t you part of Ansheng Group?"
The woman said calmly, "But this place is hell, and its existence only harms more people. I won’t be an accomplice to evil. Besides, coming here was not my intention. I was captured and brought here."
"Captured?"
"Yes, that was many years ago. I’ve almost forgotten it all... How did you get in? Hardly anyone can find this place. The only ones who knew these places were me and the former owner of Ansheng Group. I thought no one would ever come in here."
It was then that Mou Xiao understood; she had been trapped here.
He glanced around, unable to imagine what it was like for a woman to live alone here in solitude for twenty years.
For some reason, he felt a bit of sympathy for her.
"I entered by accidentally triggering the switch. How do you get out of here?"
"I don’t know either..." Otherwise, she would have left long ago, "After coming in, I never went out again."
"You’ve been living here for twenty years? What do you eat, what do you use?"
"Everything is here... enough for me to live a lifetime. It was his plan to imprison me completely, so everything is here."
"Him?" Mou Xiao frowned, feeling somewhat displeased at the mention of the word ’imprisonment.’
The woman before him, although no longer young, actually hadn’t changed much in appearance and still looked youthful. She could even be described as beautiful, with an ethereal quality to her.
Her beauty makes one reluctant to tarnish or harm her.
Yet, someone wanted to imprison her!
And in such a cold underground laboratory.
The air around Mou Xiao turned somewhat cold.
The woman seemed to sense his change and asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Who wanted to imprison you?" Mou Xiao asked coldly.
The woman hesitated for a moment before answering, "He should be dead by now."
"The former owner of the Ansheng Group?" It had to be him; only he could have built such a large place to imprison a woman.
The woman neither denied nor confirmed, which in itself was an admission.
Mou Xiao said coldly, "He better be dead."
Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind sending him on his way!
Perhaps she hadn’t expected such a reaction from him, and the woman was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond.
