People freeze when they encounter the unexpected.
And having a dog chain suddenly fastened around his neck by a woman was undoubtedly something that would make anyone freeze.
It was precisely in that moment of stunned hesitation that the force on his neck yanked him forward, nearly causing him to faceplant onto the carpet.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll lock you in the basement and electrocute you until you do. Anyway, the outside world already thinks you just committed suicide.”
The Young Lady’s icy voice made Su Ziyan recognize a reality.
That was, the woman before him was a kidnapper. He, as the kidnapped, had no right to negotiate terms with his captor in the first place.
Shi Lingge’s sincere advice to him just moments ago had momentarily made him forget that he was actually the one who had been kidnapped.
As a result, he immediately received the karmic retribution for getting carried away.
He was sweating bullets.
The next moment, he felt a weight on his shoulder—the other party had actually stepped directly onto his shoulder.
Su Ziyan, supporting himself on his hands, instinctively reached out and grabbed her ankle.
The stocking-clad ankle felt quite nice in his hand, but Su Ziyan didn’t have a single lascivious thought.
The Young Lady, whose ankle he had grabbed, trembled slightly, likely unaccustomed to the warm sensation of Su Ziyan’s hand.
“Su Ziyan, I hope you understand the reality. Right now, you are the one who has been kidnapped.”
However, this slight tremor didn’t stop the Young Lady from delivering harsh words in a cold voice.
“If I say you’re a dog, then you’re a dog. You have no room for rebuttal.”
Listening to the cold voice coming from above his head, Su Ziyan couldn’t help but inwardly laugh bitterly.
This Shi Lingge had really fooled him badly. Where exactly was this Young Lady gentle?
Could it be that over these past two years, she had already been… trained by this wicked Young Lady?
Su Ziyan suddenly felt he had discovered the truth.
Shi Lingge said she had the same experience as him.
So, the reason she felt so positively towards this so-called Young Lady now was probably because she had been…
Thinking this far, Su Ziyan couldn’t help but shudder.
This Young Lady was a genuine, bona fide pervert!
She had captured Shi Lingge when she was sixteen, then wouldn’t let her go Home, fastened a Dog Chain around her neck, locked her in the Basement, and electrocuted her until she was willing to obey.
No wonder she was so gentle with him just now.
She already knew what he was about to go through.
Her concern was purely out of pity for him!
And that sense of reassurance wasn’t because of her or anything; it was simply because he was about to share the same fate.
And that feeling he had, the illusion that he was developing Stockholm Syndrome… that wasn’t an illusion either.
It was just that the one with Stockholm Syndrome wasn’t him.
It was Shi Lingge, who pitied and looked after him in her heart while being unable to resist the Young Lady…
Just like that, in an instant, Su Ziyan felt he understood the whole sequence of events.
He was just about to think of a countermeasure when a hand lifted his chin, forcing him to look up.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Have you already accepted it by default?”
The Young Lady gently stroked Su Ziyan’s chin with her finger.
“Then call me ‘Master.'”
“Uh…”
Su Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Is there anyone else in this room?”
The Young Lady was taken aback by Su Ziyan’s question, then laughed.
“No, why? Are you embarrassed?”
Hearing her answer, Su Ziyan’s whole body trembled.
This made the Young Lady’s voice take on a playful note.
“I didn’t expect that. You’re quite the shy little puppy.”
What she wouldn’t imagine was that, upon hearing there was no one else in the room, Su Ziyan almost instinctively planned to pounce on her, subdue her, and then find a way to escape or get someone to let him go.
But he tried his best to suppress that thought, because it had formed so suddenly.
Almost the next instant, he spotted the flaw in his idea.
That was, leaving aside whether a blind man like him could subdue her, even if he did, could he really escape?
Probably not.
After all, even if he subdued her, she could easily trick him into running in circles.
Someone could even sneak up behind him and knock him out, and he might not even sense it…
And she had already captured one Shi Lingge.
She was clearly an experienced kidnapper and had likely made ample preparations.
If he resisted, he’d probably really be thrown into the Basement to get electrocuted.
What kind of benevolent soul would a kidnapper be, after all?
Thus, he had no choice but to abandon his idea and open his mouth to say, “Yes, Master.”
“Oh, you’ve accepted reality so quickly?”
The Young Lady seemed not to have expected him to change his tune so fast.
“It seems you understand the principle that ‘the wise submit to circumstances,’ hmm?”
“Ah…”
Seeing this, Su Ziyan couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
It seemed he at least wouldn’t be electrocuted for now.
“After all, I actually feel what you said is right, Young Lady. I originally intended to escape my former life. So, starting a new life here isn’t necessarily bad.”
The first half was indeed the truth.
Su Ziyan felt he didn’t necessarily have to die.
Starting a new life was a great thing too.
This way, it wasn’t impossible to stay a bit further away from Xu Duyan.
After all, he felt the current Xu Duyan was becoming excessively morbid.
Keeping some distance would be good for both of them.
Of course, while there were many paths to starting a new life, being a dog in this Young Lady’s Home was definitely not one of them.
His current compliance was undoubtedly creating an opportunity for his future escape.
If he left her with the impression of being a troublemaker and was really locked in the Basement to be electrocuted, his chances of escaping would undoubtedly plummet.
So, temporary forbearance was all for the sake of finding a way to escape this cage.
But the next moment, the ankle in his hand slipped free, and a foot kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him tumbling over.
Su Ziyan fell onto his back, his back hitting the Living Room sofa.
Fortunately, the entire sofa was soft.
If it had been one with solid wooden armrests, it would have hurt a lot more.
Then, her stocking-clad foot stepped onto his chest.
“Do you think I look that stupid?”
The Young Lady’s voice grew even colder, but then she laughed, shifting her tone.
“How about this? First, lick my foot to show your loyalty?”
Feeling her forcefully grinding her foot against his chest, Su Ziyan managed to force out a faint Smile, but for a moment, he couldn’t decide whether to agree or refuse.
He wasn’t some foot fetishist, for goodness’ sake!
But considering his current situation, Su Ziyan decided to grit his teeth and agree.
Unexpectedly, the Young Lady who was stepping on him withdrew her foot for some reason.
