"Where is Sheng Ning?" Li Xia squatted down and yanked Aunt Wu's hair. "Speak, or I'll gouge out your eyes first."
"I... I don't know!" Aunt Wu spat fiercely at Li Xia, "Even if I die, I won't say a word." She was a maid in the President's household and knew the integrity a comrade should have. She would never betray a rescue comrade.
"Hmph! Who would have thought a cooking and cleaning maid could have such backbone." Li Xia pulled out a curved knife unique to the Southern Border from her leg and stabbed it fiercely into Aunt Wu's thigh.
"Ahhh..." The searing pain made Aunt Wu scream, heart-wrenching. Hiding behind the door, Sheng Ning tightly covered her mouth. If it weren't for the child in her belly, she would have rushed out long ago.
Because of the child, because of the bond, she had lost her former fierceness. She couldn't die. What would happen to the child if she died? What about the Living Yama?
