Chapter 269 Full of Anxiety and Sorrow
“At this moment, Little Cutie is more than 10,000 votes behind. I don’t know if I’d be able to help Little
Cutie get back more than 10,000 votes alone.”
Mo Fei pretended to be flustered as he said that.
Lu Jinye immediately yelled at Mo Fei, “You are not allowed to call her Little Cutie! Call her sister-in-
law!”
“Alright, bro. I’m on the way to save my sister-in-law, and we shall be waiting for you!”
Mo Fei hung up after he finished his words.
He lifted the corners of his lips and smiled. It was plain sailing if he had wanted to help Mu Zhi tie the
votes. He could even help Mu Zhi get the first place if she had wanted it. After all, this was just a money
game.
Both he and Lu Jinye were masters of money games, and this game was a risk-free game to them.
Plus, he was confident that as long as Mu Zhi could be saved, Lu Jinye would fork out the money to
help if he lost a lot of money.
The smile on Mo Fei’s face deepened as he thought about it!
…
Mu Zhi had started to lose hope as she looked at the numbers on the scoreboard.
There were no tears left for her to cry, even at this time of despair. There was only infinite obscurity
waiting for her.
There will be no more miracles in this place.
Just then, she suddenly realized that her votes had begun to grow at an abnormal rate.
Her votes were almost equal to the ninth place in less than half an hour.
The ninth, who had already started to be happy, suddenly became nervous and kept screeching
violently. If it hadn’t been for the iron cage that separated them from each other, she would have
chased after Mu Zhi and torn her into pieces!
Mu Zhi was surprised and started to feel a little hopeful as she watched the incredible increase of votes
above.
Was it Lu Jinye? Had Lu Jinye found her?
The first person that came to her mind was Lu Jinye.

When it struck her that all of this happened because Lu Jinye had kidnapped her, she was instantly
filled with disappointment.
Mu Zhi closed her eyes and stayed on the bed. She stopped watching the vote count.
She could only judge whether her votes had suddenly increased or decreased by the ninth’s reaction
next to her.
So she kept her eyes closed tightly.
Mo Fei watched the voting session and carefully observed the changes.
In the beginning, Mu Zhi had started to grow slowly, and she had the chance to surpass the ninth place.
As time passed rapidly, Mu Zhi was already even with the ninth place less than twenty minutes from the
end of the voting. Just as Mo Fei ordered everyone to relax and that they could vote at random, the
ninth place’s votes strangely began to increase all of a sudden.
It was apparent that the votes had been manipulated.
And it wasn’t for other reasons. The growth trend showed that the manipulator did not only want the
ninth place to surpass the eighth place. On the other hand, it seemed like he wanted to bring Mu Zhi to
the last place to send her to the lions’!
Mo Fei watched as time passed by. Suddenly, he could not contain himself anymore.
He went into the voting area. He rolled up his sleeves, watched the fast-moving scores, and quickly
calculated a series of numbers. Then he distributed these numbers to various personnel!
Those people would not get a single chance of winning if they had wanted to play number games with
him!
When Mu Zhi heard the cries of the person next to her growing, she suddenly became a little confused.
She gradually opened her eyes and glanced at the numbers on the scoreboard’s display. All of a
sudden, she began to hold her breath as well!
If she had no chances of winning, she would have given up right away and would not feel nervous.
But she was now close to the ninth place in the ranking! She could feel her heart tensed as if it was
hanging onto a thin piece of thread!
At this moment, the door opened! The voting had come to an end!
The scoreboard did not show who the winner was. The screen went dark right away.
This time was different from the past. In the past, when the screen went down, everyone would know
who was ranked last, and that was it.
However, this time, nobody knew the outcome. Everything was a mystery.
The dark screen undoubtedly held everyone on the qui vive.
A group of big men walked in and chained everyone. They tugged onto the women as if they were
loads and pulled them towards the exhibition stand in the hall.
Mu Zhi was also chained.
However, right at that moment, she suddenly heard a roar. Before she had the time to react, she heard
a woman shriek for only half a syllable. Then it was silence.
At the same time, Mu Zhi’s face had been splashed by some blood.
Only at this moment did Mu Zhi realize what happened.
She was so frightened that she quickly attempted to look back. The black cloth covering one of the
cages had already been lifted.
As soon as she turned her head, the woman who had conversed with her covered her eyes and
warned, “Don’t look back.”
When she said this, Mu Zhi knew deep down in her heart.
She had had a close call with death…
She never knew death could be so quick and quiet.
Everything was over in less than the duration of a syllable!
Mu Zhi was frightened to her bones.
She could not walk straight anymore and needed the woman’s support next to her to help her into a
room. They were all required to change into small transparent dresses. Mu Zhi didn’t even have the
strength to struggle.
She had never been in such close contact with death before. Furthermore, that woman had died
because of her.
If she hadn’t surpassed that woman’s vote count, she would have become the lions’ dinner!
The more Mu Zhi thought about it, the more frightened she felt.
She followed the crowd on stage.
The audience began to roar with excitement as the women came on stage. Continuous high-pitched
whistling could be heard as well.
However, due to the insufficient brightness, Mu Zhi and the others couldn’t see what was below the
stage, except for the dark crowd. They were like a committee of vultures sitting up to devour some
human flesh. Other than that, Mu Zhi couldn’t feel anything else.
Then, someone slowly stepped onto the stage and put a piece of black cloth over all the women’s eyes.
Right at that instant, their visions fell into darkness.
After everyone was blindfolded, a blazing spotlight was shone on stage.
But Mu Zhi and the others couldn’t see anything.
That feeling of helpless fear, mixed with the audience’s bloodthirsty roar, terrified one of the women on
the stage to tears.

Let me go! I won’t gamble anymore!”
Mu Zhi was so scared that her body shook vigorously.
She didn’t know how many pairs of eyes in the audience were staring at her.
One of them was full of anxiety and sorrow.
