But before she could make a sound, a rough, strong hand clamped over her mouth.
"Don't make a sound. If you dare make the slightest noise, I'll kill you. Understand?"

"Good. Then let me ask you something."
Xu Yunfan kept his voice suppressed, his tone so low it seemed to crawl out of the darkness.
"Where is the Hu Family's treasury?"
The little maid didn't dare hesitate for a second. Trembling, she quickly pointed in a direction.
