A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Xia Ling did not make this call for no reason.

Soon after she put down her phone, she received Li Lei’s call. “The location has been cracked. Shaohui is in a certain place on the high seas of the South Pacific Ocean. The sea is vast and there is no cover. If we dispatch a rescue helicopter, it will be too obvious. We have to think of another way.”

Xia Ling was very uneasy.

Although she already guessed that there was a high chance that Shaohui was kidnapped in a foreign country, when the truth was finally revealed to her, she was really frightened. Not many laws governed the high seas, and no order was in place. Anything terrible could happen.

She asked Li Lei, “Who are the people who are looking after Shaohui? Are they from the Li Family?”

Li Lei said, “No. The investigation results show that it’s a master-slave syndicate with a huge military and political support. They sail the high seas all year round like ghosts. People call it the ‘Blissful Paradise.”’

Blissful Paradise…

Xia Ling held her breath and her face became pale.

She heard of this syndicate before. To be exact, she joined it before as a slave.

In her past life, Pei Ziheng brought her to a conference hall by Blissful Paradise for professional tests. That was one of her deepest nightmares, and until now, she trembled at the thought of it.

She knew how cruel that place was.

“We must save Shaohui right away!” She could not wait a moment longer.

Li Lei sighed. “The best way is to sneak in. Blissful Paradise has a membership system, and only the most supreme black card members can get on the high sea ship. I will find a way to get access.”

“You?” Xia Ling asked, “Only you?”

Li Lei spoke very slowly. “Xiao Ling, I’ve inquired about the membership system there, and the person who submits the membership application must have great interest and prowess in S&M. The person also has to… perform in front of the interviewers.”

He tried to be vague.

Xia Ling understood what he meant. To enter, one had to be a sadist or a masochist.

There was no other way.

Her body began to shake uncontrollably. She understood why Li Lei did not want her to participate. He knew what she had encountered in her past life. If she returned to her nightmare, he was worried that she would collapse.

“How do you plan on joining?” She asked a difficult question.

Li Lei already thought about it. “I’ve sent people to look for a master in this area to teach me how to be a sadist. I will also look for a masochist to perform with so that we can get past the membership interview.”

Xia Ling shook her head. Her voice was very soft. “There won’t be enough time.”

Li Lei asked, “Why not?”

She looked out of the window. In the distant night sky, the crescent moon was like a hook. She felt the icy cold breeze of the late autumn night. She said, “This city is so small, and people who have this fetish… are very limited. The community is too small. Who doesn’t know one another? If you rush to hire people, it will be suspicious.”

Her eyebrows frowned as she looked out the window at the villa not far away next door.

Nearby in that house lived a senior member of Blissful Paradise, Pei Ziheng. If he received a little bit of the news, who knew what would happen?

She took two steps back and her body disappeared in the darkness.

At the end of the phone, Li Lei also thought about it for a moment. “Perhaps you are right. So far, my people haven’t found a suitable master.” It was very easy to find an ordinary sadist. Blissful Paradise had beginner services that catered to those who just joined this interest group, but these beginners were unable to get a Supreme Black Card which was only available to real masters.

That meant that only real masters could get on that ship.

“Furthermore, you won’t be able to find a suitable… slave.” She said the words with difficulty and closed her eyes as she recalled the conversation she overheard when she was brought to the terrifying club by Pei Ziheng. From the conversation of those members, she learned that slaves who qualified for the Supreme Black Card were fewer than those who qualified to be submissive members. They also had fixed masters who could not be found easily.

In her mind, a plan gradually surfaced.

Her body trembled even more.

Li Lei stayed silent, and she also did not speak.

She faced a dilemma. She fought with the fear of her past and her maternal instinct, which was the desire to save her child.

“Xiao Ling, you can’t go.”

“Li Lei, I will go with you.”

After a long time, both of them spoke at the same time.

Li Lei was taken aback and became anxious. “Xiao Ling, you can’t!” He knew that this nightmare had tormented her for a long time before she finally overcame it. How could she go back?

However, she said, “Li Lei, you can’t find anyone. There’s only me.”

If there was really another way, she wouldn’t be willing to re-enter this nightmare.

However, after experiencing so much, she knew clearer than everyone else that Li Lei would not be able to find a suitable person in a short amount of time. In other words, he would also not be able to become a master with such short notice. Furthermore, Li Lei still had to mix around with the Supreme Black Card members and take a huge risk to save someone.

“I will tell you how to become a highly skilled master.” Her voice was as light as a feather. She almost couldn’t stand straight and was leaning her back against a rough wall. “As for me… I’m already a very good slave.”

Some wounds were already deeply imprinted on her soul.

Even though she was in another life, she knew how to please and fawn on her “master.”

Pei Ziheng had already destroyed her. Now, she was a building that was reconstructed from the ruins of her soul and was extremely fragile. If it were gently pushed down, it would reveal the darkness and filth buried in her past.

She would rather experience it again than let Shaohui become like her.

She made a list for Li Lei. “Prepare these things and a secret venue.”

Even though Li Lei was unwilling, his subordinates didn’t get any results just like Xia Ling predicted. He couldn’t even find a senior master to be his teacher, so he had no choice but to agree with Xia Ling’s plan.

Xia Ling changed into a casual shirt, put on light makeup, and left with her manager and assistant.

The news reported that she went to the mountains for a shoot and would only return in a month.

After seeing the news, Old Master Li was very satisfied. He felt that this girl’s life was hard, but she was becoming obedient since she left the city to avoid his grandson.

However, he didn’t know that she assigned Lin Yunan and her assistant to a secret base to create the illusion of her being on a filming job. On the other hand, she made a huge detour and rushed to meet with Li Lei.
