On that humid summer night six years ago, Su Xia crawled out from under the barbed wire fence and stole three thousand US dollars and a secret, thinking she had escaped.
In six years, she married the gentle lawyer Qiu Yuchen and gave birth to her daughter Qiu Nian. On a summer evening, a family of three took a walk eating ice cream. The husband's hands were warm and the daughter's laughter was crisp.
She thought this was the legendary "happy and happy" ending, and those nightmares really rotted away over time.
Until this day.
The company was acquired without any warning, and my daughter, who never went for physical examinations at school, had her blood drawn for no apparent reason. She raised her little face and proudly said, "I didn't even cry."
These two things were like two cold hands, pulling her back to the summer of six years ago when cicadas were chirping noisily.
The moment the conference room door opened, her pen fell on the carpet.
The man standing in the backlight was wearing a black shirt, tapping his fingers on the table, and his voice was as low as that rainy night six years ago: "Miss Su, I've seen you for a long time."
The warmer her husband's embrace, the more afraid she was of being dragged back to that cold cage. The brighter her daughter's smile, the more afraid she is that the secret hidden in her blood will be exposed.
She escaped once six years ago and thought she had flown out of her cage.
Six years later, she discovered that the cage called Xia Ye had been with her since the day she escaped and had never really been opened.
And outside the cage, stood the hunter who had never given up hunting.
