der the moonlight, she immediately realized she had been deceived. 。“You lied to me!” Hou Shao stared at him with red eyes, his anger blazing. 。Gu Liechen innocently asked, "What did I deceive you ab...“Wake up, wake up,” a voice devoid of emotion, rough and coarse, echoed in the silent basement.

Each sound pierced Lin Jinyan's ears as she lay unconscious, her closed eyelids fluttering slightly.

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her wound, as if someone had deliberately touched it, forcing her to wake up quickly.

Lin Jinran couldn't help but wrinkle his brow in discomfort, his dry lips letting out a low groan as he slowly opened his eyelids.

Her vision gradually sharpened from blurry to clear, and she looked up to see the person in front of her.

It wasn't a woman who abused her, but a man with a square face. He was holding a cup of water and, seeing that she had woken up, he didn't say a word before putting it to her lips, "Drink."

Lin Jinran glanced at him, her gaze falling to the cup in his hand. She wasn't sure what was inside, so she averted her eyes and licked her dry lips.

"This is water," the bodyguard said, handing the cup to Lin Jinran's lips. "Don't make me pour it down your throat."

Lin Jinran raised her eyes to look at him, and pursed her lips again.

Well, if a man wants to force himself on her, she wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

Lin Jinran leaned forward slightly, her teeth biting into the cup as she took a slow sip.

The cool water moistened her parched lips and soothed the discomfort of thirst.

The bodyguard retracted his hand as the man finished drinking the last drop of water, staining the cup with a myriad of colors from the sunset. He placed the cup on a nearby table.

Lin Jinran silently watched him, vaguely feeling that he and the woman who abused her seemed not to be on the same side. She couldn't help asking, "What are you really trying to do"

The bodyguard looked at Lin Jinyan, whose eyes were bright but whose face was swollen and unrecognizable, sighing that Lin Shan'er's heart was ruthless and needed no less of them.

He wouldn't take your life. He didn't say any extra words, nor did he need to tell the captured Lin Jinfan.

The bodyguard went around Lin Jinran who was covered in the scent of autumn leaves, bent down and loosened the ropes binding her, then left without another word, turning away from the basement without a shred of fear that Lin Jinran would escape.

Lin Jinran leaned against the chair, her arms hanging down, weakly watching the bodyguard leave.

She tried to stand up, leaning forward, but her legs were completely powerless. She fell to the ground with a thud, kneeling "thump".

Every wound on his body ached, causing Lin Jin to sweat profusely. His body involuntarily arched into the shape of a shrimp.

Tears swirled in her eye sockets, Lin Jinran gritted her teeth, forcing herself to hold them back.

As long as she could stay alive, she could endure any torture the women inflicted upon her.

She can't die here, she has so much left to do.

Unfazed by the grime and the coldness of the ground, exhaustion once again washed over Lin Jinran. He slowly closed his eyes, powerless to resist as he fainted once more.

Before falling asleep, she vaguely felt someone calling her name.

"The forest is ablaze!"

The man in the leather chair abruptly opened his eyes, a stern look etched on his face. His chest heaved rapidly, still affected by the nightmare he had just woken from.

The surroundings gradually became clear, it was in his office.

Just now, he had a dream that Lin Jinran said goodbye to him forever!

No, this is just a dream!

The Night Owl raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and his shirt was also damp with nightmare sweat, sticking uncomfortably to his body.

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Xiao frowned and said coldly, "Come in."

The slightly ajar door creaked open, and a bodyguard in black strode in. "Young Master Ye."

The night owl glared at him with a cold expression, "How could you not wake me up"

The bodyguard didn't dare to look Night Owl in the eye, and replied with his head bowed, "Night Young Master, finding Miss Lin is important, but you must also take care of your health."

Since learning of Lin Jinyan's disappearance, they had witnessed Ye Xiao practically sleepless for almost twenty-four hours, constantly sending people to search and waiting for news.

I must have been extremely tired, I fell asleep in my chair just now.

As subordinates, they were more concerned about Ye Xiao's situation than finding Lin Jinran. the child was a molar pregnancy. He couldn't stay, and he couldn't be born, so in the end, I could only have him aborted." 。At this point, Shao's eyes welled up with tears, as if he had once again ri...
