e she lost consciousness: a man gently biting her earlobe, his words seeping into her mind."Lin Jinran, give me a child."ChildHer fair, slender fingers instinctively pressed against her flat stomach....On the other side, after Lin Shan'er's gun theft last time, the bodyguard was on high alert to prevent her from playing any tricks, and kept a distance from her.

After Lin Shanshan's gun threat last time, everyone except the bodyguards was too scared to get near the basement.

But Lin Shan'er always intentionally evaded, acting as a bodyguard who delivered meals and water to Lin Jinran.

As a result, Lin Jinran was left in the basement, forgotten by everyone. She struggled to survive on the remaining half bottle of water.

There were always shards of a bowl at hand, ready to be used for self-defense should anyone come in.

But with no water, no food, and his wounds aching all over, coupled with the oppressive darkness, Lin Jinfan had fallen unconscious countless times, only to wake up again from the darkness.

Lying on the ground, he stared blankly at the only light source from the iron gate. Lin Jinran's face was pale, and his lips, cracked and dry, moved slightly.

The man who brought him food and water said he wouldn't take her life, but now it was clear he wanted her dead!

The woman who tormented her and the man who brought her food and water didn't seem to be from the same group.

Lin Jinran decided to take a gamble. Waiting any longer would surely mean his death.

With a strenuous roll, Lin Jinran pushed himself up and sat up, feeling dizzy and nauseous.

Gasping for breath with her mouth wide open, she weakly raised her hand to support her heavy body, pushing herself up from the chair little by little. She didn't even forget to pick up the shard of the bowl.

Lin Jin yan's steps faltered as he walked towards the iron gate, swaying precariously as if about to fall at any moment.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, she reached the locked iron gate. Her scarred hands grasped the cold metal, and with a barely audible voice, she called out to those outside, "Is anyone there Is anyone there Please come!"

He shouted several times, but there was no response from outside.

Lin Jin was too weak to stand and leaned against the iron gate, resting her head against the wall. Her large eyes, dull with despair, stared out at the light beyond.

She hadn't seen the sun in days, something that was usually commonplace, but now felt precious.

Is this really where I die

Lin Jinran was unwilling, utterly unwilling.

She can't die, at least not until she finds out the truth about her mother's death!

A powerful resolve surged through him once more, and with the last of his strength, he croaked out, "Help! Is anyone there Help!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, "thump, thump, thump." Rapid footsteps approached, and two figures appeared in the light without coming closer to the iron gate.

Lin Jinran, as if seeing a savior, grasped the iron gate with one hand and weakly said, "Tell her, I want to see her. I want to see her."

Two figures standing at the door froze for a moment, two hushed murmurs reaching Lin Jinyan's ears.

"If she keeps this up, she might actually die."

Miss Lin doesn't let us get close, don't cause trouble.

"We'll also keep our distance and let Miss Lin know the situation here."

"I won't go."

"Well, then I'll go."

"Hey, don't tell Miss Lin. Just let Zhang the bodyguard know."

"Alright."

After the two maids murmured at the door, one of them turned and left.

Another one stretched its neck to look at Lin Jinran, who was paralyzed inside the iron gate. It shook its head and then cautiously looked around, making sure no one noticed this place. Then it quickly turned and left.

Lin Jinyan, leaning against the wall, keenly caught the key points in the two people's conversation.

Miss Lin, are you referring to the woman who tormented hern aback, and turned to look at Ye Xiao who was gradually walking away, quite unexpectedly.According to Ye Shao's meaning, his trip to Nanjiang wasn't primarily about finding Lin Shaner.Indeed, all thi...
