In the dimly lit basement, the nauseating stench of decay pervaded the air. Jiang Lanzhu slowly tipped the thermos bottle in her hand, allowing scalding hot water to splash onto the face of the woman crawling on the ground. Hearing her agonizing scream, Jiang Lanzhu smirked and taunted, “Miss Shen, you probably never thought that one day you would crawl at my feet like a dog. Look at you, you’re even worse than a dog.”
The scalding water splashed all over her face. Shen Jing could almost hear her skin cracking and swelling. With great effort, she raised her head and stared at the adulterous couple standing before her—Jiang Lanzhu and Liang Chengfei. They were her stepsister and fiancé, the people she once trusted so much. She had used all her connections to help them relocate to Jingcheng and secure their future. But after everything was settled, they drugged her and locked her up in this dark basement, subjecting her to daily torture, turning her into a mere ghost-like figure. She loathed them with every fiber of her being. She cursed herself for failing to see their true nature.
She wished she could devour their flesh and drink their blood!
Jiang Lanzhu savored Shen Jing’s expression of unbearable pain for a moment. Her voice was gentle but carried a thick malice as she said, “Oh, by the way, Shen Jing, you don’t know yet, do you? When your grandfather heard of your disappearance, he suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and passed away. Your uncle’s family is facing imprisonment and can’t save you either.”
Shen Jing’s face, still scalded by the hot water, twitched violently. No… her grandfather had always been healthy. How could he suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage? And what had happened to her uncle’s family… It had to be Jiang Lanzhu and Liang Chengfei. It had to be them!
“You b*tch!” Shen Jing cursed in despair. “You’ll die a horrible death!”
Jiang Lanzhu’s smug smile abruptly faded as she leaned into Liang Chengfei’s arms. “Brother-in-law, look at my sister. She had the audacity to curse me… I’m so hurt…”
“Since this mouth can’t speak, then don’t speak,” Liang Chengfei looked at Shen Jing in disgust and picked up the remaining hot water. He forcefully opened her mouth and poured all the scalding water down her throat.
Fresh blood trickled from the corner of Shen Jing’s mouth.
Jiang Lanzhu’s smile grew increasingly sinister as she uttered harsh words. “Oh dear, I just remembered that I misspoke. It’s not like there’s no one who can save you, Sister. Do you still remember Fu Linyuan? He could have saved you, but sadly, he left in anger because of you.” As she spoke, her eyes were filled with jealousy. “Sister, what do you think made Fu Linyuan fall for you? Even after divorcing you, he was willing to give you two-thirds of his family assets…”
Fu Linyuan… Tears of anguish flowed down from the corners of Shen Jing’s eyes. She had been blind and had mistaken villains for loved ones, failing to cherish those who truly cared for her.
“I heard Fu Linyuan is returning to the country. Just in case something happens, we’re here to send you off, Sister.” Jiang Lanzhu took out a syringe and smiled brightly. “Sister, your medical skills are remarkable. You should recognize this, right? After this injection, you will experience the pain of a thousand arrows piercing your heart. Your body will feel as if it’s being torn apart, and you won’t meet a peaceful death.” As she spoke, she grabbed Shen Jing’s wrist and pushed all the medicine from the syringe inside.
Intense pain engulfed Shen Jing’s body. She felt as if her brain was being assaulted by thousands of people, again and again… She couldn’t faint, she could only endure the excruciating pain until her death.
Just as Shen Jing was drifting into a daze, she thought she heard the roar of a helicopter. Simultaneously, the basement door was kicked open, and sunlight streamed in. The tall figure of a man, with an anxious stride, rushed towards her step by step.
Was it Fu Linyuan? But she had hurt him so deeply, why would he come back? Fresh blood obscured her vision. Shen Jing struggled to see the man’s figure clearly, but she couldn’t. Her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She couldn’t accept it… she was so unwilling… Jiang Lanzhu, Liang Chengfei, if there is a next life, I will ensure you meet a gruesome end!
..
“Shen Jing! You adore Liang Chengfei so much that even when you’re beneath me, you call out his name!” The man’s furious roar echoed in her ears. Shen Jing suddenly opened her eyes and met Fu Linyuan’s enraged gaze. His eyes were filled with nothing but the desire to tear her apart.
“Fu Linyuan?” Shen Jing widened her eyes in shock, her expression blank. Was she hallucinating? Why was Fu Linyuan above her? Wasn’t she dead?
Fu Linyuan could clearly see the confusion in Shen Jing’s eyes. Unable to control his anger, he grabbed her by the neck, his grip gradually tightening. Why couldn’t she even recognize the person who she was just having sex with on the bed? Or was it that while they were intimate, she had been fantasizing about Liang Chengfei?
