Zhou Jingren followed Qin Chuan towards the basement of the mansion, where he opened a secret door connected to his wine cellar. Zhou Jingren expected to see an unlit corridor with a stench of blood and rust, basically a place where one could see Tang Lingyun and Qi Xia being gagged and in chains.

Well, what he saw is the exact opposite of that. It was a hall — a white one. Clean and it smelt fresh and surprisingly warm. He eyed the man walking in front of him, who was now humming a tune that Zhou Jingren was not very familiar with. It seems that he had failed to understand Qin Chuan’s character. Still, this would not affect his initial opinions about the man.

The two continued walking until they reached a dead end that revealed another door. Zhou Jingren could not help but wonder how big this place was. Qin Chuan used his fingerprint to open this door and walked inside.

"We’re here." Qin Chuan said. He immediately noticed that amusement in Qin Chuan’s voice. "That room is where Tang Lingyun was held. She is still alive, of course. But I would not advise you to see her up close. She might bite you or something. And that—That is where Qi Xia is being held. I drugged him. So... he won’t be able to regain consciousness for at least forty-eight hours? And when he wakes up.... He will be groggy, hungry, and thirsty."

"You’re starving them?"

"What? Of course... not." Qin Chuan beamed, his chin raised as if he was extremely proud of himself. "That would be too cruel. I give Tang Lingyun food... just not every day. Of course, that will eventually happen to Qi Xia too."

"And Zhou Huifang?" This actually made Zhou Jingren very curious. Surely, Tang Lingyun must have told this man that Zhou Huifang was working with Qi Xia.

"Nothing." Qin Chuan turned towards Zhou Jingren before he laughed out loud, seemingly amused by his own words. "He will die from his anxiety. What is more mentally exhausting than not knowing when your enemy will retaliate against you?"

"So you are planning to terrorize him for life?"

"I am planning to send him Qi Xia’s limbs... one by one." Qin Chuan shifted his gaze towards Qi Xia’s room. "Slowly... and surely... and slowly... but surely." His voice was low, it was almost like an ominous growl. "It will be fun."

Zhou Jingren nodded before sighing inwardly. Does he like this man? No. The answer was pretty obvious.

Does he approve of his wicked methods? Well... it seems obvious that this man was indeed Lily’s father. And yes, he approved of his methods this time. "But what if... the person behind them retaliates?" he asked.

"Oh? You think... I will stop here?" Qin Chuan sneered. Zhou Jingren did not answer him, instead, he chuckled.

"I remember the time when you visited me in my office before. You were against blood back then."

"People change. Cowards change.��� Qin Chuan answered, his hands shoved in his pockets. "Even losers like me change."

Zhou Jingren gave a nod of approval before he walked towards Tang Lingyun’s door to peek at her current state. As there was a small rectangular glass on the door, it is easier for Zhou Jingren to see her without really opening the door. When he saw Tang Lingyun... he immediately understood why Qin Chuan used this glass when he could just remove it and use bars made of iron.

Inside was an extremely bright room with mirrors on its ceiling and walls. This made the room even brighter. Tang Lingyun was in the middle of the room, strapped to the bed with an IV in her arm. A way to make sure that she would not die from malnutrition. "She can’t move?" It was a silly question. The yellowish liquid on the floor mixed with brownish excrement was enough to answer his question.

"No. She had a little... accident." Qin Chuan chuckled. "I removed the mask on her face. Now... she can see her face all the time."

Zhou Jingren nodded. What a cruel method to torture someone. "I am surprised that she is still sane."

"Not anymore, no." Qin Chuan shrugged. "Oh well... she made her bed so... she should lie on it." This was what Zhou Jingren had told him when Lily cut him off because of his foolishness. Just like Tang Lingyun, he was also facing the consequences of his actions.

Zhou Jingren turned his head away. To be honest, seeing Tang Lingyun like this made him ecstatic inside. He remembered how Lily refused to do something about this woman before, and he couldn’t just defy her wishes. After all, she was still his boss.

So seeing her like this was extremely satisfying to him. Tang Lingyun made Lily suffer. What she did was completely unforgivable. "Keep her alive as long as you can." He uttered.

"Of course, I will." He smiled. For years, this woman made Bec and Lily suffer. Now that he finally had her in his hands, he would not let this opportunity go. He would make Tang Lingyun regret ever knowing Bec and Lily and even him. He chuckled as he thought of the rats he had been starving for a while now. Once they are ready, it would be best to put Tang Lingyun’s hand’s in a box full of those rats. Then he would give her a lot of pain relievers, let her heal, and he would start the process again.

Again and again and again... he will watch the woman suffer.

After a couple of minutes, the two decided to leave and continue talking to his study. "How is she?" Qin Chuan asked. He might be completely insane, but when it came to Lily, his demeanor instantly softened. Of course, he knew that it was already too late for him to start a relationship with her anew.

After all the crazy things that he did to hurt her, Qin Chuan knew that some things were just irreparable — just like their non-existent relationship.

"She’s doing good. She is happy."

"Of course... she is. After all... she has you and Yuanfeng. She has people who sincerely love her." He smiled, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
