  "No! No! Tong, Tong!" The heart-wrenching cries pierced the night that should have been quiet, and the mournful wails that seemed to weep blood echoed through the rainy night, making it all the more terrifying.

  The dim light shone down, illuminating the woman's somewhat pale face, which was now wet with tears. Her hair was disheveled and scattered, making her look even more disheveled, yet adding a few touches of poignant beauty to her.

  At this time, her clothes had been torn in many places, the exposed skin was pale in the rain, and the dim light made it impossible to see clearly the blood mixed with rainwater on the ground, but the bloody smell in the air was so strong, as if witnessing the occurrence of evil.

  Across from the woman, a completely naked woman lay weakly on the ground, her head tilted with a pale smile on her face. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, one might have thought she was already dead.

  The naked body was covered with various bruises, and the wrists and ankles had marks of being tied up. The skin was torn, looking especially pitiful.

  Behind her, several men who were violent continued their crazy behavior.

  Cheng Zihan didn't know why the tragedy happened to her, nor did she understand why they were so cruel, targeting two helpless girls with no power to fight back. However, watching her best friend's eyes gradually lose their luster and her life slowly slip away under the brutal treatment of several men, Cheng Zihan still felt a numbness in her heart that made it hard for her to breathe.

  The sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, from far to near. As the footsteps approached, a sweet fragrance wafted into Cheng Zihan's nostrils.

  The familiar flavor made her whole body shake, and she turned around to look at the figure walking slowly towards her with a lamp on his back, the dim light stretching out her shadow very long, and that big wavy hair under the reflection of the light, casting a scene like a ferocious devil.

  Finally, the owner of the footsteps stood in front of Cheng Zihan and slowly squatted down, stretching out her slender white fingers to gently lift up Cheng Zihan's chin. Her slightly raised mouth seemed to be mocking something as she coldly stared at Cheng Zihan, as if looking at a dying ant struggling in vain. "How about it, Cheng Zihan? I told you before, my man is not someone you can casually mess with. You didn't listen and now do you know your mistake?"

  The newcomer is none other than Qin Jing, the darling of Qin Hongwei, the mayor of Nan City.

  However, for Qin Jing's accusation, Cheng Zihan was at a loss.

  How did she know who Qin Jing's man was? What is there to talk about?

  "Qin Jing, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't flirt with your man...” Suddenly, the words that were on the tip of Cheng Zihan's tongue came to an abrupt halt. She seemed to have suddenly realized something. Could it be that the man Qin Jing was referring to was actually her own boyfriend of three years, Zhou Ziran?

  Seeing Cheng Zihan's expression, Qin Jing's cruel smile deepened a few more degrees. She slowly stood up, patted her hands, as if she had just touched something dirty, and slowly said: "How? Remembered? Do you know who my man is?"

  Cheng Zihan's face turned even paler, her pale lips trembling slightly in the rain as she asked with a quivering voice: "Is... is it Zhou Ziran?"

  She really didn't want to believe this fact.

  Zhou Ziran, the man who was as warm as sunshine and had always been by her side during her most difficult and bewildered times? Had he actually already had another woman all along?

  She still remembered that not long ago, Zhou Ziran had introduced her to Qin Jing, saying that she was the daughter of his father's sworn brother and had grown up with him since childhood. At that time, she had truly regarded Qin Jing as a younger sister, but...

  This cruel fact made Cheng Zihuan feel as if a knife was fiercely cutting into the flesh of her heart, painful, painfully difficult to breathe.

  "Of course it's him, who else could it be? You're really stupid, you believe whatever he says. Did he tell you that we've been engaged for five years already? Or did he ever mention to you that I've been his woman for many years now? What he might not dare to let you know is that everything that happened today, he knew about it and allowed it to happen. How does that feel? Hearing the truth, can't you hardly believe it? Don't you want to go ask him clearly? Don't worry, I won't let you die, I'll give you a chance to ask him." Looking at Cheng Zihan's pale face, Qin Jing laughed even more ruthlessly.

  She took a look at Duan Yitong, who was almost tortured to death. It wasn't her intention to take his life, and it would be enough if he was just tortured. She believed that after tonight, Duan Yitong wouldn't die but also couldn't continue living. At that time, Cheng Zihan would live with guilt for the rest of her life. When she returned home and found a big fire had engulfed her house, all her beloved family members were gone. It was estimated that she wouldn't be able to withstand this blow either. Would such a person still forgive Zhou Ziran? Could she still be with the man who killed her parents and caused the death of her best friend?

  As a result, it seems like everything is already clear without even thinking about it.

  "No! No! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Zirui wouldn't do this to me, he wouldn't!" Cheng Zihan seemed unwilling to accept the fact, shaking her head frantically, tears streaming down her face and falling into her mouth, filling it with bitterness.

  "This face, I really can't stand it, ruining her looks. Make sure to clean up thoroughly and leave no evidence behind. This woman isn't bad either, you guys can have fun with her as much as you want, just don't kill her, nothing else matters." Looking at Cheng Zihan, Qin Jing sneered and shook her head, then put on her sunglasses, held up an umbrella, and walked away in high heels.

  Cheng Zihan felt as if she had been emptied out at that moment, with Qin Jing's cruel and sinister laughter still echoing in her ears, intertwined with the mournful cries of her good friend Yi Tong, seemingly forever etched in her mind.

  Not far away, it seemed that the headlights of a car had passed by, and there was also the sound of water splashing up from the puddles on the ground after being driven over by the wheels, but then again, it seemed like there was no sound at all.

  Cheng Zihan looked up at the sky, and the rain seemed to grow heavier. She thought she saw Zhou Ziran, with a warm smile on his face, just like when they first met. He was so sunny and handsome, standing in front of her, smiling and greeting her.

  "Hi, I'm Zhou Ziran, can I leave a phone number?"

  At that moment, the sunshine lost its color, he was noble and elegant like a prince of nobility, just descended in front of her...

  However, all the memories began to fade away gradually. Cheng Zihang seemed to have heard the sound of a police siren ringing in his ears, and it also seemed as if someone was calling out to him softly by his ear, with such sincerity that it made one's heart ache.

  She struggled hard to open her eyes and see who the person calling out to her was, but the voice wasn't the familiar Zhou Ziran's voice, it sounded a bit strange.

  Her eyelids grew heavier, and in a daze, Cheng Zihan suddenly saw a dazzling flash of light, from which two men with ox-like faces and horse-like faces emerged, their faces twisted into cruel grins as they sneered at her.

  Her last bit of consciousness also disappeared, her body went limp and fell down, with no breath left.
