ng the information. “That’s not right, Sister Yan, why are you denying Mr. Fu Could it be that you and Mr. Huo… something isn’t right, oh my, something isn't right at all～”"Oh, you little rascal!" Fu...The car started and slowly drove out of the community. At the gate, it was stopped by a barrier. The machine prompted that the car needed to park for one hour and cost five yuan.

原來是收費停車。

A man rolled down his car window, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. He took out his phone and scanned the QR code next to him, automatically swiping five yuan.

It was already 2:00 AM. The security guard glanced at him subconsciously, feeling a bit familiar. He recognized him as one of the residents here.

The other party had already withdrawn their hand. He only caught a glimpse of the skin, which was very pale and thin, looking as if it were starved.

After paying the parking fee, the gate arm rose, and the car drove out. The right turn signal was turned on, and along the road with towering lampposts, the car continued south until it passed a bustling marketplace. Further on, the pedestrian and vehicle traffic decreased.

The man parked the car on the side of the road, reached into the glove compartment, and pulled out a bottle of water. He twisted off the cap and brought it to his lips.

...but suddenly realized that the human skin mask on his face was too much of an inconvenience. He moved the water bottle, and with his other hand he ripped at the lower left jaw a few times, then tore off the entire human skin mask and tossed it aside.

He leaned back against the chair, his thin chest rising and falling slightly.

The streetlight's cold light spilled into the car. The man's face, as bright as moonlight, flickered in the interplay of light and shadow. He finished his water, rolled down the window, shoved the human skin mask into the bottle, and tossed it into the roadside trash can.

Now sanitation workers have already begun their work. In the distance, a garbage truck is slowly driving over. Before dawn, that bottle and its contents will be sent to the transfer station along with other trash.

The car continued to start, driving south all the way. It passed through a tunnel, a gas station, and after that, the buildings became fewer and farther between. It passed an abandoned park, a desolate area where few people ventured, and faint meows could be heard from somewhere in the hazy mist.

The car disappeared into the mist, and in a moment, a luxury sedan of a completely different class emerged from the other side of the fog.

The last car stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

At this moment, the villa is pitch black. This villa district was originally a deserted project. Later, the government took over and residents gradually moved in, but because the original selling price was too high, there are still many vacant houses today.

In the dark and damp cellar, Cao Man was once again awakened by the cold. Although it was late spring in Nancheng now, this place was stuffy and damp, so cold that her bones ached. The sound of dripping water echoed from somewhere unknown.

Suddenly, she heard familiar footsteps, tapping, tapping, tapping into her ears.

She was like a frightened bird, shrinking into the corner and trembling. Her eyes, bloodshot with terror, stared at the door.

Although she couldn't see, she knew that was the doorway, and in a moment that man would appear there.

A single, pea-sized light flickered at the edge of the darkness.

As the aura grew larger, Cao Man's blood seemed to solidify throughout her body, chilling her to the bone and making her teeth chatter.

With a loud click, the lock gave way, and the light from the red candles instantly filled the room.

Caoman looked at the handsome face, she wanted to call out, but she couldn't make a sound. This man had given her something to drink, and her throat was hoarse; she couldn't speak.

The man kicked at the iron chains binding her, then crouched down before her, placing a piece of bread and a cup of milk in front of her.

"Eat."

Cao Man's face was as pale as dirt as she stared at the two objects. She didn't know how long she had been imprisoned, nor did she know if it was day or night. It all felt incredibly long, as if time had stopped in this place.

She was starving, so hungry she could see stars. Since being locked up, she hadn't eaten anything except the single cup of water a man had forced her to drink.

But she didn't dare to eat.

Last time it was poison in a drugged drink, she didn't know what this time would be. Would it be something that kills her directlyo Shu led a middle-aged woman over, "Mr. Huo, this is the nutritionist who just arrived."Ho Mingzheng glanced casually, with a grunt of "Let's see how it goes first. If she's satisfied, she can stay."...
