As Nangong Yi watched Su Xiaoyue's head struggle in the water, the ruthlessness in his eyes intensified.

"Su Xiaoyue, do you like this half-dead feeling?"

"Puff puff puff—"

Su Xiaoyue's entire head was submerged in the water tank. She thought that as long as she held her breath, it would pass quickly, but Nangong Yi's people obviously did not intend to let her go so easily.

As if knowing that Su Xiaoyue was a good swimmer, Dong Jinyang suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her out of the water before she could react.

Then, before Su Xiaoyue could hold her breath, he pushed her into the water tank again. The icy water immediately entered her nose and mouth, and then her trachea with each breath.

A wave of pain and despair washed over Su Xiaoyue instantly. She instinctively opened her mouth wide to scream, and water immediately poured into her throat.

The fear of death surged into Su Xiaoyue's heart in an instant. She struggled to get up, kicking the water tank repeatedly with the toes of her slippers, trying to break it with her meager strength.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao gave up struggling, Dong Jinyang finally pulled her, who was on the verge of death, out of the water vat.

"Cough cough cough—"

Su Xiaoyue began coughing incessantly after leaving the water tank.

She seemed to have been reborn and began to breathe deeply.

As Nangong Yi watched her gasp for breath in pain, the cruel look on his cold lips became even more pronounced.

"Su Xiaoyue, how does this half-dead feeling feel?"

"Cough cough cough...you...cough cough cough..."

Su Xiaoyue looked at Nangong Yi with a pale face. She trembled uncontrollably because of the terrible fear, and the unease in her eyes became more and more profound.

Su Taihong, standing to the side, was filled with heartache when he saw his daughter being tortured like this.

He seemed to step forward to protect his daughter, but Lei Haoxuan beside him made him unable to move.

However, his gaze was particularly irritating to Nangong Yi.

"Su Taihong, if you dare to plead for this woman, I guarantee you'll make her suffer a fate worse than death again."

Nangong Yi was a man of his word, and the terrifying killing intent in his eyes, carrying a strong warning, was aimed directly at Su Taihong.

When Su Xiaoyue came to her senses, she no longer dared to beg Nangong Yi for mercy.

"Su Xiaoyue, are you sure you have nothing to do with Miss Su's death? I do have a question for you: who exactly is spreading rumors about Miss Su's depraved character?"

"No...no..."

"Su Xiaoyue, if I didn't have evidence, do you think I would waste my time here with you? My grandfather and Grandpa Su are close friends. Because of that relationship, I will definitely not let Miss die unjustly!" As Su Xiaoyue prepared to argue again, the fierce look in Nangong Yi's eyes deepened.

"Su Xiaoyue, you really are Lin Wanhui's daughter. All the good deeds you've done behind Miss Su's back over the years are enough to keep you in prison for the rest of your life!"

"It wasn't me...it really wasn't me..."

"Jinyang, push her completely into the water vat!"

Nangong Yi was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He gave Su Xiaoyue a vicious look and then gave the cruel order again.

When Su Xiaoyue heard that he was going to push her whole body into the water tank, tears immediately streamed down her face, and she was terrified.
