Chapter 69 Another Shock

What are these people going there for?

The trauma she experienced a few days ago was still vivid in her mind. Although Li Yanzhou said that the person was not dead, the terrifying torture instruments and the damp, sharp smell in the torture chamber were indeed real.

Besides, those people did indeed have their hands and feet cut off.

She quietly followed behind them and stopped to watch for a while.

After the six men went down the stairs, they disappeared into the darkness.

...

She didn't know how much time had passed when she seemed to hear faint screams from below, the screams were shrill and piercing.

Just then, a voice came from behind, "Miss Luo."

Looking back, I saw a maid.

The maid smiled at her and said politely, "Young Master instructed that you are not allowed to come near here. Please go to the living room."

"Oh, okay."

Luo Tingwei snapped out of her daze and said, "I understand, I'll be going now."

She sat in the living room for a while, watching the television program numbly, but her heart was filled with unease. For some reason, she kept thinking about what would happen in the torture chamber in the basement...

As if possessed, she stood up and her legs moved uncontrollably toward the torture chamber.

She pondered for a moment, as if to confirm something, then held her breath and slowly walked down.

Finally, she saw that dark, imposing door.

Luo Tingwei slowly walked over, and with each step she took, the screams inside became clearer and more horrific.

Thump thump thump... that's her heartbeat.

She had no idea she had ended up here; it was as if she were bewitched.

At that moment, the door to the torture chamber opened, and four men in black carried out a stretcher covered with a bloodstained white sheet, under which was the outline of a person.

In an instant, Luo Tingwei got goosebumps.

Could this be the person who was screaming just now?

The men in black were also surprised to see her, but they didn't say anything. They nodded slightly to her and continued moving things.

At this moment, Li Yanzhou's ruthless and resolute voice came from the torture chamber, "Remember this: it is better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free."

"This is what happens when you betray me, and I don't want a second one to happen."

"Anyone who dares to utter a single word about what happened today will suffer the same fate as him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei stiffened, took a few steps back, and bumped into the wall behind her. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed.

The noise startled the people inside.

Soon, Li Yanzhou strode out of the torture chamber, escorted by several bodyguards. When he saw her, his expression changed slightly.

"It's you! What are you doing here?"

His voice sounded unfamiliar to her for a moment.

Although she wasn't as ruthless as before, she wasn't as gentle as usual either.

Luo Tingwei's thoughts were very unconventional; she suddenly remembered feeding him leftovers before.

That's incredibly foolish of her; how could she dare to do that?

"I...I heard a sound from up there, and...I was curious, so I came down to take a look."

Seeing her pale face and the fact that she was slumped on the ground like a frightened rabbit, Li Yanzhou's heart softened.

He just exposed a traitor today, tortured him, and is still furious.

Knowing that she had been frightened last time, he had told the maid not to go near this place again.

Why did she come over on her own?

He walked over, looked at her startled expression, and finally just curled his lips into a smile, managing to utter, "You were frightened, weren't you?"

The next second, he picked her up by the waist and said, "Don't run around, it's very dirty here."

"I brought you here that day just to give you a little warning; I never intended for you to come a second time."

He acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't ask her why she came here. He simply carried her upstairs.

The maid waited helplessly at the top of the stairs. She had just realized that Luo Tingwei was no longer in the living room.

She remembered what Li Yanzhou had told her and was at a loss for what to do.

Seeing Li Yanzhou carrying her up, she quickly went to greet him, "Young Master, I..."

"Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

"yes."

The maid lowered her head guiltily.

"Would you like to go back to the bedroom, or sit in the garden?"

She seemed quite frightened again; it would be good for her to go out into the yard and get some sun.

"I...I'm going back to my bedroom."

Luo Tingwei forced a flattering smile, her body still somewhat stiff.

Seeing that she insisted, Li Yanzhou didn't force her and carried her to the bedroom.

Luo Tingwei was placed on the bed, looking like she was still in shock.

Li Yanzhou thought for a moment and asked, "How about I sleep with you for a while?"

Having just witnessed his ruthless side, Luo Tingwei dared not sleep with him and blurted out,

"It's okay... I'll be fine by myself for a while."

Unexpectedly, Li Yanzhou's expression suddenly darkened, and his voice rose a few decibels, "Are you very afraid of me?"

"Weiwei, I won't hurt you, so why are you resisting me like this?"

Luo Tingwei dared not meet his gaze and unconsciously tried to look away, but the next second, her chin was captured and she was forced to raise her head to look at him.

"I didn't resist you, I just..."

She couldn't even speak for herself, but the screams she had just heard outside the torture chamber kept echoing in her mind.

"I'm sorry, you know I'm a coward."

She quickly came up with an excuse.

"That's why I said I'd hold you while I sleep." The man's tone became increasingly insistent.

Luo Tingwei dared not say anything more and nodded in acquiescence.

Li Yanzhou turned and went into the bathroom, took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and then went to bed to hug her.

As the smell of blood dissipated, the familiar scent of his body filled her nostrils, and Luo Tingwei relaxed slightly.

But the thought of him having just executed one of his men in the torture chamber sent a shiver down her spine.

At this moment, she herself could hardly tell whether he was a devil or an angel in her eyes.

Judging from his decisive and ruthless manner just now, she couldn't help but wonder if one day it would affect her.

Just as she was lost in her fantasies, a man's voice came from above her, sounding gentle yet tinged with helplessness.

"Are you still scared? I've been holding you, those things have nothing to do with you, don't overthink it."

"Who...is that person?"

"He's just a traitor, a disloyal person. There's no need to keep him alive."

He spoke casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Should a traitor... necessarily die?"

Luo Tingwei knew she was asking a stupid question, but she asked it anyway.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhou's gaze slowly focused on her, as if he could see right through her.

The next second, the man's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Weiwei, the thing I hate most in my life is betrayal."

"That's right, traitors must die."
