It was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. He also felt that his whole body was bound and he couldn't move.

The man panicked and shouted, "Help! Where am I! Help!"

With a "click," the overhead light suddenly switched on, making him squint.

When he opened his eyes after his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a man in a black suit standing in front of him.

“It’s you.” He recognized him at a glance; it was the lawyer who had come downstairs to his apartment that day.

"You dare arrest me? You've got a death wish!" the man cursed, then suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wasn't I in the hospital? How did you bring me out? Where am I?!"

"Getting you out of here is easy enough," the lawyer said, pulling up a chair and sitting down opposite him. "Let me introduce myself. Besides being a lawyer for the Imperial View Group, I'm also a bodyguard personally trained by Master Zhan, and a hacker. I wear many hats. Master Zhan has entrusted your matter to me."

"What do you mean by handing it over to you?" The man immediately became defensive. "What do you want to do to me? Don't do anything rash! I'm a big celebrity now. If I suddenly die, the police will definitely investigate thoroughly!"

"Did I say I wanted you to die?" The lawyer smiled. "My request is simple: go and kowtow to Sun Chen, apologize, and confess to all your crimes."

"Are you kidding me?" the man said. "If I go, I'll be dead for sure."

"If you don't go, you'll only die faster."

"Don't threaten me. If I die, even a fool would know it's related to Sun Chen. Her reputation won't be any better!"

The lawyer raised an eyebrow. "So you're not agreeing, is that right?"

"Only a fool would agree to that!"

"Fine, you asked for this. Guards, come here."

Two bodyguards quickly walked in from outside, each carrying a syringe.

The man's face turned pale. "What is this? What do you want to do! Don't do anything rash!"

The lawyer smiled and said, "Of course, it's something nice to treat you to."

Two bodyguards quickly stepped forward, inserted a syringe into the man's arm, and slowly injected the liquid inside into his body.

A moment later, the man began to struggle in agony, "Ah—it hurts so much! What did you do to me! It hurts so much! Ah—"

"I told you, this is a treat for you," the lawyer said with a smirk. "When you can't take it anymore and agree to my terms, then have someone notify me."

After he finished speaking, he got up and left.

In less than ten minutes, the man couldn't take it anymore. "I promise, I promise! I promise, okay?!"

The lawyer walked in carrying a thermos, saying, "You're the one who compromised the fastest in my hands."

"I really can't take it anymore..." The man was sweating profusely from the pain. "Please, please stop torturing me."

The lawyer gave the bodyguard a wink, and only then did the bodyguard inject him with the antidote.

The man felt relieved, as if he had been brought back to life.

The lawyer said, "I'm letting you go now, but you have six hours to do as I say, or you'll bear the consequences."

"Okay, I promise, I will definitely go."

The man left quickly, only to find himself in a hotel room across from the hospital.

He ran out of the hotel quickly, spat, and said, "Pah! You think you can control me? Dream on!"

He dared not go back to the hospital and went straight home.

His home wasn't very safe, but at least there were so many netizens watching downstairs. They were both criticizing him and protecting him.

He refused to believe that Zhan Jingting's men could still capture him under the watchful eyes of so many people!

The man locked the door and lay down to sleep peacefully.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon. He got up and went to the refrigerator to find something to eat.

I had only eaten half of it when that intense pain swept over me again!

"Ah—" the man cried out in excruciating pain, "It hurts so much! I can't take it anymore! Ah—"

He endured the pain and used his last bit of strength to dial 120.

The netizens downstairs watched the man being taken away by the ambulance: "......"

"What's going on? We didn't do anything to him."

"Karma in this life! It would be best if he were dead!"

After arriving at the hospital, the man's pain still hadn't subsided, and he couldn't help but yell, "What are you all doing! I'm in so much pain!"

"We can't find anything wrong with you, so we can't prescribe any medication," the doctor explained.

"I was injected with a liquid. Please find out what it is and give me pain relief!"

"You've already had your blood tested, and everything is normal. There's no problem."

"I'm in so much pain, how could I be okay!"

"Based on your test results, there really is no problem. If you don't believe me, you should transfer to another hospital."

"Damn it! Just you wait, I'll definitely file this complaint to the end!"

The man endured the pain and went to another hospital, but the same thing happened. Various tests showed no abnormalities, and the doctor could only give him some regular painkillers, but they were completely ineffective.

The man suddenly realized something and hurriedly jumped off the hospital bed and rushed out the door.

He went to the hotel room that morning and knocked on the door frantically.

The door was quickly opened, and it was the bodyguard from during the day.

The lawyer sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea. "You're here so quickly?"

The man rushed forward and demanded, "You didn't give me the antidote at all, did you!"

"Did I say I would give you the antidote?" the lawyer said with a smile. "I only said I would give you six hours to apologize to Sun Chen. If I was satisfied with your apology, I would naturally give you the antidote. But you didn't even go. So you promised me that you were just fooling me."

The man pleaded, "Please, have mercy on me, let me go..."
