Fang Rong awoke in excruciating pain. In her dazed state, she saw a dark figure standing in front of her. Her breath caught in her throat, her back stiffened, and she felt a chill run through her from head to toe.

She instinctively tried to struggle, but found that her hands and feet were tied. Even the slightest movement pulled on the wound on her head, causing her to gasp in pain.

Fang Rong arranged to meet Zhang Fan online, but when she arrived at the agreed location, she didn't see Zhang Fan. Instead, she met Qin Zhen instead.

Qin Zhen hit her on the head with a hammer, and then she knew nothing more.

Fang Rong remained silent, forcing herself to calm down as she observed the other person.

Zhang Fan will definitely call the police when he discovers she's missing. Even if Zhang Fan doesn't find out, Yuan Xin will definitely know.

She had agreed with Yuan Xin before their date to chat later, and the two of them would chat every night. She hadn't contacted Yuan Xin yet, so she was sure Yuan Xin would find a way to reach out to her.

The room was dark and poorly lit, making it difficult to see clearly. Fang Rong still relied on her memory to determine that the person in front of her was Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen stood in front of her, staring at her silently. His eyes were bloodshot and his under-eyes were bluish, as if he hadn't slept in a long time.

Then a smile bloomed on his face, twisted into a ferocious grin, his eyes filled with neuroticism.

"You're awake?" he said softly.

Unsure of Qin Zhen's true intentions, Fang Rong forced herself to calm down.

She tried to keep her tone calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her fear: "Uncle, please let me go. You'll go to jail if someone finds out."

"Hahaha...!" Qin Zhen seemed to have heard something funny, and tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed.

Fang Rong felt a chill run down her spine, but she continued to negotiate: "I made an appointment to meet my boyfriend. If he doesn't see me, he will definitely look for me. He might be on his way right now. If you let me go, I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Qin Zhen laughed for a while, then finally stopped, glancing nervously at Fang Rong, and took out his phone: "Is this what you mean?"

Fang Rong looked at the phone screen, which showed her chat interface with Zhang Fan, but it was the reverse of the one on her phone.

Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, her face was deathly pale, her heart was pounding, and her voice was filled with panic: "How did Zhang Fan's phone end up in your hands? You... what did you do to him?!"

Qin Zhen laughed wildly again: "What a promiscuous woman! She's keeping my child on her leash while secretly having an affair with another man. What a slut!"

"I never strung Qin Ting along. I rejected him every time he confessed his feelings. If you let me go, I will definitely apologize to him properly."

"Too late!" Qin Zhen roared, his eyes filled with ferocity. His face was contorted, and he gritted his teeth. "Zhang Fan was an imposter. I knew you were a promiscuous woman. You deserve to die! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

He clutched his head, pulled at his hair, his face contorted, and screamed hoarsely at the sky.

Fang Rong was so frightened by his frenzied appearance that she trembled all over. Suddenly, she saw something behind Qin Zhen. Upon closer inspection, she heard a shrill voice that almost cracked.

Behind Qin Zhen was also a bed, on which lay a person—no, to be precise, not a person, but a corpse.

The corpse had become enormous, its body swollen and unrecognizable.

Fang Rong only glanced at it briefly before she dared not look again, her whole body trembling with fear.

Qin Zhen was very dissatisfied with her fear. He took out a sharp knife and pressed it against Fang Rong's face.

Fang Rong's face was pressed inwards, and the sharp tip of the knife cut through her skin, causing her to feel both pain and itching.

Is he scary?

Fang Rong's face was filled with terrified tears, and her voice trembled: "No...not ugly!"

Qin Zhen's face twitched, and he glanced at Fang Rong sideways before patting her face with his own: "If it weren't for my son liking your face, I would definitely ruin it."

Finally, he left Fang Rong and walked to Qin Ting's side: "Son, don't be afraid. Noon today is an auspicious time, suitable for the wedding ceremony. I will send your beloved woman to accompany you."

Like a thunderbolt, Fang Rong's heart pounded like a drum.

Qin Zhen wants to kill her!

Noon is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There was a ticking sound in the room. Fang Rong endured the excruciating pain and turned her head to look. There was a clock on the wall, which was not very clear, but Fang Rong still judged by the shadows of the hour and minute hands that it was almost 11 o'clock.

Fang Rong was breathing rapidly; she only had a few minutes left to live!

Qin Zhen and Qin Ting talked for a while, and soon after, Qin Zhen turned and left. Shortly after leaving the room, they heard rustling sounds, as if they were looking for something.

Fang Rong realized this was her last chance to escape, so she ignored the injury on her head and desperately twisted her body, trying to break free of the rope.

She accidentally twisted to the edge of the bed, lost her balance, and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Qin Zhen burst in, grabbed Fang Rong by the hair and forced her to stand up: "You bitch, you can't wait to die, I'll grant your wish!"

"Beep beep beep, it's 11 o'clock now!"

A bird sticks its head out of the clock and announces the time.

Fang Rong's blood stopped flowing; the bird that told the time was practically a death knell!

"Hehe, time's up!"

Qin Zhen grinned maliciously, grabbing Fang Rong's hair with one hand and thrusting a knife at her with the other.

Fang Rong could clearly feel the coldness of the knife and screamed, "Help!"

"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!" Qin Zhen's voice was icy, like a demon from hell. "Don't be afraid, I've killed dogs before, I know how to kill someone with one blow!"

Fang Rong felt the knife cutting into her flesh, and a dull pain shot through her neck.

It’s over!

She's finished!
