I don't like titles anymore.

"You want to tell me, or should I do it?"

Zhang Yi was taken to the torture room again. He was handcuffed to an iron execution chair with his feet tied up and unable to move. Faced with Jin Suting's threats, he was almost scared to death.

What she held in her hand was a red-hot iron brand, which emitted a faint red glow in the dark and damp prison, and people who saw it unconsciously backed away.

Helan Ruizhe was sitting behind her. "Just confess quickly. You don't have to endure this pain any more."

Zhang Qingming: "That's right, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Yi didn't expect that Helan Ruizhe would send people to monitor his every move in the prison. Just now, he almost wanted to kill Silly Girl. If he really fell in love with Silly Girl as he said before, how could he be so cruel to his beloved.

"I, I don't know anything!" Zhang Yi pretended to be innocent. "What do you want me to say? I don't know anything!"

Jin Suting slowly approached him with the soldering iron, "What is your relationship with Silly Girl?"

Zhang Qingming also followed suit and said, "What's the connection?!"

She now had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and hoped it was not what she thought, so she turned to the other side.

"..." Zhang Yi twitched his lips. This was what he was asking. "I think she is really beautiful, so..."

"You beast!" Jin Suting slashed the branding iron down, piercing his chest. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Zhang Yi screamed in pain, and his fingers and toes curled up.

"You said you didn't touch her. You're lying. Damn it!" Even if it was subconscious, Jin Suting still hated liars the most.

Zhang Yi was so burned that he couldn't think independently for a moment and was not very clear-headed.

He was not a member of Mu Han Pavilion at all. He was just a vagrant gangster on the street. He was not the owner of a noodle shop. A rich and mysterious man paid him to kill someone, and then he pretended to be silent and gave him the noodle shop in return.

Zhang Yi later confessed all of this, and Jin Suting was horrified. She guessed who that person was. The purpose of creating civil unrest was to lure Helan Ruizhe to Jiangnan and kill him. It didn't take much thought to know who was most behind this plot.

"I really don't know who that mysterious man is. He was wearing a pitch-black cloak, and I couldn't see anything except his eyes!" Zhang Yi said this while enduring the pain.

Jin Suting's branding iron fell to the ground. She knew that Helan Yinsheng was ruthless, but she didn't expect that in order to hide his identity, he would not even let go of the foolish girl.

Ever since returning from prison, Jin Suting has been in a daze.

Zhang Yi was imprisoned and Shanu was released, but after being in jail for so long, her mental state became even more abnormal than before.

That morning, Helan Ruizhe took Jin Suting to the street to buy breakfast. In order to make her a little happier, he took her to eat some famous snacks in Jiangnan.

But when Jin Suting saw a familiar figure in the busy snack street, she felt terrible.

Did he follow me to Jiangnan?

Wouldn't Helan Ruizhe be in danger then? She realized that her mission was to assassinate Helan Ruizhe.

What on earth is she doing...

"What's wrong with you?" Helan Ruizhe noticed that something was wrong with her and took the initiative to show concern.

Jin Suting took a bite of tofu pudding and said, "I'm fine. Um, I'm going to the toilet."
