The rope was bound using a special technique, but unfortunately, it couldn't be untied.

Seeing the person emerge from the shadows, she stood before Indra, her anger blazing, and demanded, "Who are you? Why did you hit him?"

Di Xing looked at the girl in red in front of him, his eyes clear, but now filled with anger.

Di Xing, one of the top ten secret guards by Di Chenxiao, is in charge of affairs in the torture chamber and specializes in interrogating prisoners. Even the tightest lips of a prisoner can be pried open under his control.

Di Xing smiled and said, "Little girl, what is your relationship with A Shi? How did you end up here?"

“You know Di Shi, no, you're all Xiao Xiao's people, so you must know him. But you can't bully him just because he's young.”

Shi Xi glared at him angrily.

A glint flashed in Di Xing's eyes. The way he addressed his master meant that Miss Shi was being protected by A Shi.

“Miss Shi, I did not bully him. If you don’t believe me, ask A Shi.”

"Di Shi." Shi Xi asked with her eyes, "Has this man bullied you?"

Di Shi was surprised to see Shi Xi here. Seeing her worried expression, he felt a little touched.

His voice was hoarse from prolonged dehydration. "No. I made a mistake and should be punished. How did Miss Shi end up here? That's not important. Ah Xing, take Miss Shi out. It's damp here; she'll easily get sick if she stays too long."

Di Xing adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Miss Shi, let me see you out."

Shi Xi bit her lower lip, looked at Di Shi with worry, and slowly said, "Yes, Di Chenxiao?"

She stepped forward and continued untying the ropes binding Indra. This time, she found the end of the rope and quickly untied it.

She took his arm, put it on her shoulder, and walked out.

Di Xing quickly stopped her, and Di Shi also removed his arm from Shi Xi's shoulder and took a step back.

“Miss Shi, A Shi cannot go out; his punishment is not over yet.”

“Look at him, he’s already badly injured. Even if he made a mistake, he’s already been punished enough.”

She knew that Di Chenxiao was a ruthless and cruel person, but he was so gentle and kind in front of her that she forgot his true nature. She didn't object to using cruel methods or torture to deal with enemies, but how could he be so merciless to his own people?

She disagreed with this point.

She remembered that the vertical scroll said that when Di Chenxiao was twenty-nine years old, he disappeared for unknown reasons. Even though he disbanded all his forces, ten people continued to follow and search for him, and one of these ten people was Di Shi.

"Do you have a cell phone? I forgot to take it out. Can I borrow yours to make a call to Master Chen?"

“No need to hit me, Miss Shi. I came here voluntarily to be punished. It has nothing to do with my master.”

As Di Shi watched Shi Xi's face grow increasingly grim, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't let Miss Shi dislike her master because of this.

Di Xing unlocked his phone and handed it to Shi Xi.

"Thank you." It was always Di Chenxiao who initiated contact, and she hadn't memorized his phone number. "Um, what's Mr. Chen's phone number?"

Di Xing chuckled softly, "The first one in the call log is Master."

At this moment, Di Chenxiao was cooking in the kitchen. He was just one dish away from finishing his meal.

The phone rang in the quiet kitchen. Di Chenxiao glanced at it; it was Di Xing calling. He answered impatiently, his voice icy cold, "You'd better make sure you have something important to tell me."

I disturbed him while he was cooking for Xixi.

Shi Xi gripped her phone tightly and slowly spoke, "Mr. Chen, it's me."
