Time passed second by second. Gan Tang sat on the sofa in the living room, touching her scalp where her hair had been pulled out, and the pain grew stronger and stronger.
"Ugh, ugh..."
Gan Tang ran into the bathroom and started gagging.
He Zhong had been observing Gan Tang the whole time; if she wasn't afraid, why would she react like this? He gave Lin Shuang a meaningful look, and Lin Shuang followed Gan Tang into the bathroom.
"What's wrong?"
"I am seasick!"
"The sea is calm now, so where's the seasickness?" Fu Shaojie leaned against the bathroom door frame, his face showing a knowing look.
"Ugh, ugh..." Gan Tang ignored him and continued vomiting. Perhaps due to nervousness, she actually vomited up the white rice from last night.
"Mr. Fu is resting. Let's not disturb him. Shall I take you to my room to rest first?"
Without waiting for Gan Tang's reply, Lin Shuang helped Gan Tang walk outside.
Lin Shuang's room was downstairs, and the two took the elevator down.
Stepping out of the elevator, Gan Tang shoved Lin Shuang aside and ran up the stairs towards the deck.
Beyond the deck stretched the vast ocean.
Since she couldn't decide her own life or death, she would choose how she died. She would never give her heart to an evil person.
The sea breeze caressed her face. Gan Tang had never felt so brave before. She climbed onto the railing and opened her arms wide in freedom.
Suddenly a dark shadow darted out, breaking her wings of freedom.
Gan Tang nestled in the man's arms, looking at the face that had saved her time and time again, unsure whether to be grateful or hate him.
"You're seasick that badly?"
When Mo Huaixing saw Lin Shuang running over, he pushed Gan Tang away from his embrace.
Lin Shuang quickly helped Gan Tang up, pretending to be clueless, and said, "No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can't jump into the sea!"
Gan Tang looked back at the sea, no longer having the courage to jump, and let Lin Shuang pull her back to the room.
In the room, Lin Shuang found a "seasickness pill" and handed her a glass of water.
Gan Tang took it and held it tightly in her hand. The water temperature gradually cooled down.
Lin Shuang asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"My stomach is empty, I feel uncomfortable if I eat!" Gan Tang made up an excuse on the spot. Although she didn't know what she, a person who was about to die, had to guard against.
"Then I'll get you some bread!"
"No, it will only make me feel worse!" Gan Tang refused her offer again.
Lin Shuang looked at the closed inner room door, got up and sat down next to Gan Tang, gently patting the back of her hand.
"I know you're not like that, don't be afraid, I can help you!"
Gan Tang looked at Lin Shuang in surprise, but held back her curiosity.
Lin Shuang coldly reminded him, "There's still an hour until the results come out. Do you expect a miracle?"
Yes, it's all in black and white; how could a miracle possibly happen?
Gan Tang raised her head, deciding to take a gamble: "How can you help me?"
“It’s very simple,” Lin Shuang said. “As long as you show sincerity, I can help you change the result.”
"What sincerity?"
Lin Shuang pointed to the medicine in her hand and whispered, "Take this and sleep with a man."
Is it really that simple?
Gan Tang crushed the medicine in her hand into powder and gritted her teeth, saying, "I promise you, but I won't take the medicine. Aren't you just afraid that if I find out who it is, I can blindfold myself?"
A knock sounded on the inner door.
Lin Shuang turned on her phone's camera and instructed, "Take off your clothes, I'll take a few pictures of you first."
It turns out she wanted to take nude photos, and then photos of herself having sex with men, in order to control herself.
A lifetime of being a walking corpse!
Gan Tang panicked a little, but she had no choice but to take off her clothes as ordered.
Lin Shuang asked, "Who told you the name Jian Suhuai?"
"Everything I said to Mr. Fu was true. I just wasn't sure if he was really my biological father." Gan Tang lied; she didn't want to implicate the man who had helped her.
I tried to take my clothes off for ages, but I still couldn't get them off.
Lin Shuang urged, "Hurry up!"
Gan Tang finally struggled and said, "Can you take pictures after we finish that?"
Although the result is the same, the psychological torment is different depending on whether it is voluntary or involuntary.
Her tear-streaked face reminded Lin Shuang of herself back then. Lin Shuang felt a pang of pity.
She put down her phone, put a blindfold on Gan Tang, and then wrapped it with black tape to prevent it from falling off.
In the darkness, she was pushed into the inner room like a rag doll being manipulated at will.
With a rough tug, Gan Tang was thrown onto the bed. Her ears were ringing, and she could still hear the man's heavy breathing. The man kissed her a couple of times, then, finding her clothes in the way, began to undress her.
A loud knocking sounded on the door, as if someone was about to break down the door and burst in. The man slunk away and hid in the closet.
Lin Shuang hurriedly pulled Gan Tang back to the living room.
Just as the blindfold was removed, the door was smashed open. Fu Shaojie stood in the doorway with two of his men.
"You scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you. Why didn't you open the door for so long?" Fu Shaojie strode towards Gan Tang and asked, "I heard from Mo Huaixing that she almost fell into the sea just now?"
Lin Shuang nodded awkwardly: "She was just feeling really unwell and wanted to get some fresh air."
"You're so stupid! She knew she was going to be exposed, so she tried to jump into the sea." Fu Shaojie waved for two of his men to come in. They were the same two who had initially been guarding Gan Tang.
"Her heart is still functional; we can't let her die. You all keep a close eye on her." Fu Shaojie gave the order, turned and left, but then turned back at the door.
"No, I have to watch it myself."
He shooed his two men out and plopped down on the sofa right next to the inner door.
Its large body blocked Gantang's only way to survive.
Now, is even living such a humiliating life a luxury? I think of my parents sitting at the sumptuous dinner table, their smiling faces waiting for me to come home.
