As Zhang Chunfang was suffering, faint, suppressed "uh-uh" sounds could be heard from a secret room deep underground in the Shen family villa.
Behind that tightly closed, heavy iron door, it seemed, lay some unknown secret.
Anyone who walks into this dark and damp room would be quite surprised. They would see that the head of the Shen family, the famous old gentleman of Jincheng, Shen Lihong, is wearing a black blindfold and has a rough strip of cloth tightly between his teeth, hanging on a wooden cross.
His limbs were tightly bound to the four corners of the cross, presenting an extremely bizarre posture, resembling a suffering Yaso.
Actually, he had already become like this since last night.
Zhang Chunfang said she had to go out, but before leaving, she gently told him she wanted to play a special game together...
I never expected this game to be so special!
Since Zhang Chunfang left, Shen Lihong has been abandoned here all alone, with no one caring about him.
Time ticked by, and the long wait almost drove him to despair.
But isn't this despair exactly what he wanted?
At this moment, the cloth strip held in the corner of Shen Leehom's mouth was already completely soaked with saliva.
Surprisingly, despite his predicament, a faint blush appeared on his weathered old face. Perhaps it was due to the prolonged restraint and tension, or perhaps some indescribable emotions were surging within him.
Apart from occasionally squeezing out a few indistinct, stammering sounds from deep in his throat, he remained completely still, like a statue.
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from outside the door, gradually becoming clearer as they approached.
Immediately afterwards, three crisp knocks on the door broke the long silence inside.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Last night, the young lady announced that she would completely sever ties with the Shen family from Lantian Group! And... and she ruthlessly dismissed all the Shen family members who had been planted within Lantian Group!"
The messenger spoke urgently, clearly bringing news that was both urgent and serious.
"Um?"
Just then, as the sound reached Shen Lihong's ears, his head, which had been tilted to the side and lifeless, suddenly straightened up as if pulled by an invisible force.
This simple action seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Shen Lihong immediately recognized the voice as that of his adopted daughter, Shen Jing, and only Shen Jing, Shen Lanxin, and Zhang Chunfang knew about the basement in the house.
After confirming Shen Jing's identity, the corners of his mouth, which were covered by a strip of cloth, involuntarily turned up slightly because of Shen Jing's words, forming a strange and chilling arc.
"Oh!"
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar echoed throughout the room.
With this roar, Shen Lihong's muscles tensed and veins bulged, and the strips of cloth that had been tightly binding his limbs were torn apart as easily as fragile paper.
Then, he leaped lightly into the air and landed steadily on the cold ground.
Upon landing, Shen Leehom did not hesitate at all. He quickly reached out with both hands, accurately grabbed the strip of cloth tied to his head and the blindfold, and forcefully ripped them off and threw them to the ground.
In an instant, those eyes that had been hidden in the darkness were finally revealed.
However, the eyes that were previously filled with murky and viscous desires have now become unusually clear and bright, like a cold star twinkling in the deep night sky.
"Lan Xin...you..."
He stared at a corner not far ahead, muttering to himself.
His gaze revealed a complex emotion that was hard to describe, a mixture of regret and a hint of resentment. Then, he slowly lowered his head, glanced at the strips of cloth and blindfold scattered at his feet, shook his head gently, and sighed, "What a pity. I'm afraid I'll never find someone who meets my needs so well again."
