"Yesterday, I spent 800 yuan to buy a piece of jade from you. What you said about it being blessed and rare in a century is all bullshit."
"I took a shower and realized the color had changed." The woman became increasingly angry and grabbed the boss by the collar. "Are you kidding me? I want my money back."
The boss was a middle-aged man who had simply taken a liking to the girl's delicate demeanor yesterday. While she was skilled at bargaining, she looked delicate and timid. He probably wouldn't cause trouble, and was likely someone who accepted his loss. But now, seeing Su Yin glaring at him with a fierce, furious expression, the boss suddenly felt like gouging out his own eyes.
"Miss..." The boss smiled cautiously, but because of his height and Su Yin's pull on his collar, he had to look down at her with a strange look. But this sneaky look irritated Su Yin even more, so she tightened her grip on his hand.
"Who the hell are you calling a prostitute?" His expression grew even more ferocious. The boss was even more frightened, his body trembling slightly. The surrounding onlookers were also frightened and took a few steps back, away from the disaster area.
"What I, Su Yin, hate most in my life is liars. What do you think we should do?" She took out the fake jade from her pocket and threw it hard on the table.
The people around him began to talk even more quietly. The boss looked troubled, and slowly realized that if he didn't solve this problem today, he would have no chance of continuing his business in the future. Thinking of this, the boss pulled a piece of ancient jade from his pocket and carefully presented it to him.
"Miss. No, girl." Seeing Su Yin's fierce look again, the shop owner immediately changed his words and said, "I found this piece of jade at the antique market a few days ago. I was planning to keep it for myself, but if you don't mind, I'll give it to you. How about it?"
Su Yin's expression softened slightly. She loosened her grip on the shop owner's collar and snatched the jade pendant from his hand. She quickly glanced at it, then loosened her grip and threw it to the ground. She then yanked the owner's collar, which had just been loosened. "I don't even know if this is real. What if it's fake? Anyway, I want my money back! My money back!"
The boss immediately looked embarrassed. "Girl, please don't. I swear to you this time that this is absolutely real. I spent a lot of time searching for it. This jade is really a rare ancient jade that is only a hundred years old. I originally planned to keep it for myself, but since you look kind, I decided to give it to you." As if he felt that this statement was inappropriate, he immediately changed his words. She looks kind? How could she look kind? "Even if you want me to refund you, I haven't even opened a business today. How can I afford to refund you?"
"Stop the bullshit!" Su Yin yelled. "If you don't return my money today, including the principal and interest, plus compensation for my emotional distress, I'm not done with you today."
Everyone around was watching this farce with a wait-and-see attitude. However, no one noticed that the jade pendant fell to the ground with a thud, and immediately emitted a faint light.
Su Yin was arguing with her boss at the moment, only to faintly sense a fluorescent light. Suddenly, her feet went weak. She watched the faces of those around her turn horrified, and her vision gradually blurred. Even the expression on the face of the shop owner in front of her seemed a little slow to register. Finally, she felt herself getting further and further away from them, her feet lifted off the ground, and she fell.

Emergency in this city: Due to an unknown emergency, a woman is missing in × area of our city due to a sudden landslide.
"Ah---" Su Yin couldn't help but scream. Finally, with a thud, she fell into the water. Unable to resist, she struggled with her hands and feet, finally emerging from the water. She discovered the water wasn't actually deep, only reaching just below her chest. She'd been so nervous she hadn't noticed. But what truly frightened her was that it wasn't water, it was blood. She could only sense the pervasive red. Although there was no odor, she couldn't help but feel terrified.
"This damn shop owner." Su Yin rubbed his arm lightly and couldn't help cursing.
"Could this be the work of the shop owner?" The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"If anyone dares to cause trouble for him, he will leave them here. Why am I so unlucky? If I had known earlier, I would have just swallowed the loss and not caused trouble for him. I really asked for trouble." She frowned and looked sad.
"He wouldn't want to kill to silence the witness, would he? But with so many people watching over there, would he be so brave? Oh, maybe there's someone protecting him there. I'm so unlucky that my best years will be wasted here." The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, and looked around the room. She was surprised to find that the room was not only very large but also ancient in style.
Is it possible that all antique collectors are into this? Isn't it a waste to use this room to lock me up? She thought, but couldn't help but feel that the place seemed eerily quiet. Above her head was an opening the size of a pool, through which sunlight filtered faintly. Everything was so peaceful, yet eerily quiet.
Su Yin couldn't help swallowing, thinking that usually the protagonist of a horror movie would see a ghost behind him when he turned around in this situation, he couldn't help but slowly turned around to look, but suddenly opened his mouth wide.
Behind him was a man, a very handsome one at that. His inky black hair was tucked behind him, and the sunlight streaming down cast a soft shadow on his delicate face. Though his face was picturesque and peerless, his upper body was surprisingly bare, with a few golden runes on his chest. His hands and feet were chained, seemingly so sturdy that he couldn't move an inch, his entire body stretched out like a giant character.
