"Sigh, you really should thank me. If it weren't for me, this human would be dead." Jiang Shanshan walked up to Chen Dudu and smiled. "I don't necessarily need you to repay me or anything. Just remember that I saved your lives. I can't help it, because Grandma loves me the most."
"You're overthinking it. I won't thank you. You're not doing this for us, you're doing it for yourself," Chen Dudu replied. "You just want to keep Mu Nanxun alive so you can take him for yourself."
"Nonsense, that's not true!" Jiang Shanshan denied it outright.
With so many subordinates and clansmen present, how could she expose her little scheme to them? However, Chen Dudu guessed correctly; she couldn't bear to see this man die, which was why she came up with this plan.
Jiang Shanshan knew Grandma Arno best, and was well aware of her stubbornness and autocratic ways. Often, the more someone contradicted Grandma, the less likely she was to give in, and she might even escalate her behavior. If one pleaded openly like Yu'er did, not only would it not achieve its goal, but it would also anger Grandma.
Therefore, Jiang Shanshan came up with a plan to do the opposite. Knowing that Grandma Arno hated Mu Nanxun and his group, she went along with her wishes and said that they should torture them first to buy some time so that he wouldn't be executed immediately, otherwise there would be no chance at all.
Sure enough, her method worked.
She just hadn't expected that her grandmother wouldn't see through her little scheme, but Chen Dudu had. She felt a little guilty for a moment.
Chen Dudu snorted coldly, "If you don't want to admit it, then don't. But I advise you not to even think about it. Mu Nanxun's feelings for Yi Yiyi are deep and unchanging. You... have no chance, so don't waste your energy and end up humiliating yourself."
"I don't understand what you're saying. What are you all standing there for? Put them all in jail!"
...
The so-called prison is nothing more than a giant puddle.
"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, wake up, don't sleep."
In a daze, I heard anxious voices coming from not far away, along with familiar, low growls.
With difficulty, I opened my eyes and saw a blurry figure in front of me.
Yi tried to move, but found that she couldn't move at all.
It turned out that her arms were bound to her sides with iron chains, and her body was submerged in the water, with only her waist and above exposed.
The water was filthy and reeked of a foul stench; the bottom was completely invisible. It seemed to harbor many living creatures such as rats and cockroaches.
As soon as she moved, everything in the water became excited and moved around her body.
The bolder ones slowly approached her, licking her exposed skin.
Because the underground was damp and cold, the water in the water dungeon was also freezing cold.
Before long, Yi Yi, who was already dressed in thin clothes, was soaked through. A bone-chilling cold swept up her body from the bottom up, and her lips turned blue from the cold.
Her consciousness was blurred; she was just struggling to stay upright.
"Yi Yi, you're finally awake. Wake up, don't sleep anymore."
It was a long time before Yi Yi recognized the anxious figure in front of her as Chen Dudu. Like her, Chen Dudu was also bound by chains, and the sewage was up to her waist.
In mid-air, Momo, her fur stained with blood and grime, was bound hand and foot and stuffed into a cage.
Where's Mumu...?
