In the last moment before Liao Nanxing lost consciousness, he saw Tai'an laughing maniacally.
Liao Nanxing shuddered and groggily opened his eyes when a wave of coldness swept over his body.
What came into view was Tai'an, his chest half-open, walking towards him with a bottle of wine in his hand.
Before he could even finish speaking, Tai'an poured the wine over his head.
A burning pain shot through his forehead, instantly bringing him back to his senses.
He then realized that he was tied to a pillar.
As consciousness returned, the last memories flooded back to me.
Crazy! Tai'an is a madman!
Why didn't Wu Enchuan tell him that Tai'an was mentally ill?
"Tai, An, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, illegal imprisonment is against the law! Let me go! Otherwise, I will definitely sue you until you are bankrupt!"
"Sue me? Hehehe... Hahahahaha..." Tai'an laughed loudly, picked up the bottle and poured the wine into his mouth.
Liao Nanxing felt much better because Tai'an looked at him with such a laugh that it was as if... as if he were a unique delicacy.
Fear, like ants, permeated his bones, beginning to devour him from within.
This fear was completely different from the one Gu Yao had instilled in him.
When you fight Gu Yao, his harmless appearance makes you think that crushing him would be as easy as turning your hand.
However, just when you think you're on the verge of victory, you realize that the path beneath your feet has become narrow without you even noticing, and the road ahead is pitch black.
At this moment, you realize something is wrong and want to turn back, but he has already cut off all your escape routes.
Then you are forced to keep going, experiencing mental anguish such as difficulty, confusion, helplessness, and frustration.
The pain of feeling like he wouldn't live to see tomorrow, caused by Tai'an's madness, was even greater than that of Gu Yao.
"What...what do you want to do? Tai'an, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Tai family as your backer! I advise you to let me go right now! Otherwise..."
With a dull thud, the pain of his swollen, torn cheek caused his head to throb with pain.
"Liao Nanxing, let me tell you, the real rule of this world is money! If I want, I can make you disappear from this world."
Liao Nanxing's heart tightened, and he gripped the handle tightly with both hands.
He's not a three-year-old; of course he knows that the essence of the rules is capital.
"But... I'll give you a chance. If you tell me who told you I was here, I'll let you leave here alive."
"Nobody's here..."
"Liao Nanxing, you only have one chance."
Tai'an crouched down, looking down at Liao Nanxing to meet his gaze.
Liao Nanxing's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated.
Unconsciously, I clenched my teeth to keep the sound from escaping my lips.
"How interesting! Someone as selfish to the core as you actually has such backbone. Good!" Tai'an clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "If I didn't grant your wish, I would be letting down your proud spirit."
After saying that, Tai'an beckoned with his finger in the direction behind him.
He then heard footsteps approaching him from not far behind.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go now!"
Liao Nanxing struggled and roared.
But Tai'an just looked at him, his smile growing wider and wider.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his hair from behind, and he felt a cold, icy touch on his neck.
"What...what do you want to do? Tai'an! Let me go!"
Tai'an laughed maniacally, "But I gave you a chance to leave. You didn't want it. Now, do it."
As the words fell, came the pain of skin being cut.
Liao Nanxing panicked and blurted out, "I'll talk! I'll tell you anything you want to know! Let me go! I don't want to die!"
At this moment, he not only began to regret not doing what Tai'an said earlier, but also worried about what would happen if Tai'an didn't want to listen anymore.
"Wu Enchuan! Wu Enchuan told me! He was a student I sponsored. When I asked him for it, he told me without hesitation. Let me go, let me go!"
As the cold sensation on his neck disappeared, Liao Nanxing felt completely limp and unable to move even his fingers.
He gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down with relief at surviving the ordeal.
On the other hand, he felt ashamed for betraying his students.
However, the next second, a voice in his heart told him: There is nothing to blame yourself for. As long as you can live, this little thing is nothing.
Perhaps it was the sound that had an effect, as the guilt he felt was slowly fading away.
He was panting heavily, looked up at Tai'an, and said, "I've told you everything you want to know. Let me leave."
Tai'an, sitting on the sofa, was propping his head up with his hand and laughing heartily.
It was as if... he had told some huge joke.
However, the next second, Liao Nanxing heard a familiar voice.
"teacher……"
Liao Nanxing froze, stunned.
How did he end up here?
What are you doing here, Wu Enchuan!
Turning his head slowly, he saw Wu Enchuan with a look of disappointment and pain on his face.
"How...how did you get here?"
Liao Nanxing's first reaction was not to explain, but to feel betrayed by Wu Enchuan.
With red-rimmed eyes, Wu Enchuan looked away in disappointment and said, "I'm willing to accept the loss. But before that, there's something I need to do."
After saying that, Wu Enchuan took a few quick steps toward Liao Nanxing.
The moment Wu Enchuan raised his hand, Liao Nanxing actually closed his eyes and turned his face to the side, as if waiting for the fist to fall.
However, Wu Enchuan simply took out his phone from Liao Nanxing's pocket and transferred back the money he had previously transferred to Liao Nanxing.
"Teacher, you've disappointed me so much. I even went so far as to extort money from President Tai just to raise funds for you. You...you're not worth it!"
After Wu Enchuan finished speaking, he put Liao Nanxing's phone back and turned to leave.
Liao Nanxing stared blankly at Wu Enchuan's departing figure.
So... was I really wrong?
In the spacious private room, Tai'an threw his head back and laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, Liao Nanxing, you really are just like what A Yao said, a coward who's afraid of death! You always put on that aloof and arrogant act, but it turns out it was all an act. Hahahaha..."
Liao Nanxing's face was flushed.
However, he did not think his choice was wrong.
Because he is also a human being, and as long as he is a human being, he should think of himself first.
Tai'an beckoned with his finger, and someone untied the ropes binding him.
Once she came to her senses, Liao Nanxing leaned against a pillar, got up, and started walking outside.
Behind him, Tai'an laughed and said, "Liao Nanxing, if I were you, I would obediently do as A Yao says. Even ten of you combined wouldn't be a match for him."
Liao Nanxing paused briefly, but did not turn around. Instead, he continued walking back the way he had come.
It was at this moment that he realized that from the moment Wu Enchuan left, he... had become all alone.
From now on, there will be no one around him who is willing to genuinely help him.
When exactly did it begin?
