When An Rui opened her eyes, she saw a strange man doing something bad to her. She screamed, propped herself up, and kicked the man off her. Her screams also frightened the others.
The people waiting outside heard the noise and knocked on the door. The leader invited them in and continued to administer the drug to An Rui. To prevent any accidents, he not only covered her mouth and nose but also fed her the drug.
As a fan of ice love, what I dislike most is the act of being a living person. An Rui's outburst made everyone lose interest, and they all packed up and left.
In the end, only An Rui's boss, Jiang Yue, and the tall, thin man, Lu Cheng, remained. He had a wife and would accept anyone, whether alive or dead. An Rui's boss was also furious that such a mistake had occurred, so he retaliated by assaulting An Rui. The tall, thin man couldn't help but join in as well.
In the middle of the night, the other two women were carried back. Lu Cheng was still stroking An Rui. Jiang Yue waited anxiously on the side. This time, the client had an important business deal. If the funeral home he had worked with in the past hadn't been unable to find a suitable one, he wouldn't have thought of using this method. He had specifically instructed them to be careful, but things still went wrong.
Jiang Yue glanced at An Rui, who was still being tormented, and was furious. It was all because of this woman that he had ruined his plans. If this deal didn't go through, this wouldn't be over!
Qin Nan couldn't help but glance at Chen Wendong beside her. He had his head down, and his hoodie covered his face, so she couldn't see his expression.
A while later, Jiang Yue received a phone call. He awkwardly fawned over the person on the other end of the line, who then berated him mercilessly. The deal had indeed fallen through.
Jiang Yue hung up the phone and smashed it on the ground. He went outside to call for help. Lu Cheng stroked An Rui's face with some regret. It was rare to meet someone who suited his taste, but unfortunately, she had offended someone she shouldn't have.
An Rui was stripped naked and dragged into a dark room. On the wall hung whips, chains, ropes, and an iron chair. An Rui was tied to the ropes. Another door to the dark room opened, and several naked men and three dogs entered.
An Rui was awakened by being splashed with cold water. Someone was filming with a DV camera, showing the hellish scenes, from the initial gang rapes to the torture instruments being used on her body, making An Rui wish she were dead.
After being tortured, An Rui was placed in a private clinic to treat all her external injuries, and then she was pushed off the hotel balcony.
During this period, Chen Wendong was unable to contact An Rui, and his parents also made inquiries from various sources, so they temporarily overlooked Chen Yan's situation.
Chen Wendong had just learned of his daughter's death and had claimed the body, but before he could receive any results, he received a call from the police, informing him that An Rui had fallen to her death.
The elderly in the family couldn't bear the successive blows and suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. After Chen Wendong finished identifying the body, he returned to his empty home, not knowing how to cope with all this.
After the grief subsided and the funeral was held, Chen Wendong's personality changed drastically. He became addicted to alcohol, and Luo Sujuan could not persuade him otherwise. Chen Pingsheng remained silent.
But as a father, he lost his child; as a husband, he lost his wife, and he was powerless to change any of it. How could he live like a normal person?
The scene gradually blurred and disappeared, and a new scene reappeared. It was still the same torture chamber, but this time, each torture device was attached to a corpse. Everyone An Rui could see who had tortured her had been tortured to death by the same torture device.
He tried to kill Lu Cheng but was stopped by An Bei. However, An Bei could not resist his resentment, and Lu Cheng was dismembered and died.
Chen Wendong remained silent with his head bowed. His right arm had disappeared, and his feelings for his former life were fading. His soul would eventually lose everything it carried in its previous life, becoming an empty and meaningless cloud, devoid of joy, sorrow, or emotional fluctuations.
The scene continues, with Luo Sujuan looking at her increasingly depressed son and thinking about her unfortunate daughter-in-law. When Chen Yan was in junior high school, An Rui's parents died in a traffic accident. The Chen family was An Rui's home, and Luo Sujuan had always raised An Rui as her own daughter. She did not believe that An Rui would commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Luo Sujuan had never been to An Rui's company. She asked around and applied for a cleaning job at An Rui's former company. While there, she inquired about An Rui. As luck would have it, she unexpectedly discovered a video of An Rui being assaulted.
Unfortunately, she was also seen by the security guards on the surveillance camera. Luo Sujuan was sobbing and tried to copy the video from the computer, but she was knocked unconscious, tied up, and taken away overnight, where she was drowned in the Pianhai area of a neighboring city.
Fearing exposure, Jiang Yue decided to strike first, having Chen Pingsheng kidnapped and pushed off a remote cliff in the mountains. Chen Wendong, still drunk, was completely unaware of what was happening. One night, on his way home, he was kicked into an artificial lake and drowned.
That's all the truth about the past. Chen Wendong is now just a body floating in the air, his eyes are empty, and he will soon disappear.
The scene shifts to Jiang Yue and the people he hired hanging on a cliff by the sea, exposed to the wind and sun until they die. The person who pushed Chen Pingsheng off the cliff is then grabbed by Chen Wendong and thrown off a building hundreds of meters high.
Chen Wendong avenged his family, but it may have come too late. Fortunately, he never regretted his powerlessness.
Bai Hao had no way to delay Chen Wendong's dissipation. Chen Wendong had already lost consciousness. No one knew what the point was of him wanting to know about this unchangeable past, even if it meant his soul would be scattered.
Chen Wendong disappeared from the spot. With a clang, an iron plaque fell to the ground. Bai Hao slightly curled his fingers, and the token was in his hand. The black token had only one character "敕" on it.
Bai Hao put away the Time-Traveling Mirror, and the four of them returned to the front hall of the Qin residence. It all seemed like a dream, and everyone remained silent until Long Chengxiu walked in and took away the Time-Traveling Mirror and the Divine Decree.
“I’ve taken the person with me. I’ll go to the Underworld River when I have time; it always makes me feel uneasy.”
Long Chengxiu disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. The children cautiously peeked in and saw Bai Muqiu being kidnapped. Even Chi Wei kept quiet. If Long Chengxiu hadn't acted so quickly, they would have heard Bai Muqiu cursing loudly.
After Chen Qiang and An Bei finished their business, they took their leave. An Bei left with a sense of melancholy, and Chen Qiang was also preoccupied with his own thoughts.
Qin Nan looked at the vast white sky and felt very stuffy. Bai Hao stood behind him, gazing at the horizon, his pupils turning silvery-white as he explored the future and the past.
After a long while, Bai Hao withdrew his divine power, looked at Qin Nan with some curiosity, clenched his fists, but said nothing.
After hesitating for a long time, Xuan Yu finally asked, "Brother Bai Hao, has something happened to my father?"
Bai Hao seemed lost in thought, and after a while he replied, "Yes, something is going to happen to Mingchuan, but your father will be fine."
Chi Wei: "Boss, should we go to the Underworld River?"
Bai Hao: "I'll go sooner or later."
After saying that, Bai Hao turned around and went back to the backyard. Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao's back with a puzzled expression, and then looked at the little ones.
Qin Nan: "Did I... offend him?"
The kids all shook their heads in unison, absolutely not!
Qin Nan sent the kids off to play, then gently patted her chest, feeling a strange sensation.
