Chapter 66 marks the beginning of the receding phase.
"This is Coconut Grove Island. My word is law. What are you afraid of?"
Li Yanzhou seemed to have lost his patience and actually stood up, walking towards her step by step.
“You were quite brave when you were running around, how come you’re so timid now?”
As he approached, the two bodyguards instinctively stepped back.
Li Yanzhou came up behind her, put one hand around her waist and the other hand around her gun, and helped her adjust her position.
The next second, the man lowered his head and whispered in her ear,
“Weiwei, I like you and indulge you, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, nor does it mean I will unconditionally tolerate your willfulness.”
"hurry up."
He urged her on, putting constant pressure on her, "If you don't make a move soon, I don't mind coming to help you."
"Waaaaah... No, no, please don't..."
Her hand holding the gun was trembling, but unfortunately, the man behind her was holding her hand tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.
Seeing her so hesitant, Li Yanzhou lost his patience, grabbed her hand, and pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out.
The man in the middle fell to the ground without making a sound, his blood splattering everywhere.
"ah!!!!!!"
At the same time, Luo Tingwei screamed.
She killed someone! She killed someone!
The next second, her legs went weak, and she was about to fall down.
But Li Yanzhou grabbed her waist, leaving her half-dead and frozen in mid-air.
"There are two more. Let's continue."
"No, no! Li Yanzhou, please, please don't treat me like this anymore, sob sob sob, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I was too willful, I shouldn't have run off like that, please forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again, I... I will definitely listen to you next time."
Luo Tingwei was truly terrified, and she cried her eyes out.
Li Yanzhou's tactic of making an example of someone to scare others was truly effective, immediately subduing her completely.
Luo Tingwei thought back and realized that she had been reckless and courting disaster every day for the past few days.
Li Yanzhou outwardly showed no resentment, doting on her in every way and accommodating her in everything; it turned out he was waiting for her here.
There was a moment of silence in the air, and Li Yanzhou did not respond to her immediately.
She was startled when she heard a movement on her face. It turned out that he was brushing the stray hairs that were damp with sweat from her forehead behind her ear.
Why are you crying?
Li Yanzhou's voice sounded very innocent, "Baby, I neither hit you nor scolded you. I just let you take revenge for yourself. You're crying so hard that it makes me feel like I'm bullying you."
This man took the opportunity to clear himself of all charges.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei hurriedly stammered, "You didn't bully me, it was...it was me, I was just too scared."
"Do you really know you were wrong?"
"I understand, I really understand."
Li Yanzhou gave a light "hmm" and waved his hand. Soon, someone came forward and dragged away the corpse on the ground, along with two other people.
In the torture chamber, only he and she remained, and the silence was terrifying.
Luo Tingwei was still in shock and didn't understand why he wanted to stay there.
Li Yanzhou looked around, seemingly taking in every detail of the scene.
The next second, he spoke to her as if explaining something.
"Weiwei, this is the torture chamber, a place to punish bad people. Isn't it scary? You need to know that my job is very dangerous. To put it bluntly, there are quite a few people who want me dead, so it's inevitable that this kind of place will exist."
"You are my darling, I love you and care about you, but as time goes by, it's inevitable that some people will have bad intentions and try to control me by targeting you."
"Of course, as long as I'm here, I will protect you well. But if you act recklessly and disregard your own safety, then it won't just be you who gets hurt, but me too. If that happens, all I can do is restrain you, not protect you. Do you understand what I mean?"
The voice, filled with suppression and warning, combined with the gloomy and cold torture chamber, was enough to intimidate Luo Tingwei, who was already in a state of fear.
"I see."
Luo Tingwei truly knew she was wrong; her lips trembled as she spoke, "I won't do it again. You, you believe me."
Seeing that she had become obedient, Li Yanzhou rewarded her by gently stroking her cheek, his voice softening.
"I hope you truly understand."
After leaving the torture chamber, Luo Tingwei seemed like a completely different person, becoming much more restrained.
This incident served as a powerful reminder that she should not forget Li Yanzhou's identity.
Just because this man occasionally acts like a dog doesn't mean we should forget that he is actually a wolf.
In the evening, it was time for dinner again.
Luo Tingwei ate her food clean, just like a primary school student, without being picky at all.
Li Yanzhou glanced at her, finding it somewhat amusing, and reminded her,
"Don't force yourself. If it's not to your liking, you can still order it by air."
He was referring to air transport, specifically helicopter delivery.
"No, no, no, it's delicious."
Luo Tingwei immediately shook her head.
Li Yanzhou picked up a handkerchief and elegantly wiped his hands, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"I never expected that this afternoon's trip would actually cure your picky eating."
"How about we go a few more times in the future and see what bad habits we can cure?"
Luo Tingwei panicked upon hearing this, "No... I won't go."
Li Yanzhou stopped teasing her. "Just kidding. You won't have the chance to go even if you want to. We're leaving in a few days."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Back to Black City?"
"Yes, I'm sure you're looking forward to going back too."
Li Yanzhou stood up, seemingly busy with something. "I have some things to take care of tonight, so I won't sleep with you. You stay in your room and get some rest."
After saying that, he walked towards the study.

That night.
Luo Tingwei, however, suffered from insomnia.
Thunder rumbled outside, in bursts.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, streaks of startling purple light flashed.
She was so frightened by what had happened in the torture chamber that afternoon that she couldn't sleep.
When she closed her eyes, all she could see were the three human pigs with their limbs severed, and the corpse lying on the ground, its blood splattered everywhere.
Li Yanzhou really scared her this time.
Bad man!
"Hmm..."
Luo Tingwei buried her head in the blanket, trying to dispel the dark images in her mind, but it was no use.
Then, another clap of thunder struck.
"ah!"
Luo Tingwei shuddered, her body trembling violently.
