Listen to the rumbling sound – the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground.
Because the room was dimly lit, it was only vaguely visible that what was being pushed up was a cross.
A person was bound to that cross.
As it swayed, the crisp sound of chains rubbing against each other could be heard.
The man had his head bowed, as if he were asleep.
Su Yan gripped the cup and moved her hand slightly.
Through the dim light, I tried to see clearly the person on the cross.
I don't know who spoke.
"Lights on"
Then, snap snap snap, all the lights came on from all directions.
Under the blinding light, the person bound to the cross finally saw clearly—Quan Ci.
His eyes were lowered, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.
She slept with him last night, but when they met again this afternoon, she noticed he had lost a lot of weight.
Su Yan tightened her grip on the cup.
Then, without saying a word, he walked over to the man called Mr. Wang.
Watching him finish almost all of his champagne.
Su Yan gave President Wang a harmless and innocent smile.
He handed over the champagne.
President Wang glanced at Su Yan and burst into laughter.
He seemed to have long been used to being surrounded and served by beautiful women, and didn't feel anything was wrong. He took the champagne glass and handed her the empty one.
Turning back to chat with the guy called Brother Long
"Isn't this Quan Ci? So what if he's capable? He still got caught by me, didn't he?"
With that, Mr. Wang raised his glass and downed the champagne in one gulp.
Su Yan stood in front of the cross, looking at Quan Ci.
Those who had been talking scattered to the side quickly gathered in front of the cross.
Just like admiring prey, he looked it up and down.
They seemed to know each other well; one of them spoke, his eyes conveying a subtle meaning.
"Mr. Wang, who is this young man? He's quite the beauty."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone could hear the hidden thoughts in his voice.
Then, bursts of laughter filled the air.
The person who had been tied to the cross and hadn't moved opened his eyes slowly after hearing these words.
A pair of peach blossom eyes, deep and mysterious, swept over the person who spoke.
I don't know why, even though he's just a good-looking kid.
But when he stared at me, I always felt a chill run down my spine, as if maggots were clinging to my bones.
Moreover, that person's aura was different after he woke up.
He was clearly the prey to be observed. His thin, cool lips curled up, his eyebrows and eyes slightly raised, as he leaned against the cross, utterly languid and utterly decadent.
It was as if this was his home turf, and he was the master of this place.
His eyes glanced over unintentionally and happened to see Su Yan standing obediently in front of him, holding an empty champagne glass.
His gaze paused for a moment, then wandered away.
His eyes were indifferent, as if no one here could catch his eye.
Brother Long held the champagne glass, looking somewhat uneasy.
"Mr. Wang, you...you brought him here, are you planning to..."
The voice was hesitant.
The guy called Boss Wang laughed heartily.
"Don't worry, everyone here today is one of my trusted confidants."
As he spoke, Mr. Wang glanced at Quan Ci and snorted coldly.
"You won't do arms business with me? I don't care who you're with, you're dead!"
The reason he brought Quan Ci here was to make an example of him.
Mr. Wang gestured to one of the men beside him, a man in black holding a black pistol.
Slowly approaching the power of resignation.
