The light above his head was suddenly blocked, and a shadow descended.

Pei Luoyi was curled up in an iron cage that couldn't be considered large, and she laughed out loud, "Madame …" Are you going back on your word? "

That day, she agreed to leave the man's side and accepted her conditions … However, she could feel that she had changed her mind after the treatment she had received these past few days.

After two or three days without any water dripping, Pei Luoyi was now in a severely dehydrated state. She was almost at her limit as she was still able to retain a bit of consciousness.

Old Mistress Gong looked down at the woman's bloodless face and gave two cold sneers before saying, "That's right, I've gone back on my word. It seems like you've already sensed it."

"What a pity," she said, supporting herself with the chair and sitting back down. The huge parasol blocked the sun from the outside, "If you land in my hands, even if I go back on my word, what can you do to me?"

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips. She didn't even have the strength to support her eyelids anymore. Under the scorching sun, her consciousness seemed to become more and more lax, and it was difficult to concentrate.

"I naturally can't do anything …" She slowly spoke, and with every sentence, her consciousness became increasingly shallow, and if she did not pay any attention, she would sink back into the endless darkness. She continued, "But I have already promised you that I will not appear in front of him.

"No."

Pei Luoyi only heard the old man's voice suddenly turn cold as he was powerless to say anything else.

"Miss Pei, you are quite lucky. I've never been so interested in a woman in all these years, but you …" "You probably don't know, for the past few days, it could be said that he exhausted all his methods to find you. In the end, he really couldn't do anything about it and agreed to marry Zhizhi to me."

"It's also because he was willing to make such a huge sacrifice for you, that makes me have a whole new level of respect for him. It also makes me realize that if you're that indispensable to him, with his personality, he would definitely not let you go."

"So …" "I arranged for him to mistake you for being at the airport. I think he'll come right after the wedding, and by then, you'll be one of the secrets in the Thousand-island Lake."

Although Pei Luoyi had already faintly sensed what she was about to do, he still opened his eyes in shock when he heard the words coming from her mouth.

She wanted to... To sink her...

Behind him, his back was stiff with a chill that rose from the bottom of his feet.

She hit the incomparably hard cage with all her might, not caring about the pain where her bones were about to break, and her pair of big eyes were filled with fear and anger.

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for looking down on human life? In the dead of night, are you not afraid of a pair of eyes peeking at you from the darkness, causing you to be unable to sleep or eat in peace? "

The fear of imminent death made her speak so much in one breath, but as she finished speaking, a new wave of fear engulfed her entire body.

Old Mistress Gong quietly listened to what she had to say and covered her face as she laughed twice. Her expression did not seem to care at all. "If I was scared, then I would have been scared decades ago. But after so many years have passed, I am still alive and well, so how would I have had your retribution?"

"Reality is like this, good people die early, while bad people die endlessly. In this world, only money has the right to be the truth, how could someone of your age and background understand it."

When Pei Luoyi saw the calmness and the pride of a superior, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing that, Old Mistress Gong turned back and looked at her with cold eyes, a dim light flowing in her eyes. "What are you laughing at?"

Perhaps she felt that no matter what happened today, she would not be able to escape this calamity. Her voice carried a bit of a casual tone, "I'm laughing at you, you treat ignorance as fearlessness, and the law might not be able to punish you. However, in the cycle of life and death, so what if you exhaust all of your means?" What you hold firmly in your hands, one day, you will lose. "

Pei Luoyi's original intention was that no one would bring these names and authority into the tomb. However, the moment she said those words, the listeners seemed to automatically join in.

Old Mistress Gong's expression suddenly changed, as though she was unable to accept the reality of the situation and abruptly stood up from her seat.

With a gloomy face, she ordered the few men who were standing to the side, "Throw her down for me."

Pei Luoyi's pupils constricted before she quickly regained her composure.

Dying too early or too late. It didn't seem to make any difference.

No one would come to save her, and no one would discover that she was sinking to the bottom of the lake …

Life was too long, to the point where Pei Luoyi had not yet come into contact with the issue of death. But today, under the unexpected circumstances, she was facing death for the first time.

If she could choose to live once, where would she choose to be buried …

The men lifted the cages and walked effortlessly to the reef by the lake.

This bumpy feeling did not feel good for Pei Luoyi. She simply closed her eyes and felt the warmth of the sunlight.

It felt good to be alive, but if he really had to choose a place to die quietly.

Then let's go to the beach.

At least the sea was vast and free.

The lakewater, which was filled with a cool feeling, gradually seeped into her body. It was only a few seconds later, but Pei Luoyi sank down into the water along with the iron cage holding her down.

When the lake water flowed into his mouth and nose, memories that he had clearly forgotten rushed into his mind. That suffocating helplessness and helplessness was once again clearly displayed.

But this time, no one would save her.

Instinctively, she struggled, but the air in her lungs quickly turned from her mouth into a string of bubbles that rose to the surface of the lake.

The feeling of suffocation enveloped her.

Within a second, the feeling of death permeated his entire body.

At some point, the falling force had suddenly stopped. She slightly opened her eyes, and even though the visibility of the lake was very low, she was still able to recognize that face in the shortest amount of time.

Even before the tears had completely seeped out, they had become a part of the lake.

Zhang He was the only name left on her lips.

[Gong Yan.]

[I'm here.]

The moment she regained her breath, Pei Luoyi violently coughed out the water in her chest out of her body.

Townsend stood on the reef by the lake, one hand wrapped in a black rope, the end of which rested on the edge of the cage. With his other hand, he helped the man floating on the surface of the lake.

He pushed away his outstretched hand and bent over, gasping for breath. He motioned for Townsend to look in the direction of the woman. "Open the cage."
