Somewhere in the darkness, thunder rumbled outside the window. Huge lightning bolts wantonly moved about like silver snakes in the dark sky, bringing in raindrops from the narrow skylight and landing on a person's face. Through the light of the lightning, one could faintly see a sinister red color on the person's face.

As the rain dripped onto his face, the cold and moist sensation caused Li Jin's consciousness to gather together bit by bit.

The surroundings were dark, but this kind of environment didn't mean much to him. When he was young, he often trained in this kind of environment, so he was already used to it.

Looking around, he sat on the ground. It seemed to be a basement, the only exit being the locked door and the small window with the fence open above it. Moreover, he felt that there were at least ten people guarding outside. With his current condition, there was no way he could escape.

His whole body was weak, and his allergic reaction had not yet subsided. Furthermore, his legs and knees were in pain, but his calves were completely numb.

Li Jin calmly judged that his leg should have been broken. This technique could not injure one's muscles and bones, but it could prevent one from moving freely. It was probably just to prevent him from escaping.

His hair was loose and stuck to his face. His face was burning. He was feeling uncomfortable and probably had a fever.

He was still too careless. He lazily leaned against the wall. This time, he really fell head first.

Honestly speaking, he did not have much regret or anger. Of course, he knew that Song Yu would not let him die just like that, if he was still alive, he still had chips to negotiate with. His life was about to come to an end.

However, thinking about it, it is good to die just like that. He is already tired of this kind of boring life … If he were to die just like that, at least so many people would be willing to accompany him in death.

Just as Li Jin was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. She arrogantly waved her furry claws and looked at him while baring his fangs and brandishing her claws. Your life is mine! Do you dare to die without my permission?

He felt a bit regretful. Although he couldn't be considered a good person in this life, he still kept his word. The only thing he could do was promise to stay with her, and he would not keep his promise.

Suddenly, there were light footsteps at the door, followed by a gentle female voice. It was An Bai.

An Bai kept her umbrella and spoke to the guard: "My fellow guards, thank you for your hard work. Uncle has something to talk to you all about.

The Uncle Song that An Bai spoke of was Song Yu's trusted aide, and was also the elder in charge of most of the Song Family. The guards looked at each other in confusion. It was already so late, why was their boss looking for them?

Seeing that they did not believe him, An Bai added, "I see that Uncle Song is extremely anxious, why don't you all go over and take a look."

The few of them still believed An Bai's words deeply. The boss always dotes on Miss An, maybe it was because of some important matters, the boss would send her to inform them so late. However, the head guard had also told him not to leave … Therefore, a man hesitantly said, "But, the people who are locked up here …" Who will come to see us? "

An Bai thought for a moment, then said to them: "How about this, I will temporarily help you guys out for a while, when you come back I will return, what do you think?"

The man thought about it and decided that it would be okay, since the key was in his hand and the man in the dungeon had his leg broken, so he wouldn't be able to run away. He nodded, "Then I'll be troubling Miss An. We'll be back soon."

An Bai was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out, but she maintained her smile: "Okay, come back quickly."

After waiting for the few men's figures to quickly disappear into the corridor, An Bai took out a key from within her clothes. With trembling fingers, he opened the huge padlock on the door, pushed open the door, and shone her cell phone into the light, searching for the man. "Mr. Li, Mr. Li? Are you alright, Mister Li? "

Li Jin silently watched her as she walked in. He reached out his hand to her while whispering to her anxiously, "Come with me, I've lured them away, but we don't have much time. They'll be back soon!"

He leaned against the wall without making a sound. He had heard everything that was happening outside clearly. Li Jin asked softly. "Why did you help me escape? Don't you know that if I go out, something will happen to your uncle?"

An Bai's eyes turned away for a moment. His body was completely hidden in the darkness, only her silhouette was left. Lightning flashed outside the window and she could barely hear his voice.

"There's no reason. I just feel very sorry. It was clearly something I proposed, yet you did it and I did not do it." She didn't know why she wanted to save him, but she was probably feeling guilty.

As for Uncle, he … No matter how she tried to dissuade him, she refused to listen. Thinking about her father's cold and resentful gaze and her mother's angry and unwilling howls, An Bai's eyes dimmed.

In the past, she had always thought that her life was blissful, but today, she realized that her so-called happiness was simply a castle made of paper, unable to withstand even the slightest bit of the rain and wind of reality.

In addition, it was true that her uncle had done those things, and that he had first broken their promise. As a result, she was no longer able to speak of them, and could only ask the person before her to let him go.

No matter what kind of fate he would suffer, it could be considered to be what he deserved … After all, when his uncle chose to do those things, he should have known what would happen to him.

"I'm sorry, please come with me. I will send you out of here …" She bowed deeply towards Li Jin.

"Heh …"

Li Jin looked at her and cut her off with a chuckle. He spoke coldly, "My leg is broken, so I'm afraid I can't walk. Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss An. You should leave as soon as possible."

He didn't need anyone's help. Whether it was guilt or sympathy, it had nothing to do with him.

An Bai felt even more guilty and embarrassed, but she still walked forward and tried her best to help him up: "No, I'll definitely send you out." Uncle Zhang was still waiting at the entrance after she had arranged for the ingredients to be delivered to the manor. Moreover, her uncle's people would soon notice that something was amiss and return, so she had to be quick!

Although Li Jin looked skinny and weak, but he was really heavy. An Bai gritted his teeth and used all his strength to help him up, allowing him to lean against his shoulder as he half carried him to walk forward.

Leaving the room, she supported Li Jin and with difficulty walked towards the left while being drenched in the rain. They soon followed a remote road that was hidden by the trees.
