Downstairs, separated by a wall.

Wen Can ignored the slight noise coming from outside the door, but his secretary Fei called to tell him about Qin Wu's sudden visit.

It's two o'clock in the morning, and the boss and subordinates who have been working late or slacking off for a long time are obviously not feeling sleepy at all.

Seeing that Wen Can didn't respond at all, Secretary Fei hung up the phone quietly outside, closed the door, and continued to sit on the sofa by the door with his arms folded, listening to any movement outside at any time.

Wen Can sat in the room which had returned to silence again. No one knew what he was thinking about. He did not move for a long time, and even his eyes did not move.

He was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a camera in his hand flat on the quilt - it was the one the old gardener gave him before he came to Nangang.

At that time, he returned the diary to the old gardener, but kept the camera.

The old woman said that she had stolen this camera from Qin's house later, and even Ye Kong himself didn't know about the existence of this camera.

It’s unclear why Wen Can kept the camera and carried it with him, but he has never opened it to look at it.

until today……

He thought of the dilapidated spire that was faintly visible through the woods, of Qin Wu who walked out of the mist with a mentally ill aura, and of the diary filled with Ye Kong's difficult struggles when he was fourteen years old...

……

After sitting motionless on the bed for an hour, he finally lowered his eyes and turned on the fully charged camera.

There was a click.

As the button was gently pressed, the scene that had been stopped for a long time finally started playing again.

·

A cigarette butt with sparks was thrown to the ground and extinguished by a pair of shoes.

Then there was a cold chat.

"How to say?"

"I didn't say much. I just told her to remember the lesson and never run away again."

"Isn't she only fourteen years old? How did she escape? And why did it take the Qin family so long to find her?"

"Don't ask too much. We are just doing our job anyway." The man said, pointing upwards. "See? The camera. Boss Qin will check our results later."

The two of them then looked up.

Two ordinary but fierce-looking faces appeared in the blurry shot.

"alright."

The man, who obviously wanted to say more, took a deep breath, took a deep puff of the remaining cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, then walked to another corner of the room.

This is an empty abandoned warehouse. Judging from the remaining soil on the ground, it should be used for flowers and fertilizers.

In the corner where a pile of cardboard boxes were scattered, there was a person curled up in a box. He seemed to be asleep until the man kicked him in the face with his shoe and he woke up.

"Tsk."

Facing the girl's dazed eyes, one of the men couldn't help but say, "In the past, we always fought with adults. Even when we bullied women, we bullied those aunties at the fishing port who were more ferocious than my mother. Why did the boss give us such a job? Bullying such a young girl is really unethical."

"Wait, let me ask."

After a few words from the two, the girl seemed to come to her senses.

She sat up from the cardboard box, looked up at the two of them, and looked particularly well-behaved as she waited to hear what they said.

The two men couldn't help but squat down and look at her straight in the eyes: "Little girl, we are also paid to do this. In fact, we only need you to swear an oath - just say that from now on, you will never run away again, you will treat the Qin family as your own home, you will treat the Qin family as your own family, and you will live here peacefully and steadily in the future, and be your eldest lady peacefully and steadily - how about it? As long as you say this, we will leave immediately, and you can go back to live in the big house."

"Yes." Another one also said, "If you don't agree, not only will you be beaten, but you will also have to live in the Qin family's broken greenhouse. You know that place, right? It's overgrown with weeds, and you don't know if there are any snakes. It looks okay during the day, but it's scary at night. You might be scared to death in there."

Under the gaze of the girl's clear black and white eyes, their attitudes gradually relaxed, as if they believed that this was just a very simple task, and the tone of their speech was as if they were scaring a five or six-year-old child.

As they expected, the girl showed a frightened expression, looked at them and said, "I understand. I swear, from now on, I will never...never..."

Two tall men, about 1.80 meters tall, just squatted there, looking at her with great encouragement, waiting for her to finish speaking.

But for some reason, the girl just couldn't go on after this.

It was as if there was a terrible monster crouching there at the end of this sentence, staring at her as if it would swallow her up as soon as she said it.

"From now on, I will never...never...never...never..."

The anxious expressions of the two men gradually froze as the girl looked left and right.

After saying “never again” for who knows how many times, the expressions of the two finally solidified into a pool of cold stagnant water.

As their expressions changed, the girl finally burst out laughing.

She was trying to hold it back at first, but after a few chuckles she burst into laughter.

Sitting in the cardboard box, she looked like a crazy, beautiful but embarrassed doll: "I'm sorry, I also want to swear that I really want to escape this beating, but what can I do? What you said is so disgusting, so disgusting that my stomach is already churning before I even say it. Do you want to hear me vomiting while I talk? That's it, I swear, Yue, from now on, I will never Yue again... run away Yue... I will treat the Qin family as my own Yue - home - Yueyueyueyue - hahahahahahahahahaha -"

The girl acted strange, repeating their words while pretending to vomit, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into laughter: "What should I do? If this goes on, you will have to carry my vomit to report? Will the Qin family beat you up?"

Such an arrogant posture, such a wanton and crazy tone, and the lifelike grimaces and loud laughter - combined together, the mocking effect was simply maximized. Even an unrelated dog passing by would be angered by such a posture and would bark loudly, let alone two men with strong self-esteem facing her directly.

The next second she was slapped on the head and fell heavily on the cardboard box.

But even so, her laughter did not stop, it just turned from loud to muffled, snorting, and sounded even more sarcastic.

The expressionless thug took a breath silently, and suddenly remembered the intelligence he heard when he first received this mission - "Don't take it lightly, he is a very difficult guy. Not only did he escape from the Qin family with layers of bodyguards quietly, but he almost killed several of us during the search - he is a cruel little beast."

"You two should take turns and beat her thoroughly into submission, otherwise the Qin family will not be satisfied."

——I just turned a deaf ear to what he said at that time, and I completely forgot about it when I saw the object of the mission.

Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that the old man gave such special instructions - this guy really has a very deceptive face, and he can make an expression as cute as an angel.

But if you think about it carefully, how could a little girl who could make the Qin family ask the Huo family for professional manpower to deal with her despite the secret being leaked be really an angel?

——This should be a little devil in angel's skin.

Watching the girl struggling to get out of the cardboard box.

Her forehead was scratched by the hard corner of the cardboard box, and some blood oozed out. She also bit the corner of her mouth and it bled.

But she seemed to feel no pain. She licked the corner of her mouth and gave them a terrifying smile: "As long as you don't dare to beat me to death, sooner or later I will beat you to death."

-

Wen Can sat in the dark, staring silently at the small camera screen.

Under the dim light, his pupils had already shrunk like a beast before hunting, and it seemed as if even his breathing had stopped.
