I made the villain right.

As night falls, everything becomes quiet.

Outside a dilapidated house in Beiming Village, the sound of insects chirping could be heard rising and falling.

The night wind picked up again, bringing with it a chill, and a ray of cold moonlight shone into the room through the window.

There were three fire pots placed in the middle of the room. The burning fire illuminated the dim room. Two men were sitting around the fire pots.

In a corner of the room, there was a woman with her hands and feet tied up with iron chains, curled up on the cold floor, looking as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.

Her brows were furrowed, and her pale face gradually became lifeless, as if she had been suffering from illness for a long time, which caused her complexion to be pale and bloodless.

Man A suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the woman, as if he had thought of something, and asked in confusion: "That woman has been silent, could she be dead?"

Shi Jin has been in a coma for a day and a night since he was captured, and seems to be in critical condition.

Man B responded: "That won't work. She's a hostage now. Mr. Xiao specifically asked me to keep an eye on her."

Man B rushed forward to check. He felt Shi Jin's breath and found that she was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She is still breathing."

When his eyes were fixed on Shi Jin's pretty face, he couldn't help but look at her. There was no expression on the woman's pale face, and her delicate and beautiful facial features were like a lifeless doll that would break at the slightest touch, which made people feel pity for her.

Man B's eyes were filled with greed and desire.

Man B thought of Shi Jin's situation and couldn't help but lament, "She was so beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a beauty who brings disaster. She won't live long."

Man A saw Man B admiring Shi Jin's beauty, sighing and looking regretful, and couldn't help but teasing him: "Why, are you attracted to her? You're so hungry that you're not picky about food."

Man A thought about the instructions from his superiors, so he kindly reminded his companion: "You'd better not touch this woman. After this is done, I will take you to Zuixianju and guarantee that you will be drunk and dreamless."

Man A made big promises, but his companions didn't buy it.

Man B glared at Man A in dissatisfaction and said unhappily: "I didn't plan to do anything, I just wanted to see why you are meddling in this!"

Man A didn't want to pay attention to him and said casually: "It's up to you, watch as long as you want."

The two were so busy arguing that they didn't notice that Shi Jin had woken up.

Man B lowered his head and was about to stretch out his sinful hand to touch Shi Jin's face, but he was frightened by Shi Jin's cold eyes. Those eyes, like a cold pond, revealed an anger and murderous intent that was difficult to conceal, as if if he dared to do anything improper to her, she would die with him.

He was so scared that he didn't dare to move. The next second, Shi Jin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splashed onto his hands.

Man B stepped back in astonishment, as if he was afraid of being stained by something dirty. He looked at the black blood that had stained him and quickly wiped it off with his sleeve.

He looked at Shi Jin with disgust and cursed: "What bad luck!"

Shi Jin was awakened by the pain. He was still a little confused when he woke up. He heard their conversation and was so angry that he vomited blood.

Now, hearing that the man in front of her had failed in his evil plans and was instead cursing her with disgust for being unlucky, she wanted to get up and twist his skull off.

However, she was in so much pain that her whole body was numb. She could only lie on the ground helplessly, unable to move, and could only stare at the man in front of her with resentment.

Shi Jin felt as if her heart was pierced by a sharp knife and then burned on fire. The pain in her heart had spread to her limbs, and her limbs felt like they were being pricked by needles. The pain was so severe that beads of sweat covered her forehead. She could only bite the corners of her lips tightly, and tears flowed from her eyes one by one.

At this moment, she felt like she was about to die.

Man A saw the commotion and rushed forward to check. When he saw Shi Jin wake up, he told Man B, "Take good care of her. I'll go find Mr. Xiao."

When Shi Jin heard Mr. Xiao, she was shocked. Not only was Xiao Hong not dead, but he also captured her.

The man walked out of the room, and only Shi Jin and Man B were left. The room suddenly became quiet, and Man B sat back in his seat obediently.

After a few minutes, Shi Jin felt that her hands and feet could move, so she struggled to sit up despite the severe pain and glanced around the room.

Shi Jin recalled what happened that day. She vomited blood and fainted for no apparent reason. She still doesn't understand how she suddenly became such a miserable person.

The pain in her body made her realize that she was poisoned, but she had no idea when she was poisoned.

Looking at the current situation, she guessed that it was the woman who poisoned Ge. Perhaps she poisoned Ge when she was not paying attention while they were fighting. It was not impossible.

She suddenly disappeared, and A-Yu and the others must be desperately looking for her.

The pain in her body kept clamoring, as if reminding her that she wouldn't live long.

At this moment, she felt not only fear but also reluctance. She was afraid that she would die quietly. She had not had the time to say goodbye to Shi Wei and Shi Sheng. Fan Hua confessed to her, but she had not given him an answer.

Thinking of this, the pain in her heart worsened. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and try to calm herself down as much as possible.

She withdrew her thoughts and asked softly, "Where is this place?"

Man B glanced at her and said casually: "Beiming Village"

At this time, a person wearing a veiled hat came to the door, and she knew who it was without thinking.

When Man B saw Xiao Hong coming, he politely took his chair over and asked Xiao Hong to sit down.

"How did you fake your death to get away with it?"

When Xiao Hong saw that Shi Jin already knew his identity, he was stunned, so he simply took off his veil.

"I took a fake death pill. People who take it look like dead people. Then I bribed the prison boss to prepare poisoned food for me, creating the illusion of murder and silencing people. Naturally, no one would find out."

After solving her doubts, Xiao Hong looked down at her with a mocking smile on his face, and said, "Last time we met, Shi Jin was so heroic that I admired him. How come you have become like this after not seeing you for a few days?"

The smile in his eyes was so obvious that he almost wanted to carve the word "satisfied" on his face.

Shi Jin didn't have the energy to fight him and could only glare at him fiercely.

She clenched her palms tightly, endured the huge pain, kept her mind clear, took a breath, and asked, "What poison did you give me?"

When Xiao Hong saw that Shi Jin thought he was the one who poisoned him, he laughed in a low voice, as if he heard a joke.

Shi Jin found this very irritating. She was puzzled and felt bewildered by his smile.

After a moment, Xiao Hong put away his wanton smile and answered her doubts, "I didn't give you this poison, but this poison is called the Heart-Eating Poison. Zhao Xuan once asked me for a bottle, and I guess I used it on you."

Hearing this, Jin suddenly remembered what Zhao Xuan said, "I left a gift for you."

She was puzzled at the time and did not take it to heart, but now it seems that the gift Zhao Xuan was talking about was this heart-eating poison.

Thinking of this, her heart was deep and complicated. Helplessly, she pulled her lips, a bitter smile spread from the corners of her lips, and she sighed softly: "She really took great pains to put me to death."

Shi Jin stared at Xiao Hong and asked again: "What is your purpose in arresting me here? It's not just to tell me Fan Hua's identity, right?"

Her forehead was covered with blood, and her voice was weak and trembling. It was obvious that she was enduring the pain.

Seeing that she had probably guessed his intention, Xiao Hong couldn't help but cast an admiring look at her and exclaimed: "Miss Shi is smart. The real purpose of my arresting you is to take you as a hostage."

Shi Jin frowned. Who is he going to threaten with me? Dad or Big Brother? Or Ayu?

She hated being a tool and hated being used by others to threaten the people she cared about.

Shi Jin sat quietly, saying nothing, but the palm of his hand hidden under his sleeve had been scratched by her and bled.

Xiao Hong was displeased when he saw Shi Jin's calm expression. He wanted to make Shi Jin suffer, and making her suffer was equivalent to making Fan Hua suffer.

So in order to stimulate her, Xiao Hong said, "Miss Shi, you may not know this, but your husband is not a businessman. He is the feared leader of Fengyun Pavilion, Fan Hua, who kills people without blinking an eye."

After hearing this shocking news, Shi Jin's body suddenly froze, his heart beating violently, and he showed an expression of disbelief.

Ah Yu is the leader of Fengyun Pavilion! Isn't that the villain?

Although she had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she learned the truth.

Seeing Shi Jin's shocked expression, Xiao Hong pretended to pity her, but there was always a smile in his eyes. He said, "You are also a pitiful person. You were deceived by him."

Shi Jin ignored his words and fell into silence.

During the time that Shi Jin and Fan Hua were together, she could feel how good he was to her.

In fact, what she cared about was not his identity, but his sincerity towards her.

Now that she has been tortured by the heart-eating poison into such a miserable state, it is even questionable whether she can survive. It seems meaningless to consider these issues.

But she didn't want to become a bargaining chip to threaten him.

There was a long silence, and Shi Jin suddenly laughed, his smile seemed to contain mockery and hopelessness.

When Xiao Hong saw her inexplicably smiling, his face froze. Shi Jin's reaction was beyond his expectations and he was puzzled.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Hong asked with a stiff face.

Shi Jin stopped laughing immediately, stared at him coldly, and said, "I laugh at your naivety, but since you already know what kind of person he is, you still dare to use me as a hostage to threaten him. Are you sure he can go into this tiger's den to save me?"

Xiao Hong's face turned a little ugly, and he said excitedly: "You are his wife, he will save you"

Shi Jin suddenly frowned, and then he coughed twice uncomfortably, his face became paler, he took a breath, forced out a cold smile, and questioned him: "Can you believe what you said?"

Xiao Hong stared at her intently, trying to read her inner thoughts through her expression. Seeing Shi Jin mocking him and the words he said, he felt a little shaken and began to doubt whether his thoughts were wrong.

Xiao Hong's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he raised his voice and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" His voice was tinged with a hint of worry.

"To tell you the truth, I pretended to marry Fan Hua in order not to marry Xu Wuchen. Fan Hua and I were just playing around and there was no love at all. Do you think he would risk his life to save me?" Shi Jin said excitedly, his voice a little breathless.

When Xiao Hong heard this, his face showed surprise at first, then turned pale and blue, looking a little creepy.

He stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth as if at a loss.

After a moment, he seemed to have come to his senses and suddenly became calm.

He pulled a wicked smile at the corner of his lips, looked at him and said: "Whether he comes to save you or not is not up to you. It depends on the result tomorrow. If he comes, I will make sure he never comes back."

At this moment, Shi Jin seemed unable to bear it and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. The pain in her heart kept pulling her nerves and made her head dizzy. She clutched her chest tightly with her right hand.

Seeing that Shi Jin looked like she was about to die, Xiao Hong suddenly squatted down, took out a pill from his sleeve, pinched her chin to force her to open her mouth, then quickly stuffed the pill into her mouth and asked her to swallow it.

Shi Jin was choked by his sudden and rough action and coughed violently, as if she wanted to spit out her heart.

After a pause, she said weakly, "What did you give me to eat?"

"A medicine that can relieve your pain, and you have to live until tomorrow." After saying this, he turned and left, and the two men on guard followed closely behind him, locking the door.

At this moment, Shi Jin's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she fell to the ground as if collapsed. Her eyes were filled with tears, and hot tears silently slid down her cheeks.

Shi Jin could no longer tell whether she was crying out of pain or out of sadness.

She didn't know how long she lay there, and her tears had long since dried up.

Perhaps the medicine Xiao Hong prescribed just now had taken effect. Shi Jin felt that the pain in her body had eased. She slowly sat up and stared at the moonlight outside the dilapidated window in a trance.

Will he come to rescue her tomorrow?

She had no idea about this issue either.

But she had two conflicting thoughts in her mind. One was that she hoped he could come and save her. If he came, it would mean that he had her in his heart.

One is that he hopes he won't come, because Xiao Hong will set up many ambushes here to deal with him, and he might never come back.

After a moment, Shi Jin seemed to come to her senses suddenly. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.

General's Mansion.

In the hazy night, there is a figure dancing with a sword.

Fan Hua couldn't fall asleep, so he practiced sword skills alone. Each move he made was filled with violence. Wherever the sword energy went, there were scars. A crack of more than ten meters long appeared on the hard ground.

This night was long and torturous for two people who cared about each other.
