Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan's rage instantly burned even more fiercely, he gnashed his teeth and roared: "Lin Yu, Lin Yu, you actually want to use your own death to win Shen Jingyan's love for you, it's simply wishful thinking! I will never let you succeed, I will make you wish you could neither live nor die, and make you taste the pain!" After that, Jiang Xiyan waved his hand and ordered the men beside him to drag Lin Yu to the basement of the villa.

Seeing Lin Yu being forcibly taken away, Shen Jingyan was extremely anxious. She tried desperately to break free and chase after Lin Yu, shouting, "Jiang Xiyan, let him go!" However, no matter how she struggled, she could not get rid of the strong control of Jiang Xiyan's men. In desperation, Shen Jingyan could only yell at Jiang Xiyan, "Jiang Xiyan, you crazy devil! What do you want to do? Why do you have to torture us like this?"

Jiang Xiyan turned around abruptly, his eyes revealing a frightening madness. He stared at Shen Jingyan, as if he wanted to pierce through her with his eyes, and said coldly: "Torture? This has just begun. As long as you don't give up on him, I will make him suffer."

After Shen Jingyan heard this, tears rushed out like a flood. She collapsed on the ground in despair, her body shaking uncontrollably. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her heart filled with helplessness and fear, and she had no idea how to save Lin Yu.

At the same time, Lin Yu, who was dragged to the basement, was being tortured by Jiang Xiyan's men. He was tied to the pillar with a thick rope, and his body was covered with shocking scars, and some places were still bleeding. But his eyes were still firm, and his love for Shen Jingyan had never wavered. He clenched his teeth tightly, and even though the pain made his forehead covered with sweat, he didn't say a word.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Shen Jingyan was restless in the room, like an ant on a hot pot. She paced back and forth anxiously, racking her brains to think of a solution. Suddenly, she thought of a person - Ye Chen. Maybe Ye Chen could persuade Jiang Xiyan to let Lin Yu go.

Shen Jingyan hurriedly found her phone and dialed Ye Chen's number with trembling fingers. On the other end of the phone, Ye Chen was silent for a moment after hearing Shen Jingyan's crying. Then, he slowly said, "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee success."

Ye Chen found Jiang Xiyan quickly. He slightly frowned his thick and heroic eyebrows, and said solemnly with a serious expression: "Xiyan, you really went too far this time! Love is something that cannot be forced. You are so stubborn and will only push Jingyan further away!"

However, in the face of Ye Chen's earnest persuasion, Jiang Xiyan was like a cold sculpture, motionless. His originally deep and charming eyes became extremely cold at this moment, staring straight ahead without any warmth, and he said coldly: "Humph, he dared to set his sights on my woman, then he must pay a painful price for it!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and continued to persuade him earnestly: "Xi Yan, if you continue to be so stubborn, you will be the only one who suffers in the end. It is better to stop and learn to let go. Perhaps this is the best ending for everyone."

However, Jiang Xiyan remained unmoved, and even became a little impatient. He suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest and responded in a stiff and threatening tone: "I will never let that Lin Yu go! Ye Chen, if you still consider me a friend, then don't get involved here and mind your own business!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a mixture of disappointment and anger in his heart, but he finally suppressed his emotions and finally said, "Jiang Xiyan, I have said everything I need to say. You should think carefully about what choice to make. I have important things to attend to, so I will leave first!" After that, he turned around and left, leaving Jiang Xiyan standing there alone, emitting a chill that made people dare not approach him easily.

After Ye Chen left, Jiang Xiyan stood there alone, his anger and entanglement intertwined. He recalled Ye Chen's words, and his heart couldn't help but waver a little.

At this time, Lin Yu, who was locked in the basement, was a little fuzzy, but his love for Shen Jingyan kept him awake. His lips were chapped and the wounds on his body were still aching, but his eyes were still firmly looking at the entrance of the basement, as if he was expecting Shen Jingyan to appear.

Shen Jingyan was anxiously waiting for news from Ye Chen in her room. She clasped her hands tightly together, feeling anxious. As time passed, there was still no response from Ye Chen, and her heart became heavier and heavier.

Just when Shen Jingyan was about to despair, she suddenly thought of a way. She decided to go to Jiang Xiyan in person and use her actions to persuade him to let Lin Yu go.

Shen Jingyan stood in front of Jiang Xiyan's door, clenched her fists nervously, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up all her courage, raised her hand and gently pushed open the closed door.

The moment the door opened, a chill hit me in the face, and what came into view was Jiang Xiyan's lonely and indifferent back. He stood quietly in front of the window, the sunlight shone on him through the window, but it could not warm his cold heart.

Shen Jingyan looked at the familiar yet strange figure, and her heart trembled involuntarily. Although she was filled with fear and uneasiness, she gritted her teeth and walked forward when she thought of the imprisoned Lin Yu.

"Jiang Xiyan, I beg you, please let Lin Yu go!" Shen Jingyan's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of pleading, but at the same time it also revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Xiyan slowly turned around. His deep eyes were fixed on Shen Jingyan's tearful face, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Do you really... love him this much?" Jiang Xiyan's voice was low and suppressed, as if it contained endless pain and unwillingness.

Facing Jiang Xiyan's questioning, Shen Jingyan raised her head slightly, tears blurring her vision, but she still answered stubbornly: "Jiang Xiyan, who do I love? Is it still so important now?"

For a moment, the air was filled with a suffocating silence. Jiang Xiyan stared at Shen Jingyan, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. Suddenly, as if he had lost his mind, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Jingyan, dragging her to the basement.

"Okay, since you want to see him so much, I will let you get your wish!" Jiang Xiyan said as he dragged Shen Jingyan and walked quickly, every step seemed to be filled with anger and despair.

Shen Jingyan was dragged all the way to the basement by Jiang Xiyan. When she saw Lin Yu, who was covered in wounds and unconscious, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She broke free from Jiang Xiyan's hand and threw herself beside Lin Yu, tears pouring out like a flood.

"Lin Yu! Wake up!" Shen Jingyan's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the dead silence. Her hands trembled slightly, and she gently shook Lin Yu's lifeless body, as if this could wake him up from his deep sleep. Tears poured out of her beautiful eyes like a flood, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto Lin Yu's scarred and bloodstained face.

At this time, Shen Jingyan had long lost her former dignity and elegance, and fell into extreme panic and despair. Her fingers trembled as she touched Lin Yu's face, which was once sunny and handsome, but now unrecognizable. Every wound was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart fiercely. The heartache made her almost unable to breathe.

Jiang Xiyan, who was standing aside, stared at the scene in front of him quietly. His eyes were extremely complicated, with anger at Lin Yu's experience, and strong jealousy when he saw Shen Jingyan was so sad for Lin Yu, but more of it was a deep helplessness and determination, without the slightest regret.

"Is he so worthy of you that you are so sad for him?" Jiang Xiyan finally couldn't help but speak. His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing countless emotions. However, behind these seemingly calm words, there was a trace of imperceptible pain.

Hearing Jiang Xiyan's words, Shen Jingyan slowly raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. At this moment, her eyes were full of resentment and disappointment. She hugged Lin Yu tightly, fearing that he would leave her if she let go. In this endless darkness, her crying sounded particularly miserable: "Jiang Xiyan, how could you become so cruel now? Have you forgotten the good times we had? Why do you treat Lin Yu like this? What did he do wrong..."

Jiang Xiyan's cold eyes pierced Shen Jingyan like a cold sword, as if he wanted to see through her. He pursed his lips tightly, and his facial lines were as stiff as if they were carved, with no expression.

"The only thing he did wrong was to cling to you recklessly like a moth to a flame, naively fantasizing that he could get your true love and make this love last a lifetime!" Jiang Xiyan's voice was as cold as ice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with strong sarcasm and disdain.

Shen Jingyan's body was shaking violently. She glared at Jiang Xiyan, her voice sharp with anger and grief. "Jiang Xiyan, do you think you can keep me by your side like this? You are wrong! Your cruelty will only make me hate you even more!"

At this time, the basement was dim and damp, and the weak light was swaying, barely illuminating this cramped space. The mottled marks on the wall seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time, and some old debris piled up in the corners were covered with dust. The ground was damp and cold, and Lin Yu was tied tightly to the pillar with a rough rope. The scars on his body looked even more shocking in the dim light. The blood had dried up, showing a dark red mark.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes darkened slightly, and a trace of pain flashed across his face, but it was quickly covered up by indifference. "So what if I hate you? At least you are still where I can see you. And he, never think of getting close to you again."

"You are totally unreasonable!" Shen Jingyan shouted, "Lin Yu loves me and has never hurt me. And you use such a cruel way to hurt us."

Jiang Xiyan's mouth curled up in a mocking arc. "Love? What can his love give you? Wealth? Status? Or protection? He can't give you anything."

"You don't understand what love is!" Shen Jingyan hugged Lin Yu tightly, tears falling continuously, "Love is selfless devotion, companionship, and understanding. But you only have the desire for possession and control."

Jiang Xiyan's face became even gloomier. He took a step forward and looked down at Shen Jingyan and Lin Yu. In this gloomy basement, his figure seemed particularly cold. "Even if you are right, so what? I will not let go. You will always be mine."

Shen Jingyan closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Jiang Xiyan, you will regret this. You will pay the price for what you have done."

Jiang Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. "I, Jiang Xiyan, never regret anything. As for the price, I want to see who can make me pay the price."

After saying that, Jiang Xiyan turned around and left the basement, leaving only Shen Jingyan and the unconscious Lin Yu in this cold and dark space.

In the dark, damp, musty basement, Shen Jingyan hugged Lin Yu tightly like a candle in the wind. Her delicate body was shaking violently due to extreme grief, as if she would collapse at any time.

Shen Jingyan's fair cheek was pressed tightly against Lin Yu's temperatureless and extremely cold face. Crystal clear tears flowed out from her eyes that were as red and swollen as peaches like a flood, and slid down her beautiful face, hitting the shocking wounds on Lin Yu's body drop by drop.
