Old Wu said sternly to the person beside him.
"Beat him to death!"
As soon as the person was brought up, Old Wu said.
The people beside him immediately instructed several people to surround him, punching and kicking.
The crowd below was partly too scared to open their eyes, and partly bowed their heads in silence.
The bolder ones watched the stage intently, their eyes flickering slightly.
A tall man soon curled into a ball, blood splattering on the ground. Su Dan Novel Network.
Those watching were extremely nervous.
"See? This is the consequence of clandestine photography! You all watch carefully. If we find it once, we'll beat you; if we find it three times, we'll feed you to the fish! I advise anyone who wants to make a move to quickly retract their hands!"
This was a one-man show; only the one called Old Wu had the final say.
Many in the audience trembled.
Fang Xiaoxia clutched Sasha's arm in fear, while Sasha subtly leaned closer to Liu Sandao.
It seemed that only in his presence did she feel a shred of security.
However, despite her fear, she was still prepared to act. Otherwise, how could the dark and dirty secrets hidden within Peach Blossom Spring be revealed and resolved?
"Throw him into the fish!"
Old Wu shouted, causing many to shiver involuntarily.
"No, no, please! I beg you, I'll never dare again, never again! Don't throw me in!"
Although the man was bleeding profusely, facing death, he used all his strength to beg.
But the people carrying him showed no intention of stopping.
"Plop!"
The sound was loud, like a giant rock being thrown into the sea.
Everything was over.
Watching the silent crowd below, Old Wu appeared very pleased, the dejection from being reprimanded by his boss completely gone.
"Alright, you can all disperse. Let's see who dares to take clandestine photos from now on!"
Old Wu announced.
Everyone scattered quickly, as if afraid of being caught by Old Wu.
Sasha grabbed Fang Xiaoxia's hand and turned to run, completely unconcerned about their attire.
Liu Sandao found her impulsive action amusing and exasperating.
It was common to see women running hand-in-hand on the street, but not so common for men.
If you knew they were women, you'd understand; otherwise, you might think they were a couple.
...
Food was available on the island at all times; during certain periods, the dish-waiters had a lull.
Sasha merely hoped to conceal her identity by working as a waiter, so learning how to slack off was essential.
Not only that, but she also taught Fang Xiaoxia how to slack off.
Just as they were about to find a place to rest, they spotted Bai Suxiang walking alone down the corridor.
Sasha gave Fang Xiaoxia a look, and she understood.
The two of them stealthily approached Bai Suxiang from behind, each placing an arm on her shoulders.
Fearing that Bai Suxiang might cry out, Sasha quickly covered her mouth with a hand.
Bai Suxiang, who had intended to resist loudly, heard Sasha whisper in her ear:
"It's me, Sasha!"
The frightened Bai Suxiang calmed down and followed them to a corner of a stairwell.
"How is it you? What happened to you?"
Bai Suxiang asked.
"Hahaha, how is it? You didn't recognize us, did you!"
Fang Xiaoxia said, standing at attention and striking a pose for Bai Suxiang.
"Mmm, hehe! If you hadn't spoken first, I really wouldn't have recognized you."
Bai Suxiang said with a smile.
"Little Scent Sister, you'll have to look out for us in the future!"
Fang Xiaoxia said.
"Of course! Oh, right, what about Bai Xiaoxiao? Any news of her?"
Bai Suxiang said with certainty, then suddenly remembered Bai Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Alas, to be frank, her situation might not be much better. It's similar to ours. If you want to save her, the sooner the better. You know what I mean, right?"
Fang Xiaoxia sighed and said.
They had entered that hellhole one after another. For the past few days, having no longer been tormented and with Sasha leading the way, they had forgotten to tell Bai Suxiang.
"Really? Mmm... Okay, I'll try to find a way."
Bai Suxiang said with a hint of worry.
Thinking of Fang Xiaoxia and Sasha's plight, she feared Bai Xiaoxiao was also in grave danger.
If she wanted to help Bai Xiaoxiao escape her suffering, she would first have to deal with the person causing them suffering. But how?
"I won't talk about it anymore. I still need to go see Aunt Hong. We'll chat again when we have time!"
Bai Suxiang said, turning to leave the stairwell.
Sasha and Fang Xiaoxia then returned to their work.
Although called work, Bai Suxiang's job wasn't particularly busy; most of the time, she was pestered by Shu Risheng.
But aside from Shu Risheng, Aunt Hong didn't seem to have arranged any other significant public relations activities.
She had wanted to inquire about the reason for all this, but Bai Xiaoxiao's situation was also pressing.
"Aunt Hong, I wanted to ask, you mentioned before that we could visit those two small islands, is that true?"
Bai Suxiang asked Aunt Hong after some pleasantries.
"Of course it's true, what's false about it? What's wrong, are you already tired of being here?"
Aunt Hong said, holding Bai Suxiang's hand and smiling.
"Alas, who wouldn't be? Lately, I've been feeling incredibly stifled and want to go out for a walk. What do you think?"
Bai Suxiang said, playing along with Aunt Hong, a hint of a pout in her voice.
Those who knew understood that Bai Suxiang was a subordinate of Aunt Hong; those who didn't might have thought they were mother and daughter.
"Hehehe, what's wrong with that? Your legs are your own, you can go if you wish."
Aunt Hong said with a smile.
She knew that Shu Risheng had truly taken a liking to this girl.
Coupled with her own good impression of Bai Suxiang, anything that could be overlooked would be overlooked.
With Aunt Hong's approval, Bai Suxiang immediately came up with a bold idea.
She needed to find Bai Xiaoxiao first, see her situation, and if possible, find an opportunity to rescue her.
However, for now, she still had to appease Shu Risheng, otherwise, it could lead to complications.
Shu Risheng's identity was now very clear. Bai Suxiang had initially wanted to escape his entanglement, but then she thought that perhaps she could use his status.
She didn't have a habit of using people, but being on Red Island, if she didn't do so, she might not be able to move an inch.
She figured Aunt Hong also understood this situation and was doing her a favor by turning a blind eye.
Shu Risheng had initially been hesitant, as his father didn't quite approve.
However, recently, Shu Xiaoxin hadn't been overly critical, which made Shu Risheng's intentions even bolder.
He was determined to put in the effort to win Bai Suxiang over.
For this purpose, he had prepared meticulously.
The entire Red Island was brightly lit, and the lingering twilight was enough to make one lose themselves in its enchantment.
To demonstrate his straightforwardness, Shu Risheng chose to do it during the day.
