An Nuan frowned slightly as she looked at the person before her, not even knowing what Xu Ruowei truly wanted.
She tried to avoid Xu Ruowei, but at that moment, Xu Ruowei blocked her path. With a triumphant smile in her eyes, she laughed loudly and said, "An Nuan, you don't seriously think I brought you here today just to talk about these things."
"An Nuan, do you know? Everything I'm experiencing now is all your doing. So, I've come up with a great plan."
As Xu Ruowei spoke, she produced a fruit knife from somewhere and brandished it before An Nuan, speaking with malice, "Tell me, what if this lands on your face? If your face is ruined, will Shen Xizhou still be so good to you? Will Nangong Jin still risk his life to protect you?"
"An Nuan, why don't you just die? If you were dead, none of this would have happened. I wouldn't be in so much pain. It's because of your existence that I'm forced to be like this."
"Xu Ruowei, do you think you can get away scot-free if you hurt me now? If I don't get out of here safely, you won't be able to leave safely either."
"Have you considered what your fate would be? I'm afraid your days ahead won't be easy either."
"An Nuan, I don't know if my days will be easy, but what I do know is that you'll never see another day."
"There will be a price to pay for hurting you, but my life can last longer than yours, An Nuan, don't you think?"
"No matter how I look at it, I'm the one who benefits."
Xu Ruowei's eyes were filled with malicious light, her crimson gaze and gritted teeth as if she wanted to destroy An Nuan.
She glared at An Nuan and said triumphantly, "An Nuan, the thought of how I'm going to torture you into a state beyond recognition makes me happy."
"An Nuan, my biggest regret is not getting rid of you all these years. I should have acted sooner."
"But it seems it's not too late to act now."
Xu Ruowei's fruit knife directly landed on An Nuan's arm, slashing across it.
Watching the blood on An Nuan's arm, Xu Ruowei's eyes gleamed, appearing almost unhinged with excitement.
An Nuan kept backing away, looking at the person before her, thinking she must be crazy.
Her appearance was truly terrifying.
An Nuan's back was covered in cold sweat. She wondered who else would appear to save her.
At this moment, she thought Nangong Jin should appear.
An Nuan felt a tremor. When did she become so reliant on Nangong Jin?
An Nuan knew that Xu Ruowei hated her to the bone, and perhaps she would really go through with it. And now, she just wanted to torture her slowly, make her suffer.
"Oh, right. For now, I'll be a good person and tell you a few things. After all, you won't have a chance to know them later."
"Also, I'm not worried about anyone else finding out even if I tell you. Because after tonight, you won't exist in this world anymore."
Xu Ruowei crouched down, forcefully pulling An Nuan's hair and pinching her chin, speaking menacingly, "By the way, Shen Xizhou knows that I'm going to do this to you."
"And this plan has gone so smoothly, thanks in large part to Xizhou's help. Without Xizhou's assistance, perhaps things wouldn't have progressed so smoothly."
An Nuan didn't feel heartache. She just felt as if the sincerity she had poured out over the years was like feeding it to dogs.
Perhaps even a dog would develop feelings for its owner.
But Shen Xizhou didn't. Perhaps Shen Xizhou had a heart, but his heart would never belong to her.
Shen Xizhou, like Xu Ruowei, probably couldn't stand to see her happy and only felt satisfied when her life was ruined.
An Nuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, suddenly feeling utterly pathetic.
Xu Ruowei continued to utter vicious words, humiliating An Nuan.
But no matter how Xu Ruowei insulted her, An Nuan showed no reaction, calmly looking at the person before her.
Xu Ruowei's eyes held deep disappointment. She thought that if she insulted An Nuan, An Nuan would surely become angry and struggle. As long as An Nuan struggled, as long as she begged for mercy, the more she would find it increasingly interesting.
Xu Ruowei directly plunged the fruit knife into An Nuan's thigh, stabbing it in deeply.
Heh, if An Nuan became crippled, if she had to spend her life in a wheelchair, then Shen Xizhou's heart would surely slowly turn to her.
At first, she had considered killing An Nuan, but upon reflection, killing An Nuan seemed like a release for her. She thought making An Nuan suffer through endless torment was the best course of action.
The people she desired, she would always obtain.
Heh, Shen Xizhou's heart actually only held An Nuan. If he knew An Nuan had become like this, his feelings for An Nuan would surely change.
Looking at the blood flowing from An Nuan, Xu Ruowei's eyes were bloodshot, her face contorted in a savage grin.
Looking at the scene before her, she laughed like a madwoman.
Xu Ruowei's gaze fell on An Nuan's other leg. That leg was already injured, so this one should be injured too.
She raised the fruit knife again, just as she was about to swing it, when a loud bang echoed. The door was kicked open. Xu Ruowei, who had been in a frenzy, her expression drastically changed, becoming extremely unpleasant.
But she didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
Just then, as she tried to stab An Nuan again, she was kicked away by the person who had arrived.
Nangong Jin looked at the blood surrounding An Nuan, his heart filled with shock.
"Nuannuan."
Nangong Jin gently and carefully picked An Nuan up, his eyes filled with tenderness.
She had been injured after only being away for a short while.
Why did they always target her? Everything was over; couldn't they just let it be?
Did they have to be so relentless?
He had always protected An Nuan with utmost care. For some days, no one had troubled An Nuan, and he thought her life had become peaceful.
But then Huo Yuxuan came to him, telling him he couldn't find An Nuan. After investigating the surveillance, he discovered An Nuan had been taken. Huo Yuxuan realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately informed him.
He didn't dare to delay for a moment and finally found An Nuan.
He never imagined An Nuan would be tormented to such an extent.
Although he didn't know what An Nuan had gone through after being taken by Xu Ruowei, the blood on the ground made it clear that An Nuan had been terribly tortured by Xu Ruowei.
Recalling the scene that had just unfolded, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. If he had arrived a moment later, he might never have seen An Nuan again in his life.
