Yang Ren was captured by Nangong Jin's men, and upon his capture, he was subjected to inhumane treatment.
Yang Ren naturally knew who had taken him away.
He was not afraid, but when someone told him: "If things are not handled properly, your days here will not be pleasant."
However, Nangong Jin paid no heed.
Nangong Jin's men tortured Yang Ren alive.
Yang Ren no longer possessed his former arrogance and swagger.
He had lost everything, yet he believed that as long as he was alive, anything was possible.
Yang Ren was so humiliated that he seemed to have gone mad.
"Nangong Jin, you can't treat me like this... I haven't done anything wrong."
"Nangong Jin, everything I did was at Xu Ruowei's behest, and she arranged it all for me."
"I didn't even know what was going on. I just knew some things."
"It was Xu Ruowei, all of it was Xu Ruowei's doing, and she forced me to step forward."
"How could I possibly harm An Nuan? I know An Nuan is someone you, Nangong Jin, protect, so I naturally wouldn't dare to touch her."
"It was all Xu Ruowei's doing. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. Everything is traceable."
"Why would I do such things?"
Yang Ren's shamelessness and tendency to abandon allies were constant themes.
After Yang Ren finished speaking, Xu Ruowei appeared, brought in by Yan Bai.
Seeing Xu Ruowei's arrival, Yang Ren burst into laughter. Hahaha, Xu Ruowei, you never expected this to happen to you, did you?
However, before An Nuan could speak, Xu Ruowei spoke first, "Yang Ren, you clearly did all of this, yet you lack the courage to admit it and can only frame me for it."
"Yang Ren, why must you be so despicable?"
"As a grown man, you refuse to admit what you've done and instead heap all the blame onto me. Don't you feel any guilt?"
Xu Ruowei then smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot. Someone like you wouldn't have a conscience, would they? If you had a conscience, you wouldn't have done such things in the first place."
"Heh, Yang Ren, I must have been blind back then to fall for someone like you."
"I always thought you would be my lifelong support. I found someone to lean on."
"But now it seems I haven't found a good partner, but rather someone who pushed me into the abyss."
As Xu Ruowei spoke, she began to sob, tears streaming down her face. "Heaven is truly unfair to me. Why must it treat me this way?"
"What wrong have I done?"
However, Yang Ren was no longer the Yang Ren who had always protected Xu Ruowei. Hearing her words, he let out a cold scoff, mocking, "Xu Ruowei, back then, you climbed into my bed yourself just to get me to help you. You told me that you only had me in your heart, and that you were with Shen Xizhou because you were being threatened by him."
When Xu Ruowei saw her lie exposed, her face instantly flushed crimson. She truly hadn't expected Yang Ren to say something like that so directly.
But she didn't hesitate for long and immediately retorted, "Yang Ren, do you really think anyone will believe the things you're saying?"
"These are all lies you've fabricated to frame me."
"You say these were my words, that I made you do it, so where is the evidence? Do you have any proof?"
"Yang Ren, are you just targeting me now because you can't find anyone else to take the blame for you?"
"But Yang Ren, do you think I'll just obediently listen to you and let you frame me?"
"No, I won't. I will defend myself, and I will not let myself be harmed in any way."
"Yang Ren, you were the one who said, 'What kind of woman is Xu Ruowei that Shen Xizhou and Xuanyuan Heng are both infatuated with her? You said such a woman must be tasted.'"
"You even threatened me."
"Yang Ren, everything I'm saying is the truth."
Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou, her voice filled with a hint of disbelief, "Do you truly believe him?"
"Xizhou, although I've made many mistakes, I would never do anything to harm innocent people."
"Besides, I do have proof. This is it." Xu Ruowei then took out her phone and showed it to Shen Xizhou, thinking this would make him believe her.
However, Xu Ruowei kept talking and finally handed the phone over, playing the audio.
"Xu Ruowei, shut up!"
Yang Ren at this moment wanted to rush forward and strangle Xu Ruowei. Why could this person still spew such slanderous words at this moment?
She was truly looking out for herself, bringing up such unspeakable things.
Watching the two argue, Nangong Jin laughed, even laughing out loud.
Nangong Jin looked at Xu Ruowei and said coldly, "Shen Xizhou can't hear any of the things you're saying to me."
"Because, the moment you speak, he turns it off."
Nangong Jin looked at the people before him coldly and said, "Xu Ruowei, Yang Ren, you will both pay for what you have done. No one will escape."
"It's just that I didn't expect you two to start arguing."
"I truly didn't expect this to happen."
Nangong Jin was dressed entirely in black that day, his entire being shrouded in a sinister aura that deterred anyone from approaching him.
Nangong Jin was truly handsome. Compared to Shen Xizhou, he was undoubtedly the victor.
Facing Nangong Jin, Yang Ren was already extremely terrified.
Xu Ruowei, however, was not afraid. Of course, saying she wasn't afraid would be a lie. She was scared to some extent.
Xu Ruowei could still calmly respond, but Yang Ren was beyond that.
Xu Ruowei looked at Nangong Jin and, with a 'plop,' knelt down, her voice trembling, "Nangong Jin, truly... I really don't know what's going on."
"But I told you, I didn't do those things. Can you let me go?"
However, Nangong Jin had no intention of letting Xu Ruowei go. Just then, Xu Ruowei looked at Nangong Jin and said, "You should get your body checked."
After saying this, Xu Ruowei felt that it wasn't enough. She still needed to do more.
Besides, Nangong Jin might not agree to what she said.
Nangong Jin, do you really want to misunderstand me? Do you want to kill me?
Nangong Jin let out a cold scoff and said coldly, "I won't believe a single word you say."
