Having left the dungeon,
Li Zhongnan pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and began to inhale fiercely, puff by puff he released plumes of smoke as if trying to blow away the murky air within his heart.
Su Xi,
a girl in her teens, at the flower of her age, had endured extreme torture and, after her spirit had completely collapsed, she kept begging him,
hoping that, seeing as he was her first man, and the only man, he would grant her a swift end and kill her with a single stroke,
That scene,
kept flashing in his mind, and no matter how he tried to chase it away, it refused to fade.
"Er Niu, what are you thinking about?" The beautiful matron stepped out from the dungeon with an elegant gait.
Li Zhongnan smiled and said, "Nothing much, perhaps I've grown old and have become sentimental."
"Er Niu, don't think too much about it."
