That night, Lin Xinlan witnessed Rong Shaoze's cruel side for the first time. She thought that this was the extent of his brutality.
It wasn't until a long time later, when she saw his truly terrifying side, that she realized the brutality of that night was just the tip of the iceberg...

Lin Xinlan wrapped herself in a blanket, hands covering her face, and took a deep breath. Her slender body couldn't help trembling lightly, like a wounded little animal.
It took her a while to regain her composure and get out of bed with the intention of taking a shower in the bathroom.
She turned on the tap, but there was still no water.
With a slight frown of annoyance, she was about to go downstairs to ask if the water pipes were broken when she happened to hear the sound of water sprinkling outside.
The garden's sprinkler system watered the flowers and plants every morning on a set schedule.
