One fateful night, Si Kong stumbled upon Chenheng's hidden cellar. Nuan Nuan's faint whispers guided him.
"Please...help me..."
Si Kong's heart shattered. He witnessed Chenheng's brutality firsthand.
Rage ignited within Si Kong. He vowed to protect Nuan Nuan, no matter the cost.
But was it too late?
Nuan Nuan's eyes, once bright with hope, now dimmed, extinguished by Chenheng's cruelty.
"I'll never escape," she whispered, resigned.
Si Kong's determination solidified. He would free Nuan Nuan, even if it meant defying Chenheng.
The question lingered: Would Si Kong's redemption come too late to save Nuan Nuan's shattered soul?
...
Si Kong found Li Jin in the hidden chamber, pouring over maps and strategies.
"Li Jin, we must act now," Si Kong urged, his voice laced with urgency.
Li Jin looked up, concerned.
"What's happened?"
"Chenheng suspects me," Si Kong revealed. "He summoned me, questioned my loyalty."
Li Jin's expression turned grave.
"We can't risk delay. Nuan Nuan's safety hangs in the balance."
Si Kong's determination hardened.
"Put the plan in motion, Li Jin. We must free Nuan Nuan before Chenheng discovers our betrayal."
Li Jin nodded, his eyes burning with resolve.
"Tonight, under the cover of darkness, we strike."
Together, they reviewed the plan:
1. Si Kong would create a diversion within the estate.
2. Li Jin would lead the allied forces in a simultaneous attack.
3. Han Yesi would ensure Nuan Nuan's safe escape.
