In an office at Haitian Entertainment, Zhang Haiyang stood by the window, frowning, running his fingers through his short hair, and anxiously making a phone call.
"Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently powered off!"
"Darn it!"
It's already the fifth time; since eight in the morning until nearly noon, and still no answer...
The owner of the phone, Gu Tiantian, was in a daze.
When the drug's effect wore off, Gu Tiantian stared blankly, finding herself in an unfamiliar room, facing an unknown man...
"Don't pass out, or it'll happen again!"
The man's voice was cold, deep, and commanding.
Gu Tiantian suddenly snapped awake, cursing in anger.
"Get away from me, bastard!"
"Let me go!"
Gu Tiantian seemed crazy, directly clawing at the man's face.
Her body was restrained, leaving only her hands free to move.
But the man reacted more swiftly, as she reached out to scratch his face, he quickly grabbed her hands, crossing both and pinning them above her head with one hand.
"Courting death!"
Gu Tiantian's vision became blurry, only able to see those chilling black eyes, deep and cold, glinting like ice.
Like a venomous snake in a dark corner, eerie and sinister, scaring her into struggling even more.
"Let me go!"
The man had clearly lost his patience, like a ferocious beast.
Gu Tiantian noticed, in the man's icy eyes, there was not a trace of emotion.
He looked at her like he was staring at a corpse, with such cold eyes, making her feel like she'd been plunged into an icy abyss.
The air entering her lungs became thinner, and Gu Tiantian spoke in broken words with all the strength she had left.
"If you kill me, you won't survive either!"
She couldn't believe the man would really kill her.
The man suddenly smirked, his face obscured by the light, but his deep, indifferent voice sent chills down Gu Tiantian's spine.
"Aren't there plenty of people who disappear without a trace in this world?"
Gu Tiantian: ...
Her hands and feet were cold, and she even forgot to breathe.
The man snorted, staring at Gu Tiantian as if waiting for her final decision.
Gu Tiantian remembered those cases she'd seen on the news where victims were first raped then murdered, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, finding it harder to breathe.
If faced with such a situation, since resisting was futile, it was better to relax, enjoy it, like getting bitten by a dog.
No matter how unwilling, Gu Tiantian still slowly relaxed her tense body.
Noticing her movements, the man's cold face showed a glimmer in his eyes, as he loosened his grip on her throat, but did not let her go.
"Open your eyes, look at me!"
Gu Tiantian, who nearly met her end, coughed constantly from the impact, her eyes hazy, the focus somewhat blurry.
She really wanted to hold back her tears, but couldn't stop them from streaming down.
The man didn't pity her tears, instead looked at her meaningfully and said coldly.
"Still crying means you're in decent spirits!"
Gu Tiantian had already given up hope; what could be more important than staying alive?
But she felt the man she encountered was definitely not human, definitely not human, definitely not human!
It was unclear how long had passed, but everything ended.
Watching the man rise from the bed and enter the bathroom, an exhausted Gu Tiantian, despite wanting to leave with all her heart, couldn't resist the overwhelming urge to sleep.
