He lied to me.
Bankruptcy is fake, trading is real.
But he said he loves me.

On the day they moved into the manor, Shen Yun said, "You can leave at any time."
I believed it.
Later I discovered that the door was locked. The camera lights up. Freedom is gone.
Later I discovered that even "bankruptcy" was fake. My family is all his accomplices.
That night, I locked myself in the bathroom.
When he rushed in, the man who had always been calm and composed was kneeling on the ground, shaking all over.
"Please don't do this," he said.
"I was wrong," he said.
He said: "I love you."
But I can no longer tell which one is true and which one is still a lie.
---
Then the door opened.
He said, "You can leave if you want."
But I didn't leave.
Not because of forgiveness.
It's because I want to know whether any of those "I love you" in his mouth are true.
---
He kept me with lies, and I answered him with silence.
But in the end, none of us let go.
