   In the dark basement, the air seemed to be frozen, making people breathless. Jiang You knelt on the ground, his hands weakly supporting the cold ground. Tears fell down his cheeks and dripped on the ground, making a slight sound. Her vision was blurred, everything in front of her became blurred, and the only thing left in her ears was the man's low and teasing voice. "Why are you crying? Baby, you can't bear this anymore?" Hochchen's voice had a hint of sarcasm, as if he was admiring her helplessness. He looked at her condescendingly, and gently pinched her chin with his long fingers, forcing her to raise her head and look directly into his eyes. The tips of Jiang You's ears were already stained with a blush. Her body was trembling slightly, her breathing was rapid, and a weak whimper came from her throat. She wanted to push him away, to escape from this suffocating place, but her hands were limp and she didn't even have the strength to lift them up. "Oh... Don't..." Her voice was weak, with a hint of pleading, as if she was begging for his mercy. Her head was dizzy, her stomach was churning, and the alcohol was raging in her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Hochchen chuckled, released her chin, and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, as if comforting a frightened little animal. However, his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all. "Don't want to drink anymore?" His voice was low, with a hint of threat, "But the game has just begun." Jiang You's heart sank suddenly. She knew that the man in front of her was Huo Hechen, the most powerful man in the imperial capital. He controlled the lifeblood of the entire imperial capital, and no one dared to disobey his orders. And she was just a pawn in his hands, at his mercy. She closed her eyes, tears welling up again, her heart filled with despair. She knew she couldn't escape and was at his mercy until he got tired of it. The dim lights in the basement reflected on the two men, lengthening their shadows. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, mixed with Jiang You's tears, as if telling her helplessness and pain. Hochchen looked at her, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference. He let go of her, turned around and walked to the wine cabinet nearby, picked up a bottle of red wine, and slowly poured a glass. "Drink, baby." He handed the wine glass to her, his voice low and cold, "You owe me this." Jiang You took the wine glass tremblingly, holding the body of the glass tightly with her fingers, as if it was her only support. She raised her head and looked into Huo Hechen's deep and cold eyes, her heart filled with fear and helplessness. She knew that she could not refuse and could only obey. So she closed her eyes and drank the wine in the glass. The bitterness of the alcohol spread in her throat, seeming to eat away at her soul. Her body gradually lost strength and fell to the ground. The world in front of her became increasingly blurry. Huo Hechen stood beside her and looked at her quietly without any fluctuation in his eyes. He knew that this game had just begun, and Jiang You was destined to be unable to escape his control. The lights in the basement were still dim, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and tears, as if telling an unspeakable story.

   Xiao Jianan was a junior high school classmate of the three of them, and he was a well-known gangster in the school at that time. He has dyed yellow hair, is as thin as a monkey, and wears a killer hairstyle all year round. Originally, the two of them were not in the same class, but later, I don't know what went crazy with this person, but he started studying hard. After the monthly exam, he was assigned to Mi Lan's class and sat in front of her. That year she was still a bright girl with a very shy and gentle personality. Xiao Jianan came to her to ask questions or chat. Even though she didn't like this person, she still spoke patiently and gently. Then Xiao Jianan stuffed him with a love letter of several thousand words and a drawer of food. Ever since she was a child, Mi Lan has always been a good girl and has never done anything out of the ordinary. I had never even submitted my homework late, so when this happened unexpectedly, I was dumbfounded. After the shock, there was an inexplicable sense of shame and disgust that welled up in my heart. As a student, you should study hard and not do other things. So she began to avoid Xiao Jianan, but she couldn't avoid it, so she got a very bad grade in the exam and was assigned to the ordinary class. Xiao Jianan angrily blocked her on her way home because of this incident. The two of them were very excited at the time, so Mi Lan pushed Xiao Jianan. Xiao Jianan lost his balance and fell onto the curb, knocking out a tooth on the spot. She was frightened and cried immediately. Fortunately, Xiao Jianan did not blame her, but instead covered her bleeding mouth to comfort her. Not long after this incident, Xiao Jianan transferred to another school and completely disappeared from her world.
