In the villa by the beach.
Screams were followed by more screams, and they sounded so scary that it made chills run up Nan Zhi’s spine.
After Nan Zhi was carried back to the room by the masked man, she remained curled up on the bed, her thoughts running in all directions.
The masked man’s aura was completely cold and devilish back then, which was why she thought that he would punish her for running away. However, he did not do anything and left after placing her on the bed.
However, Nan Zhi understood not too long later that he was punis.h.i.+ng Auntie Sun and the young helper.
Gooseb.u.mps all over Nan Zhi stood up at the sound of Auntie Sun’s and the young helper’s horrified screams.
She understood that the masked man was warning her that the consequence of her running away was to let the people guarding her be punished until they were dead.
Nan Zhi could not stand the screaming, feeling like she was the one who had been whipped.
She gritted her teeth and got out from the bed, before walking down.
Auntie Sun and the young helper were kneeling on the floor, as the bodyguard held onto a whip and hit them time after time.
They gritted their teeth, not daring to plead for forgiveness apart from the sounds of pain they gave off.
The masked man was standing in front of the window, his back facing everyone else. He was indifferent to Auntie Sun and the young helper’s horrifying state.
Auntie Sun and the young helper’s back were covered in blood and Nan Zhi s.h.i.+vered in fear at the sight.
When the bodyguard was about to whip the two of them again, Nan Zhi moved forward and grabbed the bodyguard’s wrist. She said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Stop hitting them!”
Desperate hope appeared in the young helper’s teary eyes when she saw Nan Zhi.
Auntie Sun, on the other hand, was lying on the floor with an ashen expression, hatred appearing in her eyes when she saw Nan Zhi.
If she did not run away secretly, they would not have to get hit…
The bodyguard shook Nan Zhi’s hand away. “I have to continue hitting as Master has not said anything.”
Nan Zhi looked at the elegant back of the man and said with a dry throat, “I won’t run away again, stop hitting them!”
The man turned around slowly, his eyes moving onto Nan Zhi with a sharp coldness. “If you run away again, everyone in this villa will die for you.”
An uncontrollable anger surged within Nan Zhi. She really wanted to rush up to that man and unveil his mask to see what he looked like. She wanted to know what kind of person was able to say such a cold-hearted and cruel thing!
However, she knew that rashness would only make things worse.
Mu Sihan would definitely think of a way to find her after knowing that she was missing. She could not become fl.u.s.tered and anger this devil.
“I will listen to you.”
The masked man lifted a hand and signaled for the bodyguard to stop whipping Auntie Sun and the young helper.
Nan Zhi went back upstairs and locked the door from within the room. She stayed in the room until night.
The bodyguard had come up several times to get her to go down and eat, but she had ignored all of them.
In the end, the masked man came up himself to get her.
When she reached the dining table, Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows, uninterested as she stared at the food on the dining table. “I don’t like your food, I want to cook myself.”
The masked man stared at her for a few seconds before he nodded in agreement.
Nan Zhi entered the kitchen.
The fridge was filled with all sorts of ingredients, and she could make anything she wanted.
She swiftly made three dishes and a soup, before she glanced out of the kitchen. She hurriedly took out a small plastic bag after noting that no one was looking at her.
The small plastic bag contained the soup that the young helper gave her that day.
After she brought the dishes she cooked to the dining table table, Nan Zhi glanced at the seated masked man. She scooped two bowls of soup and gave him one.
