841 Saving Pei Lang (6)

After all, he did not want Shen Miao to be hurt. If Prince Rui was Xie Jingxing, then this matter was going to get much more complicated.

…

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a few days left until the end of the year. To ordinary people, the days at the end of the year were the happiest, because at the end of the year, they would treat themselves better. They ate, drank, played, and were happy every day.

However, to Pei Lang, every second was suffering. Every day, he would be tortured until a piece of flesh was cut off. The next day, the torture would continue. Sometimes, he wished he could kill himself.

He had been locked up in the dungeon for God knows how long. Apart from the guards who tortured him, even Fu Xiuyi was not coming now. The torture was getting more and more painful. His legs were already dripping with blood and sweat. It was said that after today, if he still refused to speak, his kneecaps would be gouged out.

After having his kneecaps gouged out, he could only crawl for the rest of his life. For a proud person like Pei Lang, it was undoubtedly a nightmare. Fu Xiuyi indeed knew the weakness of human nature very well. A young man with a lot of knowledge and a bright future would have to crawl from now on. Even if he could still live to see the sun rising, his life would probably be completely ruined.

Strangely, even at this moment, Pei Lang did not intend to betray Shen Miao even though his mind had been persuading him to do it.

He and Shen Miao were not really friends. It was just that Shen Miao used Liu Ying to threaten him back then, so he had no choice but to work for her. Although Shen Miao spoke ruthlessly every time, she actually never harmed innocent people. Even if he betrayed her, Shen Miao would definitely not take her anger out on the innocent Liu Ying.

After all, such torture was too unbearable.

Every time he was about to open his mouth, he would shut up at the last moment. He felt as if it was a heinous crime to betray Shen Miao. Pei Lang wondered if he owed Shen Miao a huge debt in his previous life so that he was so willing to suffer for her in this godforsaken dungeon.

However… it had been so long, but no one had come to save him. Pei Lang was a little disappointed.

Shen Miao had probably forgotten about him. Or perhaps, in her chess game, sacrificing an insignificant chess piece was not worth mentioning.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He did not know what happened, but it was noisy.

Then, the heat wave swept past him.

Someone shouted, “There’s a fire! A fire!”

A fire?

Pei Lang was stunned. This was Fu Xiuyi’s dungeon. Usually, only Fu Xiuyi’s trusted aides and guards would come to the dungeon. Because the security was very tight, nothing could go wrong. He did not expect a fire to break out here, but it would probably be put out very quickly.

However, Pei Lang was wrong this time. Not only was the fire not put out, but it also became bigger and bigger. Some black smoke even floated in, and the chaotic footsteps outside gradually became weaker and weaker, as if they were getting further and further away.

Pei Lang’s cell was the furthest away and the innermost one. Others usually could not see him, so he was almost isolated here alone. When the fire broke out, Pei Lang’s cell was in the most dangerous position. Generally speaking, no one dared to break into the fire to save him..

Feeling the surging heat wave, Pei Lang felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before. At the same time, he felt relieved and liberated.

Let’s leave it at that… It was not a bad thing to end it like this.

Just as he closed his eyes, he heard an unfamiliar voice in front of him. “Hey, are you dead?”

Pei Lang opened his eyes in surprise and saw a man in black standing in front of him. This person’s face was covered by a black mask, so his face could not be seen. Only his eyes were revealed, shining brightly. Seeing that Pei Lang did not answer, he seemed to be a little impatient and opened the cell door.

This person was actually here to save him!

Pei Lang actually found it unbelievable. However, dressed like this, what else could this person do but save him?

When Pei Lang met this person’s eyes, his heart skipped a beat as he felt a sense of familiarity with that pair of eyes.
