Seeing Huo Wen’an leave, Zheng Lie mercilessly closed the coffin and chased after Huo Wen’an.

Hong Ruhai lay in the narrow and dark coffin, water seeping in through the cracks above.

The water was meticulously calculated; it wouldn’t fill the coffin completely, leaving a two-finger-wide gap specifically for Hong Ruhai to breathe.

The space was very narrow, barely enough to accommodate Hong Ruhai’s nose.

If Hong Ruhai didn’t want to choke on water, he had to kneel awkwardly in the coffin, head held high, allowing his nose to stay above the water to breathe the thin air.

Meanwhile, his ears and body were completely immersed in water.

Once this torture began, it would last for ten hours straight. Even if Hong Ruhai’s knees trembled from exhaustion, he wouldn’t dare to give up, because the moment he sat down, the water in the coffin would instantly drown him. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

At this time, the words left by Huo Wen’an before he left suddenly echoed in Hong Ruhai’s mind.

As long as Xu Zeqing suffers, I will be happy!

Hong Ruhai thought in desperation: Xu Zeqing, oh Xu Zeqing, come quickly.

As soon as you come, I will be freed.

Night fell.

Unable to resist, Huo Wen’an sent a message to Xu Xingguang, telling her about the amusing incidents of the day: [The island is introducing a new breed of dogs, which will likely lead to some dog-eat-dog drama. Hurry over and watch the show with me.]

Under normal circumstances, Huo Wen’an wouldn’t message Xu Xingguang during the day as he knew she was very busy and had no time to pay attention to him.

It was only around ten o’clock at night that Huo Wen’an would shamelessly contact Xu Xingguang for a chat. But even if he reached out ten times, she would only respond twice at most.

When Huo Wen’an sent his message, Xu Xingguang was driving toward Tuo Ling Peak.

While waiting for the green light, Xu Xingguang finally had a moment to check her phone and view the message. After reading it, she replied to Huo Wen’an, asking: [Have you ever seen a porcupine?]

Seeing the message from Xu Xingguang, Huo Wen’an slowly typed back: [...Why are you asking this?]

He had of course seen a porcupine, but he didn’t think it fit as a topic for their conversation.

He only wanted to talk about romance with her, not wild beasts.

As the green light was about to light up, Xu Xingguang sent Huo Wen’an a voice message and a web link, then closed her phone to concentrate on driving.

Huo Wen’an opened the voice message and heard Xu Xingguang say: [Tonight, I’m going to kill a pig, you can come to watch if you’re available.]

Raising an eyebrow, Huo Wen’an clicked on the link and found it was a secret live stream room that had bypassed Xia Country’s safety net monitoring.

Such live streams were usually hidden in the dark web.

The streaming time hadn’t arrived yet; clicking in showed a black screen with an international foreign language text saying: [Live starts at ten, please look forward to it.]

Huo Wen’an handed the phone to Zheng Lie for a look, instructing him: "Check the IP address of this live stream room."

Zheng Lie quickly returned with information, "Zheng Qin said that this is an underground Beast Fighting Arena live stream room, with the IP address located east of the Kunze Mountain Range, a place called Kunze Leisure and Vacation Scenic Area."

Kunze Leisure and Vacation Scenic Area?

When Huo Wen’an was critically ill and dying, Mrs. Huo had searched worldwide for many sanatoriums and vacation spots to expel him from Divine Concealment Island.

Kunze Leisure and Vacation Scenic Area was on the vacation list chosen by Mrs. Huo.

Without exception, this vacation area was indeed a facade; it ostensibly served as a scenic tourist spot, but in reality, it operated some clandestine gray market industries underground.

Underground Beast Fighting Arenas and underground casinos alike were all such gray industries.

Huo Wen’an finally understood what Xu Xingguang meant by ’kill a pig’.

In Xia Country, there was only one place where one could legally kill a pig, and that was in the underground Beast Fighting Arena where signing a life-and-death agreement for mortal combat was allowed. Here, people could fight beasts, and people could also fight against people.

The winner becomes the king, the loser questions neither life nor death.

Huo Wen’an always knew Xu Xingguang was a girl who would always repay a grudge, but he had underestimated Xu Xingguang’s ruthlessness.

Mo Yinshu’s death was inseparable from that man surnamed Li. Xu Xingguang, who repaid grievances with vengeance, how could she allow Li Yucheng to live well?

Therefore, after dealing with the Xu Family’s group of heartless beasts, she finally decided to take action against Li Yucheng.
