The cup didn't contain water, it was filled with gasoline.
The bodyguard looked coldly at him, "A man about to die has no right to drink water."
"Brother, brother, please tell me who I have offended?" Li Jin pleaded softly, "No matter what I have done, I truly regret it. Please give me one more chance."
The bodyguard ignored him and turned away.
The bodyguard had left, but the door was not locked, standing wide open in front of Li Jin.
Though Li Jin felt something was amiss, he was more eager to escape, or else staying here meant certain death.
When he ran out of the basement, he realized it was a villa, and the hall was empty, not heavily guarded as he had imagined.
Seizing what seemed like a glimmer of hope, Li Jin hastily opened the front door and ran out.
Outside was a desolate expanse, devoid of any decoration.
It was as if an ancient villa had been placed among the wilderness, mysterious and desolate.
