Under the cold white moonlight, blood kept flowing out from his palm, dripping onto Tao Tao's heart. She felt more and more dizzy in front of her eyes, and her pupils were trembling.

Without waiting for Tao Tao to react, Yi An lifted her up. She began to resist, screaming, using her hands and feet, hitting and kicking him, but he remained indifferent, just grinning sinisterly and tearing off a piece of cloth to bandage her wound casually.

Seeing that she was about to be taken back, Tao Tao's screams of resistance turned into sobbing and tears. How could she be willing to accept this? She had already escaped, and now she was being taken back like this.

He must have noticed what Yi An said just now. What if he knew that it was Xun Yan who did it? Thinking of this, Tao Tao was terrified.

Feeling the person on his shoulder trembling, Yi An smiled and comforted: "A Tao, don't be afraid, I just want to use my actions to tell you that no matter where you run to, I will find you."

Tao Tao's eyes were red from crying and she no longer had the strength to respond to him. She almost vomited being carried by him like this. Yi An was shocked and quickly changed his position. He simply put her down, tied her hands with the torn cloth, and picked her up by the waist.

"What should I do? What should I do? I have to go back again. What should I do? If he asks me how I unlocked the door, I will say that I took the key when he was holding me. I must not implicate Xun Yan." Tao Tao sobbed, turned her head away stubbornly and didn't want to see him, and kept saying in her heart.

Yi An lowered his eyes to look at her. Under the moonlight, he could see her red cheeks and nose tip, tears hanging on her curly eyelashes, and her lips were red and moist from being bitten by her. As he looked at her, he felt extremely sympathetic, but also a sense of annoyance.

Does she want to leave me just like that?

After a moment of silence, Yi An took her back to the yard. As soon as she entered, Tao Tao heard Xun Tao's voice: "Miss Tao!"

She turned her head suddenly and saw Xuntao was tied up with ropes and kneeling on the ground, while Wenxin was trembling as she supported her.

Tao Tao was anxious and yelled at Yi An: "Why did you treat her like this!"

Yi An put her down and said with a smile: "A Tao, are you going to lie to me again? Didn't Xun Tao help you get the key to the chain?"

"No!" Tao Tao denied it flatly. "It was me. I took it secretly when you were holding me. You wronged Xun Yan! She didn't help me!"

"Really?" Yi An raised his eyebrows, untied the cloth strips on her hands, opened his arms, and said, "Then Ah Tao, show me how you hold it."

Tao Tao was stunned and looked at Xun Tao, who was tied up with ropes and looking at her with a pair of red eyes.

Tao Tao's breathing stagnated, and she slowly walked towards Yi An, closed her eyes, and stretched her hand to his waist, saying, "I got it here."

Yi An smiled and said, "A Tao, I did put the key here."

Tao Tao nodded and said, "Then you should release Xun Yan quickly."

Yi An frowned slightly and said, "A Tao, I played with you today, but I think you are still not well behaved."

Tao Tao stared at him and asked, "What do you want?"

Yi An said: "Whether it was Xun Tao who did it or not, I will not do anything to her."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, while Xun Tao looked up in disbelief.

She helped Tao Tao because she thought Yi An would not do anything to her and was hoping for a lucky break. However, she did not expect that he would have someone tie her up. She was already heartbroken, but she did not expect him to say these words.

"It wasn't Xun Yan who did it. It was me. If you have anything, come to me." Tao Tao said, and stepped forward to untie Xun Tao.

Yi An grabbed her arm and pointed his other hand at Wen Xin, saying, "Zi Fei, kill her."

"What!?" they both said in unison.

After hearing this, Zifei immediately went to pull the stunned Wenxin's arm. Xuntao cried and shouted, "Wait, it was me who did it. Don't kill her. Wenxin didn't do anything!"

Tao Tao said: "Wen Xin didn't do anything, why did you kill her?!"

Yi An looked at her and said calmly, "A Tao, I just told you that you are still not obedient. Can you be obedient in this way?"

"You're crazy!" Tao Tao shouted and rushed forward to stop Zifei.

Wen Xin was so frightened that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand steadily. She kept begging for mercy.

Zifei didn't dare to do anything to Tao Tao, but he showed no mercy to Wen Xin and dragged her out.

Tao Tao was too weak to do anything to him, so she had to beg Yi An again, "Let her go! She is innocent! I took the key, and I wanted to run away on my own. It has nothing to do with Wen Xin's search for Yan!"

Yi An remained indifferent and just looked at her.

Tao Tao grabbed his arms and shook them, tears streaming down her face, begging, "I beg you, Yi An! I beg you, don't kill her, she didn't do anything!"

Yi An said calmly: "A Tao, you are so worried about her."

Tao Tao suddenly tugged at his sleeve, turned her head to look, and saw that Wen Xin was about to be dragged out!

Tao Tao had no choice but to take off the hairpin and put it against her neck. She took a step back and cried, "If you kill her, I will die here today."

Yi An was anxious, just as she thought. He stepped forward and said, "A Tao, don't hurt yourself."

Tao Tao shook her head, still backing away, and said, "Tell him to stop!"

Yi An sighed softly and said, "Zi Fei."

Zifei immediately put Wenxin down, and Wenxin fell to the ground, crying loudly.

Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put her hands down when Yi An suddenly made a move and pressed her acupoints, and Tao Tao was instantly unable to move.

Under Tao Tao's eyes full of hatred and disbelief, Yi An smiled and said, "If we don't kill her, then kill the culprit."

At his command, Zifei went to look for peaches again.

Tao Tao cried, "You said you wouldn't do anything to her! You liar!"

Seeing Yi An remained silent and hearing Xun Tao's cries from behind, Tao Tao had no choice but to continue begging: "Don't kill her, I won't run away, don't kill her!"

The crying behind was heartbreaking. Tao Tao took a deep breath and said, "If you kill her, I won't live either."

Because of her, Xuntao and Wenxin were implicated. If one of them died today, she would live in guilt for the rest of her life. What's the point?

Yi An walked up to her, lifted her chin with two fingers, and said, "Okay, I can not kill her, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Later, Zifei also stopped and waited for Yian's instructions.

Tao Tao asked: "What are the conditions?"

Yi An raised the corners of his lips and said, "Kiss me."

With a bang, Tao Tao felt like a bolt of lightning exploded in her head.

"Don't you want to, Tao? Of course, I won't force you." He waved his hands and signaled Zifei with his eyes.

The crying sound came again. Tao Tao didn't think much and said quickly: "I promise you!"

Yian waved his hand again and Zifei stopped.

"A Tao, this is what you said. Their lives today are in your hands." Yi An said as he untied the restraints on her.

Tao Tao felt that she could move again and looked back at them.

Wenxin hugged Xuntao and kept sobbing. Xuntao looked at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yi An said: "A Tao, don't you want to?"

Tao Tao turned around and said blankly: "No...you have to promise that you won't do anything to them."

Yi An nodded and said with a smile: "I promise."

As he spoke, he looked at Tao Tao leisurely, as if waiting for her to come over.

Tao Tao held her skirt tightly with her hands. At this moment, Yi An was only two steps away from her, but she felt her feet weighed a thousand pounds. For the safety of Xun Tao and Wen Xin, she was willing to give him a kiss.

But Yiqing's face flashed in her mind, his smile, his blushing face, like a slide show, turning back and forth in her mind, Tao Tao felt like she couldn't breathe. Yiqing was the only boy she liked, and the only boy she had ever been close to. Their relationship was still at the kissing stage.

But now, she was forced to kiss a man who had imprisoned her and forced her. He used other people's lives to force her, as if she controlled other people's life and death. She had no choice.

The cold, soft lips pressed against Yi An's face, and a burst of cold fragrance came over him, but it lasted only a second before fading away.
