I listened to my sister's words today.

A luxury car slowly drove into the spacious garage of the manor, but the atmosphere inside the car seemed a bit solemn and depressing.

Yun Yiruo was seen sitting in the back seat, holding a piece of exquisite cake in her hand, but she had completely lost her appetite at this moment. She curled up in the corner, shivering constantly.

After Jiang Ling parked the car steadily, she quickly got out and walked to the back door. She gently opened the door and said softly, "Okay, come on down, honey. We need to recall what classes we had this afternoon."

However, Yun Yiruo just kept shaking his head and replied with a trembling voice: "I...I won't go down."

Jiang Ling patiently persuaded her again, "Be good, be obedient, and come down quickly. I don't want to force you to come down."

But Yun Yiruo still firmly refused: "I won't go down!"

After three attempts of persuasion failed, Jiang Ling gradually lost his patience and his face became serious. He wondered why he was so stubborn.

So, since there is no such thing as a third time, Jiang Ling no longer hesitated. She stretched out her right hand, grabbed the little guy's collar, and pulled him out of the car with force.

"Since you don't want to come down, I have no choice but to help you," Jiang Ling said while holding Yun Yiru tightly.

In extreme fear, Yun Yiru suddenly opened her mouth and bit Jiang Ling's arm hard.

Jiang Ling felt the pain and subconsciously loosened her grip a little. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Yiruo struggled desperately to break free.

Jiang Ling noticed that the little girl was trying to escape, so she quickly grabbed Yun Yiru's clothes more firmly with her right hand, and at the same time, she pinched her small chin with her left hand without hesitation to prevent any further resistance.

In this way, Jiang Ling carried the twisting and crying Yun Yiru all the way back to the villa.

Poor Yun Yiruo had his chin pinched tightly, and he could only make vague "Mmmm" sounds.

Due to the unbearable pain, her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, wetting her pink little face.

I was led straight to the basement door. The heavy door exuded a stale, decayed smell. Standing in front of it, my heart trembled uncontrollably.

"Open the door, go in by yourself, and reflect on your actions! I will come back to settle the score with you later!" The stern voice echoed in her ears, as if to tear her soul apart.

"Wow... I... I don't want to go in." He pleaded in a crying voice, his body shrinking back again and again, trying to escape this horrible fate.

However, Jiang Ling remained unmoved. "Humph, I always thought you were a bit autistic, but it turns out you were just faking it!" Before she could finish her words, she mercilessly reached out and shoved the poor little guy into the dark basement.

Yun Yiruo watched the door open, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart. Without hesitation, she turned and ran out. But at that moment, a roar came from behind her: "If you dare to follow me out, you will be in trouble today!"

Along with the roar, the door slammed shut, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

Left alone in this pitch-black basement without any light, fear surged into my heart like a tide.

She was extremely insecure and subconsciously put her hand into her pants, secretly exposing her tail.

At this moment, the tail became the only warmth she could rely on. The basement was filled with suffocating silence and darkness. He curled up in the corner, hugging his tail tightly, as if this could bring him some comfort.

In this bottomless darkness, Yun Yiruo's mind was like an old projector, constantly playing those heartbreaking and painful memories of the past.

That dark, cramped, and suffocating rental house became a shadow that could never be erased from his heart.

Once, he was misunderstood and accused by a group of people for no reason. However, no one around him was willing to stand up and say a fair word for him, and no one could prove his innocence.

When he was at his wit's end, the only thing he could do was to hide himself deeply in that cramped little room, not even daring to step out of the door.

At this moment, in this pitch-black environment where you can't see your hand in front of you, those memories that have long been buried deep in my heart and almost forgotten by time, suddenly seem to be strongly stimulated by something, and surge back into my heart like a flood that broke through a dam.

Those painful memories were like wave after wave of tide, mercilessly beating against his fragile mental defenses.

Although my impression of my past self has become very vague, the dark days when I was brutally abused by others still appear clearly before my eyes.

Not only was he deceived, but he also unknowingly took out an astonishingly high amount of online loan.

When the debt collectors finally came to his door, he was penniless and had no ability to repay the huge debt.

So, he was mercilessly locked up in a cold and narrow dog cage.

From then on, all that awaited him was day after day of mental abuse and brutal physical torture.

At this moment, Yun Yiruo, who was in the darkness, felt as if he had returned to that terrible time when life was worse than death and there was no light.

Subconsciously curled up in the corner, as if he had lost all his memories. He gasped in confusion and hugged his trembling body tightly, trying to find a little warmth and comfort from it.

Suddenly, a strange touch came from the tail, as if something was hidden there.

After groping carefully, he finally pulled out a small and exquisite orange fox doll from the tail.

Although the memory in my mind is a little vague and I am not sure who gave it to me, there is a strong feeling deep in my heart telling me that this doll is extremely important.

Hugging the doll gently is like protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

I buried my head deep in it, not daring to raise my head to peek at my surroundings. Tears burst out like a flood, instantly soaking the soft fur and the cute doll.

At this moment, a piercing sound suddenly rang out—the heavy iron door was suddenly pushed open without any warning! Startled, he instinctively thought it was those vicious loan sharks coming to torture him again.

Fear followed him like a shadow, his back pressed tightly against the cold wall, and his body involuntarily shrank back, wishing he could shrink himself into an airtight ball to escape the impending disaster.
