The intense pain stimulated Xing Nian's nerves.

"This woman is really cruel. If she likes that man so much, she should just chase him. Why is she taking it out on me? It's not like I wanted to come here."

In fact, Xing Nian's consciousness had slowly recovered two days ago.

At that time, her consciousness was still fuzzy, her head was swollen, her reaction was slow, and it seemed as if the whole world was spinning. However, even in this state, she could still feel the noise and uneasiness around her.

Xing Nian also found out in the past two days that this man's name is Helan Xi, and he is the only son of the Helan family in Country Y.

Why did Xing Nian know this? That's because many of the servants here are fans of Helan Xi, and they all hope that their young master will fall in love with them.

After these two days, Xing Nian had a general idea. Helan Xi must have had a woman he loved very much, named Gu Nuan. Since her death, Helan Xi has been frantically looking for someone who looks like Gu Nuan as a substitute.

However, after spending two days together, Xing Nian felt that Helan Xi was mentally ill.

Although Helan Xi is handsome and elegant, he is possessive and paranoid. Every time he looks at Xing Nian, his eyes flash with an unsettling light, as if he wants to possess her completely. Once, he even suddenly lost control and strangled Xing Nian's neck.

Xing Nian couldn't help but sigh, what woman could stand such a fickle man? She couldn't help but start to worry about her future.

Xing Nian looked at the dense red spots on his arm.

This Xu Li, relying on the fact that her father was the housekeeper here, always thought she was different from others and would attack the servant who was taking care of her when she was not paying attention.

She even had fantasies about Helan Xi, hoping to climb up this high branch.

She didn't even think about it. If Helan Xi could really look at her more, how could he still insist on finding a woman who looked like Gu Nuan as a substitute after Gu Nuan's death? It can only be said that jealousy makes people crazy, makes people lose their minds, and makes people unrecognizable.

Xing Nian silently kept Xu Li's account in mind.

Xing Nian's current situation was indeed difficult. When she was brought back by Helan Xi, she was already in a state of disarray, and Helan Xi did not seem to intend to seek medical treatment for her.

Xing Nian could even feel the satisfaction Helan Xi felt when he touched her cheek. He was satisfied with her unconscious state, because in his eyes, his Gu Nuan should stay by his side obediently, away from the outside world.

However, Xing Nian was filled with uneasiness. She was worried that if Helan Xi suddenly returned to his normal state, he would do something crazy. After all, his paranoid personality made Xing Nian unable to predict what he would do.

However, if Xing Nian kept this dazed look, how could she get in touch with the outside world and find a chance to let Mu Huaichen know where she was? This problem made Xing Nian fall into deep distress.

Xing Nian frowned, his eyes accidentally fell on the curtains, and a plan suddenly emerged in his mind.

In the evening, there was a sudden shout from the manor, someone yelled "fire". The servants in the house panicked and rushed to put out the fire with buckets of water. Xing Nian also left the heavily guarded room.

She was unconscious before, and her body couldn't even move. Helan Xi still sent so many people to guard her, making it impossible for her to leave the room. Otherwise, she would not have used this method to leave the room smoothly. She could take advantage of the fact that everyone here was attracted by the fire to explore where she was more smoothly?

In the chaos, the people who were originally guarding Xing Nian were urgently transferred to put out the fire, and no one noticed her.

Xing Nian took the opportunity to move quickly to the front hall. She needed to find the best route to escape in a short time.

The scale of this mansion is grand, in no way inferior to the old house of the Mu family.

Xing Nian shuttled between the corridors and rooms, secretly calculating the route in her mind. She had to avoid Helan Xi's eyes and ears and find a safe exit.

Just then, she saw several cars driving in from the exit, and she thought it must be Helan Xi returning.

Xing Nian's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down. She knew that she couldn't panic now and had to stay calm and composed.

After determining the approximate route, Xing Nian did not stay for long and immediately returned to the room he had just left.

She sat back in the wheelchair, pretending to look empty-eyed and unconscious.

Not long after, Helan Xi came back angrily. When he learned that the manor was on fire, he went to find Xing Nian immediately.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xing Nian was safe and sound.

He relocated Xing Nian to a new room and stayed with her for a long time before leaving.

Xing Nian was lying in the room. Although the soundproofing was good, she could still vaguely hear Helan Xi's furious voice.

She knew that this inexplicable fire would definitely arouse Helan Xi's suspicion. She had to hurry up and find a chance to escape from here as soon as possible.

He Lanxi stayed in the basement all night, and he interrogated all the servants who went in and out of Xing Nian's room, but the result disappointed him. He did not get any valuable clues from them, which made him suspicious of Xing Nian.

Smelling of blood, Helan Xi walked into the room where Xing Nian was.

As soon as Xing Nian smelled the faint smell of blood, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

She was worried that Helan Xi had discovered something and began to suspect her.

Helan Xi walked to Xing Nian and gently stroked her cheek with his bloody hand.

His movements were gentle, but there was a fierce light in his eyes.

His hand slowly moved to Xing Nian's neck, and Xing Nian felt his hand getting tighter and tighter, as if he was going to strangle her to death.

Xing Nian tried hard to restrain her urge to break free and clenched her fists tightly. She knew that Helan Xi was testing her, and if she resisted in any way, she would be exposed.

Just as Xing Nian's consciousness was gradually fading, Helan Xi suddenly let go of his hand.

Xing Nian fell weakly on the bed, gasping for breath.

Helan Xi looked at her pale face, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Fortunately, you didn't try to escape from me." Helan Xi said softly, "You know what? She used this method before, just to escape from me."

Xing Nian felt a chill in his heart as he listened to Helan Xi's words.

She realized that Helan Xi had completely fallen into a state of madness, and his obsession with Gu Nuan had made him twisted and terrifying.

Helan Xi stayed in the room for a long time, and only left when Xing Nian's complexion gradually returned to normal.

After he left, Xing Nian's eyes regained their color. She touched the marks on her neck, her heart filled with fear and anger.

"What a lunatic!" Xing Nian murmured to herself, "No wonder Gu Nuan would rather die than leave you." She knew that she had to find a way to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible, otherwise she would be discovered by Helan Xi sooner or later.
