She tried to maintain her dignity, unwilling to show weakness in front of these people.
"Who the hell said you could walk in?"
The prison guard lifted his foot and kicked her squarely in the backside. Liu Ruxue, caught off guard, fell face-first onto the ground, her personal belongings scattering everywhere.
This was an initiation—something almost every newcomer had to endure.
The guard's face showed no trace of guilt. He had seen scenes like this far too many times.
The entire prison erupted in raucous laughter, the sound echoing through the cellblock like a mocking verdict against Liu Ruxue. She stood up expressionlessly, a flicker of humiliation flashing in her eyes before she quickly masked it.
She surveyed her surroundings—the cramped space reeked of a foul odor, the walls were stained and peeling, and the bunk was dilapidated.
To her shock, the other inmates were staring at her with sinister grins.
Their gazes felt like knives stabbing into her heart. A sinking feeling gripped her—something terrible was about to happen.
"Hmph!" The guard snorted loudly before slamming the heavy cell door shut behind him.
The sound reverberated in Liu Ruxue's ears like a death sentence for her freedom. One door separated heaven from hell.
Even he knew this woman was in for a world of suffering—but to him, it was just another ordinary day.
Once the guard left, Liu Ruxue bowed slightly. "I’m new here. Please go easy on me."
She hoped politeness might soften their hostility, but she didn’t realize that here, courtesy was utterly useless.
"Go easy on you? No problem." A woman with a hardened face stood up from the corner. Tall, muscular, and radiating menace, she barely resembled a woman at all.
She strode up to Liu Ruxue and, without warning, slapped her hard across the face. The force left Liu Ruxue’s cheek swollen and burning.
The woman chuckled darkly. "Capital University’s campus belle?" Her voice dripped with mockery.
Hearing this, Liu Ruxue straightened her back and replied with pride, "That’s me."
She refused to show weakness, even if it meant inviting more trouble.
The woman responded by driving her fist into Liu Ruxue’s nose, sending her flying backward onto the concrete floor. Blood gushed from her nostrils, the pain nearly knocking her unconscious.
"Here, you’re nothing."
The woman stripped off her prison uniform and pointed.
"Be obedient, and I’ll take good care of you. Now, let’s see what you’re capable of."
Her eyes gleamed with perverse excitement as the other women closed in, their faces twisted into grotesque smiles—like a pack of demons.
Liu Ruxue lay on the ground, her breaths ragged, like a wounded animal. Despair filled her heart.
But she kept repeating to herself, "Lin Ran will come for me. I can’t give up here."
"You still think you’re above this? This isn’t the outside world."
At those words, the other women rose like a dark cloud, descending upon her.
Fists and feet rained down on Liu Ruxue’s body. She gritted her teeth, refusing to cry out. She couldn’t collapse—she had to endure, waiting for a rescue that might never come.
"If you don’t want to be beaten to death, you’ll do as I say." The woman dragged her rough palm across Liu Ruxue’s face, sending a wave of revulsion through her. Gentleness didn’t exist in a place like this.
This was where humanity’s darkest instincts thrived—a breeding ground for violence and cruelty.
A nauseating stench hit Liu Ruxue, and she vomited violently.
The stink of bile filled the cramped cell, making the air even more unbearable.
"Disgusting bitch. Never seen anyone this pathetic." The woman casually pointed at another inmate.
"You. Give our little campus belle a proper welcome."
The chosen woman grinned eagerly. "With pleasure."
Then came Liu Ruxue’s blood-curdling screams, echoing through the prison like karmic retribution for her past sins.
From the neighboring cell, a voice called out, "How’s it going, Sister Sha?"
"Not bad. Just the kind of entertainment we like," Sister Sha replied, her voice thick with wicked satisfaction, as if savoring a fine performance.
A guard arrived at the commotion.
Sister Sha reported, "The new girl started it."
The guard shot Liu Ruxue a disdainful look.
"Already causing trouble? You’re coming with me—solitary confinement."
Sister Sha chimed in, "Let me come too, boss. I’ll make sure the newbie gets… proper care."
"Fine."

Liu Ruxue was put under confinement.
At Dongtian Manor, after Lin Ran returned from the court, he lay on the comfortable sofa, with a hint of anxiety and anticipation in his eyes, just like a child waiting for a gift.
However, as time ticked by, what he wanted didn't appear.
It was as if there was a void in his heart that could never be filled.
In a fit of anger, he said,
"Uncle Fu, prepare a pet locator for me."
Uncle Fu was shocked as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world. "Young Master Lin, you... you actually want to do this to the young lady."
His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of panic. He never thought that Lin Ran would say such a thing. Wasn't this courting death?
Lin Ran quickly interrupted him, "What are you thinking? I just want to put it on my kitten. It's really hard to find sometimes."
He shook his head helplessly, feeling a bit amused in his heart. He didn't expect Uncle Fu to react like this.
Uncle Fu looked puzzled, and there was a crack in his originally serious face.
"Did you keep a cat, Young Master Lin? Why don't I know about it?" He scratched his head.
Lin Ran replied, "I took in a stray cat, but I don't know where it has run off to now."
"Shall I send someone to look for it?" Uncle Fu asked.
"No need. You won't be able to find it. Just get the locator ready. I must put it on the next time I see it." Lin Ran waved his hand. He knew the cat's habits; it was as elusive as the wind and hard to catch.
Lin Ran was really angry. He had almost made all the preparations, so why hadn't Xiao Hei shown up yet?
He paced back and forth in the room, full of irritation. It could come and go as it pleased, and when it didn't want to show up, he couldn't find it. How unfair the world was!
In his eyes, Xiao Hei was like a naughty elf, always disappearing when he was most looking forward to seeing it.
Uncle Fu sent someone to prepare the locator and then practiced Tai Chi in the manor.
His movements were smooth and flowing, with each posture full of strength and charm, fully showing the mature and handsome look of an uncle.
His steady steps and stretched-out figure seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment.
Just then, Granny Wang appeared. Every day at this time, she needed to clean the mirrors here to ensure there were no fingerprints or dust on them.
She walked over lightly with the cleaning tools in her hand.
Uncle Fu stole a glance at Granny Wang and then continued to practice Tai Chi seriously. However, a complex look still flashed across his eyes.
Because Granny Wang didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
