"Pinglan" is the most expensive and mysterious nightclub in T city.
This place is Xi Haitang's lifelong nightmare.
Because of what happened seven years ago, she had an instinctive fear of this place. After returning to T City, she had to go around this place even if she had to pass by it. However, she never expected that when she opened her eyes, she was actually in
Where this nightmare begins.
It was still that nightclub, or that terrace. Xi Haitang's heart ached for a moment, and the fear in his eyes was deep. When he looked out the window, it was actually dark, and even the time was almost the same!
Her hands and feet were tied, and tape was taped on her mouth. The surroundings were pitch black, which inexplicably added to the terror.
Help……
Help...
She shouted silently, and there was only her tiny whimpering in the lonely space, but no one responded.
It seemed as if she had returned to that terrible night seven years ago in an instant, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably...
Suddenly, terrifying footsteps approached from far away in the darkness...
She opened her eyes wide, and her whole body suddenly became alert...
The same place, the same time, even the same situation——
The scent of a man comes from behind, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol...
No……
don't want……
She would die if she experienced such a nightmare again! She would really die!
Tears rolled down instantly, wetting her cheeks and freezing her heart.
The man's breath passed through the back of her neck, stimulating her sensitive ears, "Rou'er..."
The nightmare has reappeared!
No!
don't want!
don't want!!
Xi Haitang struggled hard, but was unable to move because his hands and feet were tied.
The man's hands passed through her hair, slowly, slowly, deliberately torturing her.
Xi Haitang's eyes immediately lost focus, becoming empty and dull, like puppets.
That night seven years ago, the man also stroked her hair carefully like this, kissing her over and over again.
A chill ran through her body, and even her breathing became shallow, as if she might die at any moment...
Seeing that she seemed to have reached the bottom line of endurance, the man did not take any further action, but laughed softly, and the strange and devilish laughter circled in the darkness, and then circled again...
"Well, very good, your reaction is even better than I imagined." The man reached out and tore off the tape on her mouth.
"You...who are you?!" As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was already hoarse, and her throat was broken as if it had been run over.
"Does it matter who I am? You didn't know who I was for seven years, so you got through it the same way?" He still stood behind her, holding her shoulders firmly with both arms to prevent her from looking back.
"No...impossible..." Xi Haitang shook his head vigorously, tears of despair streaming down his face, "Qin Hao said that man is dead. You can't be him, it's impossible! He's dead!"
"Dead?!" the man pondered, with resentment in his tone, "I really hope that's the case. It would be great to die! But to die so easily, what a pity!"
He came closer to her again, and his warm breath blew out from his lips. The strong smell of alcohol made her feel even more frightened.
"No! Don't touch me!"
"Shh... save your energy, don't shout so loudly, later... there will be many opportunities for you to scream later..."
The man's words were full of evil. She didn't need to point it out clearly, but she could also know that there were endless conspiracies and evil hidden in them. "No, please, please let me go..."
"Let you go?! How can that be done? The exciting drama hasn't even begun yet!"

Gu Xijue was extremely uneasy. He was very nervous when he was on the plane, as if he had a bad premonition. After getting off the plane, he quickly turned on the phone and called Haitang, but no one answered. When he called home, the housekeeper said she was going
After arriving at the hospital, he called Xiang Feiyang again. He said that she had been there and then left, as if she had returned to her original place of residence.
No, no, he searched all the places where he could find her, but couldn't find her!
He had a gut feeling that something was wrong with her!
There was no other way, so he left all his work to Qin Hao, bought a plane ticket and rushed back. When he returned to T city, it was already pitch dark, and it became more and more confused.
The cell phone he had been paying attention to all day suddenly rang, and his heart suddenly trembled. It was an unfamiliar number——
"Mr. Gu, someone invites you to have a drink at Xincheng Bar. It will take half an hour. We will not wait until the expiry date." The mandarin on the other end of the phone was not very standard, and he had a strange southern and northern accent.
Gu Xijue took a deep breath and asked the driver to change lanes immediately.
When he arrived at the bar, he found that all the guests there seemed to have been cleared away, except for a tall foreign man sitting in the corner, as if waiting for him.
"Mr. Gu, please sit down." The foreign man pushed a glass of whiskey that had been prepared to him.
"You are Gu Xichao's subordinate, I know you, Ivan!"
The foreign man curled his lips playfully, without nodding or denying. He just picked up the cup and said something very Chinese, "Do it first as a courtesy!"
Gu Xijue was not in the mood to drink with him, so he asked straight to the point, "Where is Gu Xichao?!"
"My boss wants us to talk over a drink."
Gu Xijue picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "You can talk now!"
"Chinese people are used to talking about things at the wine table. It's really interesting." The foreign man poured another glass of wine for Gu Xijue.
Gu Xijue suppressed his emotions and drank again. Because he drank too fast, a few drops of wine wet his chin and slid into his collar. The cold touch could not extinguish the anger filling his chest.
"How on earth can you tell me where Gu Xichao is?!"
The foreign man pursed his lips and remained silent.
Gu Xijue frantically opened the wine bottle on the table, without using the cup, and poured it directly into his throat. The spicy wine slid into his stomach, burning with heat. He didn't pay attention, and almost didn't feel it.
He drank a whole bottle of whiskey intermittently, choking and coughing uncontrollably.
"Now...can we say it?!"
The man named Ivan shrugged his shoulders and took out a note from his trouser pocket and gave it to him.
When Gu Xijue saw it, he suddenly paused - Pinlan.
