An excruciating death was what awaited Zhan Yahui. But before that, an excruciating torture was what she was made to go through. First, it was through watching Hou Lin suffer. That alone immensely pained her because even if she didn't admit, Hou Lin was the only person in her life she remotely had any human connection with.
He was being tortured and punished because he loyally supported Zhan Yahui through her revenge. And Jinhai made sure to make him pay every cent of that loyalty that betrayed Jun in Sky Publishing.
"Lin…"
To see Hou Lin suffer and die in front of her was a punishment far more painful than all the bruises she had on her body. She thought that Jinhai would immediately kill her, but that was far from the case.
Jinhai made her life a living hell. If she thought that his anger of losing his wife and children would make him end her life as soon as possible, then she was very wrong.
