Renee asked Chase the question in confusion.
“You’re right, someone’s getting punished, and it’s you!”
Chase smiled and pulled out a key to open the door to the water prison before bowing slightly and making an
inviting gesture towards Renee.
“Go ahead, Ms. Everheart!”
“???”
Renee gulped, her hair standing on end.
The water prison wasn’t even large. It was about the size of a small bedroom with a height of about six and a half
feet, more than deep enough to completely submerge a human being. The walls were smooth and polished, but
they were dotted with numerous holes of different sizes. These were possibly the cavities from where the snakes,
centipedes, boiling oil, acid, and whatever else were let out into the water prison.

dead rats or even human corpses. She could not bear to be inside the water prison for long, because as soon as
she took a breath, she would be overcome by an urge to vomit!
“Don’t panic,” Chase assured her. “My idea is to let you stay in the water prison for a while and act as if you’d been
tortured. Then I’ll send a picture of you here to the impostor Mr. Q and tell him that the real Mr. Q had returned and
demanded that he come here to save you. Even the impostor knows how terrifying water torture is, so I’m
convinced that as soon as he sees a picture of you here, he would come to your rescue at full speed!”
“This way,” Chase added, “not only can we make him show up, we can also prove if he truly loves you. It’s a brilliant
plan, don’t you think?”
At that moment, Chase felt that he was simply a genius for having thought of such a perfect plan that managed to
solve two problems at once.
“I think…” Renee stroked her chin as she was lost in thought. “Your plan sounds pretty good!”
She really wanted to know who in the world the impostor actually was, and whether his feelings for her were
genuine.
“Great! Then let’s start right away, because the sun is coming up soon…”
Chase then proceeded to test every switch and mechanism of the water prison with full enthusiasm, looking as if he
was eager to try them all out.
Meanwhile, Renee stood in front of the water prison in a seemingly dejected mood.
“Is this really going to work?” she asked, full of hesitation. “He’s… He’s such a cunning and cautious man! Perhaps
he wouldn’t even show up!”
“That’s fine too,” replied Chase. “If he doesn’t show up, then it proves that his feelings for you were all lies, and it
also proves that I have a poor eye to judge a character. In that case, you may just scoop my eyes out because I
won’t have any use for them!”
“Then I hope he doesn’t show up!” whispered Renee.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe really did wish that he would not show up, because if he did risk it all and turned up just to save her, and in the
process putting himself in grave danger, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
“He will decide for himself whether or not he is going to show up,” said Chase. “All you have to do now is to act as
convincingly as possible. My guess is that… he’s going to be here within thirty minutes, because in half an hour, all
kinds of snakes and centipedes will be released from the holes in the walls. He would never let you suffer such a
gruesome fate!”
“Okay,” Renee nodded and gritted her teeth before going into the water prison. “Let’s do it then!”
Right now, the water level in the water prison merely reached her ankles, but the water was flowing continuously
into the water prison through the holes. Renee’s hands were then chained to the walls, making her look frail and
extremely pitiful.
“Very good!” Chase pulled out his phone and began to direct Renee on how to act as he recorded a video, “Now
just maintain this posture and try to squeeze out some tears and cry for help…”
Soon afterwards, they successfully shot a ten-second video, and it was immediately sent to the impostor Mr. Q.
