Rain could feel her patience being worn thin because of Mandy.
She intended to probe Mandy into confessing her and Leia's crime.
It would be difficult to deal with Leia if Mandy refused to expose them.
The main issue was that Mandy and Matsyh were already involved in an illicit affair, and
the money in Matsyh's account appeared to be legitimate. With just the illicit affair and
the monetary exchange, the police would not have enough grounds to apprehend anyone.
As for the money that had been transferred from Mandy's account to Leia's, it would be
even more difficult to use it as evidence.
They were friends, after all. Financial transactions between friends could not be
considered illegal activities, right?
That was why Rain kidnapped Mandy.
However, Mandy was not a fool either. She continuously revealed immoral acts she had
committed, trying to find out Rain's true identity.
She did not mention a word about any illegal activities.
Rain sneered, "You won't talk, huh? Mandy Sanders, a single woman who lives alone. Your
source of income... Men. You used to be a citizen of A City, but you were adopted by an
American couple when you were young and obtained American citizenship. The couple
who adopted you passed away three years ago. Now, you're an orphan again. Am I right?"
Mandy trembled slightly, but her voice remained calm. What was the big deal if her
background had been uncovered?
The information was not confidential to begin with. It was normal for it to be easily
uncovered.
What Mandy feared were the people who had kidnapped her.
She did not know who they were and who sent them. After Mandy was slapped in the face,
she realized that they might torture her to extract the truth by any means necessary.
There was no way she could bear that kind of suffering.
"So what? I merely slept with your man for one night. There's no need for you to treat me
like I'm your rival." Mandy clenched her jaw. She did not want to go to prison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRain nodded repeatedly. She laughed instead of getting angry. "Alright. Ms. Sanders, don't
blame me for being rude if you still refuse to talk. I have many ways to make you wish for
death while keeping you trapped in endless fear."
A chilling sensation crept up Mandy's spine, sending shivers down her back as she
trembled with fear. Mandy replied, "It's illegal to imprison and kidnap someone. You won't
get away with it when I'm out. I won't press charges if you release me now!"
Rain noticed that Mandy was actually quite clever, even though she was a little naive...
She gestured for her subordinates to lift Mandy up.
Two men, one on each side, lifted Mandy without uttering a word.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Mandy continued to scream as Rain stuffed a cloth into her mouth.
She did not enjoy interrogating people.
This was something the police should do, but how could they possibly interrogate Mandy
without any evidence?
Therefore, Rain could only assist the police in gathering some evidence.
With a cloth gagged in her mouth, Mandy was unable to speak. She was dragged away by
the two men.
Rain followed behind and said, "I don't know if you'll ever have a chance to escape, but I
remember you live alone. No one will notice you've been kidnapped."
Fear overwhelmed Mandy's heart.
She was right. Even if she died in the apartment she rented, it would probably take the
stench of her decaying body for someone to discover her.
She had been kidnapped, but no one knew. Who would be able to save her?
Mandy thought of Leia, but her phone had been confiscated when she was forced into the
car.
When she was on the way to the airport, she was worried that a warrant would be issued
by the police at any moment. That was why she rented a car and drove to the airport.
There were no drivers or anyone else...
Who would realize that she was kidnapped? Was there anyone who could save her?
Mandy was taken to a warmly heated room and tied to a chair.
Rain picked up a pipe and aimed it at Mandy's head. "Ms. Sanders, I'll give you one more
chance. How did you get that money? What did they make you do?"
Mandy whimpered.
Rain whispered in her ear, "Are you seriously gonna tell me that you got that cash by
sleeping around with men? I'm talking about the largest money transaction you've
received. What did you do to get that money?"
She pulled the cloth out of Mandy's mouth.
It took a moment for Mandy to catch her breath. How was she going to explain this? She
could not!
Mandy stubbornly persisted, "I already told you that I got the money by sleeping around
with men!"
"Fine. You're going to face the consequences for not talking." Rain stuffed the cloth back
into her mouth and walked to the corner where there was a faucet.
The room had a separate heating system, but it was disguised as a water room.
Rain instructed the renovation contractor to install it that way when she moved in.
The others had no idea what the purpose of this room was, but she knew this room had a
significant purpose.
It was one of the methods of coercion the Island of Despair had used before. It was more
effective than all those injections. It was capable of breaking down a person's
psychological defenses.
Drops of water would fall on the person's forehead at a consistent frequency while they
were trapped in darkness.
The power of the dripping water might be small, but it could wear away even a stone. A
person's psychological defenses would collapse with every drop of water while trapped in
such a dark environment.
Rain had never used this method before. It was the first time she was employing it.
Their boss often said that leaving the Island of Despair meant living a normal life. The
methods used by the Island of Despair should be avoided whenever possible.
Today marked the inaugural use of this technique!

Rain turned on the faucet. Then, she adjusted the water flow to its minimum. Then, drop
by drop, the water fell on Mandy's forehead.
As she listened to her muffled cries, Rain smiled and instructed her subordinate, "Warm up
the room a little. Make sure Ms. Sanders doesn't catch a cold."
"Got it," replied the subordinate. He cranked the room's heating temperature to the
maximum.
The warmth from the heater enveloped the room, while the water droplets slowly soaked
Mandy's body...
Rain shook her head, knowing that anyone would eventually succumb to this.
She glanced at her subordinate and signaled, "Leave one person to watch her here. Switch
shifts every hour. I'll return in four hours."
She deliberately said these words for Mandy to hear.
Rain had already given her a chance, but Mandy did not appreciate it. The next
opportunity would only come after four hours.
After that, Rain turned around and left.
While Mandy was being blindfolded and with her field of vision obscured, her other senses
had been heightened.
Even though it was just a small water droplet, she felt as though there was a substantial
amount of water drenching her hair.
However, it did not seem like it either. It took a long time for her hair to get wet...
Mandy took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but it was impossible.
The slow infiltration of the water only intensified her fear. Would it be long before she was
completely submerged?
She wanted to kick her feet and check if there was accumulated water on the floor.
However, her legs were tied up. There was not even a chance to kick!
Fear enveloped Mandy. Still, what was the use of being afraid anyway? There was nothing
she could do now!
She did not even have the chance to call for help or negotiate with Rain.
Mandy remembered Rain mentioning that she would return in four hours.
Mandy felt despair, enduring this torment that eroded her nerves in this pitch-black
environment, thinking that she would not be able to last for an hour.
