Chapter 6 : No Right to Die

• During dinner, when Emily came in and saw that the food in front of her had not been touched at all, she couldn't understand how there could be someone so stubborn in this world.
• "Miss Lu, if you don't eat or drink, no one will care about your life or death. The only person who can feel sorry for you is yourself. Only by staying alive can you have hope to change your fate. I know that whatever I say is useless, so I'll show you a video. After watching it, you'll understand. I've been telling you not to go against the boss, it's not good for you and it will harm the people you care about."
• Emily opened her phone and clicked on a video recording sent to her via WeChat by someone.
• As soon as the video started playing, a girl's desperate scream could be heard.
• "Don't come near me! What do you want from me? I don't even know you... Please, I beg you, don't come near me, I beg you... Sob, sob, sob..."
• Then came a series of screams, and the video abruptly ended.
• When Lu Mianxin heard this voice, her eyes, which had been as lifeless as still water, suddenly surged with waves of fear. She looked at Emily across from her with a terrified expression.
• In an agitated tone, she asked, "What have you done to Xia Xia? She has no blood relation to me, why would you treat her like this?"
• Emily was quite satisfied with Lu Mianxin's reaction. It was better to have emotions than to be indifferent. At least having emotions would give her the motivation to survive.
• "Miss Lu, it's not that we want to make things difficult for Miss Xia, but you have been refusing to eat or drink and have been seeking death. Even if it's not for yourself, you should live for the people you care about, shouldn't you? I've said it many times already, there's nothing the boss can't accomplish. He doesn't want you to die, you don't even have the right to die. I have other videos here, would you like to watch them?"
• Lu Mianxin couldn't imagine what terrible things Xia Xia had experienced. As long as she thought that she had caused harm to her, she wished she could tear herself apart.
• Xia Xia was her best friend, they had been together since elementary school until high school.
• Xia Xia had also achieved her long-cherished dream of getting into the prestigious School of Finance and Economics. If something like this happened at this time, wouldn't it ruin her life?
• Her emotions suddenly became agitated, struggling and trying to break free from the ropes tied to her hands and feet.
• But no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. She could only cry and shout desperately, "Tell me, what have you done to her? You can't treat her like this, she's innocent, she's innocent... Sob, sob, sob..."
• Since she entered the Imperial Court, she had never been so agitated. She kept muttering and complaining, tears flowing like rain. It seemed as if the cruelest things in the world had all fallen on her shoulders alone, and her small shoulders couldn't bear such pressure.
• "Xia Xia, it's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault..."
• Emily looked at her like this and felt like she was about to lose control.
• At first, she thought Lu Mianxin would cry and make a scene, but as she kept repeating the same sentence, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
• "Alright, stop crying. We haven't done anything to that Xia Xia. We just wanted to tell you that if you continue to resist, it won't just be Xia Xia, but also your classmates, your teachers, and the people you care about, who will all suffer. I can't guarantee that Xia Xia will be unharmed like she is now. I can only tell you that the boss has the power to destroy them all. So, are you still refusing to eat now?"
