The moist sea breeze continuously blew Nancy's long hair, and as she gazed at the endless sea, she felt extreme calm in her heart!

Whenever Nancy felt upset, she liked visiting the seaside, having grown up in a fishing village that nurtured her since she was a child!

Today, Nancy was extremely irritated. She had returned to the small fishing village to clear her mind but didn't expect mundane affairs to worsen her mood!

"Nancy! Nancy!"

Just then, from not far off in the fishing village, a man came running toward her. His face was full of joy, and he was shouting Nancy's name as he ran!

Upon seeing the man, Nancy slightly furrowed her brows in disgust and immediately turned around, intending to walk towards the beach ahead!

"Wait! Nancy, wait for me!"

Seeing Nancy trying to leave, the man quickly quickened his pace and, in a moment, had caught up to her!

This young man had a face full of coarse features, looking burly and fierce, but when he stood in front of Nancy, his face was filled with a flattering smile:

"Nancy, my father has already discussed with your grandfather. Let's get engaged at the end of this month, then I'll take you to Maldives to have fun for a few days!"

The man looked extremely excited, especially as his eyes, the size of green beans, scanned Nancy's delicate body, flickering with greed and fervor!

Upon hearing this, Nancy grew even more irritated:

"Shi Zheng, I'm telling you, no matter what my grandfather has agreed to, I will not agree! Besides, my dad and mom are still in Yalong, and they won't agree either!"

Hearing Nancy's strong resistance, Shi Zheng's face slowly darkened, and a surge of rage burned within him:

"Nancy! What are you acting high and mighty for! I'm telling you, we were arranged since childhood, you have no say in this! Hmph! When the time comes, you will have to agree whether you like it or not! Nancy, in life or death, you belong to me!!!"

"Shi Zheng! What era do you think this is? Arranged marriages from childhood aren't valid anymore. We aren't suitable, and I will not agree to you!"

Nancy's pretty face turned somber. In those days, her grandfather, driven by small benefits, arranged a childhood engagement with Shi Zheng. However, when Nancy was young and not considered pretty, this engagement faded into silence.

But people change remarkably as they grow up; as Nancy matured, she became the most beautiful woman in all the surrounding villages. To her dismay, Shi Zheng's family started targeting her once again.

Even more disheartening was that her grandfather had once again accepted money from the other party, promising her to the Shi Family!

Especially this Shi Zheng, who had been Nancy's classmate, she knew all too well about his character!

This guy was not only a gambler but also a lecher, almost always hanging around in Yalong's red light district, getting involved with prostitutes or engaging in fights. How could Nancy possibly like such a person!

Seeing Nancy's firm stance, Shi Zheng's face had turned livid:

"Nancy, I'm telling you, your parents are selling fish head noodles in Yalong. Believe it or not, I can make a call and smash your stall, making it impossible for you to continue there!"

"Shi Zheng, don't go too far! I will make my grandfather return the money to you. This has nothing to do with my parents!"

At that moment, Nancy's pretty face was livid with anger. She knew Shi Zheng was definitely capable of doing what he threatened!

"Hmph! I'm giving you two days to think it over. If you still refuse then, don't blame me for being harsh on your family!"

Shi Zheng clearly didn't want to push Nancy too hard, so after making his threat, he turned and left the beach huffing with anger!

After he left, Nancy dejectedly sat on the sandy beach, looking at the majestic sea, her heart full of despair!

She knew all too well how hard her parents worked selling fish head noodles in Yalong. If she did not agree to Shi Zheng, her parents' efforts would surely be ruined, and even the Nan Family would struggle to maintain a position in the small fishing village!

"What should I do?"

Nancy muttered to herself, feeling an increasingly intense distress that made her want to pour out her thoughts to the sea.

"Sea!!!"

"What should I do!!!"

Nancy shouted out loud towards the sea. She liked this feeling, being able to share all her joys and troubles with the mother of the sea!

But this time, it was different!

After Nancy had shouted, she suddenly froze in place when she saw a wave sweep something onto the beach!

Nancy hurried over, but when she saw it more clearly, her pretty face suddenly changed dramatically!

It was a person, and it was a man with tattered clothes!

"Is he dead?"

In that moment, Nancy could only feel her body shaking. She saw that the man had numerous inside-out wounds on his body, but the fresh blood had already been washed clean by the seawater!

Nancy plucked up her courage and slowly walked over to the man's side, then she turned his body over!

But just as she turned the man's body over, a flush of red suddenly appeared on Nancy's pretty face!

The man's pants had already been torn apart completely, revealing his bare skin, making Nancy's heart pound wildly like a drum!

"Tsk! What am I even thinking about!"

Nancy looked at the man's body marred with ghastly wounds, immediately took off her coat, and covered the man with it to calm herself down before gingerly reaching out her hand towards the man's nose.

"Thank goodness, he's still breathing..."

Seeing that the man was still alive, Nancy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after checking his injuries, she was startled!

The man's body was almost blown apart, those inside-out wounds were horrifically gruesome. If it were an ordinary person, even ten lives wouldn't have sufficed, and he would have died long ago!

At that moment, Nancy wanted to go back and call for help, but she found the man's breathing growing weaker. She only could bite her lip, squat down, grab his hands, and began to carry him with great difficulty!

The man was not heavy, and although Nancy was extremely strained, she could still manage to carry him!

One step after another!

But just as Nancy had walked more than ten steps, her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she turned her head to look at the man on her back, her expression filled with deep embarrassment and anger!

"You..."

At that moment, Nancy glared at the man, both embarrassed and angry.

"You... you shouldn't do this!"

At that moment, Nancy almost cried, knowing if she put him down, she definitely couldn't pick him back up again.

But now, while the man was unconscious, he somehow reacted, and that feeling almost made her break down!

Seeing that the man was still unresponsive like a dead dog, Nancy hummed angrily, could only bite her lip, and kept walking forward, although her movements looked quite bizarre and soul-stirring!
