Lin Shuyou took out water and compressed biscuits, feeding some to the four people one by one.
The girl who had pleaded earlier refused to eat and continued to beg for mercy.
Lin Shuyou skipped her and fed the next person.
Finally, he took out tape and sealed the mouths of all four again.
Lin Shuyou stood up and said:
"By tomorrow morning, this end will be burned off, and you'll regain your freedom. We have other matters to handle, so you can't leave for now to avoid alerting the enemy.
This might not be very nice, but after all, we're the ones who saved you, and we don't need your gratitude, so let's call it even."
After explaining, Lin Shuyou left. Soon after, he returned, placed some money beside the candle, and thoughtfully divided it into four.
When he came out again, Lin Shuyou ran into Tan Wenbin, who was setting up an isolation array outside.
"Brother Bin, what if the array you set up keeps them from getting out in the morning?"
