Song Ting had grown accustomed to it. He had witnessed Song Fan in action, both shooting and engaging in a fierce confrontation with special forces during a banquet that almost blew up a building.

Aware that Song Fan preferred not to delve into these matters, he simply said, “Little sister has her reasons. Let’s not pry too much.”

The others had to suppress their inquiries as their big brother spoke. Song Fan rose and declared, “I’ll return to my room.”

Upon seeing Song Fan depart, the others followed suit, retiring to their rooms for rest. Only Song Ting ventured out into the night.

A black SUV awaited at the entrance. Without a word, Song Ting entered, and the driver set the vehicle in motion.

The car traversed for a considerable duration before halting. Song Ting disembarked and followed the driver to a factory. They entered through a small door on the first floor and descended a staircase.

A spacious underground facility greeted them, featuring modern equipment. The iron cage, a telltale sign of a prison, stood out amidst the contemporary surroundings.

Numerous masked individuals toiled inside. At the sight of Song Ting, they swiftly halted their activities and bowed in deference.

Song Ting proceeded to the innermost part of the cage, where Song Yin lay.

Unlike other cages, Song Yin’s was suspended in the air, with the bottom serving merely to prevent her from falling. It seemed on the verge of collapse.

This was a ruse, but it succeeded in intimidating Song Yin. Already fearing heights, she dared not move in the cage, afraid it would give way at any moment.

When she saw Song Ting approaching, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She mumbled, “Big Brother, why are you here?”

Upon observing Song Yin’s plight, Song Ting turned to the masked man beside him. “Starting today, you may torment her. Ensure she has no respite daily.”

In the past, Song Ting had cherished Song Yin, considering her a child from his father’s new marriage. He wanted to avoid giving his father the impression that he couldn’t accept Aunt Meng. Also, Song Yin was well-behaved and cute, and never caused trouble.

However, this was all a facade. Even as a child, she harbored a capacity for malevolence. Not only did she harm his little sister, but she also poisoned Song Kai.

Their mother’s demise was undoubtedly linked to their greed, shattering the once-happy family.

Song Yin burst into laughter upon hearing Song Ting’s words. “Do you find satisfaction in treating me like this? No matter how much you do, it won’t absolve your guilt. You all banished Song Fan to the countryside for so many years. It’s all your fault!”

Naturally, Song Ting knew he couldn’t make amends. No matter his actions, it would be futile. His sister’s days in the countryside were already a reality.

He coldly gazed at Song Yin and replied, “Whatever you say is useless. You have to endure these punishments.”

The masked man maneuvered a forklift over, opened the ring on the cage, and then transported it elsewhere.

Song Yin asked in panic, “Where are you taking me?”

“They’re taking you to the water prison.” Song Ting’s tone remained calm. “That’s the most severe punishment in the Song family. Submerging someone in water prevents them from sitting; they can only stand without respite. Over time, they exhaust all their strength, and their skin deteriorates from prolonged soaking. But don’t worry; they won’t let you die. They’ll pull you out periodically.”

Song Yin had never fathomed such a punishment existed. The mere description was enough to terrify her.

She threw herself at the edge of the cage, shouting, “Big Brother, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. Don’t treat me like this.”

“You’re already fearful at this level. Alone in the countryside, little sister will be even more terrified.” When Song Ting hardened his heart, no one could sway his decision.

After saying that, he turned and left. He disliked this place. During his initial visit, he couldn’t sleep well for two days.

Yet, now, an indescribable sadness lingered in his heart. His hatred could only find an outlet in this manner.

After dealing with Song Yin, he instructed, “Notify me immediately if she provides any testimony.”

The masked men nodded, respectfully escorting him back.

Song Fan refrained from inquiring about Song Yin’s punishment. Only two days remained until summer break, and the competition for “Future City” had reached its climax.

Sunflower, a prominent player on the leaderboard, garnered widespread support.

Players from foreign servers, particularly one with the ID Prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, showcased formidable skills. He was undefeated like Song Fan.

Upon anticipating a match with him, Song Fan was eager for the encounter. The foreign player had even posted accolades for Sunflower on the website, expressing a desire to spar soon..
