After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Watching Lin Yuqing enjoy her meal silently, Xiao Mingyang felt a warmth in his heart, as sweet as melted glutinous rice balls.

"Yuqing, since you like it, I'll cook it for you again in the future."

"Then forget it."

"...Yuqing, were you just brushing me off with what you said just now?"

"No, it's all from the heart."

"If you're sincere, let me cook you some glutinous rice balls."

"That's...ok."

Seeing Lin Yuqing's twitching lips, Xiao Mingyang suddenly smiled with a wicked grin.

……

In the dark, damp room, a shadowy figure crouched motionless on the floor. His arms were resting on his knees, his head buried in his arms, his breathing faint.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside, and blinding light shone on the dark figure, illuminating the mottled bloodstains on his body.

The man shifted slightly, looked up at the door, a faint smile appearing on his bruised face. His voice was weak, yet full of mockery as he said, "I thought you'd forgotten about me."

The people around him turned on the lights in the room, illuminating the disheveled figure on the floor. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the clock that had been missing for many days.

And standing opposite him at this moment, the old man with a slightly cold expression, who else could it be but Xiao Jincheng?

Pushing the wheelchair closer to the clock, Xiao Jincheng was surprised that he could still smile after such cruel torture. He couldn't help but praise him: "You survived such serious injuries, which proves that you were not destined to die."

The old bell leaned limply against the wall, its face unrecognizable, but its smile remained bright as it nonchalantly said, "Don't you know my skill is extending people's lives? If I can't even save my own, what's the difference between me and those quack doctors in the underworld? But could you give me some food first? I'm starving!"

Xiao Jincheng's tone seemed somewhat dismissive as he persuaded, "Your friends live here, but they only care about their own enjoyment and don't care about your life or death at all. Why would you keep those ridiculous promises for them?"

Licking his chapped lips, Da Zhong said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I don't want to cooperate with those stubborn guys either, but my master told me to help them to the end! Disobeying his orders is no joke; one wrong move and I could be expelled from the sect!"

"Isn't that perfect? ​​The Xiao family's doors are always open for you. You can come to my side, and I will definitely give you an important position and make you powerful and wealthy!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Jincheng's offer failed to sway Da Zhong in the slightest. Instead, Da Zhong sighed repeatedly, saying, "What's the use of all that stuff you're talking about? It's not even as practical as a bowl of wonton noodles! Mr. Xiao, just give up. If you want to spare my worthless life, have someone bring me some food. If you think I'm of no use whatsoever, then let me fend for myself here. I don't want to waste my breath talking; I'll get very thirsty!"

After saying that, the bell curled up again and began to play dead.

Looking at the stubborn Zhong, Xiao Jincheng was both angry and anxious. He just couldn't understand how someone who seemed so intelligent could be so obstinate!

Xiao Mingyang originally thought that by obtaining half of the Cocoa Hydrogen II formula from Lilith, he could spend a lot of money to have someone research the second half of the formula, thereby reversing the current decline of the Xiao family.

After so much time, no one had been able to decipher the formula for cocoa hydrocarbon II. Xiao Mingyang couldn't help but begin to doubt whether what Da Zhong had given him was genuine. Xiao Jincheng had thought that torture would pry open Da Zhong's mouth, but even as he was near death, he still wouldn't utter a single word.

Xiao Jincheng said, half seriously and half with emotion, "I'd like to see what kind of person your master is that makes you so devoted to him."

Da Zhong snorted, adjusted his posture, and continued to curl up, seemingly too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Jincheng.

Seeing that Da Zhong was acting as if he wouldn't talk to her if she didn't give him food, he could only sigh and order, "Have the kitchen check if there's anything that can be given to seriously injured patients, and get some."

Upon hearing that there was food, Da Zhong finally looked up and glanced at Xiao Jincheng. His eyes were glazed over, and it seemed that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

In no time, a fragrant bowl of poached egg and tomato noodles was served in front of Da Zhong. His previously gloomy eyes lit up, and without caring whether the noodles were hot or not, he picked them up and started slurping them down.

Soon, the noodles were gone. Da Zhong tilted his head back and drank all the soup, then wiped his mouth, as if he had come back to life.

After letting out a big burp, Da Zhong leaned against the wall contentedly, lazily looking at Xiao Jincheng, and asked, "So, what do you want to use me for?"

Hearing Da Zhong's straightforward question, Xiao Jincheng was full of admiration and said, "I really like your honesty. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. I need you to help me kill Lin Yuqing!"

“Impossible,” Da Zhong refused without even thinking. “If you want the formula for cocoa hydrocarbon 2, then maybe we can talk about it, but I can’t agree to something like this.”

"But what if it's a life for a life?" Xiao Jincheng seemed to have anticipated that Da Zhong wouldn't agree to his request, so he remained calm and composed, saying, "Would you be tempted to exchange Xuan'er's life for Lin Yuqing's life?"

Big Bell rolled his eyes and snorted, "I think you should take my life first!"

“I knew you wouldn’t agree, so I prepared a little gift for you.” Xiao Jincheng took out a syringe, waved it in front of the clock, and said, “You should know a lot about this stuff.”

With a quick glance at the syringe, Da Zhong said with certainty, "Cocoa Hydrogen II!"

“That’s right,” Xiao Jincheng said with a slight smile, “If it can control Lilith, it can control you too. If you don’t want to repeat Lilith’s mistakes, you’d better listen to me and cooperate with me.”

Faced with Xiao Jincheng's threat, Da Zhong snorted coldly and said, "You really are cunning. You want Yuqing's life but don't want to ruin your relationship with Mingyang and his son, so you make someone else take the blame for you. It's a pity you picked the wrong person. If I could be controlled by drugs, I wouldn't be researching this kind of thing."

He ordered someone to inject the needle into the bell's body, and Xiao Jincheng raised his chin confidently, saying, "How will you know it won't work if you don't try? Anyway, I have many other ways to make you submit. I have plenty of time, and we can try them one by one."

Watching the other person remove the needle with a blank expression, Da Zhong asked with a hint of curiosity, "Why do you value me so much and have me do this kind of thing?"

"First, you're Mingyang's friend, so it's easy for you to make the move. Second, after the incident, you're no longer their good friend or your master's good apprentice. With nowhere else to turn, you'll have no choice but to cooperate with me. I'm determined to have you, because you're a gold mine that can't be dug out of you!"
