On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"But why did you come so soon?" Chi Yuxing noticed the door being locked by the guy with a crew cut, and tilted his head to look at Chen Qian.

"That's pretty slow." Chen Qian pursed his lips, his mouth dry. "He said he wanted to pay me, but I said forget it. He didn't even try to raise the price, he just called someone to take me down."

"How much did he give you?"

"One hundred million."

"Wow, what a big deal." Chi Yuxing's voice was even hoarseer than at the beginning, and every word he said was only a breath sound.

He paused, cleared his throat, and then continued, "How dare you complain that this is too little? You're really promising. He will wash all the money for you. What a great business."

"It's obviously him being stingy—" Chen Qian curled his lips and snorted in disdain, "That's why I said he has an antisocial personality, and I kindly suggested that he stop hiding his illness and see a doctor as soon as possible."

At this point, Chen Qian seemed to have thought of something very interesting, and his face was relieved. "Otherwise, there will be no chance after he dies. He is almost eighty years old. How many years can he live?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha - that old bastard hates it most when people say he's dying." Hearing this, Chi Yuxing ignored the injuries on his face and laughed loudly.

He panted, his expression regretful, "I should have said the same thing that day, what a pity."

Because it is in the basement, there are no windows in the room. Only the incandescent lamp above the head is always on, but at night, the light will automatically go out.

At that time, this small space will fall into complete darkness, a chaotic darkness where not even the outline can be seen.

After being tied up for a long time, Chen Qiancai suddenly admired the skills of the guy with the crew cut.

He tied the hemp rope very skillfully, so that it would not make people feel uncomfortable, but it could not be broken free.

When he was bored, he would tilt his head to study how to tie the rope. However, after trying several times, he still couldn't figure out the knot, so he simply gave up.

The guy with the buzz cut always comes after a long time, sometimes twice a day, sometimes three times, and the time of his coming is also irregular, as if it is purely based on his own willingness.

Chen Qian discovered this every time he asked about the time when he came.

"When did you come in?" After being locked up for three or four days, Chen Qian's voice became hoarse for some reason.

Chi Yuxing's mental state was getting worse day by day, and now he even felt dazed when he heard Chen Qian's voice.

He slowly asked back, "When did Shi Gongxi receive the video?"

Chen Qian counted the days in his mind, "It's been a week, right?"

"That means it's been a week since I came here." Chi Yuxing said.

"Speaking of videos..." Chen Qian took a few deep breaths, his words filled with indignation, "Why can Chi Mu lie in bed while we have to hang on."

"That's true. He still lives in a single room." Chi Yuxing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is the power of capital."

Then silence fell between the two again.

Things changed after about half a month, which was what Chen Qian had thought about.

He wasn't sure if it was half a month, maybe even longer.

However, this period of detention made him understand one thing indirectly, that is, Chi Zheng really felt that Chi Mu was an inseparable part of him.

Otherwise it would be difficult to be like it is now, where I have to keep Chen Qian hanging on to his life, but at the same time I don’t want him to have an easy time.

That day, when the incandescent lamp was still on.

As usual, the guy with the crew cut came in to bring food to the two of them. This was also a rare time when the two of them could move around freely.

It was only about twenty minutes, a very short time. It was after they got familiar with each other and the guy with the crew cut made sure that they would not do anything wrong that he gave them special care.

Just as the two of them were frantically wiping their faces with the wet wipes that the guy with the crew cut had brought in, there was a sudden burst of loud commotion in the corridor, which kept drifting in from the gap in the closed door, as if something had happened and caused a commotion.

Someone was shouting something, but it was too loud to hear clearly. It was mixed with the sound of many footsteps, going up and down the stairs in a chaotic manner.

Chen Qian glanced sideways to see the reaction of the guy with the crew cut.

He was very calm, acting as if nothing had happened. He also wanted to urge Chi Yuxing and Chen Qian to move faster so that they would not be discovered by the outsiders.

Chen Qian asked him tentatively: "Brother, what's going on outside?"

"It's none of your business, so stop asking." The guy with a crew cut glanced at Chen Qian and waved his hands randomly.

Chi Yuxing secretly rubbed the wet wipes in his palm and rubbed it again and again.

Suddenly, he paused noticeably in his drinking action, and then he began to cough violently as if he had choked, each cough becoming more and more violent, almost throwing his lungs out of his trachea.

Chen Qian looked at Chi Yuxing helplessly, hurriedly discarded the wet towel in his hand and went to support him. He said to the buzz cut brother worriedly: "Go and see what's wrong with him. Is he choked or sick?"

"How would I know that?" The guy with the crew cut frowned and looked at Chi Yuxing's non-stop state, with a confused look on his face.

"Then come and help me, help him up and breathe." Chen Qian waved at him, "I don't have the strength to pull him up."

"Okay, as long as he can breathe freely." The guy with a crew cut was very straightforward. He stood up with his hands on the ground, and took two quick steps to the other side of Chi Yuxing.

He held Chi Yuxing's arm and lifted the man up together with Chen Qian, looking very serious.

Maybe it's because he's too serious.

Fortunately, he was too serious, and fortunately, he had some friendship for Chi Yuxing.

That's why he didn't notice that Chen Qian had actually let go of his hand when he started to exert force.
