The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
Yu Hui knelt beside the guardrail, enduring the pain and begging Lu An Ning to kill her with her remaining sanity. She was almost unable to control herself.
Perhaps it was too painful, and tears flowed from the corners of Yu Hui's eyes. Lu Anning's heart ached as he saw her in pain.
There are so many people imprisoned here. Is everyone suffering like Yu Hui?
Those who died were all failed medicine men who could not endure the pain brought by the medicine and died from self-harm.
She frowned but didn't let go.
"Don't you think about your family? They must be worried sick if they can't find you. You have to go back to see them alive."
"Alive?"
Her face was distorted with pain: "Will I ever be able to leave alive?"
"It will happen. As long as you hold on, it will happen. I will find a way for us to leave this damn place together."
Yu Hui smiled bitterly, tears streaming down her face. She didn't want to die here. She wanted to go back and have dinner with her parents. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten her mother's homemade food.
After getting through the first night, the exhausted Yu Hui finally got some sleep. Two guards came to check on her and were surprised to find that Yu Hui was still alive. Both of them were stunned.
"She was able to hold on and fall asleep?"
Another person smiled awkwardly, "She's lucky! Let's observe her for a while. If she's alright, we'll report back to the higher-ups."
Yu Hui, who had managed to survive, caught the attention of the guards, who brought two portions of food and some water to ensure they wouldn't starve to death. The two portions looked similar, but Lu Anning's was significantly larger.
She was so thirsty after enduring it for so long, but she didn't dare drink too much at once. She called Yu Hui to get up and have some water and food, and the world entered a brief period of peace.
The pain in his shoulder eased a little. Lu Anning took the anti-inflammatory medicine brought by the guard. He felt sleepy and fell asleep with Yu Hui.
At this time, Rose was furious because of the latest data sent from the laboratory. The person being scolded was Aaron, the man who lost to Bai Lu in the Colosseum yesterday.
Rose caught a glimpse of the faint scratches on his neck and slapped him in the face with her backhand. The tall, muscular man, about 1.8 meters tall, didn't even dare to dodge when facing Rose.
"Useless thing, thinking about the things in your crotch all day long, sooner or later you will die on a woman."
Aaron lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. At his feet were the experimental data that Rose had thrown to the ground in anger.
"A woman was sent back last night. I heard she's still alive. Maybe there will be new discoveries."
"Still alive?" Rose frowned, then quickly relaxed. "If he's not dead, then I'll keep a close eye on him. By the way, what's the situation with Professor An?"
The man hesitated for a moment. "It's still the same. He doesn't do anything. I think he's been too good to her. These people won't cry until they see the coffin."
Rose sneered: "If everyone is like you, nothing can be accomplished. Get out of here and don't get in my way."
Tang Jingyuan sat aside, eating breakfast while watching Rose lose her temper, and his mood finally improved a little. It was not until Aaron picked up the data on the ground and left that Tang Jingyuan spoke slowly.
"I told you earlier that I could get Professor An to agree. If you believed me, you wouldn't be so angry now."
"I believe you?"
Rose snorted softly: "You are too powerful. I dare not believe you."
"No matter how powerful I am, I'm still in your hands. Or perhaps you simply have no confidence in your own empire. I've arrived on this airtight island. How can a pair of fists defeat the machine guns you're firing at me from all sides?"
Rose was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Jingyuan suspiciously.
"Do you really have a way to persuade Professor An to help me?"
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Do I have a better choice now?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Tang Jingyuan continued, "Didn't you bring Professor An here so she could help you achieve a breakthrough in both technical skills? Continuing the stalemate is just a waste of time. So what's the point of bringing her here?"
Rose frowned, and her thoughts finally softened.
"Even if I let you walk out of this door on your own, you won't be able to leave this island. Not to mention, you're taking a powerless female professor with you. Okay! I'll arrange a meeting for you guys later."
"Wait."
"Why? What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips: "What benefits will I get if I convince Professor An to help you?"
As he spoke, his eyes revealed the shrewdness of a businessman.
"What do you want?"
"I want Lu Anning."
"Impossible." Rose refused without a second thought: "Except for this, I can consider everything else."
"She's my wife, and I just want to keep her safe."
The Colosseum was too dangerous. After the bloodbath last night, he wasn't sure how he would spend the night peacefully. Now that he had the chance to make a request, he had to seize it.
"I can only promise not to let her die. Otherwise... Professor An really doesn't cooperate. If she gets angry, I'll use her for experiments. Anyway, I have plenty of time. If she doesn't help me, I'll use her to test the medicine. It seems to be a good idea."
Tang Jingyuan held his breath, knowing that he could no longer make Rose give in, so he could only nod.
"Remember what you said, don't hurt her."
"certainly."
Rose clapped her hands and ordered her men to bring An Li from the lab. Tang Jingyuan sat quietly at the dining table, eating the remaining food, and was already thinking about what he should say to An Li when he saw her later.
When An Li was brought to the room and saw Tang Jingyuan sitting there eating like a guest, she was stunned at first, then snorted coldly.
"Don't waste your energy. No matter what you say, I won't help you hurt anyone."
