Chapter 48 No One Survives

In the eyes of those who seek profit, cheap family affection can never compare to the power and money filled with desire.

In the eyes of the Earl, Alice was not his daughter, but more like a mascot that he kept on the Gold Mountain to demonstrate his power.

Apart from money, she had nothing, and even her right to life and freedom was in the hands of the count.

"I'm going to find Brother Ling, Xiaoli, please come with me." Xiaoxue's eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

She held Yili in her arms and walked out the door.

It's strange to say, except for the servants who suddenly appeared when Xiaoxue finished her meal and was about to go to bed, the rest of the time, this huge castle was empty and there was no sign of a servant.

The huge castle is bright and airy, but it is difficult to conceal the loneliness and coldness within.

The gorgeous corridor is rather cold and eerie.

Barefoot, she knocked on the door of the Matrix.

"Brother Zero, are you asleep?"

The door was opened.

Ling stood behind the door, looking down at Xiaoxue, who was a head shorter than him: "No, aren't you sleeping yet?"

Xiaoxue held the doll and looked up at the beautiful Ling: "I just read a story. It was so scary that I couldn't sleep."

Ling paused, then stepped aside to make way: "Come in."

"Okay!" Xiaoxue smiled, like a snowball, looking so sweet.

Yili has no resistance to cute things and feels like her heart has been melted by them.

She had no resistance to this innocent and well-behaved cub.

But the next second, Yili could no longer transform.

The scene inside the house was extremely bloody.

The servants who had just appeared before them were now piled in the corner of the room like a pile of meat paste.

Including Xiaoxue's father, who had just been gentle and loving.

Click.

Yili was let go by Xiaoxue and fell to the ground.

"Sister Xiaoxue, have you discovered me?"

The mother's cold voice sounded behind them.

Through the light, Yili saw the original shape of the eighteen heads.

Just as she was about to take the critical hit, her vision went black again.

A dark, damp, and cold feeling swept over her body.

"Dr. Fang Xin, please accept my condolences."

Li Jue patted Fang Xin's shoulder and comforted her.

"It's all those damn robbers' fault. If it weren't for them, my husband and child wouldn't have gotten into trouble." Fang Xin's voice was filled with deep pain and resentment.

"Dr. Fang Xin, the robbers were shot dead by the police on the spot. It's a case of evil getting what it deserves. Your husband and children would be heartbroken if they knew you were in so much pain. Our lab still needs you, so please cheer up."

The male colleague next to him hurried over to help Li Jue comfort Fang Xin.

"That's enough, stop talking." Fang Xin picked up Xiaoxue's favorite rabbit doll and said in a dull and sad voice, "I want to be alone for a while."

"Okay, Dr. Fang Xin."

Fang Xin walked away with her back to them, but Yi Li could see that they were all staring at Fang Xin, like hungry wild dogs seeing a piece of fragrant meat bone.

Yi Li remembered the contents of Fang Xin's diary.

There's a good chance they've already been replaced by that thing.

Li Jue is no longer the same Li Jue, and they are no longer the same.

Fang Xin's lost family members have now become fish on the chopping board.

As the scene changed, she was placed on the office chair by Fang Xin.

"Dr. Fang Xin still hasn't forgotten Xiaoxue. He always keeps her doll with him."

"Yeah, it's been three years since that incident, and Fang Xin is still unwilling to accept a new love. What a pity."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Dr. Fang Xin is coming in soon."

Fang Xin, a resolute and decisive woman, walked in with the clatter of her high heels. She looked at the researchers who had been waiting for a long time and said in a cold voice, "How dare you have time to gossip about other people when your data is such a mess? You'd better spend more time on improving the data you have."

Several researchers immediately lowered their heads and dared not speak.

After receiving an hour-long criticism and education from Fang Xin, he was released.

Even Yi Li was frightened by Fang Xin's murderous look and was forced to experience a high-pressure training session.

Fang Xin picked her up and sat her on a chair. She looked at her with a gentle gaze mixed with sadness and pain: "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't protect you well."

"If you knew the truth, would you still forgive my selfishness? I was too confident and thought I was doing you good by sending you away. I didn't expect that I was the executioner who pushed you into the abyss."

Warm tears fell on her body.

Yili felt the regret and pain of a mother.

"Mom shouldn't have been so confident as to provoke that thing, let alone drag you into the water. If I weren't your mother, you wouldn't have died at that ignorant age. It's Mom's fault."

Fang Xin gently combed the doll's hair, which had begun to fade and become old. Its eyes were still pure red, reflecting the woman's weathered and tired face.

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Dr. Fang Xin, is it convenient now?"

It’s Li Jue.

Fang Xin quickly wiped away her tears, hiding the pain and vulnerability in her heart, and returned to her former majestic and awe-inspiring Dr. Fang Xin, who made people dare not look directly at her and was filled with a sense of oppression: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Li Jue, wearing a researcher's uniform and holding several data files, walked in. "Dr. Fang Xin, I have some data that needs your review and signature."

"Put it here."

Fang Xin's voice was cold.

Li Jue placed the data on Fang Xin's desk, but was reluctant to leave.

"Anything else?"

Fang Xin picked up a data book and glanced at Li Jue.

Li Jue took out an invitation from her bag and handed it to Fang Xin: "Dr. Fang Xin, Dr. Tru would like to invite you to participate in the ten-day carnival to relax your body and mind."

"Help me withdraw." Fang Xin said coldly while flipping through the data sheet: "I don't have so much time to do those meaningless things."

"But... Dr. Tru said that if you don't go, our experimental funding will be cut off." Li Jue looked at Fang Xin hesitantly: "You know, since your husband passed away, he didn't leave much inheritance, and our experimental funding has become..."

Li Jue didn't finish.

But Fang Xin knew what Li Jue wanted to express.

Fang Xin put down the data sheet and thought about the mess she had encountered after her husband's death.

There was no will, leaving only a group of heartless collateral relatives who came like a pack of vicious wolves to divide up the huge family inheritance.

Apart from experiments, she is not good at dealing with these dirty intrigues.

After being schemed against time and again by those people, although the inheritance she received was considerable, it was indeed difficult to use it to run this huge laboratory.

She also had to rely on investments from other family groups.

Now, Tru has grasped her weak spot and knows what to do to make her obey willingly.
