Chapter 18 Don't Be Afraid

Zhong Wan quickly shook her head, struggling along with the little baby.

As she moved, feeling the warmth on her face, Zhong Wan didn't hesitate to open her mouth and bite down hard.

"Meow!"

"hiss!"

Feeling the pain in his hand, Shao Kaifeng quickly threw the kitten off: "A beast is a beast! It deserves to die!"

The small body fell into the bucket, splashing water droplets.

"Zhong Wan?!"

"fine."

Looking at the faint mist rising in front of me, and at the fur scattered on the water's surface that was exactly the same as the fur on Huahua's body,

Zhong Wan's heart sank completely.

How can people be so evil?

Does he even have a heart?!

Zhong Wan felt utterly powerless; the faint pain seemed to be magnified countless times in an instant.

All I could hear was his unrestrained laughter and Hua Hua's hoarse roars.

And the kitten's increasingly weak struggles...

"Useless."

Looking at the kitten that had become quiet after only a short while, Shao Kaifeng said disdainfully, "What a useless thing, not fun at all."

Zhong Wan didn't know why the kittens had all closed their eyes, but she could still see things.

Shao Kaifeng glanced at the kitten with disdain, then turned away.

Just as I was about to lift my foot, as if remembering something fun, I picked up a strainer and scooped out the kitten's body.

A smile played on his lips, a smile both wanton and cruel. He casually placed it in front of Huahua.

A place that Hua Hua can see by turning her head slightly.

Zhong Wan then realized that her perspective was the same as what Hua Hua's eyes could see.

Looking at her little one, who was only a fist's distance away but had lost his life forever, Hua Hua's eyes filled with tears.

His throat was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.

It screamed in pain and hoarsely, struggling...

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Yan'an noticed her presence, reached out and took her small hand, and covered her eyes with one hand.

Feeling the cool water under his palm, he silently pulled the person into his arms.

His eyes remained stubbornly fixed on that scumbag.

But Shao Kaifeng's smile only grew wider.

As he walked, he said, "Don't worry, you'll be reunited soon."

Zhong Wan held Lin Yan'an's large hands with both of hers, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw him turn on the camera. Then she sat down again in the direction of Hua Hua's lower body, put on gloves, and picked up the tools.

The light flickered for a moment, and Shao Kaifeng, holding the scalpel, glanced up but didn't pay it any mind, continuing to dissect the body bit by bit.

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out.

The light bulb overhead suddenly exploded, scattering countless fragments in an instant.

Shao Kaifeng was startled and quickly looked up. In a daze, he saw countless small animals rushing towards him angrily.

"roll!"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Shao Kaifeng looked terrified and quickly backed away, but he suddenly slipped and fell, dropping the scalpel to the ground with a thud.

"Meow!"

The fierce, hoarse meows rang out again. Shao Kaifeng sat on the ground, looking up at Huahua on the operating table, his expression both ferocious and terrified.

His hand groped on the ground, and after finding the stool beside him, he picked it up without hesitation and threw it towards Hua Hua.

"You damned beast! Die!"

"Flower..."

Upon hearing Zhong Wan's voice, Zhong Yang and Pei Xingyu immediately turned to look.

Seeing the tears in the corners of her eyes and noticing the slight pain in her expression, the two quickly went over to her.

"sister?"

"Auntie?"

"don't want……"

Her voice seemed stuck in her throat, soft and indistinct.

"That damn scumbag!"

Zhong Wan's face was covered in sweat, and fine strands of hair clung to her skin, blurring her features, but her voice grew clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, which were bloodshot and filled with hatred.

Pei Xingyu and Zhong Yang were startled by what they saw, exchanged a glance instinctively, and then quickly asked with concern:

"Sis? It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

"Auntie, are you alright?"

Zhong Yang squatted down by the bed, holding Zhong Wan's hand in one hand and gently patting the back of her hand to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."

"You'll be fine once you wake up."

"Take a deep breath, it's okay."

The familiar voice was full of concern. Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan subconsciously did as she was told, taking a deep breath to calm her wildly beating heart.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again, her eyes filled with only calm.

However, Zhong Yang, who knew her well, felt a flicker of surprise upon seeing this.

He pursed his lips, suppressing his doubts.

"Auntie, have some water to calm your nerves."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yang turned around, took the item, and handed it to Zhong Wan.

Zhong Wan sat up, leaned against the headboard, and took the cup. She lowered her head and lightly touched the rim of the cup with her red lips. As soon as the water entered her mouth, tears instantly slid into the cup.

Zhong Wan closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and gulped it down.

[Host, host, would you like your man's memories erased?]

The mechanical voice that suddenly rang in her mind made Zhong Wan pause. She lowered her eyes and asked in her mind, "Eliminate everything, or just eliminate the part about you?"

[It can only eliminate all.]

Zhong Wan slowly swallowed the water in her mouth, her slender fingers gently stroking the cup. She asked thoughtfully, "Can it be eliminated at any time, or must it be done now? And what will happen if your existence is exposed if it's not eliminated?"

[It can be removed at any time if the host needs it.]

[So what if he knows I exist? He can't tell anyone about me except you. Only he knows. (`へ′*)ノ.]

Hearing the system's arrogant voice, a smile flashed in Zhong Wan's eyes: "Then can you help me find the video recorded by Shao Kaifeng?"

[Waaah, the system can't be found.]

Zhong Wan frowned: "Then how did you find out Lin Yan'an's identity before?"

[He's right in front of you, and I used my yin energy to peek at his ID card.]

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but sigh: "Then let's leave it for now. Don't erase his memory yet. I need his help."

"By the way, what do you need to erase memories?"

[His yin energy, oh, drain his yin energy and erase his memory.]

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan's lips curled up unconsciously, as if she had thought of a good idea: "Drain his yin energy? Good idea. I'll do it tonight. Can you convert his yin energy into resentment? Since you like torturing people so much, let that beast experience it too?"

[...]

【What are you trying to do? Murder is illegal!】

"Ha, I'm not that bold,"

At this point, Zhong Wan shrugged and chuckled, "We have to try... let the pen follow the heart... and see if it works."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Yan'an, watching the black mist surrounding him eagerly: "Wouldn't it be more effective to use yin energy as ink?"

Lin Yan'an: "...I heard everything."

An unexpected voice suddenly rang in Zhong Wan's mind. She was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Lin Yan'an's face. Looking at his tightly closed eyes, she was full of question marks.

As if sensing her doubt, Lin Yan'an clicked his tongue: "So, can you wake me up now?"

"Huh, system! What's going on?!"

【╥﹏╥...Should we wake him up?】

Zhong Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Wake up."

After saying that, she sighed softly. Just as her hand holding the cup began to move, she saw Zhong Yang's hand reach out to her.

She naturally placed the cup in his hand, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and asked curiously, "Where is this?"

"The hospital, Auntie, you don't know, you and my uncle suddenly fainted and we couldn't wake them up no matter what we did, it scared us to death."

Hospital? Zhong Wan, with her sharp ears, only caught that word. Looking at the obviously expensive room in front of her, and then at Pei Xingyu, she asked with a hint of pain, "How much per day?"

"A thousand? That's quite cheap for a double room, Auntie, let me tell you..."

One thousand! That's like cutting off a piece of her flesh!

Zhong Wan sat up straight instantly and reached out to pull back the blanket: "Don't say anything yet, pack your things and get discharged!"
