The old saying, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future," is truly true. Even someone she disliked couldn't be completely unreasonable, and Gao Daxiong has now taught her a lesson.

They really teach people a lesson in no time.

"Xiaoyu, it's already like this, so don't be stubborn or provoke them. If there's anything, let them come at me. I'm already in this state anyway." Ye Qiu was calmer than Qin Xiaoyu.

"Sister Ye, I'll negotiate with them. I'll pay whatever it takes, as long as it's safe." Qin Xiaoyu's current worry is that Gao Daxiong only had K-Master teach them a lesson, not extort them, which is troublesome.

Time seemed to slow down, and Qin Xiaoyu felt increasingly cold. This was partly due to the coolness of the room, and partly because she hadn't eaten much at the banquet and was hungry.

"Humans really never suffer enough." Ye Qiu had just turned his head and actually dozed off. Now he opened his eyes and yawned.

"Sister Ye, you have a really strong mentality." Qin Xiaoyu said with sincere admiration.

"It's not that I'm strong, it's that I've had enough of life. I have no regrets, so I'll just go, saving myself a lot of trouble. But you, you shouldn't have done that."

Ye Qiu's words touched a nerve with Qin Xiaoyu. She shouldn't have done that.

I'm so unwilling to give up on so many things I haven't done. There's also A Lei, the children, and my family. I can't bear to leave any of them.

"If you're afraid of dying, then live a good life and don't do anything dangerous," Ye Qiu said earnestly.

"If I get back safely this time, I'm going to change my way of life." Qin Xiaoyu hadn't slept; she was lost in thought, feeling increasingly guilty towards A Lei. She was fine at first, but as soon as she said it, tears streamed down her face. Her hands were confined, and she couldn't wipe them away; she felt both wronged and ashamed.

Just then, the door opened and Ox-Head walked in.

His eyes immediately fell on Qin Xiaoyu. Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, he was stunned for a moment.

"Weren't you so powerful? Scared now?" Bull Head actually raised his big hand and wiped away Qin Xiaoyu's tears. He then handed her the milk carton and put the straw into her mouth.

Qin Xiaoyu was both hungry and thirsty. She took two big gulps of water, but then suddenly remembered that she had brought in a box of beef head meatballs, so she quickly stopped drinking.

"Give her the drink," Qin Xiaoyu pleaded, staring at Niu Tou.

Niu Tou seemed to have no resistance to her, obediently handing the milk to Ye Qiu's mouth, but his movements were rough, lacking the gentleness and patience he showed to Qin Xiaoyu.

"Hasn't Master K returned yet?" Qin Xiaoyu inquired first.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Bull Head chuckled at her question.

"Hurry up and finish, I want to go home." Qin Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears again when she mentioned home.

"You're backing down now? Where were you before? It seems unlikely you'll get back from Master K unscathed. Are you prepared to leave something behind?" Bull Head's words chilled Qin Xiaoyu and Ye Qiu to the bone.

“Isn’t Master K also getting paid to do things? I can pay too.” Qin Xiaoyu tried to find a breakthrough from Niu Tou.

"Our Master K is a man of honor, not someone who takes money from both sides? You're a smart man, so let me ask you, if you were in his shoes, taking money from both sides, would anyone dare to work for you next time?"

"But..." Qin Xiaoyu wanted to say, what if doing this job once means you never have to do it again?

Halfway through my sentence, I realized that saying this might be pointless. Do they even have enough money? One trip to the casino, and they're not worried about having enough?

The beliefs she had built up for herself began to crumble little by little.

"Um, I'd like to ask, what do you usually leave behind before you can leave?" Qin Xiaoyu began to prepare for the worst.

"You can choose whatever you have on you." Niu Tou could tell that Qin Xiaoyu was scared.

"My hair definitely won't do," Qin Xiaoyu said timidly.

“Sure, I’ve seen people with hair left behind.” Niu Tou’s words put Qin Xiaoyu at ease.

"You mean the skinned toad?" Ye Qiu's voice trembled.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaoyu asked hurriedly.

"There was this guy who offended K, K-Master, named Hua, Hua-zai. He said he wanted to keep his hair. K, K-Master, had his men pluck it out strand by strand. His whole head was covered in blood... After it grew back, he had a head full of scabies, and he was called, called, Peeling-Skin Scab Hua."

"What about keeping your fingernails?"

“Pulling it off completely.”

"Oh my god." Qin Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it anymore. This Master K was really ruthless. Falling into his hands meant certain death, unless...

Qin Xiaoyu shuddered. A Lei would burst in with a gun to rescue them. He would be in danger.

"Bullhead asked you to deliver food, and it's taken you this long!" Brother Tai walked in.

"Brother Tai, I'm not doing anything. I'm just keeping an eye on the two girls, afraid they might do something rash." Niu Tou stood aside with a grin.

"This girl has always been sharp-tongued and quite bold. Have you thought about what you want to keep?" It seems that Brother Tai overheard everything outside.

"I haven't decided yet." Qin Xiaoyu shook her head honestly, then couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"My suggestion?" Tai's usually stern face suddenly broke into a slight smile.

"Teeth, women all get plastic surgery to replace their teeth, it's all the same." Tai said, grabbing Qin Xiaoyu's chin, looking at her teeth, then letting go and saying, "It's a bit of a pity. How about ears? With long hair, no one can see them when they're down."

"Will it hurt a lot? Will I pay extra for anesthesia?" Qin Xiaoyu asked with a mournful face.

"Anesthetic? We don't have any. We have stimulants, do you want some?"

"No need, it's addictive after just one use, and it's hard to quit." Qin Xiaoyu shook her head.

She needs to think long-term. Even if she gets injured now, as long as she can go back, see A Lei, and keep A Lei out of danger, that's enough.

"You?" Tai turned to Ye Qiu.

"What should she leave behind? What should I leave behind?" Ye Qiu was completely at a loss and just listened to Qin Xiaoyu.

"These two are quite convenient; no need for any wailing or howling." Minotaur was very satisfied.

"That's now. When it's actually done, there will be plenty of demands." Brother Tai sneered.

They went outside, and Qin Xiaoyu's body slumped down, completely exhausted.

If keeping one ear could save her life, she would accept it. Life always has its hurdles to overcome; who can emerge unscathed?

Just thinking about the suffering that A Lei would have to endure made her willing to accept anything.

But why hasn't Master K shown up yet? She was extremely anxious and kept looking out the window.

Suddenly, the lights outside the window came on, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. Qin Xiaoyu and Ye Qiu exchanged a glance, somewhat flustered; it seemed things were about to get serious.

Bang! The door was flung open, and several people wearing white coats and masks entered. They were there for Qin Xiaoyu; they unlocked her handcuffs and dragged her outside.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a hospital bed, and several doctors dressed as doctors were gathered around it, holding scalpels.

"Should we cut off the ear now?" Qin Xiaoyu never expected that cutting off an ear would be so formal. But wouldn't it be inappropriate to do it in the yard? Shouldn't it be done under sterile conditions?

"No ear cutting." A doctor spoke in a deep, muffled voice, sounding like a bull's head.

"Then what should we cut?" Qin Xiaoyu panicked even more.

"Didn't you want to get rid of the useless parts? Then get your appendix removed."
