Kong Sang covered her face. Well, Lan Ye is really cunning. Now that he said that, Nie Yan is even less likely to let go.

As expected, Nie Yan not only didn't loosen his grip, but instead pressed down even harder.

Lan Ye curled her lips, gave a warning, and fired immediately. Hesitating for even a second longer would be a waste of this opportunity.

"Bang!" The bullet pierced through his shoulder, blood splattering everywhere, but Nie Yan seemed unaffected and continued stomping.

Lan Ye wanted to continue shooting and torturing people, but the conditions did not allow it. The Nie family members stopped him, and without saying a word, two people held Nie Yan down while one person struck Nie Yan in the abdomen.

Nie Yan bent over in pain, and his legs naturally lifted up.

Qiu Ning, who had almost been trampled to death, got up, coughing violently. After recovering, he looked deranged and said in a hoarse voice, "Nie Jingxing, no matter how much you like Nie Kongsang, it's useless. She is destined to die."

“Your future doesn’t include her. Look at me. I went to great lengths to get to your side. I have Nie Kongsang’s beauty and your favorite peach blossom eyes. In the future I see, you will become king in the apocalypse. I want to stand by your side.”

Kong Sang's expression was strange; Qiu Ning had seen the future!

Yu Wei and the others also looked grave. They hadn't even told Kong Sang about Nie Jingxing becoming king in the end times, so how did this woman know?

It's also a rebirth... but it doesn't seem like it!

Qiu Ning became increasingly frantic, pointing at Nie Kongsang and saying, "Your future won't include her. I'm not lying. I can see the future. Nie Jingxing, are you going to spend the rest of your life reminiscing about a woman who died young? Clearly... ah!"

High-pressure water jets rushed into Qiu Ning's mouth. Lin Changli said coldly, "Your whole family will die young. Your mouth stinks. Don't open it and stink."

“President Lin, please stop. I’m very interested in the apocalypse this girl is talking about, and I believe you all are too. How about I ask her a few questions?” Nie Qu asked Qiu Ning with interest in his eyes.

Lin Changli's expression darkened; he was filled with murderous intent.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the news coming out of the apocalypse; what he's worried about is that it might reveal Sang Sang's physical condition. If Qiu Ning really says something he shouldn't, Kong Sang will find it difficult to gain a foothold among humans.

Who knew what Qiu Ning knew? Just as he was thinking about how to silence her without leaving a trace, Nie Jingxing reached out and lifted Qiu Ning up from a distance, openly snapping her neck without touching her at all—a completely remote operation.

Only after the body fell to the ground did he say with annoyance, "It's so noisy."

Lan Li looked at the corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed, and said, "Nie Jingxing, there are still laws in this world. It's not your place to kill people. Are you openly defying the law?"

"If you have enough confidence, you can use the army to take me down. If you can't, then what you're saying is nonsense. After the funeral, you can leave."

Nie Jingxing turned to leave, but Nie Qu pressed down on his shoulder.

“General Lan, Jing Xing doesn’t kill people randomly. This girl should be the serial killer. As for evidence, I think Ayan should have plenty of it. After all, my Nie Qu’s child can’t be stupid.”

“Killing a heinous person is not a matter of national law or criminal law. Just consider it the duty of the Nie family as citizens. Jingxing is my pride, and I don’t want you to have any misunderstandings about him.”

Lan Li sneered. Nie Qu had already said everything, so what could he do? In the end, as long as the gene drug was still being produced, the Nie family would not fall.

Nie Qu then looked to the side and said, "Kong Sang, I've always known that your elder brother likes you. You two aren't blood siblings, so naturally there aren't many concerns."

"If you marry Jingxing, then Father Nie will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Nie family and will retire to the base. You two can work together to ensure the prosperity of the Nie family, how about that?"

"Dream on!" Lin Changli said coldly, holding Kong Sang tightly in his arms.

"No, I don't want to! My sister is my sister, she can't marry my older brother! Dad, you're crazy, you're crazy!" Nie Yan cried out in anguish.

With a single glance from Nie Qu, Nie Yan was struck unconscious again. The difference in their attitudes toward their two sons was like night and day.

Nie Kongsang held Lin Changli's arm reassuringly and shook her head, saying, "Dad, as you can see, I may not get married, but if I do, my future husband will be no one else."

“Sometimes I’m really curious why you care so much about your older brother, to the point that you’d give in to whatever he wants.”

"Even if I'm not your daughter, what about Ayan? Has she never thought to pay attention to how twisted her youngest son's life is?"

Seemingly surprised that Kong Sang would ask this, Nie Qu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because Jing Xing is my most perfect son, I naturally pay more attention to him."

Nie Jingxing scoffed, shaking off Nie Qu's arm and saying, "Disgusting."

Nie Qu showed no embarrassment, but said helplessly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that about Father?"

"Father? You're overthinking it. I've had the Nie family's shares for a long time, and Asang and I can both develop gene therapy. What value do you think you have? If you don't want to die, go back to your base and live in seclusion. The Nie family doesn't welcome you."

Another group of men in black appeared and confronted Nie Qu's men. The leaders were Zhou Jin and Julie Pello, whom they hadn't seen for a while. Both sides were clearly intent on killing each other.

Not to mention the others, even Kong Sang was shocked and wide-eyed. Nie Jingxing had broken free of control. How could this be?

To ensure that Nie Jingxing's episodes were not truly out of control, Nie Qu had a chip implanted in Nie Jingxing's spine when he was young. Only Nie Qu could control this chip.

When Nie Jingxing loses control, Nie Qu can manipulate the chip to break Nie Jingxing's spine, instantly crippling him.

When he was young, Kongsang had witnessed firsthand that immortality existed and that cripples could be restored, but the recovery process was... horrific.

Later, Nie Jingxing grew stronger and stronger. At the base, she fought with Nie Qu many times because of the blood she had been drained. When Nie Qu couldn't control the situation, he would use the control chip, because Nie Jingxing's spatial abilities were too strong.

She had always thought that Nie Jingxing would be imprisoned like this for the rest of his life, but what's going on now? Why didn't this happen in her previous life?

Kong Sang was so surprised that he desperately wanted to know if the chip was still there.

Pushing Lin Changli aside, he ran to Nie Jingxing's side and reached in to touch the back of Nie Jingxing's suit neck. Lin Changli's face was as black as coal.

“It’s really gone…” Kong Sang’s face was blank. How could that be? She knew how difficult that thing was to get rid of. Who helped Nie Jingxing take it out?

And... when exactly did this thing disappear? Her mind was a complete mess.

Pulling Kong Sang's hand away and holding it tightly, Nie Jingxing sighed, "A Sang, I know you don't want to be suppressed by the Nie family. I've been making preparations, hoping that one day I can give you enough space."

"But before I could even speak, you flew away on your own... I thought we would break free of our constraints and travel very, very far, but this time you were one step ahead. Please come back?"

"No, what Kong Sang wants is a space without the Nie family and without you. She won't go back, and even if she wants to go back... I won't allow it." Lin Changli pulled their hands apart and hugged Kong Sang's waist, taking her place.

Deep down, he was far less calm than he appeared. He knew very well that if Nie Jingxing hadn't frequently had his fits of illness and hurt Sangsang, he might not have been able to get involved in their relationship at all.
