Kong Sang vaguely heard Xu Lin's voice and then opened her eyes.

Wow, she slept straight through until dark. When did her sleep quality become so good?

Lin Changli touched the little face, which was flushed from sleep: "Are you awake?"

Kong Sang glanced at the other person, then suddenly nudged the thigh he had just rested on, successfully seeing the other person's contorted expression.

"What are you doing? The dignified head of the Lin family, making a fool of yourself by messing with me? Are you really Lin Changli?"

How could it not go numb if you stay still for so long?

"Ha, you're so stupid, aren't you even a little bit touched?"

Kong Sang shook his head: "No, I just think you can't get anything done if you can't handle women. I was born into the Nie family, and being flattered is normal for me. Your efforts mean nothing to me."

A touch of azure gradually spread across her pale eyes. The warm light in the room shone through her eyelashes, casting faint shadows beneath her eyes. Her crimson lips were slightly pursed, her face radiating a sense of brokenness.

His voice was no longer as alluring and magnetic as it usually was; instead, it was so light it was as if he hadn't uttered a sound: "To you... I mean nothing?"

The affirmative answer was on the tip of her tongue, but it seemed to be blocked. She had originally wanted to maintain this ambiguous relationship, which was very convenient to use.

But this person... always manages to make her heart flutter occasionally, revealing the bloody mess inside.

She can't let something she's long buried see the light of day again because of someone; that would make her fearful and in pain, unable to face the future.

We should say it harshly, we should be sternly belittle him, so that his pride will prevent him from getting any closer.

But now, facing that face that seemed on the verge of collapse, she couldn't utter a word...

Her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white, her eyes began to redden, and she stared intently at the man in front of her, trying to speak. Lin Changli sighed, ultimately unable to bear to press him any further.

He pried Kong Sang's hands off and pulled her into his arms: "You're clearly hurting me, so why are you crying?"

The three bystanders: "..."

Xu Lin was filled with admiration. As expected of the terrifying man who single-handedly wiped out an entire family, this was the first time he had ever seen the young lady speechless in all the time he had known her.

"Holy crap, so that's what Kong Sang eats. I've learned something new," Si Yu analyzed, his expression not looking too good.

Yu Wei was somewhat worried. Lin Changli was a complex man, definitely not a fragile person. What he had just done was merely a tactic to conquer Kongsang.

If things continue like this... can Kongsang really hold on to it? Will they be happy if they are together?

Even though she had known him for a long time, she still couldn't see through Lin Changli. Xiu Qi once said something that left a deep impression on her.

No one in the world can imprison Lin Changli. If there is one, it must be someone who has encountered a treasure and imprisoned himself with it.

So, whether she had encountered this treasure or not, Yu Wei wasn't sure...

After calming herself down, Kong Sang ignored her slight discomfort, pushed Lin Changli away to change the subject, and looked at Xu Lin, asking, "How is it?"

Xu Lin shrugged and said, "I don't see any changes..."

Kong Sang squinted, said nothing, and pulled out a dagger from somewhere, suddenly stabbing at him.

Xu Lin's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

My instinct is to defend and counterattack; something feels different about my skin...

The dagger was firmly pressed against the skin of his instinctively raised arm, unable to advance an inch...

A glint flashed in Kong Sang Tao Hua's eyes, and she suddenly laughed out loud. Without any hesitation, she poked Xu Lin a few more times, but did not hurt him.

While Xu Lin looked on in bewilderment, he turned around and went to the hall to get a photo frame. Pointing to the smiling man in the white coat in the picture, he asked, "Is this your dad?"

Xu Lin looked away, disgusted, and nodded.

"I'm asking you, does your father have any brothers?"

Xu Lin was taken aback: "No, he's an only child. Why are you asking this, Miss?"

Kong Sang looked at the man in the photo frame with a playful expression: "I'm not doing anything. You'll find out later. Your mutated genes are mainly for defense. From now on, you really will become my shield. Not bad."

Xu Lin was quite pleased to hear this. He preferred defense to attacking others, and being able to protect himself without harming others suited his taste perfectly.

As he watched the people immersed in joy, Kong Sang's amusement grew stronger.

Only those with extremely similar genes have a chance of mutating into the same ability. Zhang San's disguise is excellent. How will the price of killing her be paid?

Looking at Kong Sang's expression, Lin Changli glanced at the man in the photo frame and raised an eyebrow. Was Sang Sang up to no good?

Kong Sang wanted to stay at Xu Lin's house, and the others didn't plan to leave either. In the end, the two rooms were divided between two men and two women, and he, the host,... slept on the sofa looking aggrieved.

He bit the corner of the blanket and swore that when he had his own little brothers, he would take over the bed and make them sleep on the floor...

With Kong Sang's financial resources, buying Dingxi wouldn't require any consideration; all he had to do was go through the formalities.

The land where the old hospital was located has always been abandoned. Although the building was constructed by Xu Lin's father, it is now dilapidated and unusable.

The land belongs to the public; if Kongsang wants it, it will have to go through the Jiangcheng government.

With Lin Changli and Si Yu present, there was no need for Kong Sang to get involved in this matter.

With the money in place, everything was done effortlessly, and the group went directly to the old hospital site.

This area used to be very lively, but I don't know how it gradually became so deserted. The residential buildings near the hospital are mostly empty, making the area look gloomy.

The place was overgrown with weeds, clearly indicating that it hadn't been tended to for many years.

The pure white building was covered with dark green moss, and weeds grew out of the cracks in the floor tiles. Instead of a sense of robust life, it felt distorted.

Kong Sang remained unfazed. As soon as he stepped out of the car, the system's warning red light flashed wildly.

Ah, it seems Lucci Williams' counterattack has begun...

Sensing a warning red dot appearing between his eyebrows, Kong Sang immediately squatted down and said, "Everyone, stay away from me."

Silenced bullets struck the ground behind Kongsang, followed by a barrage of bullets. It was truly audacious of them all.

Before joining Kongsang, Xu Lin was just an ordinary college student. For some reason, he tried submitting his resume to the Nie family and was lucky enough to be hired.

Having never experienced such a hail of bullets before, I was stunned and stood frozen in place.

Zhang San, who had secretly defected to the enemy, was furious. He thought, "How did a college student who's good for nothing end up in the Nie family after graduation? It's like going straight from elementary school to the central government. It's outrageous!"

Is their family's ill-fated relationship with the Nie family never going to end?

Yu Wei and her group remained calm and quickly found cover, leaving only two idiots standing there like sitting ducks.

Xu Lin was truly terrified, while Kong Sang used Xu Lin as a shield, sticking close behind him.

This behavior made Zhang San's expression turn cold; he really was a wolf cub raised by Nie Qu...

With a gesture of gesturing, the gunfire ceased, and Zhang San appeared with a group of blond-haired foreigners, surrounding Kong Sang and the others.

Kong Sang chuckled: "Oh, isn't this Zhang San? You dared to betray me and join the enemy, and even became a leader. Not bad at all."

Yu Wei blinked, what did that mean? A traitor?
