Chapter 239 Li Ruochu is pregnant
In desperation, Feng Yizhou and Li Ruchu looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
It seemed that they could only temporarily find a way to enlarge the cave entrance, so that Li Ruochu could run out and seek help as soon as possible. After all, Li Ruochu was relatively small, so he had the greatest chance of getting out successfully.
After Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou came out of the basement, they told the people who were anxiously waiting outside everything about the situation in the basement.
After hearing this, everyone had complex expressions on their faces, some hope, some worry.
But who would have thought that after hearing the news, Lerna's eyes lit up instantly. She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and regardless of everyone's surprised looks, she immediately ran towards the basement.
Lerna rushed into the basement, came to the hole, squatted down and carefully looked at the size of the hole.
Looking at the narrow entrance of the cave, a trace of frustration appeared on her originally excited face, and she muttered softly: "It's so small, how can I get out..." But soon, she seemed to think of something, and the spark of hope ignited in her eyes again.
Lerna hurried back to the crowd and looked at her son Long Mochen eagerly, with excitement flashing on her face, as if she could already imagine the scene after she went out.
She pulled Long Mocheng's arm and said anxiously, "Can you think of a way to enlarge the hole so that I can get out?"
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her hands tightly grasped Long Mocheng's arms, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
Just by hearing this one sentence from his mother, Long Mochen had guessed what was in her mind.
His eyes instantly turned cold, with a hint of mockery on his face. He then took a step forward and pulled his mother over with all his strength, his voice filled with anger and disappointment: "You want to run away, take over the power, and then let the military blow us to death, right?"
Long Mocheng stared at Lena, as if he wanted to see through the ugliness in her heart.
Although Long Mocheng had long known that his mother was selfish and often lost her mind in the face of power, he had never imagined that she could be so selfish.
In such a critical moment, the first thing that comes to mind is not to escape from the predicament together, but to escape alone, even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of others.
An obvious trace of evasion instantly appeared on Lerna's face, and her eyes subconsciously shifted to the side, not daring to look Long Mochen in the eye.
Yes. Her thoughts were guessed, and her expression became extremely unnatural. The muscles on her face twitched slightly, as if she was trying to hide her inner panic and embarrassment.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end she said nothing and just lowered her head silently.
Long Tingxiao looked at his wife, his eyes full of shock and disappointment.
Although he had always known that Lerna was indeed somewhat selfish and always considered her own interests first in many things, he had never expected that at such a life-and-death moment, she would have such a cold-blooded idea.
He frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and helplessness, and said coldly: "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise no one can help you if something happens."
At this moment, even the love between husband and wife for many years has become so fragile in the face of this sudden crisis and selfishness, and trust has disappeared.
A gloom quickly passed across Lena's face, a look of anger and shame at being exposed.
She bit her lips so hard that her teeth almost dug into her flesh. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
But in the end, she said nothing. She just raised her head slightly, glanced at Long Mocheng with an almost resentful look, and then turned her head away and no longer looked at anyone.
As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened and a depressing and dull atmosphere filled the castle.
Long Moyang walked down slowly from upstairs. His steps were neither fast nor slow, and every step echoed in the silent hall.
When he saw that the faces of several people here were extremely ugly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
He knew these people too well. They were all profit-driven. In such a desperate situation, how could they sincerely help each other?
Long Moyang walked leisurely in front of the group, with a cynical smile on his face, and said slowly, "Mom and Dad, I know you must hate me very much now, and you want to kill me right now."
He paused for a moment, and scanned everyone's faces one by one, his eyes full of provocation, "But after all, the agency is controlled by me alone. So, if you are willing to kneel on the ground and beg me, I can consider letting one of you go."
There was a hint of teasing in his voice, as if he was enjoying a funny farce.
"Impossible, Long Moyang!" Long Mocheng glared at Long Moyang angrily, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "We were so blind all these years that we actually treated you as our own son. We didn't expect you to be such a shameless man."
His chest was heaving violently, his hands were clenched into fists, and he wished he could rush up and punch Long Moyang right away.
"Bullshit!" Long Moyang suddenly raised his voice, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a ferocious look, "What a bullshit biological son, in your hearts, interests are more important than anything else." He took a step forward, pointed at Long Tingxiao and Laerna, and said emotionally, "The reason why you are so good to me is just because I can fulfill the wishes in your hearts. If I didn't control the power in my hands, would I still be alive now?"
His eyes were full of resentment, and the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in his heart for many years finally burst out at this moment.
Long Moyang had long seen through the selfish nature of the couple.
In his opinion, instead of letting them continue to control everything and use themselves as tools to achieve their own interests, it is better to keep his destiny firmly in his own hands.
Although things have developed beyond his expectations and unexpected events have occurred, Long Moyang does not regret it.
After all, over the years, he has enjoyed a lot of wealth and glory that others can hardly achieve, and has experienced the pleasure brought by power.
He felt that he had lived a fulfilling life, and even if he died in the end, he would have nothing to regret.
Li Ruochu watched their conversation and finally understood what it meant to be caught in one's own trap.
If you do too many bad things, your good days will come to an end. Now that he has ended up like this, I'm afraid there is no escape this time.
"Ugh..." Li Ruochu felt nauseous and a feeling of nausea came over him again.
Feng Yizhou looked worried: "Chu Chu, what's wrong with you?"
"Feng Yizhou, I'm pregnant!" Li Ruochu originally wanted to tell him after things were over.
But if I don’t say it now, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to say it again.
