Chapter 65 I won't run away anymore, please.
Xie Li believed that Xie Cheng knew what he was doing and didn't need him to say anything more. As long as he could interfere and use some means to make Shen Jin completely stay away from Yan Yu's side from now on, so that the other person would belong to him completely.
As for other things, a life for a life... Even though Xie Li truly loathed Shen Jin to the extreme, and even had some terrifying thoughts when he was angry, there were still some things he understood.
"This guy?" Xie Cheng was still somewhat skeptical, scoffing with disdain as he tapped the screen a few times. "He is quite good-looking, but unfortunately, there's no shortage of good-looking people in this world."
Xie Li gave a sad smile, looking utterly heartbroken. He didn't deny what his brother said, because he knew that no matter how good-looking someone was, they would probably all look the same in front of his brother.
After all, the person he considered "the most beautiful" had already died completely in front of him.
Thinking of this, Xie Li couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where is Qing Yan?"
Xie Cheng clicked his tongue in displeasure, lit a cigarette, and said in a harsh voice with undisguised disgust, "I don't know, he won't die. As long as that bastard has a breath left, he can keep living. With his worthless life, he won't die no matter what he does."
Xie Li smiled awkwardly at these rude words, unsure how to respond. He could only lower his head and rub his toes, his thoughts wandering to distant memories.
Xie Cheng comforted Xie Li and instructed his brothers to treat him well so that he wouldn't be secretly saddened by Yan Yu's situation. He then left temporarily.
Xie Cheng went to the basement, where a person was locked up, but there were no chains. He was left to run around madly and howl in the basement, and no one paid any attention to him. He could only crawl on the ground in pain, whimpering.
The drug Xie Cheng had given him had been in effect for three hours, and it was still tormenting his body and mind, bringing him to the brink of collapse and leaving him in a very sorry state.
Xie Cheng was extremely satisfied with the man's disheveled appearance. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he clapped his hands gently and said in a warm voice, "Not bad, not bad. It seems the effect is quite good. Now that's what a dog looks like."
The man curled up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared hoarsely, "...Xie...Cheng!"
Xie Cheng opened the iron gate and walked in. Looking at the man who was suffering terribly from the effects of the drug, he smiled coldly, kicked the man, and said with disgust, "Damn, you're so slutty, so disgusting."
"You...you don't have to treat me like this!" The man choked out a sob, feeling like he was being driven mad by the drug, his body was almost numb, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger.
Xie Cheng coldly glanced at the disheveled man, his gaze seemingly tangible, able to pierce through him. He then pulled up a chair and sat down beside him, crossing his legs. Looking at the man on the ground, he sneered, "So pathetic. You won't know any better without a lesson. Will you dare to run away next time?"
The man on the ground trembled, his face flushed. Knowing that a hard approach wouldn't work, he could only lower his head and sob, "No, I won't run away anymore, please..."
Such torment can easily drive a person to the brink of collapse.
Xie Cheng sneered, looking at him with disdain. Then he reached out and grabbed the man's hair, pulling his head up in front of him and patting his face. "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? You're just a dog. You have no human rights. Do you understand?"
A flash of malice crossed the man's bloodshot eyes, but it vanished in an instant. Not daring to disobey, he could only grit his teeth, suppressing his tears, and shamefully close his eyes, managing to squeeze out a few words through clenched teeth: "I...know..."
The man thought, "Xie Cheng, Xie Cheng, if you don't kill me now, one day I will definitely kill you. I'll take a knife and cut your body open, break your bones, shred your internal organs, and then feed them to the stray dogs on the roadside..."
Xie Cheng seemed unaware of what the other was thinking, and simply smiled with satisfaction, his firm tone leaving no room for argument: "You're just a dog I keep. A dog can't disobey its master, understand?"
“I know…” the man said humbly, bowing his head.
"You're disgusting." Xie Cheng smiled and stroked his head like he was petting a dog, as if he were doing him a favor. "I have something for you to do. If you do it well, you'll be rewarded."
The man lowered his eyes: "Thank you... young master..."
Xie Cheng smiled, then suddenly raised the man's cold yet disheveled face, his eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in them, and said unhurriedly, "Qing Yan, don't try any tricks, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
The man's eyes were red-rimmed, and he lowered his head humbly: "I...know..."
"That's more like it." His humble and pathetic appearance greatly pleased Xie Cheng, who smiled with satisfaction and then picked up the man's rather thin body.
Xie Cheng squinted and smiled, hugging the man's slender waist, and slapped him with his calloused hand, saying sarcastically, "You're really quite the flirt."
The basement was a complete mess.
Ever since Shen Jin was taken away by Yan Yu using forceful means, Bai Yu Jin has had a headache. He tried to confront Yan Yu many times, but the other party was an unreasonable and self-centered person, so there was no point in arguing.
Furthermore, he completely regarded the ashes as his own private property.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shen Jin lived a peaceful life for a month before it was over.
Xie Li, on the other hand, felt like he was going crazy. He had finally waited for Yan Yu to go on a business trip, which would allow him to do whatever he wanted for a while.
Early in the morning, he dragged Shen Jin out of bed and treated him like a servant, ordering him around, making him work and run errands, as if this would make him happy.
"I don't think I did this..." Shen Jin pinched his nose, wondering why he had to take care of the trash himself. "Aren't there other cleaning ladies around?"
“The other aunties are all busy lately, so it’s your turn to do it.” Xie Li looked at him with a smile, and after making sure no one was around, she nudged him a few times with her foot. “You’ve been eating, drinking, and doing all sorts of things in our house for so long, you should at least do something, right?”
"Oh..." Shen Jin responded. He didn't understand these things either, so he could only listen to him. After cleaning up the trash, he took it out to dispose of it himself and then started doing housework at home. He did all sorts of messy things.
Shen Jin hadn't eaten much from morning until noon, and was working up a sweat. Finally, rubbing his stomach, he looked at Xie Li with a pitiful expression: "Ah Li, I've done so much work today, can I eat now? I'm so hungry..."
Xie Li had already given the other servants the day off. He was now leisurely sitting with his legs crossed, elegantly taking a sip of tea, and glancing at him indifferently: "You're hungry so soon? The dog I fed this morning isn't as hungry as you are."
"I'm a human being..." Shen Jin said, sounding aggrieved, his eyes welling up with tears. He was starving. "Besides, I haven't eaten since this morning. I'm hungry..."
Xie Li smiled slowly and deliberately, "It's alright, just bear with it a little longer."
Shen Jin felt extremely wronged and bit her lower lip: "But..."
"Are you ever going to stop?" Xie Li was getting impatient. She glared at him fiercely, then grabbed the dog food on the table and poured it onto a side plate. "Eat up, eat up, you're such a glutton! You can't do much, all you do is eat, you good-for-nothing!"
"No, I didn't..." Shen Jin couldn't understand why Ah Li, who was usually good-tempered, had become like this after Yan Yu left home. However, he didn't dare to disobey him and could only obediently listen to him.
In the evening, Shen Jin finally managed to eat a little food, but Xie Li ordered him to make him coffee. However, he had never done it before and didn't know how, so he could only boil water and bring it to Xie Li.
Xie Li immediately slammed the water glass onto the ground in anger, yelling, "I said coffee! Coffee! Coffee!"
Shen Jin was stunned by the shout and didn't dare to say a word. He could only blink innocently at him, looking a little lost and helpless.
However, Xie Li hated this look of his the most. In addition, Yan Yu was not around, and all the other servants had been given leave. So she simply couldn't bear it anymore. The anger that had been building up for more than half a month finally gathered into a slap, which landed hard on Shen Jin's face.
Shen Jin's head was a mess from being slapped, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him with a wronged expression: "I...I...why did you hit me? I..."
He didn't know what he had done to offend him.
Xie Li yelled at him, "Shut up! I've had enough!"
He just couldn't understand it. His brother had clearly promised to help him and stand up for him, so why was Shen Jin still able to stay by Yan Yu's side?
His brother wouldn't lie to him, so his brother must have assigned this task to some other useless person. Damn it! Why is everything going wrong!
"Get out! You're such bad luck! Just seeing you annoys me!"
After slapping Shen Jin, Xie Li stormed upstairs, leaving Shen Jin alone downstairs, silently wiping away tears, unable to understand why he had to endure all this.
He just wanted a simple life, as long as he was happy...
“Oh right, escape…” Shen Jin touched his slapped cheek, a thought suddenly forming in his mind, and he mumbled, “I can escape…”
When Yan Yu first brought him back, he found it difficult to leave because there would be someone following him wherever he went. But gradually, Yan Yu relaxed when he saw that he seemed to have no intention of escaping.
For example, there's nobody here now.
He thought that Ali didn't like him, and Ayu would throw tantrums. He was always being bullied here, and he had no freedom. He wasn't happy either. So why didn't he leave?
So, that night, Shen Jin went back to his room to get a bag, packed his clothes, and then, under the cover of darkness, sneaked out of the villa and disappeared without a trace...
