Eat some food
The screen remained black for a long time before another screen lit up.
It's also surveillance.
Shi Nao, who had been leaning back in her chair, looked up, glanced at the screen, and immediately sat up straight, zooming in on the footage: "There's someone approaching."
Tong Tangming put down his phone, walked to Shi Nao's table, rested his hands on the table, and looked at the black figure moving quickly in the surveillance footage. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's Black Spade King. The police have also tracked us down here. We can't expose him!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Nao lowered her voice, worried about disturbing Yu Zou who was standing nearby. "To cover for him, you're willing to put Yu Zou in danger?"
“It’s not as serious as you make it out to be. Hand Yu Zou over to Spade.” Seeing Shi Nao’s silent opposition, Tong Tangming continued, “Do you think you and I can stop him? It’ll just mean two more people will be seriously injured before Yu Zou is taken away.”
"There are cars outside, we can escape."
Can you run away forever?
Yu Zou cleared the online tracking traces, slowly stood up by supporting himself on the table, and interrupted the two arguing: "I'll go with him. If the police come after me, just say that I sent you to pick me up."
"Yu Zou?" Shi Nao watched as Yu Zou stretched out his hand in front of him, his wrist aligned with Yu Zou's, surrendering without a second thought, unable to lift his head.
"Hurry up," Yu Zou urged, "otherwise Secretary Tong will also be in danger."
Tong Tangming stepped past Shi Nao, took out a sealed bag from the inside pocket of his clothes, and quickly tied it up with a rope inside.
"How much longer until he arrives?" Yu Zou asked.
Shi Nao looked at the computer and did a quick calculation based on the movement speed: "In less than ten minutes."
Tong Tangming said, "Go down the stairs on the other side to the car. Shi Nao, you stay here."
The two then exited through another door.
Yu Zou asked, "How much can you say about the King of Spades?"
"He's been in the sanatorium for a long time, number A11101. He's the strongest, whether in terms of physical strength or pheromones. Don't even think about going head-to-head with him. I've never seen anyone worth him using his pheromones to deal with."
"Do you two have a good relationship?"
"generally."
"You've never been to a sanatorium, so why are you listening to them?" After all, Shi Nao received numbers starting with O, while Tong Tangming was an Alpha.
"My mother is in a nursing home."
"She's still alive?"
"He died long ago. Before he died, he told Du Pianjian everything about me." That's why he was constantly threatened by Du Pianjian and had no choice but to leave.
What is the code name for Du Pianjian?
"He doesn't have a code name."
Who is the King of Hearts?
“Any one.” Tong Tangming pushed open the fire door, where only the eerie green emergency light was on. “Anyone prepared to sacrifice for the lives and freedom of more people is the King of Hearts. They use death to instill in people the fear of becoming food for the powerful. If they want to protect their own lives, they must raise their arms for ours.”
"Is Lili also one?"
Tong Tangming opened the car door, his gaze lifeless: "That was an accident."
Yu Zou stopped, looked at Tong Tangming, and waited for what was to come.
“Her condition is the worst. She couldn’t withstand the intimidation from the nursing home any longer and is incapable of carrying out any orders.” Tong Tangming looked down at the ground. “She also leaked information about other patients.”
Therefore, Lili chose to end her life amidst pain and guilt. Her life, torn apart by the force, was already as thin as a cicada's wing and could no longer withstand any pressure.
Yu Zou got into the car, leaned back in the back seat, closed his eyes, and counted in his head.
The door closed, then opened again.
I walked around, stopped, and then opened it again.
In the chilly wind, Yu Zou was helped out of the car and carried on his back. A sweet, cloying voice sounded from the other side: "Leave him with me? Really? Can he trust me?"
"Don't do anything reckless."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist~"
Yu Zou felt a finger brush against his left cheek and was immediately pulled back. The voice rang out again: "So what if I touched you? Will he know? You're only on his side."
After hesitating for a long time, the man finally said, "I won't stop him from contacting you."
"Hmph. Let me make this clear first, I'm not afraid of him."
The leather shoes tapped rhythmically on the ground, but the person carrying him walked very lightly. Sensing the changing light and shadows through his eyelids, Yu Zou guessed they were heading into a house. The interplay of warmth and cold made him want to relax his muscles, but he couldn't help feeling tense.
"Give it to me. I've prepared a fine coffin."
coffin?
"He's heavy, I'll put him down."
Upon hearing those words, Yu Zou froze. As his body was turned upside down, the strong smell of wood mixed with paint enveloped him, and fear made each breath he took less than the last.
The rustling sounds were like insects crawling on the body. After a muffled thud, a voice came from above: "I can't live a single day without sex. How did you, boss, manage to endure it for three years?"
"Stay away from him."
"Can't I even take a look?"
"He is disabled (A).
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
The sleeve covered Yu Zou's face, cold fingers reached into the back of his head, and the teasing voice was right in front of him.
"Then he can't even stand my pheromones? No wonder he faked his death. Staying by the boss's side must be very painful every day. Ah, not necessarily, after all, he's not like me, unable to control his pheromones."
Yu Zou suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could even see the person's face clearly, he had already grabbed the person's arm with incredible precision. Before the person could even be shocked, he was pulled down into the coffin by this irresistible force.
He instinctively braced his other hand against the edge of the coffin, trying to steady himself. The King of Spades behind him also noticed something was wrong and took a step forward. His command came from the coffin at the same time.
"Don't move!"
The action of fingers gripping the back of the neck made Black Spade K stop immediately, watching helplessly as the man was slowly forced to stand up by the combined force. Yu Zou slowly rose, his clear eyes looking at the man in black before him. The screen on his bracelet unfolded, displaying coordinate information in the dispatch box. He said, "Release He Honghan and the others, or I'll expose your identities and locations to the police!"
"No." The King of Spades' voice was calm and unquestionable. It was the man being held hostage by Yu Zou who pleaded softly, "Save me, Spades."
I wasn't particularly afraid; on the contrary, I was incredibly excited.
Yu Zou composed himself and looked at the tall man in front of him, whose face was well covered. Given the exact name, it would be easy to identify him: "Xu Bo, I can guarantee they won't utter a single word."
"Oops, we've been exposed."
Yu Zou looked down and saw the red line in the collar around the kidnapped man's neck pulsating like a vein. His black hair was disheveled, and he showed no intention of struggling, letting Yu Zou drag him along.
He added, "I'm all alone here. If I'm exposed, I'll only die. After all, I can't withstand torture. Before I've even been tortured, I've already confessed everything."
Xu Bo looked up, revealing his only unobstructed pair of very pale eyes, and still tried to negotiate: "They are all fine."
“How can being locked up be good?” Yu Zou retorted, handing forward a bracelet that flashed with coordinates. “I will also expose Du Pianjian.”
Xu Bo clenched his jaw and nodded slightly.
"Have them call me back. I need to make sure they're alright," Yu Zou added. Only when the sound of the car disappeared and everything fell completely silent did he relax slightly. Looking around, he realized it was a funeral home.
"The rope is over there."
The hostage took the initiative to save the hostage-taker time in the search. Yu Zou looked down at the man in disbelief, and the man looked up at Yu Zou slightly, gesturing with his mouth towards the cabinet opposite.
Yu Zou slowly picked up the rope that had been used to bind himself from the coffin and tied his hands together. He then pulled him to the cabinet and opened it, confirming his suspicions. After tying the man to a nearby pillar, he finally had the mind to look at his appearance. The man was about 1.7 meters tall, around twenty years old, with a fair complexion and ruddy cheeks, and misty eyes that always seemed to be veiled in water. Only his outer black cloak was properly worn; his inner clothes were loose, with only a few buttons undone.
Yu Zou straightened his outer clothes and sat opposite him, waiting.
“I’m interested in you too. My name is Bao Xingxing, Xing as in lucky.” Seeing that Yu Zou remained unmoved, she rolled her eyes and thought of another topic, “What will you say when your new lover calls later?”
Yu Zou's expression softened: "Xiao Jiao?"
"Is his name Xiaojiao? Whatever, I can't remember anyway. The boss interrogated him personally, telling him to 'take the money and get out,' and he really had backbone, saying: 'I won't leave. Do you think I'm stupid? Giving up my long-term meal ticket for this little bit of money? I won't break up with him, you only came to me because you couldn't do anything about him, I'm waiting for him to come and save me.'" Bao Xingxing imitated the two of them talking, and then giggled.
Yu Zou was already on edge, and after hearing this, he felt even more conflicted. Seeing Xu Bo return, he immediately became wary. But Xu Bo simply placed a package on the ground five meters away from him and said, "Eat something." Then he left immediately.
"Eat it, it's not poisonous." Seeing that Yu Zou didn't move, Bao Xingxing said again, "Otherwise, you can give it to me first."
He opened his mouth wide after saying that.
Yu Zou remained unmoved.
"Why don't you trust me? I would never hurt you."
Yu Zou looked at Bao Xingxing, who was leaning against the pillar, without any panic or anxiety. She didn't seem to be confident of being saved, nor did she seem to be indifferent to death in despair. He asked, "Are you also a patient at St. Herle Sanatorium?"
"yes."
"Were they also subjected to pheromone experiments?"
“Yes.” Bao Xingxing looked at Yu Zou and did not talk about the inhumane experiments she had been subjected to. Instead, she talked about how she began to face her desires after being left with the aftereffects of the experiments, and began to talk frankly about her love affair with Yu Zou, which developed entirely based on her momentary physiological needs after they met by chance.
Yu Zou tried several times to stop him, but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"So, my motto is, 'It's good to be alive, and it doesn't matter if you die.'" Bao Xingxing's habitually tender gaze perfectly explained his current calm attitude.
The phone placed between the two rang. Yu Zou picked it up and pressed the receiver. He Honghan's boisterous voice came from the other end: "Yu Zou! You're still alive! Holy crap! Du Pianjian said you didn't need to answer the phone anymore, and I really thought you were dead... How can these lunatics do anything? My annual leave, my perfect attendance bonus, my bonus, it's all your wife's fault, you have to compensate me! Aaaaaaah!"
He Honghan's wails continued to pour over from the other side, like a warm current flowing into Yu Zou's body, making him want to laugh uncontrollably. He said, "Old He, don't tell anyone about this. I'll tell you the details later."
He Honghan fell silent for a moment, the air seemed to freeze again, and a minute later his voice returned to calm: "I understand. Did Du Pianjian give you any trouble?"
Yes, very much so.
"So what's your relationship like now?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll stay by his side for now." Yu Zou spoke the truth. He dared not speculate on Du Pianjian's intentions any longer, nor was he sure if his behavior while in a state of confusion was entirely genuine. However, he saw Du Pianjian's pain, and he was somewhat distressed by his departure.
“Hmm… I’m just guessing, you can take it as a reference.” He Honghan hesitated, rarely like this. Yu Zou didn’t urge her until He Honghan made her decision. “People can only give love according to their own consciousness. What you think is not up to standard may already be the limit that the other person can give.”
Yu Zou immediately understood the individual cases He Honghan was referring to. Perhaps for Du Pianjian, not killing him was already an act of love. But for Yu Zou, it meant nothing at all. The exploitation, belittling, and harm were all real and could not be erased by the term "extreme."
If love has a passing grade, what's the point of getting a low score even if you take the test?
Yu Zou put down his phone, stood up and walked towards the lunchbox, saying, "I recommend a highly authoritative psychiatrist to you. Feel free to embellish everything you just said to him."
“I hate doctors.” Bao Xingxing frowned slightly, her expression unusually serious.
"Does it really matter if I die?" Yu Zou opened the lunchbox. There were three dishes, a soup, and rice. It was kept warm and steaming.
Bao Xingxing looked at the ceiling and said nonchalantly, "Really."
