Li Ke could sense the sincere yet restrained emotions in Mo Bao'er, but she really didn't need them anymore, so she couldn't give the same response.
“I have my own things to do, and I like being alone and I’m used to being alone,” Li Ke replied softly.
Chen Zhizhi, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly ran over and grabbed Li Ke's arm, saying, "No matter what you have to do, please let Dr. Cheng go, okay? I beg you, Rui'er is all I have left, and she has to call you 'Auntie' too. Please have pity on her!"
Seeing this, Chen Jiaojiao also came over and grabbed Li Ke's other arm, saying, "I am also your own sister. No matter what, Mom gave birth to you and raised you. You have to send us back and make arrangements first, Li Ke. Mom and I only ask this one thing of you."
Cage, who was outside the door, had been observing everything happening in the conference room through the glass window in the door. After seeing the two women's actions, he immediately pressed the guide hidden in his sleeve. When he saw the green light turn on, he was somewhat surprised that success came so easily.
Li Ke, already impatient, pushed the two away: "Your life and death and everything else are none of my business. I came here only because of Bao'er. If you bother me again, I don't mind helping you choose a collective sea burial."
Chen Zhizhi touched her wrist, which was still throbbing from the shock, and quietly stepped back to He Ru's side without saying another word.
A flash of hatred crossed Chen Jiaojiao's eyes. After moving away from Li Ke, she stood behind Li Zhenzhen and condemned, "Who does she think she is? How many days have you known her? The person standing in front of me is your own mother who raised you. Do you have any conscience at all?"
Li Ke finally met Li Zhenzhen's gaze, staring indifferently at her and asking, "Is that so? The debt of raising you?"
Li Zhenzhen avoided eye contact, lowered her head and remained silent. He Ru, standing beside her, began to curse, "What kind of mother is she? She's a piece of trash. If we're talking about gratitude for raising children, it should be my parents-in-law, not her. What does she have to do with it? Thief, prostitute, unfilial to her parents, abandoned her own child—what kind of filthy things hasn't she done? A shameless wretch, yet she dares to talk about conscience with others!"
Li Zhenzhen looked up at He Ru: "Enough, my silence doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. I just took what I was entitled to. You're not much better!"
Watching them argue, Li Ke sat casually next to Mo Bao'er and asked, "Did those people do anything else to you? Did you feel anything uncomfortable or suspicious?"
Mo Bao'er thought for a moment and said, "I lost consciousness for a period of time when they were extracting my eggs. If they did anything to our bodies, it could only have been for that period of time."
Then it was just normal food and drinks; I didn't feel anything unusual. Before we left today, they kindly gave each of us individual suitable clothes and even apologized. Humph! Hypocritical.
Li Ke listened to the sound of the waves that kept echoing in her ears. Had the wind and waves outside gotten bigger? She rubbed her head and frowned, looking somewhat tired.
Seeing this from outside the door, Cage felt that Li Ke had likely been tricked, so to be on the safe side, he started manipulating the guide device again.
