Lu Bojing grabbed Qingqing and buried his face in her belly. "I am sorry! I am sorry!"

*Meowww!*

How dare you grab me like that, human? Do you break my body?

Lihua imagined punching Mingshen's face many, many times until it satisfied her.

He dares think of transplanting sis's heart into someone else and killing her again!? You inhumane, evil doctor!!!

In his office, Mingshen sneezed a number of times. He rubbed his nose and frowned. Then he suddenly beamed in delight.

"I have heard that people sneeze when somebody is remembering them. Is Spicy thinking of me?" He sheepishly grinned. "Is she missing me already?"

Mingshen took a test tube filled with a sample of blood and sighed as he stared at it. A guard in front of his office door couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Why is Boss staring at a test tube with such a longing expression?

Mingshen suddenly cast his sharp gaze at the guard and demanded. "What?"

"Nothing, Boss!"

"Spit it out, or the next ward is empty for your body to go there."

He paled. "T-that test tube.."

Mingshen raised his brow. "This one?" He smiled. "This has my Spicy's blood in it. Since she is not here, I can only stare at her beautiful blood and think that she is here."

That guard had an urge to take out his gun, shoot himself in the head and take his body in the next ward himself.

This world...is really ending.

He burst into tears. "I haven't even lost my virginity yet..How could a demon like Boss find a woman but not me?" He cried to himself.

"Get out! Let me miss my Spicy in peace."

The guard gladly ran away. It was better banging his head on the wall somewhere rather than seeing a lovestruck Yang Mingshen.

On Lihua's side, she grabbed Lu Bojing's hand and anxiously asked, "When is that demon planning to do the operation? We need to stop him before it's too late."

"A-actually the operation could have been done a long time ago, but for some reason or another, Boss kept postponing it saying that Song Jia wasn't ready. But her reports say otherwise. B-But.." tears pooled in his eyes, "Boss always scolded me whenever I asked about it. I-I was just doing my job, but he still.."

Lihua pursed her lips. "D-Don't cry."

He nodded.

"Whatever the reason, but it means that sis is still safe! But what if he finally does it while we are stuck here!?"

Lu Bojing thought about it and shook his head. "I don't think so...Ever since Song Jia has woken up, I have n-noticed that Boss has changed bit by bit. He behaves differently with her. S-sometimes I feel that he himself doesn't want the surgery to happen anymore. But that cannot be true because he does want to save that woman...Boss sometimes really... confuses me."

Lihua harrumphed. "What else can you expect? Does his brain ever function normally? He has only weird and evil things going on in his head! I want to thank him for saving sis's life, but in the end, it was still for his selfishness that he saved her."

Lu Bojing hugged Qingqing a little harder and meekly asked, "A-are you angry at me?"

Lihua looked at him. She thought about it and shook her head. "I am not. I am glad you came out with the truth. Though, I am still angry at how you and Mingshen treated my sister like a research subject."

His face was filled with hurt and tears.

"But I don't blame you. Only you. In the end, you are still his assistant, and he is your benefactor you respect so much. It is natural if you follow his orders. And even so, you went against him today and confessed everything to me. I appreciate it. That's why I won't be angry at you."

The color on his face slowly returned and so did the light in his eyes. "R-really? You really won't hate me?"

"I will never hate you. But! You have to promise me that once we get out of this place, you will help me in getting my sister back from him. For that, you will need to oppose him. I will need your help."

He nodded hard. "I will help you! B-Boss will be furious at me for sure...B-But I will take it somehow. I-I won't hesitate."

historical

Qingqing hissed.

You should hesitate in not squeezing me so hard right now! Do you want to kill me!?

"I will meet sis soon.."

She felt as if she was dreaming. Until yesterday, she was mourning her death, but amidst all these problems, there was finally good news that brought back the sunshine in her life.

---

Jiang villa.

"Ruiling! Ruiling!"

Jiang Ninghong had searched for the whole villa, but her daughter wasn't there. It was chaotic all over. Jiang Li was shot in the thigh, but Jiang Zhen's orders were not to let him admit in the hospital. The bullet was still inside his thigh, and his wound was festering.

Jiang Lanying was crying her eyes out. "Li! Please hold on. I-I will do something to help you.."

Jiang Li, who was gasping in pain, shrugged her concern away. "Stop thinking about me... Find Ruiling. Where is she..? Where did she.." he breathed hard, "disappear to?"

Old Madam and Jiang Yubi were also extremely worried for her. "Weiyuan and Weizhe are looking for her. You look after yourself first. Don't talk or it will hurt more."

Jiang Xiurang quickly brought a bowl of warm water and Jiang Fai came with the medicine box. "We can at least sterilize the outer wound.."

"But the bullet...How will we remove the bullet? Li needs surgery!" Jiang Lanying cried.

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and a white coat fluttered in the air as a man walked with quick and heavy steps.

Mingshen lazily took a look at Jiang Li and sneered. "Such a teensy tiny wound and you are already fainting?"

They stared at him in shock.. And then pure happiness shone in their eyes. "Mingshen!"
