Zhao Laoliu indeed did not and dared not do anything.
Before Su Ying let him go, he showed him a photograph, a picture of his daughter.
In this world, she was the person he cared about most.
In fact, Zhao Laoliu was casually placed in the outermost room.
He was panicking when he woke up in an unfamiliar place. He found the exit and kept trying to break down the door, and then he directly encountered Wen Bai.
He had no idea, nor did he discover, that many other people were in the same space as him.
He ran into the woods in a panic, fearing that the terrifying man would change his mind, chase after him, and catch him on the main road.
Fortunately, he had been to this area with a companion before and knew the routes around here.
Walking from here would save a lot of time, and by cutting straight through, a few hundred meters more would lead to the back door.
In his haste, he sprained his ankle.
He didn't know what the man had injected him with; he always felt weak and without strength.
He had no money on him, and no phone.
His own home was too far away, and he couldn't go back today. However, he remembered that his companion lived even closer.
He walked for nearly a few hours to reach his companion's place.
It was a rather dilapidated house, with hardly anyone around.
This area was scheduled for demolition, and only his companion stubbornly held onto this rundown place, refusing to move. The government's persuasion had no effect.
Even with an offer of three times the price, she was unwilling to leave.
The surrounding neighbors had gradually moved away, and the character for "demolish" was painted in large red paint on the walls of all the houses.
In the end, only this one family remained, the holdouts.
He saw the dim, yellow light turn on, indicating someone was home.
He limped over and knocked on the door: "Lao Wang, it's me, open the door."
There was no movement from inside at first.
He knocked harder. There was some movement inside, and after a moment, the door creaked open from the inside.
A man's face appeared before him, and then the person smiled, their face contorted at an inhuman angle…
Seeing such a face suddenly, Zhao Laoliu almost fainted from fright.
It was Lao Wang's son.
Zhao Laoliu didn't really like Lao Wang's imbecilic son. The main reason was that his smile was too creepy.
But he had nowhere to go now, and without money, he couldn't go home.
Even if he had money, he really didn't have the strength to drag his sprained foot out of this rundown place to find a car.
It wasn't the first time he had visited Lao Wang's house, but each time, Lao Wang had deliberately avoided her foolish son.
However, they had met twice.
He shoved the door open forcefully, pushing Lao Wang's imbecilic son aside, and swaggered in.
"I'm staying for the night, where is your mother?"
The imbecilic son: "Make... money, eat... give me…"
"Right, Lao Wang still has to earn money to support a useless idiot like you," Zhao Laoliu continued without stopping, walking directly into the inner room, and then collapsing onto the bed: "I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me if it's not important."
The imbecile hesitated for a moment, then cried out in alarm: "No... no... mine! Mine…"
Zhao Laoliu was annoyed by the noise.
It was his mother's idea that he had encountered this predicament.
He had met a tough opponent, who instead beat him up and locked him up for so many days. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Zhao Laoliu sat up and vented his frustration: "Damn it, shut up! You're so stupid, how has your mother put up with you for so long! Damn it, neither mother nor son is normal! Get out and don't disturb my sleep!"
The imbecile was startled by the shouting. Then he stopped smiling, revealing a face that looked like it was about to cry.
It looked even more grotesque.
The imbecile went outside and started digging under a tree.
Inside, snores were shaking the house.
After digging for a while, he unearthed a large woven bag. The imbecile mumbled to himself, moved the contents out, and then, carrying the bag, headed towards the inner room.
If listened closely, he was saying: "I'm not... Mom said... said... I'm not... not stupid... you are... you... all... are…"
To what extent did Wen Bai value Yu Yang?
Every day, he would visit Yu Yang at a fixed time and place to check if he was still sleeping soundly in the basement.
It was fortunate that he kept such a close watch. The person who should have been unconscious for a full 48 hours, indeed, this world favored him!
He showed signs of waking up in just over a day.
Wen Bai immediately imitated Su Ying's actions. He took out a syringe, loaded it under the guidance of System 001, found a vein, and administered an injection to Yu Yang.
However, for some reason, after this injection, unlike Su Ying who left only a tiny pinprick, the area where Yu Yang was injected actually bulged.
Wen Bai calmly observed Yu Yang and saw that the slightly furrowed brows slowly smoothed out.
Good, it didn't affect anything.
Wen Bai put away his things and confidently walked out.
However, after a few steps,
he turned back.
Huh?
He was surprised to find that the number of people here had decreased again.
First, the blonde guy disappeared, and today, both "very good personality" and "beautiful eyes" were gone.
He was puzzled.
This was not the end of it. A few days later, he discovered that even the last remaining "very beautiful hair" had disappeared from the basement.
The entire basement, except for the collection on the wall and Yu Yang, was empty.
However, he didn't ask about Su Ying's affairs.
Until one day, he went out to forage for food.
After Ji Tianle's successful confession to Lin Shuangshuang and their relationship, their three-person foraging team had now become Wen Bai's solo foraging mission.
Wen Bai followed the navigation to a restaurant and saw that it was indeed the one he wanted to eat at.
He waited for a while, and his number was called.
He followed the waitress inside, and coincidentally, two people were coming out.
They brushed past each other.
The woman's hair was too long, and a gust of wind at the entrance blew it across Wen Bai's shoulder.
Wen Bai lowered his head slightly and glimpsed the ends of her hair.
His first thought was that this was the kind of hair Su Ying would like.
He subconsciously looked back and froze.
It was a woman. Her appearance was very ordinary, but her long, flowing hair, that thick, dark, and shiny mane, was particularly striking, adding much to her charm.
The woman was talking to the person beside her, tilting her head.
But these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that this woman looked exactly like the woman Wen Bai had seen in Su Ying's basement.
Although at that time, her eyes had been closed.
System 001 sensed Wen Bai's uncertainty and confirmed: "They do look alike."
But why was she here now?
And acting as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with friends.
Wen Bai looked at the restaurant in front of him. The staff was still saying to him, "Sir, please come this way, your table inside has been prepared."
"What time do you close?" Wen Bai asked.
"Huh?" The waitress was taken aback, "Sir, we close at 10 PM."
"Okay, then I'll come later."
Then, Wen Bai turned and changed direction.
He followed at a moderate distance. The woman, chatting and laughing with her friends, turned into a shop, and Wen Bai followed suit.
The shop assistants, seeing the three of them enter, assumed they were together and enthusiastically introduced styles to the first two.
The two women were browsing the shelves. To avoid looking too strange, Wen Bai also turned towards the shelves, pretending to be deeply engrossed in research, but his mind was elsewhere.
Then, a flippant voice rang out: "I didn't realize you had this kind of hobby."
Wen Bai snapped back to attention. Was that voice talking to him?
Then Wen Bai saw that in front of him were displayed rows and rows of extremely sexy ladies' underwear…
