"o, wake up, o!!!"
k had found a way to get rid of all the guards watching Ou Yunchen and sneaked in to shake him. His hands and feet were all bound by chains...
Want to run? No way!
"o, wake up, it's k!!!"
Ou Yunchen gradually woke up and was furious when he saw k in front of him!
Just as he was about to lash out, he found his hands tied by chains. He was like a prisoner waiting to be interrogated.
k unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and urged Ou Yunchen to drink some, otherwise when the time came...
But Ou Yunchen took a sip and spat it all in k's face!!!
"You!!!"
"Traitor!!!"
"Are you crazy? You're cursing me the moment we meet!"
"Instead of calling you a traitor for betraying friends for profit, should I praise you? You dog of axe!!!"
"I'm a dog? You're not much better! You murderer!!! You killed so many brothers, and you still have the nerve to be alive!!!"
"You're spouting nonsense!!! It was axe who killed the brothers! You've been deceived by him!!!"
k was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered the brothers who sacrificed themselves in the battle of adopted sons. Many of them died at the hands of o. How could he blame axe!!!
If it weren't for axe saving k, he might have become a lonely ghost...
"You killed them, and axe saved me..."
"It was axe who sent people to hunt me down. When I was hiding in other countries, struggling to survive, where were you to save me!"
"o, have you forgotten that you killed the brothers? That's why Old Tang ordered... that you must die..."
"I didn't kill them!!!"
But as Ou Yunchen roared, the scene of the adopted sons' tragic deaths reappeared in his mind. With a splitting headache, he could only roar to escape those terrifying faces.
"o, what's wrong with you?"
"I didn't kill them, it wasn't me!!!"
Suddenly, Ou Yunchen became quiet. k was more certain than ever that Ou Yunchen, like axe back then, had been framed by Old Tang...
"Why... am I seeing the scene of the adopted sons dying in front of me..."
"Because you really killed them..."
"But I don't remember killing them..."
"You were injected with a drug by Old Tang's men, just like axe back then..."
Ou Yunchen listened carefully to k's description. It turned out that the battle of adopted sons back then was orchestrated by Old Tang!
He wanted to select the most suitable person to inherit the Tang throne from among the many adopted sons. Because only by leaving the last surviving adopted son and eliminating the rest of the useless ones could the Tang Empire survive peacefully.
"Too many powerful adopted sons would also pose a threat to the Tang Empire... so letting you kill each other unknowingly was the best outcome..."
"Impossible, I wouldn't kill my own brothers!"
"That drug would temporarily make you lose your reason and only obey orders, so you were instilled with the idea of killing the other adopted sons..."
"Believe me, after you finished killing, to avoid guilt, you would be told that you killed traitors and that you did the right thing..."
"I don't believe what you're saying. You're axe's man. You know I'm still alive, so you'll definitely try to kill me!"
"axe knows you're alive. We didn't look for you because we wanted you to forget everything. You are innocent, a pawn used by Old Tang... consider it sparing your life..."
"You're spouting nonsense!!!"
"o, you shouldn't have come. I'll find a way to get you out, but after you leave, never come back, and never think about revenge."
Ou Yunchen shouted that he didn't believe it, but he gradually realized that what k said was very likely true...
Otherwise, with his atl so famous and his face appearing in so many financial news reports, wouldn't axe have noticed him?
More importantly, his fragmented memories also proved to Ou Yunchen the fact that he had cruelly murdered his brothers...
"o!!! Calm down, I know it's hard to accept at first, but it's all in the past. Only three of us are left among the adopted sons..."
"No, there's still z..."
"What? He's still alive?"
"Maggie saved him in a big fire..."
"Was it you who set the fire?"
"I don't know, I always thought it was axe... If it was me, I really deserve to die..."
***
At this very moment, michelle had received the doctor's assessment.
"Is it true?"
"We can be sure. This hair belongs to someone with a blood relationship to axe, and it's very likely the sister you're looking for."
A trace of a smile finally appeared on michelle's face. The long days of waiting seemed to have found hope.
"Can axe's transplant be done using this girl's heart?"
"Her heart indeed has a high survival rate, but given axe's current physical condition, he might not be able to undergo surgery anymore..."
"I don't care!!! As long as I find that girl, you must use her heart to save axe!!!"
The doctor was very conflicted. It wasn't that his medical skills were poor, but that axe had difficulty even staying conscious, surviving every day on large amounts of nutrient solution and external ventilators.
Or, perhaps, a corpse whose blood was still flowing would be more accurate...
michelle let go of the doctor and warned him to make sure axe held on until she retrieved the girl's heart. If even a day short, the doctor should prepare to be buried with him!
***
When michelle arrived underground, she saw k punching Ou Yunchen.
"michelle, you're here. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I punched him a few times..."
"Heh, well done. As long as he's still breathing for me to interrogate, I don't mind chopping off his limbs."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Where is that girl?"
"If you promise to save her, I'll tell you..."
"You're risking your own life for her, it seems this girl is quite important to you."
"What girl?"
"This guy found axe's sister."
k was even more shocked. No wonder Ou Yunchen risked his life to find michelle!!!
"Why not just bring her back directly? Why save her?"
"Speak! Why!!!"
"She's being targeted by colin's men..."
michelle and k exchanged nervous glances. They felt that things had become complicated. If colin knew the girl's whereabouts, he would definitely use her to threaten the Tang Empire...
"Are you colin's man?"
k stared intently at Ou Yunchen, afraid he would say yes, which would definitely make michelle kill him on the spot.
"Why are you asking so much? Just find a way to save axe's sister from colin, and you can do whatever you want with me..."
"Yeah, let's not worry about that for now. Saving her is the priority."
"How do I save her?"
"Let me go back."
"What?"
"colin and I have a plan to use axe's sister to lure axe out, and then kill him..."
michelle was so angry that she was about to draw her gun, but k held her back tightly, asking michelle to listen patiently...
Thus, Ou Yunchen withheld some information and did not reveal the latest plan formulated with colin.
"You betrayed colin, how can I be sure you won't betray me?"
"When our people arrive, you won't only fail to let us save the girl, but you'll also cause us heavy losses?"
"No, you just need to protect the girl in secret. When the time is right, I'll naturally let you rescue her."
michelle raised her gun again. She didn't want to listen to this guy who betrayed and spread information everywhere anymore. She'd rather not believe him than keep him alive.
"Wait, michelle, I believe him. We can't kill him for now..."
"Get out of the way! If I check the people around him, I'll know where the girl is. There's no need to keep him alive!"
"Listen to me... If you kill him now, and colin finds out he's dead, it will only intensify the conflict between us..."
"He might threaten axe with the girl before you find her..."
"axe is unconscious, he has no awareness! colin will never see axe!"
"But she's axe's sister. Aren't you afraid that colin will go berserk and kill her? If axe finds out that your recklessness caused his sister's death..."
"Ah!!!"
michelle raised her handgun and fired it into the sky, startling k, who immediately cowered and covered his head...
"Am I supposed to let this person live?"
