Subordinate Doting - Chap 149
”Your stone? You and I want your stone?”
”But who will give me back my stone? I don’t even have any relics that can be put into the small box…”
He Zhuo was startled and his heartbeat stopped abruptly.
At that moment, he understood everything as if struck by lightning, and the knife hanging at the back of his neck finally fell.
Chapter 62 Teach Me
It got dark quickly tonight and there was not a single star in sight.
The moon was covered by dark clouds and looked like a ragged beggar.
The dark clouds were pierced by the reflected moonlight.
Ji Tingyu led his team to the nearest hospital to remove the poison that Baby Face had given them. They checked in the seriously injured, leaving a few people to take care of them, and the slightly injured were treated briefly before leaving. It was as if there were some terrifying demons behind them, forcing them to set off in a hurry in the evening.
The return trip is still by boat.
They chartered a small boat and rushed back to Nivelle overnight.
The next stop was clearly the long-awaited Diankang Volcano City, but it seemed so far away that it would never be reached.
Ji Tingyu sat by the window, with the roaring waves outside and the team members walking back and forth behind him. He rested his chin with one hand, so quiet that he seemed to be cut off from this world and returned to the most painful years of his previous life.
For the first time, I realized how easy it is to tear a person apart from the inside out.
Watching his will and body being destroyed bit by bit was more painful than all the torture he had suffered.
In the last two months, He Zhuo dismissed the four servants.
But his illness had become so serious that he didn’t even know who he was. He had lost his sense of day and night, and every day when he opened his eyes he had nightmares or hallucinations.
He saw that his legs were not disabled and he could still ride his horse wildly on the snow-capped mountains and compete with the swift snow leopard.
He also saw that the fifty-three members of the press department did not die because of him. They were having a bonfire party around the frozen lake as usual.
Finally, I saw He Zhuo holding his hand gently, taking him to see a doctor, taking him to do rehabilitation, sitting with him in the warm greenhouse on a snowy day, pouring two glasses of kitten whiskey, and asking him about Neville’s past.
Just when he mustered up the courage to try to speak, the illusion was suddenly shattered like a mirror.
The four men rushed in with ferocious faces and took him back to the moldy attic.
The slap knocked out his front teeth, twisted and fractured his arm, and filled his throat with the smell of earth mixed with the smell of loaches after rain.
He struggled to break free from his restraints with all his might and ran to the window in just three seconds. He watched He Zhuo leave without looking back after he cried for help.
That scene became the stuff of all his nightmares.
Just like a kitten that is caught in a net and sold to a vendor, it struggles to call for help from its owner, only to see its owner abandon it and walk away.
Until the day when the kitten was skinned, its tendons removed, and its bones dug out to make soup, it could not escape from the resolute back of its owner.
It wasn’t the net or the attic that trapped him.
It was the last vestige of obsession to survive that was shattered by the one you love.

”Boss? Boss!”
Rosalyn’s voice sounded behind her.
Ji Tingyu raised his hand to wipe away his tears without looking back.
”Eat something.”
Rosalin handed him a cup of milk paste made with various nuts. She remembered that He Zhuo often made this for Ji Tingyu. Every time, no matter how poor Ji Tingyu’s appetite was, he would drink a whole cup. However, the one she made was not as fragrant as the one He Zhuo made.
”Put it down.”
”oh.”
Rosalyn placed it on the table behind him, hesitant to speak.
”Let’s go, I’m fine.” Ji Tingyu interrupted her.
She scratched her hair and said, “At least drink the milk. Don’t eat anything and don’t care about the injury. You really want to kill yourself. Please don’t scare us. Those young omegas are so anxious that they are crying.”
These words made Ji Tingyu react, and he reached out to take the milk paste.
Rosalin finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder: “I’m leaving.”
The cat froze all over and closed its eyes tightly like a frightened bird. When the door closed, it lowered its head stiffly and saw that the milk paste in its hands had all spilled onto its chest due to stress, and the blood and milk residue were mixed into a ball.
He opened his eyes helplessly, and remained dazed for a long time.
He leaned his head against the window, his ears drooping like a puppy.
The night wind blew in many blue viburnums, which fell on my ears.
Ji Tingyu picked them up, gathered a handful in his palm, found a piece of wire to make a wreath, put it on himself, looked behind him, and said to someone unknown:
“I made the wreath myself…”
We… let’s just do this…
Before they left, He Zhuo fainted on the cruise ship due to serious injuries.
The team members wanted to send him to the hospital, but the wolf king was too big to be towed, and taking a boat to the hospital at the next port would take too long, so their condition could not be delayed.
Later, Morris arrived in time with a group of people. They used seven or eight helicopters to hoist the giant wolf up and airlifted it to the hospital for emergency treatment. From the time it entered the emergency room to the time it was out of danger, no one from the press department was there.
He felt sorry for his brother and couldn’t swallow this humiliation, so he stopped Ji Tingyu and his gang at the port.
”Old He lost half his life because he flew an undebugged plane for you. After three hours of rescue, none of you came out?”
The team members looked at each other with mixed feelings.
They were worried about He Zhuo’s injury, and also confused as to why Ji Tingyu suddenly broke up with him. But since the boss had given the order, no one was allowed to go, so they had no choice but to obey.
”We broke up, so it’s inconvenient to visit.”
Ji Tingyu’s voice was harshly cold.
Morris sneered: “I’ve been pursuing you with all my heart for half a year, and I haven’t made any mistakes. You want to break up just like that?”
”Yes, do you have any objection?” The cat turned around and put one hand on the Desert Eagle at his waist.
”Does this mean we have to go to war?”
Morris glanced at his waist and snorted with great disdain: “It’s all thanks to my stupid brother. He heard that you were attacked and asked me to gather all the people to rescue you. How long do you think it will take for these people to run your press department-“
