Look! He had only been in there for a short while, but he had already become skin and bones! Now he had finally reached the end of his life! Thinking of this, he cried silently in a sorry state. His miserable appearance of snot and tears shocked Tang Wenyi, who had just pushed the door open! Why was her son crying as soon as he woke up? Could it be that his life in prison was too difficult?
Without thinking too much, she quickly placed the freshly cooked chicken soup by the bedside table and said in a choked voice, “Ah Ze, are you alright? How are you feeling now? Do you need me to call the doctor over? Oh right, is there anything you want? I’ll arrange for someone to prepare it for you.”
“… Good! Very good!”
Lu Ze opened his mouth for a long time but only said these words. His voice was extremely hoarse, and it sounded like he was scratching the blackboard with his nails. Just by hearing the voice, it was impossible to guess if the voice was male or female. At the same time, this made Tang Wenyi subconsciously have goosebumps. What exactly did her son suffer in prison?
Not only were there scars everywhere, but his voice was also unbearable. Even his brain was not normal. Where was her healthy and sunny son? She couldn’t help but blame Xing Boke, who was the deputy warden. He had clearly worked with the Tang family for many years, so why couldn’t he just take care of Lu Ze?
It seemed that she would have to complain to Old Master Tang about him when she returned home. The Tang family did not need disobedient dogs!
Lu Ze repeated with tears streaming down his face, “Mom, am I out? Can I go back to the Tang family? I miss home! I don’t want to go to prison again in this life! Mom, I want to kill Lu Ming! I want to kill Lu Ming! I won’t let him off!”
Tang Wenyi’s heart ached even more.
Her eyes were red as she said, “I’m sorry, Ah Ze. I’m useless. You’re in a special situation this time. If it weren’t for Old Master personally coming forward, I’m afraid the prison wouldn’t have let you out. So after you’ve recovered, you still have to go back. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let you live!”
Lu Ze looked desperate when he heard the answer that he didn’t want. He tried to vent his frustration, but he realized that he was weak. He couldn’t even get up! He had almost forgotten that he had fallen ill in prison! He thought he would die like this, but now it seemed that a moment of surprise had made him stop thinking.
Now, he was faced with only two choices. He could either do whatever he wanted freely in his last moments, or he could return to prison after he recovered and wait for his family to save him!
He did not hesitate much on this question and chose the latter without thinking. He was only in his early twenties and had so many good years waiting for him. How could he give up so easily? He still had a lot of unfinished business! He could not bear to part with the power and status the Tang family gave him!
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in prison. It was said that Lu Ming Corporation had made a medicine that could deal with the epidemic, and the recovery rate was as high as 99.9%! In other words, as long as he took it, he would be able to survive smoothly!
......
At the thought of this, he seemed to have grabbed onto the last straw and said impatiently, “Mom! Can you go and invite Lu Ming over? I want to live! I don’t want to die yet! Mom, only This Place No. 3 can save me now. No matter what Lu Ming wants, give it to him!”
Seeing her son’s strong desire to live, Tang Wenyi’s heart ached. If she had the initiative, she would have fed him the preventive medicine when Ah Ze came out! Why would she helplessly watch time tick away?
However, she could not say anything that would be a blow to him, so she comforted him. “It’s fine. Old Master has already personally gone to Lu Ming Corporation to get the medicine. No matter how much that bastard Lu Ming hates me, he has to hand over the medicine obediently on account of the Tang family! Unless… he really doesn’t want to stay in the capital anymore!”
Such confident words made Lu Ze’s confidence increase. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted. He couldn’t help but sigh. It had to be the Tang family! If it was Lu Yaohua, he would definitely fail this time! With the old master around, what couldn’t he do? He was probably not far from being released from prison!
Little did he know that Tang Wenyi only said these words to calm him down. With Lu Ming’s personality, she really did not have much confidence. After all, she was not afraid of unreasonable people, but she was afraid of those who did not care about their lives. Who knew what that lunatic would do to take revenge on them!
All she could do now was pray that the other party really couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and hand over the medicine on Old Master’s account! If it really didn’t work, she would go over personally. Wasn’t it just asking for the medicine? At most, she would kneel a few more times and kowtow a few more times. Then she would use both a carrot and a stick. She didn’t believe that Lu Ming wouldn’t be willing to let go!
She was familiar with this kind of thing now. She didn’t even know how much she had been forced to do. Now that her son’s life was at stake, everything else was not worth mentioning! Thinking of this, she glanced at the quartz clock on the wall. It had been a while. She wondered why the old master was not here. Just as she was about to contact him, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
If one listened carefully, they would hear a steady voice that was about to disappear.
This made her happy. Could it be that the old master had brought him here? In the next second, she saw the familiar face that she had been thinking about day and night. She subconsciously blurted out, “Lu Ming? Did you bring the medicine? Hurry up! Ah Ze can’t hold on for long!”
At the same time, Lu Ming heard an electronic voice that he had not heard in a long time.
[Host, please make one of the following choices:
Option 1: Immediately agree. For the sake of my half-brother’s recovery, I will decisively hand over This Place No. 3. Reward: Shanghai Central Building.
Option 2: Reconsider and weigh the pros and cons. Reward: A random well-known pharmaceutical company overseas.
Option 3: Reject them flatly. Let the Tang family suffer the consequences of their own actions. Reward: Medicine proficiency. Additional Chinese medicine books. (All the painstaking efforts of the doctors over the past hundred years have been included. It is a treasure that countless doctors can’t obtain.)]
When Lu Ming heard the word ‘choices’, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. If he really cared so much about blood relations, he wouldn’t have sent Lu Ze directly to prison back then. He said indifferently, “He won’t be able to last long? In the past, when he was seriously ill, he would spend all his time indulging in debauchery. I think he’s very tough! Even if I came a few days later, he would still be alive.
“I think he’s still thinking about these things, right? When he’s feeling better, he’ll go to the clubhouse to find a woman.”
