Chapter 899: Not convinced? Kill him (119)
In a small dark room
The room seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate the pitch blackness. However, in this dark corner, there was an instrument emitting a faint light, becoming the only source of light in the room.
The instrument emitted a monotonous and faint buzzing sound, and on the screen, a string of green numbers jumped regularly.
Because the light was so dim, only the vaguest outlines of objects in the room could be made out.
On one side of the room, the metal frame of the bed reflected the faint light from the instrument screen.
On the hospital bed, a man lay quietly, his body almost blending into the darkness, as if he had been swallowed by it.
The man's face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his true features. Only the blurry white shadow of the oxygen mask could be seen.
As his breathing became so weak that it was almost non-existent, a wisp of white mist would occasionally appear on the mask, but it would quickly disappear. Various tubes extended from his body, connecting to the machines that kept him alive.
In the other corner of the room, a person was tied tightly with thick ropes and thrown there in an extremely uncomfortable posture.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant mixed with the musty smell of dust, making people feel a little suffocated.
In this mixed smell, there was also a faint scent of perfume, which seemed to come from the tied person.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door was opened with a creak, and a dazzling light rushed in impatiently, instantly illuminating the entire room.
In the reflection of this strong light, two figures slowly appeared at the door. They were against the light, like messengers coming from hell.
The two figures appear a little blurry in the backlight, but it can be seen that their steps are very slow, giving a feeling of being in control of the overall situation.
The moment the door was closed, there was a "click" sound in the room, and all the lights were lit up instantly, and the room suddenly became as bright as day.
The sudden light made the person in the corner shrink back. Her eyes were stimulated by the sudden strong light and hurt. She subconsciously closed her eyes, then quickly turned her head and pressed her face tightly against the cold wall, using her scattered hair to block the glaring light source as much as possible.
It took her a long time to gradually adapt to the light, then she turned her head cautiously and looked at the two people who came in.
Tian Jie stood quietly behind Xing Rong, while Xing Rong sat quietly in a wheelchair. Her posture was elegant and calm, as if the world was under her control.
She lowered her eyes slightly, staring down at her in the corner, with a faint smile on her lips, and said softly: "Long time no see, should I call you... Lin Tan now?"
Lin Tan used to be elegant and noble.
Now her body was covered with stains, her once neat hair had become disheveled, sticking to her sweaty forehead and cheeks, and the expensive clothes on her body were in tatters.
She leaned crookedly against the cold wall, her body a little stiff from being restrained for so long.
She tried to straighten herself up, trying to maintain her shaky dignity, but the ropes tightly wrapped around her made all her struggles seem so futile and awkward.
"Lin Tan?" Lin Tan sneered, "Although I have ended up like this, I am still your elder after all. You should respectfully call me Madam." Her words revealed a deep contempt.
"He's indeed an uneducated bastard born by a bitch!"
Facing Lin Tan's insults, Xing Rong just smiled faintly. These words had no effect on her.
She calmly observed Lin Tan's reaction. Judging from her appearance, Laura's consciousness should not have regained consciousness yet.
Xing Rong's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile. They would probably only wake up when they were on the verge of death.
Her eyes fell on Lin Tan. "You deliberately angered me, just to see Zhou Silin quickly, right?"
