Goosebumps quickly covered Tao Fengche's arms.

Under extreme fear, his wrists trembled slightly, and even the plastic chopsticks he was holding seemed a little precarious.

Before that, perhaps because Zhao Jiayang hadn't used much violence against him, Tao Fengche still had some unrealistic fantasies in his heart.But at this moment, when he saw the alpha whose tongue had been artificially cut off just to ensure that he could keep the secret, he finally realized belatedly: the Zhao Jiayang he was familiar with, his uncle, had completely disappeared. up.

The current Zhao Jiayang is a dangerous person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Tao Fengche's face was pale, but the muscular man's expression was as usual, maybe he didn't feel anything, or maybe he was used to the reactions of others.He stretched out his hand and pulled out the chopsticks that Tao Fengche was holding tightly. The latter turned pale with shock and was defenseless.

The muscular man put the chopsticks into the lunch box, put them on the ground after tidying them up, then picked up the handcuffs that were set aside, and shook them in front of Tao Fengche's eyes. Or should I use force to force you to wear it?

He was wearing a black vest over a jacket, and his arms were heavily muscled.Tao Fengche took a look, then lowered his head, honestly stretched out his hands, and let the other party fasten them together again, and tied him back to his original appearance with hemp rope.

The feeling of losing freedom again was not good, Tao Fengche moved uncomfortably on the stool, trying to adjust to a more comfortable posture, but to no avail.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to show his harmlessness and obedience, so that the muscular man could change his binding method, but the latter suddenly took out a wet and thick white towel from his jacket pocket.

Tao Fengche instantly forgot what he was going to say, under his horrified gaze, the muscular man covered his mouth and nose with a white towel.

Needless to say, the towel had been soaked with drugs that would make people unconscious.He quickly closed his mouth, held his breath, and closed his eyes tightly, trying to resist in this way.It's a pity that the muscular man is very patient.

A few minutes later, Tao Fengche's lungs were exhausted, and his chest began to feel tight, followed by an indescribable pain, as if someone was hitting his chest with a hammer.

He could no longer restrain his desire to breathe.

The moment Tao Fengche's brain began to slow down as the first breath of fresh air entered his nasal cavity along with the inhaled anesthetic, his thoughts gradually fell into chaos. Immediately afterwards, his body also began to become heavy.

He returned to the familiar river again.

···

The lower the expectation, the higher the sense of happiness. Tao Fengche thought this was just a nonsense before, but now he feels that there is some truth in this sentence.

A strong evidence is that when he opened his eyes again and found that the scene change in a coma like last time did not happen, and he was still in that tightly guarded empty room, he unexpectedly felt A feeling similar to rejoicing.

——At least from this point, it can be inferred that even if the current location is not Zhao Jiayang's final destination, it is at least one of his fixed strongholds, and he called Sui Yuesheng here.As long as they stay here, the probability of Sui Yuesheng finding them will be much higher.

Tao Fengche heaved a sigh of relief, and the next second, he was attracted by the extra person in the room.

Zhao Jiayang was sitting not far from him, smoking a cigarette sideways in his direction.Cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground, and he still had one in his mouth. He lowered his head slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The lit cigarette butts were flickering with dots of fire, Zhao Jiayang took the cigarette out of his mouth after a long time, tapped it lightly to shake off the ash, and put the filter back into his mouth again, with very skillful movements.

Tao Fengche knew that Zhao Jiayang smoked, but he rarely saw him smoking.When he saw him suddenly today, he stared at the latter's silhouette for a while, feeling a bit lonely.

It's like a traveler who walks alone between heaven and earth, has no origin, and doesn't know where he is going.

Tao Fengche suddenly felt some pity for Zhao Jiayang, but when he turned his head to look at the hemp rope tied around his body, he felt that he shouldn't have such positive emotions towards the criminals who kidnapped him.

He sighed quietly in his heart, his mood was extremely complicated, but Zhao Jiayang was completely unaware of all this.

Tao Fengche didn't make any noise when he woke up this time, and he was immersed in his own thoughts all the time, so he couldn't find out what happened to Tao Fengche.

After a while, Tao Fengche made mental preparations, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and at the same time called Zhao Jiayang's attention back.

Zhao Jiayang looked over: "Are you awake?"

Zhao Jiayang's tone was flat, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face. A good interrogative sentence was abruptly turned into a declarative sentence by him.

This is obviously a question similar to the last time he woke up, but Tao Fengche felt for no reason that this time Zhao Jiayang was much more amiable than last time, his tone was not as stormy as last time, and even his eyes seemed Not so crazy anymore.

If it wasn't for the handcuffs on his wrists and the fact that he was tied to a chair, Tao Fengche would almost suspect that his former uncle had returned.

After all, times have changed.

Tao Fengche nodded tentatively, summoned up his courage and said, "Uncle..."

He tried to call out this familiar nickname again, but this time, Zhao Jiayang didn't turn around and leave with a cold face like last time, but he didn't answer the words as usual, he just glanced at him calmly.

Tao Fengche's eyes suddenly sparked some hope, and he continued his efforts: "What time is it?"

Being locked in such a dark room, and being dizzy after eating, it is easy for people to lose the sense of time.When Tao Fengche woke up last time, he could judge the scope of the passage of time according to the hunger in his stomach, but he ate too much food before he fell into a coma this time, which far exceeded his daily eating standard.

If there is gain, there will be loss, and while there is no need to worry about being starved to death in a short period of time, Tao Fengche can no longer rely on this to predict the time.

"Ten o'clock in the morning." Zhao Jiayang pulled up the sleeves of his suit jacket, glanced at his watch, and said an accurate number: "Ten twenty-seven."

...It's already the second day.

It has been nearly seventeen hours since he was kidnapped by Zhao Jiayang, and he doesn't know if Sui Yuesheng has called the police, and if so, what step has he reached now?

Tao Fengche sighed in his heart, expelled these thoughts that would make him anxious from his mind, and told himself to keep calm.

His previous thoughts were not wrong, Zhao Jiayang's condition today is much better than yesterday, at least he is now willing to answer his own question.

As long as you are willing to answer questions, there is a possibility of communication.

At this moment, Zhao Jiayang suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"

Tao Fengche's train of thought was completely disrupted by this question, he was stunned for a moment and then quickly shook his head: "I'm not hungry."

It's true, he ate too much last night, and now he has no appetite at all.

Zhao Jiayang hummed and said nothing.

In the silence, Tao Fengche took a deep breath, finished the draft again, and carefully asked the question buried in his heart: "Uncle, are you doing this for auntie?"

To Tao Fengche's surprise, Zhao Jiayang didn't respond.He maintained the same posture as before, holding the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, silently passed the filter to his mouth, and took a deep breath to let the nicotine enter his lungs.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and slowly exhaled the smoke ring.Gray-white smoke filled the air, covering Zhao Jiayang's face and his expression.

Tao Fengche realized that Zhao Jiayang was deliberately avoiding this question.

He regarded Zhao Jiayang as acquiescing, without the slightest embarrassment of being treated coldly, and continued the next sentence on his own: "I know everything. Auntie is a beta."

Tao Fengche paused every word and spoke very slowly.

This time, Zhao Jiayang finally turned his head and took a look at him.There was still no expression on his face, but there was still some surprise in his eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something.

Zhao Jiayang did not expect Tao Fengche to find this out.But he thought about it again, since Tao Fengche went to that production base by mistake and had been working under Jing Ning all the time, it's not surprising to know this.

Zhao Jiayang suddenly took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

The gray-white smoke was like a display screen, and through this hazy layer of mist, many memories kept reappearing in his mind.

Chu Yin had a pair of almond eyes, but there was a small tear mole in the corner of the right eye, and the color was also pale, so you had to get close to see it clearly, and it was especially beautiful when she smiled.

When they met for the first time, Chu Yin was so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind, her face had no flesh at all, and her eyes were as big as a skeleton.His body was covered with bruises and bruises, as well as marks that had been pinched by nails one after another. There was not a single piece of good skin all over his body.

After several years of raising her in Tao's house, she finally gave her some meat. Unfortunately, she was still in poor health. A family doctor was invited to see her. They said it was a disease brought on from the mother's womb. There was no way to cure it.Mr. Tao was worried about letting him go to school. After discussing with his wife, he simply hired a tutor to teach him.After Zhao Jiayang came back from school with Tao Zhixing, he would go around his room from time to time.

Perhaps it was because of the same dependence, Chu Yin has always been very sensible, and respected Tao Zhixing, the elder brother, but she has always been very clingy to him.Originally sitting at the desk obediently and doing homework, she smiled when she saw him coming, and occasionally came over and shook his sleeves, begging him to help with homework, saying that she wanted to play on the swing in the yard.

And then……

It was Chu Yin who entered puberty, quarreled with him with red eyes, insisted on becoming an omega, refused to listen to any persuasion, and was extremely stubborn.

And his swollen face, the skinny hands on the white hospital bed, and finally, finally...

Zhao Jiayang didn't want to recall any more, but those fragments that he firmly remembered and those he deliberately forgot still kept flashing back in his mind.

It's like a nightmare that can never be relieved.

Zhao Jiayang was silent for a long time, but in the end he just took out the cigarette case from the pocket of his suit jacket, shook out another cigarette, lit it again, took a deep puff, and dusted off the ash again: "Forget it, you little fart Kid knows shit."

Tao Fengche was expecting his answer with all his heart, but he didn't expect Zhao Jiayang to have such a reaction. He was a little disappointed and even forgot to refute for a while.

When he remembered, Zhao Jiayang's eyes became very far away again, as if he saw something that didn't exist through the air.

Zhao Jiayang didn't say a word again.

The curtain of silence fell, covering the whole room together and pressing down on Tao Fengche's heart.

The ground was full of smoked cigarette butts. Zhao Jiayang didn't wear a watch in his right hand. When he raised his hand to smoke, his wrist protruded a little from the shirt, and the dots of pinholes on it were very eye-catching.
