“Don't worry, Qin Kun,” Huo Jingtang smiled . “Your wife and children are in a safe place . As long as you follow my instructions, you'll get them back soon . ”
Qin Kun remained silent . He'd been presented with a hard choice to make . On one side, he'd have to fall into darkness and help Huo Jingtang with his evil deeds . Yet on the other hand, if he didn't, he would lose his family .
What should I do?
“I'll leave the medicine here . I'll give you time to consider my offer . ”
Xu Xiyan heard footsteps closing in on the door and quickly hid in a dark corner .
The office's door opened, and Huo Jingtang walked out from it with a huge grin on his face .
Xu Xiyan looked at Huo Jingtang's back as he left and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine . She'd never thought that Huo Jingtang was a man who would do something like that .
Huo Jingtang had acted like he cared about Huo Yunshen, but that was just an act . In truth, he even tried to hurt Huo Yunshen by swapping his medicine with something that would harm him .
Xu Xiyan couldn't help but sigh at Huo Yunshen's harsh life .
Huo Yunshen had always looked up to Huo Jiungtang as his brother because, he was saved by Huo Jingtang when they were little . He felt like he owed Huo Jingtang for that and always agreed to everything Huo Jingtang wanted .
Huo Yunshen thought of Huo Jingtang as his own brother, while Huo Jingtang thought of him as a thorn in his flesh .
If Huo Yunshen learns of this, it will definitely hurt him .
Xu Xiyan sighed, but at the same time, she also felt relieved that she'd gotten to hear the conversation .
She stood in the corner and thought of how to proceed . After coming up with a plan, she walked to the door and opened it .
Qin Kun was sitting in his chair lost in thought .
“Good afternoon, Professor Qin, I'm here for Mr . Huo's medicine,” Xu Xiyan said as she walked in .
Huo Yunshen had already phoned Qin Kun and told him that Xu Xiyan would be in charge of fetching his medicine in the future .
“Miss Jing Xi,” Qin Kun could barely form his words of greeting .
“This is his medicine right?” Xu Xiyan looked at the white bottle on the table and asked . “I'll take them, then, thank you for your hard work . ”
Qin Kun did not respond, and Xu Xiyan took that as a yes . She took the bottle and turned to leave .
“Wait,” Qin Kun called out just as Xu Xiyan was about to turn the handle on the door . “That's the wrong medicine . ”
Xu Xiyan let out a breath of relief . She understood that it could cost Qin Kun everything to have made that decision .
He still hasn't given up on his humanity yet, even when his own family is in danger . He did not forfeit his vow and his promises .
“If I'm correct, then this is the medicine that'll cause nerve paralysis to a normal person if they use it often . ” Xu Xiyan turned and smiled while putting the medicine back on the table . “If a disabled person took it, they'd never be able to stand again, am I right?”
Qin Kun's expression instantly changed, and he had no idea how to respond to the question .
