"You...you..."

Wumian stared at Lin Li in terror, as if he were looking at a demon.

Lin Li held a machete that he had somehow acquired, the blade still dripping blood.

"Surprised?"

He even chuckled and slowly said, "I'm giving you acupuncture not to save you, but to keep you conscious."

"Look around."

Faceless turned his head, trembling, and only then did he realize that the huge iron cage was surrounded by all kinds of torture instruments.

Barbs, iron whips, branding irons, bone-crushing hammers...

This is not an ordinary dogfighting cage; it's a torture chamber!

"Letting dogs eat live people is something only animals would do."

Lin Li looked at the blood on the cleaver and said calmly, "I'm a very particular person. I like to chop the meat into small pieces and feed it to my child little by little."

"You still have two limbs and a torso, enough to feed these dogs for a long time."

"So? Can we have a proper chat about Luo Zhengting now?"

Faceless looked at the few drooling, staring dogs at him, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Fine, you're stubborn enough."

Lin Li scoffed and said coldly, "Then we'll play slowly."

……

As dawn broke, only a pool of barely recognizable blood and a few broken bones remained inside the iron cage.

Lin Li, holding a high-pressure water gun, expressionlessly washed away the filth on the cement floor. The red blood flowed away along the drainage ditch, quickly making the area clean again.

The three Rottweilers and the mother wolf were all full, lying in the corner of the cage, burping contentedly.

Seeing the lazy state of these "heroes," Lin Li had no choice but to give them a bath himself.

After doing all this, he changed into a clean set of clothes and drove away from the dog farm.

When we got back to Tan Palace No. 1, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Li walked into the bathroom, stood under the shower, and let the hot water wash over his body.

He looked at himself in the mirror, the fierceness in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he returned to being the somewhat lazy young man.

"Luo Zhengting..."

Lin Li muttered the name to himself, then suddenly sneered and collapsed onto the bed: "There's plenty of time. We'll play around with this for now."

After saying that, he fell asleep almost instantly.

He slept straight through until four in the afternoon, and when he woke up, Lin Li felt much more relaxed.

He picked up Ye Yaojia's phone, which had dozens of missed calls and hundreds of messages, all addressed with terms like "Great-Grandpa," "Second Uncle," and "Third Aunt."

It seems that news of Dugu Yan and her group has already reached the Ye family in Liancheng.

Lin Li wasn't interested in the Ye family, so he casually opened the photo album.

He had only intended to see if there were any useful clues, but once he looked, his eyes widened.

This girl has so many selfies in her photo album!

Moreover, the styles are not uniform; some are wearing traditional Hanfu, some are wearing JK uniforms, and there are even...

Lin Li's finger stopped on a photograph.

In the photo, Ye Yaojia is wearing a black lace lingerie set with a semi-transparent white shirt over it. Her wet hair is draped over her shoulders, and she looks at the camera provocatively.

The skin that was faintly visible, the slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, and those long, straight, white legs...

"Holy crap..."

Lin Li felt a surge of heat rush to his head and exclaimed in disbelief, "This girl seems incredibly arrogant, but she's actually quite the repressed pervert in private?"

He flipped through a few more photos, all of them were highly explicit and aesthetically pleasing artistic photos, each one a masterpiece that made one's blood boil!

"My apologies, my apologies..."

Lin Li verbally apologized, but honestly looked at the photos again and exclaimed, "That figure is truly incredible."

……

Special care ward area of ​​the First Municipal Hospital.

Because of Bai Nian'an, Gu Xiaomeng, Ye Yaojia, and Ye Lingfeng were all assigned to the same department, but in different wards.

When Lin Li pushed open the door, the ward was very quiet.

Gu Xiaomeng was leaning against the headboard reading a book when Ye Yaojia paced anxiously around the room, holding the hospital's landline phone in her hand.

"Lin Li!"

As soon as Lin Li entered, Ye Yaojia immediately dropped the microphone and rushed over, grabbing his arm.

"Where did you go? I can't get through to you on the phone. Where's my phone?"

Her eyes were red-rimmed, clearly from crying. "Where's Great-Grandma? How is she? Didn't you go to rescue her? Where is she?"

Faced with this barrage of questions, Lin Li paused for a moment, then evaded the main point, saying, "My phone was dead, so I left it at home to charge. As for your great-grandmother..."

He paused for a moment, then lied again: "She was slightly injured and has been picked up by the Ye family. She should be on her way back to Liancheng."

Ye Yaojia is still very weak. If you tell her that Dugu Yan is dead, she will probably break down.

"real?"

Ye Yaojia looked at Lin Li suspiciously, "Then why didn't you bring her to the hospital? Why did you send her directly back to Liancheng?"

"How would I know about the Ye family's affairs?"

Lin Li shrugged, looking completely innocent. "Maybe they feel Jiangcheng isn't safe."

Although Ye Yaojia felt something was wrong, she finally felt relieved to hear that her great-grandmother was alright.

Lin Li couldn't bear to look at her any longer, so he walked to Gu Xiaomeng's bedside and softly asked, "How are you feeling today?"

Gu Xiaomeng smiled sweetly at him and typed a message on her phone: Much better, the wound doesn't hurt as much anymore.

"That's good, I'll change your dressing."

Lin Li pulled up a chair and sat down, carefully unbuttoning Gu Xiaomeng's hospital gown to reveal her shoulders and back wrapped in gauze.

Those were wounds sustained while saving him.

Tell me if it hurts.

Lin Li took the medicine from the bedside table gently, afraid of hurting Gu Xiaomeng.

Gu Xiaomeng blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Watching this scene, Ye Yaojia felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Hmph, hypocrite."

She muttered something and turned away, not wanting to look.

"Miss Ye, your wound needs a dressing change too."

After changing Gu Xiaomeng's dressing, Lin Li turned to Ye Yaojia and said, "Go lie down on the bed."

"I don't want to!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaojia immediately covered her chest with her hands and shouted, "I don't need you to change me! I'll have the nurse change me myself!"

Are you kidding me!

The way he looked at Gu Xiaomeng was so tender just now, he must be giving me that lecherous look!

and……

She suddenly remembered that her phone had been in Lin Li's hands for a whole day and night, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, you...you didn't go through my phone, did you?"

Ye Yaojia asked somewhat nervously.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow and gave her a meaningful look: "Randomly browsing? No, I just cleared out your memory and, incidentally, admired some... works of art."
