(It's the end of the month, and the competition for monthly votes is fierce! The experts are fighting tooth and nail, which seriously affects social harmony and hinders the construction of spiritual civilization. In order to prevent this from happening, everyone should cast all their monthly votes for a certain forum! Come on, come on... cast as many as you can! Wahahaha...)

"Hmph! You three bastards, have you given up yet???" Officer Zhu sneered.

"I'm convinced, completely convinced..." said Young Master Yao.

"I'm convinced..." Luo Zhendong and Niu Buqun said in unison.

"You think you can just give in? Hmph, a life for a life, a debt for a debt. In the world of gangsters, there's one kind of debt you can't afford to owe: gambling debts. If you owe gambling debts, you lose your credit. I'll remember all three of your gambling debts, I'll remember them well. The day I'm unhappy, I'll come to your house to collect the debts. Hmph, you'd better watch out..." said Officer Zhu.

"Phew..." The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Since this Demon Lord Zhu said so, it meant that they didn't have to go out and embarrass themselves.

"However, whether it's borrowing or lending, there's always interest. The gambling debts you three owe will definitely have interest too, otherwise it's against the rules of the underworld..." Officer Zhu said quietly.

The policewoman's words made the third young master nervous again, and the youngest young master cautiously asked, "Sister, how is the interest calculated?"

"Every day, you all have to agree to one condition of mine. Is that too much to ask?" said Officer Zhu.

"You, taking advantage of someone in distress..." Young Master Yao's face turned pale with anger. The interest was simply too heavy. One condition every day, that would be 365 conditions a year, and 3,650 conditions in ten years... What kind of concept is this? It's practically like signing a contract of servitude.

"You won't agree??? No problem, take off your clothes and run... Don't forget the slogan..." Policewoman Zhu said calmly.

"Okay! I agree, one condition every day..." Thinking about the spectacle of running naked around the city, the young master finally bowed his head. If he really made such a fool of himself, his father's official career would be over. If he couldn't even manage his own son, what kind of class monitor was he?

"I agree too..." Seeing that Young Master Yao had agreed, Luo Zhendong and Niu Buqun followed suit.

"Alright..." Officer Zhu smiled slightly, pointing at Yao Shao, "You, go to school today, and when you come home tonight, wash your parents' feet. You have to do this every day from now on. That's the first condition..."

"Okay..." Young Master Yao nodded in agreement.

"Yours..." Officer Zhu pointed at Luo Zhendong, "Get your dad to promote me. I want to be the captain of the criminal investigation team, and transfer Li Fengshou to the criminal investigation team too..."

"Okay..." Luo Zhendong's father was a human resources professional and had some say in personnel transfers within the public security system; at the very least, he had considerable influence.

"And you, have your dad set up a welfare organization that provides free milk to orphanages throughout the city every week..." Officer Zhu pointed at Niu Buqun and said.

"That's a lot of money..." Niu Buqun was a little unhappy. A businessman! What kind of person uses their own money to do good deeds all the time?

"Then take off your clothes..." Officer Zhu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I agree..." Niu Buqun hurriedly and reluctantly agreed.

"Oh, the night is so beautiful tonight. Tomorrow, I'll see the results tomorrow. I hope you won't disappoint me..." Officer Zhu stretched lazily, then opened the car door. The beautiful girl immediately rushed out crying and buried herself in the young master's arms, sobbing loudly.

Policewoman Zhu ignored them, closed the car door, started the car, and drove back to the city.

As dawn broke, Yang Ming got up and went to the Fifth Hospital in the North of the City to visit Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Zheng. When he arrived at the hospital, the two elderly people were still unconscious. Tong Yu sat beside the hospital bed, his eyelids drooping.

"Alright, go back and get some sleep..." Yang Ming patted Tong Yu on the shoulder and said.

"Oh! It's my brother-in-law???" Tong Yu was startled and quickly stood up.

"Go get some sleep, you're on duty again tonight..." Yang Ming said.

"Oh! I see..." Tong Yu yawned, then turned and left.

Looking at the two elderly people who were unconscious, Yang Ming sighed slightly. The lives of these two people had been too bumpy. Their son died young, and they could not have any more children after that. The two of them depended on each other for survival, and now they had even been in a car accident.

"How about we feed them some dragon eggs?" Yang Ming thought to himself. "Maybe they can regain their youth and have a child. With a child, Zheng Yu's wife will be free too..."

"Brother-in-law's here..." Su Xiaodie walked in carrying a food box, but didn't see Tong Yu anywhere: "Where's Tong Yu???"

"Oh, it's Xiaodie?? Bringing food to Tong Yu?? He went to sleep, just left..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

Su Xiaodie blushed and said, "Has brother-in-law eaten? Eat something first, then I'll go buy him some more..."

"No need, no need. I ate before I came. Xiaoyu has been tired all night. Go and take him his food so he can eat and get a good night's sleep..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"I don't believe you, brother-in-law, you definitely haven't eaten..." Su Xiaodie put the food box on the cabinet and then ran away in a flash.

"This little girl..." Yang Ming shook his head, not being coy, opened the food box and started eating. To be honest, this little girl really knew Tong Yu's tastes quite well. These were all fried foods that Tong Yu liked to eat. However, Yang Ming wasn't a picky eater, so he ate quite well.

"Excuse me, are you a patient's family member?" Yang Ming was eating when the doctor and a group of nurses came in for rounds. Seeing Yang Ming standing by, the doctor asked.

"Yes, that's right..." Yang Ming quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and stood up.

"Oh!" The doctor nodded. "Are they your parents?"

"No, that's not it. They... I have a good relationship with them, a very good one. They don't have children, so there are some things I can decide for them..." Yang Ming said after considering for a while.

"That's good... The patients haven't suffered serious injuries, but they haven't woken up yet. I think the reason might be psychological. In this regard, we need someone who knows them well to help us find their lesions and then treat them..." the doctor said.

"No problem, just tell me, what do you want to know?" Yang Ming said.

"What are the two patients' greatest wishes? What is their greatest harm? I only need to know these two things..." the doctor asked.

"If I had to say what their greatest wish is, it would definitely not be for someone to sweep their graves after they die, but rather to have a child so that the Zheng family line can continue. The greatest tragedy, I think, is the drowning of their child thirty years ago..." Yang Ming said.

"Okay, I will formulate a treatment plan as soon as possible based on these two pieces of information..." the doctor said.

"Thank you, doctor..." Yang Ming said.

The doctor examined the elderly couple again and, finding nothing abnormal, left with a group of nurses to make rounds elsewhere.

The phone is ringing... The phone is ringing...

A cell phone rang, and Yang Ming quickly took it out of his pocket. He saw that it was Wei Qingqing on the caller ID and answered it immediately.

"How is it???" Yang Ming had just answered the phone when Wei Qingqing's anxious voice came through.

"What happened???" Yang Ming asked.

"Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, how are they?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"He's perfectly fine physically, just unconscious..." Yang Ming said.

"Why did you faint? Have you found the cause? Is it because of Xiaoyu???" Wei Qingqing asked anxiously.

"It has nothing to do with Xiaoyu. The doctor said it might be due to psychological reasons..." Yang Ming said.

"I'm so worried right now. Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng are so pitiful, and they still have to go through this..." Wei Qingqing's voice choked with sobs.

"It's alright, it's alright! The doctor will come up with a treatment plan soon..." Yang Ming quickly comforted them. "Don't worry, there's no use in worrying. Once they wake up, we'll take them home. If they don't want to stay in Zhengjia Village, they can stay with Mom and Dad in Liujia Village..."

"Okay!" Wei Qingqing responded. "Honey, how about I go to the hospital to get checked out too..."

"No need, no need, your arrival is useless. I have everything I need here..." Yang Ming quickly said.

"Well... if anything happens to Uncle Zheng or Aunt Zheng, you have to let me know immediately... By the way, what time did you arrive yesterday? Why didn't you call me to let me know you arrived safely?" Wei Qingqing felt a little aggrieved thinking about how she had waited until the early hours of the morning last night.

"Uh! Well... after I arrived yesterday, your mom kept me up all night asking about your recent situation. By the time she finished, it was already late, and I figured you were probably already resting, so I didn't bother you... If you were really bored, why didn't you call me?" Yang Ming said.

"I thought you were driving, so I didn't dare disturb you..." Wei Qingqing said.

"You idiot, it only takes me three hours to get from home to the city..." Yang Ming said.

"How would they know? It was dark and the road was slippery, so it's normal to be a little late..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and leave. Just stay at home and don't go anywhere..." Yang Ming instructed.

"Okay, okay..." Wei Qingqing said coquettishly, "I'm just your kept canary at home..."

"Oh, not at all, aren't you still the factory manager of our family's textile factory?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Oh! That's right! Aunt Liu said yesterday that she didn't have enough silk fabric, so I have to go and weave some for her. Forget about it, just remember to call me if anything happens..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Okay, okay..." Yang Ming said repeatedly.

After putting away his phone, Yang Ming slowly walked to Grandpa Zheng's side. Looking at the unconscious old man, he was somewhat unsure of what to do.

"How about feeding him some dragon eggs? But fried dragon eggs are solid, what if he chokes? If he drinks raw egg juice, I'm afraid he'll choke. This stuff is like jelly, if it gets into his trachea, he might die. If we need a doctor's help, the dragon eggs can't be exposed..." Yang Ming was conflicted.

"This is a difficult situation..." Yang Ming shook his head inwardly.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Qingqing went to the wooden house in the back garden, wove the silk cloth that Aunt Liu needed on the loom, and then, carrying fruit and milk, entered the spaceship through the entrance under the wooden house.

"Ms. Gu, how are you? Are you comfortable?" Wei Qingqing arrived at the place where Gu Pan was being held. The lights were still on. Gu Pan was lying naked and limp on the ground, resting quietly. Next to her were some clothes that had turned to charcoal. Obviously, Gu Pan had tried to escape several times, and the lightning that had struck had completely destroyed her underwear.

"Why didn't you kill me???" Gu Pan slowly raised her head, her gaze towards Wei Qingqing filled with a calm yet deep-seated hatred.

"Harmony! Do you understand??? This is a harmonious society now, killing is not allowed..." Wei Qingqing smiled and put the fruit and milk on the ground.

"Hypocritical..." Gu Pan said coldly.

"Hypocritical, huh???" Wei Qingqing smiled slightly, "Even if it's hypocritical, you're still alive after all."

"But I'd rather die..." Gu Pan said.

"Want to die? It's easy! You can crash into this mountain wall or run away along the way you came. The electric shocks from the spaceship will get stronger and stronger. When the shocks are strong enough, they will kill you in one blow. It won't be a problem at all. If you think these two methods are too cruel, then go on a hunger strike. I will bring you food every day, but you can choose not to eat..." Wei Qingqing said.

Gu Pan's gaze was fixed on Wei Qingqing, sharp as a knife. If looks could kill, Wei Qingqing would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

"Whether you live or die is entirely up to you. I've heard that your people have a custom of disembowelment. I'm a very reasonable person, and if you're willing to follow your traditions, I won't stop you..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"I need a knife..." Gu Pan said coldly.

"What do you need a knife for? To cut open your abdomen???" Wei Qingqing laughed.

"Yes..." Gu Pan nodded coldly.

"No problem, I will meet your needs..." Wei Qingqing said, then turned around and went back the way she came.

"Where's the knife? You haven't given me the knife yet..." Gu Pan shouted at Wei Qingqing's back.

"I don't usually carry a knife with me. I'll go get it for you now. Wait a little while, take a good look at this world, and enjoy the last moments of your life..." Wei Qingqing's voice echoed back, reverberating through the cave.

Watching Wei Qingqing's figure disappear around the corner, Gu Pan gritted her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound, her small hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms.

Gu Pan waited quietly, waiting for Wei Qingqing to appear, waiting for that knife, waiting to perish together with Wei Qingqing.

Glug glug...

A rumbling sound came from her stomach, and Gu Pan realized that she hadn't eaten for about 24 hours since she was imprisoned yesterday. Coupled with the enormous pressure she was under, she was starving.

At that moment, a fragrance wafted over. This fragrance was quite unique, with a fresh and natural scent, a sweet scent, and even a slightly sour scent...

Glug...

Gu Pan couldn't help but swallow, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the fruit and milk that Wei Qingqing had placed on the ground.

Gu Pan felt her will gradually crumble as the aroma of the food wafted over her, so she quickly regained her composure and looked away from the pile of food.

Although she could no longer see the food, it seemed to be etched into her mind, constantly flashing before her eyes. At the same time, the aroma kept wafting into her nose, making the images etched into her mind even more vivid.

Slowly, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Gu Pan's mouth. It turned out that in order to resist the temptation of food, she had bitten the tip of her tongue. The intense pain and the salty, fishy taste of blood made her temporarily forget her hunger and put the temptation of food out of her mind.

The intense pain quickly subsided, and a feeling of swelling, tingling, and numbness filled my mouth. Unconsciously, my salivary glands secreted saliva more quickly, and the allure of the food's aroma became even stronger.

Glug glug...

Gu Pan's stomach rumbled even more violently, caused by intense friction against the stomach lining.

"Ugh..." The feeling of stomach linings rubbing against each other is absolutely unpleasant. Gu Pan covered her abdomen with her right hand, knelt on the ground, and kept gushing out acidic fluid.

"No, I must not give in..." Gu Pan kept telling herself, but her body seemed to be out of control, constantly crawling towards the pile of food.

As she got closer to the food, Gu Pan reached out and grabbed one of the most tempting peaches.

As soon as her fingertips touched the fresh peaches, Gu Pan burst into tears. She didn't know where the strength came from, but with a wave of her hand, she smashed the fruit everywhere, and many of the delicate ones were broken into pieces.

As some fruit broke apart, an even stronger aroma filled the air, making Gu Pan feel even more uncomfortable. Her stomach rumbled incessantly, as if she had two toads inside her.

"Ah..." Gu Pan cried out in pain, her right hand involuntarily reaching for the apple closest to her, and then grabbing it. Once she grabbed it, Gu Pan could no longer let go.

"No, no..." Gu Pan shook her head in pain, her right hand, which was holding the apple, involuntarily brought the apple to her mouth.

When the apple touched her cherry lips, Gu Pan could no longer hold back. She burst into tears and began to stuff the apple into her mouth.

"Oh dear, Ms. Gu, is this how you eat in your ethnic group? Do you recite 'Hoeing the fields at noon' to express your respect for laborers?" Wei Qingqing walked in carrying a pig-slaughtering knife at some point, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Gu Pan stuffing her mouthful of apples.

"Hmm..." Gu Pan stared blankly at Wei Qingqing, her mind completely blank.

"It's alright, eat up. Consider it our last supper, so you won't get hungry on the way and run out of energy halfway there..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"Waaah..." Gu Pan suddenly dropped the apple in her hand, covered her face and cried, but unconsciously swallowed the apple she was eating.

"Didn't you want to commit seppuku? I brought you a knife, but the knives here aren't as professional as yours. You'll have to make do with this pig-slaughtering knife... Although it's been stained with a lot of pig blood, you won't be conscious after this, so it doesn't really matter if it's dirty or clean..." Wei Qingqing said, throwing the pig-slaughtering knife in front of Gu Pan.

"Wei Qingqing, I'm going to kill you..." Gu Pan grabbed the butcher knife, roared madly, and flung the knife at Wei Qingqing's face.

Sizzle...

A flash of electricity destroyed the pig-slaughtering knife that flew through the air toward Wei Qingqing in an instant, turning it into a pile of iron powder that scattered on the ground. The electric arc didn't stop there; it raged over the iron powder for a long time until it turned all the iron powder into dark red iron oxide before slowly dissipating.

"I admire your courage, but I also despise your cowardice," Wei Qingqing's expression remained unchanged throughout. "You have the courage to kill me, but you don't have the courage to commit suicide. You're just an ordinary person, a very ordinary person, someone who's afraid of death. Although you think you're not afraid of death, in reality, you backed down when faced with it..."
