"Woo woo woo, Dad, I really can't take it anymore."
Huang Yudie whispered through her tears to Huang Lianjiang, "Let's hurry and run away. If we don't, that person will truly torment us to death."
Huang Lianjiang's face was filled with worry. He also wanted to escape this Fog Mountain Sanctuary with his daughter. However, outside the sanctuary stood a wall over two meters high, and the only exit was guarded by Ability users. As ordinary people without any abilities, they had no chance of escaping.
He sighed and said to his daughter, "There's no way... we can't escape."
Despair filled Huang Yudie's eyes. Just a few days ago, she had been a pampered rich girl, a flower sheltered from the wind and rain. Yet last night, she had been tormented by Li Zhiqiang, suffering severe physical and mental harm.
Rather than continue to be a slave to Li Zhiqiang here, she would rather fight him to the death now. "Dad, since we can't escape, let's just confront him. Even if we die, it would be better than staying here and being tortured."
Huang Yudie's gaze was resolute, her eyes flashing with hatred.
Huang Lianjiang lowered his head in silence. As a wealthy businessman worth billions, he was usually calm and composed, never acting impulsively. But now, he found himself somewhat agreeing with his daughter's suggestion.
This morning, they had already endured two rounds of exposure to the toxic gas. Their skin had been corroded by the poison, leaving several noticeable blisters on both of them. Their throats felt painfully sore, and they coughed intermittently.
Huang Lianjiang knew that if they continued to stay here, they would surely be treated as slaves by Li Zhiqiang every day from now on. If they went through more exposure to the gas like this, they would likely end up dead anyway.
Rather than slowly dying in endless pain and torment like that, it might be better to be electrocuted by Li Zhiqiang right now.
In the corner of the building, Lu Xiaoran listened intently to their conversation. A slight smile crept onto his lips as he devised a clever plan: use these two to eliminate Li Zhiqiang so that the sanctuary's management wouldn't suspect him.
Lu Xiaoran glanced up; the position of Huang Lianjiang and his daughter was precisely in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras.
He no longer hesitated and quickly walked to the corner of the stairs.
At that moment, Huang Lianjiang was hesitating in his heart when he suddenly saw a figure coming around the corner of the building.
He looked up and met Lu Xiaoran's gaze.
Seeing that it was Lu Xiaoran, Huang Lianjiang's heart sank. He knew this person was in cahoots with Li Zhiqiang. If Lu Xiaoran had overheard his conversation with his daughter, and if he went to report it to Li Zhiqiang, both he and his daughter would surely face another beating.
Huang Lianjiang anxiously looked at Lu Xiaoran, wanting to explain, but before he could speak, Lu Xiaoran took the initiative: "I heard what you just said. You two want to kill Li Zhiqiang, right?"
Upon hearing this, both Huang Lianjiang and Huang Yudie turned pale, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.
Huang Lianjiang fell to his knees with a thud, pleading humbly with Lu Xiaoran: "Please, don’t tell Li Zhiqiang about this. We were just talking; we wouldn’t dare do anything."
Lu Xiaoran stepped forward and helped Huang Lianjiang up, looking at him seriously: "Boss Huang, you misunderstood me. I’m not planning to report you."
