Su Ding never expected to see this man here.
Gong Ge.
The one who, together with Shao Lin, had repeatedly framed her.
“Su Ding, long time no see.” Chen Gong stared at Su Ding intently and said slowly.
Su Ding glanced at him coldly, then turned to Jin Ye and said, “He is Chen Gong. When I was pregnant and went missing, he colluded with Shao Lin to cause me to miscarry. The one who kidnapped Xiao Rui back then was also his subordinate.”
Jin Ye had already known about Chen Gong.
It was just the first time he was seeing him. Chen Gong looked to be in his fifties, but his appearance was different from the fugitive system in the police database, suggesting he had undergone plastic surgery to evade capture.
But what puzzled him was how Chen Gong ended up in the Southern Territory, even intercepting their ship and surrounding them.
What secrets lay behind this?
“Su Ding, you are mistaken. I am no longer called Chen Gong; I am Ouyang Gong.”
Although Chen Gong was smiling, there was a chill in his eyes. “Speaking of which, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for you to call me Uncle.”
At these words, Su Ding and Ouyang Kai’s expressions changed.
Could Chen Gong also be a member of the Ouyang family?
“What are your intentions? Who sent you?” Ouyang Kai questioned coldly.
“You will find out soon enough.”
Ouyang Gong’s words were full of mystery, and he then signaled to the people behind him.
Suddenly, several figures stepped forward and sprayed a knockout agent at Su Ding, Ouyang Kai, and Jin Ye. They tried to resist, but it was too late.
...
After an unknown period, when Su Ding regained consciousness, she found her eyes completely unable to open.
She could hear the sound of chaotic footsteps and people whispering nearby, even a crisp sound like glass tubes colliding…
What was going on?
Why couldn't she open her eyes, and why did her limbs feel so weak?
Su Ding felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body, leaving her feeling light and airy. She tried to clear her mind, and the voices around her seemed to become clearer.
“Gong Ge, don’t worry. It will only take seven days for me to develop a drug that turns them into puppets based on their gene sequences. Then, it will be easy for you to extract any information you want from the Ouyang Master.”
“Very good. This matter is entrusted to you.”
“Gong Ge, you don’t need to be polite. We will all depend on you once you become the new Master.”
“Yes, I will keep my promises to you.”
Ouyang Gong nodded, looking at this place, which, despite being a cave dungeon, was now occupied by high-tech pharmaceutical equipment. He felt a sense of reassurance.
After all these years, his painstaking efforts had finally brought him to this point.
Back then, he was just a small-time hoodlum living in a slum on the nightclub street. It wasn’t until the day his mother passed away that he learned about his origins…
It turned out that the mother who worked in bars and nightclubs selling herself was not his biological mother.
She was a bar girl who met and fell in love with a man while working. However, the man rejected her because he was being chased while carrying an infant.
She didn’t know the man’s identity, only hoping he would give her a home. But the man disappeared. The last time they met was at night. The man said he was desperate and entrusted the infant to her for upbringing, giving her a letter with instructions to give it to the infant when they came of age.
Unexpectedly, before Chen Gong came of age, she fell gravely ill.
Over the years, she had relied on drinking and entertaining clients but hadn't saved much money, making it impossible to afford medical treatment.
“Gong’er, use the remaining money sparingly for your living expenses. Mom can only accompany you this far.”
At the age of sixteen, Chen Gong lost his only relative amidst a downpour that night. At the same time, he opened the long-sealed letter…
