Chapter 571 The memory gaps filling in Jia stared at Bojing and observed that he had indeed not been crying. His expression was still as calm before the storm. His dark, brooding gaze felt akin to a death sentence that loomed in the air.
She noticed the prison's metal door was broken. Her eyes widened.
"He…"
"Broke that," Mingshen shrugged. "That's nothing for him."
"Are you crazy? It wasn't just a normal metal door! Current was passing through it! How can he escape while getting zapped by electricity!? That's life-threatening!"
Mingshen smiled. "He is Lu Bojing. Not only is his body naturally reinforced, you forget that as a child, he was kidnapped and experimented upon."
She stiffened, and she felt a squeeze in her heart.
Experimenting…
"Do you think he wasn't zapped with electricity before? His body has become attuned to it. It doesn't mean it won't hurt him. But when he reaches this state, he just doesn't feel any sensation."
Jia clenched her fists. She saw the tiny blood drops trickling from his palm and the purple bruise which was caused by coming into direct contact with electricity.
Shit, I was late with tripping off the lights! If I was faster in dealing with those fools, then…
"Oof! Is my Spicy blaming herself?" Mingshen narrowed his eyes and leaned his devilishly handsome face. "If that's so, then I will have to punish you. How can my Spicy feel sad like this? You are Spicy. You should be fiery like the spiciest chillies!"
She glared at him. "Tell me what will happen now?"
"Oh? Look for yourself~"
Inside, Bojing stood before Li Dong, expressionless. He was the Bojing of before who cried and trembled in fear. Instead, he instilled fear into Li Dong now. His body was soaked in sweat, and he was hastily scrambling backwards to escape from Bojing. But there was no escape.
"Y-you…"
Why does he seem so different? I have never seen Bojing in this condition before. Cold, unfeeling eyes that would gobble upon everything that came in his way.
He was a force not to be messed with.
"I-I don't understand…"
"Of course, you won't~ Because you had run away before you could see this crazy state of my dear assistant's."
Li Dong froze. He slowly turned his head and witnessing Mingshen before him was like he was zapped with lightning now.
"Yang…Yang Mingshen…" his voice broke.
Mingshen whistled. He stepped in, unafraid of Bojing's state.
"How the hell are you here!?" Li Dong flipped. Seeing his archenemy right in front of him because of whom he had to flee out of the country made his blood boil.
Mingshen raised his brow. "So bitter, Li Dong. Aren't we such good friends~?" A trace of alarm rang in his voice. "How can I forget that pathetic doctor you sent to kill me with that pathetic cutter? I am the charismatic Yang Mingshen. At least use a sophisticated scalpel to kill me," he sighed.
Zexi's mouth twitched.
What…what is this man talking about? Instead of getting angry, he is suggesting different methods to kill himself!?
Jia was used to this madness, so she only grimaced.
"Yang Mingshen!" Li Dong screamed. "It's all because of you that I had to flee! You attacked my base and killed my men! You destroyed my research and I had to start from everything! You…I won't forgive you for this!"
Jia narrowed her eyes and removed her mask as she walked up to him. "You have no idea how many laws you have broken, you bastard. Even justice would have to think hard in giving you a fitting punishment."
Li Dong blinked his eyes and stared at her. "You…"
Then a sharp gasp escaped his mouth. "You are Song Jia! You are the one who was killed by Wei's hands! How…how are you alive? Jiang Zhen told me this himself! You should be dead."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a punch landed on his face that broke his nose and a few of his front teeth. Blood oozed from his face, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't even yelp.
Mingshen tilted his head, a dangerous glint passing his dark eyes. "You have some nerve talking about my Spicy like that. It isn't her, but you should be dead. But aren't you alive anyway?"
Li Dong shuddered.
"And for your kind information," he sneered. "I wasn't the one who killed your men years back and spilled blood."
Li Dong shook his head as if trying to deny his claim. "Lies…" he breathed hard. "You…came with your army and-"
"That was Bojing who wiped out your entire base."
Not only Li Dong jolted upon hearing this but Jia and Zexi were shocked beyond belief. Zexi recalled Bojing telling her how his broken memories let him know that he was a child kidnapped and used as a research subject. He was nine when Mingshen tracked Li Dong's base and came to attack.
Did he mean to say that Bojing wiped out the adult guards and scientists only as a child!?
Mingshen hung his arm around Bojing's neck as if he wasn't his Boss but his best friend. "Right my cry baby assistant~ Knock, knock. Do you hear me? Do you remember the night when you spilled the blood of countless men? Do you? Do you?" His eyes sparkled.
Zexi was horrified.
He shouldn't be acting this chummy towards Bojing when he looks like that! Bojing will snap his neck in no time.
Bojing didn't respond. His gaze didn't flicker. He didn't move.
But his mind was lighting up as if memories were flowing into it. He had a broken chain of memories, and he never remembered what happened the night Mingshen arrived at Li Dong's base with his men.
He only remembered Mingshen standing before him and smiling like a demon. He pulled him up and walked him out of that dark, menacing prison where he spent his nine long years in torture and pain.
But now, the gaps were filling in to form a complete picture, and the night was as clear as crystal.
