Zeng Jingrong had been waiting for Tian Jing. On the way to the dungeon, Zeng Jingrong told Tian Jing:
"Mr. Sun tested him in the cell. Jingchu's memory of what happened during those two months is very vague."
"But his hatred for Matvei and the others is very strong. Matvei is the head of a branch of the ability users' association, and Yulia is also in this branch."
"His idea is to kill Matvei and his group, even to torture them to death."
"When Jingchu first came back, although he hated what happened during those two months, I don't think it was as deep as it is now."
"Mr. Sun said he might have been hypnotized. He unraveled part of it after treating Jingchu."
"Mr. Sun said he would come back next month for more treatment, and it would take several more sessions to recover those two months of memories."
As they spoke, they arrived at the dungeon.
Tian Jing and Zeng Jingrong crouched together by the small window, looking at the two people inside.
In the cell, Zeng Jingchu sat by a small desk built into the wall, flipping through a book in his hands.
Yulia sat on the bed, holding a book, but her gaze was fixed on Zeng Jingchu.
In the quiet and pleasant atmosphere, the two seemed to sense something and looked up at the small window.
Seeing Tian Jing, Zeng Jingchu smiled as he always did, "Tiantian, you're here?"
Yulia became nervous. Tian Jing's arrival meant another test of Jingchu's state after going out. "Tian Jing, Jingchu just recovered..."
"I'm fine." Yulia's words were interrupted by Zeng Jingchu. "Tiantian, I'm ready. I also want to know what's wrong with me."
Saying that, he put down his book and stood in the middle of the room. "Come on."
Zeng Jingrong opened the cell door. Tian Jing flung out vines that wrapped around Zeng Jingchu and said to Zeng Jingrong, "Later, watch his changes carefully. I'll stop his abnormal movements."
Zeng Jingrong nodded. "Okay."
As Zeng Jingchu was fully pulled up, Zeng Jingrong and Tian Jing's gazes fell on his face and limbs respectively.
Outside the cell, Zeng Jingchu was also a little nervous.
Then, his face changed. He tried to cover his head, but Tian Jing wrapped his hands with vines.
As Tian Jing restrained him, she saw the change in Zeng Jingchu's pupils. What was this?
Then, the slightly stiff muscles on Zeng Jingchu's face made her expression change dramatically.
"Tiantian!"
Zeng Jingrong's shout woke up the stunned Tian Jing.
Tian Jing came back to her senses and saw Zeng Jingchu falling towards her with his mouth wide open.
After shouting, Zeng Jingrong reached out to grab Zeng Jingchu.
"Don't!" Tian Jing immediately covered herself and Zeng Jingrong with her ability field, then kicked Zeng Jingchu.
"Bang!" Zeng Jingchu was kicked down by Tian Jing at the doorway and fell.
Yulia had been looking up at the doorway. Seeing Zeng Jingchu fall, she immediately reached out to catch him.
"Move away!"
Tian Jing's warning came too late. Zeng Jingchu fell into Yulia's arms, and as they embraced, his gaping mouth bit onto Yulia's exposed collarbone.
"Hiss!"
Yulia cried out in pain and pushed Zeng Jingchu away. Zeng Jingchu had already closed his eyes and fainted. He was easily pushed away, but his exposed collarbone already had two rows of bleeding teeth marks.
Tian Jing frowned. "Yulia, I'll pull you up. You circulate your ability to expel the blood from the wound."
Yulia wanted to refuse, but seeing Tian Jing's serious expression, she nodded in agreement.
Tian Jing threw away the vines wrapped around Zeng Jingchu's hands, then threw out another vine to wrap around Yulia, pulling her up, and immediately urged her to circulate her ability quickly.
Yulia sat cross-legged in a corner of the rooftop. As soon as she circulated her ability, she felt her ability drop by one rank. What was this?
Tian Jing's urging continued, "Faster, the energy should only flow outwards from the wound. Don't circulate it throughout your body."
Tian Jing's voice made Yulia even more nervous. She followed Tian Jing's instructions and directed all her energy towards the wound.
Tian Jing stared at Yulia's wound. Soon, black blood flowed from the wound.
Tian Jing coldly commanded, "Continue!"
Only when Yulia's wound expelled bright red blood did Tian Jing slightly relax. "Zeng Jingrong, call the infirmary to come and bandage her."
"I've already called," Zeng Jingrong's heart was heavy.
Although he didn't know what Tian Jing had discovered, Tian Jing's expression was very serious. Jingchu's situation must be very severe.
A nurse from the infirmary arrived with a medical kit. Tian Jing pointed to Yulia's wound:
"Disinfect it thoroughly, bandage it carefully, come to change the dressing twice a day. If you notice any changes in the wound, notify us immediately."
The nurse, who had initially not paid much attention to the bite mark, became serious upon hearing Tian Jing's words. "Yes, I will observe it carefully."
The atmosphere was silent yet solemn.
After the nurse bandaged Yulia's wound and left, Tian Jing asked Yulia, "Would you like to change rooms?"
Yulia shook her head. "No, Jingchu can't leave the cell for now. We can keep each other company."
Tian Jing pondered. "Wait a moment. Let's see his condition after he wakes up before making a decision. Even if he returns to normal, I can't guarantee if he'll change over time."
"It's okay." Yulia didn't care at all. "As long as he's normal in the cell, I'll be with him."
The three of them waited in silence for the person below to wake up. It took more than an hour before Zeng Jingchu finally woke up.
He was very weak after waking up and couldn't move his body. "Yulia? Tiantian? Cousin?"
He called out to all three, but only Yulia and Zeng Jingrong responded.
Zeng Jingchu waited for Tian Jing's response, then asked, "Cousin, has Tiantian left? Is she very disappointed in me?"
"I haven't left," Tian Jing replied herself. "Zeng Jingchu, can you still remember what you were thinking when you came up?"
Zeng Jingchu's voice was very low. "I remember I wanted to bite someone. You were by my side. Did I bite you?"
"Why did you want to bite someone?"
"I couldn't control it."
"Do you still want to bite someone now?"
"No, I don't want to do anything now. My head feels like it's splitting into pieces."
Tian Jing looked at Yulia in silence. "You should still live in a separate room. We will send someone very strong to take care of Jingchu."
"No!" Yulia refused. "I want to take care of him myself. You can consider it my atonement to him."
"I can write a letter of disclaimer. If my life is taken by Jingchu, I won't blame anyone. This is my own choice."
With Yulia's insistence, Tian Jing let her go down.
Zeng Jingrong also jumped down, untied the vines from Zeng Jingchu's hands, and carried him to the bed.
Zeng Jingchu turned to face up and saw Tian Jing at the doorway of the rooftop. He smiled weakly. "Tiantian, cousin has asked Zeng Lin to stop the ten-year plan. I'm sorry."
Tian Jing shook her head. "I don't accept your apology. Your encounter with Yulia was also the result of me sending you out to find women."
"Just consider it fate. The grievances and karma are already too complicated to explain."
"You canceled your plan to turn Wuli Creek into stagnant water. Continue with the rest."
"In Ku Mountain, I've already let go. The scenic area belongs to the special team, which holds eighty percent."
"Cousin?" Zeng Jingchu couldn't turn his body, so he could only call out to Zeng Jingrong.
Zeng Jingrong walked to the bedside. "Tiantian is telling the truth. I'll call Zeng Lin again."
Zeng Jingchu was silent for a while before saying, "Have Elder Brother take over the Zeng family. I don't think I'll be able to get out."
Zeng Jingrong said, "I'll ask him to come see you. You two can discuss the specific outcome."
"I will send people to buy various small furniture to make this room more comfortable for you. Do you have any requests?"
"Just simple and cozy is fine."
"Okay."
Yulia added, "We need a big bed."
Zeng Jingrong's pronunciation was a little heavy. "Okay, I'll prepare it with a big bed."
Zeng Jingchu's face turned a little red.
Zeng Jingrong's mood suddenly lightened. "Jingchu, do you want to buy red bedsheets?"
"Buy them."
"Don't buy them."
Yulia said buy, Zeng Jingchu said don't buy.
"Hahaha." Zeng Jingrong laughed. "Buy a red set."
After the laughter ended, he became serious. "Jingchu, I've changed my surname."
Zeng Jingchu was stunned, then showed a bittersweet smile. "Mm, the Han family should be inherited."
Zeng Jingrong didn't mention that he had once called his uncle's wife. Let it be.
