Chapter 115 Dr. Lei's Unwavering Will
"What? You know this person?" The man in black asked suspiciously when he saw Doctor Lei staring at the portrait for a long time.
Oh no, I'm afraid I'll give myself away!
Dr. Lei's mind had never worked so fast before. He revealed a lewd smile, "Hey, if only I knew him. Such a handsome young man, I really want to strip him naked and have some fun with him."
The man in black smelled a sour, foul odor emanating from Doctor Lei and instinctively took a half-step back. "You old pervert! If you see this, tell your manager not to get any funny ideas. This is the person our Li family wants."
Upon hearing the name "Li family," Dr. Lei's lecherous expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of deep regret. He exclaimed, "Alas, I should have known! Such a handsome young man would surely be coveted by those wealthy men; it would be a waste of my time!"
The man in black felt disgusted and didn't want to say anything more to Doctor Lei. "Just go to sleep! Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Dr. Lei has a peculiar trait: he can fall asleep as soon as he lies down. But this time, he can't sleep; he has to go and tell Lin Fan that the Li family is looking for him.
He couldn't sleep. He had to wait until the Li family left, then sneak out to find Lin Fan in the wetlands. He didn't even dare to open his eyes, afraid that the Li family would see that he was pretending to be asleep.
Dr. Lei remained resolute, closing his eyes and fighting off sleepiness; soon, he began to snore.
"Mom, I feel a little dizzy." Sun Ruolan gradually relaxed in the warm atmosphere of her home. Perhaps it was because of the fatigue of the journey that her tense nerves relaxed and a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
"Ruolan, go and rest if you're tired. We've always kept a room for you at home." The mother gently helped her daughter up.
"No, I, Adan, am still waiting for me."
Sun's mother's face turned cold, and she murmured, "As expected..."
Her expression immediately softened. "It's alright, daughter. You're at home, so relax and get some rest."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Sun's mother's eyes. "This parting may mean that my daughter and I will never see each other again in this lifetime."
Sun Ruolan looked at her mother and whispered, "Mother, I... I didn't..."
Sun Ruolan's body went limp, and her mother helped her to her bedroom.
"The carriage is so hard. Ah Dan, are you there? Let me lean on you for a bit." Sun Ruolan was half asleep. She had been sleeping in the carriage for the past few days, and it was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, she could always lean on her man and use his chest as a cushion to get a comfortable sleep.
The wooden board was so hard. Sun Ruolan's mechanical hands groped around, but she couldn't find that soft arm anywhere.
"Oh, Ruolan, it's been years since I last saw you. You've grown even more beautiful than before."
"You, who are you!"
Niu Dadan stared intently at Sun Ruolan's house with his bull-like eyes. He kept watching until dusk, when all the lights inside went out. He draped himself in an cloak of invisibility and circled the house again and again, but no one came out.
"No, nothing should happen. The yard isn't big, so it's impossible for someone to leave without my seeing them."
Niu Dadan's chest heaved slightly, and he could no longer hold back. "No, I have to go and see."
Niu Dadan stuffed the invisibility cloth into his clothes and strode to the front door.
Bang, bang, bang! They knocked on the door a few times, and the brass lock creaked and groaned.
"Drink!" Niu Dadan kicked open the door, revealing an empty, dimly lit room.
Sun's father rushed out with a hoe, but Niu Dadan didn't even glance at him and went straight to Sun Ruolan's room. Niu Dadan had sneaked in several times before and knew the location very well.
"You!" Sun's father shouted, "Where did this little thief come from, daring to come to my house!"
Niu Dadan kicked open the door. The empty room was dusty and cluttered with miscellaneous items. There was barely enough space for one person to lie down on the hard board bed without any bedding.
Following behind, Mr. Sun, Mrs. Sun, and the young couple came with lanterns. When Mr. Sun saw the firelight illuminating Niu Dadan's rugged face, which was distorted with anger, he exclaimed, "Li... no, you traitorous brat, what are you doing in my house?"
After saying that, Sun's father picked up the hoe and was about to hit Niu Dadan, but how could an old man be a match for a first-level martial artist? Niu Dadan grabbed the hoe, and Sun's father felt a strong force in his hand. The hoe was forcibly taken away, leaving a bloody mark on his hand.
Niu Dadan casually tossed the hoe aside, and it groaned as it hit the wall. "Old man, I'm asking you, where did Ruolan go?"
Mr. Sun was stunned and speechless for a moment. Mrs. Sun quickly stepped forward and cursed, "You heartless bastard! My daughter was enjoying a good life as a concubine in the rich man's house. You must have bewitched her. Now you come to ask us? Who knows where you took my poor daughter?"
As Sun's mother spoke, tears streamed down her face again. Every word she uttered was so sincere that it made everyone who heard it feel sorry for her.
Niu Dadan wasn't buying it at all and started searching the room. The four of them then launched into a tirade of vicious curses at Niu Dadan, but none of them dared to actually lay a hand on him.
Boom!
Niu Dadan pushed aside a pile of debris, revealing a hole in the floor. Seeing this, Niu Dadan's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly jumped down into the hole, only to find that half his body had already entered before the hole was sealed shut with sand, leaving no way forward.
Niu Dadan jumped out of the cave, muttering, "It's Li Jinsheng! That beast!"
He glared angrily at the Sun family of four, "You, you've already sold your daughter once, how dare you do such a heinous thing again?"
Just as Sun's mother was about to argue further, Sun's father couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first, "She is my daughter, whom I gave birth to and raised. I can give her to whomever I want. Who told her she's a girl and can't carry on the Sun family line? What's wrong with exchanging her for some cash? Li Ben, if you ask me, you're the most foolish one. You're the only one in the world who treats this money-losing girl like a treasure, and you're even willing to give up being a young master for her sake!"
Enraged, Niu Dadan grabbed Sun's father by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and his fist, as big as a sandbag, was about to land. That punch would likely kill the old man on the spot.
While saying kind words, Sun's mother ran up to try to stop Niu Dadan.
Although Mr. Sun was terrified, he calmed down and chuckled, "Come on, kid, kill me, or better yet, kill my whole family. No matter what, I'm still the father of your precious good-for-nothing. If you kill us, how will you face her again? Let me tell you the truth, your good-for-nothing has been taken away by the Li family. If you want to find her, go back to your own family. Now, come on! Come and kill me!"
Sun Ruolan's younger brother also picked up a hoe and threatened Niu Dadan.
Niu Dadan's chest heaved slightly. This old man, woman, and tuberculosis-ridden man combined were no match for him with just one hand...
Bang! Niu Dadan punched the wall, sending plaster flying. Sun's father's legs went weak and he could barely stand.
Niu Dadan threw the old man to the ground and stormed out the door.
Sun's mother quickly came over to support the old man, "Why are you provoking him? We'll deny it to the death, what can he do? If he acts impulsively, he might really kill us!"
Sun's father, his legs too weak to stand, simply sat on the ground, chuckling lightly and nonchalantly, "Old woman, you're just too cautious. What's there to be afraid of? This boy is obsessed with Ruolan, how dare he lay a finger on us? What are you afraid of? Haha, hahahaha!"
Mr. Sun had always been humble and subservient, never daring to offend anyone, and had never felt so at ease. A man like him, constantly suppressed by those above him, never dared to utter a peep of resentment towards the Li family or the government. The thought that this man had once been the young master of the Li family only intensified his suffering.
Today, I finally got my revenge!
Niu Dadan ran outside, but looked around blankly, not knowing where to go. Going to the Li family would be useless; he knew their power best—even a god descending to earth wouldn't gain any advantage. Fighting them head-on would be like throwing an egg against a rock, yielding no benefit whatsoever.
Niu Dadan spun around in place a few times, and suddenly a person came to mind: Lin Fan. Yes, he could only ask Brother Lin for help. For Ruolan's sake, he was willing to serve Lin Fan like a slave for the rest of his life.
