After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Be My Slave

Song Yuceng dragged Tao Ning directly out of the club. Tao Ning wanted to struggle, but because of the fight between the two of them just now, he was too scared to react. His head was buzzing, and he also noticed that Song Yuceng’s hand was trembling abnormally.

There were still traces of blood on his face. His forehead was bruised, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His handsome face was distorted, and there was no trace of his usual arrogant look.

But even so, Song Yuceng didn’t let go of Tao Ning’s hand. Tao Ning couldn’t break free and was also worried that his struggle would further escalate the conflict, so he simply gave up.

Outside, there was a stretched Lincoln. Many people who wanted to enter Lan Jin but were not qualified were gathered around the car. As soon as they saw Song Yuceng and Tao Ning being surrounded by people and coming out, they rushed over.

“Second Young Master, are you okay?”

“Second Young Master, get in the car quickly!”

“Who’s so bold…”

The many genuine or fake greetings made Song Yuceng’s head hurt. He shoved Tao Ning into the car, cursed “get out,” and then told the driver to drive to a private hospital.

In the car, Song Yuceng’s whole body was trembling much less than before. Someone next to him was treating his wounds. Tao Ning sat in the corner, his face pale, and said: “…Where are you taking Xu Jun?”

It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned that name, but as soon as he mentioned the words “Xu Jun,” Song Yuceng was about to explode.

This country bumpkin kept mentioning “Xu Jun,” and that bastard had the nerve to hit him for no reason. Song Yuceng was fuming, and a furious jealousy surged up like a overturned vinegar jar. He immediately scowled. But the movement was too big and pulled at his wound. His ferocious expression suddenly looked a little grimacing: “I’ll chop him up and throw him in the sea to feed the fish.”

Someone next to him saw Song Yuceng’s different attitude toward Tao Ning. He was quick-witted and immediately came out to curry favor: “We will never let go of anyone who dares to hurt the second young master! The Song family will hire the most professional lawyers to sue Xu Jun and then use some means to sentence him to three or four years and send him to prison to teach him to be a little more honest, so that Xu Jun will never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life!”

Song Yuceng was unhappy: “Do you have to butt in here? Get out.”

He tried to be clever and ended up in a worse situation. The driver pulled over to the side of the road. The man wiped his sweat and quickly got out of the car.

Throwing him in the sea to feed the fish was obviously something Song Yuceng said in a fit of rage. Tao Ning was used to him not saying many nice things, but this person said he would send Xu Jun to prison, which for an ordinary person was a stain that could never be erased for the rest of their life. What’s more, Xu Jun was only an eighteen-year-old student. If he were really sentenced, his life would be unimaginable.

Tao Ning’s face was even paler than before, and his mind was a mess. His only thought was that he must not let Xu Jun go to prison. He had to stop Song Yuceng.

In addition, the system had discussed with him in detail about not being discovered for targeting them all at the same time. Tao Ning quickly calmed down and said hesitantly: “Can you… let him go?”

Tao Ning used all the acting skills he had. He pretended not to care about Xu Jun’s whereabouts. Song Yuceng didn’t see through him, and his expression wasn’t as bad, but he still scowled: “Don’t even think about it.”

“N-No.” Anticipating being rejected, Tao Ning lowered his head, tugging at the corner of his clothes in nervousness. He said hesitantly: “He… he’s my lifesaver.”

“Lifesaver?” Song Yuceng narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that what the system said was true. He was now “lying all the time.” Tao Ning was not as flustered as the first time he lied, and he was facing the very stupid Song Yuceng. Lying… he probably wouldn’t be able to see through it.

So Tao Ning raised his head, his thick eyelashes blinking. “Because I fainted in the dorm from not taking my medicine, I almost died. It was Xu Jun who found me and took me to the hospital… so… he’s my lifesaver. Did you see the medicine on the ground just now? He actually came to bring me medicine.”

Thinking of the dozen crushed pills, Tao Ning’s heart ached slightly, not only because the medicine was expensive, but also because of Xu Jun’s gaze before he left.

He wouldn’t let Xu Jun go to prison.

Song Yuceng’s expression was unpredictable. He knew that there was something wrong with Tao Ning’s eyes and that he was taking medicine. Tao Ning couldn’t tell if he believed him or not. The next second, he heard Song Yuceng ask: “You didn’t seduce him?”

The corner of Tao Ning’s mouth twitched: “…No.”

Song Yuceng crossed his arms and snorted coldly: “Then why did he rush over?”

Tao Ning hadn’t figured out this question either, so he told the truth: “Because you were kissing me, and he thought you were bullying…”

“Who kissed you?!” Song Yuceng’s attention was completely on Tao Ning’s “kiss.” He interrupted him fiercely, as if the person who had just been obsessively grabbing and kissing Tao Ning was someone else. “I’m warning you, country bumpkin, if you dare to say this, I’ll make you suffer.”

Tao Ning: “…Okay, I won’t say it.”

Hearing this, Song Yuceng’s face became even uglier and darker, but he held his breath and didn’t say anything more.

Tao Ning shifted the topic back to his goal. He was actually doing this purely based on instinct. He felt that Song Yuceng seemed to like him a little, because it was too obvious. He even kissed him… The reason he didn’t like Xu Jun was probably because he was afraid that he and Xu Jun had a relationship other than friendship.

But Xu Jun only saw him as a friend… and he hadn’t officially targeted him yet. What kind of relationship could they have? Song Yuceng was really stupid. But when did he even start targeting Song Yuceng?

Tao Ning couldn’t figure these things out. After analyzing it, he said: “So can you please let go of… my lifesaver? If you want revenge… please take revenge on me.”

But… it would be even better if he didn’t take revenge on anyone.

Song Yuceng’s gaze was ferocious: “Country bumpkin, you said all that just to make me let go of Xu Jun?”

He should like me. He should like me. Tao Ning suddenly became self-taught and said haltingly: “No, it’s because I… I don’t want to owe Xu Jun anything… If you send him to prison this time, what I owe him… I’ll never be able to repay it.”

As soon as this reason came out, Song Yuceng’s expression was obviously not as bad. He raised his chin: “I can not send Xu Jun to prison, but he must pay a high medical fee.” He snorted coldly. “Otherwise, he’ll never be able to step out of prison for the rest of his life.”

He succeeded! Tao Ning let out a sigh of relief. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his palms. Paying money was better than going to jail.

Song Yuceng’s fierce gaze was fixed on Tao Ning’s beautiful, pale face. His eyes were obviously contemptuous and disdainful, but deep down, they were like they were staring at his most beloved toy, refusing to move away. He snorted again: “You sure know how to repay a kindness.”

Tao Ning: “…”

“It’s one thing for Xu Jun to give money. It’s another thing whether I want it or not. Don’t you know? The one thing I, Song Yuceng, am not short of is money.”

Tao Ning: “…?”

The light in the car was dim. Song Yuceng suddenly stood up and approached Tao Ning, who was huddled in the corner. His handsome face, which was a mix of blue and purple, was inches away. Tao Ning didn’t know if Song Yuceng was even aware of it, but he was trying to put on a charming and cool expression, yet his face was stiff. The bruised areas were wrinkling up, making him look like a scary NPC from a horror movie who had painted his face.

Song Yuceng was completely unaware. He lowered his head, crossed his arms, and with one set of movements, Tao Ning’s expression was blank. He heard Song Yuceng threaten him: “Don’t you like to repay kindness? Then you can use yourself to repay it.”

“…How do I repay you?”

“Hmph, be my slave. You’ll do whatever I tell you to do. If I tell you to go east, you can’t go west. You can only listen to me and be my slave alone. Until my wounds are completely healed.”

The slavery system in China had been abolished thousands of years ago. Tao Ning realized that Song Yuceng was not only terrible at math but also at history. The corner of his mouth twitched. To prevent Xu Jun from being harmed, he temporarily endured Song Yuceng’s absurd ‘unequal treaty’: “I agree.”

Song Yuceng was unhappy again: “You agreed so quickly? Is it because repaying kindness is fake, and saving him is real?”

Tao Ning was silent. He had never met anyone more difficult to deal with than Song Yuceng. He used the same energy he used to coax Tao Yuan and Xiaomeng. He shook his head and tried hard to soften his voice: “No… It’s because, because I want to be with you, so… so I’m willing to be your…”

Tao Ning found the word “slave” too difficult to say and mumbled it.

As expected, Song Yuceng’s gloomy mood was instantly swept away. The corners of his mouth, which were turned up, were almost impossible to hold back. His hand, which had been trembling slightly just now, didn’t tremble anymore. The tips of his ears even turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He snorted: “That’s smart of you.”

Tao Ning said: “But I still have to go to class on time.”

“What class does a slave need to go to? You’re not allowed.”

Tao Ning said: “…Then I won’t do it.”

“How dare you?!”

“…………”

Song Yuceng’s face became gloomy again: “You’ll take classes at home with me.”

“Then I still have to take my medicine.”

“I’ll have Gao Yu deliver it to you… What do you need to take so much medicine for an eye disease for?”

“It’s not an eye disease.” Tao Ning thought for a moment and explained in the simplest and most understandable language to the very stupid second young master Song: “I have a disease where I can’t produce blood cells normally. If I have a wound, the bleeding won’t stop, so I have to take a lot of medicine to control the condition.”

Hearing this, Song Yuceng frowned. He naturally understood the seriousness of these simple words. He no longer had his arrogant, unreasonable, and rude demeanor from just now. He scowled and said after a moment: “If you die, I’ll have one less slave, and that would be a huge loss, hmph… You’ll be honest and come with me to the hospital later.”

Tao Ning shook his head: “It’s no use. I need a bone marrow transplant… I was a child my family picked up, so the probability of finding a match is very low.”

What’s more, he didn’t have money. The doctor had regretfully told Tao Ning at that time that if he had a direct relative, there would be a good chance of finding a matching bone marrow, but he wasn’t a biological child of the Tao family. He was picked up many years ago when he was still a baby. After ruling them out, there was currently no bone marrow that matched Tao Ning in the country.

Every year, millions of people in China need a bone marrow transplant. And a donor is not something you can just find anywhere. The probability of finding a match is incredibly slim…

Tao Ning lowered his head and fell silent.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy. Song Yuceng scowled and told the driver to drive to a private hospital. After arriving, he didn’t go to check his own wounds first. Instead, he dragged Tao Ning to get a full body check-up.

After seeing Tao Ning enter the examination room with his own eyes, Song Yuceng was satisfied. He immediately went to another examination room. He said to the doctor with a cold expression: “Draw a tube of my blood and see if it can be a match for that country bumpkin.”

The doctor had been working at this private hospital, which was dedicated to treating people from the Song family, for more than ten years. He knew many of the Song family’s secrets. He asked with some hesitation: “But… Young Master, your body…”

“I said draw it. Why so much nonsense?” Song Yuceng looked impatient.

To perform a bone marrow extraction, one must first be injected with a drug to gather the hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood. The doctor knew he had said too much. It wasn’t a small fry like him who could advise the master. He took out a syringe with a specific drug and a blood collection device, and prepared the cotton swabs and iodine for blood collection. Then he said: “Second Young Master, please pull your sleeve up to your shoulder.”

Everyone outside the Song family knew that no matter the season, the second young master of the Song family always wore long sleeves and long pants. No one knew why, and no one dared to ask Song Yuceng.
