The familiar alarm bell rang.

I struggled to hold Ning Wenyan's head and moved him onto my lap.

I brought my lips close to his ear and deliberately slowed down my speech, whispering, "Brother, do you know? I made a deal with Xue Ye."

"I told him that I would do my best to help him solve the stone. For every 50 million earned, I would disable one of your hands or legs."

"Brother, as you know, I have X-ray vision, so I easily earned four billion for him."

"Of course, you must be wondering, you only have two hands and two legs, so what happened to the other two billion?"

"It was me. I spent two billion to buy your eyes and feed them to the dogs. The little dog liked them very much."

After I finished speaking, I watched his body twitching more and more violently, making urgent gasping sounds, and eventually fainting completely.

I moved his head away from my lap, let go, stood up, and let Ning Wenyan's head hit the marble floor heavily, making a thumping sound.

The sound of the door breaking came crashing in as the police rushed in.

"Don't move!"

"Xiao Ning!"

I fell into darkness with a sense of relief.

The sound of instruments ticking filled my ears.

"Ning Wenyun in bed number 47 has woken up!" A hurried voice approached and then receded.

I opened my eyes and saw a vast expanse of white, very familiar.

"Quick, notify the police!"

It was the same room with the same people again. A female police officer sat across from me with a serious expression and asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

"I remember."

"Now we will start recording your statement, please cooperate and answer truthfully."

"Do you know Xue Li?"

"I know him. I heard before that he has several shops on Jade Street, and everyone says he's an underground boss."

"What's your relationship with him? Any grievances? How did he kidnap you?"

Here's the key point, and I became alert.

"I didn't know him before. It was only a week ago, after I was discharged from the hospital, that I went to Jade Street to gamble on stones and met him for the first time. After that, he kidnapped me and asked me to gamble for him. Otherwise, he would make things difficult for us. But I helped him gamble, and he said I knew too much, so he beat me half to death. After that, I don't remember anything."

The female police officer nodded and said to me, "Thank you for your honesty. Get some rest."

"Hello, I would like to ask about Ning Wenyan, my brother. How is he?"

Her expression showed some reluctance. "He's in the ICU."
