I show off in the gradient game

Chapter 48 No Survivors 48
In front of those with interests, cheap family affection can never compare to the power and money filled with desire.

In the earl's eyes, Alice was not his daughter, but more like a mascot he kept in captivity on the Golden Mountain to demonstrate his power.

She had nothing but money, and even her qualifications for life and freedom were in the hands of the count.

"I'm going to find Brother Ling, Xiao Li, please go with me." Xiaoxue's eyes were as red as a rabbit.

She hugged Yi Li and walked out the door.

Strangely enough, except for the servants who suddenly appeared when Xiaoxue finished eating and was getting ready to go to bed, this huge castle was empty at other times, and there was not a trace of a servant.

The huge castle is bright and transparent, but it can't hide the loneliness and coldness inside.

The gorgeous corridor is more cold and eerie.

She knocked on the mother's door with bare feet.

"Brother Ling, are you asleep?"

The door is opened.

Zero stood behind the door, looking down at Xiaoxue, who was a head shorter than him: "No, aren't you going to bed now?"

Xiaoxue hugged the doll and looked up at the beautiful Zero: "I just read a story. It was so scary that I couldn't sleep."

Ling paused and stepped aside to make a way: "Come in."

"Okay!" Xiaoxue laughed, like a snow dumpling, which looked sweet.

Yili has no resistance to cute things, and she feels like her heart has been transformed by cuteness.

Such a simple and well-behaved cub has no resistance to her.

But the next second, Yi Li couldn't transform.

The scene inside the house was extremely bloody.

The servants who had appeared in front of them just now were piled in the corner of the room like a ball of meat.

Including Xiaoxue's gentle and loving father just now.

clack.

Yi Li was let go by Xiaoxue and fell to the ground.

"Sister Xiaoxue, have you discovered me?"

The mother's cold voice sounded behind them.

Through the light, Yi Li saw the original shape of the eighteen heads.

Just when she was about to receive a critical hit, her vision went dark again.

A dark, damp, and cold feeling swept through her body.

"Dr. Fang Xin, please forgive me."

Li Jue patted Fang Xin's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"It's all those damn robbers. If it weren't for them, nothing would have happened to my husband and children." Fang Xin's voice was full of pain and resentment.

"Dr. Fang Xin, those robbers have been shot dead by the police on the spot. It can be regarded as evil retribution. Your husband and children will feel sorry for you if they know that you are in such pain. Our laboratory still needs you, please be sure cheer up."

The male colleague next to him quickly came over to help Li Jue comfort Fang Xin.

"That's enough, stop talking." Fang Xin picked up Xiaoxue's favorite rabbit doll and said in a dull and sad voice, "I want to be alone for a while."

"Okay, Dr. Fang Xin."

Fang Xin turned her back to them and left, but Yi Li could see them all staring at Fang Xin, like hungry wild dogs seeing a fragrant meat bone.

Yi Li remembered the contents of Fang Xin's diary.

There's a good chance they'd have been replaced by that thing a long time ago.

Li Jue is no longer the original Li Jue, and they are no longer the same people.Fang Xin's lost family members have now become meat on the chopping board.

As the scene changed, she was placed on the office chair by Fang Xin.

"Dr. Fang Xin still hasn't forgotten Xiaoxue and keeps her doll with him."

"Yes, it has been three years since that incident, and Fang Xin is still unwilling to accept new love. It's a pity."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, Dr. Fang Xin is coming in soon."

The resolute Fang Xin walked in on her high heels. She looked at the researchers who had been waiting for a long time and said in a cold voice: "How can you still have time to gossip about other people when you are so messed up with data? It's better to gossip than you do when you have this time. Spend more energy on getting the data in hand.”

Several researchers immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

After being criticized and educated for an hour by Fang Xin, he was released.

Even Yi Li was frightened by Fang Xin's look of wanting to eat people, and was forced to experience a high-pressure training session.

Fang Xin picked her up and sat on a chair. She looked at her with tender eyes mixed with a bit of sadness and pain: "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, it was my mother who failed to protect you."

"If you knew the truth, would you forgive your mother's selfishness? It was your mother who was too confident and thought she was doing you a favor by sending you away. Unexpectedly, I was the executioner who pushed you into the abyss."

Warm tears fell on her body.

Yili felt the regret and pain of a mother.

"Mom shouldn't be confident enough to provoke that thing, let alone pull you into the water. If I weren't your mother, you wouldn't have died at that ignorant age. It's your mother's fault."

Fang Xin gently combed the doll's hair, which had begun to fade and become old. Its eyes were still red and pure, reflecting the woman's vicissitudes of life and tired face.

Knock knock knock!
The door was knocked.

"Dr. Fang Xin, is it convenient now?"

It's Li Jue.

Fang Xin quickly wiped away her tears, hiding the pain and fragility in her heart, and returned to the majestic and oppressive Dr. Fang Xin that people were afraid to look at before: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Li Jue, wearing researcher uniform and holding several data books in his hands, walked in: "Dr. Fang Xin, I have some data here that I need you to review and sign."

"Leave it here."

Fang Xin's voice was cold.

Li Jue placed the data on Fang Xin's desk, but refused to leave.

"Is there anything else?"

Fang Xin picked up a book of data and glanced up at Li Jue.

Li Jue took out an invitation letter from his bag and handed it to Fang Xin: "Dr. Fang Xin, Dr. Tru would like to invite you to a ten-day carnival to relax your body and mind."

"Retreat for me." Fang Xin said coldly while flipping through the data sheet: "I don't have so much time to do those meaningless things."

"But... Dr. Tru said that if you don't go, our experimental funding supply will be cut off." Li Jue looked at Fang Xin hesitantly: "You know, since your husband passed away, what has been left behind The inheritance is not very large, and our experimental funding supply has also become..."

Li Jue didn't finish speaking.

But Fang Xin knew what Li Jue wanted to express.

Fang Xin put down the data sheet and thought of the mess her husband suffered after his death.

There was no will, leaving only a group of wolf-hearted descendants to divide up this huge family inheritance like a pack of vicious wolves.

Apart from experiments, she is not good at dealing with these intrigues and dirty things.

After being repeatedly calculated by those people, although the amount of inheritance she obtained was considerable, it was indeed very difficult to run this huge laboratory.

She also had to rely on investment from other family groups.

Now, Tohru has grasped her weak point and knows what to do to make her willingly obey.
