”Then, can you give me a few days to think about it? I want to go back and see my mother and brother. In any case, under your supervision, our entire family is unable to escape, so you have nothing to worry about, right? ” Xia Li endured the disgust in his heart, maintaining the smile on his face, he discussed with Rich Man Yang.

In the next few days, you can stay here peacefully. Once you have thought things through, you can hand over the prescription and I will let you go free, and I will not disturb your family again in the future. Think things over carefully, or else, I will have a way to force you to hand over the prescription.

Rich Man Yang laughed wickedly, and rejected Xia Li unceremoniously.

Xia Li hid the anger in her eyes, looking at the dagger in the fifth brother's hand, she felt a strong sense of threat. Not long after she came out from Yang Xuechen's escort company, she was caught by the people of Rich Man Yang, could it be that they were all in the same group?

Xia Li's brows furrowed even more tightly, as he entered into an unprecedented state of anxiety. In anger, he pushed Ol 'Five aside and returned to his room on the second floor.

The fifth brother was not angry, seeing that Xia Li had left, he signaled for the people on both sides to immediately follow and guard the door of Xia Li's room, preventing her from escaping.

If he wanted to run, he couldn't run away, but could only stay in the room like this. When his mood was low, he couldn't help but think of Sun Chun.

She missed Sun Chun a lot now. What was he doing at this time, would he notice that she had disappeared and come to save her? She really was useless. The first time she came out to sell medicine, she was caught.

Three days later

Lee's brought Xia Qing to search through the entire Tianshui Village, and waited at the village's entrance for three days. However, they still did not find any trace of Xia Li, even when his eyes were swollen from crying, and Sun Chun had also disappeared within these two days.

She could not find any of these two people. She asked the entire village, but no one had ever seen them. She fell into an unprecedented state of despair.

”How is she? Has she given in?”

Rich Man Yang, who was playing with the thumb ring on his hand, looked at Ol 'Five who was standing at the side.

”In reply to grandpa, that girl, she refused to eat two days ago, so she's so hungry that she couldn't hold on any longer. Today she ate two bowls of rice consecutively and stayed in a daze for the rest of the time. She didn't say a single word about the prescription, and her mouth was very hard,” Ol 'Five said to Rich Man Yang.

”Master, we treated that little girl too well, she's hungry for two days and she knows that she'll starve to death if we starve her for a few days and nights straight. I think that it wouldn't take too much effort for her to admit her defeat, no matter how important the prescription is, how could her life be more important?”

”That makes sense. From today onwards, you are not allowed to give her even a single grain of rice, let's see how long she can last. Besides, her family is relying on her to survive. If she were to die, won't her weak mother, young brother, and the man who eats soft rice starve to death with her?”

When Rich Man Yang said till here, he patted the fifth brother's shoulder and praised him.

”Ol 'Five, work hard, and help me get this prescription. It's not without your help.”

”It's my honor to work hard for this grandpa.” The fifth brother knelt on the ground and took this opportunity to show his loyalty to Rich Man Yang again.

A trace of ridicule flashed past Rich Man Yang's eyes, he did not say much, but waved his hand to allow the fifth brother to retreat, he stared blankly at the room Xia Li was in, no matter what, he wanted to obtain the medicinal formula from the girl, it was a treasure bowl used to earn a lot of money.

Xia Li could not remember clearly, this was the day that she was hungry. Right now, her four limbs were weak, her face was pale, and she was not focused.

”How is she now?” The fifth brother stood at the door, looking at the brawny men on both sides.

”Go back to the fifth manager. This girl hasn't drunk a single mouthful of water or eaten a single grain of rice in three days. If she continues to stay hungry, there will be more deaths.” One of the boorish men said in a low voice.

”Get to the point, is Xia Li begging for mercy, about the prescription?” Ol 'Five could not be bothered about Xia Li's life and death. He only wanted to get the medicinal formula and give it to the Rich Man Yang to claim credit for.

”She was very quiet and didn't say anything.” The boorish man scratched his head and said with a slow reaction.
