CEO Overlord Love: Contract Lover

"Oh," the woman replied with a sneer, "I never thought about committing suicide. It's better than being tortured like this! But, but..." The woman's voice choked up suddenly when she said this. Go on.

"But what?" Mengyao couldn't help asking her.

The woman hesitated for tens of seconds, and then she calmed down before continuing to answer, "The first time I wanted to commit suicide, he soon found out. He was very angry and locked me up here. And they fed me all kinds of refined medicine day and night, making my life worse than death, but it's hard to control myself!"

"What?" Mengyao's face gradually turned pale, and she continued to ask the woman, "You mean that if Zhou Xuan finds out that I want to commit suicide, it will also annoy Zhou Xuan, maybe Zhou Xuan will like you Same for me, right?"

"That's right." The woman replied in an affirmative tone, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "When he forces you to take those unknown drugs, you will find that although you are still sane, your body can't move except for your hands. , the rest of the place seems to be frozen, making it difficult to move, and occasionally you will feel as if your body is covered in ice, making your life worse than death!"

When Mengyao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and she also instantly understood why she always heard that woman's scream.

It seemed that the woman must have had a sudden effect of the drug, freezing her whole body, so she couldn't bear the pain, and that's why she screamed so miserable.

When Mengyao thought of this level, she somehow sympathized with that woman, but more worried about her future.

If she was stopped by Zhou Xuan when she committed suicide, and Zhou Xuan trapped her by her side like he trapped that woman, then what should I do? Wouldn't her life be worse than death every day?

The more Mengyao thought about it, the paler her complexion became, and her body became weaker and weaker, and finally she fell directly to the ground.

Her actions obviously alarmed the woman, who laughed a few times, "Hahaha! Are you scared!"

Mengyao froze for a moment, turned her head to look at her, and answered truthfully: "Yes, I am indeed afraid. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that life is better than death."

"That's not necessarily the case, I can help you! I can help you!" The woman said to her suddenly excitedly.

"You help me? What are you helping me for?" Mengyao asked the woman in disbelief.

"I can kill him for you!" the woman said to her in a mysterious tone.

"What?" Mengyao blinked in disbelief, and asked her back, "You are like this now, how can you help me kill him?"

"Hahaha! Do you think he is willing to spare my life until now! It's just because he still has something in my hands!" the woman said excitedly.

"The handle? What is the handle?" Mengyao asked her confusedly.

The woman suddenly sighed, and then planned to tell Mengyao the whole story.

"Zhou Xuan and I were originally brothers and sisters. We studied pharmacological research together with our father since we were young. Everything seemed harmonious at first, but when rights were integrated into family ties, we always had to make some sacrifices. Back then, in order to monopolize a I betrayed him in a business deal, I thought he would die, but unexpectedly he escaped from death and came back to take revenge on me!"

"At the beginning, he even wanted to kill me, but at that time I still had a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors. In order to get that secret recipe, he trapped me in this ancient house and wanted me to hand it over. , but I would rather die, and even thought about committing suicide, but he found out and was trapped here!"

The woman spoke a few words about her relationship with Zhou Xuan.

Although Mengyao couldn't hear the meaning clearly, she could guess the general idea.

Undoubtedly, that woman betrayed Zhou Xuan for profit, and Zhou Xuan didn't directly kill the woman in order to get the ancestral secret recipe, trapped her here and tortured her day and night, trying to force her to hand over the secret recipe.

Mengyao sorted out the whole matter in her heart, but she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong between them, and she didn't want to interfere in their affairs.

Mengyao directly asked the woman: "Then what does that secret recipe have to do with whether you can kill Zhou Xuan? And why do you want to help you?"

"Of course that secret recipe can't kill him, but there is a special medicinal powder in the secret recipe, as long as it is sprinkled in the air, within a minute, everyone in the house will definitely die!"

"What? There is such a thing in this world?" Mengyao asked in disbelief.

"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to help me find the secret recipe and hand it over to me!"

"Find that secret recipe? I'm trapped here myself, how can I escape to find that secret recipe?" Mengyao asked in confusion.

"No, you don't need to escape, because the secret recipe is here!" The woman suddenly said to her excitedly.

"It's right here?" Mengyao blinked her eyes in disbelief, and then asked her, "Where is that, let me help you find it?"

"It's in the corner by the wall. You can find it by digging up the soil, about one meter deep." The woman said to her in an affirmative tone.

"Okay, I'll help you find it now." Mengyao quickly replied, and then planned to walk over, but when she got up, she hesitated.

She bit her lips hesitantly, and finally asked the question that was suppressed deep in her heart, "Why did you help me?"

"Why? I live in such pain, I might as well die together with Zhou Xuan! As for why I let you live, it's because I still have something to ask of you."

"What? Please?" Mengyao asked her in disbelief.

"Hmm." The woman's voice suddenly became hoarse when she said this.

She hesitated for tens of seconds before continuing, "You'll know when you go to the wall and have a look."

Mengyao was confused, but in the end she got up and walked towards the wall.

But when she was walking, she suddenly felt as if she had kicked something soft.

She froze for a moment, instinctively squatted down on the ground, touched it, only to realize that it was a baby!

"You?" Mengyao turned around in shock and asked the woman, "Is that your child?"

"That's right." The woman nodded affirmatively, "The reward I want for saving you is that you take her away and raise her as her mother!"

"What?" Mengyao looked at the woman in shock, as if she couldn't believe her words.

At this time, a few light footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

After Mengyao heard it, she didn't even care about the shock, her complexion turned pale in an instant.

"Quick! He's back! Quick!" the woman ordered excitedly.

Mengyao nodded quickly, and then quickly crawled towards the corner of the wall.

Since the soil had been vacant for too long, it became a bit stiff, and she scratched her hands unconsciously when she rummaged through it.

But now that the situation was urgent, she didn't even care about the wound, and kept digging down, trying to find those so-called medicines.

In the end, the sky finally paid her off, and when the footsteps got closer, she found the box of medicine-like bottles.

"Is it this?" Meng Yao lowered her voice and asked the woman.

"That's right, this is the only one! Quick! Give it to me!" the woman whispered excitedly.

"Okay!" Mengyao hurriedly nodded her head in agreement, then habitually picked up the child next to her, and stumbled towards the woman.
