The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Xu Yanze handed a cup of steaming water to Tao Zhi who was lying on the bed. The little rascal got on the bed and buried his big head in Tao Zhi's arms.

At this time, Tao Zhi was still wearing the hospital gown, and his face was pale and bloodless.

Xu Yanze did not ask, but sat quietly on the bench beside the bed, waiting for Tao Zhi to speak.

The heat from the cup warmed Tao Zhi's eyes, and the perfect temperature in his palms eased the mixed emotions in Tao Zhi's heart.

Tao Zhi cried all the way here. He really didn't know who to ask for help at this time. In the past, when he felt helpless and wanted to cry, Xu Yanze always accompanied him to drink and eat skewers.

By the time he reacted, he had already arrived at Xu Yanze's doorstep.

"Lao Xu." Tao Zhi's voice was hoarse.

"Yeah." Xu Yanze replied softly.

"Help me." Tao Zhi opened his eyebrows, and the redness at the corners of his eyes was obvious.

"What do you need me to do?" Xu Yanze asked.

"Let Gong Cheng come out of prison cleanly, and then send me in." Tao Zhi said.

There was a moment of ripples in Xu Yanze's eyes, and then they disappeared.

"Tao Zhi, you clearly know that I can't do it." Xu Yanze replied.

"You can do it. You are a genius. You are so smart. You can do anything as long as you want."

What's more, in the original text, you were the one who contributed to Tao Zhi's tragic ending all the way.

You pushed him into hell with your own hands.

"You must have a way, right?" Tao Zhi pleaded.

"He's just going to be in jail for a while. When he comes out, nothing will change, and he won't lose anything." Xu Yanze said with his eyes lowered.

"But he can't have any stain."

"He has to be clean all the time."

"Help me, Xu Yanze." Tao Zhi said.

Xu Yanze couldn't suppress his emotions after all, and sadness flowed from his eyes.

"Please."

Tao Zhi grabbed Xu Yanze's arm, as if it was his last straw.

Xu Yanze's eyes were red and he was silent for a few breaths.

"In fact, you know in your heart that there is a better solution, right?" Xu Yanze said.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

"No, I can't do that." Tao Zhi withdrew his hand.

"You don't want to hurt him, but you ask me to hurt you."

"Tao Zhi, don't be so cruel to me." Xu Yanze said.

Xu Yanze gently pushed away Tao Zhi's hand that was grabbing his arm, and the hurt look behind his gold-rimmed glasses could hardly be concealed.

Xu Yanze left the room, and Tao Zhi sat quietly for a long time. The little rascal in his arms hummed and rubbed his furry head against Tao Zhi's chest.

In the end, I have to deceive Gong Cheng again.

The conference site.

Tao Zhi stood under the spotlight on the podium, and the people below were holding microphones and cameras and making a lot of noise.

"Mr. Tao, are you organizing this press conference to directly tell the truth about the kidnapping case?"

"May I ask if Mr. Gong Cheng really kidnapped you and abused and violated you for a month?"

"Is it true that Mr. Tao, as rumored online, suffered from Stockholm syndrome after being kidnapped and now needs medication to stabilize his mood?"

"Mr. Tao, I learned through some channels that you kept saying that you were the kidnapper. Is there any hidden story behind this kidnapping?"

"May I ask if you and Mr. Gong have real feelings for each other? Or are you just seeking each other's favor and acting out your feelings?"

"Excuse me, were you and Mr. Gong controlling the direction of public opinion during the more than one month-long trending searches?"

"Mr. Gong has refused to answer any questions since he was arrested. What do you think about this?"

"There is news that you snatched the police's gun at the scene of the arrest and shot Mr. Gong. Do you really hate him that much?"

Questions came one after another, but Tao Zhi remained silent because he couldn't see anything clearly due to the constantly flashing cameras. Only the sharp questions could be heard.

Tao Zhi reached out and took the microphone off the stand, causing a buzzing sound. Everyone at the scene knew that Tao Zhi was about to speak, and they fell silent tacitly.

"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to this press conference."

"First, I will answer the question that everyone wants to know most, whether Gong Cheng kidnapped me."

"The answer is yes," said Tao Zhi.

As soon as Tao Zhi said this, everyone exclaimed and the sound of filming could be heard.

"But what I want everyone to know is that I was kidnapped voluntarily," said Tao Zhi.

As soon as Tao Zhi finished speaking, someone shouted to interrupt him.

"Mr. Tao, are you sure you are speaking in a sober state now? After all, your mental state is not stable." the reporter shouted.

Tao Zhi's gaze fell on the reporter who raised his hand.

"Is it so important whether you are sober or not? Liking someone is something that will make you lose your mind."

"From the first time I saw him until now, I have thrown my rationality aside for six years."

"We missed each other three years ago, and we met again three years later."

"But there are so many things standing between us: disputes, contradictions, lies, helplessness, and inability to control ourselves."

"We both know how much we love each other, but we can't express our love, so we have to hurt each other in clumsy ways."

"The hot search event on the Internet some time ago was actually my work."

"I love him, but I can't get him. I can only use this so-called promiscuous method to make him see me, want him to be jealous of me, and then his heart and eyes are full of me."

"I look forward to his possessiveness towards me, and I look forward to him letting go of his restraint and rationality for me."

"Finally, my wish came true. Thanks to my sting operation, he kidnapped me."

"I willingly put the collar on him and followed him into the small space that belonged only to the two of us."

"Every word he said, everything he did to me, made my heart beat fast."

"Or, this so-called kidnapping can be regarded as a hobby between us."

"If you insist on defining my love for him as coming from Stockholm, then perhaps I had already become his prisoner when he bought the engagement ring three years ago."

Tao Zhi took out a tattered ring box from his pocket. The box had long lost its elegance, and a corner of the lid was even broken when he opened it. There were two rings in the box.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed again.

"You heard it right. As early as three years ago, Gong Cheng proposed to me, and I accepted the rings."

"Although we haven't announced the news, we have already been each other's fiancés."

"This farce-like kidnapping case is actually just a melodramatic story of a wealthy family's abusive love affair that was consensual."

"During this one and a half months, he did not do anything to hurt me. The so-called signs of abuse and violation were just because we were deeply in love and couldn't help ourselves."

"I will now officially announce the marriage of Gong Cheng and I. We will get married soon, start a family, and stay together for the rest of our lives."

"He loves me deeply, and I am happy with it."

"If you don't understand our behavior, it may be because you are not from a wealthy family." Tao Zhi said regretfully.

The people in the audience were strangely silent for a long time, only the camera continued to film.

"Mr. Tao, you pulled the trigger at Gong Cheng. You wanted to kill him."

"Is this what you call love?" someone broke the silence.

Tao Zhi's eyebrows curved when he heard this. He didn't seem to be moved by the offensive question. Instead, he looked in a good mood.

"Don't you know clearly? I am a patient."

"In the midst of my insanity, my love grew, and I suddenly wanted to be brave for once."

"So I decided to kill him and then kill myself so we can be together forever."

"It's quite romantic to have their tombstones leaning against each other, isn't it?" Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Shock, excitement, cheering, the voices of the people in the audience were different, creating a noisy scene. Some people didn't even know what was wrong with them, they just became excited in the crowd.
