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

Tao Zhi came down at noon.

"Butler, has Gong Cheng returned?" Tao Zhi asked.

"No, sir," the butler replied.

Tao Zhi scratched his head impatiently, making his already unsightly hair even more messy, then he went back to his room cursing and slammed the door.

"Why did you take so long to come back?"

"What classmate wants to go to the library with me? I've never seen him say he was going to the library before?"

"Is there no place for him to learn at home? He has to go out to learn."

"Who is this classmate? Could it be Lin Xiaogong?"

"Or have you met some new Zhang Xiaogong or Wang Xiaogong or something?"

"I guess he's chatting and laughing with that classmate now."

"I'm your sponsor, aren't you? You don't even have any self-awareness. You don't stay at home with me, your sponsor, on Sundays, but go out on a date with other people."

"Isn't it just a few harsh words to him? Is it necessary to give me a cold shoulder this morning?"

The more Tao Zhi thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable he felt. He picked up a pillow and threw it at the end of the bed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Tao Zhi suddenly sat up, feeling inexplicably nervous. Is Gong Cheng back?

"Come in." Tao Zhi said calmly.

The door was opened and the butler came in. Tao Zhi was inexplicably disappointed, but he still pretended to speak seriously.

"What's the matter?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Sir, Mr. Gong's mother had an accident. The hospital contacted me and said that Ms. Li specifically wants to see you now." said the housekeeper.

Tao Zhi immediately got up from the bed.

"What's wrong? Has the condition worsened?" Tao Zhi asked anxiously.

"No, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building," said the butler.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, his heart sank, and he immediately went to the closet, picked up a set of clothes and started changing.

"Go prepare the car. I'll go right over and ask the hospital to keep her stable."

"Also, if Gong Cheng comes back, don't tell him about this."

Tao Zhi hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out, got in the car and drove immediately to the hospital.

Just a few hours ago.

Taoci said hello to Li Yunrong and went to take a follow-up X-ray. As soon as he left, Lin Xiaogong entered the ward.

"Hello, Auntie. Long time no see." Lin Xiaogong smiled and put the fruit in his hand on the cabinet next to the bed.

"Xiao Lin, I'm really happy that you still care about me and come to see me." Li Yunrong grabbed Lin Xiaogong's hand and patted it gently.

"After Aunt changed hospitals, I actually always wanted to come and see her, but I had some minor conflicts with Xiaocheng. Now Xiaocheng doesn't want to pay attention to me, so I feel embarrassed to come and disturb her." Lin Xiaogong looked aggrieved.

Li Yunrong was a little surprised when she heard this. The two children grew up together and she had never seen them have any conflicts. Why would they suddenly become upset?

"Xiao Lin, what happened? Can you tell your aunt? My Xiaocheng has a stubborn temper and sometimes gets stuck on trivial matters. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?" Li Yunrong asked.

Lin Xiaogong had tears in her eyes and looked pitiful.

"It has nothing to do with Xiaocheng. It's all my fault. I got mad at Xiaocheng, but I was doing it for his own good."

"If I had known that I would have a conflict with him, I should not have agreed to let him work part-time in the club." Lin Xiaogong said.

Li Yunrong was stunned when he heard this.

"Club? What do you mean? Doesn't Xiaocheng work part-time in a restaurant?" Li Yunrong asked.

Lin Xiaogong covered his mouth with his hand, showing a panic expression.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said. I promised Xiaocheng that I wouldn't tell you about this." Lin Xiaogong said.

Li Yunrong held Lin Xiaogong's hand tightly and frowned.

"Xiao Lin, is the club you are talking about the entertainment venue where rich people go to drink and have fun?" Li Yunrong asked.

Lin Xiaogong looked conflicted, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Auntie, since you already know it, I can't continue lying to you. Xiaocheng used to work as a hostess in the club to earn money for your medical expenses." Lin Xiaogong said.

Li Yunrong was stunned, with sadness in his eyes.

"Then what? What's the connection between this and the conflict you had?" Li Yunrong asked.

Lin Xiaogong's eyes turned red, and he finally spoke after hesitating.

"Xiao Cheng works as a hostess in a club. There are all kinds of people there, and many of the bosses have dirty hands. Xiao Cheng can only endure it."

"I originally thought Xiaocheng was just a drinking companion, but I didn't expect that he would want to take shortcuts and hook up with rich bosses to make quick money." Lin Xiaogong said with a sob.

Li Yunrong suddenly felt like she had forgotten how to breathe, and there was only a ringing in her ears, but she still had to force herself to stay awake.

"Go on." Li Yunrong said.

"The first time I found out, I got mad at Xiao Cheng and advised him not to do this again. He promised, but soon he went with the boss for the second time just for the money."

"I couldn't bear to see Xiaocheng fall into such depravity, so I went to find him again and persuaded him to turn back from his wrong path. He agreed, but I should have thought that Xiaocheng had already experienced the ease of making quick money, so how could he be willing to go back to being a hostess?"

"When I went to find Xiaocheng again, he had already packed his luggage and said he wanted to move to the boss's house and be kept as his mistress. The condition was that he arranged hospital treatment for you, my aunt." Lin Xiaogong said.

Li Yunrong felt her vision blurry and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"That boss's surname is Tao?" Li Yunrong asked with a sob.

Lin Xiaogong nodded.

"Yes, his name is Tao Zhi. He is a frequent visitor to the club. He is a notorious bad guy who loves to torture people, regardless of gender. Everyone who comes across him leaves with injuries all over their body."

"I really can't imagine what kind of things a weak person like Xiaocheng would encounter if she stayed by his side every day."

"Every time I met Xiao Cheng at school, he was covered in wounds and looked extremely weak. When I tried to persuade him, he always told me not to interfere. Later, he simply ignored me."

"Auntie, I really don't know what to do to persuade him to return to the town. He is now following that pervert Tao wholeheartedly for money. Who knows if he will be tortured to death by him one day."

"Xiaocheng told me before that he was too lazy to study and thought he was wasting time accompanying the boss. Xiaocheng is such an outstanding person, how could he not study?" Lin Xiaogong said with tears in his eyes.

Li Yunrong felt that everything in front of him was hazy, and the strangeness of the small town gradually became clear.

No wonder Xiaocheng was wearing shoes that looked very expensive.

No wonder Xiaocheng was able to borrow medical expenses from his boss, and the boss even kindly helped find a treatment team.

No wonder people come to the small town less frequently than before.

No wonder Xiaocheng was so reserved and cautious when interacting with Boss Tao in front of him last time.

It turned out that his son was being kept by a well-dressed man named Tao.

Li Yunrong looked at Lin Xiaogong numbly.

"Xiao Lin, you go back first. I understand what you said."

"Auntie, I..."

Lin Xiaogong wanted to say something else, but Li Yunrong looked at him fiercely.

"You can leave now, Xiaolin, thank you for telling me this, but you don't have to come again in the future." Li Yunrong said.
