Chapter 382 - Tripwire

"The only thing that's important is my entertainment Bojing," Mingshen leaned back on his chair and stretched his arms as he lazily smiled.

Lu Bojing thought that he would die.

Because he saw his Boss smile, which was not any less than the eight wonders of this world. It was as if he was seeing light at the end of the tunnel when someone felt his last moments coming at him.

"Entertainment?" He nervously questioned.

"Yes, entertainment. Who might that be, I wonder?"

He coughed.

Ever since Jia woke up from the coma, it felt as if some switch was turned on that changed Mingshen to this. Though he was still nasty, he wasn't like a death threat looming on his assistants.

Mingshen smiled. "I see you have some problems understanding it. Let me go back thirty minutes before and explain…"

*Thirty minutes back*

Jia wanted to escape.

As quickly as possible. As silently as possible. She had no time to waste.

But there were limited options. By going straight out of her room, there was always a chance of running into the devil himself or one of his minions.

But there was one particular place where she could see a ray of hope.

That strange woman's room for whom Mingshen needed her heart. There was a glass window that separated their wards and she saw what she thought was a vent.

So, she stepped into her room. She paused and stood by her side. She observed the woman's pale condition and sighed.

It was for her that Jia was imprisoned.

"I have no beef with you, but I am sorry. I cannot give you my heart. But I hope you live."

Mingshen was a crazy doctor, but he had skills. That was clear. It reflected in his attitude. Nobody would get that confidence if he wasn't the best of the best.

"He would find a way for you for sure," she gently patted her shoulder.

Jia somehow dislodged the air vent and climbed. It was wide enough for her to fit. Plus she had gotten thinner in the last six months, so it was even easier. She was sure that the vent led to an exit. She crawled on her hands and knees and soon found the other side from where she could see light seeping in.

Jia carefully dislodged the other side as well. As expected, it opened at the backside of the lab. She peered down. It was a considerable height to jump down. But she had no choice. She looked left and right and beyond. There seemed to be no one hovering around.

At least there is grass so it will soften my fall…

Without giving it a second thought, she jumped and landed squarely on her feet. Just as she was about to let out a breath of relief, a tripwire got triggered and suddenly, a cage appeared out of nowhere from beneath the ground. The bars of the cage imprisoned her within it as they slid from bottom to meet at the top.

She grimaced.

"Hey I caught a fish~~" Mingshen said as he popped his head out.

Jia said nothing.

"Oh wait, it's a human," he touched his chin. "And it's my Spicy who I love so much!" His gaze sparkled.

Jia ignored his sarcasm with an obvious disdain and internally calculated.

A tripwire. A signal. Something got pressed when I jumped. But what? I didn't feel as if I jumped on a button or a wire or something else.

"This whole ground is a tripwire, Spicy, if that's what you are wondering~" Mingshen beamed in delight. "It senses movement, and the signal activates this lovely cage."

"So even if a bird flies past and innocently rests here, will the cage activate? That's some shitty move."

"Of course not. I have programmed it to specifically sense footsteps and jumps. A jump similar to what you did."

She said nothing.

"Hmm…" Mingshen touched his chin and furrowed his brows. "I really don't like talking to you like this. I cannot see my Spicy in a cage."

"Your whole lab is a cage to me, and you are talking about this one with actual bars in it? Is your head alright?" Jia shot back.

"Don't be so harsh, Spicy. My lab is state of the art. Aren't you living so comfortably? Don't you enjoy the lunch and dinner my Mom sends?" Mingshen sighed.

Jia jerked her head in utter shock. "Excuse me? Your Mom?"

He shrugged. "I am too busy to eat, so she sends my lunches and dinners. She personally cooks even though I said not to bother for a son like me."

A son like me…

Well at least he has some self-realization.

But she felt a little strange. Jia had absolutely no interest in eating or drinking anything in this psycho's doctor's lab. But her body needed food to survive.

She thought she would eat the bare minimum to live, but when she tasted it, she ate up everything. She could never resist the food brought to her.

Now she understood why.

No wonder. It's was a mother's cooking.

She felt the love and warmth of the woman cooking it. She imagined her smiling in the kitchen.

Her mother was the same.

She stiffened and the thought of her mother flashed through her mind. Her parents that Wei murdered and were not in this world anymore because of him. She and Lihua who were left orphans.

The memories of her parents shook her. Mingshen noticed the faintest trace of discomfort, and he immediately realized where her thoughts might have trailed.

Jia snapped out as she heard the cage going back down. Mingshen was about to say something when one of his assistants rushed towards him and interrupted him. He eagerly carried a test tube in his hand.

"Boss, the poison formulation is done!" He exclaimed. "The test is successful!"

The purple fumes coming out of it seemed ominous and lethal.

The assistant was excitedly walking towards him to show the results when he tripped, and the poison was about to spill onto Mingshen.

Oh fuck! It will corrode the skin if the liquid touches it!

But in the next second, Mingshen was already out of harm's way as he felt a harsh pull to the side and landed straight onto Jia as they fell.
