LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 414: Impersonating Identity
"Do you still have that health supplement?"
Wang Tao asked directly.
"No, we drank it all..."
As Li Xin shook her head, she unconsciously swallowed.
"You really want to drink it now, don't you?"
"...Yes!"
Wang Tao could clearly see the longing in her eyes.
"What if I told you that I can get you out of here, you won't die, and you won't be responsible for Yao Guodong's death, but the price is that you can never drink this health supplement again, would you agree?"
Wang Tao suddenly said.
"Huh?"
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then her small face was immediately filled with conflict.
"But... why... why can't I have any..."
"..."
Wang Tao shook his head somewhat speechlessly.
The point of his statement was that he could save Li Xin, not let her take any responsibility. According to the logic of ordinary people, at this time, one would definitely seek a way out first, after all, only if you get out, can you have the chance to drink the medicine, so even if it were a lie, you would agree. Yet Li Xin's first reaction was to wonder why Wang Tao would not let her drink it...
Clearly, Li Xin had developed a complete addiction to the supplement, even though she hadn't been drinking it for long.
"Because that health supplement is poisonous."
Wang Tao explained bluntly.
"Poisonous? Impossible, I feel very comfortable after drinking it, my body has never felt so good... although I occasionally get a bit confused, but that's just like being drunk, it's actually quite pleasant, there's no harm at all!"
Li Xin immediately objected.
"The poison makes you addicted."
"..."
Li Xin shook her head.
Although she didn't say anything, she obviously didn't believe it.
Wang Tao observed carefully and found that Li Xin's disbelief did not stem from reluctance but from a genuine disbelief from the heart.
This poison is strong!
Wang Tao felt it was even more potent than some of the drugs before the apocalypse. Because many drug users are logically aware that their behavior is wrong. But with Li Xin, she showed no signs of feeling something was amiss, even after Wang Tao explained, she still did not believe.
Of course, this might also be because Li Xin's body hasn't shown any problems yet.
[Poisoning: A regular toxin with some addictive properties. Long-term use can lead to death. Detoxification possible if not taken within seven days]
The status of her poisoning only indicated that long-term use leads to death, without describing what this process looks like. So Wang Tao wasn't sure if the end was a slow, painful torment or a sudden death... Although logically, it should be the former, the current situation was unpredictable.
"So, what's your choice? Continue to drink the health supplement? Or let me get you out? Choose one."
Wang Tao asked again.
"I..."
Li Xin was instantly torn.
But she was still rational after all, and after biting her teeth, she said:
"As long as Mr. Wang can save me, I'll do whatever you want, including never drinking the health supplement!"
Her words were decisive, including her expression, all very serious. Wang Tao couldn't tell one way or the other by speech, but through his divine power, he observed her mental fluctuations were very intense... Clearly, she lied.
"Okay, just remember what you said."
Wang Tao didn't say much else, once she was in his hands, couldn't he cure her? Just seven days, Wang Tao had plenty of ways to make her hold back.
"So when can I get out?"
Li Xin asked somewhat nervously.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you can get out tomorrow."
Wang Tao planned to go to the place Li Xin mentioned that sold the medicine tonight; as long as he found the person selling the medicine, Li Xin and the others would be useless, and thus releasing them wouldn't be an issue.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, Li Xin instantly cried with joy.
She really didn't want to stay here anymore, although she had already left the underground chamber, she still felt very oppressed. Moreover, she thought Yao Guodong's death might have really been caused by her, and she might be executed tomorrow... All kinds of oppressive feelings were almost driving her crazy. Of course, there was also the fact that she had no way to get the health supplement here; if she got out, although she didn't know where to get it apart from the place Qiu Rong mentioned, there was still some hope...
But perhaps fearing Wang Tao would go back on his word, Li Xin, who was kneeling before Wang Tao, looked up at him, then shuffled on her knees to his thigh and hugged it.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Tao frowned.
"Mr. Wang, I don't know how to thank you, I don't have anything to repay you with... I only have myself, I hope Mr. Wang wouldn't disdain..."
Li Xin's pale face flushed slightly.
Although she was previously afraid of Wang Tao, now that she was pressing herself against him, looking at his handsome face, feeling his robust physique, Li Xin instantly felt a strong sense of security! Even if it wasn't to repay Wang Tao, or to cling to his power, but just to simply enjoy the pleasures of men and women, she felt she shouldn't be averse to someone like Wang Tao. After all, when she was with Yao Guodong, she never enjoyed happiness, but when she was close to Qiu Rong, it felt very soothing...
As Li Xin thought, she began to undress. Wang Tao hadn't even reacted before Li Xin's top was off, and since she was still kneeling, her pants were a bit difficult to take off... Well, it wasn't that Wang Tao was waiting for her to undress, he genuinely hadn't reacted yet.
