The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 569 Snap (1)

Bojing rapidly blinked, and a sudden flush of fear gushed into his heart. He protectively covered Zexi.

Li Dong laughed. "Oh, what do I see here? Why are you protecting her? She is just a research subject, nothing else."

"N-No! W-why.. It's always me…D-don't take her away…"

Zexi herself was petrified, but watching Bojing jump in between to protect made her feel guilty.

For the past few weeks, Bojing had been a mess. Since the first time he met Li Dong took Bojing away, Bojing seemed to be in a daze and hardly responded.

Jia roughly told her about Li Dong and Bojing's mother who was used to annihilate the Lu clan. Since then, Bojing hadn't talked to her at all. He didn't speak with Jia either.

He would just sit at one place and emptily stare at the air ahead.

At first, Zexi gave him some time alone because she understood how hard it must have been for him. But as the days passed by, his condition didn't improve. He was getting more and more withdrawn. He avoided eating any meals.

Watching Bojing's lean figure getting thinner, she finally snapped and began bugging Bojing. She started talking to him and kept talking even though she never got any response. She fed him food stubbornly until he would finally eat it.

This went on for quite some days. Bojing ignored all her efforts, yet Zexi never gave up. In the end, Bojing finally responded. That was the first time in weeks that he cried.

And that was the first time Zexi felt extremely relieved to see him shed tears because it meant that Bojing was slowly going back to his normal crybaby state.

I never thought a day would come when seeing someone cry could give me such relief…

With her presence, Bojing slowly found his mind getting back on track again.

But now listening to Li Dong, he was getting paler and paler.

Zexi quickly held his shoulder and tugged him at the back. "I-I will go…"

She didn't want yet another confrontation between Li Dong and Bojing and then see Bojing fall into a lifeless state again.

Bojing furiously shook his head. "I-I won't let you go anywhere!"

Li Dong smiled. "Oh don't worry, my dear Bojing. I will take you too. You should also witness how perfect my research has gotten."

Jia on the other hand, was rapidly thinking of a way to stop this.

Shit. Why is he bringing Zexi in between all of a sudden?

"Boss, she looks so weak and pathetic. I don't think she would be able to handle your experiments," she stated with an unfeeling tone. "She is just a lousy teenager."

He laughed. "That's fine too. Who cares if she dies?"

Zexi froze.

"I see a spunk in her. I think she will be able to take it. That's why I chose her."

Bojing trembled hard. "I-I won't let you take-"

But the guards came in and started to manhandle Zexi.

"Jiming, you bring Bojing."

"Yes, Boss."

Jia grabbed Bojing's arm and whispered. "I will think of a way to stop this. Be calm, okay?"

But he wasn't listening.

"L-leave Zexi!"

Nobody listened to his cries and just like that, they were forced into Li Dong's lab.

Bojing'a wrists were tied behind his back as he was forced to sit in the corner and watch. Zexi was made to lie on a table.

Her whole body was shaking. She wanted to scream, but she felt as if she had lost her voice. There were many sophisticated instruments and machines on all sides. A set of knives and tools that a doctor used for surgery. Some colorful liquid was bubbling and steam wafted out from a few test tubes.

Her face turned ghastly white.

What's going to happen with me?

A stream of tears fell from her eyes.

Li Dong put a sort of metallic helmet on top of her head that discharged electric currents into one's body. She had seen this in movies many times, and she was close to fainting now.

Bojing's cheeks were stained wet with tears watching her tremble and flail her body.

"Y-you will not do this…Leave her alone. T-take me! You will not harm her…" he sniffled and gasped.

"Aish, what's the use of testing on you?" Li Dong chuckled. "I need you to compare your strength with hers once she becomes your clone. That's how I will get my data."

Bojing stretched and retracted his fingers, shaking hard. "Don't hurt her…Don't hurt her…"

Jia knew she had to quickly do something. She quietly stepped out of the lab and headed towards the electrical room.

I will shut down the electricity and generator power. All machines will be rendered useless.

It would have been a risk to do this as she could get caught and compromise her identity.

She narrowed her eyes.

Today is the end. End for Jiang Zhen and Li Dong too. It doesn't matter anymore.

With her eyes shining in determination, she hurried towards the electrical room.

—

Inside the lab, Li Dong made an injection ready filled with a dangerous drug to artificially enhance physical strength and combat abilities.

That along with the combination of other drugs and sending electrical impulses would trigger a change in the cells of the subject's body.

He sneered. "Let's begin. Bojing, my dear. I hope you are watching."

Li Dong injected the drug inside Zexi with a harsh tug.

"Ahhh!" She cried in pain.

Bojing almost broke his chair. "S-s-stop! Don't hurt her!"

In addition to tying him to the chair, Bojing was also imprisoned behind bars which would shoot current if touched the metal bars.

Li Dong had taken all precautions to stop Bojing from going berserk in any event.

Zexi was breathing hard as her body convulsed with a sharp pain. Ber screams echoed in the lab, agitating Bojing even more.

"Stop...Stop..."

As Li Dong continued with his insane experiment on Zexi whose screams grew louder and louder, Bojing's eyes was getting dimmer and dimmer as tears kept pouring out.

The memories he spent with Zexi during all these weeks gushed into his mind.

Her bubbly self and her silly smile was replaced with a shaking body and painful screams.

Li Dong smiled. "Now time to send the current to trigger the drugs' reaction. Thrilling, isn't it?"

"Stop...stop...stop..." Bojing's voice was getting more and more inaudible.

He tracked Li Dong's finger which was about to press the button when it happened.
