She acted very covertly. Taking advantage of their embrace, she slipped the pill-like object into his pocket without even Ouyang Yan noticing. She lowered her voice and whispered something into his ear, causing Mr. Jiu’s expression to subtly shift. She let go of him and then added: "Take good care of yourself." After saying this, she turned and left, with Ouyang Yan following closely behind him. The place where Xiao Chen was being held was quite far from here, located on the other end. At this moment, Ou Beichen lay on the hospital bed. He looked lifeless. A hint of anger flickered in Qin Miaomiao’s eyes, but she suppressed it and spoke coldly: "Have you already arranged to perform the lobotomy?" "Not yet. The surgery is scheduled for seven o’clock. His second personality is extremely manic, so he’s being controlled with tranquilizers for now; otherwise, it would be too risky." Qin Miaomiao glanced at him sideways and spoke in a grave tone: "Do you really think removing his frontal lobe will make him controllable?" "With the help of a hypnotist, using hypnosis techniques, naturally it can be done." "Why are you so fixated on Xiao Chen? You killed his brother—he will definitely seek revenge against you." Ouyang Yan laughed: "So what? As long as he doesn’t remember, isn’t that enough? Do you think he’ll still remember you after the surgery?" Qin Miaomiao looked through the glass door into the room. He lay there so quietly, his face pale, seemingly like a soulless doll. If Ouyang Yan truly performed the surgery on him, he might indeed become a tool devoid of a soul. Given the brutality of his second personality, he might even become a murderous weapon. Qin Miaomiao kept staring through the glass, her rising fury barely contained. She carefully adjusted her expression and spoke coldly: "What do you want in exchange for abandoning the idea of transforming him? Money?" Ouyang Yan raised an eyebrow: "The value he can create isn’t just a matter of money." "Name your price, and I’ll pay." Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 "You’re truly amusing. Are you so certain I won’t kill you?" Qin Miaomiao tilted her gaze at him: "If you wanted to kill me, you would’ve done it by now. I’m far more valuable to you alive." A glimmer of admiration appeared in Ouyang Yan’s eyes: "Indeed, you’re smart. You’re Lu Qing’s wife and the heiress of the Su Family. After Lu Qing and Ninth Master Su die, your status will ensure you can control the entire game. You could become my most perfect partner." She scoffed at him: "Do you think I’d cooperate with you? After you killed my husband and my foster father, why would I obey you?" Ouyang Yan chuckled nonchalantly: "Without you, I can find someone else to replace you. I’m simply offering you a chance to live. If you don’t take it, I’ll have to kill you." He spoke these words in a tone as casual as if he were commenting on the weather. It was then that Qin Miaomiao truly realized the terrifying nature of the man before her. She couldn’t panic. She had to keep him steady! At the very least, Little Fourth must have passed word to Lu Qing’s side. Just as she was thinking this, the ground beneath her trembled abruptly! She even seemed to hear an intense explosion. Ouyang Yan’s expression changed slightly as well. At this moment, a man dressed in white ran up, his face panicked, and said: "Boss, the base is under attack! Someone is using artillery shells to bombard us!" "We’re not sure yet." "Immediately rally the men to counterattack!"
