Tang Long immediately became impatient. “What are you so proud of? Just because I’ve eaten a few meals paid by you? What’s so great about that? From now on, Mom will definitely live a good life with me! Don’t regret it later!” “Then get out now! Get out!” Tang Mei screamed in emotional breakdown, hair disheveled, grabbing Tang Long’s hand desperately and trying to push him out.

Tang Long, with his temper flaring, pushed Tang Mei away regardless. Unexpectedly, she, wearing high heels, lost her balance for a moment and fell backward, hitting the back of her head hard against the wall.

Tang Mei’s pupils suddenly dilated. In that instant, feelings of unwillingness, resentment, and incredulity flashed through her mind. Then everything went black, and her body uncontrollably slid down the wall.

“What do we do now, son? Did we really kill her?” Tang’s mother asked fearfully, shaking Tang Long’s hand desperately.

Tang Long swallowed nervously, pulling his arm away. “How would I know what to do? I didn’t mean to push her! It’s her fault for not being stable on her feet. What does it have to do with me?”

“Oh, what good does it do to say that now? Go check if your sister is really dead!” Tang’s mother urged, pushing her son forward.

With a pounding heart, Tang Long cautiously approached and then bent down to feel her breath. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. “She’s not dead! She’s still breathing!”

“That’s a relief. Quickly call an ambulance for your sister!” Tang’s mother said, relieved, as she went over to help Tang Mei up from the ground.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t lift Tang Mei because of her age. She looked up at her son for help. “Help me get your sister onto the sofa. We can’t just leave her sitting on the floor like this.”

Tang Long hesitated for a moment, pondering something sinister. Only after his mother urged him repeatedly did he reluctantly speak up. “Mom, we can’t take my sister to the hospital!”

” What do you mean? She’s injured, bleeding from the back of her head. If something happens because we don’t take her to the hospital, won’t we be in trouble?” Tang’s mother asked, puzzled.

Tang Long forced himself to calm down, but he still stuttered a bit as he spoke. “Mom, listen to me. If we take my sister to the hospital like this, when she wakes up, she won’t let me off the hook! If she decides to make trouble and call the police in the hospital, with so many people around, I won’t be able to escape!”

Tang’s mother thought her son had a point and was at a loss. “Then what do you suggest? We can’t just leave her like this. It will become a bigger problem if she dies!”

Supporting his mother as they sat on the sofa, Tang Long spoke gently, “Mom, I have an idea! Remember how my sister threw away the injury report? It doesn’t matter! As long as she can testify in court when the time comes and prove that I got injured because of what Mei Shu did, then we can still get the money!”

“Are you saying you want your sister to speak up for you?” Tang’s mother looked at her daughter, who was still unconscious, with doubt. “Will she agree? She was so defiant just now. Do you have a way to persuade her?”

“Yeah!” Tang Long nodded heavily and then, under his bewildered mother’s gaze, went back to Tang Mei, lifted her from the ground, threw her onto a chair, and then tied her up with rope. “Mom, get some bandages. We’ll stop her bleeding ourselves and wait for her to wake up.”

“Okay!” Tang’s mother always listened to her son. With his instructions, she quickly fetched the family’s medicine box to dress Tang Mei’s wounds.

An hour later, Tang Mei slowly regained consciousness.

A wave of dizziness made her feel dizzy. It took a long time for her to get over the nausea in her stomach. Her eyes could gradually see the entire living room.

Her eyelashes fluttered and her hearing gradually returned. She could hear the sounds of pots and pans coming from the kitchen.

Were they cooking in the kitchen?

Tang Mei realized she was sitting in a chair, and instinctively tried to stand up, but found herself tightly bound.

She then realized that her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope!

“Tang Long!”

Tang Mei yelled uncontrollably, twisting her head to the direction of the noise behind her.

Tang Long, upon hearing her wake up, came out of the bedroom with a sinister smile. “Oh, you’re finally awake. Lucky you, you’re not dead yet. But since you’re not dead, it’s best if you behave yourself and listen to me. Otherwise, I don’t know if you’ll live to see the sun tomorrow.”

Tang Mei struggled to free her hands from the rope, but could only endure the pain in her wrists. “Tang Long, you’re truly insane! Do you even know what you’re doing?”

Tang Long spread his hands nonchalantly. “Of course, I know. I’m just pursuing a life of wealth and luxury! Right now, only you can make me and Mom live like that. As long as you agree to testify in court, telling the judge that my injuries were caused by Mei Shu, then I’ll let you go immediately, and we can live as we used to!”

“Bah!” Tang Mei spat at him fiercely. “You’re dreaming! Do you really think you can extort money from President Mei?”
