They could only conspire to procure the power stone since Tang Lin’s power overwhelmed them.

Ren Qing nodded and smirked.

In the evening, everyone was waiting to fetch the dinner in a queue. Tang Kaiji’s mother didn’t saw her son and asked Pu He, “Where is Ji?”

“He was called out by the Boss.” Pu He answered.

“Didn’t he feel sick? Why didn’t he take a rest?”

“Boss seems to have a slave who know medical skills, so he takes Kaiji there. He asked me to fetch dinner for him before he left.”

“Really? That’s so good!” Tang Kaiji’s mother fetched the dinner for her and her husband merrily, then walked into a dark corner. She pulled out a bottle from her pocket, poured all the medicine into one share of dinner, threw away the bottle, then came back to her husband, “Dinner time.”

Tang Lin smiled, “How did you remember to fetch the dinner for me?”

Guilty conscience flashed across her eyes, “You haven’t done any laborious work for a long time, but you did it all day long. You must be tired, darling, I care about you and wish you can take a rest. Have the porridge, darling, it doesn’t taste good if it is cold.”

Tang Lin took over the bowl and took several sips. Suddenly he felt there were thousands of ants biting his belly. The pain drove his sweat out. “Yun, my stomach, it hurts!”

Ren Yun’s eyes blink and she pretended to be concerned, “Your stomach? Is it the porridge? But I am OK with that.”

“I…” Tang Lin was fainted by the pain.

“Lin, Lin?” Seeing no response from Tang Lin, Ren Yun untied the small bag hanging around his waist and cried out, “Help! Help! My husband faints!”

Tang Bu and Ren Qing ran to her first. They asked as winking to Ren Yun, “What’s wrong, sis?”

Ren Yun nodded, implying that she’d got the power stone. “Your brother-in-law suddenly fainted just now!”

“How could? He is healthy!” Ren Qing pushed his way to his sister, stealthily opened the small bag she untied just now, took out two power stones, then thrust them into his own pocket.

“I don’t know what happened, he has a few sips of the porridge and told me his belly aches. Then he fainted.”

People around all came to them, thinking about how to save Tang Lin.

“I’ll find someone who can cure him.” Ren Qing took it as an excuse and left the crowd with Tang Bu. When the people around were fewer, Ren Qing handed one of the stone to Tang Bu.

Tang Bu was too excited to keep silence, “We did it, we did it! Finally, we can leave this hell!”

Ren Qing replied, “Let’s suck all the power of the stone now in case of anything cutting in.”

“OK.” They’d already forgot about Tang Lin’s death and excitedly hided in the toilet on the second floor of the building.

The deacon had told all the slaves the second floor was forbidden to enter when they took refuge in the construction site. Thus, there was nobody now.

Ren Qing closed the door and whispered, “How can we suck the power from the stone?”

Tang Bu replied, “I need to check it up.”

“Let me join you.”

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

Ren Qing and Tang Bu were all shocked and thrusted the stone into the pocket immediately.

Someone walked into the toilet.

Ren Qing and Tang Bu asked in shock, “Boss Jin? Ji?”

Jin Lingrui said nothing but leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.

Tang Kaiji glared at them with bloody eyes.

Tang Bu and Ren Qing felt their skin pricked by his glare, “Ji, why are you looking at me like this?”

Tang Kaiji took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice, “My Dad died.”

Tang Bu and Ren Qing were stunned and pretended to ask anxiously, “Brother? How could he die?”

Tang Kaiji glared at them with reddened eyes, “People in the team told me you were out to find someone who can cure him. So where is the people you find? In this toilet?”

Tang Bu and Ren Qing, “…”

“Say it, why are you in the toilet on the second floor?” Tang Kaiji couldn’t suppress his anger anymore and shouted at them.

Tang Bu turned on a serious look, “Tang Kaiji, watch your attitude.”

Ren Qing glared at Tang Kaiji, “We are here to find a doctor and we wanted to make water. So, we came here. Is there anything wrong?”

Tang Kaiji rushed at them and pulled the power stones from their pocket, “Tell me, what is this?”

Tang Bu and Ren Qing pounded for him to get the stones back, “They are ours, give it back!”

“Yours? “Tang Kaiji laughed coldly, “How dare you say they are yours!”

Tang Bu rebutted loudly, “They were in our pocket! Could it be yours?”

“They are not mine. But they are my fathers! They the power stone my father stored for twenty years!” Tang Kaiji shouted out, “I can tell them even they turn into ash!”

When he was five, his father often took out the power stone and told him, when he grew up, got married, and the power was awakened, his father would give him and his wife all the three power stones. Then he and his wife could go to the Middle World and live a better life.

He was happy to hear these when he was a kid. When he grew up, he tried numerous times to persuade his father to suck the power himself and go to the Middle World with his mother, but his father was unwilling to do so. Therefore, the stones were still there.

“Liar!” Tang Bu and Ren Qing never admitted their crimes and prepared to attack Tang Kaiji from the two sides, “Give them back! Or we won’t care who you are!”
