It had been three days, and Bai Yunyu was still locked in the same room. Han Ye Gege brought him food three times a day, and he was supplied with everything he needed.

But he was still empty, so empty that he could feel nothing right now. 

Even after Bi He's dead, he didn't even care much and continued living like a salted fish. 

But that was about to change soon.

Bai Yunyu heard the door was opened, and he turned his head to see the visitor, who was obviously Han Ye Gege. 

He brought Yunyu's breakfast for today, but it was quite weird because the food was actually liquid today. 

Han Ye put a bowl of warm soup on the table, "This is your breakfast."

"Gege… why is it liquid?" Yunyu asked out of curiousness. But he regretted his curiosity soon after. 

Han Ye grinned mysteriously and asked, "You slut must've known when a man who bottomed is eating a liquid food for the whole day, right? It's quite a natural process."

Yunyu frowned because he didn't understand what Han Ye Gege meant by that. 

"I don't understand, Gege…."

Han Ye's gaze darkened, but he still kept his calm, unlike his usual self. He maintained his smirk and asked, "Oh, really? You don't know why? I thought all slut like you must've known about this."

…

Bai Yunyu still didn't understand why, but he just stared at Han Ye Gege with hesitation in his expression. 

"You really don't know, huh?"

"I don't Gege, Sorry…."

"Well, you will know soon enough. Just eat this soup."

Han Ye turned around and closed the door. Bai Yunyu stared at the soup and then started eating in the process. It was literally just a soup with tofu inside, nothing else. Of course, he was still hungry after eating one, but he dared not incite Han Ye Gege's anger. 

"I wonder why he is not angry at me today…."

**

In the evening, Han Ye cooked another soup for Yunyu and got a call from the old man. He picked up the call and turned on the speaker. 

"What?" Han Ye asked. 

"Mr. Han, is it really necessary for me to come?" The old man asked worriedly. 

"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to bail out after I paid your debt?"

"N—No, it's just… Mr. Han, don't you see the fear in that young man? He is terrified at me when you said that he will be sold to me as a sex toy," the old man said. "I've never seen someone so terrified but still trying to hold his ground. Mr. Han, please reconsider, I don't want to break a young man like that—"

"Shut up, you old twat. I told you to come here and do what I say, just strip naked in front of him and do your thing, or else, I will call those debt collectors to harvest your organ instead. Remember that," Han Ye threatened the old man, and it was effective enough that the old man could only agree on the command.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Han…" the old man agreed defeatedly. 

Han Ye hung up the phone call, but before he could move from the kitchen counter, he got another call from someone else, and it was Deng Jia or Jia Jie. 

Han Ye picked up the call and asked, "What?"

"Han Ye, where did you keep Bai Yunyu? Is he still in your second house right now?" Jia Jie asked with no hesitation. 

"Oh? You're asking that little shit's whereabouts right now, huh?" Han Ye scoffed sarcastically. "You're the one who agreed to lead him here, and now you're the one who got worried as well? Deng Jia, you sold him out, and he is my property right now. Now shut up and work, or I will cut all my funding for your mother's treatment and medication."

Jia Jie clenched her fist because Han Ye checkmated her so early. 

Yes, it was she who sold Yunyu out of her own ego. 

She was desperate to save her mother, and the fact that her entire medication and treatment relied on Han Ye's funding, it was like a trap for her. 

She couldn't escape Han Ye's grasp, and Yunyu acknowledged that. That was why Yunyu decided to sacrifice herself.

But Jia Jie was so burdened, and the guilty consciousness ate her up. She confessed to her mother about what happened when her mother started asking Yunyu right now. 

Jia Jie still remembered what her mother said.

'That young man, Bai Yunyu, is a good kid. He told me his mom died years ago, and his dad remarried, leaving him alone, basically discarding him off his life. He doesn't ask much. He just wants to live in peace and chase his dream.'

'I know that he is willing to sacrifice himself for anyone who gives him attention. Because he is starving for attention. He wants someone to give him genuine love and care. He visited me often because he said he feels peace when talking with me.'

'But I will not take his sacrifice. He doesn't deserve to suffer for this. I don't want to live by sacrificing a good kid like him….'

The realization hit Jia Jie hard, as she realized that she was being utterly selfish, destroying the life of a good kid like Yunyu for her own happiness. 

Thus, she collected her courage and called Han Ye now. 

"Where is Bai Yunyu right now, Han Ye?" Jia Jie asked again. She was fearless this time.

"It's of your goddamn business, now shut up and get to work before I throw your dying mom out of her treatment, you broke bitch!"

"I don't care. My mom wants me to save Bai Yunyu because that kid doesn't deserve such horrible treatment.. Now I will ask you one more time, where the fuck is Bai Yunyu right now? Answer me, or I will call the cops!" Jia Jie threatened.
