Chapter 493 - House Arrest

"I heard that you built an organization called Sky City? That's very capable!" He nodded his head in satisfaction.

I...

Should I be modest? How should I respond?

I heaved a sigh and looked at him. "I was captured by Ma Ji. They've gone through a lot to trick me into coming here. I'll remember this."

He wasn't surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Are you planning to get even with them?"

I nodded. "I don't like to be taken advantage of." 

He smiled and nodded. "Well said. That is the spirit of the Tong Family."

I was exasperated and said directly, "I don't understand. Why are you talking like this has nothing to do with you? I was captured because of you. Your people's methods are quite despicable."

He was indifferent. "But, this has nothing to do with me."

I was exasperated and glared at him. I had nothing to say. It turned out my eldest uncle was as unreasonable as I was. He said, "I have long wanted to die. However, I have a good son who has never given up on saving me. After being tortured by them for so many years, I have become an experimental specimen. What kind of life is that? I'd rather die."

I was stunned.

He also let out a long sigh. "But this time, things are much better than before. It seems that your blood can really save my life." He nodded. "Now, it is impossible for them to let you leave. So you might as well stay here peacefully. After all, this is your home. When your cousin comes back and sees you, he'll be very happy."

I glared at him. "So, my opinion doesn't matter? No one is going to ask me if I want to stay here?"

He was stunned for a moment. "Why wouldn't you want to stay here? I'm your uncle. Since you can stay by Tong Le's side, then you can naturally stay by my side. I'm also your uncle."

I curled my lips. "Yes, but my little uncle didn't keep me by his side to prolong his life."

He smiled. "That's not my intention either. I'll make sure that they won't draw your blood anymore. Don't worry. I'm keeping you here because I really want you to treat this place as your home. You're a descendant of our Tong family, so you should stay. I'll have your cousin make the best arrangements for you. Tell him what you like, and he'll get you everything you need."

"I want to go home and return to my little uncle's side. That's what I need." I said straightforwardly.

His smile faded, and he frowned. "Nanxing, I'm also your uncle."

I stood up. "In that case, rest well. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Nanxing!"

I ignored him and went straight out of the door.

Who cares who he is? I was not there to satisfy their habits. I was a prisoner and a living blood vessel. I was, in a way, very important to them. It was quite exhilarating. No one dared to kill me because they needed my blood. In that case, I would make them suffer for bringing me along.

When Ma Ji saw me come out, she hurriedly came up to me. "Nanxing."

She was quite friendly.

I stood still.

"Nanxing, thank you! Thank you!" Her eyes were filled with tears.

I was surprised by these people's acting! One moment, they were my kidnappers, the next, they wanted to be my family!

Did they think I was an idiot?

I dodged Ma Ji's hand that was reaching out to grab my hand and took two steps back. I sighed. "That's enough. Let's drop the act.. I can't stand your pretensions. Where are the guards? I don't know how to get back to my cell, so have them bring me!"
