Evil CEO's Favorites

Ling Jing walked out of the study without answering.    

In the study room, Ling Pengtian's voice faded into the air, "Jing, this stubborn mind of yours really resembles your mother."    

— —    

In the past, Jun Yuexi had spent her Sundays with Ling Jing in Ling Family Mansion. However, on this Sunday, Ling Jing brought Jun Yuexi in Ling Family's private car and drove in a certain direction towards the suburbs.    

"Mr Ling, where are we going? "Are we going on an outing?" Baby Jun sat on the bed in the back seat, her small face full of curiosity as she gazed at the scenery along the way.    

"No." Ling Jing shook his head, "You'll know in a while."    

"It must be a very fun place, right?"    

Is it fun? In the past, he might have just treated that kidnapping as a kind of game, not caring about his own life. Even if the kidnappers would tear him apart at any time, he was still immersed in that cold-blooded game and did not think that his life was of any value at all.    

But now, he felt a sense of relief. He was glad that he was alive. Because he was alive, he was able to meet Xi, and only then did he realize that his existence was extremely important to someone.    

"It's not a fun place. Rather, it's a … "A very terrifying place." Ling Jing muttered, "If that's the case, is Xi still willing to go with me to that place?"    

"A very scary place?" The little guy's face creased up, as if he was afraid.    

"If you don't want to go …"    

"Xi is not afraid." She interrupted him, "With Mr Ling, even if it's a scary place, Xi will still protect Mr Ling."    

Is that so? So... She wanted to protect him? The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile.    

However, something seemed to be pressing down on his chest. Perhaps he was worried; he wanted to gamble. However, a wager was not something that he could afford …    

In a secluded area in the suburbs, weeds were growing everywhere, and in the distance, there were some hills and farmlands. However, there were very few people farming them, and most of the areas were only encircled, to be used for future urban development.    

This place hadn't changed much from five years ago. Even though there had been a major kidnapping case in this place, as time passed, the place had only become peaceful.    

Jun Yuexi looked around curiously, not understanding why Mr Ling would say "scary" in such a place.    

Ling Jing held Jun Yuexi's hand and instructed the driver to wait at the same place. Then, he walked towards a small path not far away.    

The deeper they went, the more weeds there were growing on both sides of the road. At the end of the path, there was a short, unremarkable bungalow. There were many houses like this in the suburbs.    

Ling Jing brought Jun Yuexi to the front door. It was obvious that the room was even more abandoned than it used to be. All the windows had been broken down long ago.    

The door to the house had already been broken open. One of the doors had gone off somewhere, and people could just walk in without even pushing the door open.    

"Hey, you two better not walk around randomly!" Not far away, a passing auntie saw him and shouted out with good intentions, "That house was not lucky, it was …" She seemed to remember that the other side only had two children, so she didn't finish her sentence.    

"I know." Ling Jing replied plainly, "I know what happened in this house before, because I came here before."    

"Ah?!" The aunt's expression changed, as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly left as if she was deeply afraid of causing trouble.    

Ling Jing looked down at Jun Yuexi, "Are you afraid?"    

The little guy shook his head and replied with certainty, "No, I'm not."    

Ling Jing led Jun Yuexi into the broken house. There was a lot of dust in the house, and there were spider webs covering a lot of places. The number of furnishings inside was less than he remembered. It seemed that the police moved some of the evidence later on.    

The room wasn't big, only two rooms. On the floor of one of the rooms, under the dust, one could see a darker shade of brown than the others. Back then, this land had once been covered by the dark red blood.    

"Mr Ling, what is this place?" Jun Yuexi asked curiously, her black eyes wide as if she was trying to find something terrifying.    

"It's the place where I was kidnapped and stayed." Ling Jing answered.    

"Kidnapping?" She thought for a moment and said, "Is it like last time when Mr Ling and I were taken away by bad people?"    

"Yes." "One of the servants had always been very good to me, and would look at me with a very gentle gaze. No matter how angry I am or how I treat her, she will not be angry, and she also said that she only wants to see me and wants to see her child. She has a son that is about my age." And that person had also told him that every mother loved her child. He was not a child that no one loved.    

That woman, at the age of eight, made up for his mother's absence and made him interested in people who didn't matter.    

She would always say, "Little Jing is very good, if only I had a child like her." With a smile that clouded his eyes. But in the end, she joined forces with the others and kidnapped him!    

When he asked her why she wanted to do this, she said to him with a twisted expression, "Why is it that the heavens are so unfair? Why can a child like you, who no one wants, enjoy wealth and glory while my poor child was born sick and didn't even have the money to operate!"    

At that moment, all the previous love had been shattered. To him, it was nothing more than an illusion.    

Thus, when he heard those words, he did not cry. Instead, he smiled, as if everything had settled down to dust. At that time, he said to himself, in fact, it should be like this, he was just a child that no one would ever love.    

Thus, he treated this as a game, a game of survival.    

"What happened next?" "What happened then?" Jun Yuexi's gentle voice sounded beside Ling Jing's ear.    

"Later on, I watched them and found a chance to talk to them. Finally, I let them kill each other for the ransom." His voice was low, as if he was suppressing something.    

"What is killing each other?" She did not understand. She did not understand this strange idiom.
