update icon Updated at 2025/5/8 1:10:12

Whether willingly or unwillingly, tomorrow will always come.

On the fourth day, Ziong MingDe continued to live his life in his usual way, carrying out his plans.

He knew very well that Bi Anyan would not directly harm him, after all, Bi Anyan's goal was to make him willingly participate in the experiment.

However.

The Uesugi family had changed since four days ago, gradually becoming more desolate.

Ziong MingDe saw all this but remained unaffected.

Throughout the day (the fourth day), there was no bad news until the end of school, but Ziong MingDe was well aware that this did not mean safety. On the contrary, the lack of incidents made it even more terrifying.

To some extent, Bi Anyan had already achieved his goal. He had deeply implanted fear and worry into Ziong MingDe's heart, but Ziong MingDe was still unwilling to face it and take on the responsibility.

After school, Uesugi Yui was called to the teacher's office due to her role as a disciplinary committee member. Ziong MingDe went ahead to the municipal elementary school to pick up two little girls. The plan for today was for them to finish their homework and have dinner at the Uesugi's house, and then Koga Shiyi would come to pick up Koga Mizuo.

However, when they returned to the Uesugi's house, Mizuo suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her exercise book at her own house. Under her persistent requests and coquetry, Ziong MingDe finally agreed to accompany her to retrieve it.

It was rare for him to be alone with "Ziongzong", and along the way, Koga Mizuo couldn't resist teasing and playing pranks, being somewhere between a little fairy and a little devil. Ziong MingDe put in a lot of effort to play the role of "Ziongzong" and entertain her.

After all, Koga Mizuo was unaware of the changes that had occurred in the Uesugi family these past few days.

Ziong MingDe and the Uesugi family would not actively involve her.

However.

When Ziong MingDe and Mizuo arrived downstairs at the Koga's house, they couldn't avoid the impending disaster.

"You damn woman, open the door!"

From a distance, they could already hear a man's voice and vulgar language.

Originally, Ziong MingDe wanted Mizuo to wait downstairs, but considering the recent events and Mizuo's impatient personality, he decided to let her come upstairs with him. Although it might be burdensome to have her by his side, it would be safer for her.

"Mizuo, stay behind me."

The two of them went upstairs, and just as Ziong MingDe had feared, there were three men in their thirties blocking the entrance of Mizuo's house, holding metal baseball bats, ready to attack.

Ziong MingDe stopped Mizuo from rushing out and stepped forward himself.

"Who are you people! What do you want!"

His loud reprimand caught the attention of the men, but they soon noticed Koga Mizuo peeking out from behind Ziong MingDe.

"Oh, it's so easy to find what you're looking for when you've worn out your shoes. Isn't this the stinky woman's daughter!"

They ignored Ziong MingDe and walked straight towards Koga Mizuo, intending to attack her directly.

This situation, where he was being disregarded, angered Ziong MingDe. For a moment, he was ready to show these three ignorant men what hell felt like, but in the next second, he restrained himself.

He realized that Koga Mizuo was watching everything.

At this moment, as the actor playing "Ziongzong," he couldn't do something that contradicted this role.

However, there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

- I'm sorry, Koga Mizuo.
