She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 130: Those who disobey will become experimental subjects.

Lin Yuyan's steps were unsteady, her eyes wandering. Zhou Lan's voice echoed in her ears, like the whisper of a demon, leading her step by step towards the bottomless underground laboratory.

The dim yellow light flickered in the narrow passage, illuminating her pale and terrified face.

As Lin Yuyan stepped into the laboratory, her heart clenched.

Lingdang and Fu Xingze were tightly bound to the experimental table. Lingdang was not unconscious; she had been frightened awake and was now struggling desperately with her face flushed red. However, the cloth stuffed in her mouth only allowed her to make "woo-woo" sounds.

Fu Xingze was completely unconscious; the low temperature in the laboratory made him feel like a cold corpse.

Zhou Lan stood to the side, her eyes filled with madness, and she shoved a syringe full of medicine into Lin Yuyan's hand.

"Yanyan, be a good girl and listen to me."

Lin Yuyan's hands trembled, almost unable to hold the syringe, and her voice trembled.

"Mom... Xingxing is someone you watched grow up, how could you treat him like this?"

"Don't you hate him? Why are you speaking up for him now?"

Zhou Lan's face darkened, and she said fiercely.

"Stop talking nonsense! You have no choice."

Lin Yuyan looked at the two children, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips trembling, her heart filled with immense fear and helplessness.

She slowly approached the lab table. Bell's eyes widened, and she shook her head desperately, as if begging her not to do it.

Lin Yuyan's hand hovered in mid-air, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She cried as she spoke.

"Mom! Please let me go, I can't, I really can't!"

Seeing this, Zhou Lan stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yuyan's wrist tightly, her nails digging deep into her skin, her eyes revealing an undeniable ferocity.

"Yanyan, you must listen to your mother."

Lin Yuyan closed her eyes in despair, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Finally, she resignedly reached for the tray.

Lin Yuyan gripped the syringe tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her gaze darted across Lingdang's terrified face, her breathing rapid and disordered.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

Zhou Lan scolded impatiently, her eyes like two sharp knives.

Lin Yuyan's hand slowly moved closer to Lingdang's arm, which trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"I...I really can't..." Her voice was choked with sobs, almost pleading.

Zhou Lan grabbed Lin Yuyan's hair and pulled her head back.

"Yanyan, I told you, as long as you behave, you will get things you never even dare to dream of."

As he spoke, he pushed her toward the lab bench.

Lin Yuyan bit her lower lip until blood seeped from it. She raised her hand again, the syringe gleaming coldly under the light.

Her hand was only centimeters away from the child's arm, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

In the end, she broke down and threw the syringe aside.

"I can not do it!"

Zhou Lan's face contorted instantly. Like a raging beast, she swung her arm and slapped Lin Yuyan hard across the face.

Lin Yuyan's face was turned to one side by the slap, and a clear handprint instantly appeared on her face. Blood also seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Lan then kicked her in the stomach, and Lin Yuyan curled up on the ground in pain, letting out a muffled groan.

Zhou Lan squatted down, pinched Lin Yuyan's chin, and forced her to raise her head.

"You think you have a choice? Yanyan, from the day I adopted you, you have no choice but to obey my orders. If you disobey again, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Lin Yuyan stared wide-eyed in horror, shaking her head repeatedly.

Zhou Lan crossed her arms, her eyes cruel, and looked at Lin Yuyan, who was curled up on the ground, and said coldly.

"If you don't do it now, you'll be the next one tied to the lab table. The choice is yours. Yan Yan, don't disappoint your mother, okay?"

Lin Yuyan's face turned deathly pale instantly. She knelt down with a thud, clasped her hands together, and pleaded desperately.

"Mom, please! I'll be good, I promise I'll be good from now on, just please don't make me do these things myself!"

Her voice was hoarse and tearful, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with despair, and her body trembling with fear.

Zhou Lan remained expressionless, a twisted smile even playing on her lips, as if she were enjoying Lin Yuyan's pain.

She remained unmoved, simply standing there quietly, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

Seeing that her pleas were useless, Lin Yuyan could only raise her head tremblingly and speak in an almost desperate voice.

"If you insist that I do it, then you and the lab staff should all leave. I... I'll do it myself."

Her eyes were filled with helplessness, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, knowing it might be futile but having no other choice but to try.

Zhou Lan stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"What tricks are you trying to pull now! Yan Yan, don't try to be clever. You know very well what will happen if you don't do what Mom says."

Lin Yuyan's body trembled uncontrollably. She raised her head, her eyes filled with determination.

He said to Zhou Lan, "I promise, if you don't see results when I come out, you can kill me, or... or make me your test subject. But Mom, please give me this chance, I really won't let you down!"

Zhou Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing Lin Yuyan. After a moment, she let out a cold laugh.

"Well, you better keep your word."

Then, she stepped forward, her eyes revealing an even stronger threat.

"I'm reminding you one more time: if you don't take this step now, you'll be the next one on the lab bench."

After saying that, Zhou Lan waved her hand, turned around and left.

Lin Yuyan watched as Zhou Lan led her people out of the laboratory, the door slowly closing in front of her.

The loud slam of the door seemed to strike her heart, and it took Lin Yuyan a great deal of effort to get up.

She stood alone in front of the lab bench, a syringe clutched tightly in her hand, the medicine gleaming coldly in the syringe.

He raised and lowered his hand several times, his breathing so rapid it was as if he were suffocating.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and slowly brought the syringe close to Fu Xingze's arm.

Just as the needle was about to pierce his skin, Fu Xingze suddenly opened his eyes.

"Auntie, no!"

Lin Yuyan's heart jumped to her throat. Fu Xingze's words, "Auntie, no!" were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into her heart.

Her face turned deathly pale, her body shuddered instinctively, and she nearly dropped the syringe.

"Xingze, please don't make a sound!"

Lin Yuyan lowered her voice, which was filled with sobs and extreme fear. She rushed forward and frantically covered Fu Xingze's mouth with both hands.

Fu Xingze's eyes widened in terror. He shook his head desperately, trying to break free from Lin Yuyan's grasp. His body writhed violently like a trapped fish, and his legs kicked wildly.

Lin Yuyan's hands trembled uncontrollably with nervousness and fear. She could feel Fu Xingze's hot breath on her hands and see his face gradually turning red from lack of oxygen.

"Xingze, be good, don't struggle, listen to me!"

Fu Xingze's struggles lessened, and his eyes began to glaze over...
