What?
Lin Li widened his eyes.
The root-severing potion...
"Don't worry, Young Master Lin, it won't take long. It should be done in about five hours," Wang Hao said with a malicious grin.
"During these five hours, you'll watch as your manhood slowly rots and falls off."
"The side effect? You'll become sterile."
Lin Li's pupils contracted in fear, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
No, this can't be!
He didn't want to become a eunuch!
He couldn't afford to be childless!
"What's that smell?" Wang Hao pinched his nose, catching a whiff of urine. He looked down and saw a puddle where Lin Li was standing.
Lin Li had been so terrified that he wet himself.
"You can torture me however you want, but please, I beg you, don't use that potion on me. If you spare me, I'll give you anything you want," Lin Li pleaded in despair.
"Young Master Lin, becoming a eunuch isn't the end of the world. At least you'll still have your life, right? If you get lonely, you can always find comfort with men," Wang Hao said with a smirk.
Wang Hao stepped closer, holding the potion in his hand.
Lin Li's eyes reflected the reddish-brown liquid in the bottle.
"I won't drink it! Get away from me!" Lin Li struggled fiercely.
Wang Hao grabbed his chin, forcing his mouth open. Lin Li was like a fish on a chopping board, completely powerless to resist as Wang Hao poured the potion down his throat.
Only after seeing Lin Li swallow did Wang Hao release him.
"Ugh—"
Lin Li collapsed to the ground like a dog, desperately clawing at his throat, trying to vomit the potion out.
But it was no use.
He couldn't get rid of it at all!
Two minutes later, a dull pain began to radiate from *that* area.
"Please," Lin Li crawled to Wang Hao's feet, kowtowing frantically. "I beg you, give me the antidote. Please!"
*Thud—*
Lin Li was kicked in the chest, sending him sprawling backward.
Wang Hao planted his foot on Lin Li's chest.
"Cross our master, and you think you'd get off easy? What a joke! You should be grateful you'll even get to leave here alive."
Lin Li clawed at the ground.
Who could have done this to him?
At first, he thought it was Lin Xuan, but now he realized it couldn't be. Lin Xuan didn't have the power to pull this off!
Wang Hao returned to his chair and sat down.
"Strip his pants. Let him watch the process of losing his manhood."
"Yes, sir."
A subordinate stepped forward and quickly yanked off Lin Li's pants.
"Young Master Lin, I'll be honest with you. This root-severing potion is newly developed. There's no antidote."
Lin Li could no longer process Wang Hao's words.
He writhed on the ground in agony.
The pain was unbearable!
Lin Li's entire body was drenched in sweat.
"Ah—" He let out a series of blood-curdling screams.
This wasn't just physical torture; it was psychological torment as well.
Lin Li watched in horror as *it* turned red, then black, before finally falling off, leaving him a complete eunuch.
Wang Hao crossed his legs, looking amused. "Fascinating, truly fascinating."
"Lin Li, you know, in ancient times, when men became eunuchs, their testosterone levels dropped. Their voices gradually became higher-pitched, and they stopped growing facial hair, just like women. I wonder if the same will happen to you?"
No, wait.
He was genuinely curious about this. He'd have to find time to visit Lin Li later and see what he'd become.
Lin Li's eyes were hollow and lifeless.
He couldn't accept what had happened, but the reality was undeniable—*it* was gone.
"Beat him up, then throw him out," Wang Hao ordered.
Lin Li was beaten half to death again. Then, out of some twisted kindness, Wang Hao had someone dress him and dump him on the side of the road.
A kind passerby called an ambulance for Lin Li.
Lin Li's injuries were mostly superficial and wouldn't cause lasting damage.
Though the external wounds were quite severe.
The doctor clicked his tongue, shaking his head.
Who could he have offended to be reduced to such a pitiful state?
Lin Li was bandaged up like a mummy.
When Lin Li woke up, the doctor came in with his medical records.
"Sir, your body will recover with some rest. However..."
The doctor's expression turned uneasy. "Your... *that* area is permanently damaged. You won't be able to engage in sexual relations with women."
Hearing this, Lin Li suddenly recalled Wang Hao's words—*you can always find comfort with men.*
Lin Li broke down.
"Ahhh—" He began pounding his pillow in a frenzy.
The doctor tried to comfort him. "Sir, please calm down. Medical science has advanced quite a bit. If you want children, you could always consider in vitro fertilization."
"In vitro fertilization?"
Lin Li laughed hysterically. "It's useless! I have no sperm left! I'm a useless man now! How can I even consider that?"
The doctor frowned.
He looked at Lin Li with pity.
"Doctor," Lin Li grabbed the doctor's hand, pleading. "Please, don't tell anyone about this."
The Lin family must never find out!
"Alright, I'll keep it confidential," the doctor nodded.
"Sir, I'll leave you to rest now."
The doctor thought Lin Li needed time to process everything.
As the door to the hospital room closed, Lin Li was left alone.
His eyes were empty.
He would never have children.
Lin Chang, who valued profit above all else, would surely side with Lin Xuan if he found out.
Children...
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope flickered in Lin Li's hollow eyes.
Wait, he still had a child!
Didn't Qin Ruoyao have one in her womb?
Then, it hit him—he had sent someone to eliminate Qin Ruoyao's child.
No, no!
That child had to survive!
Lin Li quickly grabbed his phone and called the man he had hired.
"I order you to stop the plan against Qin Ruoyao immediately! You can't harm her child!" Lin Li shouted into the phone.
This was his only child left. He couldn't let anything happen to it!
On the other end, the man's face darkened.
"Young Master Lin, are you trying to back out of our deal?"
Lin Li gritted his teeth. "I'll still pay you, but you must not harm Qin Ruoyao's child!"
"You say you're not backing out?" The man sneered. "Let me tell you, the child is already dead. It's too late to change your mind now. You'll pay, whether you like it or not!"
"Young Master Lin, if you don't believe me, check the trending topics on Weibo. Qin Ruoyao's miscarriage is still at the top of the list!"
Lin Li's hands trembled as he opened Weibo.
Sure enough, the top trending topic was Qin Ruoyao's miscarriage.
Many comments speculated that he was behind it, though others argued that even a beast wouldn't harm its own offspring, suggesting it was just an accident.
Among the trending posts was a photo of Qin Ruoyao lying in a hospital bed. Her once-rounded belly was now flat, and her expression was one of utter despair.
