Chapter 178: Eden Garden
Lin Murong looked at him with an innocent face.
“You need to learn from us, you have to learn to repay evil with kindness.”
“Repay your mom!”
“Ah, Brother Chen, how can you still curse? Look at you, with a face that seems so innocent. Who knew you would actually use foul language? I must have misplaced my trust in you.” Lin Murong looked at him with disappointment.
This time, Chen Yuan really spewed blood.
It even flew half a meter away.
To be precise, it was blood spraying.
Lin Murong was stunned.
“Brother Chen, you’re pretty badass.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan spat even more blood, absolutely furious.
Finally, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from anger.
After he fainted, Lin Murong kicked him twice, making sure he was really out. Then, together with Chi Yan, they broke the limbs of the dozens of henchmen Chen Yuan had brought and threw them all out.
It was a huge project, indeed.
After moving them all, Lin Murong felt that he should eat two extra bowls of rice today.
Once Chen Yuan’s men were thrown out, it was his turn. Lin Murong got some hemp ropes from Chi Yan and tied up Chen Yuan really tightly. Except for his head, every other part of him was bound up like a mummy’s.
“He definitely can’t escape this way.” Lin Murong was very satisfied with the work he had done.
Chi Yan: “…”
He didn’t know what to say.
After tying up the man, Lin Murong dragged Chen Yuan into the house.
“Why did you even bring the person back?” Su Yinhe, who was eating fruit and watching a drama, was a bit surprised to see this.
“Ah, I was afraid he might catch a cold outside. The temperature fell a little recently. What if he died of cold if I left him in the yard?”
“You’re quite considerate.”
“That I am. I’m a good person. Even though Brother Chen was calling for violence, I still remembered the kindness he showed us.”
Thus, Lin Murong dragged the half-mummified Chen Yuan and dumped him in the first-floor kitchen.
The kitchen on the first floor was stark and never used; it was just for show.
They never cooked in it.
It was just the place to keep Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan had been dragged all the way without waking up; he lay on the ground like a corpse.
Lin Murong looked at him, then considerately changed his position.
And then considerately locked the door.
A person needs privacy and personal space, after all.
He really is a good person.
“Are we just going to keep him locked up? Are we going to feed him?”
“Um… how about feeding him leftover food?” Lin Murong hesitated.
Su Yinhe looked puzzled. “Do we have leftover food?”
She and Chi Yan would eat exactly what they served; Lin Murong was a big eater, capable of devouring any amount, even wanting to lick the pot clean.

Where would there be any leftovers?
After saying this, Lin Murong also realized the point.
“Well… I’ll try my best to leave some food.” Lin Murong said with a pained expression.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Is it really necessary to keep this man?
Su Yinhe thought this and went ahead and asked.
“I think it’s better to keep him locked up. If we don’t, he’d surely call more people to harass us. It really affects my health; I’m even getting pimples. Wuuu…”
Su Yinhe: “…”
Aren’t Lin Murong’s pimples because of his fried chicken and burger diet? And yet he blames Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan must really be a scapegoat.
Scapegoat Chen Yuan thus began his captive life.
Lin Murong neither hit him nor cursed him, just kept him locked up, and even went to talk to him every day.
He even feared that the hemp ropes would tie him up for too long and affect his blood circulation, so he replaced them with iron chains.
Four iron chains, one for each limb.
Just enough for him to move around the kitchen.
His meals, however, were quite good.
In Chen Yuan’s opinion, they were very good.
It was actually rice for the first meal, with braised pork and stir-fried green vegetables.
The braised pork was very fragrant and had a rich taste.
What surprised him even more were the stir-fried greens.
They were unmutated greens, without a hint of contamination.
Chen Yuan had been determined to die rather than eat, but when he saw the mouthwatering braised pork and the crispy stir-fried veggies, he gave in.
It really was too delicious.
There’s always a first time, and if there’s a first, there’s a second, a third… countless times.
At the beginning, Chen Yuan still resisted with difficulty.
Later, he came to a realization; he needed to live, he had to survive. Only by staying alive could he later take his revenge on them.
Then, the more he ate, the tastier it seemed, the more irresistible it became.
Every time after Lin Murong delivered the food, he would stand at the door, just out of Chen Yuan’s reach, and chat with him.
At first, Chen Yuan acted like a mad dog, desperately wanting to bite Lin Murong.
But under the temptation of the delicious food, he shamefully caved in.
Then his attitude began to soften, and occasionally he would respond.
But what Chen Yuan couldn’t have imagined was that the food he considered delicious was actually leftovers.
One could only say that Lin Murong had a knack for presentation.
With just two pieces of braised pork left, he would arrange them as if it were a meal that was intended to have only two pieces of meat.
Lin Murong was fishing for information.
He believed that Chen Yuan must certainly know where “that place” was.
He was trying to draw information out of Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan was doing the same to him.
Lin Murong wanted the location, while Chen Yuan wanted to know where their food came from.
But Lin Murong was careful. When he realized this, he immediately fed Chen Yuan various pieces of false information.
He told him that they actually had accomplices.
Their accomplices were within the base, and the food was provided by them.
Chen Yuan had previously seen nothing because they didn’t actually live in the villa.
There was a tunnel in the villa, and they always used it to go to their accomplices’ place for rest and meals in the evening.
It was only during the daytime that they would stay in the villa.
It was preposterous, but Chen Yuan believed it.
Then Chen Yuan got angry.
The anger was directed at himself.
How had he just happened to rent a house with a tunnel for them?
Damn it.
Why was his luck so bad?
“Ah, this is not a matter of being lucky or not. Let me put it this way. Our accomplices have dug through your entire base. There are tunnels everywhere, not just in this villa. Even your house, and important locations within the base, have tunnels.”
“Eden Garden too?” Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan blurted out.
Eden Garden.
Lin Murong’s eyes shifted, and he intuited that this was the place.
“Of course,” he pretended to say proudly, lifting his head haughtily.
“No way, it can’t be. Eden Garden is so…” Chen Yuan muttered ‘impossible’ several times before he suddenly clammed up.
“You… are you trying to trick me into talking?” he squinted his eyes, looking warily at Lin Murong.
“Right, right, right, you’re absolutely correct,” Lin Murong didn’t argue but agreed with him repeatedly.
With this response, Chen Yuan became uncertain.
“Hmph. You think you can trick me into talking, impossible.”
“Whatever you say.” Lin Murong stood up, “If you’re done eating, then I’ll be going. I can’t believe I even have to wash the dishes, poor me.” Shaking his head, he took the utensils and left.
Before leaving, he remembered to lock the door.
Chen Yuan sat on the ground, looking at the locked kitchen door, and let out a cold laugh.
Regardless if Lin Jun was trying to coax information out of him, he would never disclose anything about Eden Garden.
Eden Garden was the entire base’s hope.
Even if it killed him, he wouldn’t let anyone threaten Eden Garden.
As for the accomplices Lin Jun spoke of…
False, it had to be false.
Chen Yuan suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
