227: I won't leave, I can't leave him.

Xin Xin, do me a favor and heal all the injured people in the Shelter.

Xin Xin's voice came from his mind: "What's the benefit of saving your people?"

"What benefit do you want?" Tian Ming retorted.

After a moment of silence in his consciousness, Xin Xin's voice rang out again: "I lack nothing here, and there's nothing I want. So, why should I help you save people?"

Tian Ming frowned deeply; he could feel that Xin Xin had already rejected his request in his consciousness.

"If you're not going to save them, then don't stay in my ear."

"Hey, I'm willing, what can you do about it?" A light chuckle came from his consciousness, and Xin Xin's voice became somewhat playful.

Tian Ming truly had no way to deal with her. Just as Tian Ming was about to give up, Xin Xin's voice came from his mind.

"Alright, just kidding. I can help you save people, but one thing must be made clear."

"What is it?"

"I'm not your subordinate, don't use that commanding tone to ask me to do things." Xin Xin's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, and Tian Ming could feel that she was doing it on purpose.

"Alright, alright, I beg you to help!"

"Given your proper attitude, I'll help you this one time."

"I'm extremely grateful!"

After Xin Xin agreed, she appeared in front of Tian Ming. This consciousness body could only be seen and touched by Tian Ming.

Xin Xin glanced at Qiu Wuhui, who was lying on the bed, leaned down, and her finger passed directly through Qiu Wuhui's leg. Xin Xin withdrew her hand, and Qiu Wuhui's complexion improved at a visible rate. Ten-odd seconds later, Qiu Wuhui, who had been in a deep coma, opened his eyes.

"Brother, you're awake?" Qiu Qian smiled happily.

Qiu Wuhui sat up: "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been in a coma for two days."

"That long?"

Qiu Wuhui got up and instinctively stood up when he saw Tian Ming.

"Boss!"

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "Move around and see if you're completely healed."

Qiu Wuhui acknowledged, got out of bed, and moved around, his expression filled with shock. He clearly remembered being thrown by a shockwave weapon, his leg broken by a concrete block, and then falling into a coma. But now, he was not only perfectly fine but also had a feeling he had never experienced before. He looked down at his leg; there wasn't a single scar.

"Boss, is this... have you gained healing abilities?"

"This isn't my ability." Tian Ming said indifferently. He had to admit, he was quite envious of Xin Xin's ability. If he also possessed the ability to heal others, he would truly be a god.

Next, Xin Xin healed the other injured people. In just half an hour, all injured people, no matter how severe their injuries, were fully recovered.

Not many people knew about Xin Xin's existence, so all the credit for these healings fell upon Tian Ming. Tian Ming didn't explain much about this. He simply gave some instructions, then took Lisa and set off in the flying car.

The time agreed upon with the Lawrence Family was approaching. Tian Ming and Lisa sped along, arriving at the East District Seaport in about half an hour. This area had already been cleared. During the last negotiation, they had even ceremoniously set up a negotiation team and an ambush.

But the lesson from last time also made the Lawrence Family realize Tian Ming's true strength. His strength was almost unsolvable against any weapon.

This time, the entire East District Seaport had only a solitary aircraft. Tian Ming's flying car landed not far from the aircraft, and at this moment, Commander Rogers saw a flying car approaching and knew Tian Ming had arrived.

Tian Ming and Lisa got out of the car and walked towards the aircraft.

Rogers stepped down from the aircraft, not even bringing a single guard. According to the negotiation team's feedback, Tian Ming's ability meant that even the most advanced weapons couldn't harm him. Therefore, bringing anything was useless.

"Miss Lisa!" Rogers saw Lisa beside Tian Ming and respectfully bowed.

"Commander Rogers." Lisa returned the bow.

Tian Ming glanced at Rogers and asked coldly, "Where is Shen Yuan?"

"Mr. Lu, we already know your ability. If we bring her here, we probably won't be able to stop you from saving her. If you turn hostile, not only will we fail to save Miss Lisa, but I'm afraid I'll also perish here."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. He indeed had the ability to instantly snatch Shen Yuan back, but as Rogers said, once she was brought, there was basically nothing that could stop Tian Ming.

"Aren't you afraid I'll turn hostile now?" Tian Ming's tone was cold.

Rogers swallowed: "Mr. Lu, Shen Yuan is safe and sound now. When I take Miss Lisa back, I will naturally release Shen Yuan. With your ability, you don't need to worry about us playing tricks. In this world, unless God descends, no one can restrain you, right?"

Tian Ming gave a cold laugh and said, "Your Lawrence Family is treating her as a protective charm, aren't you?"

Rogers smiled, without any pretense, and said, "Yes, I think Miss Shen Yuan's position in your heart is enough to make you restrain yourself from attacking the Lawrence Family."

It was indeed as he had guessed. Given the Lawrence Family's caution, even if Lisa was returned, they would not release Shen Yuan. Fortunately, he also hadn't let Xin Xin lift her mental control over Lisa.

Tian Ming took a deep breath and said, "Alright, take your Miss Lisa and go. I hope you keep your promise, otherwise, one Shen Yuan for the entire Lawrence Family, I'm willing to make that trade."

Upon hearing this, Rogers's expression changed slightly. Tian Ming wasn't joking. If the Lawrence Family didn't keep their promise, they would truly face utter destruction. However, this matter was not something he could decide.

Shen Yuan was not just a hostage; she was also a coveted experimental sample for Life Origins, a Superpower User of eight elements, her value immeasurable.

"Mr. Lu, rest assured, the Lawrence Family is not that foolish." Rogers said solemnly.

"I'm not leaving, if I leave him, I'll die." Lisa shook her head repeatedly; the power of the mental control could wake her from deep sleep. If she truly left Tian Ming, Lisa would definitely be tormented to death by the mental agony, and even if she didn't die, her consciousness would go mad from the chaotic pain.

"Why, Miss Lisa?" Rogers asked, puzzled.

"I'm under a curse; I can't leave him beyond a 20-meter radius. Beyond that distance, I'll be in great pain, and the further the distance, the more painful it gets. That kind of pain cannot be expressed in words, Rogers. Go back and tell my father not to oppose Mr. Lu. Mortals cannot oppose a god. Sending Shen Yuan back and then fulfilling all of Mr. Lu's demands is the only way out for the Lawrence Family."
