Chapter 116: Chapter 117 Magic Suitable for Prison (2000-word Mega Chapter!!!)”Anyway...” Liu Tingruo wanted to defend herself.

”Anyway, you all have your difficulties,” Jiang Shu curled his lip, interrupting with a flick of his wrist the spell that kept the furnace burning blue, ”Let’s start with your troubles, Miss Liu.”

”Um,” Liu Tingruo nodded, ”There is a technique that, if developed, could benefit many, many people and also liberate many, many people.”

”But does researching it require a lot of blood and sacrifice?” Jiang Shu easily guessed the subtext of her words.

”Um,” Liu Tingruo nodded again, her beautiful eyes filled with turmoil.

Such turmoil was even more intense than debating whether to have pork ribs in soy sauce or in a clear soup at night.

”If I really had to say...” Jiang Shu spoke without much thought, ”I would just be a passenger.”

”A passenger?” It was the first time Liu Tingruo had heard such an option.

”Yes, as long as I’m a passenger, the choice has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Shu said nonchalantly, ”If you don’t have the courage to face the consequences, then choose to be an observer.”

”An observer?” Liu Tingruo repeated.

”If you don’t know whether or not to research, then pull out. Come back, Sister Ruo, I’ll make garlic chicken wings for you.” Jiang Shu turned his head to look at the pensive Sister Ruo, ”Maintaining the status quo might not save people, but at least it protects those who shouldn’t be hurt.”

”But... the plan has already started.” Liu Tingruo shook her head, ”There have already been needless sacrifices, though they are only prisoners who have already been sentenced to death.”

”Then continue with your choice, whether it succeeds or fails,” Jiang Shu smiled, ”You have to believe in yourself. You must be right. You can do it.”

His words carried a sense of tranquility that comforted the heart, and Liu Tingruo felt much more at ease.

Jiang Shu quietly watched her.

Anyway, looks are justice, and the values follow Sister Ruo.

Liu Tingruo furrowed her brows, thought for a while, then gulped down the rest of her half-bottle of beer, turned around, and stared fiercely at Jiang Shu, gritting her teeth and saying, ”I know why now!”

”Um? Why what?” Jiang Shu didn’t understand.

”It’s all because you appeared before me that I started to waver!” Liu Tingruo suddenly realized.

Originally, she was determined and would not have indulged in indecisiveness—it was never her style.

It was all Jiang Shu’s fault, abruptly showing up and leading her to involuntarily start thinking about the future, which led to her becoming conflicted...

This man undermines morale, execute immediately!

Liu Tingruo’s fierce gaze made Jiang Shu shrink his neck, he scratched his head and shifted away from Sister Ruo, ”That’s still because you left without saying goodbye.”

”Pfft.” Liu Tingruo’s face blushed with a tinge of alcohol, she stood up, trying to regain her usual cool demeanor.

After a while, she continued, ”Anyway, let’s forget about tonight’s matter if we can.”

”Why?” Jiang Shu asked knowingly.

”When I’ve dealt with my matters, I’ll tell you.” Liu Tingruo wasn’t falling for it, she huffed lightly and turned to leave.

”Leaving just like that?” Jiang Shu was stunned, watching Sister Ruo walk towards the roof door with a brisk stride, red and blue balls flying up and down behind her, ”Will you come again tomorrow?”

”Not coming. Don’t want to see you. Just wait, until we meet again.” Liu Tingruo looked back, smiled briefly, ”By then, you’d better cook a big pot of garlic chicken wings.”

”How big of a pot?”

Liu Tingruo thought for a moment, her mind searching in the villa in zone A1, but the biggest pot seemed to be nothing but the bathtub and the footbath, so she earnestly said, ”Anyway, very big.”

”How many times will you brush your teeth?” Jiang Shu asked seriously.

”...” Liu Tingruo was about to speak but stopped, her next words were no longer the same, ”Shut up.”

Jiang Shu made a ”covering mouth” gesture, then let out a rapid series of ”mmm mmm mmm” sounds as if he had something to say.

”Speak.” Liu Tingruo huffed coldly.

”I need to contact Alpha, Beta, and their kin, I have something to tell them,” Jiang Shu extended his hand, ”Could you help me get my wristwatch back?”

His wristwatch had been handed over to the prison guards before he was incarcerated.

”Do you have to use the wristwatch?” Liu Tingruo frowned slightly.

Jiang Shu nodded earnestly, ”Absolutely necessary.”
