Flowers Are Bait

Chapter 247:

Those bastards are all skilled torturers!

Fertilizer and torture. Lee-yeon chewed on her nails, repeating the words Hwang Jo-yoon had said.

So, summarizing his words, to make the raw material for the Summer bloom

As she roamed her cell, shocked and frozen by the impact, the door rattled open abruptly, and two men came in. She froze, looking at the unfamiliar large figures. Every conceivable misfortune flashed through her mind.

Dressed in pitch-black uniforms from top to bottom like soldiers, they forcefully grabbed Lee-yeons arms.

W-who are you? What are you doing?!

When Lee-yeon screamed, Hwang Jo-yoon immediately responded from the next cell.

Lee-yeon! Lee-yeon!

Although he cried out desperately, he looked somewhat excited, as if he anticipated something was happening.

The men who stormed into the room grabbed Lee-yeons arms tightly, one at a time, and dragged her out as if they were taking a suspect. She closed her eyes tightly in the sudden bright light.

Hwang Jo-yoons tearing cries could still be heard behind him. It seemed like his months of confinement did a number on him.

Lee-yeon, dont be scared! ! It will be over soon. Just give them blood, only blood!

As he spoke, the senior banged his head against the wall, emitting a sinister laughter.

Although Lee-yeon couldnt see Hwang Jo-yoons appearance in person, he seemed to be quite broken while trapped here.

She swallowed her dry saliva and looked around her. The thought that she might be locked in solitary cell with all four walls blocked at any time again tightened her nerves and sharpened her senses.

On both sides of the hallway, gray iron doors were lined up like built-in closets.

Each step she took made a clanging sound as the doors rattled against their frames.

The cacophony of coughing and cries echoed, permeating the air with the agony of people.

Soon, her eyes met several people through a small window. The tired pupils slowly moved from side to side, and the glass window was full of dirty finger marks and blood stains. She shuddered at the horrible sight.

Gyu-baek

.

Gyu-baek!

No words came out, as if her throat were completely blocked.

Where are you going now? She asked them with all her remaining might.

The security guards just swiped their card keys and entered another area, without showing any reaction.

The place was completely white from ceiling to floor, and people walking by were fully armed with white protective clothing, masks, shoe covers, and face shields.

Lee-yeon blinked at the sudden change in atmosphere, but when she saw their boots bright red and wet, she stiffened again.

Hydrangea medicine doesnt just require blood; it requires adrenaline secreted in large quantities.

She recalled the words of Hwang Jo-yoon, who was going crazy.

In case, though its unlikely, if anyone asks, say youre a tree doctor from D Hospital.

Professor!

You havent seen anything here. Just keep your mouth shut and leave.

I have to report this outside, release the people trapped underground. We have to do it right away. Please!

Professor!

Seeing no reaction from him, her frustrated voice grew louder.

Lee-yeon, I discovered that dreadful plant and Im the one in charge here.

Jo Kyung-cheon didnt say, Thanks to you getting lost and falling into the swamp that day. In fact, he hoped Lee-yeon wouldnt know about such horrifying events.

Unless you were sponsored by the Kwon family, you couldnt even guarantee the basic safety of your life.

Discovering the rare plant, making it bloom, mass-producing it, and completing Summerall the missing and dead researchers were just another truckload.

Involving So Lee-yeon in such matters was the last thing he wanted. Among his disciples, she was the most innocent.

A person who was most fitting to run to a sick tree with the smell of fertilizer or embrace a suffering tree.

Enough with the nonsense. Get out of here quickly.

No, I cant.

This brat! Do you really want to experience something dangerous here?

Jo Kyung-cheon reddened his face and forcefully pushed Lee-yeon shoulder, urging her to leave immediately.

Theres a boy who was dragged here with me.

Her voice trembled lightly.

Hes only eight now, and how could I escape alone!

Her face, pale with the feeling of going crazy, twisted helplessly.

Even though there was a clear way to survive, she could somewhat understand the desperate feeling that led Yun Joo-ha to crawl into the pit.

At that moment, as she was putting her shaking hand into the pocket of the gown as if to hide it, she paused.

A cold metal was pressed into her hand.

It was a lighter.
