Hearing Li Qiang mention his older brother, Ye Qing also understood that Li Qiang could not possibly leave his brother here—because that was his only family.
"Why not take your brother with us as well?" Ye Qing said.
"I can't take him!" Li Qiang let out a sigh and said, "They fed my brother a kind of poison, and it flares up regularly. If he doesn't take the antidote, he'll suffer in agony until he dies. So my brother has to take their antidote on a fixed schedule…"
At this point, Li Qiang didn't go on, but Ye Qing already understood what he meant. It seemed Li Qiang worked for that short man precisely because of this. His brother was controlled by someone's poison, which meant he himself was controlled.
