The car drove towards an unfamiliar place.
Shen Qingqing watched the scenery outside flash by and found that the car finally stopped at a deserted warehouse on the outskirts. Four tall men stood at the entrance of the warehouse.
And they were all of Eastern descent.
Seeing Fu Jingshu holding her hand, the men exchanged glances and said in unison, "Greetings, Master Fu. Greetings, Madam."
Shen Qingqing tilted her head and glanced at Fu Jingshu. "These are all your people."
Fu Jingshu grunted and motioned for them to push open the large door. As the warehouse door creaked open, the scene inside was revealed.
It was a derelict factory, empty and dusty. However, two women were tied up on the ground, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was the assassin from last night.
The one on the right wore a white dress and appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a delicate and lovely face and was lying on the ground, unconscious.
"This is..."
Fu Jingshu's gaze fell on the woman on the left, whose fate was uncertain. "Her name is X. She's a notorious assassin on the dark web. She does anything and kills anyone, as long as the money is right."
"The one on the right is her sister."
Even the hardest bones have a soft spot. If you can get to the soft spot, you don't have to worry about her being tight-lipped.
A man beside him said, "Madam, we interrogated her all night. The woman was stubborn and refused to say anything, only that she wouldn't reveal the client's information. So, we asked for Master Fu's instructions and brought this woman here."
Shen Qingqing glanced at the delicate girl.
"Our affairs should not involve the innocent." Kuai Shu Ge
The man immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam. This girl is definitely not innocent. Although she doesn't know her sister is an assassin, she has never lacked money. She's a spoiled little princess who bullies and harasses others at school, doing all sorts of things."
Truly an angel's face with a devil's heart.
Shen Qingqing immediately felt no burden. "Wake them up."
"You got it!"
The man's method of waking them was simple and crude. He took two bottles of mineral water, still with ice, and poured them directly onto the women's faces.
They flinched and instantly woke up.
X's eyes were only dazed for a moment before becoming clear and sharp. When she saw her sister on the left, her face instantly changed. "What are you doing with her?"
Shen Qingqing said faintly, "Tell the truth, and your sister will be spared."
"Involving innocent people in our business, you are not human!"
X had known for a long time that her line of work would eventually involve her sister, so she kept her sister hidden deeply. Even her boss didn't know she had a sister.
How did these two find out?
Shen Qingqing was also quite curious, but she didn't want to satisfy her query, so she didn't ask. She looked at the man. "What's your name?"
"Your subordinate is A Bei."
"A Bei, I'll give you half an hour. You know what to do, right?"
A slight, excited smile appeared on A Bei's face, looking somewhat perverted. "Madam, don't worry. Half an hour, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."
Shen Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, linked her arm through Fu Jingshu's, and turned to walk towards the door.
The scene that followed might be a bit bloody, and she didn't want to see it.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. "By the way, do you know about the ten cruel punishments of the Qing Dynasty?"
A Bei quickly nodded. "I do."
"That's good. Try them all, one by one."
A Bei stared at the madam's retreating back, speechless, and then looked at his other three brothers. He had initially worried that the madam might be soft-hearted when she arrived.
He never expected that the madam would be even more ruthless than them!
The couple waited outside. After about twenty minutes, A Bei came out, with a hint of disappointment on his face. "Madam, they confessed everything. You can go in now."
Shen Qingqing glanced at him. "Aren't you happy?"
A Bei scratched his head. "It's not that. I thought this woman could hold out longer, but who knew... As soon as we tried one method on her sister, X couldn't take it anymore."
Shen Qingqing chuckled softly. "Let's go in and see."
This time, X no longer had the sharp edge from before. She was dispirited, tears streaming down her face. Her sister had also woken up and was lying on the ground, on the verge of death, with blood all over her ten fingers.
But despite looking haggard, she kept cursing.
She cursed Shen Qingqing, then A Bei, then her sister.
Only Fu Jingshu was spared.
After she finished cursing and saw no one paying attention to her, she looked at Fu Jingshu, her eyes sparkling. "Let me go, and I'll give you whatever you want. I promise not to contact her again, and her actions have nothing to do with me!"
Hearing this, X was in agony.
Fu Jingshu completely ignored her sister, even finding her eyes annoying. "If you don't want them, I can help you dig them out."
X's sister hadn't expected the man to be so ruthless. She was genuinely terrified.
It was only then that she remembered her sister was her most reliable person. She immediately looked at X with teary eyes. "Sister, save me! I'm your only sister, save me!"
X closed her eyes, her heart aching as if being twisted. Then, she slowly opened her eyes and said hoarsely, "I'll talk. I'll tell you everything, but I have only one request: let my sister go."
"Yes, let me go. I really don't know what she did, and it has nothing to do with me!"
X listened to her sister's impatient attempts to distance herself from her, and for a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She only felt a numbness of pain in her heart, and the air she inhaled felt like knives, scraping her internal organs with pain.
"Yes, Chairman Feng asked me to do it. He gave me a large sum of money and said that once this matter was settled, he would help me leave the organization."
She dreamed of returning to a normal life and being with her sister.
She looked at her sister with grief.
"Is there any evidence?"
A few words alone were not enough to use as a bargaining chip against Chairman Feng.
X shook her head. "He's very cautious and didn't leave anything that could serve as evidence. Not even recordings are possible."
She wanted to leave the organization so badly. Even if Chairman Feng ultimately broke his promise, she would at least have the money. Chairman Feng was cautious and meticulous in his actions, and the money transfer was also circuitous, making it impossible to use as evidence.
Shen Qingqing, however, didn't believe it. Wherever there was action, there would be traces. She looked at Fu Jingshu.
"Leave it to me."
He nodded slightly.
As they were leaving, Fu Jingshu looked at A Bei. "Keep a close eye on them. They can't leave, and they can't die."
A Bei nodded quickly.
Although they couldn't use this matter as a means to deal with Chairman Feng for the time being, they at least knew that Chairman Feng was now enraged.
"I'll give him a lesson."
Fu Jingshu put his arm around his wife and got into the car, determined not to let his wife get involved in this matter.
Shen Qingqing knew that the man had a fire burning within him that needed to be vented, and Chairman Feng was the best target to unload on. "Okay, then I'll leave this to you. I need to go see the old man."
"Old man?"
Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered that she hadn't told him yet. "He's... a friend of mine, much older than me."
"I'll go too."
"Alright."
After all, she hadn't brought him to meet the old man yet.
But just as they turned the car around, Fu Jingshu received a call and looked apologetically at Shen Qingqing. "Chairman Feng is preparing to launch a project. I need to go."
Knowing that he wanted to deal with Chairman Feng through the project, Shen Qingqing nodded. "Okay, then you go. Call me if anything comes up."
