After Uncle Qi finished speaking, the door was closed again, and darkness returned to the surroundings.

Qin Manshu did not reappear. Ye Zhiwei had a premonition that it was because Jiang Jianian had found the place where they had stayed before. She was now extremely eager to know what was going on with Jiang Jianian. Unfortunately, she was locked in the room with nothing on her and could only wait for Jiang Jianian's rescue.

Qin Manshu was in the room next to Ye Zhiwei's.

The room was monitored by surveillance cameras. Qin Manshu had already installed many hidden cameras in the original location. She crossed her arms and rested her elbows on the table, observing Jiang Jianian.

When Qin Manshu saw that Jiang Jianian had brought a lot of police officers with him, she couldn't help but laugh. But she knew in her heart that Jiang Jianian didn't really want to rely on the police to solve this problem. It was more like a smokescreen.

She called Jiang Jianian again.

Jiang Jianian said expressionlessly, "You took Ye Zhiwei somewhere else."

Qin Manshu smiled and said, "What do you think?"

“You bumped into a hidden camera around here.” Jiang Jianian had already found one of them.

When the police officer next to him noticed, he immediately prepared to destroy it, but Jiang Jianian stopped him first, saying calmly, "Even if you destroy this one, it won't do any good. She has installed more than one surveillance camera. Don't waste your energy."

He said that, but then he took out his phone and sent a message asking someone to prepare jamming equipment for the surveillance cameras.

Qin Manshu praised, "You really know me well."

At this moment, Jiang Jianian no longer wanted to waste words with Qin Manshu and directly asked, "Where is Ye Zhiwei?"

Qin Manshu said slowly, "She's fine. I fed her myself and helped her with washing up. Oh, doesn't my little cousin like to eat fruit? I cut some mangoes for her today, and she ate them all. Even though I tied her up, she has quite an appetite. She ate all the ones I bought."

Jiang Jianian: ...

Qin Manshu stared at Jiang Jianian in the video for a long time, then continued in a low voice, "No matter how you look at it, it's the same person. Who would believe me if I told you that you're not the same person? If it were following the original trajectory, it would obviously be killing people step by step. Why is it that her appearance can change everything while I am still a mess like in my previous life?"

Her voice was very soft, so soft it sounded like a whisper.

However, Jiang Jianian quickly gleaned two words from Qin Manshu's words: "previous life".

He vaguely sensed that Ye Zhiwei was hiding a secret from him, but he never asked. Even though he could sense that this secret might be related to him, he subconsciously ignored the strange things about Ye Zhiwei from the moment he fell in love with her. It wasn't until Qin Manshu mentioned the strange words that he realized that Qin Manshu's words might seem like crazy talk to others, but in Jiang Jianian's eyes, Qin Manshu's words contained a lot of information.

He clenched his fists, not continuing to investigate Qin Manshu's strange behavior, but instead followed up by asking, "What exactly do you want? Since you kidnapped Ye Zhiwei to target me, you might as well come at me directly. Why bother with Ye Zhiwei like this?"

As Qin Manshu watched the surveillance footage, her smile slowly faded. Staring at Jiang Jianian, she said in a deep voice, "You're right, I was indeed targeting you. But isn't it easy to understand why I was tormenting Ye Zhiwei instead of going after you? Right now, hurting your little cousin should hurt you more than hurting you, right?"

"What exactly is your purpose?" Jiang Jianian no longer asked Qin Manshu why she was targeting him. He no longer cared about Qin Manshu's reasons for doing so. He just wanted to know what Qin Manshu wanted to do to get rid of Ye Zhiwei.

Qin Manshu said calmly, "Don't you know what my purpose is? How can I talk about my purpose if you bring the police with you? It seems you think I'm too easy to talk to, so you have no sincerity at all, Jiang Jianian."

Jiang Jianian's gaze darkened, and he understood Qin Manshu's meaning, so he remained silent.

Qin Manshu narrowed her eyes and continued, "I'll send a few people over in a bit. They don't know about my kidnapping, so you don't need to waste your energy arresting and interrogating them. You just need to walk to the designated location, pass through the checkpoint, and get in the car by yourself. I'll let you see your girlfriend. Although it's only been two days, you must have missed her a lot, right? So cooperate with me. If anyone else finds out about this, your little girlfriend might really suffer. It would be more painful for you than if something happened to her directly."

"Qin Manshu." Jiang Jianian's heart sank more and more, almost to the point of exploding, but he still managed to control his emotions well, without revealing a trace of them, and calmly and composedly answered Qin Manshu: "I will do as you ask. It will be just me alone, no police will follow, so please don't make things difficult for her."
