Chapter 298: For Su Man?

When Su Man saw the video, she suddenly felt dizzy.

At first glance, she thought Qiao Shiyan had died.

He was hung under the beam, his eyes closed, his whole body like a piece of dead meat, without a trace of life or breath.

If Su Man hadn't seen Qiao Shiyan coughing up blood foam after about ten seconds, she would have been so scared that she fainted.

His eyes were closed. It was unclear whether he had fainted from the torture or because his eyes were injured and were congested and unable to open.

She knew Qiao Shiyan had most likely encountered something bad and was in danger, but she hadn't expected the other party to actually kill him.

Looking at Qiao Shiyan's condition, even if he didn't die, he would be half dead.

The other party wanted to cripple Qiao Shiyan.

Qiao Shiyan didn't have to go through this...

It’s all because of her…

Su Man's hands were shaking as she asked Xiao Beisheng, "Where is he?"

"Out on the high seas."

Xiao Beisheng only said a few words.

Simple, indifferent, and hellish.

Su Man felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and her internal organs were trembling with fear.

high seas……

A public domain that is not governed by any state.

If you go there and use some extraordinary means, it is easy to exploit loopholes in the laws of the country you belong to.

Many horrific murders that shocked people both at home and abroad occurred on the high seas.

How many horrible and angry people choose to go there to commit crimes.

He could quietly take someone's life and still escape legal punishment, remaining at large. Was this the intention of the person who arrested Qiao Shiyan?

"What will happen to him?" Su Man typed these words with shaking hands and sent them out.

Soon, Xiao Beisheng called. "You should think about what will happen to him. He will probably die, you will become a widow, and your child will be without a father. Luo Yan is next to me, can you please stop sending me messages to bother me? She is different from you. She is not as easy to please as you are."

"...Xiao Beisheng, please."

The other person paused, then sneered, a sneer filled with anger, as if gritting his teeth: "You beg me for Qiao Shiyan?"

"Nothing can happen to him." Su Man cried.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of Xiao Beisheng, nor did she want to act like a poor loser.

But the fact is, in front of his powerful power and influence, she is just a humble and insignificant wretch, destined to suffer.

There was no response from Xiao Beisheng.

After a moment of silent silence, he hung up the phone.

What does this mean?

It is indifference and impatience.

Or hang up the phone and think about it?

Su Man's mind was in a mess, but now she had no choice but to ask Xiao Beisheng for help.

She was at her wit's end.

Qiao Shiyan couldn't wait any longer.

Su Man sent a text message to Xiao Beisheng. Doesn’t he like to see her begging for mercy?

Then she begged for mercy.

Because of her emotional excitement, her hands were shaking as she typed, and she made several typos. She typed and deleted, deleted and typed again, and finally sent it. When she wiped her face, it was already wet with tears.

The message was sent successfully. She held the phone and forced herself to calm down and wait for the reply.

-

On Xiao Beisheng's side.

Everyone threw Gu Ziheng out of the box, but the atmosphere could no longer return to the relaxed state it was at the beginning of the fun.

When fighting, there are bound to be bumps and bruises. Now everyone has bruised faces and noses, and they are all feeling a little unhappy.

Xiao Beisheng sat in the center of the sofa like a giant Buddha, motionless, with a solemn expression.

Everyone regarded him as their backbone and gathered around him and sat down again.

Someone slowly brought the atmosphere back to life. Xiao Beisheng held a cigarette in his mouth. The man in the knitted hat was very polite and poured Xiao Beisheng a glass of wine: "Come on, let's have a drink, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Beisheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, a message came on his mobile phone and he took a look.

Still Suman:

Please, I beg you, I will do anything you ask of me.

Xiao Beisheng held the phone in his hand, dark clouds surging in his eyes.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Xiao Beisheng suddenly cursed "Fuck!" and threw the phone away.

Everyone on the scene was stunned by this sudden situation, and the table immediately fell silent.

The man in the knitted hat thought Xiao Beisheng was still angry about what happened just now, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Boss Xiao, that Gu Ziheng is just an idiot, there's no need to be so angry. Let's just eat and drink."

"Is she an idiot?"

"He's just an idiot! A huge idiot!"

"roll."

"ah?"

Xiao Beisheng closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stood up: "You guys continue playing, I have something to leave first."

Seeing Xiao Beisheng go out, Luo Yan followed him out, "What happened?"

"I have something to take care of, you don't have to come."

Luo Yan held him, standing in the dimly lit corridor, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed her body against him. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven't had enough fun tonight."

Xiao Beisheng stared at Luo Yan, "I remember that you had an arms smuggling cooperation with the military of Country B, right?"

After asking this question, the ambiguous expression on Luo Yan's face froze.

She smiled, her tone relaxed and even a hint of flirtation, "Their military is indeed doing arms business with me. Why are you asking this? Not satisfied with the drug trade, are they also thinking of extending their hand into arms smuggling?"

Xiao Beisheng answered the question irrelevantly: "Then do you have some connections with the political circles in Country B?"

"Yes, a little bit, what's wrong?"

"Qiao Shiyan was kidnapped and put on a ship, which was sailed to the high seas. On that ship was flying the flag of Country B." Xiao Beisheng explained in a light tone.

In fact, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want once you go to the high seas.

All ships need to be registered for nationality. If a crime is committed, the ship and personnel will be subject to jurisdiction according to the laws of the nationality to which they belong.

However, it would be a different situation if the criminal had the ability to use connections with vassal states to cunningly evade legal punishment.

If it was Luo Yan who kidnapped Qiao Shiyan, and Luo Yan had connections with the political circles of Country B, even if he killed someone on the high seas, Luo Yan would be able to escape justice when the case was handed over to the court of Country B for trial.

This time, Luo Yan couldn't laugh at all.

"You're so annoying. What exactly do you want to say? I'm really tired of your beating around the bush."

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. Does Qiao Shiyan's matter have anything to do with you?"

Luo Yan withdrew her hand from his shoulder and frowned, "Are you questioning me? I'm fine, why would I bother with this person who has nothing to do with me? Well, let's take a step back, even if I did it, what do you want to do to me?"

Xiao Beisheng's eyes swept across her face, "It's better if it has nothing to do with you."

After he finished speaking, he turned and was about to leave.

Luo Yan caught up and stopped him, "Bei Sheng, you and Qiao Shiyan no longer have any feelings for each other, right? Why do you still care about his affairs? Are you nostalgic for the old times, or is it for something else? You're not doing this for Su Man, are you?"

Mentioning Suman, she became a little nervous. "Are you doubting me, questioning me, and threatening me for Suman?"

Xiao Beisheng half closed his eyelids and looked at her seriously.

Neither said yes nor no.
