Is this necessary?

"Of course there are. Too much talk leads to mistakes. You can observe a lot of details just by meeting him once. You might gain even more insights if you meet him again. Anyway, he's being controlled and can't hurt me."

“Okay.” Zhan Jingting did not object. “I’ll go with you.”

This was Qiao Wanwan's first time visiting this place. It was an industrial park under the Dijin Group, covering a vast area. Although it was night, most of the lights were still on.

The detention center is located in an ordinary-looking building at the very back, but it is in the basement, and you need to go through multiple layers of identity checks to enter.

When she reached the door, Qiao Wanwan stopped. "Jingting, I'll go in by myself. There are bodyguards here, so nothing will happen."

“If you were there, he would inevitably be more wary, but I am a woman, which might make him lower his guard and say more.”

Zhan Jingting said, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside. There's real-time surveillance outside, and I'll observe from there."

"Um."

When Qiao Wanwan went in, the person had already been brought in and tied to a chair.

The moment their eyes met, Qiao Wanwan could clearly sense a hint of surprise in the man's eyes.

But it only happened briefly.

"I never expected to have Madam Zhan personally grace me with her presence; it's truly an honor." The man smiled faintly. "You're very curious about who I really am, aren't you?"

Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa a few meters away. "I did want to see who was the one who could manipulate us like this. But if I remember correctly, I don't know you, and I've never seen you before."

“That’s right, I never said I knew you, Mrs. Zhan.”

Qiao Wanwan wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that he emphasized the words "Madam Zhan" particularly heavily.

Qiao Wanwan shrugged. "Since we don't know each other, could it be that I've offended you unintentionally?"

No, not at all.

"Ultimately, it all comes down to my feud with the person behind you." Qiao Wanwan smiled. "I'm really curious about who he is. As far as I can remember, I've never done anything immoral like digging up someone's ancestral grave."

"No rush, we'll meet again eventually." The man leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "If you're not going to kill me, does that mean you're going to let me go?"

"It seems you all expected this." Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Indeed, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. It's only natural that you would get caught for messing with my husband in the capital."

"There's no going back on many things, so I've already prepared for the worst." The man curled his lips into a mocking smile. "But judging from the current situation, I haven't reached the worst point yet. Are you all planning to let me go?"

"The person behind you certainly values ​​you highly," Qiao Wanwan sneered. "He wants to use my sister to get you back."

"So are you planning to switch?" the man asked. "I heard that Madam Zhan is a particularly kind and soft-hearted person, and I don't think she would abandon the younger sister she raised since childhood. So it seems that I am going to regain my freedom."

Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "I don't think physical freedom is true freedom. Isn't your soul bound? Otherwise, you wouldn't have killed your father, mother, and brother."

"Madam Zhan is indeed knowledgeable and knows how to strike at people's hearts."

"You flatter me," Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "Of course, someone like you is unlikely to be troubled by your conscience. However, you are not without merits. You are loyal and prepared to sacrifice for the people behind you. I hope that when the two of you die together in the future, you will truly have no regrets."

"Hahahaha..." The man burst into laughter. "Madam Zhan is very confident. No wonder so many men are attracted to and covet a woman as beautiful and confident as you. To be honest, if I hadn't already become your enemy, I might have also fallen for you."

"I'm sorry, you won't have that chance." Qiao Wanwan stood up and instructed, "Before you leave here, heal his injuries."

The bodyguard beside her nodded and said, "Yes, Madam."

The man smiled enigmatically, "Madam Zhan is indeed kind-hearted."

"Since I agreed to the exchange, of course I'll ensure your safety," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "I'll return you to him unharmed. If he breaks his promise and my sister suffers even the slightest harm, I guarantee I'll make him pay double..."

When Qiao Wanwan went out, Zhan Jingting also got up and came over.

"Jingting, I couldn't find out anything." Qiao Wanwan was a little frustrated.

Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"But I always felt that the way he looked at me was a little strange..."

"Any man would be amazed by you, that's normal."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"What kind of time is this to still be in the mood for jokes?"

I'm serious.

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle. "Let's go home."

"good."

On the way back to Wutong Bay, Qiao Wanwan specifically asked Jiang Dong about that number.

"Madam's guess is correct. The SIM card should have been removed and thrown away after the call to you, which is why it can't be traced," Jiang Dong reported. "I've already sent our people over there to check. The location where you were on the phone was by the sea."

"Maybe when I received the call, I had already been smuggled there by a boat. After making the call, I was transferred, saving myself the trouble of going back and forth," Qiao Wanwan analyzed.

"That makes sense."

"But the security there is extremely poor. It's a paradise for drug lords and criminals, and even the police can't control it. There are too many risks if we go there. We should bring more people with us."

"It would be good to bring more people, provided that the safety of Wutong Bay is guaranteed." Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhan Jingting beside her. "When shall we set off?"
