Hosokawa Matsuno attempted a sneak attack, but Ye Qingqing forcefully jabbed her with a needle. The aunt screamed in pain, "She's gone mad! Don't come any closer, you'll kill me!"

Ye Qingqing sneered, tightening her grip and pushing the golden needle a few more inch deeper. "You all better behave yourselves. If anything happens to me, none of you will survive!"

The Hosokawa Matsuno brothers had no choice but to stand still, their eyes filled with ruthlessness, a stark contrast to their previous polite demeanor. This family was inherently bloodthirsty, so it was not surprising that they would have such eyes.

"Miss Ye..." Qian He was very anxious, worried that Ye Qingqing would do something foolish.

"Shut up!"

Although Ye Qingqing had a gut feeling that this man was not an accomplice, she dared not take the risk. Before Lu Mo arrived, everyone here was a suspect.

Several men in black approached, they were the secret guards of the Xi Huo family, and they seemed to want to subdue her. Ye Qingqing thrust a little deeper, and the aunt's skirt was soaked, she was in a sorry state.

She was both scared and ashamed, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Ye Qingqing whispered coldly in her ear, "It seems your younger brothers would love for you to die!"

As she spoke, she pierced the gold needle a little deeper, leaving only half of it sticking out. It looked quite terrifying from the outside, but in fact, Ye Qingqing had a good grasp of the situation, and even if the whole gold needle had gone in, she wouldn't have died.

But the woman didn't know that she only felt a cold sensation in her neck, which slowly seeped into her carotid artery and then surged throughout her body, surrounding her heart. Her breathing became rapid, her pupils gradually dilated, and the color in her face slowly disappeared.

Ye Qingqing cursed her bad luck, having kidnapped a useless woman with a heart condition and now having to find a way to save her. She quickly inserted several needles into acupoints on the woman's back to temporarily protect her heart.

When the man in black was still a few meters away, she dragged the woman back to the wall, their backs against it to avoid being attacked from behind.

"Take one more step closer, and this woman will die!"

Ye Qingqing withdrew the golden needle and placed it on the woman's heart. The man in black, fearing for his life, dared not approach any further, but he had blocked all her escape routes.

She gave those people the middle finger, then took out her phone and dialed Lu Mo's number.

"Don't let her make the call!" Hosokawa Asano shouted.

Before the men in black could act, the call had already connected, and Lu Mo's voice came through. But before Ye Qingqing could answer, a beam of white light shot over, and the phone was sliced ​​in two.

A man in black threw a knife, destroying her phone.

Ye Qingqing blinked, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, anger surged to her head. Damn it, he actually threw a knife at her! If it had missed even a little, her finger would have been cut off.

"Miss Ye had better behave herself, or I can't guarantee your safety!" Hosokawa Matsuno said with a sinister smile.

Ye Qingqing swallowed hard, feigning anger, and said, "What do you want to do? Kidnap me?"

The call went through, and Lu Mo must have guessed that something had happened to her. She had called Lu Mo before coming here. Now all she needed to do was stall for time. Who knows what these lunatics were up to? Damn it!

Hosokawa Matsuno smiled slightly. "Of course it's not kidnapping. We just want to talk to Miss Ye about cooperation. If you are willing to cooperate with us, my father has only passed away. But if Miss Ye is not sincere, I think our consulate will not let Miss Ye off the hook."

"What kind of cooperation?" Ye Qingqing wanted to probe for information.

But the other party was a cunning old fox.

"This is not the place to talk. Miss Ye, please come with me to a private room to discuss this further!"

Hosokawa Matsuno shouted at the man in black, "Take Miss Ye to the secret room!"
