When Song Shutian and his group pushed open the door, An Hong cried and begged them to interrogate her, saying she would never need Jiang Qiao again.

"I beg you, please let her go! I'll tell you everything, really, I can't take it anymore. She's not human, she's a monster—"

Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "Compared to you, you are the devils. I was just giving them a taste of their own medicine. What were you thinking when you tried to assassinate me? Were you all eager for me to die?"

An Hong said tearfully, "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't hurt you. I'm all over the place, where would I go to hurt you?"

You need to settle accounts with the people who harmed you. Go find Lone Wolf. I have no grudge against you, you can't treat me like this."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Who told you to get on the wrong ship? If you had just confessed honestly, everything would have been fine."

Do you really think you're made of iron, able to withstand anything? You're just a mortal, don't gamble with your life. "A wise man submits to circumstances"—you guys said that back then, and I'm giving it to you now.

Be honest, don't bully kind people. I'm standing right outside, so don't lie, you hear me?

The next sentence made An Hong tremble again; she was genuinely scared and unconsciously began to nod.

Song Shutian gestured for Zhang Dalei and Jiang Qiao to go out. "Oh dear, our section chief is still kind-hearted. Jiang Qiao, did you bring the medicine?"

Jiang Qiao snorted twice and tossed Zhang Dalei a pack of gauze and a bottle of medicine.

"This will stop the pain and bleeding, one treatment is enough. Take the rest back, don't give it to her. It's made of good stuff, it's a waste to use it on her. If we weren't here, I would definitely give her a good talking-to. Does she really think we're easy to bully? You're just letting her get away with it. She's blind—"

Zhang Dalei gave a thumbs up and said, "Well said! I've been wanting to say this for a long time. This bastard only behaved after I dragged you here. She almost made me explode with anger before."

She spoke with such self-righteousness, as if we were in the wrong and had wronged her.

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Those people have specialized training in this. We comrades have only accumulated experience little by little in the process of fighting against the enemy. To be honest, those people are indeed more formidable after their training."

However, they are not without weaknesses—”

Zhang Dalei looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise, "Weakness? What weakness? And it's universal? How come I didn't know that?"

Jiang Qiao chuckled, "Everyone has weaknesses. No one is perfect. Being afraid of death is a common trait. I'm afraid of death too, but they aren't?"

They're formidable. You have to be even more formidable than them. Whoever gains the psychological advantage will have the upper hand. That's all, hehe—"

Zhang Dalei shook his head helplessly. "I really didn't think that much about it, but what you said is right. At least this An Hong, she's afraid of pain, to put it bluntly, she's also afraid of dying."

"When you came in, this guy was trembling with fear. Sigh, when will I ever be able to work like you? Then all my work won't have been for nothing."

Jiang Qiao waved her hand and said, "Don't be like that. What kind of reputation do I have? In the eyes of the enemy, I'm probably no different from a tigress."

Besides, I've already died once, and how many times have I almost died?

Don't you dare learn anything good. Just stay safe and sound. I earned my fear by risking my life. What do you think?

Sigh, you have no idea what it was like when I woke up and saw my family. I felt like I could eat them alive.

Those petty tricks, to be honest, really can't quell my anger. I've spent the best years of my life in a hospital bed, completely unaware of what was happening. Do you know how hard it is for me to adapt to this situation? Sigh, it's a long story—"

Zhang Dalei wasn't in a hurry to go in. He needed to make the other person feel the pain so they would know what they should and shouldn't do.

"Alright, you can go in now. If you keep hurting like this, you probably won't have the energy to answer any questions."

After Song Shutian and his team finished their interrogation, the group went back together.

On the way, Cao Mingyuan muttered to himself, "Who exactly is this Wang Benshan? Is he one of them? How come An Hong doesn't know?"

Song Shutian replied, "I estimate that he is even more deeply hidden than Zhu Yunshan. If we hadn't been forced to do this, Zhu Yunshan wouldn't have been able to give us leverage so quickly."

"Go back and have someone issue an arrest warrant for Ding Peng immediately. That bastard is using an alias; he's cunning enough."

"What about Zhu Yunshan? Is he still alive?"

Song Shutian shook his head. "Keep it. Use it to lure Wang Benshan out. Tomorrow, the little mute will go and contact Zhu Yunshan."

Now that Song Shutian had already planned the next steps, Jiang Qiao didn't ask any more questions. Going back to rest was the most important thing.

After Jiang Qiao left, Zhang Dalei secretly asked Cao Mingyuan, "Hey, how many times did Jiang Qiao stab him?"

Cao Mingyuan chuckled and patted his colleague on the shoulder. "Don't ask how much, I don't know either. Jiang Qiao has her own sense of propriety. She won't let anyone die so easily. Of course, that woman will have to suffer a bit."

He could say that Jiang Qiao stabbed him and then sprinkled some salt on the wound, which disinfected it, but actually made the pain worse.

However, it was fortunate that Jiang Qiao intervened. If you had tried with someone else, would An Hong have been dealt with so easily? This woman is the type who won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin.

Cao Mingyuan knew that reasoning with these people was pointless; they wouldn't listen. Just like his third uncle, in the end, Jiang Qiao had to step in.

He sighed, "Sometimes we have too many constraints when we do things. It's good that Jiang Qiao is like this. That girl knows that she's here to be our vanguard. She's very sensible."

Zhang Dalei's eyes widened. "Jiang Qiao really said that?"

Cao Mingyuan patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "You haven't known Jiang Qiao for very long. But once you've known him for a while, you'll understand that he's someone we can absolutely rely on. Just know that."

Zhang Dalei gave a wry smile. "Actually, I'm quite envious of someone like Jiang Qiao—"

Cao Mingyuan shook his head. "If you say this to Jiang Qiao, she will definitely tell you not to be envious."

This one sentence was enough to surprise Zhang Dalei: "My God, how come you said the same thing as Jiang Qiao?"

Cao Mingyuan raised an eyebrow. "Because I've spent a lot of time with Jiang Qiao. You don't understand Jiang Qiao. She has never wanted to be famous, and she doesn't care about reputation issues. She just lives a very real and down-to-earth life. However, even this is difficult for her."

Before her accident, her family members had been targeted by malicious schemes, but she managed to resolve them all. That's why she said, "Don't be envious. Actually, I'm not envious of her; I just feel sorry for this child."

In time, you'll naturally understand—

Zhang Dalei sighed, "No wonder that girl said that to me. To be honest, in our line of work, we don't think about ourselves, as long as our families are safe and sound. Sigh, I understand now. Jiang Qiao, you're truly admirable."
