"Don't!"

Qi Jiu sneered, her face bearing an expression that said, "I guessed right."

"See, you just don't dare. If you call the police, your wife and children probably won't live for more than an hour."

A simple sentence caused a huge uproar in the room.

He Qingfeng and the others looked at each other, as if they didn't understand.

Yang Nan suddenly looked up, staring at her in shock, his lips trembling slightly, "You..."

"Am I right?"

Although the sentence was a question, there was no trace of surprise or delight at her guessing correctly on her face.

She seemed to have known about this all along.

Yang Nan's face was ashen, and he took his hand out of his pocket, which he had been pretending to reach for his phone. He exuded a sense of powerlessness.

Even though he didn't say anything, everyone else understood what he was doing.

Qi Jiu smiled and finally placed the sleeping potion she had obtained from Qi Silin the previous night in front of Yang Nan.

"Who gave you this? Who taught you how to use it?" Seeing the other person's feigned innocence, she changed her tune.

"Or rather, who is the person behind you, the one who is harming your wife and children? I have a bad temper. If you don't tell me, you're not leaving today."

Yang Nan pursed his lips, and after an unknown amount of time, he looked up at her with a pleading expression on his face.

"Girl, I know you're not a bad person, but my child and wife are still in someone else's hands, and I can't tell you that. Please let me go. Otherwise, my child and wife might really be dead!"

His face was full of pleading.

Upon hearing this, He Qingfeng and the others immediately looked at Qi Jiu.

She was right; everything she guessed in the study just now was correct.

That's amazing.

"But if I let you go, who will let the He family off the hook?"

The other party was clearly targeting the He family, but they didn't expect to encounter someone who could detoxify at this seminar.

Yang Nan panicked, "But they're perfectly fine now! If I don't leave, my wife and children will die!"

As he spoke, he launched into a torrent of words, as if a floodgate had suddenly been opened.

"I could have traded my life for my wife and children's! It's all your fault! Who told you to save me! Now look what's happened! My wife and children don't even know if they're alive or dead!"

He Qingfeng and the others: "..."

Wait a minute, isn't this kind of value system a bit... warped? Is saving someone wrong these days? If that's the case, who would dare to save someone?

When Yang Nan stopped speaking, the girl looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Finished?"

Yang Nan's emotions were somewhat unstable. After he finished speaking, his breathing was not very steady. Faced with the girl's irrelevant question, he simply turned his head away and ignored her.

Yes, she is a little stubborn.

Seeing this, Qi Jiu wasn't angry; she even smiled. "You've lived this long, how come you still haven't figured out how to live?"

"What do you mean!"

Yang Nan looked at Qi Jiu with great excitement, his brows furrowed. "Don't I know my own situation? I want to leave the He family right now!"

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but laugh. "Do you understand?"

Grandpa He glanced at Qi Jiu, and finally looked at Yang Nan with a look of disappointment and frustration.

What about people's intelligence these days?!

"Where is this? China, a country ruled by law, where everyone lives under the protection of the law. If the people behind you can threaten you with the lives of your wife and children, it proves that they are not afraid of Chinese law, and may not even be Chinese."

Seeing Yang Nan lost in thought, she didn't stop talking.

"What good are you to them? Trading your life for your wife and children? It's just a gimmick. Once you're dead, your wife and children will be worthless. Why should a desperate man keep a promise made by a dead man?"

They are all citizens of China, abide by Chinese laws, and are naturally protected by Chinese laws.

Now, whenever such an exceptional person appears around me, my brain feels like mush, and I can't make any sense at all!

Yang Nan was stunned, and then you could see the breakdown on his face.

"Then what am I supposed to do! Faced with those people, I can only obey their orders, so that my wife and children have a chance to live. But now, are you saying that my life or death is irrelevant?"

Yang Nan collapsed to the ground in a fit of despair.

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but now his eyes are red and his face is covered with tear stains. This matter has really driven him to a dead end.

Seeing him like this, Qi Jiu's smile became even more pronounced.

"There's another path before you, but I don't know if you... will you choose it?"

Yang Nan was stunned. He hadn't even had time to wipe away the tears on his face when he stared blankly at Qi Jiu.

"What road?"

Qi Jiu extended her index finger, and with a twist of her wrist, it finally pointed to herself, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Yang Nan was stunned. "You? You're not even 20 years old, are you? What can you do?"

Qi Jiu: "..." Oh no, I'm being looked down upon.

He Qingfeng and the others were taken aback, but were immediately amused by these words.

Qi Jiu cleared her throat, looked at Yang Nan, and smiled dangerously. "Although I'm young, I have a wide network of connections."

She scoffed, "You know the A City General Bureau, right? I have connections there."

Her rising tone and drawn-out delivery made her sound smug and even a little arrogant.

Yang Nan was taken aback, and slowly stood up from the ground. "Really?"

Suddenly, he fell silent again. "But didn't you just say that they might not even be Chinese? Can Chinese police handle cases like that?"

Chu Cangyu smiled and said, "Why not? This is China. No matter what nationality someone is, they can't run wild in China!"

Zhu Luoxing nodded in agreement from the side.

China is sacred and inviolable!

"Then..." Yang Nan hesitated for a moment, "If they escape abroad, will the police in China be unable to handle the case?"

Qi Jiu had clearly anticipated that he would ask this question, and her face remained completely calm.

"What if I said my connections are with Interpol?"

University A Laboratory.

Qi Jiu looked at Han Jiayin, who was still making a mess of her experiment at the front of the classroom, with no expression on her face.

They seem to have become accustomed to such things, and have gotten used to it.

He Qingfeng took off his gloves, looked at Qi Jiu who was observing the liquid, and pursed his lips.

"Junior, thank you. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again later."

They had all heard what was said at the He family's house, and this matter was not over yet. However, Qi Jiu was not a member of the He family, and thinking about it, she felt quite embarrassed.

The girl waved her hand dismissively.
