Chapter 144 A Silent Trial! You are not worthy to scream!
The office door was ajar.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Wu reached out and gently pushed him.
"Squeak—"
The old door hinges made a grating sound that carried far into the quiet night.
The view inside the door was completely visible.
The three men lay sprawled on the ground, fast asleep like logs.
There were still uneaten peanuts and several bottles of cheap liquor on the table.
The air was filled with a nauseating smell of smoke, alcohol, and sweat.
The man in the lead was burly, with a hideous scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin.
Even when he was asleep, his face still carried a fierce look.
He is Zhao Jianjun.
Jiang Wu's gaze fell on him like a knife.
She slowly walked in and closed the door behind her.
The whole process was completely silent.
She walked up to Zhao Jianjun and looked down at him.
There was no anger or hatred in his eyes, only indifference.
It's like looking at something that's already dead.
She lifted her foot and gently kicked Zhao Jianjun's face with the tip of her shoe.
"Wake up."
The sound wasn't loud, but it pierced Zhao Jianjun's nerves with the precision of a needle.
"Hmm..."
Zhao Jianjun let out a painful groan, his eyelids trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The vision went from blurry to clear.
A breathtakingly beautiful yet chillingly cold face appeared before him.
"Who...who are you?"
Zhao Jianjun was still a little dazed, and he asked subconsciously.
He suddenly realized what was happening!
He had seen this face countless times in Qin Lie's files!
It's Jiang Wu!
Qin Lie's country wife!
"You...how did you get here?!"
Zhao Jianjun's pupils contracted sharply, and a huge, ominous premonition instantly enveloped his entire body!
He tried to get up but found that his whole body was sore and weak and he couldn't muster any strength.
The other two accomplices were still unconscious on the ground.
"It's you! What did you do to us?!" Zhao Jianjun cried out in terror.
Jiang Wu did not answer him.
She simply crouched down slowly to look him in the eye.
"Zhao Jianjun".
She uttered the name softly.
"Three years ago, a command error during an exercise nearly cost the lives of hundreds of soldiers."
"After being forcibly wiped out, instead of showing remorse, they blamed Qin Lie, who exposed you and saved the battle."
"After lying low for three years, they colluded with foreign forces, kidnapped military families, and attempted to murder important national generals."
With each sentence Jiang Wu spoke, Zhao Jianjun's face paled a little more.
How could she know so much?!
"Who...who sent you? Was it the National Security Bureau? Or the police?" Zhao Jianjun's voice was filled with fear.
In his view, this must be a trap set by Qin Lie!
They fell for their trap!
Who I am is not important.
Jiang Wu extended a finger and gently touched his brow.
A cold, destructive spiritual force instantly invaded his consciousness!
Soul Search!
This is an extremely domineering secret technique of the Hehuan Sect!
It can forcibly read the other person's memories!
Of course, with Jiang Wu's current cultivation level, she cannot achieve such precision.
But it's more than enough to access some of the most recent and intense memories.
"ah--!"
Zhao Jianjun suddenly let out a scream that was not human!
He felt as if a red-hot steel needle had been plunged into his head and was being violently stirred!
Countless memories flashed uncontrollably through Jiang Wu's mind.
How he got in touch with the Lu family through an old subordinate.
How did the Lu family give him a large sum of money and provide him with this hiding place?
How a man dressed in black robes, whose face was obscured, taught him to use a special spell to create a brief "blind spot" when kidnapping the child, thus fooling the guards.
The man in black robes was codenamed "Black Crow"!
He even saw Zhao Jianjun's next plan!
After obtaining the money or killing Qin Lie, the Lu family would arrange for him to smuggle himself out of the country through a secret channel!
All the plans, all the details, all the contacts...
Everything was laid bare at this moment!
A few seconds later, Jiang Wu withdrew her finger.
Zhao Jianjun lay on the ground like a fish out of water, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
His eyes were filled with nothing but endless fear.
The woman in front of me is not human!
She's a devil!
"The Lu family... Black Crow..."
Jiang Wu softly murmured the two names, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.
very good.
We can settle both old and new grudges together.
"You...you can't kill me!" Zhao Jianjun finally broke down when he saw the undisguised murderous intent in Jiang Wu's eyes.
“I am a fugitive from the country! You should hand me over to the law! If you kill me, you will also be breaking the law!” he shouted hoarsely.
"law?"
Jiang Wu smiled.
That smile was breathtakingly beautiful, yet it carried an indescribable eeriness and cruelty.
"for me."
"I am the law."
Before she finished speaking, she struck again!
This time, it's not about searching for souls.
She took out three silver needles as thin as cow hair from her storage space.
This was her treasure from her past life—the "Bone-Eating Needle"—used to torment those stubborn "righteous people."
Those who are hit by the needle will not die immediately.
But in the next forty-nine days, they will experience the most extreme suffering imaginable.
Every inch of bone felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants.
Unable to live, unable to die.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three streaks of silver light flashed!
Three silver needles silently pierced the bodies of the three kidnappers on the ground.
After doing all this, Jiang Wu stood up without even glancing at them again.
She calmly walked to the office phone.
This phone was the only tool the kidnappers used to contact the outside world.
She picked up the phone and skillfully dialed the number for the Capital Military Region headquarters.
"Connect me to Commander Liao's office."
Her voice regained its usual coolness and calmness.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, who is this?" came the wary voice of Commander Liao's secretary from the other end of the phone.
"I am Jiang Wu."
"Mrs. Jiang... Mrs. Jiang?!" The secretary's voice changed instantly. "Where... where are you now? We..."
"No need to look anymore," Jiang Wu interrupted him calmly.
"Notify Qin Lie that I have found the person."
"The kidnappers have all been subdued."
"The location is the abandoned No. 7 Cement Plant in Fangshan District, specifically the office on the third floor of the main production building."
"Let them come and... collect the body."
