His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But he didn't say anything.
He knew that Shen Qingtang's mind was focused on getting the truth, so there was no need to cause trouble. However, the possessiveness in his eyes intensified.
Shen Qingtang took out the medicine that Xiao Che had mentioned (which had been prepared in advance) from her spatial storage, walked up to Lin Peirou, pinched her chin, and forcibly poured the medicine down her throat.
In a short while, Lin Peirou began to convulse, the veins on her face bulging, and she let out a shrill wail that sounded inhuman and sent chills down one's spine.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Lu Jin completely broke down when he saw Lin Peirou's miserable state, and begged for mercy repeatedly, "We really don't know the men in black! They found us and threatened us with our lives, making us keep an eye on you and Nian'an! They also said that as long as we catch Nian'an, they will release our family!"
"Were you involved in the design back then?" Shen Qingtang pressed, her eyes fixed sharply on him.
Lu Jin trembled and dared not hide anything: "It was...we were bewitched, we took their money, helped them spread some false information, and fueled the fire...We really didn't know their background, nor did we know why they were targeting you!"
Shen Qingtang looked at his tearful appearance without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
She raised her hand and fired a shot into each of their knees, completely crippling their legs. She said coldly, "Take them back and keep a close eye on them. Once I've found out more about the men in black, I'll deal with them slowly."
The spirit servants immediately stepped forward and dragged the two away like dead dogs.
Xiao Che watched Shen Qingtang's retreating figure, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Yue stood there, staring at the bloodstains on the ground, her face still pale.
My respect for Shen Qingtang has grown even stronger.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, and recalling Shen Qingtang's cold and ruthless demeanor just now, Xiao Yue trembled with fear.
He didn't even dare to glance at Shen Qingtang.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Che beside her, only to find that her brother was staring intently at Shen Qingtang's back, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
Instead, it carried a sense of inquiry and appreciation that she couldn't understand.
This made Xiao Yue even more panicked. She knew Xiao Che's personality all too well.
He appears gentle and mild-mannered, but is actually deep and thoughtful, and never easily focuses his attention on anyone.
But now, his attitude towards Shen Qingtang is clearly different, which makes her both afraid and uneasy.
Shen Qingtang was ruthless by nature.
If she gains the favor of her elder brother, who will be able to restrain her in the future?
"Brother...we...we should leave..."
Xiao Yue tugged at Xiao Che's sleeve, her voice trembling noticeably.
Xiao Che snapped out of his daze, glanced at her, and nodded slightly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said in Shen Qingtang's direction, "Miss Shen, if you need any help, please feel free to contact me." After saying that, he turned and left with Xiao Yue, who was still in shock.
Shen Qingtang did not turn around.
She simply waved her hand, indicating that she understood. Then, she had her servants drag the unconscious Lu Jinlin Peirou back to the manor and imprison her.
He then took a sample of Pei Nian'an's hair with him.
With a thought, she activated her time-travel ability. The next second, she appeared in a modern laboratory.
Here lay the paternity testing equipment she had prepared in advance. She skillfully placed her and Pei Nian'an's hair samples into the equipment and pressed the start button. The equipment hummed as it operated.
Shen Qingtang's heart raced. She both hoped the result would confirm that Pei Nian'an was her biological son, and felt a vague unease, fearing that this would uncover more complicated conspiracies.
Meanwhile, in Luanshi Village...
