"Honey, the witness has been murdered. What are you going to do next?"
Song Ning was a little worried.
"From now on, we can only remain inactive."
Huo Beian sighed, then frowned. "But there's something strange about you, wife. Don't you think so?"
"What?"
"How did Lian Sino know that we had found Jin Keli? And how did she know that we met up and killed him? Our plan this time was very secretive."
After Huo Beian's analysis, Song Ning immediately began to review the situation as well, and it was indeed very strange.
"Honey, do you mean someone leaked the news beforehand?"
Song Ning frowned, starting to think, "This plan was clearly only known to you, me, and Zhu Yichen. It's impossible for you and me to have leaked it, so could it be..."
She suddenly pulled her leg up and shouted, "Could it be Zhu Yichen?"
Huo Beian frowned. "It's hard to say. We can only say that he's also a suspect. Let's not alert him for now. Honey, don't trust him too much either."
With that in mind, he immediately dialed his assistant's number, "Help me check Zhu Yichen's background, the more detailed the better."
"Yes, Mr. Lian."
After hanging up the phone, Song Ning couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what do you think of your assistant? Is he reliable?"
"He should be fairly reliable. He was indebted to Lian Sicheng, who saved his mother and helped him go to university. He shouldn't betray Lian Sicheng."
Song Ning fell silent. If it wasn't her assistant who leaked the information, could it really be Zhu Yichen?
This Zhu Yichen seems to be both righteous and wicked, and he speaks very nonsensically, giving her an unpredictable feeling.
After all, they didn't know him very well, hadn't known him for very long, and didn't understand him.
But if he really did leak the information, what would his purpose be?
Song Ning didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.
But my husband must have his reasons for saying that.
"Okay, honey, I understand."
...
On the other side.
On the outskirts of Beijing, there is a hidden underground club.
A man wearing a gold mask sat in an executive chair, holding a wine glass and sipping his wine.
Lian Sino walked over and said respectfully, "Boss, as you instructed, Jin Keli is dead. There is no evidence left now."
“Very good.” The man turned around, picked up his wine glass, and spoke in a cold, electronic voice through a voice changer hidden in his mask, “However, you didn’t handle things well this time—”
After saying that, he slammed the wine glass down on Lian Sino's head.
Red wine dripped down his hair, and Lian Sino couldn't help but tremble, quickly closing her eyes.
"I'm sorry, boss. I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Do you think you'll do it again?
The man smashed the wine glass on the ground. Soon, two men in black came over, forced Lian Sino to the ground and made him kneel down. One of them pressed his hands on the table, while the other picked up a knife and raised it high.
"You're so clumsy, chop off your hand."
The man spoke in a cold, clear voice, and upon his command, the man in black raised his knife high.
"No, boss, help... I was wrong... I'm willing to pay any price, please don't cut off my hand..."
Lian Sino was so terrified that she even wet her pants.
The knife suddenly fell between his fingers.
"Five million," the man said coldly.
"Okay, okay."
The man in black then released him, and Lian Sino quickly took out a card from her pocket and handed it to him.
The man took the card, swiped it on the POS machine, and instantly, the money was transferred to an anonymous overseas account.
"roll."
"Thank you, boss."
Lian Sino scrambled to the door, where the man in black put a blindfold on him before taking him away.
Upon returning to the Lian family's old house, Lian Sino was in a complete panic.
He couldn't help but spit and curse, "Hmph, what kind of stinky boss is he? Why does he have to wear a mask and act all mysterious? If he's so capable, he should show his face."
By the way, he had never seen this boss before; he always wore a mask.
This leader is also unpredictable, making it difficult to understand his preferences.
He only managed to kill Lian Sino with the boss's permission.
He was also very curious about the true identity of this boss...
Meanwhile, at the underground club, just after Lian Sino left, an old lady was brought over.
"Boss, this lady wants to see you; she needs your help. This is her pledge of loyalty."
The man in black handed him a bank card.
The man took the bank card, swiped it, and the money immediately went into his overseas account.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
The old lady, Qiu Ya's mother, immediately knelt down. "Please, sir, help me rescue my daughter Qiu Ya. She's my only daughter. I'll agree to anything you ask if you can save her!"
"Qiu Ya?" The man chuckled. "Everyone knows that Qiu Ya was taken away at her wedding to Lian Sicheng, and the entire Qiu family fell from grace. That's quite a difficult situation."
"My lord, I'll do anything! I beg you."
Qiu Ya's mother began to kowtow.
"Then sell Qiu Ya to me. I'm short a maid. She's quite pretty." The man in black spoke with a mocking tone, making it unclear whether he was joking or serious.
"What, this..." Qiu Ya's mother was a little nervous.
"If you don't want to, then please leave. No refunds will be given."
"Okay! I'm willing!"
Qiu Ya's mother thought that being this man's maid was better than spending her whole life in prison.
"Okay, it's settled. Sign it. There's no going back."
He handed her a contract.
After thinking about it, Qiu Ya's mother signed the contract.
"Very good, wait for my news." The man put the contract away, a smirk playing on his lips.
...
Right now, in prison.
Qiu Ya huddled in a dark, damp corner, shivering.
Her fingernails dug deeply into her palms, her teeth clenched. He truly hated Song Ning and Lian Sicheng.
The two of them conspired to get themselves into prison.
They joined forces to destroy the Qiu family.
She lost everything.
There's nothing left...
She desperately wanted revenge; she needed to get out...
Someone please save her...
At that moment, a prison guard came over and said to her, "Qiu Ya, someone wants to see you."
Qiu Ya suddenly looked up, wondering who would come to see her now that things were so tense and chaotic, with everyone on the verge of collapse.
She quickly followed behind, and they walked to the visiting room.
She is her mother.
"Mom, get me out of here? I've really had enough of this place. I don't want to stay here for another day."
"Qiu Ya, don't worry, you'll be out soon. Just wait a little longer."
Hearing that she could go out, Qiu Ya was very happy. "Mom, can I really go out?"
Because of time constraints during the visit, there were many things that couldn't be said. Qiu Ya's mother knew she couldn't say too much, so she could only nod through the glass and give her a look.
Qiu Ya immediately understood.
