None of the people present were vicious criminals, and they all stopped in their tracks upon hearing Bi Qiaoan's words.
They were cowards, afraid of breaking their legs.
After Bi Qiaoan knocked Che Cunzhou unconscious, she looked at everyone one by one.
Her gaze was sharp and cold, enough to scare anyone into breaking out in a cold sweat.
No one dared to meet her gaze; in fact, a few cowards left a pool of foul-smelling liquid dripping from their feet.
Bi Qiaoan ignored them and said, "Now, who among you can tell me what's going on with the bearded man? If you're lying or trying to hide something, don't blame me for leaving you here forever."
The people at the scene just looked at each other, but no one said a word.
Without further ado, Bi Qiaoan picked a shifty-looking guy and smacked him on the shoulder with a stick.
"Ouch, that hurts! Please have mercy, big sister!" The man immediately knelt down before Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan pressed the steel bar against his temple: "Confess honestly, or I'll make you confess!"
The lewd man originally wanted to hide it, but given the current situation, if the woman exerted even a little force, he could go blind or die.
He didn't dare to be ambiguous and sold out the bearded man completely.
He recounted everything without reservation, from the initial fair trade with women to the later kidnapping due to food shortages, the eventual savagery and bloodshed, and the enticement of them to share mutton.
Bi Qiaoan's expression grew colder as she listened.
She considered transactions normal and acceptable. Even kidnapping wasn't a big deal. But these perverts actually drank blood and ate flesh—were they even human? They were worse than animals!
Shen Yanming was also furious, rummaging through his inventory: "Wife, we can't let these people live. They've opened the floodgates, so they're very likely to go astray again in the future. We have to nip them in the bud."
Maybe these people can change their ways, but who can guarantee that? And since they dared to sleep with that girl, they have to pay the price for their actions.
Several girls at the scene turned pale with fright upon hearing this. Hou Yongzhi and Gong Mengjiao, in particular, vomited.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything.
Gong Mengjiao didn't think much of it, but Hou Yongzhi felt a chill run down her spine.
If she had known Bi Qiaoan was so capable and could control the situation, she wouldn't have said those things. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in this predicament, pleasing neither side.
At the same time, he hated Bi Qiaoan even more.
She clearly had the ability to stop the killing, but she only offered her help after revealing her true intentions.
Hou Yongzhi felt that Bi Qiaoan was definitely doing it on purpose, deliberately making her look bad, deliberately watching her make a fool of herself, and even deliberately letting her get caught by the bearded man.
Bi Qiaoan heard Shen Yanming remind her again: "That woman can't be kept alive."
She gave a barely audible "hmm" and looked at the crowd standing in a row again.
They're all a bunch of cowards who only care about the weak. Once she sets her authority, no one dares to misbehave.
Bi Qiaoan asked, "Have you all eaten human flesh?"
"No, no, we were forced to come here by them," Che Cunzhou's accomplice said at this moment.
"Yes, yes, they found us around noon and, taking advantage of their numbers, beat us up. Look, I still have wounds on my body!"
As he spoke, the man took off his shirt. Bi Qiaoan looked and, sure enough, there were two black footprints.
They all guessed what Bi Qiaoan was concerned about, so they were trying their best to save their lives.
"Yeah, boss lady, if they hadn't wanted to eat us, we'd still be gnawing on tree bark in the park."
"Although tree bark is unpalatable and doesn't fill you up, it's still a plant, so we feel safe eating it. Unlike Big Beard and his gang, they're just too heartless." Some of the more astute ones started to empathize.
Bi Qiaoan wasn't fooled and said coolly, "Then why did you come here? Isn't it because you also have thoughts of eating meat?"
"No, no, no, that's not it!" These people quickly jumped out to explain, "We didn't want to, but if we didn't come, Big Beard and his men would kill us. Besides, it was Che Cunzhou who suggested coming here."
"Yes, it's that guy surnamed Zhou. He said there were women here with tender flesh, and he used that to curry favor and join the bearded man's group."
"Yes, yes, that Zhou guy is no good. He had lustful thoughts about you when you first came ashore. This time he even wanted to apply to... you know... with you before we ate. It's only because Boss Hu also had his eye on you that Che Cunzhou didn't dare to compete..."
The man regretted his words as he spoke, so his voice grew softer and softer. But Bi Qiaoan heard him clearly and could even guess what he was saying.
Not to mention the jealous person in the space, who wished she could rush out and cut off that pervert's third leg.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, signaling him to continue.
"Heroine, that's all I wanted to say. We're really not bad people. If they hadn't forced us, we wouldn't have dared to cause trouble. Please, have mercy on us, okay?"
Bi Qiaoan remained silent, but the second-in-command of the gang couldn't sit still any longer.
As he watched Qiao An get closer and closer, he quietly clenched his fists.
He lowered his head to hide the malice in his eyes, thinking that as soon as the person got close, he would step forward and grab her by the neck, making her unable to resist.
The man had a beautiful dream, but little did he know that Bi Qiaoan had already discovered his intentions.
He moved closer silently, and when he was still a meter away, he raised the steel bar and brought it down directly on the man's head. The move was so brutal that it smashed a large hole in the man's skull, and blood gushed out.
"What are you doing? Why do you hit people all the time?" a clueless henchman asked.
Bi Qiaoan glared at him coldly, and the man trembled before realizing what a stupid thing he had done.
“Go, pry his hands open,” Bi Qiaoan said.
"Oh!" The younger brother was stunned for a moment, then obeyed Bi Qiaoan's instructions and pried the man's hands off.
His left hand was empty, with nothing in it, but his right hand concealed a razor blade, which almost sliced off his younger brother's finger.
"Big, big sister?" Only then did the younger brother realize why Bi Qiaoan had taken action.
Moreover, he was deeply terrified because he was so close to the man and hadn't noticed anything amiss.
But this woman not only discovered it, she also took preventative measures, nipping the danger in the bud.
Absolutely, evil!
The younger brother held the razor blade in both hands, unsure what to do. Bi Qiaoan stepped forward, picked it up, and glanced at it in the moonlight: "It's quite sharp!"
The younger brother didn't know what to say, so he knelt down like a perverted man.
"Who is he?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
"Second, the second-in-command. He's the first to support many of Boss Hu's decisions. He's also the first to eat the meat."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and stopped making things difficult for him.
He said to the crowd, "Those who have eaten meat and those who haven't, stand in two rows. No cheating allowed. You all keep an eye on each other. If anyone tries to get away with it, see what will happen to them?"
Bi Qiaoan's ruthlessness made everyone afraid to lie.
Those who have eaten meat know they won't have a good ending, so they stand still.
Those who were forced to join, on the other hand, thought they hadn't done anything too serious, and at most they'd get a beating and then be able to leave. So they were particularly enthusiastic and lined up in a row.
