The moment the rope was untied, her gaze sharpened, and she turned around abruptly, grabbing something in her hand.
The man was caught off guard by Ji Zhinan's sudden change of expression. Everything happened so fast that by the time he realized what was happening, Ji Zhinan had already pinned him to the ground and restrained his hands and feet.
"Don't move!" Ji Zhinan's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light: "The things in my hands don't have eyes, or you'll lose your life!"
Feeling something pressed against his throat, the man sneered, "Trying to kill someone with a screwdriver? What a joke!"
He didn't take Ji Zhinan's threat seriously at all. A woman could kill someone? What a joke.
Before the man arrived, Ji Zhinan had already memorized everything piled up in the warehouse. There happened to be a toolbox in the corner containing screwdrivers.
Ji Zhinan gave a forced smile: "Sir, I bet you haven't thoroughly investigated me. I've been trained."
"..."
"What you see as a screwdriver, if I use just a little more force, will turn into a sharp blade and slit your throat."
"Sir, you know that the throat is an important organ for breathing and eating. If the throat is injured, one can die in just a few seconds."
The man struggled desperately, but his hands and feet were held down by Ji Zhinan, and he couldn't break free.
That's some real strength.
Now, the man completely believes Ji Zhinan's words.
She was strong enough to kill him with a screwdriver.
The man looked at her coldly: "Even if you kill me, the ship is full of our people, you still can't escape!"
"Really?" Ji Zhinan said dismissively, "The road to the underworld is so long, it would be good if you went to pave the way for me first."
Ji Zhinan smiled, then said, "You're in charge of this operation, right?"
"..."
"Let me guess. Judging from your arrogance, you must be the person Luo Yan has his eye on."
The man blushed as the truth was guessed.
"Even you're so useless, why should I be afraid of outsiders?"
Ji Zhinan was about to make his move when he spoke—
"Are you scared!" the man suddenly shouted.
He stared intently at Ji Zhinan, then suddenly sneered, "You're afraid."
The man's expression was full of provocation.
"What do you want to say?" Ji Zhinan pressed the screwdriver against his Adam's apple again.
"Hahahahaha..." The man suddenly burst into laughter: "I'll risk my life and the little brat in your belly to die together. After all, this is the root of the Gu, Luo, and Warrens families. It's worth it!"
Ji Zhinan's expression changed: "What do you mean?!"
The man didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, raising an eyebrow: "You're pregnant and you didn't know?"
"..."
Seeing her stunned expression, the man smiled: "Looks like you don't know."
Ji Zhinan snapped out of his daze and tightened his grip on the screwdriver: "Impossible!"
"Uh..." The man groaned in pain as his throat suddenly hurt.
How do you know?!
The screwdriver tip was embedded in the skin; Ji Zhinan could kill a man at any moment.
The man breathed heavily: "Why do you think you woke up? After bringing you onto the ship, our original plan was to give you an injection to make you sleep for several days and nights. It was the little one in your belly that saved your life. The master didn't let me kill the thing in your belly immediately because he wanted to use it to threaten the three major families."
The man chuckled as he spoke: "Not only that, but because of such a small thing, you dare not make any rash moves."
