Three men came in with Duan Cai.
What he was holding in his hands were ropes and burlap sacks...
These are not the standard folders and notebooks provided to grid workers.
Lin Yifan and Shen Qinggang realized that something was slightly off.
They were tied up!
They were blindfolded, had cloth bags put on them, and got into a van.
I was terrified and bumped around in the dark for more than two hours.
When the hood was removed.
Shen Qing discovered that he had indeed been taken to a deserted forest.
She was so frightened that she lost her composure, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably...
However, his mouth was taped shut, so he couldn't make a sound!
Lin Yifan, standing to the side, hadn't had his hood removed.
He was being brutally punched, kicked, and beaten by three men.
Lin Yifan quickly fell completely silent...
When they got tired of fighting, one of them picked up two shovels.
The other two dragged Lin Yifan and threw him into the pit that had been dug beforehand.
Seeing this, Shen Qing was terrified!
He was muttering something rapidly under his breath, as if he wanted to say something...
"Quiet down! What's all the noise about!"
Duan Cai impatiently tore off Shen Qing's tape.
"Big brother, spare me!"
"I'll give you anything, please let me go, please, please!"
As soon as the tape came off, Shen Qing burst into tears.
He Kun's words were still echoing in her mind.
But she dared not ask anything, dared not say anything...
"Spare my life? Why should I spare your life?"
"I'm doing this for money. If I spare your life, I'll be fine."
"I only spared your men's fists because you're a woman."
"Don't worry, I'll knock you out before I bury you. It won't hurt!"
Duan Cai, smoking a cigarette, said indifferently.
"Big brother..."
“I have elderly parents and a 12-year-old brother back in my hometown.”
"They all depend on me to support them; they can't live without me!"
"Big brother, please have mercy!"
"I won't say anything, I've forgotten everything."
"If you let me go, I'll go back to my hometown right away and never come back again in this lifetime."
Please, please!
This moment.
Shen Qing was really thinking about her parents and younger brother.
They forgot all about climbing the social ladder and the pursuit of wealth and glory.
I just want to live!
"Oh, so you're saying you know who sent me to do this?"
"Then we absolutely cannot let you stay!"
Duan Cai stubbed out his cigarette without any politeness and was about to put the hood back on.
"I'll give you the money!"
"One million, I'll give you it all!"
"If you let me go, I'll transfer it to you right away!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Shen Qing gritted his teeth.
She finally revealed her trump card and went all in...
Over the years, he has taken advantage of many people, including Lu Fan and Lin Yifan, to make a lot of money.
This was practically her life savings, something she was supposed to never touch, no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Duan Cai stopped what he was doing.
To be honest, he was actually a little tempted!
But after hesitating for a while...
He gave up.
If we actually take this money, the situation will become even more serious.
"Every industry has its rules, and I can't help you with that!"
Duan Cai shook his head.
Shen Qing completely broke down...
She began to wail and cry her heart out—
"Big brother, please let me go."
"In my next life, I will definitely repay you by being your ox or horse."
"I was wrong, this is all my retribution..."
"God, I know I was wrong! I, Shen Qing, know I was wrong!"
"Father, Mother, your daughter is unfilial and has let you down."
"Little brother, I'm not a good person, I'm so sorry..."
She cried so hard it moved heaven and earth.
Then Duan Cai was also "moved"—
"Hey girl, looks like you're having a tough time too..."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Qing felt as if she had seen a ray of light in her despair.
Another round of pleading and emotional appeals ensued.
"Why……"
"I'm just a soft-hearted person."
"I can release you, but you must agree to a few requests!"
Duan Cai looked quite conflicted and troubled.
"Big brother, what do you mean..."
"I promise, I swear, I promise!"
Shen Qing cried tears of joy.
"Leave Nancheng and never come back!"
"Also, you can't go back to your hometown in Sichuan!"
As he spoke, Duan Cai opened the photo album on his phone.
He held it up to Shen Qing and said in a deep voice, "See this? Your whole family is here."
“If you go back, everything will be exposed.”
"Not only will no one be able to save you then, but I will also suffer!"
Upon seeing her parents and younger brother in the photo, Shen Qing trembled.
The photo was taken just yesterday!
"Okay, big brother!"
"I will leave Nancheng forever and never go back to my hometown!"
I swear!
Shen Qing solemnly swore.
"Also, you absolutely must not tell anyone about my boss!"
"You absolutely mustn't tell!"
"I don't need to emphasize how powerful my boss is, do I?"
"These people, even if they're unlucky."
"Crushing us would be an easy thing to do!"
Duan Cai continued to use seemingly kind words to "threaten" him.
"I know!"
"I'll keep Gao Dong's matter a secret for the rest of my life."
"I……"
Before Shen Qing could finish speaking, Duan Cai violently interrupted him, saying, "Shut up!"
"Didn't I tell you not to talk? You still talked!"
"Not a single word can be mentioned!"
Duan Cai's face immediately darkened.
Shen Qing immediately slapped herself repeatedly in frustration.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
He slapped her more than a dozen times, until her face was almost swollen.
"Alright, alright!"
"Let's go quickly..."
Finally, never mention that you've met me!
Duan Cai "helplessly" put the hood back on Shen Qing.
They pulled her back into the van.
Then, after a couple of calls, the other three men pulled Lin Yifan out of the pit.
Refill the soil...
They got into two different vans and disappeared into the night.
"This woman is truly heartless."
"From beginning to end, Lin Yifan was never mentioned once."
She doesn't care at all whether her boyfriend lives or dies...
After finishing his business, Duan Cai sighed to himself.
It always feels like letting a tiger return to the mountain...
——
Tang Palace No. 1, the VIP box.
Lu Fan finally got to have dinner with his future father-in-law, Jiang Hetang.
He booked the best private room and ordered the most expensive dishes.
I'm getting ready for a conversation between men with Jiang Hetang.
Of course, there was also an old man acting as a third wheel, Dean Huang Youdao...
Clearly, they were the ones who started this meal!
