"What exactly do you want?" Shen Zhi Qiu looked at her evil face and shrank back warily. She knew Xiao Wan Qing's methods all too well. Now that she was tied up, given Xiao Wan Qing's hatred for her, killing her would be too easy.
Moreover, no one could possibly come to this abandoned factory, so even if she died, Xiao Wanqing could easily escape unscathed.
Suddenly, Shen Zhi Qiu thought of the two kidnappers from earlier and couldn't help but ask, "Where are those two people?"
“He should be dead.” Xiao Wanqing smiled and touched her hair, then widened her eyes as if she had forgotten. “Oh, no, he might still have a breath left. After all, this poison doesn’t kill people that quickly; it just takes a short time for the poison to take effect.”
Seeing Xiao Wanqing speak these words so casually and calmly, Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but gasp, feeling her heart clench. The person who had just been standing alive in front of her was actually...
If Xiao Wanqing could kill two grown men so easily, how much easier would it be for her, who was tied up?
"Wanqing, stop now." Shen Zhi Qiu sighed. "You've already taken several lives. Don't make any more mistakes."
"Why should I listen to you? It's my business how many lives I have. People I don't like or don't want must die!" Xiao Wanqing laughed, playing with a strand of her hair, and said bitterly, "If it weren't for you, would I be in this state of being abandoned by everyone?"
As Xiao Wanqing spoke, she slowly approached Shen Zhi Qiu, and couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile as she looked at her bulging belly.
“Shen Zhi Qiu, tell me, if I push you off from here, will you die first or will the child die first?” Xiao Wan Qing slowly squatted down, smiling as she pointed to the area near the window. This abandoned factory didn’t even have proper railings outside the buildings; there were only a few crooked railings standing there haphazardly, seemingly offering no protection whatsoever.
Shen Zhi Qiu stared in the direction Xiao Wan Qing was pointing, a jolt of fear creeping into her heart. She forced herself to remain calm, suppressing her fear. She knew that at this moment, she could only go along with Xiao Wan Qing's emotions and try to buy time, hoping someone would find this place. Otherwise, she would surely die here tonight, and die a horrible death.
"Wanqing, how about we make a deal? It'll be better for both of us!" Shen Zhi Qiu carefully observed her expression and began to negotiate with her.
"What kind of deal?" Xiao Wanqing glanced at her with an unfriendly look, and didn't believe at all that she was there to talk about a deal, but she still couldn't help but want to know what she wanted to do.
"I can let you be with Gu Qingyan." Seeing that she had taken the bait, Shen Zhi Qiu quickly revealed the wager that interested her.
"Ha! What makes you think that even now, I would still want to be with Gu Qingyan? I'm going to be with..." Xiao Wanqing suddenly stopped, her expression filled with hatred.
Shen Zhi Qiu keenly noticed this. She was unaware of what had recently happened between Xiao Wan Qing and Fu Jing Ran, and therefore didn't know that Fu Jing Ran wanted to annul the engagement. However, Xiao Wan Qing's expression just now had already said everything; at the very least, the marriage wasn't going smoothly, and there must have been some unfavorable event for Xiao Wan Qing.
Knowing Xiao Wanqing's feelings for Gu Qingyan and her yearning for money and power, Shen Zhi Qiu calmly continued, "Marrying Fu Jingran is nothing compared to Gu Qingyan, isn't it? Gu Qingyan is definitely more handsome than Fu Jingran in terms of appearance, and in terms of power, the Gu family's power and status are unmatched in Nancheng."
Sure enough, Xiao Wanqing's expression softened noticeably after hearing Shen Zhi Qiu's words, and it was clear that she was carefully considering and pondering what Shen Zhi Qiu had said.
But thinking about Gu Qingyan's changed attitude towards her, Xiao Wanqing felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her expression turned fierce again.
"If it weren't for you! How could Qingyan treat me like this now! He used to be so good to me!" As she spoke, Xiao Wanqing's eyes reddened with grievance.
Seeing that Xiao Wanqing was lost in her own emotions, Shen Zhi Qiu knew that continuing like this would definitely be detrimental to her, so she quickly interrupted Xiao Wanqing's thoughts, "Look, you know that you and Gu Qingyan have a deep emotional foundation. You grew up together and have a bond that is different from mine, which was just arranged by our families. You can clear up many misunderstandings! Moreover, everyone knows how good Gu Qingyan has been to you over the years. He has feelings for you, otherwise why would he protect you again and again?"
"I can agree to that right now. I can divorce Gu Qingyan immediately. I've already signed the divorce papers. Gu Qingyan will receive them soon, and then I'll explain everything to him. Then you'll naturally become Mrs. Gu, won't you?"
Xiao Wanqing pursed her lips and remained silent. After thinking for a while, she looked at Shen Zhi Qiu and said with a cold smile, "There is an even simpler way, such as you dying! Then I will have no obstacles."
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, her mind racing, but Xiao Wan Qing couldn't wait any longer. She quickly stood up and used all her strength to drag Shen Zhi Qiu toward the edge of the floor.
Shen Zhi Qiu was terrified. She braced her feet against the ground, trying to stop herself by increasing friction.
But Xiao Wanqing was determined; all she wanted was for Shen Zhi Qiu to die, so she desperately tried to pull her away.
"Help! Help!" Shen Zhi Qiu screamed in terror, "I have a child! You can't do this to me!"
Xiao Wanqing's lips curled up, and she said in a sinister tone, "Only when the child dies will Qingyan be free of all worries. If I kill you, no one will be able to trace it back to me. Maybe you've been dead for a long time and everyone will just think you've disappeared. Plus, you ran away from home in a fit of pique last time, and if they can't find you, maybe they'll just think you ran away from Gu Qingyan."
“But secrets don’t stay hidden forever! If Gu Qingyan finds out one day that you killed me, I’ll spare my own life, but you also killed his two children! Do you think he can forgive you?!” Shen Zhi Qiu stomped her feet on the ground, her hands behind her back pressing down hard on the ground.
"That's because he knew. But look, this dark, abandoned factory has been deserted for years, how could anyone possibly know? I should thank those two good-for-nothings who kidnapped you; they might not be good at anything else, but they still picked a perfect place to kill you." Xiao Wanqing sneered, her expression becoming even more sinister and ruthless. She clenched her fists, her hatred for Shen Zhi Qiu completely ignited, and all she could think about was wanting her dead immediately!
"Let her go!" Suddenly, a bright light blinded Xiao Wanqing.
