Lu Qing gritted her teeth and turned to look at Zhou Li, but did not argue with him.
She's not stupid; provoking Zhou Li at this moment will do him no good and will only result in a more brutal beating.
So she chose to keep quiet, lower her head but refused to admit her mistake, because she knew it would be useless to admit it.
Judging from the four people's attitude towards her, she was bound to suffer this time.
I just hope Mr. Han can find her quickly and get her out of danger, otherwise he will be doomed this time.
The third brother glanced at Zhou Li and said, "This woman is pretty, though a bit vicious. Should we kill her or sell her?"
Zhou Li shook his head and said, "I haven't called Xiaowei in a long time. I'll go call her. The three of you take good care of her and keep her alive."
The third brother couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then picked up a whip from the side.
Under Lu Qing's horrified gaze, he swung the whip and lashed it hard across her body.
Lu Qing had been pampered since childhood, so she couldn't endure such hardship. She was whipped so hard that she shuddered and let out a shrill scream.
Seeing this, two people nearby came over and tore off all of Lu Qing's clothes.
The fourth brother stared coldly at the third brother and said, "You're not good either. Did you not eat enough? You're pulling so weakly."
The third brother tossed him the whip: "If you're so capable, then you do it."
The fourth brother smiled, picked up the whip, and lashed Lu Qing's lower body hard.
The blow was so sharp that Lu Qing felt as if her lower body had split open.
She couldn't help but scream again, but the fourth brother laughed and continued to beat her, each lash leaving bloody welts and torn flesh.
Lu Qing felt an unprecedented pain; she wished she could die right now.
But these people didn't want her to die at all; instead, they beat her even more fiercely, while the other two cheered them on from the sidelines.
She didn't know how much time had passed—it felt like an eternity to Lu Qing—before she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
...
When Zhou Li and his group drove Lu Qing away from the hotel in their van, they didn't notice that there was someone huddled in a corner by the hotel's west gate.
After these people left, Zheng Wei ran out from the corner, found a nearby phone booth, and called Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was doing the accounting; his operations had expanded too much, and he urgently needed to find a team of cashiers.
But there's no suitable candidate right now, so I have to do it myself, which makes me very tired every day.
When he received Zheng Wei's call, he knew that things had probably gone well.
Sure enough, Zheng Wei said, "I saw four people get out of a van, stuff Lu Qing into the trunk, and drive away."
"But I didn't catch up with her, and I don't know where Lu Qing was taken."
Zheng Wei was somewhat surprised. Ever since he met Lu Yang, the things he encountered were either fights or kidnappings, all of which would land him in jail if investigated.
But Lu Yang didn't seem surprised at all. He calmly said, "You can go back first. I'll transfer the reward to you tomorrow morning."
Zheng Wei couldn't help but ask, "Who were those people who took Lu Qing away? Could it be...?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "The person who plans to kill her."
Zheng Wei gasped, suddenly realizing he couldn't bring himself to ask any more questions.
He didn't know who Lu Qing had offended, or who wanted him dead, but he managed to suppress his curiosity.
He quickly agreed, then gave a few more details about the clues he had recently discovered while tracking Han Bingcheng, before hanging up the phone and rushing back to his advertising company.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang basically guessed that Zhou Li had taken Lu Qing away, and that Lu Qing was likely in grave danger this time.
He hoped that Lu Qing would be completely dead this time, so that there would be one less scourge affecting his life.
Regardless of whether it was in his past or present life, this woman was someone Lu Yang wanted to kill as soon as possible.
The next morning, he found Li Xingran's letter while tidying up his mailbox.
This was the first time Li Xingran had mailed him a letter since the Lunar New Year, which surprised him.
Previously, it was every 10 days, but I don't know why the interval is so long this time.
He took out the letter and read it carefully before he realized that Li Xingran had been injured, and the injury was quite serious. She had been in a coma in the hospital for half a month.
He was injured while on a mission, a mission for which Lu Yang had given him clues.
Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little scared. Although he wanted Li Xingran to use this information to gain merit, he never thought of hurting him. Li Xingran was someone he would rely on in the future.
Fortunately, Li Xingran wrote in his letter that his injuries were no longer serious, so he immediately wrote back to him.
Moreover, this time he was awarded a first-class merit. This was the first time he had received a first-class merit after completing so many missions, which must have made him very excited.
Lu Yang immediately took out two ginseng roots and mailed them to him along with the reply, while also inquiring about Han Bingcheng to see if he could find out more information.
After writing the letter, he mailed it along with the two ginseng roots to Li Xingran.
When Li Xingran received the letter, she also received two ginseng roots.
He had someone fetch some roots and boil them in water for himself to drink.
Old Master Li sat by his bedside and said with a smile, "Was it that friend who gave you the ginseng again?"
"This person really cares about you; he just gave you such a valuable ginseng without hesitation."
Li Xingran said seriously, "Friendship is not about how long you've known each other. Many friends who have known each other for more than ten years can betray each other just like that."
"Some people become close friends after meeting only a few times."
"Lu Yang and I got along very well. Even though we separated, we kept in touch through letters and always had something to talk about."
Grandpa Li became interested, stroked his chin and said, "Then I should meet this Lu Yang when I have time."
He knew Li Xingran well; his grandson had a cold personality and ordinary people didn't catch his eye.
Lu Yang must have something special to be praised like that.
Lu Yang was unaware that he had caught the attention of Old Master Li. He had just hired a group of cashiers to help him manage the accounts of Qingjin Garment Factory, whose business was booming.
However, nowadays most cashiers are junior high school graduates who went to a vocational school, or they just studied in a training class for a few years and got a cashier certificate.
These people have little experience, so it's difficult for them to manage the factory's accounts.
Lu Yang was considering hiring an accountant at a high price. After hearing this, Yao Lili thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go and recruit one too?"
"I've heard that many companies are now recruiting at job fairs."
Lu Yang thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea.
Now that the garment factory is growing larger and larger, and the previous orders have all been successfully completed, business expansion is inevitable.
This piece of land is quite large, and he plans to build several more factories. There are too many places to employ people, but a lack of management personnel.
After discussing it, the two hit it off immediately and decided to try their luck at the job market to see if they could find any talent.
These days, college graduates are highly sought after, and they are even guaranteed job placement after graduation, so it's very difficult for them to recruit a college graduate to work in their factory.
Neither he nor Yao Lili had this idea; they would be lucky to recruit a college graduate.
