Chapter 164 Where to Go
Fu Yanlin approached her step by step, looked at her with a firm gaze, and asked, "You have met Qiao Jin, right?"
"I haven't seen her. I don't know where she is. Don't ask me!"
The woman's voice was filled with panic and desperation.
"Tell the truth now, you can still be saved. If you help Old Man Li cover up the truth, it will be a crime of harboring a criminal, and you will be sentenced as well, do you understand?"
Fu Yanlin tried to give her a way out.
However, this seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve in her. She suddenly became crazy, crying and shouting, "I don't know, I really don't know anything, don't arrest me! I don't want to stay with Old Man Li!"
"Where is Qiao Jin?"
Fu Yanlin's patience is running out.
The last bit of tolerance in her eyes had disappeared, but the woman was still unconscious, with empty eyes, as if she had lost her soul, and had no intention of cooperating at all.
Fu Yanlin couldn't continue wasting time like this.
Seeing that she had no intention of telling the truth, he simply turned around and walked out.
The criminals have not been caught yet, and even Qiao Jin has disappeared!
This is undoubtedly bad news, like a bolt from the blue that catches us off guard.
Fu Yanlin's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. Although he didn't want to think in that direction, he understood that in this situation, Qiao Jin was most likely kidnapped by those criminals.
Even without thinking too much, Fu Yanlin knew in his heart that Qiao Jin was most likely kidnapped by bad guys!
Whenever he thought of this, his heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
Anxiety, anger and deep self-blame filled every inch of his nerves, driving him to rush through the dark night towards Old Man Li's residence.
On the way to Old Man Li's residence, Fu Yanlin ran into Xu Qingchang head-on.
When the two men came face to face almost instantly, Xu Qingchang first showed a hint of surprise, then quickly regained his composure, with a cunning smile flashing in his eyes, as if he had discovered something that was in his favor.
When he saw Fu Yanlin, Xu Qingchang was stunned at first, but soon a cunning smile flashed in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes, trying to face the sudden situation with the most natural attitude, wanting to hide his true feelings and prevent others from seeing any clues.
But what Xu Qingchang never expected was that Fu Yanlin approached and punched him in the face without saying a word.
"Bang!"
The punch came too suddenly, leaving him no time to react, and the force was so strong that it almost shattered his cheekbone.
Suddenly, he felt a splitting pain on his face, and bright red blood instantly flowed out of his nostrils and corners of his mouth, and his vision became blurred.
Fu Yanlin's strength was so great that he lifted up his collar in an instant. Xu Qingchang looked at himself in disbelief as he realized that his feet had actually left the ground. In addition to fear, his heart was also filled with anger that was difficult to conceal.
"What on earth are you doing?"
Despite the serious injuries he suffered, Xu Qingchang still tried his best to voice his doubts.
Facing Fu Yanlin's cold gaze, he heard the cold question: "Where is Qiao Jin?"
Xu Qingchang pursed his lips: "How should I know where Qiao Jin is? I didn't see her at all!"
His words were filled with confusion and anger about the current situation.
"Boss, we are on a mission now. Is it appropriate for you to miss a woman so much?"
Xu Qingchang spoke with gritted teeth, as if trying to provoke the man in front of him with verbal provocation, hoping to change the subject or buy himself a chance of survival.
However, he was greeted by another "bang!"
The sound came with severe pain.
This blow was obviously more brutal and ruthless than the last one, completely breaking down his originally strong mental defenses. He was thrown to the ground with a scream, his body covered in blood and dirt, and was in so much pain that he couldn't utter complete words.
Fu Yanlin approached again, staring down at Xu Qingchang who was lying on the ground.
His eyes were full of determination and threats, and his voice was low but loud enough: "I'll ask again!"
Xu Qingchang refused to give in: "What's wrong? The captain wants to kill me for a woman? Even if the captain destroys his own future, I will die with him! Come on!"
Although he knew that he was at an absolute disadvantage at the moment and might even face the threat of death, he still chose to respond with the toughest attitude and did not intend to give in easily.
Fu Yanlin's eyes became increasingly gloomy. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Qingchang by the collar, and without any hesitation, dragged him quickly towards Old Man Li's house.
He kicked the half-open door open, then threw Xu Qingchang into the room with force, causing his face to hit the ground.
There was a musty smell in the air, which immediately made the fresh air that had just been brought in from the door disappear.
Xu Qingchang immediately started coughing and tried to adjust his breathing to avoid suffocation, but the unpleasant breath still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Fu Yanlin still maintained that cold look, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and his tone was extremely stern.
"I'll ask you one last time, is this the last time Qiao Jin appeared around here?"
There was unquestionable firmness in Fu Yanlin's voice, and every word was like an ice knife piercing Xu Qingchang's heart.
There was blood at the corner of Xu Qingchang's mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.
He tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Humph, Fu Yanlin, you are so impulsive for a woman. You can only be an unknown captain in this life!"
Xu Qingchang's voice was full of sarcasm. He tried to provoke the other party in this way and find a glimmer of hope.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingchang suddenly felt a spasm and severe pain all over his body, and the pain in his neck almost reached his heart.
The pain spread from his throat all the way to his chest, like a needle pricking him.
This unprecedented pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He quickly covered his neck, his fingers tightly grasping his skin, his eyes widened, his face distorted, and he looked extremely painful.
Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the ground. He could even feel his body trembling.
When meeting Fu Yanlin's cold gaze, Fu Yanlin narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully.
There was no trace of sympathy in that look, only cold scrutiny.
Xu Qingchang had never imagined that his body would suddenly feel so much pain. It felt as if his internal organs were being stabbed by countless knives.
Every second seemed like a lifetime, and he even began to doubt whether he could walk out of here alive.
He struggled to look at Fu Yanlin, his voice hoarse and weak: "Fu Yanlin, I am... your subordinate, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
His words were full of begging and desperation, as if this was his only lifeline.
Fu Yanlin's face did not show any fluctuations, and he seemed to be blind to Xu Qingchang's pain: "You also know that you are my subordinate? Now you start talking about team spirit?"
There was a deep sense of sarcasm and dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me where Qiao Jin left from! If you don't tell me, you'll die a more miserable death."
