Fifteen minutes later.
Hua Changle came out, her face showing signs of fatigue and paleness.
"Are you alright?" Iris immediately went to help her up.
Hua Changle shook his head and looked at Jiang Ya: "I'm not the one who's in trouble."
Jiang Ya was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and peered into the room. The three people were still lying on the ground, showing no signs of change.
"Go see She Jiameng."
As Hua Changle spoke, he walked toward She Jiameng's room.
Jiang Ya didn't think much of it and closed the door again.
However, she didn't notice.
The three people who were originally unconscious in the room now had their eyes open, but their eyes were empty.
Alright, as expected, three more idiots have joined the party.
"Still not sure how to control it." Hua Changle said to 422 in his mind as he pushed open the door to the room where She Jiameng was.
"who?"
She Jiameng's hoarse and trembling voice rang out in the darkness.
Having been locked up for several days, with no one to turn to for help, and with the lights off at night and the quiet during the day, She Jiameng had never experienced such suffering before, and she had already broken down.
"Smack."
The lights were turned on.
She Jiameng closed her eyes, and it took her a long time to adjust to the light. When she opened them again, she saw someone she never expected:
"Flowers are always joyful!!"
She Jiameng pounced on him like an enraged lion.
Hua Changle took a step back, and as expected, She Jiameng, whose head was spinning, fell to the ground at her feet, unable to get up for a moment.
Hua Changle used her foot to lift a chair over and sat down, watching She Jiameng struggle to get up from the ground, glaring fiercely at her:
"So it was you! You dare to lock me up here? Aren't you afraid the She family will come after you?"
Hua Changle said calmly, "I caught the mule."
She Jiameng suddenly froze.
"The investigation team has issued an arrest warrant for you."
She Jiameng looked incredulous.
"What's so surprising?" Hua Changle looked down at her calmly. "From the moment you first sold out the people around you, shouldn't you have expected this ending?"
"You...you're slandering me!" She Jiameng retorted in a hoarse voice.
"Shh." Hua Changle impatiently silenced her. "I'm tired and don't want to hear your excuses. I'm telling you this only so you can understand why you lost."
"She Jiameng, I was the one who leaked the information about Mule to you, and I deliberately lured you here to District Seven."
Are you wondering why I, who should be dealing with She Haoyun, am targeting you, who is staying outside of District Seven?
“She Jiameng, because from the very beginning, my goal was you.”
Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass.
The plan began when the investigation revealed that people around She Jiameng had mysteriously disappeared without She Haoyun's knowledge.
On the surface, she and Hua Qingyun came to District Seven together, acting as both members of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau and people from Nancheng and Nandao, and were doing their best to investigate the She family's dark businesses.
But in reality, their target wasn't She Haoyun, who controlled these businesses, but She Jiameng, who was on the sidelines.
The head of the She family was extremely strict with his children and held patriarchal views, which meant that although She Jiameng was the eldest daughter of the She family and received strict upbringing from a young age, she was actually raised as a tool for marriage alliances.
She Haoyun, the illegitimate son rumored to be born out of wedlock, was actually an adopted son with no blood relation to her, yet he was more valued by the She family head.
Over the past year, as the health of the She family head has deteriorated, She Haoyun and She Jiameng have become increasingly at odds.
She Jiameng secretly connected with Mule, Mang Ge, and Qiqu and Spymagor through Mule and Mang Ge, and started targeting those around her who had offended her. In fact, she was preparing to take over those industries from She Haoyun in the future.
Unfortunately, while She Jiameng possessed considerable talent in cultivating supernatural abilities, she was not adept at business. She Haoyun had her completely suppressed.
She Jiameng made a desperate gamble, but she fell right into the trap set by Hua Changle and Hua Qingyun.
Hua Changle extended a finger, a finger imbued with psychic abilities, and pressed it against She Jiameng's head. She Jiameng groaned and collapsed to the ground.
She lowered her head and said, "I have another piece of good news for you."
She Haoyun lost this round because he didn't include you in his calculations.
"Right now, he should be hiding and trying to escape."
After suffering a series of blows, She Jiameng sat on the ground with a gloomy face, remaining silent for a long time.
"Do you want to live, She Jiameng?" Hua Changle suddenly asked.
She Jiameng stared at her warily: "How do you plan to torture me?"
“I’m serious. I can let you go, I won’t send anyone to hunt you down, and I’ll let you escape. But you must never set foot on the land of the Middle Kingdom again, and I have conditions.”
She Jiameng's eyes flickered, and finally she gritted her teeth and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"Answer my question."
What question do you have?
Hua Changle didn't rush to ask: "If I ask you, you must answer honestly. If you don't answer, I have a way to dig it out of your memory. If that happens... you won't have a chance to leave here alive."
She Jiameng's expression changed, and finally she nodded through gritted teeth:
"If you dare let me go, I will definitely seize this opportunity!"
Hua Changle ignored her hateful glare, tapped the communicator lightly with her finger, and continued:
"Listen carefully, my question is,"
"How did you manage to do what happened to Meng Danruo back then?"
She Jiameng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, Hua Changle! You act so high and mighty in front of me, with the power of life and death, but in the end, didn't I still have to clear your name? As long as I don't say anything, you'll still be gossiped about and cursed behind your back, hahaha... Nobody believes you, Hua Changle! You're so pathetic!"
