When Bai Feng saw the girl, his eyes lit up noticeably. Seeing her was like a dog seeing a bone; even though he was tied up, he now wanted to wriggle over.
Qi Jiu didn't say anything, but squatted down in front of him under his surprised gaze.
"Miss Heir, what are you doing... eh?" Bai Feng was about to speak, but he was stunned by the little girl's actions.
The heiress remained silent, then bumped into the dislocated wrist.
"Bear with it."
This was the first thing Qi Jiu said when she arrived. Then, she was seen holding her dislocated wrist, smiling in a somewhat... eerie way.
Bai Feng blinked in confusion, "You..."
"Snap!"
Although the sound wasn't very loud, Bai Feng could still hear it clearly.
"Alright." Qi Jiu stood up, looking down at him with no particular expression on her face.
Bai Feng was taken aback at first, but then he smiled broadly, a smile that even had a hint of ingratiation on it.
"Heir, since you've already been so kind as to help me get back on my feet, why not go all the way?" As he spoke, he twisted his body to show her the rope binding him.
Upon hearing this, the girl chuckled. "This isn't doing a good deed; it's more like giving alms."
Bai Feng: "..." With such good eloquence, isn't it a bit of a waste for him to be just an heir?
"May I have your name?"
"Bai Feng."
Bai Feng tried hard to stand up, but because his hands were tied, it was more difficult than usual.
"So what's your name?" Bai Feng, taking advantage of his height, looked down at Qi Jiu from above. Even so, he still bent down to accommodate her.
The girl raised an eyebrow. "Don't you understand the situation? Now, I'm interrogating you."
"What's wrong with asking for a name? What secrets will that reveal?" Bai Feng complained, but seeing the girl's changing expression, he finally shut his mouth.
Qi Jiu ignored him, meeting his gaze without flinching. "Is Zero the person behind you?"
Bai Feng was taken aback, then his smile widened.
"Miss Heir, you know perfectly well I won't answer, so why do you still ask?"
Now that torture is useless, I believe no one would confess so quickly, right?
Qi Jiu understood this principle, but she just smiled faintly and looked at Bai Feng, always feeling that something was wrong.
Such an unruly person, how could he become someone else's subordinate? Considering his previous skills, he shouldn't be a simple character. Why would someone with such a personality willingly become someone else's weapon?
So why did Bai Feng become a zero?
"Does Zero have something on you?"
She had thought about this question a lot before asking it; otherwise, she really couldn't think of anything else.
Bai Feng glanced at her, but didn't answer. Instead, he awkwardly changed the subject.
"Miss Heir, you still haven't told me your name."
"Change the subject? That's a really clumsy method."
As she spoke, she looked at the person slowly walking towards the corner, tilted her head, and said, "Right now, you can't know, but the only thing I can tell you is that my surname is not Delin."
Although the surname Delin was given to her by the Delin family, she didn't really want it. It was one thing for outsiders to call her that, since they didn't know anything about her.
There was a strange emotion in her eyes that Bai Feng couldn't quite understand.
But before she left, she said one last thing: "You can't leave here until you give me an explanation, and don't even think about sneaking away."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud 'bang'.
Qi Jiu left, and once again he was alone in the confinement room.
Feeling the quiet surroundings, he suddenly felt a little lonely. Looking at the window that he could only see by looking up, and feeling the sunlight outside, he suddenly felt melancholy.
He had thought that this was how life would be, but he never expected to meet such an interesting person today.
But now... it seems he has nothing left. What other path is there but to blindly obey that guy?
At this moment, Qi Jiu, who had just left the solitary confinement room, raised an eyebrow as she looked at Meng Ling's expectant eyes.
"Miss, did you find out anything?"
"No, no matter what the situation is now, we can't get any information out of them."
Torture? That guy isn't afraid. With his looks, there's probably nothing in this world that can threaten him. Right now, the only leverage he has might be in Zero's hands.
To get him to talk, we might need to use some other methods.
But since this guy has been kept in the Deli family, Zero will definitely make a move.
Back in the main building, Lin Yan also returned. He subconsciously walked to the girl's side and lowered his body.
"Sister, I went to see. Those people who blocked the road earlier were burned alive by a group of suspicious people without any markings. They acted very quickly and without any loopholes."
The girl seemed to have expected this outcome, as her face remained expressionless.
"I know. You've had a long day, go and get some rest."
She encountered quite a few things today; she didn't even go downstairs for dinner.
She now knew who the disloyal person in the Delin family was, but his position in the Delin family was not low, and it might take some more opportunities to completely eliminate him.
"Qiqi".
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "What troublesome thing happened to you today?"
Qi Silin, standing at the other end behind her, seemed to have already guessed what was going on just by looking at her expression.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the Delin family is making more and more of a mess."
The girl's voice carried a hint of weariness. Although her gaze wasn't on the phone screen, her overall condition was still immediately apparent.
Do you need any help?
Seeing how exhausted she looked, Qi Silin's eyes filled with heartache. It might be easier if the two of them worked together.
At this point, the girl smiled and waved her hand dismissively. "You've already gone to so much trouble for me. This time it's not too difficult, just a little troublesome. Don't worry."
The man pursed his lips, looked at her without saying a word.
Although it was meant to put his mind at ease, how could he not be at ease looking at her current state? Besides, the Delin family was already on its last legs, and now they were just trying to turn the tide.
Watching Qi Jiu work, Qi Silin also unconsciously started working, and the two of them worked hard to shine in their respective fields.
