Late at night, the sound of a teacup breaking inside the house caught the attention of those outside.
The two bodyguards immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
At the same time, Su Li appeared from outside the door, picked up a wooden stick, and struck them heavily on the back of the neck.
The two collapsed to the ground one after the other.
Su Li dropped the stick, clapped her hands, and turned to leave.
She went to the next room and took out the key she had stolen from the maid from her pocket.
Fortunately, she had a backup plan when the maid brought her food.
The door opened, revealing a dim, yellowish light inside, barely enough to make out a person's silhouette.
She hurried to the man, who was tied to a pillar, his body covered in wounds and blood.
Are you dead?
The person stirred upon hearing the sound, then struggled to lift their head.
"You're Brother Mu?"
He gasped, barely breathing, "Who are you?"
"Never mind who I am, just tell me, why did Song Qinze arrest you?"
"You are... one of his people?"
Although Mu Ge was seriously injured, he remained vigilant. His face was covered in blood and gore, and his eyes were unfocused and lifeless.
“I was also captured by him. If you tell me everything you know, I can find a way to get you out.”
The man suddenly let out a cold laugh.
He didn't believe that Su Li, a weak woman, could rescue him.
"I know you don't believe me, but at least I can give you some hope, otherwise you'll just be waiting to die here."
"The man surnamed Song wants to use the Lai tribe to deal with a person named Quan Ye."
His voice was very soft, but Su Li still heard it clearly.
She asked anxiously, "What is their plan? Can you tell me?"
"have no idea."
Brother Mu was too badly injured, and he fainted from the pain after saying that.
"Wake up and finish what you have to say."
Su Li shook him a few times, but he didn't move.
She glanced at her hands and saw that they were covered in blood when she touched his arm.
How much torture did Song Qinze use on him?
Su Li was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't linger for too long and quickly returned to her room.
The next morning, before she even got up, she heard a commotion outside, along with many footsteps.
The sound of a car starting came from downstairs, and then everything returned to calm.
When the maid brought the food, she learned that Mu Ge had been sent away, but she didn't know where he was being sent.
On the surface, things seem calm, but beneath the surface, turbulent currents are brewing and danger is gradually approaching.
Su Li was filled with anxiety all day long, and she was unable to contact the outside world. Attending the banquet with Song Qinze was her only chance to go out.
Song Qinze was overjoyed to learn that she had agreed to attend the banquet, and immediately drove over to pick her up.
The banquet was held outdoors, and only Song Qinze's important connections at the border were allowed to attend; no one else was allowed to enter without an invitation.
The scene was filled with singing and dancing. People from the border region are quite open-minded. The dancers wore bikinis and danced passionately on the dance floor, which drew loud cheers from the men outside.
That evening, Song Wan also insisted on coming over, and Chen Qi had no choice but to bring her along.
Siye entered first and sat down in the main seat, with two women massaging his shoulders beside him.
Song Wan and Chen Qi sat on the side. She looked at the red wine on the table with disdain and said, "This place is so poor, and the wine they drink isn't very good either. It's not as good as the wine in Haicheng."
Upon hearing her words, Siye turned his gaze towards her with a dangerous look.
Chen Qi quickly reminded her, "Miss, this is someone else's territory, please be careful what you say."
Song Wan looked disdainful, feeling that the air around her was polluted, so she put on a mask.
Siye was very unhappy with her behavior, but he didn't make a fuss for Chen Qi's sake.
"President Song is here."
At the entrance, Song Qinze walked gracefully with his entourage.
