Chapter 71 Qiao Xian suffers torture
"How did you guess that Qu Ge was in Rong Zhoubai's hands?"
He Qing walked slowly towards the dog cage, staring at the person in the cage with cold eyes.
That's right.
This man who was locked in a dog cage and had long lost all his dignity was Qiao Xuan!
He Qing put Qiao Xu into a dog cage, brought him back to Canada in the cargo hold of a private plane, and then locked him up here.
His once meticulously combed hair now lay in a messy mess on his forehead, and his tie was crooked around his neck like a ridiculous collar.
The suit he was wearing was quite expensive, but the cuffs had a pair of faded metal buttons.
That was the first gift Qu Ge gave him.
During the days and nights since she was gone, he kept it with him every day and night, rubbing it with his fingertips from time to time until the coating on its surface began to peel off...
He didn't answer He Qing's words, but raised his head with difficulty: "Can I see her?"
"Want to see her? Are you worthy?"
He Qing sneered, his tone full of contempt.
This guy in front of him had harmed his only daughter to that state, yet he still had the nerve to ask to see her?
It's a pipe dream!
Although He Qing had made his attitude clear, Qiao Xuan still refused to give up.
He grabbed the rusty iron cage, lowered his posture, and begged, "Mr. He, I just want to see her once. If you can let me see her, I will do anything you want!"
For Qiao Xuan, the most important thing at this moment is to see with his own eyes that Qu Ge is still alive.
She must live!
Live to see the day when he ends it all with his own hands!
Her life belongs to him!
If she died, where would his love go? Where would his hatred go?!
In order to see Qu Ge, Qiao Xuan did not hesitate to bow down and beg for mercy from He Qing like a dog.
"Mr. He, I know you hate me and blame me for hurting Qu Ge. But this was not my intention! She is the most important person to me, the woman I love the most! I have always wanted to cherish her! It was my fault, I failed to protect her. No matter how you punish me or torture me, I just hope you can spare my breath so that I can see her one last time before I die!"
Acting deeply affectionately has always been Qiao Xuean’s usual trick.
He composed those heartfelt lines without batting an eyelid, and even a lie detector wouldn't be able to tell if he was being truthful or not.
He Qing narrowed his eyes and looked down at him condescendingly, as if carefully weighing every word he uttered.
After a while, he finally agreed: "I can let you see her. But you have to do me a favor first."
"No problem, anything!"
Joshua answered without hesitation.
At this moment, he still didn't know what kind of torture he would face next...
After a while, He Qing's men brought a metal box.
He Qing put on gloves and took out a small capsule from the box.
"Do you know what this is?"
"I heard that the White Group is researching a new type of drug recently. Could this be..."
"XR-13." He Qing said with a smile, "It seems you've had people investigate the White Group quite a bit before."
Upon hearing this code name, a deep frown suddenly appeared between Qiao Xuan'an's brows.
As He Qing said, ever since he learned Rong Zhoubai's identity, he has been investigating the White Group.
XR-13.
This is a new super-repair drug developed by the White Group.
Rumor has it that this drug can enable a person to complete full-body cellular regeneration within 72 hours.
The organs of seriously injured patients are restored, the tumors of terminally ill patients are regressed, and aging tissues are regenerated in reverse aging...
It can be said that once this drug is successfully developed, it will be one of the greatest breakthroughs in human medical history.
It will completely change the existing medical model and make many diseases that were once considered incurable become history!
Qiao Xian has always suspected that such a magical thing is just a rumor promoted by the White Group and does not really exist.
But now it was right in front of him!
However, judging by the expression on He Qing's face, this medicine doesn't seem to be as simple as the rumors say.
It only took Qiao Xuan a moment to guess He Qing's intention.
"Mr. He, do you want me to try the medicine?"
"clever."
He Qing spread his hands, took out another experimental report from the metal box and threw it in front of Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xian tried hard to see the words written on the papers scattered on the ground -
"The moment the drug is injected into the blood vessels, the subject will immediately feel the excruciating pain of thousands of red-hot steel needles roaming through their bone marrow. This pain will multiply exponentially...
"Within 12 hours, the subject's nervous system will reach its limit. Within 24 hours, the subject's nervous system will begin to completely collapse, and the pain perception will be infinitely amplified. After 48 hours, most subjects will experience severe symptoms of derealization..."
"Throughout the process, the subject will remain exceptionally lucid. After 72 hours, their pain threshold is permanently reset..."
The densely packed words fell into Qiao Xuan's eyes, making his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Seeing his face turn pale, He Qing sneered: "Why, are you scared?"
"As long as I'm willing to try the medicine, will you let me see Qu Ge?"
Qiao Xuan did not hesitate too much, but just confirmed He Qing's promise again and again.
However, it was impossible for He Qing to give him a definite answer.
His tone was cold and stern. "You have no right to negotiate with me right now. Whether you like it or not, I have a way to make you a test subject for XR-13. However, if your performance satisfies me, I might actually consider letting you meet my daughter."
"Okay, I promise."
Qiao Xuean answered readily.
Without waiting for He Qing to do anything, he reached out, grabbed the capsule in his hand, and swallowed it directly.
Seeing how impatient he was, He Qing sneered again.
He waved his hand and ordered his men behind him: "Keep an eye on him these few days, don't let him die here!"
Before he finished speaking, He Qing turned and left.
Qiao Xian faced the dark room nervously, silently waiting for the torture to come.
At first, it was just a slight burning sensation in the stomach.
But soon—
The severe pain exploded from my internal organs like a raging fire!
Qiao Xian suddenly arched his body, struggling and twisting uncontrollably in the iron cage, causing the entire cage to creak.
His muscles were cramping abnormally, and every inch of his bones felt as if pierced by thousands of steel needles. His blood vessels felt like they were filled with boiling magma, burning him to the point of nearly suffocating...
He gritted his teeth and endured it, veins bulging on his forehead, cold sweat rolling down like rain, soaking his shirt.
But even so, he still refused to make a single whimpering sound, only squeezing out a low, hoarse gasp from deep in his throat...
The surveillance camera in the upper left corner of the room captured all of this.
In front of the monitor, He Qing watched all this indifferently.
To him, the pain Qiao Xian was suffering at this moment was not even one thousandth of what his daughter was suffering!
He wants him to suffer so much that his life will be worse than death!
Until he truly learns to repent!
…
Qiao Xian could no longer feel the passage of time.
Every nerve was screaming, as if someone was scraping his bone marrow bit by bit with a blunt knife.
The nervous system collapses, and the pain is infinitely amplified—
The fabric felt like sandpaper rubbing against my skin, and even my heartbeats became like heavy hammers, hitting my chest and causing pain.
Black spots began to appear in the world before his eyes, his eardrums swelled with his pulse, and the sound of blood flowing echoed hummingly in his skull.
His brain felt like it was being crushed, and he banged his head against the iron cage frantically, but instead of relief, he felt even more horrible torture.
The pain was like countless tiny steel needles drilling out from between the bones.
He curled up into a ball, shaking uncontrollably.
In a trance, he saw a dark shadow wriggling in front of him.
He reached out to grab it, but missed.
It was an illusion, but he couldn't tell...
After an unknown amount of time, he had new hallucinations again because he had not eaten or drunk water for a long time.
The rust on the iron cage turned into flowing blood, and the whole world seemed to be spinning.
He recalled the time when he was abused by Qiao Jingren as a child and was locked up in the basement of Weiyuan Villa. No one bandaged his wounds, and over time they began to rot and fester, causing him to have a high fever.
He still clearly remembers the pain brought by the high fever for several days.
At this moment, he seemed to be experiencing the same pain again.
However, this time, he clearly felt the burning heat coming from his bones, and every breath was like swallowing a handful of broken glass...
My throat is hoarse and I can only make intermittent sounds. Even wailing is a luxury.
After not eating or drinking for a long time, Qiao Xuan felt as if his internal organs had been hollowed out.
Finally someone brought him a pot of water.
His trembling fingers couldn't even hold the handle of the pot, and most of the water had already spilled before it even reached his lips.
He licked the water stains on the ground like a dog, tasting his own blood and sweat. The rough ground touched his tongue, and even the slightest touch caused him to tremble with pain...
48 hours.
Reality disintegrates.
Qiao Xuan couldn't tell whether he was awake or having an extremely real nightmare.
The ceiling twisted into a maelstrom of fangs and claws, and the walls rippled and breathed like living things.
He vaguely saw Qu Ge standing in the corner and smiling at him...
But when he reached out to grab it, the face suddenly turned into Qiao Wanwan's hideous smile!
The pain had become as normal as breathing, and he had even begun to get used to it, just like getting used to his own heartbeat.
But with every breath, it felt like the lungs were being poured into boiling lead, the stomach was twisted into a ball, and the intestines seemed to be tied in a knot.
He heard someone talking, but couldn't tell whether it was real or an illusion.
Sometimes it was Qu Ge who cursed him over and over again in his ear that he would never be loved, and sometimes it was his own voice that repeatedly reminded him that he had to hold on until the very end...
Only by persisting can you see her again...
Time becomes meaningless, and every second is stretched into eternal pain!
…
Three days later.
When the door of the room opened again——
Qiao Xian curled up in the cage, twisted and motionless.
All around him was his own blood, sweat, and excrement, and the entire room was filled with an unbearable stench.
A pair of expensive high heels stepped over the mess on the floor and walked gracefully towards the dog cage in the middle of the room.
Two slender fingers wrapped in black lace gloves reached out gently and felt his breath.
"Still alive."
"Take the person away."
