"Little Bottle, what are you trying to do?"
Yu Jie knew the brutal methods used to punish women in the compound, and upon hearing my words, she screamed in fear.
So she was afraid of death after all. I thought she feared nothing.
Coldly, I said, "I want to know about Lulu."
Seeing the deep, murderous look in my eyes, she fell silent for a few seconds.
Then she suddenly broke down, crying, "I only know that she works for the Wei Family's Henry Group, and she's a mistress of one of their big shots. That's all I know."
So, she was connected to the notorious Henry Group, and as a mistress to one of the bosses, no wonder she could travel freely!
This news was explosive.
It seemed that Chen Weiqiang was just a stepping stone for her to climb higher.
But this was just my speculation. To know the details, I'd have to confront Chen Weiqiang.
"I need to know what happened to the others when you escaped the compound."
I didn't dare to directly ask about Qiang's whereabouts, fearing it might cause unnecessary trouble.
If he was alive, I didn't want to jeopardize him.
"They're all dead. They all died... Chen Cheng and the supervisor were blown up, too. Waaaaah!"
Yu Jie trembled and cried uncontrollably, as if she had witnessed something horrifying.
"... All dead? Ha!"
I repeated her words, feeling an unexpected pain in my heart.
Even though I hated Chen Weiqiang intensely, why did I still hope he was alive?
"Take everyone to the basement!"
Liu Eleven's sharp voice suddenly rang out.
The lackeys hurriedly drove the hundred or so newly captured workers to the next building...
"Supervisor!"
I turned around and calmly stared at him.
I hadn't seen him in half a month, and his face was even paler and more terrifying.
Dressed in black leather jacket and pants that hugged his skinny frame, from behind, he looked like a teenage girl who hadn't yet developed.
Up close, though, he was revolting.
"Who would have thought you had the skill to get that old fox Ace to back you?"
Liu Eleven eyed me up and down with a dirty look, his fingers pinched in a delicate pose.
Today, my appearance and demeanor had indeed improved dramatically.
With a clean buzz cut, new trousers, a white shirt, and shiny black shoes, I exuded a youthful and sunny vibe.
No wonder I had scared Yu Jie and the seasoned Meng Ge.
"That's because of your guidance, Supervisor. Otherwise, how could Professor Ace take a liking to me?"
I stared at Liu Eleven without flinching, resisting the urge to scrape off the three pounds of makeup on his face.
"Don't flatter me. Do you think I'm so easily fooled? But since you managed to get Ace to back you, you must have some special talents... Apart from fighting in the black ring, do you have any other secrets?"
Liu Eleven smiled sinisterly, poking my chest with his long red nails.
"There are, but they're our secrets. I can't tell you, Supervisor, for fear of losing my life and implicating you."
I admitted openly, no point in playing games with him.
How could I possibly fool an old fox like him?
Anyway, he couldn't do anything to me now. With Ace backing me, I was safe at least until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Not bad!" Liu Eleven withdrew his hand and suddenly asked, "I heard you're looking for Lulu."
"Yes, but if I can't find her, it's fine. I'm doing well now, no need to cross her."
I nodded calmly, not wanting him to use this against me.
"Come with me, I'll take you to see an old friend. You'll thank me for it."
Liu Eleven laughed loudly, turned, and walked toward the office building.
I looked at Spanner in confusion; he also didn't know what was going on.
We exchanged glances and immediately followed.
If he was taking me to see someone, it had to be someone I wanted to see.
Could it be... Lulu?
The thought of it being her made me excited, rapidly playing out scenarios in my head of how to kill her...
Five or six minutes later, we followed Liu Eleven to the sixth floor of the A Building, a tech office.
This building was for the compound's technical staff; ordinary workers had no access.
Even regular supervisors rarely got in.
That Liu Eleven could bring me here spoke volumes about the person's identity and my familiarity with them.
Should I kill Lulu? And if I did, how would I escape?
These were the questions I pondered on the way.
Yes, I could take Liu Eleven hostage.
Spanner could pretend to be captured too, buying us time. Then, we'd get an off-road vehicle downstairs and crash our way out...
Spanner, walking behind me, seemed to sense my unease and hesitation, looking nervous too.
He was probably thinking about how to handle the upcoming situation.
With a pounding heart, I followed Liu Eleven and pushed open the door.
But the scene before me was...
A luxurious office filled with computers and phones, and by the window sat a well-dressed, handsome man in a boss's chair.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a serene and peaceful glow on his flowing long hair.
What a "surprise"!
"... Why is it you!"
My anger instantly evaporated, my taut nerves relaxing immediately.
To my surprise, a fleeting sense of joy flashed through me.
"Who else were you expecting?"
Chen Weiqiang stood up with a smile, spreading his arms to hug me, "Long time no see. You've matured, become more manly!"
"..." I stared at him, emotions churning in my head. For a moment, I really wanted to hug him!
But thinking of how Lulu tricked me here, and how he had called my father to threaten him into selling our house and blood to send money to protect me, my hatred for him surged.
Clenching my fist, I said through gritted teeth, "I really 'missed' you!"
I held back from punching him, considering the consequences and remembering he had let me go.
Unfortunately, I got lost in the forest and ended up in Myawaddy, which wasn't really his fault.
"I missed you too! Now we're back together fighting side by side. To hell with Lulu and all of them!"
Chen Weiqiang patted my shoulder, subtly mentioning Lulu.
Knowing I hated her, was he hinting at something?
"You two are university classmates, from top-ranked schools. I trust you with this international fraud operation."
Liu Eleven clapped his hands, then his eyes turned vicious, "But if you play any tricks behind my back, I'll make sure you die horribly."
"Supervisor Liu, I only want to make money now. You're my benefactor, why would I betray you? That would be ungrateful and self-destructive. Don't you think so, Ping An?"
