The two people she had captured were even more stubborn than expected.

Seeing that Wei Bei was scared silly and still didn’t say anything, Murong Qiao simply lost her patience and planned to use the most direct method.

She called over to Jiang Chi. “Tie him to the dock.”

She pointed at the pillars under the pier outside.

“Yes.” Jiang Chi immediately understood what Murong Qiao meant.

Although Jiang Chi usually worked as a civil servant in the company, he was naturally not an ordinary person since he could stay by Murong Chen’s side previously.

He untied Wei Bei from the chair in a few moves and brought the rope to the

dock.

The empty room was only a dozen steps away from the pier. Even though he was dragging someone with him, Jiang Chi’s movements didn’t slow down at all.

“I really just wanted to earn-” Wei Bei still wanted to quibble.

In the end, before he could finish speaking, he choked on a mouthful of seawater.

The position where Jiang Chi tied him up was just right and ingenious, preventing most of Wei Bei’s body from being submerged in the sea.

As the seawater rose and retreated, it could reach his neck or even higher.

“My patience is limited.” Murong Qiao stood by the shore and met Wei Bei’s gaze more than ten meters away.

She raised the alarm clock in her hand. “Take care.

With that, Murong Qiao really turned around and returned to the room without any reluctance. Jiang Chi followed behind.

Wei Bei’s eyes widened in fear. He couldn’t believe that they would really leave him here just like that.

Aren’t they afraid that he will really die?!

Such a thought flashed across his mind, but the seawater that surged even more violently than his thoughts drowned his mouth right on the heels of that thought.

There was silence, except for the sound of the waves.

Wei Bei’s slow reaction finally responded. He realized that the distance between him and death was closing infinitely.

After all, only when a person was really about to die could they tell the truth.

She didn’t really want to kill him. She was just giving him a small “fright”

appropriately.

She could take this time to look for the other one.

Murong Qiao turned around and pushed open the door next door to look at the middle-aged man with his head lowered.

“Li Qiang?” Murong Qiao asked directly.

She didn’t expect to get the answer she wanted at this moment. She only used

this sentence to observe the other party’s reaction.

The man called Li Qiang didn’t respond and remained in his original position. It was like a clam shell that had been tightly shut. If she didn’t stab the knife into it forcefully, it wouldn’t know what bloody pain was.

Murong Qiao had clearly expected such a scene.

She turned around and reached for a document beside her. After flipping a few pages, she read it out loud.

“Li Xiao… Your sister is quite beautiful.”

Li Qiang’s eyebrows twitched. He wanted to look up, but he forced himself to

hold it in.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Murong Qiao flipped another page.

“Your son is still in primary school—”

“What are you doing!” Li Qiang suddenly raised his head and shouted. This was completely different from the silence just now. He was like an awakened tiger, wanting to get up and pounce on Murong Qiao.

However, the reality was that the weight of the chair firmly pressed him to the ground. No matter how angry Li Qiang’s face was, it was useless.

“You’re anxious already?” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows.

Li Qiang panted heavily. “If you touch them, I’ll Peking…”

-Don’t be so vulgar.” Murong Qiao casually threw the documents she had just flipped to the side.

She crossed her arms and looked at Li Qiang. “I’m a civilized person.”

“So.” Murong Qiao returned to the topic.

“Who’s ordering you around?”

Li Qiang was silent for a moment. “…I don’t know.”

Perhaps seeing Murong Qiao’s frown and dissatisfaction, Li Qiang pursed his lips and added with a straight face.

“I really don’t know!”

He explained hurriedly, “Every time we contact each other, the other party will take the initiative to call me.”

-I’m just following the other party’s orders. I’ll do whatever he asks me to do.

Otherwise…”

Li Qiang didn’t finish the second half of his sentence, but it was obvious that it was not a good thing.

Murong Qiao was not satisfied with this answer. She narrowed her eyes and tapped her fingertips on the document.

“If I have to say it, every time the call comes to me, he will ask me to transfer it

to the writer.”

“As for what they’re talking about, I can’t hear them. I only know that the writer is very flattering to this gentleman. He transfers a sum of money to us every once in a while.”

Li Qiang cared about his family the most.

Therefore, Murong Qiao didn’t think that he would lie to her like Wei Bei. Li Qiang was also trying his best to recall more useful information. “Truthfully speaking…”

He paused, as if remembering something.

“When the writer was talking to the other party, I occasionally heard him call

the other party Mr. Du.”

Every time the other party called and asked to talk to the writer, Li Qiang would go out to smoke silently. Then, when he returned after smoking a cigarette, the conversation would basically end.

However, one time, when he went out to smoke, he realized that he had forgotten to bring the lighter, so he returned to get it. In the end, I overheard it.

Murong Qiao was deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Wei Bei was still suffering from the double torture of the outside world and the fear in his mind.

30 minutes was definitely not a long time under normal circumstances, but at this moment, surrounded by the waves, it was especially long.

The waves were already getting higher and higher.

It was so tall that every time it hugged him, it would drown Wei Bei’s mouth and nose, forcing him to grasp the timing of his breathing to prevent himself from choking on the seawater.

It was not that he had never thought of struggling to escape, but the more he twisted his body, the tighter the ropes around him became.

“I—cough, please—I really—”

Even the words he wanted to say to beg for mercy became intermittent. The moment the waves drowned up, the sound of rushing water filled his ears.

It was clearly reflected in his clear mind, and it wrapped around him.

It was airtight and he couldn’t breathe.

The cold seawater peeled the warmth of life away from his body bit by bit. It started from the tips of his toes and became cold before losing all feehng- Wei Bei only remembered his instinctive breathing.

He had never felt so close to death, even when the man called Du Ming threatened him.

Regret suddenly rose in his heart, drowning him like the surging waves.

If, if he was given another chance…

Wei Bei took a deep breath.

The moment this thought arose, he saw the figure of the woman who had appeared on the shore.

“l! I’ll talk! Cough—I’ll tell you everything!”

As if he had seen hope, he used all his strength to struggle.

As long as he could live, he would do anything!

As if sensing Wei Bei’s sincerity, Wei Bei’s blurry vision captured the smile on the other party’s face.

Five minutes later, Wei Bei returned to the empty room that had imprisoned him at the beginning. However, this time, he was drenched and his teeth were chattering from the cold.

However, Murong Qiao was still standing in front of him leisurely and refreshingly, looking down at his sorry state.

“You know the consequences of lying.”

That was all she said.

Wei Bei closed his eyes, and the fishy smell that made him panic seemed to surface in his nose again.

The saltiness of the seawater in his mouth and nose…

He shivered.

“That person’s name is Du Ming..”
