Chapter 40: Abandoned Building
Chapter 40
Qin Zhao raised her eyebrows and asked Liu Song, "Do you know me?"
Although she had rested on the ninety-fifth floor, she was still a little out of breath and wanted to take this opportunity while talking with Liu Song to rest for a while.
"When I first saw Miss Qin Zhao at President Nan's place, I was sitting next to President Nan," Liu Song said.
"I see, so when did you realize I was following you?"
Qin Zhao walked a little closer to Liu Song. It was quite far to talk from a distance and strained her throat.
"Before answering your question, I'd like to ask first, what was Miss Qin Zhao's purpose in following me?"
Qin Zhao moistened her dry lips and said, "It was for Qiao Lin."
Liu Song's expression changed slightly. Before Qin Zhao said this, he had already guessed this.
But he had always been cautious and didn't want to believe he could make a mistake.
"How did you know?" Liu Song's tone became more solemn.
Qin Zhao's mouth curved into a mocking arc, "Of course your wife told me.
To find clues about Qiao Lin, I investigated everyone around Nan Chenghui. You were the one with the most flaws, with an adulterous wife."
Liu Song's expression became extremely ugly!
"She begged me not to tell you about her affair with Old Wang.
In exchange, she took the initiative to reveal your itinerary to me," Qin Zhao said.
Qin Zhao had rested enough and spoke without restraint.
She fabricated lies as she pleased, "You can't blame her. Although your wife has bad taste in men, marrying an ugly guy like you, her taste in finding a lover is not bad. That man is quite handsome, with a big chest and plump butt."
By now, Liu Song was barely holding himself back, his eyes bulging as if he was about to rush over and tear Qin Zhao into pieces.
But Qin Zhao maintained her irritating attitude, continuing nonstop, "Tsk tsk tsk, a plump young stud, your wife is quite fortunate, isn't she?"
"Enough! Don't say anymore!" Liu Song shouted, "Don't be so arrogant!"
After shouting, Liu Song's hurried breathing gradually calmed down, and his complexion returned to its usual stiff appearance. "Miss Qin, you've said your piece, now it's time for me to answer your first question."
He glanced at his watch and continued, "After I left, President Nan made a last-minute order for someone to deliver something to Qiao Lin, so I didn't come alone."
As he finished speaking, Qin Zhao heard footsteps behind her!
Qin Zhao looked back and saw three men who had just walked through the door to the rooftop.
"Miss Qin, you can either come with us quietly, or we will have to use force.
If you're smart, choose the former. This is a lawful society, and we certainly won't harm you.
If you choose the latter, you'll inevitably suffer some physical pain today."
Qin Zhao yawned and said, "You're too kind, giving me such thoughtful choices.
Let me return the favor.
I also have two options: one, you obediently tell me where Qiao Lin is being held.
Two, I throw you off the rooftop, so you have no chance to speak again!"
As she finished speaking, a rock flew from her hand, and Liu Song's scream rang out simultaneously!
Liu Song covered his eyes and fell to the ground, writhing in pain!
"Brother Song, what's wrong!"
The other three men hurriedly rushed towards Qin Zhao, shouting, "Take this woman down, avenge Brother Song!"
Qin Zhao threw out the remaining four rocks in her hand, missing two, while the other two struck the chests of two men.
The two men only let out a muffled grunt, without much injury.
Qin Zhao clicked her tongue in regret. For such hidden weapons, the element of surprise was most effective.
The three men ran up to Qin Zhao and swung their fists at her!
Qin Zhao swept their legs with one kick, knocking them to the ground!
She swiftly adjusted her stance, stomping on their arms, knees and waists respectively!
With immense force, they immediately curled up in pain!
Qin Zhao was also surprised these men were so weak.
She scanned them and asked, "Anyone else have an opinion?"
The four men answered Qin Zhao's question with stifled groans of pain.
Qin Zhao nodded, "Very good, know your limits."
She noticed some ropes among the miscellaneous items piled in a corner and went to pick them up.
She tested the strength briefly, decent enough.
Walking back to the little weaklings, she tied up Liu Song first.
Then she tied up the others one by one.
The four were strung together like locusts on a rope.
Qin Zhao got up and brushed the dust off her hands.
As they recovered from the pain, they looked at Qin Zhao timidly.
Such a frightening woman was the first time they had seen!
The woman before them looked harmless, but her actions were extremely vicious. They really didn't dare imagine what she would do next.
Therefore, when they heard Qin Zhao chant: "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
Catch a tiger by the toe..."
They instinctively started dodging.
But Qin Zhao's evil finger still pointed their way.
"If he hollers, let him go..."
Liu Song closed his eyes in despair, with the expression of a man about to be executed.
Qin Zhao placed her foot on Liu Song's neck and slowly applied force, speaking, "You tell me, where is Qiao Lin?"
Feeling the pressure on his carotid artery, fear spread through Liu Song's heart.
"I can't say. If I do, President Nan will have me killed!
Please, Miss Qin, spare me. I'm only following orders."
Qin Zhao increased the force under her foot, "Tell me now, and you can at least live until you see Nan Chenghui.
Don't tell, and you die now!"
Liu Song didn't believe a woman could have much guts.
Women were inherently soft-hearted and definitely couldn't go through with it.
But the reality was Qin Zhao was exerting more and more force, Liu Song's face turning from red to purple due to congestion.
The three onlookers watched Liu Song's life gradually fading away and were scared stiff.
One of them felt his pants soaked by an unknown liquid.
Just as Qin Zhao was about to put her full weight down, someone shouted, "I know!"
Hearing this, Qin Zhao looked at the speaker and said, "Speak."
The buzzcut man pointed at Liu Song, "Let him go first!"
Qin Zhao gave him an eye roll conveying her experience, while simultaneously exerting force with her leg. Liu Song sprayed out a mouthful of blood!
The buzzcut man, with a trembling voice, yelled loudly, "On the sixteenth floor! She's on the sixteenth floor, in room 1609!"
Only then did Qin Zhao finally remove her foot.
Liu Song immediately rolled over, spitting out the filthy blood in his mouth, and gasped for fresh air.
Qin Zhao pointed at the door to the rooftop, "Line up in front and lead the way. If you dare trick me, there are more interesting tricks waiting for you."
"We wouldn't dare, we absolutely won't anymore!"
The buzzcut man got up and kicked the two still lying on the ground, "Get up, stop sleeping!"
They swiftly crawled up, the mustached man glancing at the unidentified liquid on the ground.
Face flushed red, he turned to meet Qin Zhao's mocking face, then jerked away as if shocked.
Liu Song caught his breath and stood up straight, walking in front.
Only when all four had crossed the threshold did Qin Zhao follow unhurriedly from a distance.
Going downstairs was much easier than going up. Walking slowly, it took twenty minutes to reach the sixteenth floor.
Qin Zhao noticed some scattered messy footprints on the dusty floor.
Not like normal walking.
And quite fresh.
She had a bad premonition.
Liu Song walked to room 1609 and knocked on the door. With no response from inside, he kicked the door open!
What met their eyes were two men sprawled haphazardly on the floor, already passed out.
He looked back at Qin Zhao and said timidly, "There's been an accident, Miss Qin..."
