But since Zhang Beixing has already gotten into trouble, he will temporarily protect Zhu Xiaoling.

"Do you think this is convenient?"

Zhu Xiaoling shook her head.

"Do you expect me to live with you? That won't do."

"No, you've misunderstood. You can come to my company, and then to my house after get off work. My parents and sister are home, and I would never have any improper thoughts about you."

But Zhu Xiaoling still hesitated, and finally shook her head, saying that she would stay at home and not go anywhere.

Let's talk about it if there's real danger.

Gao Wenliang thought Zhu Xiaoling was a really stubborn girl.

Since that's the case, we can only respect her decision.

Meanwhile, Chen Lianjun quickly called Tian Wenjing, saying that he had brought Zhang Beixing to the designated location and asked her what to do next.

“Very good, I’ll be there in a bit. You can wait there.”

At this point, Zhang Beixing was extremely thirsty, so he asked them for water.

"What? You want water? There's no water, but we do have urine. Do you want some?" a man said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Yes, that stuff is more nutritious and it's still warm. I happen to have some right here, do you want to try some?"

Zhang Beixing glared at them fiercely, gritting his teeth as he said, "You will pay the price for what you did today!"

The group burst into laughter again. Just then, Chen Lianjun walked in, sneering, "Who gave you that confidence? You think you can leave here alive?"

The others also felt that Zhang Beixing was too arrogant, still being stubborn even at this point.

Several of Chen Lianjun's men asked, "Is it really going to kill him? What exactly were Miss Tian's instructions?"

Chen Lianjun curled his lip: "I don't know exactly what she said, but even if it doesn't cost him his life, he'll be skinned alive this time!"

With the assistance of the police, Haicheng issued a major announcement, which quickly went viral online. Hero Zhang Beixing had been kidnapped by several unidentified individuals and his whereabouts were unknown. The announcement stated that a substantial reward would be given to anyone providing valid clues, and appealed to the public to speak out for the hero.

The news caused an uproar online, with people expressing righteous indignation and speculating about who was so bold as to do such a thing.

At this moment, Tian Wenjing was driving towards the abandoned factory.

Half an hour later, she finally arrived. After parking the car, Chen Lianjun rushed to the yard to greet her.

"You finally came!"

"You handled this well." Tian Wenjing smiled slightly at him.

That smile sent shivers down Chen Lianjun's spine. He never dreamed he would receive a smile from Tian Wenjing. In his eyes, it was undoubtedly the most beautiful smile in the world.

Seeing his expression, Tian Wenjing almost burst out laughing.

"Alright, take me there quickly, I want to see how that beast is doing now."

So, Chen Lianjun brought Tian Wenjing to Zhang Beixing.

At this moment, Zhang Beixing's mouth was dry, but his firm belief sustained him, and he believed that he would definitely be able to leave this place.

He gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw Tian Wenjing arrive.

Tian Wenjing looked at him with a smile: "Zhang Beixing, I never thought you'd end up like this, did I?"

Zhang Beixing said coldly, "Tian Wenjing, I've let bygones be bygones, but I never expected you to treat me like this. I kindly helped you find a job, and this is how you repay me!"

For Tian Wenjing, the words "finding a job" were undoubtedly a humiliation.

"You beast! What kind of job did you find me? You made me a waiter, just to humiliate me! How dare you even mention it now!"

Chen Lianjun coughed, thinking to himself, "Why waste words with this guy? As long as Tian Wenjing gives the order, I'll act immediately."

Tian Wenjing told Chen Lianjun and everyone else to leave.

Chen Lianjun was taken aback: "What? You're afraid he'll harm you? He's tied up right now and can't move at all."

But he still wanted to stay and protect Tian Wenjing.

"Alright, why are you so long-winded? You're more annoying than a woman! I told you to get out, so get out!"

Left with no other choice, Chen Lianjun had to leave with a few people.

Tian Wenjing smiled and circled Zhang Beixing a few times.

Zhang Beixing's mouth was dry, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

Tian Wenjing, seeing this, laughed and said, "Are you thirsty? I'm going to torture you properly, making you wish you were dead. I won't give you food when you're hungry, and I won't give you water when you're thirsty. I think this idea is brilliant!"

"Tian Wenjing, it's not too late for you to stop now! You'll face retribution for what you've done, do you know that?"

Tian Wenjing burst into laughter. She hated it when people talked to her about cause and effect and karma.

Back in Lin Kingdom, some lowly people told her that she was of noble birth in this life and would be reborn as a slave in the next. She thought it was all nonsense, a lie used to comfort people, and she never believed in such things.

"What a joke! Karma? Who's going to give me karma? Let him try!"

"It seems you fear nothing. A woman like you is terrifying. I finally understand why you were so cunning when you were the Queen Consort—because you were fearless," Zhang Beixing said calmly.

Tian Wenjing raised her hand, wanting to slap him, but then she sneered.

"Aren't you thirsty? Save your energy! Why do you still have so much to say?"

Even if I'm parched and exhausted, I will fight you beasts to the very end!

Zhang Beixing also stated that although he had not done anything earth-shattering, he was still considered a hero in the Kyushu Empire.

Even if it costs you your life, it's worth it. But if someone like Tian Wenjing dies, they will surely be despised and infamous for eternity.

At this moment, Tian Wenjing's face was twisted into an extremely ferocious expression.

But he immediately forced a smile.

"Kid, what's the point of lecturing me with these grand principles? I already said I hate these grand principles the most. I firmly believe that in this world, might makes right."

Outside, Chen Lianjun and the others were keeping watch. They overheard the conversation between the two inside and felt extremely annoyed. Why was the two of them rambling on and on? Couldn't they just get straight to the point?

This woman is really long-winded.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Lin.

Meng Xiaoxiao and Luo Tianrou had been drinking tea in the supermarket for several hours.

Meng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why hasn't that cousin you mentioned arrived yet? I'm currently unemployed and feeling very anxious. I have no idea what might happen. What if something unexpected happens?"

Luo Tianrou said with a smile, "Don't worry, my cousin is very busy."

As she spoke, Luo Tianrou dialed the number again, and the other party said that they were already on their way.

"Don't worry, little sister, he'll be there in half an hour at most."

Half an hour later, a man in his thirties arrived. He was short and had a crew cut.

Luo Tianrou introduced him as her cousin, Sun Tianqiao.

Meng Xiaoxiao stood up and greeted Sun Tianqiao politely.

Sun Tianqiao briefly inquired about Meng Xiaoxiao's situation.

Meng Xiaoxiao repeated the lie she had prepared.

Sun Tianqiao said that his company is not particularly short of staff at the moment, but since his cousin had asked, he couldn't refuse her request.

"That's great, thank you so much."

As Meng Xiaoxiao spoke, she bowed to Sun Tianqiao. She thought to herself that she used to be an actress and was quite good at acting, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was even better at acting than her.

Since that's the case, I'll just play along with their act; I have plenty of time anyway.

Luo Tianrou then went on to praise her cousin for being so capable.

Sun Tianqiao said, "Why don't I take her away first? She's been bothering you all day." Luo Tianrou said it was fine.

"Little sister, since that's the case, why don't you come with my cousin?"

Meng Xiaoxiao thought to herself, if you're going to act, you have to act convincingly. If I just left like that, it would be such a failure.

So she pretended to be hesitant.

"Could you tell me what kind of job I'll be doing there?"

"Don't worry, I'll put you in an office job," Sun Tianqiao replied without hesitation.

Meng Xiaoxiao said that since that was the case, she would go.

She thanked Luo Tianrou for her care.

He also said that when he received his first month's salary, he would definitely treat Luo Tianrou to a nice meal.

"Please don't say that. I'm only helping you because we click. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted so much time on you."

And so, Meng Xiaoxiao left with Sun Tianqiao.

Before leaving, Sun Tianqiao glanced back at Luo Tianrou and winked.

Luo Tianrou gave him a victory sign.

Luo Tianrou and Sun Tianqiao were both extremely happy. After getting into the car, Meng Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly.

The two of them were so smug that they had no idea they had become part of her plan.

After getting on the bus, Meng Xiaoxiao pretended to be playing on her phone and secretly sent a message to Shui Lili.

Shui Lili was overjoyed when she heard the news and immediately called Shui Qingli.

"Miss, things are developing in a direction that is favorable to us."

But Shui Qingli was still a little worried. Although Meng Xiaoxiao was so confident, she was still a girl. Could she really find out the truth?

"Miss, don't worry. You saw her skills yourself. This girl is no ordinary person."

On the other side, Zhang Beixing stopped talking, which Tian Wenjing found unbelievable.

"What's wrong? Weren't you talking so much just now? Why are you so quiet now?"

Zhang Beixing kept his eyes closed, his eyelids not moving at all.

Tian Wenjing asked, "What's wrong? Are you even thirstier?"

Then, Tian Wenjing called Chen Lianjun over.

Chen Lianjun rushed over.

"Wenjing, is something the matter?"

"Bring me a chair, standing for too long is tiring."

Chen Lianjun asked the others to quickly bring over a chair.

He asked Tian Wenjing what this place was used for.

"This place is very remote. Why do you think that young master Long would want to book this whole place?"

“I never ask him what he’s going to do. If you ask me, I can’t answer.”

"You're not going to get involved in his affairs? Don't you live together? Could it be that you..."

"We live together, but we're not husband and wife. Do you understand now?"

Chen Lianjun then realized what was happening.

At that moment, Chen Lianjun felt a surge of joy, thinking that it seemed there was no genuine love between the two.

But then he thought about it again and realized he was being a bit ridiculous. Even if there was no love between them, what did it have to do with him?
Even if Tian Wenjing lost interest in all the men in the world, she probably wouldn't have a shred of affection for him.

Seeing Chen Lianjun's anxious and uncertain appearance, Tian Wenjing couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain.

I've made myself so clear, why does he still look so clueless?

"Alright, you should know why I called you here."

If it weren't for his exceptional skills, I wouldn't have let him come here.

"Alright, you can go now. I need to speak with him alone for a few minutes."

Helpless, Chen Lianjun had no choice but to leave the room again, leaving only Tian Wenjing and Zhang Beixing inside.

At this moment, Zhang Beixing looked like he was on his deathbed and lifeless.

Tian Wenjing stared at him with a smile and said, "I told you before that I was going to torture you first. Seeing you in such a sorry state makes me feel extremely happy."

As she spoke, Tian Wenjing seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly took out her phone to start recording a video.

"Oh dear, how could I forget to take a picture of you like this?"

Zhang Beixing still tried to reason with her, warning her that she would be punished for doing so.

After a while, Zhang Beixing seemed exhausted and closed his eyes.

"Zhang Beixing, Zhang Beixing, I never thought you'd end up like this. Back in Lin Kingdom, you were so powerful and imposing. It's a pity... I should send a message to your friend Shui Qingli and let her see how pathetic you are now."

As she spoke, Tian Wenjing sent a message to Shui Qingli, and worried that the other party might not see it, she made a special phone call as well.

Shui Qingli was quite surprised when she received the call.

She hadn't even checked the message yet, so why was this woman calling?
"Tian Wenjing, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"No matter what, I am your elder. How can you call me by my first name?"

"Who do you think you are as an elder? I don't acknowledge you. Just say what you want to say, I don't have time to chat with you."

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you some exciting news. You haven't seen the message I sent yet, have you? Go take a look, I won't say any more." After saying that, Tian Wenjing giggled.

Shui Qingli thought she was completely insane.

However, she was quite surprised when she saw the message.

How did Zhang Beixing end up like this? How did he get caught? What exactly happened?

She immediately called Zhu Xiaoling.

Although Zhu Xiaoling had changed her phone number, she still had the other person's number saved.

"Zhu Xiaoling, what's going on?"

Zhu Xiaoling then recognized Shui Qingli's voice.

"Brother Zhang Beixing is in trouble. You already know? How did you find out?"

Shui Qingli then recounted what had happened.

"That despicable woman, how could she do such a thing?"

"But tell me quickly where Brother Zhang Beixing is now."

Shui Qingli said that the exact location could not be seen from the footage.

Gao Wenliang was always by Zhu Xiaoling's side.

Gao Wenliang had no intention of leaving. He felt that even if he shamelessly stayed, Zhu Xiaoling wouldn't kick him out.

He hoped to gather more clues before leaving, and his decision to stay proved to be the right one.

Gao Wenliang told Zhu Xiaoling to quickly forward the message.

Perhaps we can find some clues through this.

"Yes, Shui Qingli, please send me the information quickly. Maybe we can find some clues through this address." (End of Chapter)
