“Alas, Allen never keeps useless people around him. I just don’t know if you can still stay by his side after you become a fool.” Jin Enxi, who understood Shen Qinglan’s meaning, said with a smile.
Xu Nuo’s expression changed constantly, but she said nothing.
Shen Qinglan winked at Eden, and Eden went to the medical research laboratory next door. He came out after a while with a syringe in his hand.
The liquid in the syringe was light green, clear and transparent, with a beautiful color.
“This drug can put people into a state of mental hypnosis for a short period of time, making them say everything they don’t want to say, including memories buried deep in their memory. But the side effects are huge, and the damage to the human brain nerves is great. Once it is done, it is irreversible.”
Eden squatted down and was about to inject the liquid in the syringe into Xu Nuo’s arm.
“Wait.” At the moment when the needle was about to pierce her skin, Xu Nuo finally shouted.
Eden put down the needle, and Shen Qinglan looked at her, “Go ahead.”
“I just asked someone to hand them over to the BK people, but I don’t know where the BK people took them.”
“Who contacted the people from BK?” Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan disappeared yesterday, and Xu Nuo was already in their hands yesterday, so it was impossible for her to contact them.
“Wu Qian.” Xu Nuo uttered a name that everyone was surprised by.
“What do you want to do by kidnapping them?”
“I don’t want to do anything to them. Their target is you, no, to be exact, your husband, but you two are too difficult to deal with, so they can only target your friends. Shen Qinglan, they are implicated because of you.” Xu Nuo said with a slight smile on her face.
Shen Qinglan’s eyes darkened, and she walked out of the secret room, followed by several people, “Enxi, can you tell me Wu Qian’s address?”
Jin Enxi shook her head. She had almost forgotten this person, so how could she know where she was.
Shen Qinglan pursed her red lips tightly, “Enxi, I need the internal transaction information of the Shi Gang within one day.”
“Ann, you want to…” Jin Enxi understood instantly that although this was the fastest way, it would most likely anger the people of the Shi Gang.
After all, the Shi Gang was the local boss of the capital. Even though Shen Qinglan was the daughter of the Shen family, if the Shi Gang really wanted to do something, they may not necessarily stop for the sake of the Shen family.
“I don’t have that much time to wait.” Shen Qinglan said. Since BK’s target was her, but they hadn’t contacted her yet, it was obvious that they wanted to take Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan out of the country and then contact her.
If the problem was within the country, it was easy to solve. But if they really took people out of the country, it would not be so easy to bring them back.
And now there was a high probability that Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan were still in the country, and time was the most precious thing for her now.
“Okay, give me half an hour.” Jin Enxi couldn’t think of a better way. Although this method was risky, it was indeed the best way now.
Taking advantage of this half hour, Shen Qinglan called Fu Hengyi and did not tell him that BK’s target was her. She only said that Yan Xi had a little conflict with her family and was now missing.
Fu Hengyi did not suspect anything. “You should also take good care of yourself and remember to eat on time,” he reminded.
Shen Qinglan nodded, “I know.”
….
“Ann, it’s done.” After typing the last letter, Jin Enxi pulled out a USB drive from the computer and handed it to Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan took it. The USB flash drive contained some transaction records between the Shi Gang and others over the years, including some government officials who were still in office. If this information was leaked, not only would the Shi Gang be doomed, but those who were related to the Shi Gang would also not be spared.
Shen Qinglan took the pages printed by Jin Enxi.
“Ann, I’ll go with you.” Sisli stood up.
“Sisli, forget it. Too many people know your face, and it will cause trouble. It’s better for Eden to go with Ann.”
“Yes, Ann, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone, let us go with you.” Eden agreed.
“No need, Shi Gang won’t do anything to me. I’ll go alone.” The more people knew about this, the more likely Shi Gang would be to do something.
Shen Qinglan insisted, and they had no other choice. In the end, they decided that Shen Qinglan would go to the Shi Gang alone, and Eden and Sisli would follow behind, so that they could provide support in case anything happened.
When Shi Feng saw Shen Qinglan appearing in front of him, he was surprised and said with a smile, “Miss Shen, what brings you here?”
Shen Qinglan stood in the middle, Shi Feng sat on top, with brothers from the Shi Gang on both sides, and Anan stood behind Shi Feng in a protective posture.
“I wonder if what Boss Shi said back then still counts?” Shen Qinglan said calmly.
Shi Feng raised an eyebrow, “Oh? What did I say?”
Shen Qinglan didn’t think that Shi Feng really didn’t remember, but she still repeated what Shi Feng had said.
Shi Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table. “Ms. Shen, I, Shi, am a man of my words. I promised to do something for you, and I will definitely do it. Tell me, what is it?”
“Okay, Boss Shi, please be straightforward. I, Shen Qinglan, will not beat around the bush with you. My two friends were taken away by BK’s people. I need to know which direction they went.”
Shi Feng originally had a faint smile on his face, but after hearing Shen Qinglan’s words, the smile on his face disappeared, “Miss Shen, are you kidding me?”
“Boss Shi, do you think I’m kidding you?”
Shi Feng’s face darkened. The people of BK were all crazy. If they provoked BK, it would be a big trouble even for the Shi Gang.
“Ms. Shen, since you can say the name of BK, you must know what kind of existence they are. We have many brothers in the Shi Gang, and I also cherish the lives of my brothers.” Shi Feng said, which was a refusal.
Shen Qinglan was not surprised by this result. People in the underworld were loyal and trustworthy, but this was also based on the premise of not harming their own interests.
“You don’t need to confront them directly, you just need to tell me their whereabouts.”
“Ms. Shen, to be honest, if it was just me, I would help you even if it meant killing people or setting fires. But this matter involves the brothers in the gang, and I, Shi Feng, must be responsible for their lives. I’m sorry that I can’t help you with this matter.”
Shen Qinglan’s expression remained unchanged. She took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and threw them to Shi Feng, “What if we add this?”
Anan took it and handed it to Shi Feng. Shi Feng flipped through a few pages casually, and his originally nonchalant expression suddenly changed, “Where did you get these things from?”
“Boss Shi, you don’t need to know where I got this. If you just help me with this, I can not only give you this, but also all the rest. And I can guarantee that this one in my hand is the last one in the world.”
Shi Feng put the things down, by now the shock on his face had disappeared, and he looked at Shen Qinglan, “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you? As long as you die, no one will know about these things, and I can also solve the problem simply and effectively.”
“No, you won’t.” Shen Qinglan spoke with a calm expression. Even facing Shi Feng’s pressing gaze, it did not affect her in the slightest. “Boss Shi is a smart man. He naturally knows what to do to benefit himself the most. If I hadn’t been fully prepared, I wouldn’t have come here alone.”
Yes, this was what Shi Feng was worried about. Not to mention that Shen Qinglan was a member of the Shen family and the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, touching her was equivalent to going against both the Shen family and the Fu family at the same time. More importantly, Shen Qinglan herself gave him a complicated feeling.
Shi Feng’s hands began to tap gently on the table again. It looked like the same action as before, but Shen Qinglan still heard a subtle difference in it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Sure enough, Shi Feng said, “Okay, I can promise you this, but I am only responsible for helping you find people. The Shi Gang will not interfere in saving people.”
A smile flashed across Shen Qinglan’s eyes, “Deal.” She threw a USB drive to Shi Feng, “This is all the information you want, there is absolutely no backup.”
Shi Feng took it and looked at Shen Qinglan with amusement, “You’re giving me the USB drive now, aren’t you afraid that you’ll regret it?”
“Is Boss Shi the kind of person who would destroy his own reputation?” Shen Qinglan asked back.
Shi Feng laughed loudly, “Okay, okay, Miss Shen, I have to admire your courage and guts. If it weren’t for our opposing identities and positions, perhaps we could still be friends.”
Shen Qinglan did not make any statement on this.
Shen Qinglan sent the photos of Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan to Shi Feng, “I hope Boss Shi can give me a satisfactory answer before sunset today.”
Shi Feng agreed, so he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word. He made a few phone calls while Shen Qinglan sat quietly in the lobby waiting.
Shi Feng looked at Shen Qinglan’s calm expression and felt pity in his heart again. If Shen Qinglan was a member of the Shi Gang, there would be no need to worry that the Shi Gang would not become stronger.
The Shi Gang was worthy of being the largest gang in Beijing. An hour later, there was news that Yu Xiaoxuan’s car was found at the entrance of an alley in the north of the city, and Wu Qian was found dead in her home in a basement rental house deep in the alley. The initial judgment was that it was a homicide. Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi’s bags were also found in Wu Qian’s house.
Shen Qinglan rushed to the scene and looked at Wu Qian who died with her eyes open. And she felt even more depressed. It was obviously the work of BK’s men. So, were Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi safe now?
“Boss, we found their traces.” Anan walked in and said to Shi Feng.
Shen Qinglan looked over, Anan repeated her words, and Shen Qinglan left directly.
“Boss, do you really believe that this woman won’t expose these things?” Not to mention exposing them, even if Shen Qinglan kept a copy and used it to threaten them to do things for her, it would be a good choice.
Shi Feng’s eyes were deep. “I believe her. Keep this thing well. These might be leverage against us, but they may also be leverage over those people. With these, our Shi Gang won’t be restricted by others in every way.” With this said, Shen Qinglan actually helped him once.
Shen Qinglan was driving a polar off-road vehicle with excellent performance. After getting on the road, she told Jin Enxi about the situation.
“Ann, they are heading towards the border. According to their speed, they should have already left the border by now. However, according to the Shi Gang, they seem to have stopped for a long time on the way.”
“No matter what they want to do, rescue the people first.”
Shen Qinglan hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped on the road again.
Just after driving out of the urban area of Beijing, Shen Qinglan’s phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number. Shen Qinglan’s eyes changed and she pressed the call button. “Shen Qinglan, your friend is in our hands. We give you four hours to get to Silla, otherwise your friend will die.” The strange man’s voice was simple and direct.
Shen Qinglan glanced at the time. It was still ten o’clock in the morning. Four hours later, it would take at least six hours to drive from here to Silla. It was impossible to arrive at the stipulated time.
“It’s not possible in four hours, it’ll take six hours.” Shen Qinglan tried to bargain with them, and more importantly, to delay time. Her mobile phone was equipped with a positioning tracking device. As long as there was enough time, Jin Enxi could track the location where the signal was sent.
“Shen Qinglan, I’m not bargaining with you. Of course, you can also come and collect the body of your friend in six hours.”
“How can I be sure that my friends are safe?” Shen Qinglan’s eyes darkened and she spoke.
The man put the phone to Yu Xiaoxuan’s mouth and tore off the tape on her mouth.
“Qinglan.” Yu Xiaoxuan’s voice came from the other end of the microphone. Shen Qinglan listened carefully. There was fear but no weakness in Yu Xiaoxuan’s voice. It seemed that she had not suffered any substantial harm.
Shen Qinglan felt slightly relieved.
The man took the phone back and said, “Well, have you thought about it? Your friend is still intact now. If you keep procrastinating, then I can’t guarantee it.”
“Okay, I’ll get to Silla in four hours.”
“You are indeed a straightforward person. Remember, you have to come alone. If you bring one more person, I will kill her.” The man said with a sinister tone, without any intention of joking.
“Got it.” Shen Qinglan responded, and just as she was about to continue arguing with them, the other party hung up the phone.
The call was too short for Jin Enxi to track the source of the signal.
