Lu Jinsheng's eyes flickered slightly, showing some interest. "Go and investigate. Also, intercept that head."
"Sure."
The news that Fubi had been raided, the human - trafficking gang arrested by the police, and over a thousand young girls rescued spread like wildfire.
This incident implicated several prestigious families. All the wealthy young men who had participated in the auction were detained.
According to the police, they had received a mysterious video and an address, a distress signal. That was why they had rushed there immediately and rounded up the whole gang.
However, so far, the mysterious person had left no information at all, and the police were still doing their best to investigate.
When Lu Jinsheng saw this news, the first thing that came to his mind was the girl he had seen at Fubi that day.
She looked so frail, yet she could fight in a brawl and was clearly quite skilled.
In a place like Fubi, she was probably the only one who could call the police to save those people.
He Yu selected some sharp - eyed men to follow her and then came to report to Lu Jinsheng.
"I've communicated with the police. We haven't found your mother's name on this list. From the current check, it seems that Madam was probably transferred. But I didn't dare to be too obvious, for fear of endangering Madam. After all, these people are desperadoes."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Jinsheng's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He suddenly remembered the list in that girl's hand.
His handsome eyebrows arched slightly. "Find that girl."
"Understood."
"By the way, I've checked. The signal the police received came from Fubi. Our people managed to crack the signal, but all we found was the address. The rest had been tampered with. Only top - notch hackers usually use such methods."
"There aren't many such people in the country."
After hearing this, Lu Jinsheng was even more certain that this girl was involved. It seemed that her background was quite mysterious, and he just didn't know where she came from.
After returning from Fubi, Shen Jianyi stayed outside for a few days and then decided to go back and settle the score with that couple.
This operation hadn't yielded any useful clues, which made her a bit irritated.
Someone had to bear the brunt of her emotions.
When Yu Hang and Shen Suqing came back, they found the door ajar. They were startled, thinking that a thief had broken in.
When they entered the house, they saw Shen Jianyi sitting on the sofa, legs crossed leisurely.
The two exchanged a glance, full of doubts. How could this mute have escaped from Brother Liang's hands?
Shen Jianyi squinted at them, casually pressed the remote control, and wiggled her legs. "Close the door."
"You... you..."
"You can talk?!"
Yu Hang exclaimed in shock. Shen Suqing also stood there stiffly.
This half - sister of hers had been extremely strange since childhood. She had a bad temper and never spoke, so she was considered mute. She was sent away at the age of two and was brought back at fifteen.
Since the name on the deed of this house was Shen Jianyi, Shen Suqing had taken her in. But now she never expected it to lead to trouble.
Yu Hang was the most nervous. He was afraid that this mute would bring up what had happened in the bathroom that day. Then Shen Suqing would kick him out, and he would be on the streets.
"Who are you? You're not Shen Jianyi?"
Shen Suqing came to her senses and gradually sorted out her thoughts. Shen Jianyi had never been able to speak since childhood. How could she suddenly talk now? Unless she was someone else!
Shen Jianyi didn't bother to talk to her. She casually flipped through the channels and landed on the news channel. The host was talking about the auction incident at Fubi and the fugitives.
She threw the remote control, leaned back on the sofa, and then looked at the two of them again.
"Where on earth did you sell Weiting?"
Hearing this name, Shen Suqing clearly panicked for a moment. But she didn't think this frail girl could do anything, so she calmed down.
"She got lost on her own. How can you say I sold her?"
Seeing her stubborn attitude, Shen Jianyi lost her patience. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she got up and walked towards her.
But Shen Suqing still provocatively said, "What? Do you look so fierce because you want to hit me? If you hit me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was grabbed by the throat by a pair of clean, fair hands. She couldn't even utter a single syllable for help. Her face, which had been full of disdain just now, was now filled with horror as she stared at Shen Jianyi.
Shen Jianyi stared at her coldly, speaking slowly. "I'll give you one last chance. Confess what you did back then honestly, or I'll kill you today. Do you believe me?"
As she spoke, the strength in her hands gradually tightened, proving that she meant what she said.
Yu Hang was shocked. How could this frail body have so much strength?
He gasped. Although she hadn't done anything to him, his legs had already gone weak, and he didn't dare to get close to Shen Jianyi at all.
Shen Suqing was so scared that her soul almost left her body. When she was finally released, she slumped on the ground and didn't react for a long time.
Shen Jianyi calmly returned to the sofa, casually picked up a book, propped her head up, and started flipping through it. "Think carefully. I've got all the time in the world."
At this moment, Shen Jianyi's image in the couple's hearts was firmly established. She was a real monster.
A person's life was extremely fragile when it was in someone else's hands.
Shen Suqing was like a puddle of mud on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She had to confess all the immoral things she had done back then one by one.
"The person who bought Weiting more than a decade ago was Brother Liang... But so many years have passed. The buyer has long cut off all information. It's impossible to find out."
Shen Jianyi turned a page in the book and said softly, "You mean Chen Liang?"
Shen Suqing stopped sobbing and looked at her in disbelief. "You know Brother Liang's real name?"
It wasn't that hard to find out the name of a fool.
She had almost got all the information she needed. Shen Jianyi closed the book, put it back in its place, and then got up and went back to her room.
The couple couldn't figure out what this monster was thinking and didn't dare to ask how long she was going to stay.
Only then did Yu Hang quickly help Shen Suqing up. The two of them looked as if they had just come back from hell, their faces still a bit pale. After a while, Shen Suqing came to her senses, angrily shook off Yu Hang's hand, and glared at him. "What were you doing earlier!"
Yu Hang looked aggrieved. "Who knew this mute would suddenly become so fierce? I didn't react at that time..."
Just thinking about her appearance just now, Yu Hang couldn't help but feel scared. The hand that had touched her in the bathroom that day couldn't stop trembling.
He was really tired of living to have had such thoughts about this monster.
"What should we do now?"
Shen Suqing's mind was in a complete mess. Only then did she remember another thing. "Brother Liang is wanted..."
"Will he come looking for us?"
Yu Hang's heart skipped a beat. A bad premonition welled up in his heart. Chen Liang was a ruthless man, and now that he was wanted, he definitely wouldn't let them go!
"If he's caught by the police... and confesses us, won't we end up in jail?"
Only then did the two of them realize the seriousness of the problem. Besides dealing with this monster Shen Jianyi, they also had to worry about the risk of Brother Liang coming to their door at any time.
They really had brought this upon themselves!
