64 -64: The Unsigned Check
“The symptoms of AIDS are too numerous and vague.
Even a common cold might raise suspicions of having contracted AIDS.
Are you just cold, or have you really been infected?
Who can tell for sure?
I’m giving you one last chance, are you going to talk, or not?!”
Zhou Yun saw that he did not believe her, and she became so anxious that tears started to fall.
“No one told me to do this!
Even if you kill me, I’ll say the same thing.
What do you want me to say?
Whether I’ve been infected or not, we’ll know once the results are out!
You have to believe me; I don’t want to get that disease, let alone harm you.
I have no grudge against you, why would I want to harm you?”
Rong Shaoze’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a cold voice, “It seems you still don’t understand what I’m asking!
Do you think I’m really worried about being infected by you?
I want you to tell me who sent you to set me up, and to whom did you leak the information?!”
“There is no one, nobody at all!”
“Will you talk or not?!”
Zhou Yun shook her head vigorously, her tears wetting her pale little face, “I told you, there’s no one.
Shaoze, you have to believe me, it’s really nobody.”
Rong Shaoze was truly angry now.
This woman was too stubborn; it seemed he had to teach her a lesson before she would talk.
He signaled his men with a glance, and a man took out a test tube with a needle attached from a prepared box.
The tube was filled with red liquid.
He walked up to Zhou Yun, rolled up her sleeve, and the sharp needle aimed at the blue vein on her elbow.
Rong Shaoze’s chilling words floated over, “Do you know what’s in there?
It’s blood drawn from an AIDS patient.
As soon as the needle pricks into your vein, you’ll really be infected with AIDS.
Since everyone already believes you’re infected, one more time won’t make a difference, right?”
Zhou Yun stared at the glaring red liquid in the test tube, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Her face was pale, her small mouth trembling, yet she could not utter a word.
She never imagined Rong Shaoze could be so ruthless.
He was too cruel, someone she could not afford to provoke.
“If she won’t talk, do it!” Rong Shaoze shouted angrily.
Zhou Yun startled, her face turned even paler.
The needle touched her skin, and the cold sensation made her hair stand on end.
It was like a cold snake wrapping around her entire body.
Rong Shaoze was not bluffing her, nor would he give her another chance.
If she didn’t talk, he was going to make her truly contract AIDS.
In the second before the needle was about to pierce her, Zhou Yun couldn’t care about anything else and yelled out, “I’ll talk!
I’ll tell you everything!”
Rong Shaoze smirked devilishly; no one could remain silent under his means.
“Who was it?” he asked dangerously.
Zhou Yun saw the needle moving away from her and breathed a sigh of relief, her back drenched in sweat just from those moments.
“I don’t know that person…” she stuttered, “After I started keeping company with you, he sent someone to approach me, offering me two million to pretend to show symptoms of AIDS.
I don’t know what happened after that; I just did as I was told and pretended to be sick with AIDS.
I didn’t do anything else, and I didn’t leak any information.
Shaoze, you have to believe me, this is all I know!”
“Are you sure?” Rong Shaoze asked, raising an eyebrow lightly.
“Positive!” Zhou Yun nodded emphatically, “I do not have AIDS; I was just cold at that time.
Shaoze, please let me go, I won’t dare to do it again.”
“How did he give you the money?”
“A check, an unsigned check.
I can show it to you if you don’t believe me.”
Rong Shaoze motioned to his men to let her go.
