Qin Tian’s hand moved swiftly, and the dagger sliced across Song Zhe’s legs, causing Song Zhe to cry out for his parents and thrash about in agony.
But in front of Qin Tian, his wailing and pleading were useless; they only made Qin Tian strike with even more ferocity!
Watching Qin Tian frenziedly stab Song Zhe, it seemed he intended to slowly torture him to death with one cut after another, causing Song Zhe to bleed out. This terrified Ma Rong into a panic. Suddenly realizing she could call the police, she frantically searched the bed for her phone to make the call.
After a struggle to find her phone, before she could grasp it, another hand quickly reached out and snatched the phone from Ma Rong’s grasp.
"Trying to call the cops? That’s useless!"
Holding Ma Rong’s phone, Qin Tian gave a chilling smile and slipped the device into his own pocket.
"You, you... Qin Tian, this wasn’t our doing, it wasn’t us, please let me go..."
Facing the murderous Qin Tian and seeing Song Zhe beside him, with his tendons cut, barely hanging on to life, Ma Rong trembled all over. She knelt on the bed before Qin Tian, weeping and begging for mercy.
If only she had known better from the start!
Qin Tian watched them coldly, his gaze falling on Song Zhe. "Song Zhe, I’m giving you a chance now. Tell me, who did you hire to go after me?"
By now, Song Zhe was barely clinging to life. His mouth moved slightly: "I... It’s... Huang... Huang..."
Before he could finish, he was gone!
Seeing this, Ma Rong screamed in fright, her face turning pale with fear.
"Humph, you get this scared at the sight of a dead body? But you act all high and mighty normally!"
Qin Tian revealed a sneer, "Get dressed and come with me!"
Startled into trembling and not knowing what to do next, Ma Rong was at a loss.
"Are you coming or not?" Qin Tian stared at her.
"Are you... are you going to kill me?" Ma Rong sobbed in terror.
Qin Tian scoffed coldly, "If you don’t leave now, you’ll die right here, right now!"
At his words, Ma Rong drew in a sharp breath of fear.
She wept, dressing herself shakily, her entire demeanor as if she was standing at the gates of the underworld, drained of all color.
As they left, Qin Tian took Song Zhe’s phone with him and, with Ma Rong whose legs were trembling with fear, they got into the car.
Once in the car, Qin Tian made a call to Jiang Hu, "Jiang Hu, come over here and clean up the scene..."
Qin Tian gave Jiang Hu the location, the scene, and everything concerning Song Zhe was left for Jiang Hu to handle.
Having often handled post-crime clean-ups for Dragon Soul in the past, Jiang Hu’s work guaranteed that not a trace would be found by the police forensic team, even if they inspected the room.
Qin Tian drove with Ma Rong towards her residence, having rushed away from the villa earlier because he wasn’t sure if Song Zhe lived alone or with his parents, needing Jiang Hu to tidy up afterward.
Now, Qin Tian needed a quiet place to get the real story from Ma Rong.
He had just received word from Xiao Zhuang that Ma Rong’s villa was hers alone and her parents were not in Zhonghai City, so Qin Tian decided to conduct the interrogation at Ma Rong’s place.
When they arrived at Ma Rong’s residence, she was ashen-faced and trembling as she opened the door. Qin Tian followed, closing the villa’s main gate behind them and pulling Ma Rong straight into the living room.
Qin Tian sat down on the sofa looking at Ma Rong, "If you don’t want to end up like Song Zhe, you’ll answer every question I ask."
"Yes, yes, I’ll say anything, just don’t kill me..."
Ma Rong, upon encountering the godlike killer Qin Tian, had already become incoherent.
"Was Su Xuejiao kidnapped by you?"
"Yes... it was Song Zhe’s idea, and I, I didn’t have those friends..."
"I ask, you answer, no extra talk allowed!"
"Where is Su Xuejiao being held now?"
"I’m not clear on that... After Su Xuejiao was kidnapped, she was taken away... Where exactly she was taken, I don’t know."
"Really... really... I truly didn’t have a hand in this matter."
"Hmph, then tell me, who is behind Su Xuejiao’s kidnapping?"
"It’s the friend of Song Zhe’s brother, seems to be called Huang Zihao... It was he who brought people to take care of this matter. We don’t have that kind of power... Qin Tian, you must believe me, I am innocent..."
Qin Tian raised his hand and slapped Ma Rong across the face.
"I’ll repeat myself, you answer what I ask, talk nonsense again, I’ll ruin your face!"
Ma Rong, frightened and trembling, dared not speak anymore, merely nodding furiously.
Qin Tian’s mouth twisted into a sneer.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zihao from the Huang Group had gotten involved in this case, and he turned out to be the mastermind!
Last time, Qin Tian had trampled the Huang Group underfoot after the Zhonghai Square project incident, and then the Xu Kun case resulted in Xu Kun being put in jail and executed. Qin Tian was busy lately and hadn’t had time to deal with the Huang Group, and wouldn’t you know it, the Huang Group had bitten like a mad dog first!
However, Qin Tian was also very clear at this moment that this matter could absolutely not be the doing of Huang Zihao alone.
But from the car explosion that day, that middle-aged man, his power was perhaps not less than Huang Zihao’s, definitely the true mastermind behind this incident!
And Huang Zihao, probably just a lapdog in this matter.
"Apart from Huang Zihao, who else is involved in Su Xuejiao’s kidnapping?" Qin Tian continued to inquire.
"No, there’s no one else... Song Zhe only contacted Huang Zihao to help us take revenge, he didn’t get in touch with anyone else... But I don’t know the people Huang Zihao brought with him..." Ma Rong looked pitifully at Qin Tian.
It seemed, this Ma Rong was just a plaything, even the most core information of the case, let alone Ma Rong, probably even Song Zhe didn’t know.
"Apart from kidnapping Su Xuejiao, did you plan on kidnapping anyone else? Like Su Xuejiao’s elder sister, Murong Fei?"
"No, no such thing. I have no grudge against Su Xuejiao’s sister, why would I kidnap her..."
"Heh, so you’re saying you don’t know anything at all."
Qin Tian curled his lips into a cold smile, then took out a cigarette, slowly lit it, and started smoking.
"Ma Rong, if you are of no value at all, guess what your end will be?" Smoking the cigarette, Qin Tian stared at Ma Rong, making her shiver all over.
"Don’t... don’t kill me... Qin Tian, I’m begging you... as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything, I’m willing to be your woman, I’ll agree to be your lover forever, please don’t kill me... wuu..."
Ma Rong started sobbing, the fear of death driving her to despair.
"Hmpf, a slut like you, worthy to serve me?"
Qin Tian reached out and pinched Ma Rong’s fair chin, his tiger-like eyes gazing into hers as he spoke deliberately: "Now, you have one last chance to save yourself, do you want it, or not?"
