515: Chapter 515: Threats to Luo Shiqi 515: Chapter 515: Threats to Luo Shiqi “Miss Luo, this way.” A bodyguard led the way in front, Luo Shiqi quickly followed, while the bodyguards behind her vigilantly watched their surroundings.
“What exactly happened last night?” Luo Shiqi spoke coldly, her tone carrying a hint of chill, it seemed that she had truly encountered something serious.
“Last night, at the docks, someone attacked and killed one of our patrol teams from a gang branch.” The bodyguard beside her slightly bowed his head, maintaining a respectful posture.
“Who was it, have you found out?” Luo Shiqi’s fair palm clenched tightly, seeming to suppress a surge of anger, naturally those behind her didn’t dare to provoke this empress.
“This…” The man hesitated.
“What is this, is there something you can’t say?” Luo Shiqi’s tone suddenly rose, causing everyone to tremble.
“A single person killed ten?” Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqi’s lips quivered as if she had heard something significant—first disbelief, then disdain, and finally, utter shock.
“Yes, it was one person.” The man seemed reluctant to continue; Luo Shiqi’s wrath could spell his doom.
“Take me to see it.” Despite feeling immensely shocked, Luo Shiqi managed to conceal her emotions well since all her subordinates were present, and she needed to remain calm at all times.
A man led Luo Shiqi into a container where everyone else followed.
Inside, ten bodies were neatly arranged, each covered with a pristine white mortuary cloth, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.
A sharp glint flashed in Luo Shiqi’s eyes and everyone seemed to feel her murderous aura.
The queen of the Underworld, having one of her gang’s patrol teams killed by a single person, was not only an assassination of her men but a direct slap to Luo Shiqi’s face.
Luo Shiqi suppressed the fury in her heart, walked slowly to the side of the mortuary cloths, and lifted it.
A clean, decisive slit to the throat.
The bloodstain on the neck was already coagulated, and the facial expression from the moment before death was fixed due to post-mortem muscle rigidity.
A face of astonishment.
Luo Shiqi’s brows quivered, one could imagine how swiftly the murderer had struck.
Lifting the second mortuary cloth, just as expected, exactly like the first one—a clean slit to the throat, a face of shock.
The second, the third…
When Luo Shiqi approached the tenth body, a bodyguard quickly stepped forward, blocking her way.
“Miss Luo, this body it—”
“What’s with it?” Luo Shiqi’s eyes narrowed, causing the man to deflate.
something bad on it.” The man seemed troubled, as if there was something on this body.
“Very well, I’d like to see that.” Luo Shiqi pushed the man aside and bent over to lift the mortuary cloth.
“Hiss.” People involuntarily gasped in cold air, veins even popped out on Luo Shiqi’s forehead.
Similar to the previous bodies, the tenth body also had a slit throat, but what setting it apart was his peeled-open face with blood congealed, displaying something left behind by the murderer.
Who the murderer wanted dead was self-evident; daring to commit murder under Miss Luo’s control was a clear provocation and, more precisely, a warning.
“Haha, indeed quite interesting.
I really want to see who dares to be so bold.” Luo Shiqi laughed in extreme anger, standing up and addressing the people behind her.
“Miss Luo, please calm down,” her trusted bodyguard stepped forward and said.
“Ten people killed, I do not care; what I care more about is this murderer.” Luo Shiqi found a seat, sat down, and said to a trusted follower, “Where is the Master of this branch, bring him to me.”
As soon as the words fell, a man from the crowd quickly stepped forward, and with a “plop”, he knelt down in front of Luo Shiqi.
I am here,” the man said, trembling so greatly he could barely speak.
“Master Ma, if I’m not mistaken, this dock should all be under your gang’s influence,” Luo Shiqi said coldly.
“So, your patrol team was killed, have you found the murderer?” Luo Shiqi continued, her tone clearly carrying a murderous intent.
I’m investigating with all my might,” Master Ma hastily replied.
Then what were you doing last night?” Luo Shiqi said lightly with a smile.
“I was in my office, dealing with gang affairs,” Master Ma stated, looking downwards, a flicker of evasion in his eyes.
“Is that so, dealing with affairs, while holding two women?
From what I understand, Master Ma was in his mansion all night yesterday,” Luo Shiqi said slowly, slowly pulling a handgun from the desk drawer.
“Miss Luo, I, I am wrong…”
“Someone, take him away,” Luo Shiqi said faintly after a long while, putting the handgun back into the drawer.
“Dai Qi,” Luo Shiqi casually said a name.
“Miss Luo, what are your orders?” A man came from the side, the same one who had led the way earlier.
“Dai Qi, did the surveillance catch the murderer?”
“There is footage, but…
the speed was very fast; it must be a cultivator.” Dai Qi hesitated, then projected the surveillance.
“Cultivators never show off , especially not in Yanjing; this must have been premeditated,” Luo Shiqi took a deep breath, slowly leaning back in her chair.
“Miss Luo, I’ve already gone all out to gather information, and I believe it won’t be long before we hear news,” Dai Qi immediately said, then seemed troubled as he added, “However, recently there have been some rumors within the gang, regarding…”
“Regarding what, go on,” Luo Shiqi opened her eyes and suddenly became serious.
“Some have been privately discussing Miss Luo, even…”
“Wanting to take my place?” Luo Shiqi asked directly, Dai Qi’s body trembled slightly and nodded.
“Let them keep quiet then.
You don’t need me to teach you how, right?” Luo Shiqi took out the handgun from the drawer and handed it to Dai Qi; the Underworld is filled with deception and betrayal—this kind of discussion was not new to Luo Shiqi.
“Rest assured, Miss Luo.” Dai Qi turned and left the room, Luo Shiqi slowly walked to the window, pulling open the curtains as the sky outside began to thunder and rain.
“Boom.” A thunderclap sounded overhead, Luo Shiqi calmly gazed into the sky, a premonition of a brewing storm—had the uneasy feelings of many days finally manifested?
