In the basement, a man was tied up and covered in blood. He looked at Chen Qiu opposite, his eyes filled with horror.
Half an hour ago, the alley was littered with corpses, filled with a strong smell of blood, and he was the only one who survived, but even so, he was brutally tortured.
"Please, please let me go." The man almost cried and said, wanting to beg Chen Qiu's forgiveness in the most humble manner.
He was originally a disciple of the Mingyue Sect, and he always admired Qiao Yu, so when Qiao Yu asked him for help, he came without hesitation. He usually followed Qiao Yu to do bad things, so he was naturally familiar with this kind of thing.
I thought it would be solved as easily as before this time, but I didn't expect...
At this time, the phone on the table rang. Chen Qiu glanced at it lightly, then turned to look at him: "Answer it, you know what to say."
This is why Chen Qiu deliberately kept him alive.
The man gingerly picked up the phone and looked at the screen. The caller was Qiao Yu. He probably saw the missed call from before.
Just when he was thinking about how to secretly disclose his situation to Qiao Yu, Chen Qiu said coldly: "If he finds out any clues, I will kill you immediately."
These words frightened the liaison officer and trembled. He picked up the phone and clicked to connect. Qiao Yu's voice suddenly came: "What's going on? You called me so many times. What happened?"
The liaison officer calmed down his frightened emotions and pretended to be calm: "No, Brother Qiao, don't you want me to report to you every day? I saw that you didn't answer, so I thought something happened to you. How are you doing over there?
"
This liaison officer is very smart and knows how to shift the focus from himself to Qiao Yu, so that Qiao Yu will not become suspicious easily.
As expected, Qiao Yu did not become suspicious, but said calmly: "There is nothing going on here. I have calculated that Chen Qiu can return to Jiangcheng as quickly as possible this afternoon and execute the original plan!"
"Brother Qiao, please don't worry! As soon as Chen Qiu appears..." The young man paused briefly, looked up at Chen Qiu, gritted his teeth and said, "We will take action immediately."
"Well, that's it. I'm going to take a nap. If there's nothing particularly important, don't call me for the time being."
Since returning to Jiangcheng these days, Qiao Yu has not had a good rest, and Chen Qiu is about to arrive in Jiangcheng, so he must maintain sufficient energy to cope with it.
After hanging up the phone, the liaison officer trembled and looked at Chen Qiu with weak eyes: "Is what I said okay? It shouldn't have been exposed."
Chen Qiu nodded: "Yes, your life has been saved!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Qiu ignored him and left the basement. He asked people to keep an eye on him and not let him escape. This man's life was still useful for the time being. He should be killed now in case Qiao Yu calls again.
But it was revealed.
After exiting the basement door, she ran into Qin Ruyi. Her face was a little haggard. She had not had a good rest in the past two days. When she saw Chen Qiu coming out, she asked: "Junior brother, what do you want to do next?"
Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes: "I want to go to Qiao's house."
Qin Ruyi frowned and said: "This is too dangerous! After Senior Sister Leng went there yesterday, the Qiao family is now strictly guarding it. Not even a fly can get in, let alone people."
Chen Qiu said bitterly: "I can't go without going. I can't trust other people. I have to know where Senior Sister Wan'er is hidden. Now that Qiao Yu is sleeping, it's the best time for me to sneak into Qiao's house."
Qin Ruyi thought for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, because besides this, there was no better way.
After all, Su Wan'er is now at Qiao's house, and a reckless attack will only make her situation more dangerous. It will push Qiao Yu into trouble, and no one knows what extreme things he will do.
...
After the battle between the two Qiao brothers, the Qiao family fell into a brief period of tranquility. In the room, Gu Xi was crying.
"Why are you crying? It's because my skills are inferior to others." Qiao Mo was lying on the bed, covered in blood, but he looked fearless: "I'm fine, don't worry, one day I will surpass him."
Gu Xi acted as if she hadn't heard anything and was still crying. She was not crying for Qiao Mo, but for herself.
She felt that she was so unlucky. She thought she could take the opportunity to let Qiao Mo snatch the position of the head of the Qiao family, but she didn't expect Qiao Mo to be so unlucky. Even Qiao Mo lost immediately as soon as Qiao Yu took seriously.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Qiao Mo has been stupid for so many years and his martial arts has stagnated. He has only recovered now. Naturally, his strength cannot be compared with Qiao Yu who has been practicing in Mingyue Sect. It's just that Gu Xibao's hopes are too high.
So much so that she refused to accept this result. In fact, if Qiao Mo had not been stupid back then, his current strength would not be weaker than Qiao Yu's.
Qiao Mo's defeat this time would also cause Gu Xi's status to plummet. She suddenly felt that Qiao Mo was unreliable.
Originally, Gu Xi's plan was that after Qiao Mo won, she could kill Su Waner, but that was obviously not possible now.
However, she naturally would not express her inner thoughts, but comforted: "It's okay, husband, I will always be with you, no matter how old or how old you are."
Qiao Mo was very moved and reached out to touch Gu Xi's face, with tears in his eyes: "I am so lucky to marry you."
At this moment, a shabby-looking van parked at the entrance of Qiao's courtyard.
The two guards at the door immediately stepped forward, one hand cautiously placed on their waist, ready to draw their weapons at any time.
The car window was rolled down, and a young man sat in the driver's seat and said to the two of them: "Unload the goods into the backyard?"
The two guards glanced at the trunk, and one of them said coldly: "The food delivery guy?"
The young man said dissatisfied: "What else? Hurry up, I have to go to the next one."
The guard said coldly: "You weren't the one who delivered the food before, were you?"
The young man said unhappily: "That's my dad. He's sick and resting at home today. How can I be so busy unloading goods?"
"Be careful what you say to me!" The guard did not tolerate the young man at all, and said coldly: "Ask your father to deliver the food."
"Are you okay?" the young man said impatiently, "I told you that my father is sick and is resting at home. If you don't believe me, call and ask yourself."
The two guards looked at each other. During this special period, Qiao Yu had an order that no strangers were allowed to enter Qiao's house.
But this is different in nature. This car contains a whole day's rations for the Qiao family. If he is not allowed in, wouldn't everyone be hungry for a whole day?
After hesitating for a moment, the guard took out his cell phone and dialed the cell phone number of the vegetable seller. The other party answered the call quickly: "Hello?"
An old voice came, looking very tired and weak.
"Why didn't you come to deliver food today?" the guard asked.
"Cough cough cough..." The man coughed violently: "I have an old problem and can't walk. Today I will send my son there."
This is quite reasonable. The two of them hung up the phone without asking any more questions. One of them took out a walkie-talkie and was about to talk to the person above. The young man in the car became dissatisfied and said: "No, why are you like that?"
Mo Ji? Someone else is urging me. If you want to report, I can go see them off first."
"Shut up!" The guard said in a sharp voice, "We have nothing to do in this special period. I'll check the food. If there's no problem, you can send it in."
Without waiting for the young man's consent, the two guards took out their daggers, opened the trunk and started stabbing wildly. The vegetables were all smashed.
After making sure there was nothing hidden in the dishes, they were willing to give up and put away the daggers.
The young man did not stop him during the whole process, but after they finished, he said helplessly: "I said, what about you? If you want to check, can you just take the dishes away one by one? You have pricked all these dishes.
If it’s broken, don’t waste it!”
"That's a lot of nonsense, and it's not for you to eat. Okay, just send it in."
Hearing these words, the corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly, with an evil arc.
