Chapter 1081: An Opponent Not in the Same League

"I'm wronged, I'm truly wronged! Clan Leader, you can't do this. To wrong a good person without rhyme or reason will bring..."

"Mmph! Mmph!"

Her mouth was covered in time, and the curse could no longer be spoken.

The Ji Family does not like being cursed; if they discover any clues, they must, of course, nip them in the bud.

If it truly cannot be controlled, poisoning her mute is also a possibility.

But she will not be poisoned mute for now, because Ji Yingjie needs to extract something more important from her mouth!

"Clan Leader, what is going on here?"

Wang Yingzhi could not control her curiosity and asked.

Although she was not very bright, she was not stupid enough to think that Ji Yingjie was doing this because of her.

Ji Yingjie smiled faintly: "This woman went to great lengths to sneak by my side, naturally, it was for the Treasure."

"The Treasure, the room I'm in charge of?"

She was indignant and cursed: "This bastard woman, she really wanted to fight me for my job. Kill her, we must kill her..."

Ji Yingjie: "That's enough, hurry off. I am the one who makes the decisions in the Ji Family; it is not your place to point fingers here."

Wang Yingzhi was still resentful, but she did not dare to say more and left.

The bird's nest soup in the morning was specially arranged by Ji Yingjie; every word spoken by the two women surnamed Wang was transmitted to her ears without a single detail missed.

Wang Yingzhi is no problem; she is just greedy for money and petty.

Everything is on the surface, without the slightest concealment.

But Wang Guihua's problem is too big.

From the day she appeared in the Ji Family, she had suspected her motives.

Although a little was exposed these past few days, it was not much, but today's argument exposed quite a bit; she claimed her family background was poor, yet she could reveal a thick sense of superiority in her words.

This kind of superiority is not something a person from a poor background could have.

Therefore, there is only one possibility—she is lying!

There are too many people wanting to scheme against the Ji Family, with all sorts of "deities" among them; others are not worth fearing, but Ji Yingjie most wants to know if this woman has any connection to those two brats from the Zhu Family.

The Dungeon.

In the Dungeon, there were gusts of gloomy wind; it was damp and cold.

Wang Guihua had only been in for two hours, and she already looked less than human from the torture.

Her four limbs were tied to a cross.

Her delicate skin was whipped into streaks of bloodstains.

"Speak, who sent you here?" Nianci looked fierce and menacing.

"No one sent me here, you are returning kindness with enmity, you won't end w— let me go."

She did not dare to curse anymore; every time the words of a curse were about to be spoken, she would suffer even more violent beatings!

Her body trembled, yet beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Generally, in this situation, it means the person's body has reached its limit; it cannot be beaten anymore, or it would be easy to lose a life!

The Clan Leader said she wanted her alive, so she could not let her die.

Nianci turned and left.

The Bedchamber.

Ji Yingjie was playing chess with her husband and had already won several games in a row.

She started learning late, but her progress was rapid, even more formidable than someone like Shi Yucheng who had played chess his whole life.

Now, the couple's favorite pastimes when they have nothing to do are playing chess and teasing the children.

"I'm not playing anymore, I will definitely beat you tomorrow." Shi Yucheng pushed the chessboard away, fuming.

He was unconvinced and prepared to study well before battling again!

"Hmph! You said that last time, and the time before that too."

Ji Yingjie acted haughty: "Just admit you're not as good as me; is it that hard to admit your skills are inferior?"

Shi Yucheng wanted to admit it, but what came out of his mouth was: "I will definitely beat you!"

That's right, it is just that hard, so what of it?

"You..."

At this moment, Nianci came in to report: "Clan Leader, that woman is about to reach her limit."

"Still not talking?"

"Not talking."

She no longer had the heart to play chess and followed Nianci toward the Dungeon.

Is this woman's physical constitution really that poor?

If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take on the porcelain work; since she came to the Ji Family to be a spy, she should have rock-solid psychological quality, high intelligence, and a strong physique.

This woman has none of that, so what did she come here for?

She went over to look, and sure enough, the person was already about to reach her limit.

"Quick, send her to the Medical Room."

Arriving at the Medical Room, the doctor checked her and said to the Clan Leader: "Rest assured, she has no major issues; she is just used to being pampered and has never suffered, so she cannot handle such punishments."

Ji Yingjie frowned, but soon smoothed it out and said easily: "Understood."

She walked out of the Medical Room, her previously furrowed brow replaced by a face full of spring breeze; she was very happy.

Nianci was puzzled: "Clan Leader, do you know who sent that woman?"

"She is Madam Chen."

"The mother of that brat Zhu Qingrui, hahahahahaha..." She was simply too happy; now there was no need to go to the trouble of searching, as she had bumped right into her.

"How are you so certain?"

"It's very simple. Only a person who is a mother will resist everything to protect her child. You have never been a mother, so you don't understand what this feeling is!"

"Go send a message to Nianyin and tell her to come back to help me."

"Yes."

This is great; this time I've hit the jackpot.

Once Madam Chen's identity was exposed, her treatment improved significantly.

Ji Yingjie no longer had people use torture on her, but instead took care of her with good food and drink.

Within a few days, her body had recovered to normal.

During this period, Ji Yingjie came several times, and seeing that she could no longer hide it, she admitted her identity.

She could be dealt with however they liked, but she would rather die than reveal the whereabouts of the brothers Zhu Qingxiang and Qingxiang.

If asked, she would just say she didn't know.

It was always those three words.

After Ji Yingjie came three times, she stopped coming.

She ordered the doctor, "Give her an injection to make her tell the truth."

Honestly, she was willing to ask her out of respect; did she really think she had no way to deal with her?

Madam Chen was tied up with ropes and bound to a chair.

The needle pierced her skin, and the amber liquid in the syringe was slowly injected into her body.

Gradually, her thoughts scattered and she became dazed, the figure of Zhu Qingxiang appearing before her eyes.

He said, "My dear, you have done very well. I have come to take you home. The three of us will go to Paris to enjoy wealth and luxury with good food and drink."

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a happy smile: "That's great, my dream has finally come true, but I haven't gotten my hands on the Ji Family Treasure yet, what should I do?"

Zhu Qingxiang: "It's fine, how could money be more important than you? Come back, but Qingrui and I cannot come to pick you up. You have to come back yourself. Can you find the place?"

She: "Of course, the address has been deeply imprinted in my mind, of course I can find it."

Zhu Qingrui: "I don't believe it, repeat it for me to hear."

So she repeated it, but the person before her no longer paid her any mind, and the smile became increasingly blurred!

The face before her changed.

It turned into the face of Ji Yingjie!

"How is it you?" She was shocked and lost all color.

Ji Yingjie smiled very smugly: "Of course it's me. Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that you were actually having an affair with that big brat?"

"You really are desperate, aren't you, with no standards at all?"

The woman realized she had been tricked, but it was too late for regrets.

"Bastard, you coward, how despicable! You actually drugged me? Sob sob sob, I have failed them..."
