Chapter 1284: Seeing Is Not Necessarily Believing

Black Widow: "When we were sent here, the President gave orders to take Shi Youxuan's life; he said nothing about assassinating Commander Liu."

Zhu Qingrui reminded: "Watch your phrasing; she is not your Commander anymore."

The Dwarf: "Whether she is or not, in our hearts she will always be the Commander. If you want her life, you'll have to get past us first."

The Big Guy said nothing, but he took a large step forward, his gaze toward Zhu Qingrui changing, filled with hostility.

The Computer Genius: "The Vice President is a smart man; you surely wouldn't want to make enemies of so many of us, right?"

A threat, this was a naked, blatant threat!

But Zhu Qingrui accepted it.

He had thought Liu Min was unpopular, but he hadn't expected that even after being scolded bloody by her last time, these few people before him remained loyal to the death.

He smiled harmlessly: "Everyone, don't be nervous. There must be a misunderstanding here. Let me confirm with the President why the instructions I received are different from the ones you received."

With one light sentence, he made public the fact that Qi Heng was sowing discord.

Everyone here was a smart person, except for the Big Guy.

His eyes widened into perfect circles, and he said in a muffled voice: "What do you mean?"

Black Widow hurriedly pulled him back, signaling with her eyes that he only needed to listen to her and didn't need to step forward.

The few of them trusted each other, and he was very obedient, so seeing this, he stopped asking.

The President and the Vice President.

Neither of these two was a good person.

They didn't trust either of them, but they couldn't refuse to obey orders.

Black Widow proposed that they still follow the first order they received in L Country and execute the command to kill Shi Youxuan!

Zhu Qingrui objected.

He told the group that the difficulty of killing Shi Youxuan was immense, and there was basically no chance of success.

He even went so far as to expose his own family's shame, telling them about the times his father, his brother's mother, his own mother, his brother, and even he himself had faced off against Shi Youxuan and failed.

The goal was singular—do not make an enemy of Shi Youxuan. No one knew what strange and bizarre methods she would use to deal with them, but the end result would definitely be defeat.

The group gasped.

They had already learned of the evil nature of Jiangzhou.

They never expected that the most evil woman in Jiangzhou was the very woman Qi Heng wanted them to deal with; wasn't this just sending them to their deaths?

Black Widow asked Zhu Qingrui: "What should we do now? We can't just do nothing, right?"

Zhu Qingrui: "Of course we can't do nothing. We went to such lengths and took such great risks to come to Jiangzhou; we must do something. You all know about the Treasure, right?"

Hearing the word Treasure, the eyes of the group lit up.

Of course they knew.

They had gone to the Ji Family to capture Zhu Qingrui alive precisely for the Treasure; how could they not know?

"We know."

"Are you saying the Treasure is in Jiangzhou?"

"Do you want to take us to find the Treasure?"

"Where is the Treasure? Let's go right now." The last person to speak was the Big Guy; he was simple-minded and short-tempered, and whatever he wanted to do, he had to do it immediately.

Zhu Qingrui smiled, speaking kindly to the Big Guy: "I don't know where the Treasure is. If I knew, I would have taken the endless money and left long ago. Who would work a thankless, exhausting job at the Presidential Palace?"

The Big Guy raged: "You dare to play us? Do you believe I'll smash your head flat with one punch?"

The Dwarf pulled him back: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, listen to him finish first."

Zhu Qingrui told everyone that although he didn't know the address of the Treasure, Shi Youxuan did.

Shi Youxuan knew, but she wouldn't tell them, and they couldn't kidnap Shi Youxuan or her family members.

That whole family was smarter than monkeys; plotting against the Sheng Family was equivalent to walking into a trap.

"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly are we supposed to do?" The Big Guy grew angry again, roaring and pounding his chest with both hands; in his rage, he looked exactly like a giant gorilla.

Zhu Qingrui was very patient and told him: "We can't kidnap the Sheng family members, but we can kidnap Shi Youxuan's sister."

"Shi Youxuan's sister, Jin Wan'er, is a daughter-in-law of the Jian Family."

Although the Jian Family was also very wealthy in Jiangzhou, the security at their home was not as good as the Sheng Family's.

Jin Wan'er had also never experienced so many things; kidnapping her would be too simple!

Shi Youxuan was a person who valued relationships; she wouldn't watch her sister's life be threatened and do nothing. Therefore, as long as they used Jin Wan'er to threaten Shi Youxuan, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This was a good idea, and everyone agreed.

Three days later.

Wan'er was sending the children to school, and on the way back, she discovered a little boy crying by the side of the road!

The little boy was about seven or eight years old, chubby and very cute, and dressed quite conspicuously.

He wore a bright green hat on his head, a small red padded jacket on his upper body, lemon-yellow pants, and snow-white Spring Shoes.

The child held a lollipop in his left hand and a small toy Dagger in his right; the plastic Dagger was colorful, flashed with lights, and could even sing!

As a mother, seeing such a cute child, Wan'er couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

She slowed the car down, rolled down the window, and listened carefully.

The little boy cried and shouted: "Mom, don't abandon me. I won't be naughty anymore. I'll be obedient, I'll eat very, very little, and I won't spend money..."

What was going on?

She stopped the car, went to the child's side, and said softly: "Little one, why are you crying here all by yourself? Where are your mom and dad?"

Seeing someone approach, the child stopped crying, but still sobbed: "My mom and dad got divorced. Dad doesn't want me, and Mom doesn't want me either. Dad is going to marry another auntie, and Mom doesn't have a job to support me, so she left me here, sob..."

Wan'er's heart overflowed with sympathy.

This is a main road, surrounded only by a constant stream of traffic and no people; it is too dangerous for a small child to stand here.

"Little friend, shall I take you to the police station? Let the police help you find your mother; rest assured, I am not a bad person..."

"Okay."

The child agreed in one breath, very readily.

What bad intentions could a small child have?

Wan'er did not think much of it, and was quite happy to see him agree so readily.

She took the child's hand and walked toward the car; after getting in, just as she was about to start the car, she discovered there were several more people inside!

"Drive forward, don't look to either side, increase speed."

The "child's" voice had changed.

Although he still had the appearance of a small child, his voice was that of an adult.

The "toy" in his hand was also not a real toy, but a real Dagger.

"Who are you people? What do you want to do?"

Wan'er understood now that she had been tricked.

She pretended to comply with them and drove the car very fast; after discovering in the rearview mirror that no cars were following, she suddenly slammed on the brakes, attempting to push open the car door and escape.

It seemed to go smoothly, the car stopped.

She also successfully pushed open the car door and ran outside the car.

"Help—"

The two words had only just been shouted out when her mouth was covered by someone, and immediately after, she knew nothing more.

When Wan'er woke up, she discovered she was in an unfamiliar room.

The room was furnished quite well; although it could not be considered luxurious, not a single necessary daily item was missing, and there was even an independent restroom and bathroom.
