Yu Ge’s lips curled into a disdainful and mocking smile. He took off his earpiece and unabashedly displayed the scene on the LCD screen to her. He replayed the scene of her being hit by the burly men repeatedly, clearly mocking her.

Qiu Tong scrutinized Terrence and Yu Ge, trying to guess their relationship.

She asked warily, “You should be in prison. Why are you here?”

“Did you kidnap the General Manager of the Liqing Corporation?”

Yu Ge laughed wildly. He pointed at the nameplate in front of the desk. “Open your eyes and look at it carefully!”

“You’re pitifully stupid! This company is mine, and so is the Liqing Corporation…”

Qiu Tong’s mind raced. The Liqing Corporation’s office was real and couldn’t be faked.

Ever since Terrence brought her to the General Manager’s office, they had not seen any security guards or employees. Was Yu Ge telling the truth? Yu Ge looked at her shocked expression and felt unprecedented satisfaction.

He slowly walked to her and poked her shoulder, a sinister and cunning smile appearing in his eyes.

“You didn’t expect this, did you? You were hired to be my personal bodyguard!”

“We used to be so good together. Maybe we can start over. I won’t despise you…”

Qiu Tong shook off Yu Ge’s hand harshly. “Stop dreaming!”

Yu Ge was not embarrassed. He pressed his thumb to his lips and took out two cheques worth $5 million.

“You need money, a lot of money. That’s why you posted your personal information on the Dark Web, hoping to get a mission and a job.”

“The salary offered by the other jobs will not be as high as mine. Moreover, I can use the Liqing Corporation’s name to ban your account. No one in the Dark Web will dare to contact you again. How about that? Do you want to reconsider?”

When Yu Ge saw her furious expression, waves of satisfaction surged from the bottom of his heart.

He flung the cheques at her face and looked at her fluttering hair. Yu Ge roared, “Do you know what kind of inhumane life I led in prison? All of that was thanks to you! I was thinking about how to repay you every single moment!”

Yu Ge gritted his teeth. He saw the red marks on her face and pinched her chin in a perverted manner. “You have no choice!”

Qiu Tong stared at him in disdain. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw a familiar figure standing behind Terrence.

Qiu Tong stopped in surprise as she recalled where she had seen him.

730 Guangming Road! He was one of the people who attacked the professor! Could they be linked to the human modification plan?

Qiu Tong clenched her fists and quickly pretended to reconsider.

She stared fixedly at Yu Ge and said, “I can be your bodyguard, but other than protecting your personal safety, I won’t listen to any of your orders. If you are fine with that, we’ll sign the contract.”

Yu Ge stared at her in surprise and laughed out loud.

“Don’t regret this!”

He instructed Terrence to bring the contract over and watch her sign it.

Yu Ge’s lips curled into a playful smile. He wanted to torture her slowly. When she bent down to pick up the cheques, he strode forward and looked up at her. “My shoes are a little dirty. Help me wipe them?”

A cold glint flashed across her eyes as she hit Yu Ge’s knee with her hand. Yu Ge retreated in pain. Taking advantage of his retreat, she picked up the cheques. “No matter how dirty your shoes are, they can’t compare to the dirt in your heart.”

Qiu Tong stopped beside Terrence and said softly, “With a boss like Yu Ge, Liqing probably won’t be able to last more than half a year. No matter how he got to this position, I hope you can reconsider. Don’t risk the company over him.”

She patted Terrence’s shoulder and quickly walked out of the company building.

Yu Ge clutched his knee and jumped in pain.

He was cursing and swearing like a hooligan.

Terrence looked at him and thought of Qiu Tong’s words. Doubt flashed across his eyes.

The car across the road honked twice when it saw her.

Qiu Tong quickly crossed the sidewalk and pulled the door open to sit in the backseat. The first thing Jin Yang saw was the scar on her lips. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he raised his hand to touch her lips. “Who hurt you?”

Qiu Tong shook her head and handed the cheques to Shao An for him to settle. She then said seriously, “Yu Ge is the General Manager of Liqing Corporation.”

Shao An was so shocked that he almost choked. He thumped his chest and turned to look at Qiu Tong from the front passenger seat. “Is it the one locked up in prison? Didn’t he just go in? How could he be released so quickly?”

Qiu Tong frowned and looked at Jin Yang. “You should confirm as soon as possible if Dina and the other members of the terrorist organization are still in jail. If things go out of control, the consequences will be too great…”

Jin Yang’s expression was gloomy. Shao An realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately rushed to the prison to investigate.

On the way back, the car was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. Qiu Tong and Jin Yang were consumed by their own thoughts..
