Wang Shilin's entire body was aching so badly that it felt like it was about to fall apart. Her empty stomach was filled with a strong sense of hunger. She hadn't eaten anything for two whole days.
It seems like that brutal man, Hua Qianlou, was deliberately trying to torture her to death! However, she also knew that the grudge between the capital city's Wang family and the Hua family was not easily resolved.
Wang Sibo was his own uncle. His grandfather had once persuaded him to stop this matter for now. After all, he was one of the big shots in the military committee. If the entire country were to find out about this, then it would definitely cause a ruckus.
Wang Shilin was about to get out of bed, but found herself naked. She had no choice but to wrap herself in the sheet.
Closing her eyes, she felt as if she was being assaulted by a wild horse running towards her. Her nose tightened as she could only allow the tears to flow and burn her lips, experiencing the extreme humiliation.
The peaceful life that he had lived for twenty-one years was instantly shattered by that man that was like a little flower. She wasn't a strong person, so why did she have to suffer so much for no reason?
Tang Hu's death was not his intention. She had never thought of killing anyone. In a sense, she was also an innocent victim.
Was the punishment too cruel?
Her soft sobs gradually turned into wailing. She tried to let the tears wash away all the pain, praying that everything would return to its original point.
However, the more he cried, the more empty his heart became.
Then the door opened and Heartless came in with a black dress.
"Young Master Hua wants you to change your clothes and come out!" With that, he mercilessly turned around and left.
Wang Shilin wiped the tears from her face and stopped crying. Looking at the dim black dress on the bedside, she tightly pursed her lips. Just what kind of torture would she have to endure next?
After putting on her clothes, Wang Shilin was brought to the mourning hall. Hua QianXun stood at the side of the mourning hall as she returned the greeting. Her face was still as cold and indifferent as ever.
His subordinates were standing neatly on both sides of the mourning hall. Each of them wore white gloves and had a small white daisy pinned to their chest.
There was an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects. It was obvious that they were all people with status or position. It seemed that in his heart, Tang Hu held a very important position, especially since Hua QianXun had arranged the funeral with such a high profile.
"Young Master Hua, bring her here!" Wuqing said to Hua Qianlou.
"En!" "Let her kneel in front of Tang Hu's soul!"
Under the ruthless pressure, Wang Shilin's knee hit the cold hard ground again. This caused her bruised knee to get even worse.
A petite woman wearing a black dress suddenly kneeled in front of the mourning hall. She was as thin as a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. Those who came to pay their respects could not help but size up Wang Shilin with curiosity.
Wang Shilin closed her eyes and kept convincing herself that it was fine, she just needed to kneel. She had already endured ten thousand times the pain, so it was no big deal.
"A guest has arrived!"
"Guest salute —"
"Bow, bow again, three times —"
"Master replied —"
"The dead are dead, we must restrain our grief!"
"Thank you! I didn't expect that Mr. Nie Zilong would come to participate in the funeral. What a surprise!" Hua Qianlou deliberately emphasized the three words' Nie Zilong '.
Hearing her voice, Wang Shilin quickly turned her head, and Nie Zilong's charming face immediately entered her line of sight.
That's right, he was Nie Zilong. The man in white from that night, even if he turned into ashes, she would still be able to recognize him! It was because of him that he had fallen into such a tragic situation!
But wasn't he seriously injured? To be able to recover so vigorously in just two days, this was truly unbelievable to Wang Shilin.
When Nie Zilong saw Wang Shilin, he was stunned for a moment. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Why was she here?
"What is it? Mr. Nie, you know her? " Hua Qianlou took in the expressions that flashed through the depths of their eyes. He was even more certain that she was his woman.
"Hehe …" "I don't know him." Nie Zilong raised an extremely fake smile.
"Oh? Is that so? But she said she knew you. " Hua Qianlou's sword-like eyebrows raised as he replied with a cold sneer.
"Hahaha …" CEO Hua, are you joking? " For the time being, he couldn't figure out Hua Qianlou's intentions so he could only randomly adapt and see what was going on.
Young Master Hua? Wang Shilin looked at Hua Qianlou in surprise. Wasn't he the leader of the gang? Why did he become the CEO again?
Heavens, what kind of complicated identity did this cold and cruel man possess?!
He could not hear his tone nor understand his intentions.
Wang Shilin was silent and did not speak. She could faintly feel the surging waves beneath the tranquility.
"Mr. Nie, do you want to know why I made your woman kneel here?" Hua QianXun pointed at Wang Shilin and said to Nie Zilong.
Nie Zilong shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know.
"She is being punished!" Hua QianXun enunciated each word slowly and clearly.
"Oh?" Nie Zilong raised his brows.
"The people who killed Tang Hu must be punished." Hua QianXun looked at Nie Zilong and said as if he was pointing a finger.
"Oh? Based on what he said, Tang Hu was far too weak, right? "He died so easily at the hands of a woman!" Nie Zilong said with extreme sarcasm.
"But she also said that she wasn't the only one who killed Tang Hu. You're also there, Mr. Nie!" Hua Qianlou leaned close to Nie Zilong's ear and said in a low but powerful voice that carried a trace of provocation.
Wang Shilin widened her eyes with a look of shock on her face.
Why did Hua Qian Xun say that? She had never said such a thing, so why use her as an excuse?
"Hahaha …" Nie Zilong let out a burst of laughter, "Young Master Hua, you can't say such nonsense!" Nie Zilong said to Hua Qianlou as he waved the slender index finger of his right hand.
"Is that so? However, there's another person who also said the same thing. Mr. Nie, do you want to meet him as well? " Hua QianXun raised his hand to signal Wuqing.
The one who was brought out was the man who was whipped. His upper body was bare, and the bloodstains on his back had dried. The bright red had turned dark red. It was still a terrible sight to see.
"Brother Long!" When the man saw Nie Zilong, he respectfully greeted him.
Nie Zilong shot him a cold glance, but didn't say anything.
"Mr. Nie, you should know him, right?" Hua QianXun pointed at the man who had been whipped.
"I was just wondering why he's been missing for no reason. I was going to let someone search for him, but I didn't expect him to be at Flower Young Master's place!" Nie Zilong put on an expression of realisation.
"Hehe …" Yeah, he told me a lot about Mr. Nie. " Hua Qianlou smiled slightly as he said so with a tone that carried some words.
"Oh? "Such as?" Nie Zilong slightly raised his brows.
"For example …" "The mastermind behind the Hua Group's invasion!"
"Hmm? Would the dignified Hua Clan be invaded? I was really surprised! " Nie Zilong showed an expression of disbelief. The cunning him, refusing to admit it even if it meant his death. He didn't dare to do anything to Hua QianXun.
"I won't let anyone who offends me off, he and she are a warning!" Hua QianXun's eyes grew colder and colder. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with deterrence.
"Hahaha …" Young Master Hua is indeed full of courage. Nie Zilong put on a face of reverence, looked at Wang Shilin and the imprisoned underling and continued, "Young Master Hua, it's getting late, I should take my leave now, can I take this person with me?"
Hua QianXun watched Nie Zitong and his entourage leave with great interest. His ice-cold smile slowly spread in his dark eyes …
Ever since the Great Circle had arrived in Hangzhou, they had established their own territory as a trading company. In Nie Zilong's villa, Nie Zilong was coldly looking at the subordinates he brought back.
"Brother Long, I'm sorry." The man who was whipped by Hua QianXun knelt in front of Nie Zilong and kowtowed heavily.
"Sorry? "Fuck, I, Nie Zilong, never listen to those three words!" Nie Zilong grabbed the man's collar with a fierce look in his eyes. "Luo You, ever since you were captured, you're still alive in front of me. This proves that you've betrayed me and the Big Circle Gang!"
"Brother Long, I didn't. I really didn't say anything!" Luo You's face turned red as he tried to defend himself.
"Do you fucking think I'm an idiot? If you didn't say it, how did Hua Qianlou know that you were one of my men? "Hmm?" Nie Zilong fiercely pulled Luo You's collar even more tightly.
"They... Capture Me... "When …" Luo You's breathing became more difficult, her face turned purple.
Nie Zilong ruthlessly shook Luo You off, "I'd like to hear how you argue."
"Cough, cough, cough …" Luo You coughed and greedily breathed in the fresh air, "They... "When they caught me, they already knew that I was from the Big Circle gang. Brother Long, I suspect that there's a traitor in our gang!"
Nie Zilong pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what did you tell them?" From Hua Qian Xun's tone, it seems like you have revealed quite a few secrets! "
"I... "Nothing!" Luo You avoided Nie Zilong's glare.
"Are you sure?" Nie Zilong lounged on the living room couch and took a sip of his coffee.
Hearing this, Luo You looked up in panic at the expressionless face of Nie Zilong. "I …" Brother Long, please give me one more chance. "
"Against a traitor, I will only give him a chance to die!" As soon as he finished his sentence, Nie Zilong took out his gun and shot Luo You, who was kneeling in front of him.
"Bang!" Luo You instantly fell into a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in despair, his entire body twitching, blood slowly trickling out from the corner of his mouth.
Nie Zilong slowly stood up from the sofa, walked up to Luo You, who was still in a pool of blood, and shot him in the head.
Suddenly, his brain matter scattered and splashed all over the floor. A hint of killing intent flashed across Nie Zilong's eyes as he coldly said, "Hua Qianlou, sooner or later I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."
