Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176: Ultimately Careless… Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176: Ultimately Careless… Xia Yangyang said, “If you don’t release him, I won’t eat. Isn’t the Second Brother fondest of killing people? Just kill then—if I’m dead he won’t have any leverage. He surely won’t just watch starve to death.”
A subtle change seed to appear on Yuan Hao’s face.
Xia Yangyang guessed right.
Li Zhiqian definitely still intended to use her.
He wouldn’t let her die so easily.
Xia Yangyang now had no cards left to play.
So she had no choice but to threaten with herself.
Seeing Yuan Hao hesitate,
Xia Yangyang continued, “He’s already in this state, do you still fear he might escape?”
Yuan Hao glanced at Liu Jie, who was barely alive in the cage,
then finally went over, took out the keys, and unlocked the cage.
Then he said, “Miss Qi, please eat properly. Your life is precious, don’t make it difficult for us subordinates.”
After saying that, Yuan Hao left.
Xia Yangyang hurried to check Liu Jie’s injuries.
Liu Jie was covered in wounds.
Xia Yangyang felt her body tremble.
All she could do was fetch so hot water to wipe the blood from his face.
Liu Jie finally eased up a bit.
He weakly said, “Reporter Xia, don’t worry, I’ll be fine, they’re just superficial wounds.”
Liu Jie still being able to speak brought a bit of relief to Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang gave Liu Jie so water to drink.
She also got so anti-inflammatory dicine from Yuan Hao.
Liu Jie recovered quickly; although he was covered in injuries, none were critical.
Liu Jie said, on that day, he’d gone to the bookstore,
but was surrounded by a dozen n in black.
Ultimately outnumbered, he was captured and brought here.
Xia Yangyang said, “The results are out now—it was Li Zhiqian. He was behind everything.”
Xia Yangyang recounted the entire sequence of events to Liu Jie.
Liu Jie said, “I didn’t expect it was him, he hid so deeply, he even deceived your godfather.”
Xia Yangyang felt so regret, “Actually, I suspected him early on, but I kept convincing myself not to hastily suspect without solid evidence, and I didn’t keep my guard up. That’s how this situation ca about.”
Xia Yangyang said, “By the way, do you know there’s a bug in your phone?”
Liu Jie’s mouth twitched slightly: “I was indeed set up. I thought that once I left the police force no one would watch , I was too careless…”
Xia Yangyang sighed, “It’s my fault that you’re involved.”
Liu Jie said, “Reporter Xia, please don’t say that. You are the bravest and most righteous woman I’ve t. If the truth hadn’t been uncovered, who knows how many more would suffer.”
“But now even though the investigation is clear, it’s useless. We’re trapped here, in the dark, and we still don’t know what Li Zhiqian is actually planning.”
Xia Yangyang was really worried.
Especially as ti ticked away.
Xia Yangyang hadn’t heard any noise from above.
She estimated she had been in the basent for two days.
During these two days, Gu Qichen must have gone insane without any news from her.
But Xia Yangyang had no way to contact him.
Nor godfather.
What worried Xia Yangyang the most now was,
would Li Zhiqian use her as bait to lure Gao Huizhi here and harm him?
Xia Yangyang felt her heart hanging in the air.
Eventually, she and Liu Jie discussed that they must escape, and at least find out the situation above.
