The next day, Wang Shu had given Jingyi Wang a call to ask about Xiao li’s where about. Jingyi Wang calmed her down, however, he hid the part where the photos of Xiao li being tortured were sent to him. He didn’t want his mother to worry so much about the matter.

If the abductor was after his family to get revenge, he would face it himself.

Wang Shu cried until her entire body was trembling when she heard that her son had not found Xiao li yet. Jingyi Wang’s heart ached when he heard his mom’s cries. He wished he was there to help her.

—

Inside the underground warehouse.

Xiao like was hanging suspended in the air by his hands, which had turned numb at this point. His eyes were shut and he seemed to have fainted.

A few men surrounded her. The first in line took the lead by splashing Xiao li with a pail of cold, salt water.

A sizzling sound was heard.

Xiao li frowned and slowly opened her eyes. The salt water dripped from her head down to her cheeks, seeping into her wounds as well as her eyes.

It burned her!

It was hot and painful!

Xiao li could not use her hand to dodge the salt water, so she could only desperately shake her head.

All of a sudden, as she shook her head, a slap landed on her face. Xiao li’s swollen and pale face was slammed to one side.

“Stop shaking! You got your blood on me now. How dirty!” A man said in a cold voice.

At that moment, Xiao li already lost all her pain sensation. After the arduous torture she had undergone, her whole body seemed to have gone numb without any bodily sensation.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and shot daggers at the man standing in front of her. No matter how much they tortured her, she never once gave into them or shed a drop of tear.

Instead, she gave off a cool and dangerous aura that was spine chilling.

The man grabbed her chin and said fiercely. “You rascal, what are you looking at?”

Upon hearing the man’s voice, Xiao li’s sniggered defiantly and sarcastically, “Is this all you have? How pathetic!”

While there was irreverence in her smile, it was proud dignity more than anything else.

She looked at them as if they were a few slimy worms struggling inside a drain.

The man was astonished upon seeing Xiao li’s face expression and didn’t wait a second to send another slap across her face. “Rascal, you like to act tough, right? It seemed that you haven’t suffered enough. Does that mean you won’t give it till you face the grim reality?”

As the man said this, he gave Xiao li another slap. This time around, her face had become swollen. Blood was seeping down the corner of her lips.

However, she just stretched out the tip of her tongue to wipe away the bloodstain from her lips slowly. The defiant look on her face never left.

All of a sudden, she braced herself with the strength of both her arms and lifted her leg high, then she gave the man’s face a ferocious kick.

The man fell to the ground without warning.

Unfortunately, after all the beating, Xiao li was too tired by now to give it her all. If not, that kick would have broken the man’s jaw.

The man looked at her in bewilderment. ‘This little rascal, how does she remain so tough? Does she still want to resist at this stage? She is headstrong indeed’

Despite being covered in injuries, she still didn’t give up any chance to win.

At first, all they wanted to do was to take a few pictures of her crying and sobbing, which would make anyone wince in pain. However, no matter what they did, she would not shed a tear or beg for mercy, let alone give up.

Xiao li grunted as she broke into a cold sweat due to the immense pain she was feeling, but she was a tough nut to crack nonetheless. Despite her body stiffening all over from pain, she still forced herself not to let go.

Her eyes were as red as fresh blood. She glared fixedly at the men before her with her eyes as sharp as swords; piercing and cold.

Blood began seeping out from the corner of her lips.

With the sounds of the whip and the man’s angry and painful howls, the scene descended into a complete chaos.

“That’s enough!”

Qin Siting’s cold and magnetic voice rang out in the warehouse, echoing in the warehouse.

The moment they heard his voice, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads. “Master”

“Is she still stubborn?” Qin Siting’s cold gaze averted from his men and landed on Xiao li’s bloody stained face. With his hands tucked in his pocket and the dangerous aura his body exuded, he looked aloof and devilish.

The corner of his lips curled up into a sly smile. He lifted his long legs and strolled towards Xiao li.

“Xiao li, oh, Xiao li, why are you so stubborn? Playing hard to get, huh?” he reached out and tapped her cheeks.

Xiao li furrowed her brows. She gritted her teeth and shook her head, trying to get his hands off her face.

Seeing how she looked at him in disdain, he grabbed her chin and tightened his grip on her chin. “Do you think Jingyi Wang will help you?”

He burst into a dangerous laughter.

“Dream on!”

Xiao li looked at him. Her lips curled into a calm smile, blood seeping out of her lips. “Qin Siting, you might think that you would win this fight, but as long as I am alive and I’m with Jingyi Wang, we won’t allow you to win this fight”

Qin Siting was stunned for a moment when he heard her words. He looked at her face and saw the determination in her eyes.

His heart skipped a beat.

It was true that no one had ever defeated Jingyi Wang in the world of business and in the Underworld. In addition to this, no one had dared to offend him. Even those who did were killed by Jingyi Wang.

Jingyi Wang’s hands are filled with blood.

However, to Qin Siting, he was fully ready and would destroy the Wang family. That was why he came back to take action because he thinks that he could defeat Jingyi Wang.

With the words Xiao li said, fear gripped his heart. When he remembered that Xiao li was Jingyi Wang’s weakness, the fear he was feeling subsided.

He had gotten every information he wanted about Jingyi Wang and knew that Jingyi Wang’s weaknesses.

Jingyi Wang, of course, would never joke with Xiao li.

Qin Siting scoffed, “Who are you to threaten me with Jingyi Wang’s name?”

“Or are you really scared of him?” Xiao li retorted fiercely.

Qin Siting’s face darkened. With a hint of anger evident on his face, he reached out and grabbed her neck. “Xiao li, don’t you dare threaten me with Jingyi Wang’s name ever again!”

Xiao li’s face turned red. She felt suffocated, her face flushed.. However, she remained calm and collective as if nothing was happening to her.
