Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Outside of the Wei Sheng Family, the remaining three families all lived in the same area.
Qiao Chuchu was listless. After getting out of the car, she went straight back to her room.
Pei Yuan walked up to Lou Tingsi and asked directly, "You said you'd tell us who kidnapped Qiao Chuchu after we saw her, but we were interrupted by the Wei Sheng Clan when we met her. Now you can tell us, right?"
The other brothers of the Pei family gathered around to listen.
Lou Tingsi, with his hands in his pockets, said lazily, "I found out, and I didn't find out. It's indeed an organization that specializes in this kind of work. I didn't find any connection between Ji Yanchuan and them. Ji Yanchuan didn't transfer money to them, and they didn't have any overseas remittances. It's likely that Ji Yanchuan found someone to handle it indirectly, without leaving any traces."
At this point, Lou Tingsi shrugged nonchalantly, "People in our circle never get their hands dirty. Obviously, Ji Yanchuan is also wary of you."
Pei Yuan's gaze darkened, "Give me the contact information of that bunch of scumbags."
"I've already sent someone to clean up," Lou Tingsi said with a fox-like smile, "I'm quite adept at this kind of thing. Besides, since I've joined you, I should show some sincerity."
Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, "What if you let them slip?"
"Ha!" Lou Tingsi laughed disdainfully, "I'll have evidence to prove I didn't let them go. Moreover, Qiao Chuchu's life is much more important. She's the key to my son's and my survival."
Pei Yuan said coldly, "True. If you harm Qiao Chuchu, you're digging your own grave."
He continued to ask, "Was Li Jiahao's case done by Weisheng Yucan?"
Lou Tingsi's eyes flickered, and he said with a chuckle, "The reports said Li Jiahao committed suicide. He even called his family and wrote a suicide note before he died. So, I suggest we don't doubt it."
"But there's one thing," Lou Tingsi said confidently, "I'm sure the siblings of the Wei Sheng Clan can hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts."
Pei Yuan: "..."
Lou Tingsi smiled, but his eyes didn't reach his smile, "The Wei Sheng Clan is the most prominent among our families. Their family of five is ruthless and decisive, leaving no loose ends. Each of them is a god in their own territory. They despise each other's personalities and ways of handling things, always mocking each other when they meet, but they appear extremely united in front of outsiders."
Lou Tingsi's smile turned cold, "If they want to take Qiao Chuchu and find us in their way, they might just kill us. So, it's advisable not to confront them head-on. Maintain surface relationships; otherwise, we'll all be dead, and this game will lose its meaning."
Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Even with your power, do they dare to kill you?"
Lou Tingsi sighed, expressing his helplessness, "Having too much is always tempting. Just like Qiao Chuchu holding the script of our lives, she has many scripts, and she remembers all the details of every character. She holds our lives in her hands."
As Lou Tingsi spoke, his interest grew, and his tone inevitably rose, "Protecting her should be our top priority. Be careful of the Wei Sheng Clan; you never know what they might do."
Pei Yuan's face darkened as he thought of Weisheng Yucan's cunning demeanor and Weisheng Huailing's enigmatic smile. He clenched his fists in worry.
The worst scenario he feared had happened so soon.
More people had appeared who could hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts.
And these people were unpredictable, unknown in their allegiances, and undoubtedly dangerous.

Weisheng Huailing stood by the window, engrossed in a comic book.
Someone lightly patted his shoulder.
He turned around to see four men standing behind him.
All dressed in sharp suits, impeccably dressed, and exuding an extraordinary aura.
He smiled casually, sitting on the windowsill and swinging the comic book in his hand.
"Qiao Chuchu's comic. It's pretty good."
Weisheng Yucan slightly raised her head and said to the three men beside her, "I've already told you everything. What are your plans?"
Elder Brother's tone was cold, "I don't believe it."
Second Brother sneered, "What era are we in? Still believing in such feudal superstition? You're not going to start fasting and chanting like Fourth Brother, are you?"
Fourth Brother played with his prayer beads and taunted, "Third Sister, you should stop messing around with men. Love and affection are not for you. Look at you, indulging in pleasure, and now you're so delusional you're hearing things."
Yucan didn't care, "I know you don't believe me, but both I and Little Five can hear Qiao Chuchu's voice. Even Little Five, who has never heard a voice before, could directly understand her when her voice reached his mind. It's nothing short of a medical miracle."
Huailing signed, his eyes and brows filled with satisfaction, "Her voice is very pleasant. I look forward to hearing her think my name."
Elder Brother sneered, "Then let's do a little test. Kidnap her here and scare her a bit."
Yucan asked curiously, "How do we scare her?"
Elder Brother said calmly, "Ask her if she thinks Li Jiahao's death is related to us. Force her to report it and test her character. At the same time, check if she's really as you say—if her thoughts can be heard by us 'supporting characters.'"
Yucan's eyes lit up, and she smiled contentedly, "Huailing."
Huailing had been reading their lips and roughly understood what they meant.
Yucan ordered, "Go do it."
Huailing smiled happily and left.

Qiao Chuchu woke up from her sleep, vaguely realizing she was sitting in a chair.
Her head was covered by something.
Was it a dream?
She wanted to remove the black hood over her head, but her hands were bound by ropes.
Qiao Chuchu was stunned and tried to pull hard!
She couldn't move!
She became more terrified, her drowsiness instantly disappearing. She struggled with all her might on the chair!
Her hands and feet were trapped.
She was restrained!
Qiao Chuchu's breathing suddenly became rapid as she thought of the incident today where she almost got assaulted.
Was it that gang again who wanted to rape her?
But they had already been caught!
Could it be that the person behind the scenes was seeking revenge?
A deep male voice sounded, "Stop moving. Just answer the questions properly; we won't do anything to you."
Qiao Chuchu opened her mouth.
The man cut her off coldly, "Don't ask stupid questions like who we are or who sent us."
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
[What the hell! What kind of life do I have?! My day has been so full of misfortune! I've done plenty of good deeds too!]
The man was stunned and shook his head.
What was that noise?!
Weisheng Yucan sat across from Qiao Chuchu, smiling faintly as she looked at her shocked brothers on either side and signed, "Can you hear her thoughts, right?"
Huailing teased his brothers.
The three men were shocked, staring at the tightly bound Qiao Chuchu.
They really could hear her.
Second Brother cleared his throat, suppressing his surprise, "I'll ask you. Was Li Jiahao killed by Weisheng Yucan?"
Qiao Chuchu was puzzled, "You can't say that without evidence."
Second Brother was displeased, "I'm asking you!"
Qiao Chuchu trembled, "Of course not! The reports said he committed suicide. Although the logic doesn't add up, I wouldn't slander someone. Maybe someone else killed him."
A dagger suddenly pointed at her throat!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The cold, sharp pain pierced through her skin!
Second Brother threatened her sinisterly, "Think again, carefully."
Qiao Chuchu was feeling wronged, "Brother, I really don't think so. I don't know the details, and I wouldn't speculate about someone without evidence. Sister Yucan even gave him money, who would give money and then kill someone? She's not that stupid!"
Yucan: "..."
Qiao Chuchu felt exhausted, "I have no evidence, and neither do you, but I believe you're a good person. Please let me go!~"
[What's wrong with this guy?! I've already said I don't know, yet he keeps asking! Do you think I'm a petty person who would falsely accuse someone without evidence?!](I really want to jump up and smash the chair over his head, like a superman, and kick him up into the tree branches!)
Second Brother: "?"
