Er Niang cautiously sized up the tall figure, her heart skipping a beat.
The advisor was truly the most imposing man she had ever met, with great capabilities and good looks.
However, upon thinking of Qin He staying on the first floor, Er Niang gritted her teeth.
"Advisor, regarding Qin He on the first floor, don't we need to restrain her movements? I'm worried she'll find a way to escape!"
Shen Yizong said indifferently, "No need. As long as the other three are in our hands, she won't dare to act rashly."
Er Niang frowned. "Advisor, I don't think that's necessarily true. After all, many people have confirmed to us that people will abandon even their closest kin when facing death. Especially since these three have no relation to Qin He, Qin He she—"
She paused, seeing that Shen Yizong hadn't moved.
Er Niang pressed, "Advisor."
Shen Yizong turned around slowly, his hawk-like eyes sharp with killing intent. His voice was cold, "Is it because you've rolled around in bloodshed too much that you doubt others like this? She's not that kind of person."
"Qin He isn't that kind of person?" Er Niang's brow furrowed slightly. What did the advisor mean?
She felt a hint of embarrassment, her hand by her side clenching. Did the advisor see her as that kind of person? What was it about Qin He that made the advisor value her so much? They hadn't tried kidnapping others before, they were all just thrown into the dungeon, and the advisor never bothered to inquire. But this Qin He was different!
Er Niang gritted her teeth. The advisor personally hired a chef for Qin He, prepared her meals specially, and even hired many servants to attend to Qin He. This wasn't kidnapping at all!
Er Niang stared intently at Shen Yizong. She usually dared not meet the advisor's gaze, harboring admiration and fear. But now—the overwhelming jealousy in her heart made her unable to hold back.
"Advisor, if Miss Qin truly heals your brother, will you really let her go back?"
Shen Yizong said coldly, "That's none of your business."
Er Niang wanted to speak again but suddenly felt a chill run through her body.
Shen Yizong let out a cold laugh, "Er Niang, you've been meddling in too many things lately. You've overstepped!"
"I, I'm just worried Qin He might really run away one day—"
"Get out!" Shen Yizong's voice was stern.
Er Niang gritted her teeth, turned, and retreated.
After exiting the room, the guard Monkey standing by the door looked at her with mockery in his eyes.
"Well, Er Niang, got kicked out by the advisor?"
Er Niang glared fiercely at Monkey.
"Did you get a dressing-down from the advisor?" Monkey stared at Er Niang's devilish figure with amusement.
He walked a few steps with Er Niang. "Alas, I say you shouldn't bother going to the advisor and hitting a wall. I've never seen the advisor be so oblivious to women. Think back to when we were in Country M, he didn't go easy on that national stunner from Country M."
Er Niang bit out, "I know! But why is Qin He different!"
Monkey recalled the events of the past with some emotion. "I always thought the advisor had no sense of aesthetics, otherwise, how could he not have laid a hand on such a beauty? Honestly, the young lady of the Qin family is indeed good-looking, even more so than that stunner. And she's the number one socialite in Qingcheng. If you say the advisor is attracted to her, it's also possible. You really can't compare to her."
Er Niang suddenly turned her head. "What do you mean?"
Monkey's lips curled into a malicious smile. "Don't you understand what I mean? Er Niang, accept your fate. You're only at the third level of the organization. The advisor was the second-in-command before, and Cang Ying has already been killed by the advisor. He's now the leader of the organization. If you want to be the leader's wife, you need to see if you're worthy!"
Er Niang's gaze turned fierce. "Monkey, I advise you to be careful. After all, you work under me. If I wanted to get rid of you, it would be very simple."
Monkey grinned playfully. "Actually, have you noticed that I've always had feelings for you?"
Er Niang looked at Monkey with disgust, appraising him from head to toe. "Are you worthy?"
Her blunt words made Monkey's face suddenly darken. "Er Niang, don't forget, although the advisor killed Cang Ying, the people from the seven major branches haven't fully acknowledged him, especially Cang Ying's confidantes! Although the advisor has become the leader, our side is full of crises. The advisor definitely won't have time to manage you. Why don't you consider with me—"
Er Niang had already turned and left. "I'd rather die than be with you!"
Monkey's face darkened as he stared at Er Niang's slender waist and perky buttocks.
He narrowed his eyes. When he used to work under this woman, he was often ordered on missions by her, endlessly tested and worn down.
He had long harbored desires, imagining the scene of pressing this woman beneath him, to vent the low-browed subservience of the past!
The thought of it alone was exhilarating—
In the room on the third level, Shen Yizong watched Qin He on the camera, his brow furrowed slightly.
It was strange, in the few days he had confined Qin He, she visited Shen Yilin every day and acted as if she intended to stay permanently, diligently treating his illness.
However, he could never forget how cunning this woman was!
Qin He was genuinely treating Shen Yilin, but as soon as he showed the slightest opening, this woman, who appeared obedient and docile, would definitely seize the opportunity to counterattack!
Shen Yizong reached up and touched his neck, vaguely remembering the feeling of Qin He suddenly lunging and choking him with the handcuffs when he brought her back that day.
He had experienced life-and-death situations over the years.
But that was the time he had come closest to death.
Qin He was indeed formidable, Shen Yizong stared at the screen with amusement.
This woman was truly interesting, it was just a shame she was the one his brother fancied.
However, keeping such a dangerous woman by his brother's side might not be safe either?
Shen Yizong pondered, a ticklish sensation, like the tendrils of a climbing vine, slowly began to wrap around his heart—
...
Gu Corporation.
In the top-floor CEO's office.
A layer of ice covered Gu Qichen's handsome face. Yu Jing hurried in.
"Mr. Gu, we still haven't found the route the other party took to leave. Although we discussed it before, it was likely by sea, but there are no sea surveillance cameras. From satellite investigation, only normal ships and yachts have been traveling on the sea recently!"
Gu Qichen tugged at his tie, his hands clenched. He had never felt such a strong sense of helplessness!
He'er, where on earth are you!?
The uncertainty of her life or death was driving him to madness.
Yu Jing cautiously glanced at Gu Qichen. The current Mr. Gu was like a black hole, constantly contracting and condensing.
He might explode with destructive force at any moment!
