    "I don’t know anything," Zhu Qing maintained her indifferent demeanor.


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, knowing Zhu Qing surely had some information, but she was unwilling to share it with him.


    "Lady Zhu, if you tell me what you know, I might consider letting you go. How about it?"


    "What if I refuse? Besides, how do you know I know anything about Ling Gengqiu’s affairs? I’m just responsible for execution, everything else is none of my concern."


    Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, since you don’t want to speak, I won’t force you. Seek me out when you decide to talk. Until then, you’ll have to stay for a while longer. Don’t worry, I’ll cover your meals and amodation, free of charge."


    Watching Ling Chen stand up and leave, Zhu Qing couldn’t help but panic and hastily called out to him, "Wait! Ling, I warn you, if my family finds out you’re detaining me, they won’t let you off."


    "Is that so?" Ling Chen chuckled lightly, "Alright then, I wee them toe find me. I’ve been boredtely. Lady Zhu, hope you enjoy your stay here. Bye!" With that said, Ling Chen opened the room door and walked straight out.


    Beijing.


    In a five-star hotel, Nanrong Wanqing sat alone in a guestroom, reviewingpany documents.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    At this moment, a knocking sound resonated from outside the door. Liang Zhao Hui, who was stationed in the living room, rose up and opened the door, facing a young waiter pushing a serving cart, and asked, "What do you want?"


    "Hello, room service."


    Liang Zhao Hui frowned slightly and asked, "We didn’t order room service, did we? Are you sure you have the right room?"


    "Wait!" Zhong Wei chimed in, "Let me ask the chairman, maybe he ordered it." Saying this, Zhong Wei headed straight towards the bedroom where Nanrong Wanqing was staying. As Zhong Wei turned his back, the waiter at the door suddenly lifted his shirt edge, pulling out a sharp dagger from his waist, stabbing directly at Liang Zhao Hui’s body.


    Everything happened swiftly, before Liang Zhao Hui could react, he felt a piercing pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw the dagger de had fully prated his body, blood instantly staining the white shirt inside.


    Hearing themotion behind him, Zhong Wei quickly turned around. Seeing Liang Zhao Hui covered in blood, his expression changed drastically, he shouted and immediately charged forward, aiming a punch at the waiter’s head.


    The opponent, realizing the situation was unfavorable, quickly used Liang Zhao Hui’s body as a shield. Seeing this, Zhong Wei, concerned about inadvertently harming Liang Zhao Hui, retracted his attack. Taking advantage of the moment, the waiter shoved hard, causing Liang Zhao Hui to lose his bnce, falling backward onto Zhong Wei. Meanwhile, under Liang Zhao Hui’s armpit, a blood-stained dagger was thrust directly into Zhong Wei’s abdomen.


    In an instant, both Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui were injured, copsing to the ground together.


    After dealing with Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui, the waiter, holding the dagger, immediately strode towards the guestroom. However, he quickly realized the guestroom door was securely locked. Inside, Nanrong Wanqing had forcefully pushed a wardrobe against the wall, blocking the door. Moreover, she had piled up tables and chairs on top to prevent anyone from breaking in.


    Moments ago, when Zhong Wei shouted, Nanrong Wanqing knew something was wrong. There’s no way out, so she had to stay inside the bedroom and wait for rescue.


    Picking up the room’sndline, Nanrong Wanqing quickly dialed the front desk, hoping to call hotel security up. However, thendline seemed to have been disconnected, filled with busy signals.


    Mobile phone!


    Even in such an emergency, Nanrong Wanqing managed to remain rtively calm, hurriedly retrieving her cellphone from her wallet and dialing the emergency number.


    Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock!


    Suddenly, a hurried knocking, apanied by a strange man’s voice, came from outside the door.


    "Miss Nanrong, are you in there? Hurry, open the door, I’vee to rescue you."


    Nanrong Wanqing put down her phone and asked calmly, "How do I know you’re not an imposter?"


    "It was Haozi who sent me. Hold on, I’ll have Haozi call you." As the voice fell, within two minutes, Nanrong Wanqing’s phone rang, it was indeed a call from Nanrong Hao.


    After confirming the caller’s identity, Nanrong Wanqing quickly cleared away the clutter and pushed the door open. At this moment, the spacious living room gathered more than ten people, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui lie on the ground, several young men attending to their wounds. In the corner of the living room squatted a young man dressed as a waiter. His hands were tied behind his back, presumably beaten up, covered in bruised marks.


    Without paying attention to the young man, Nanrong Wanqing anxiously asked, "How are the two of them doing?"


    "Not very optimistic. Miss Nanrong, don’t worry, the ambnce will arrive soon."


    "Miss Nanrong, hello." Then, a young man walked over and said, "We’ve met before, I wonder if you remember me."


    Nanrong Wanqing scrutinized him, somewhat unsure, "You are... Mr. Jiang?"


    The young man nodded and said, "It’s me, I’m Jiang Yunkai, Chen and Haozi’s brother. They entrusted me to secretly protect your safety." As he said this, Jiang Yunkai nced at the blood-covered Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui and sighed, "Sorry, this time it’s our work oversight. I thought it was just a regr businesspetition, never expected someone would send an assassin to attack you. Had I taken precautions earlier, this wouldn’t have happened."


    "Mr. Jiang, don’t me yourself, I never thought even my rivals could be this ruthless." With that, Nanrong Wanqing looked at the young man in binds and asked, "Is he the assassin?"


    "That’s right. Miss Nanrong, how do you n to deal with him?"


    "I’ve already called the police, when they arrive, he can be directly..."


    Before Nanrong Wanqing could finish, Jiang Yunkai interjected, "Miss Nanrong, forgive my bluntness, handing him over to the police won’t do any good."


    "Why?"


    "Think about it, who are yourpetitors? Each one holds power and influence, if the assassin falls into police hands, they have a hundred ways to make him disappear. Then, you’ll never know the mastermind behind this."


    Upon hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing asked, "Mr. Jiang, what’s your suggestion then?"


    "Keep him, leave him to me to handle, I’ll help you uncover those behind him," Jiang Yunkai said, "Miss Nanrong, I hope you understand, some matters can’t be resolved with conventional means. If Chen and Nanrong Hao were here, they’d surely agree with my decision. Miss Nanrong, what do you think..."


    "Alright then." After pondering for a moment, Nanrong Wanqing nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, I’ll leave this to you."
