104 Organization
The reactions of the two envoys quickly made Song Qingzhu nervous, her heart rising to her throat.
“W-what… do you mean?” Song Qingzhu smiled awkwardly, though her hands and feet trembled slightly.
The stout envoy said heavily, “You mortgaged many factories, borrowed two billion from the bank, yet bought a piece of land that is completely mismatched in value. The entire Jinyang Group is hollow inside and out. Don’t even talk about devouring Longyue Group—they can barely hold on themselves…”
Cold sweat broke out across Song Qingzhu’s body. She knew the two envoys were busy officials who traveled between cities daily, but she hadn’t expected them to know the situation in Haitong City so thoroughly.
Song Qingzhu was momentarily at a loss for words, sweat streaming rapidly down her forehead.
“Your mission has failed. By right, you should be executed, because we never tolerate failures,” the stout envoy stood up and punched Song Qingzhu hard in the stomach.
“Ah—”
Song Qingzhu bent over, her body curling up like a shrimp.
“Bang—”
The stout envoy kicked her fiercely, sending her flying.
“Thud, thud, thud—”
Song Qingzhu rolled several times, landing sprawled on the ground, her hair completely disheveled.
“Thump, thump, thump—”
The stout envoy ran forward again, leapt up, and bent his thick arm. Like a cannonball, his elbow slammed down hard toward Song Qingzhu’s head.
If it hit solidly, Song Qingzhu’s skull would surely be crushed!
She froze in terror, knowing her death was certain this time, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
But at that moment, the slender envoy suddenly rushed out, grabbed the stout envoy by the collar, and yanked him down to the ground.
“What are you doing?” The stout envoy turned back, puzzled, looking at the slender envoy.
“It’s not time yet. Why are you so eager to kill her?” the slender envoy said coldly.
“She’s already beyond saving. What’s the difference between killing her now or a few days later?” The stout envoy was clearly dissatisfied.
“Even so, we must follow the organization’s rules,” the slender envoy’s expression remained unchanged.
The stout envoy shrugged, “Fine, then we’ll kill her in a few days.”
The slender envoy headed toward the door first, with the stout envoy following.
Only Song Qingzhu remained inside the villa.
Having just narrowly escaped death, she knew she would still not be able to avoid it in a few days. Overcome with sorrow, she sobbed uncontrollably.
She was only in her twenties, had trained with the organization for years, and before enjoying life, she was already doomed!
It was all Lin Qi’s fault!
If not for Lin Qi, her plan would have succeeded!
Song Qingzhu cried harder, curling into a ball, her fists clenched tightly.
Just then, footsteps sounded.
Someone else was coming in!
Song Qingzhu turned sharply and saw it was Lin Qi!
“Why are you here?” Song Qingzhu’s eyes widened.
“I came early…” Lin Qi rushed over, reaching out to support her, “How are you?”
In fact, Lin Qi had arrived long ago but chose to stay silent upon realizing others were inside. He had been lurking outside the door.
When the stout envoy began attacking, Lin Qi almost couldn’t hold back from intervening.
But he quickly realized the stout envoy was tough to deal with, and there were two of them. Attacking would be suicidal. It was better to seize this chance to call for help.
He was about to call Black Bear—who might lack in other areas but was certainly strong—when the two envoys left the villa.
Only after they had gone far did Lin Qi rush inside anxiously.
Song Qingzhu hated Lin Qi deeply, and now that he had seen her in such a pitiable state, she was furious. She violently shoved him away.
“None of your business! Get lost!”
Song Qingzhu scolded fiercely, swinging her palms repeatedly, the gusts whistling sharply.
But no silver needles were used.
It was clear she only wanted to drive him away, not kill him.
Lin Qi grabbed her arms firmly, pinning her down, and said fiercely, “Calm down! I have a way to help you!”
Song Qingzhu struggled desperately but couldn’t break free. Pinned beneath him, anger surged up, “How can you help me? It’s all too late! Why didn’t you tell Tang Long about that land meant for building a school?”
“Because I’m not his mole,” Lin Qi said deliberately. “From the start, I have been devoted only to you. How could I betray your business secrets to anyone else?”
This was precisely why Song Qingzhu hadn’t killed Lin Qi.
How could she harm someone who was so loyal to her?
But it was also because of Lin Qi’s unwavering loyalty that she ended up in this dire situation.
Tears streamed down Song Qingzhu’s face again as she screamed, “Get out! Get out!”
Lin Qi still held her firmly beneath him, speaking earnestly, “I just heard it—you’re from some organization, right? The Jinyang Group is collapsing, so they want to kill you… I have a way to help Jinyang Group regroup and rise again!”
