Chapter 556: Begging for Mercy is Useless
Qi Tongwei walked out in anger, his footsteps stomping heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.
The man was still coughing violently, his coughs were intermittent and very harsh.
His body shook violently as he coughed.
Seeing Qi Tongwei coming towards him aggressively, the man immediately stepped back.
His legs were shaking constantly, and every step back was very difficult.
He widened his eyes in panic, his eyes full of fear.
He kept mumbling, "Save me."
"I was wrong."
"I don't dare anymore."
The voice was filled with tears and sounded very pitiful, but Qi Tongwei only felt disgust and anger towards him.
Qi Tongwei showed no mercy. He stepped forward and grabbed one of the man's hands.
The man tried to struggle, but his strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei dragged him up and strode towards the bedroom.
The man's body was dragged on the ground, and his other hand grabbed the ground in vain, trying to find a foothold, but it only left a series of messy marks on the ground.
Qi Tongwei threw the man to the edge of the bed, and the man's body hit the edge of the bed and then collapsed to the ground.
Qi Tongwei looked down at him, his eyes as cold as ice knives in winter, and said word by word: "Tell me, how did you trick her into coming here?"
The man looked at Mengyao lying on the bed, and then he realized that the person in front of him was looking for Mengyao.
He curled up his body tighter, as if this could help him avoid Qi Tongwei's questioning.
His eyes moved back and forth between Qi Tongwei and Meng Yao, his eyes full of panic.
After a long while, the man stammered, "I...I didn't mean it."
"She...she took the bait herself."
"We...we just posted some information about making money through investment online, and she...she contacted us."
As the man spoke, he secretly observed Qi Tongwei's expression. Seeing that Qi Tongwei's face became increasingly gloomy, his voice became smaller and smaller.
"It's that simple?"
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, he knew that things would definitely not be that simple.
He took a small step forward.
"You must have other tricks. Don't think I'm easy to fool."
Qi Tongwei's voice became louder and more intimidating.
The man shuddered with fear. He swallowed hard and continued, "We...we also hired some shills to chat with her online, saying they'd made a lot of money from this investment project."
"She...she believed it even more."
"Then we arranged to meet her and said we would take her to see the company, and she...she came."
Beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead and slid down his cheeks.
"And then? What did you do after you brought her here?"
Qi Tongwei's eyes became even colder, and he felt the anger in his heart burning continuously.
He resisted the urge to beat the man up and continued to ask.
The man didn't dare to look up at Qi Tongwei. He lowered his head and whispered, "We...we injected her with something to make her obedient."
"Then I tried to find a way to get her to transfer the money."
"But she...her money seems to be protected by something, so we can't transfer much."
After hearing what the man said, Qi Tongwei's anger completely erupted.
He grabbed the man by the collar, lifted him up, and roared, "You beasts, you actually did this for money."
The man was kicked in mid-air by Qi Tongwei. He kicked wildly with his feet and grabbed Qi Tongwei's hands in vain, begging for mercy: "I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
"Please, let me go."
But Qi Tongwei didn't want to listen to his begging for mercy at all. He just wanted to catch this fraud gang in one fell swoop and make them pay a heavy price for their actions.
At this time, Mengyao on the bed seemed to be in an extremely excited state. Her body was twisting on the bed like a burning firewood.
Her eyes were wide open, with a look of madness and confusion, as if she had seen something unreal.
She reached out and grabbed Qi Tongwei's clothes beside the bed. Her hands were surprisingly strong, and her fingers tightly grasped the clothes.
Her voice was hoarse and urgent: "Give me water, give me water quickly, I'm so hot, I'm going to burn to death."
Her lips were chapped and her face was abnormally flushed. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, soaking the pillow.
This is the side effect of hallucinogens. It can make you feel euphoric for a short period of time, as if you are in a wonderful fairyland, but it will soon drag you into the abyss of pain and make you feel unbearable pain.
Qi Tongwei felt distressed when he saw Mengyao like this, but he knew that he had to let Mengyao calm down first.
Without any hesitation, he thought for two seconds and then acted quickly.
His palm was like a knife, and with a fierce force, he hit Mengyao's neck accurately.
This was done cleanly and neatly, without any drag.
Qi Tongwei's action seemed to be merciless, but his move was well thought out.
He knew that only by making Mengyao unconscious for a short time could he prevent her from hurting herself in this crazy state.
Although her body's instincts could not be changed and she would still be tortured by hallucinogens, at least she could be quiet for a while, so that they could better deal with the situation at hand.
Chen Ran was stunned. His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
In his opinion, Qi Tongwei's action was too sudden and too rude.
He thought to himself, how could he be so unkind to women?
Qi Tongwei usually looks calm and wise, so why would he be so harsh on a girl?
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Qi Tongwei's serious and focused expression, he swallowed his words back.
He knew that Qi Tongwei must have his own ideas, but he couldn't understand them for the time being.
Qi Tongwei immediately turned his cold gaze towards the scammer, making the scammer feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar.
The scammer's expression suddenly became twitching, his facial features were distorted, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.
He knew clearly that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and his only thought at this moment was to keep the peace.
"I really didn't mean it. Do you want money?"
"How much money do you want? I'll give it all to you. I'll give you all the money. Please let me go."
His voice was tearful and he knelt on the ground as he spoke. His knees made a "bang" sound when they hit the ground, as if it was his desperate cry.
He clasped his hands together and raised them high in front of his chest.
His body kept shaking, and every cell seemed to be telling of his fear.
"I'm leaving right now and going to Mian Country. I won't come back in this lifetime. Please spare my life."
His eyes were fixed on Qi Tongwei, full of pleading and a hint of hope, hoping that Qi Tongwei would be moved by his words.
His lips kept trembling and saliva was flowing down the corners of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.
He began to imagine wildly in his mind how he would escape from this place as quickly as possible and disappear from their sight forever if Qi Tongwei let him go.
He banged his forehead against the ground again and again, making a dull sound. Each bang was accompanied by a plea: "Please, please let me go. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
His forehead soon became red and swollen, but he felt no pain at all. In the face of the fear of death, this little pain was nothing.
He reached into his arms tremblingly and fumbled for a long time before taking out his bank card.
Because his hands were shaking so badly, the contents of his bag fell to the ground while he was taking out his card.
There were some crumpled banknotes, a few coins, some small cards and miscellaneous items spread out in a mess on the ground.
But he didn't care about all these. His eyes were only on Qi Tongwei, and he handed the bank card to Qi Tongwei in a flattering manner.
"I still have two, I'll give them both to you, as long as you let me go."
His voice was tearful and his eyes were full of pleading, as if these two bank cards were his golden ticket to immunity from death.
Qi Tongwei looked at him expressionlessly, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
He stretched out two fingers and gently picked up the card handed to him by the scammer as if holding a feather.
His movements were slow, but they carried an invisible oppressive force that made the scammer dare not even breathe.
Qi Tongwei glanced at the bank card as if he was looking at something worthless.
Then, he exerted a little force, and the muscles on his arms bulged slightly.
With a "click", the bank card was broken directly between his two fingers.
The breaking sound was particularly clear in the silent room, like a bell of judgment.
The scammer looked at Qi Tongwei in amazement, his eyes as big as copper bells, his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.
He never expected that Qi Tongwei would reject his "good intentions" so bluntly. In his opinion, money is omnipotent and there is nothing that money cannot solve.
Qi Tongwei looked at the fraudster's expression, snorted coldly, and said, "It seems Mengyao didn't tell you her identity."
His voice was low and cold, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
