The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 585: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (124)

Thinking of this, Cao Shixun couldn't help feeling very aggrieved. He angrily swept all the cups and dishes on the dining table to the ground. Only when he saw the porcelain and glass shattering one by one in front of his eyes did he feel better.

The noise in the box attracted the waiter, but he knew that there was a VIP inside, so he asked carefully at the door: "Excuse me, sir, is there anything we can do for you?"

Cao Shixun looked at the mess in the box and spoke after a long while: "Come in and clean it up! A few cups were accidentally broken here."

The waiter outside finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the people inside were relatively calm. He walked in, bowed to Cao Shixun, and then started cleaning.

Although Cao Shixun was in a very bad mood at this moment because of Su Xiangran's speech, he was a man who had seen a lot of storms after all. He quickly calmed down and began to think about what to do next.

After careful consideration, he finally realized that Su Xiangran had to do this voluntarily.

Otherwise, if I force her with my own means, it will most likely end up in a situation where both sides suffer.

Looking at Su Xiangran’s posture, I don’t know whether the fish will die, but the net will definitely be broken.

Since we can't use force, we can only use wits.

Cao Shixun thought that he must find a way to make Su Xiangran stay by his side willingly.

While thinking, his eyes fell on a spy who was waiting at the restaurant door.

These people are like dog-skin plasters, and are really annoying to look at, but small people also have their uses, such as arresting the "suspicious person" Su Yanqing.

During the few hours that Su Xiangran stayed in the western restaurant, she was also with Su Yanqing. If she had problems, then of course there were big problems with her brother Su Yanqing as well.

Since he was reluctant to touch Su Xiangran, he could do something to Su Yanqing.

Let's talk about another scholar! How tough can Su Yanqing be!

This is what Cao Shixun thought and of course did so.

He first told the secret service that he would no longer protect the Su family, but Su Xiangran was a woman after all, and probably could not bear any "hardship".

But Su Yanqing is different, he is a man, and he should know more.

Just as Cao Shixun thought, a few days later Su Yanqing was "invited" by the secret agents to their hearing room.

"Master Su, we won't play tricks on you." The secret agent took Su Yanqing to see a few torture instruments and threatened, "Your body is precious, just take a look."

Su Yanqing didn't say a word, but just glanced at those things indifferently. He was a little timid for a moment, but quickly returned to the state he was in when he first came in.

"Then what do you want to know?" Su Yanqing sat directly on the torture chair. "I am just an ordinary scholar doing research. If you want to know what research I do, I can tell you, but I'm afraid you won't understand!"

"Hey! You're just refusing to accept my toast, aren't you?" A spy who had long been disgusted with the Su brothers and sisters jumped out first, "Don't think that you have the Cao family behind you.

We dare not touch you, we are just using courtesy first and force later, if you don't appreciate it, we have plenty of ways to make you talk."

"I'm already sitting here, isn't it just to test your methods?" Su Yanqing acted calmly, "Why don't you dare to do it? This is different from what you said!"

The spies were so excited that many of them were eager to try, but their boss still had some concerns.

However, we cannot just let Su Yanqing be so arrogant, so the compromise is to adopt a relatively mild punishment - flogging.

After all, compared with those criminal laws that often cause disability, this is a relatively common practice.

Su Yanqing was hung in the air by an iron chain, and a whip dipped in salt water was whipped back and forth on his body. Soon, blood marks appeared on his body.

"Tell me, did you leave the restaurant that day?" the agent asked while beating him, "Did you save anyone?"

Su Yanqing gritted his teeth, the unprecedented pain almost broke him. His lips were bitten but he didn't reveal a word.

He always insisted: "We just had a meal there that day, and then had afternoon tea, and we didn't leave the restaurant."

After being whipped for a while, his consciousness began to gradually become blurred, but Su Yanqing kept repeating these few sentences.

The spy chief never expected Su Yanqing to be so stubborn. Just like Cao Shixun, he thought that he would confess after just a few threats.

Now we are in a difficult situation. If we let the person go like this, how will we explain to the Cao family?

But if he really killed someone, he wouldn't dare to do that!

"Boss, this man has fainted!" The spy saw that their boss didn't say anything and just watched them whip Su Yanqing, so he reminded him uncertainly.

The spy chief looked at the man who was already covered in blood and could only bite the bullet and say, "Lock him up first!"

Then he left here.
