He did not ask any more questions about this unreasonable behavior. He opened the back door, asked Lu Qiongqi to sit down, and then a black car slowly drove out of the villa gate.

So, half an hour later.

The Lu family's car with license plate number Yong A appeared on the streets of the city in a swaggering manner, and then drove slowly north at a speed of 40 miles per hour.

The car drove onto a quiet and deserted street.

There were hardly any households around, only some dilapidated old houses. Even Uncle Lin, who was very familiar with the road, had never been here.

He asked hesitantly, "Miss Seven, let's turn around."

As soon as they arrived at this street, Lu Qiongqi felt something, and she directed with shining eyes: "Drive further in."

The car continued driving for another two hundred meters before arriving at a dark alley. The alley was so narrow that the car couldn't get in.

Lu Qiongqi said decisively: "Uncle Lin, I'll go down and take a look."

"I'd better accompany you." The butler's eyebrows were squeezed together.

"No, just wait for me in the car, I'll be back soon."

"This won't do..." If something happened, how would he explain to the Lu family? The housekeeper unbuckled her seat belt and was about to accompany her out of the car.

Lu Qiongqi said in a firm tone, without any doubt: "It's okay if I say so. Just be the housekeeper and don't worry about me."

Seeing that she was very insistent, Uncle Lin hesitated for a while and could only agree reluctantly, but still reminded her: "Miss Qi, if you have anything, call me immediately. I'll wait for you here."

Lu Qiongqi responded confidently: "Don't worry." Then he jumped out of the car lightly.

The original owner had a congenital heart disease and was weak. She had to find a way to solve her heart disease as soon as possible, otherwise she didn't know when the disease would take her life.

The Lu family is very wealthy, but they haven't found a cure.

This means that current medical methods are of no use to her.

She can only find a way to cure this disease on her own.

The alley is deep and winding.

Lu Qiongqi walked through the crowd quietly, her steps as light as leaves in the wind. She carefully avoided the debris on the ground without making any sound.

At the turn of the alley, her ears moved.

Animals have excellent hearing. She heard subtle and complex sounds, distinguishing between talking, insults, the sound of sticks hitting, and the muffled groans of unbearable pain.

She guessed that there must be a fierce fight going on here.

No, it can’t be called a fight, it should be said that it was...a one-sided beating.

As Lu Qiongqi got closer, the sounds she heard became more real; she could even smell the blood in the air.

A middle-aged man's rough voice sounded: "You are really a tough guy. You didn't say a word even after being beaten like this."

Then came the sound of sticks falling and the man's sneer.

"You are just so stubborn!"

The person being beaten was breathing more and more heavily, but he never begged for mercy or shouted.

"Okay, let's see which is harder, your bones or my iron rod!"

It seemed as if someone had changed tools, and then there was a sound of steel hitting bone, and the person being beaten finally let out a painful groan from his throat.

Lu Qiongqi stuck his head out and saw the whole alley. The ground was full of worn-out clothes and debris, like a used clothes recycling station.

Several sturdy men cornered a man. Judging from his figure, he looked like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He leaned against the wall, holding a black backpack tightly in his hands. His body was covered in blood, but no matter how they beat him, he refused to let go.

There was a "bang" sound.

The middle-aged man threw away the steel rod in his hand, and the younger brother next to him handed him a knife with a look of understanding.

He spat, "You crazy boy, since you want money but not your life, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

The boy lowered his head, his eyes were a little dazed, the tip of the knife was only a few centimeters away from him, he couldn't dodge it, nor could he escape, even in this situation, he still held the backpack tightly in his hands.

It's as if he treats it as something more important than his own life.

The middle-aged man lowered his chin, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and the tip of the knife flashed silver, about to stab into the boy's thigh.

"Keep people under the sword."

At this time, a thin figure walked out slowly from the side.

A few people looked back and saw a woman in pure white clothes and with a beautiful face standing there, like a delicate flower that was not tainted by the mundane world.

Lu Qiongqi asked with a smile in his eyes: "Brother, do you want to kill him like this?"

The middle-aged man turned around and saw this nosy person. He said impatiently: "Where did you come from, wild girl? Don't get in the way here."

Lu Qiongqi walked a few steps closer, crossed his arms, and analyzed: "Just giving him a knife would be too easy for him."

Hearing that she was not here to cause trouble and had new tricks, the middle-aged man put away the knife and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, do you have any other good ideas?"

Lu Qiongqi touched his chin and said, "I heard there's a good way. Heat the needles and insert them into the skin on his back. If the needles remain in his body, they will form wounds that are difficult to heal, and he will continue to feel the pain of being pricked by the needles."

This woman looks weak and pure, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious character.

The middle-aged man threw away his cigarette butt and blew out a puff of smoke, saying with interest: "With such a sinister move, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious woman."

She nodded calmly, with the corner of her mouth slightly raised.

"Thanks for the compliment."

The middle-aged man laughed out loud: "You are an interesting person." After saying that, his eyes flashed with amusement as he looked her up and down.

At this moment, the boy who had been silent suddenly spoke, his eyes bloodshot, and called out her name.

"Lu Qiongqi!"

Does he know himself?

Lu Qiongqi looked at him, confused.

Who are you, buddy?

But she had no impression of him, and could not find him in the original owner's memory. This man was beaten so badly that his face was almost swollen and unrecognizable, making it even harder for Lu Qiongqi, who was already a little face-blind, to recognize him.

"Do you know each other?" The middle-aged man began to realize something: "Oh? So there is a grudge between you two? Do you want to use me to torture him?"

"Come on, sister. Since you just called me brother, I'll protect you. Here's the knife. You can stab me as you like."

Lu Qiongqi did not deny it. She took the knife handed to her by the middle-aged man and walked towards the boy step by step.

The middle-aged man on her right looked like he was enjoying a good show, his face shaking with laughter: "Don't be afraid, do this job, and follow me, your brother, and I will guarantee you a happy life."

Several younger brothers also laughed evilly.

Behind them, which they could not see, Lu Qiongqi's eyes became sharp.

"In that case, I'd like to..."

When he heard that she was going to kill him, the boy's pupils contracted rapidly, and anger and humiliation were written in his eyes.

He closed his eyes in despair.
