I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"It's been almost two hours and there's still no news. We still can't get in touch with Sister Qingyi. Something's probably happened to her!"

"What should we do now? Should we set off for Mexico City right now?"

Le Fei tried to contact Cai Qingyi again and again, and as time went by, her expression became more and more solemn.

Having both been spies for the Jiang family, she knew best what this situation meant.

If someone has been out of contact for such a long time, in the past, it would be assumed that something bad has happened!

Le Fei also contacted other people in Mexico City, but none of them knew the specifics of Cai Qingyi's situation in the last few hours.

Qin Ge also forbade her from sending anyone to investigate the area around that location.

"Say something!"

Le Fei was almost frantic. "Should I send someone over to check? By the time I get there from Beidu, it might be too late!"

"We can't let them pass!" Qin Ge said with unusual seriousness. "If something was going to happen, it already has. Qingyi wouldn't send a location back for no reason."

"She must have discovered something in that area. Sending people there now will only alert her and could even cause more problems!"

He stood up. "I'll go to Mo City myself!"

"You're going to Mexico City?" Le Fei asked immediately after her initial surprise. "I'll go with you!"

Jiang Chaoning hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go too!"

Seeing everyone's attention focused on her, she felt a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to do my part and learn more about what the spies on the front lines are going through."

She had been wanting to ask Qin Ge what the path he had mentioned that was different from martial arts, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

She clearly remembered the promise Qin Ge made when she asked for help when the Jiang family was in trouble, and it was something she couldn't avoid whenever these things were brought up.

It wasn't that she was unwilling, but rather that she felt embarrassed; she simply couldn't be mentally prepared enough.

"No need, I can go by myself."

"With all these burdens around, I'll have to divide my attention to take care of you all!"

Qin Ge had already made up his mind: "You all stay in the Shadow Martial Arts Hall and wait for my news!"

The day after meeting Zheng Shixun at Yunding Restaurant, he had everyone from Yunxiju move to Yingwu Hall.

There are too many people. Yingwu Hall has a large area and many rooms, which is convenient and safe.

Qiu Ang and his group had no choice; they couldn't refuse, and they also had to be provided with food and lodging.

......

Mexico City, underground laboratory in an abandoned factory on the outskirts.

"Snap—"

"Have you not yet figured out your current situation?"

"Tell me, who sent you?"

In a private room, Cai Qingyi was chained to the wall. In front of her was a man holding a leather whip, and behind him sat two other people.

Cai Qingyi was covered in blood, her head bowed, her breath weak. "I... I really was just passing through here on a hiking trip."

Why are you arresting me?

"Restricting someone's personal freedom and using torture without authorization is illegal, don't you know that?"

"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I'll sue you and make sure you rot in jail!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, let me go..."

"Snap—"

The man lashed Cai Qingyi with his whip again, saying, "I never would have guessed that such a delicate beauty like you would have such a tough bone in your body!"

"Are you taking us for fools?"

"Is it reasonable for a martial artist to be hiking on foot, and coincidentally appear here without any communication devices?"

"Speak up. Once you're in our hands, you have no chance of escape. The only way to protect yourself is to cooperate obediently!"

Cai Qingyi spat out a mouthful of blood. "It's because I lost my phone that I went the wrong way and ended up in this godforsaken place."

"I was still figuring out which way to go when your people suddenly appeared and injured me!"

"This looks like an abandoned factory. Why are there so many of you here? Is there something shady going on here?"

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything and I won't say anything. As long as you let me go, I won't call the police or sue you..."

"Snap—"

"Clap clap clap—"

The man raised his hand and lashed out with his whip several times, saying, "Even at this point, you're still trying to trick us into revealing information!"

"Even if we tell you, what then? Can you still pass the message on?"

"Deng Fang!" one of the two seated men stood up. "Don't kill her!"

"The person behind her is very important; we must find a way to find out!"

The man walked forward, and Deng Fang quickly stepped aside, offering the whip with both hands. "Brother Song!"

Song Yan glanced at the whip, his face showing disdain. "This beauty is no simpleton. Haven't you realized it yet?"

"She's not afraid of physical pain; you'll have to use your brain to get her to talk."

He stepped forward and pinched Cai Qingyi's face, "Such a beautiful face, such delicate skin, what a pity!"

"Deng Fang, this is a reward for you and your brothers. Don't just focus on having fun; you need to find a way to get her to talk to you!"

"Brother Song, you should have said so earlier!" Deng Fang glanced quickly at Cai Qingyi, his expression a mixture of regret and frustration. "She's been beaten up like this, is she even capable?"

Song Yan gave him a cold glare and retorted, "You're starting to complain now?"

"If you hadn't beaten me up like this, I wouldn't have had any appetite. Would you even have a chance to see a beauty like this?"

"Stop nitpicking! If you can't do it, then stand aside and learn, let the other brothers do it!"

"No, no, it's not that I'm being picky!" Deng Fang waved his hands repeatedly, his face beaming with a smile. "Brother Song, I'm not a picky eater at all, and what I hate most is wasting rice, you know that!"

"But look at this woman, she's on her deathbed, I can't let go of her!"

"What if she suddenly stops breathing at a crucial moment? That would leave a huge psychological scar on the brothers!"

"More importantly, what if we mess things up? My brothers and I can't bear that responsibility, so we won't take any action. That would make it very difficult for her to speak up."

Song Yan chuckled mockingly, "You little punk, trying to play mind games with me? Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

"Having gotten such a huge advantage, you still want a get-out-of-jail-free card?"

"Don't worry, now that I've spoken up, I won't hold you responsible. Use every means to make her talk, and I'll give you credit!"

"Can't you be a little smarter?"

"What we have in abundance here is doctors!"

"Why don't you call a doctor first, give her a proper examination, and then decide on the appropriate course of action based on the situation?"

"idiot!"

Deng Fang's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Brother Song is really sharp!"

"I'll go get a doctor and ask if there's any good medicine, then I'll have the guys line up, hehe!"

"You—" Cai Qingyi's face paled, her already pale face drained of all color. "Shameless!"

"Kill me if you dare!"
