However, the next moment, Song Yan felt a chill down his spine, finally realizing what was wrong.

The shovel stopped just an inch above the person’s head.

Zhao Fu, terrified, closed his eyes, thinking he was about to be beaten to death. But after waiting for a while without any movement, he cautiously opened his eyes.

Human beings are inherently afraid of unknown darkness. Even though they couldn’t see anything at the moment, they would still desperately open their eyes, trying to discern the outlines of things in front of them.

Zhao Fu was no exception.

Although he couldn’t see anything, he widened his eyes. The ordeal left him gasping for breath, and he finally spat out the piece of cloth from his mouth.

“It’s me! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”

Song Yan’s body stiffened, his hands still holding the shovel raised, and something against his lower back cut through his skin, causing him to shudder involuntarily. There was anger in his tone as he said, “You want to make me kill him in the darkness!”

Mei Shu sighed with some regret, “What a pity. If you hadn’t realized it earlier, it would have been so much better. This man would have died by your hands, making things easier for me.”

Song Yan slightly moved his waist, and the sharp object at his back moved forward a bit.

He immediately winced in pain and dared not move again, “If you really wanted him dead, he would have been killed by you before I came. The reason you kept him until now is probably to extract more information from him.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and said noncommittally, “You’re a step too late. He has already said everything.”

“I didn’t say anything!” Zhao Fu quickly defended himself. “1 really didn’t say anything. Believe me! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been tied up here by her!”

Song Yan’s eyes flashed with a momentary killing intent, but he spoke surprisingly calmly, “Of course, I believe you. As long as you keep silent, I will ensure your safety.”

Mei Shu clicked her tongue and couldn’t help but sigh, “You guys are really scheming for Shen Yuan. However, do you still have the ability to protect others now? I’m afraid even self-preservation is difficult for you at the moment.”

Song Yan took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the shovel, and suddenly turned around, swinging heavily towards Mei Shu.

He was betting that this young girl wouldn’t dare to actually kill.

As expected, he only struggled a bit and easily freed himself from her restraint.

But before he could feel triumphant, a forceful fist struck his stomach.

Song Yan immediately spit out a mouthful of saliva, the shovel in his hand fell to the ground, and he knelt down.

Mei Shu kicked the shovel away, held a blade to his throat, and asked, “I’m asking you, was Zhao Fu raping Zhang Yue instructed by Shen Yuan?”

Song Yan glared at her viciously, his angry eyes turning crimson, “None of your business.”

Mei Shu was not polite. Some people’s stubbornness wasn’t due to courage but rather tied to their interests.

Dealing with such people just required a bit of coercion.

“All!” A scream echoed through the entire shack area.

Even Mei Shu was stunned.

“Wow, I didn’t expect a master’s scream to be so melodious. How about you scream again for me to hear?”

Song Yan, panting heavily, knelt on the ground with one knee, the other hand weakly touching his bloody arm, “Whatever you do to me, I won’t say it. Also, I advise you to think carefully about what you’re doing. Will your master Mei Shu bear the consequences of your actions?”

He still didn’t know that the person in front of him was Mei Shu herself.

Mei Shu chuckled, teasingly holding the blade in front of him, “Facing the mastermind behind a rapist, do you need to consider these things? Based on your actions, I believe there are countless people in this world who would want to cut you to pieces.”

Song Yan silently lowered his head, the intense pain from his wounds affecting his condition.

Just supporting himself to stay standing had depleted all his strength.

“So, what do you want? Kill both of us?” Song Yan’s voice was low, and as he said these words, he had closed his eyes, appearing prepared to be slaughtered.

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, amused by his tone, “Killing you both would dirty my hands. Now that you’re here, it’s perfect.”

She took out a recording device and placed it between the two. The blinking red light on top made Song Yan’s eyebrows furrow.

“You’ve been recording all along?”

“Of course,” Mei Shu smiled, “Now it’s your turn to reveal who’s behind all this.”

Song Yan suddenly felt like thunder struck him.

Having been in the public relations industry for many years, sometimes he needed to employ tactics like the current situation to help the boss achieve the goal.

In their line of work, such practices were already commonplace.

Of course, maintaining confidentiality was a principle they must adhere to in this industry.

“I won’t say it. If you have the guts, just kill both of us. But I advise you to act quickly because the people I arranged will be here soon.. When that happens, i’ll use the same methods you’re using now to force you to reveal who’s behind you!”
