Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 724 - 721: Otherwise, I will grind your bones to dust!

As if reminded of something, Xiao Qing’s red lips pursed tightly into a straight line, anxiety rushing to her heart as her footsteps quickened.

Inside the room, Xiao Sewei was bound tightly to a wooden post, soaked through and through, yet no injuries could be seen on her.

Her face was pale, her gaze was distant, her brows were furrowed—as if she had been tortured thousands of times.

This was Xiao Qing’s first impression upon seeing her.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Sewei barely lifted her eyelids, and upon recognizing the newcomer, she immediately lowered her head again.

"Heh~ Everyone’s here. What, do you all want to see the Actress’s irresistible naked charms?"

Before Lu Jinyang could even react, Leng Yixing barked furiously, "Shut up! Provoke us again, and you’ll get another taste of those tools."

Whatever flashed through her mind, Xiao Sewei’s face went from mocking to sheer horror in the span of a second.

However, for Xiao Qing, none of these expressions were of the utmost importance; what occupied her mind was the sentence Xiao Sewei had uttered just moments ago.

If she hadn’t misheard, did Xiao Sewei claim to possess a video featuring the Actress’s nakedness?

Connecting this with what Leng Yixing had said earlier made her tremble uncontrollably.

Indeed, there was a period after giving birth to her treasures that she couldn’t quite remember—a month or so.

In that month, she couldn’t recall what she did, what her children looked like, or how much they had grown—she could only find a few photos on her phone, without any memory of taking them.

Could it have happened during that time?

No! Impossible!

She had been living with her parents the whole time; if anything was amiss, they would have noticed!

Thinking thus, her mind eased somewhat. She would call them later to confirm!

As she was thinking, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace.

Xiao Qing looked up, locking eyes with a pair of deep, dark pupils.

"Don’t overthink it. I’ll get to the bottom of this," he said.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth towards him, "Mhm, I believe in you, and I believe in myself."

His expressionless face pinched the corner of her mouth, "That looks terrible."

She: "..."

On the side, Leng Yixing couldn’t help but break the quiet between them and asked, "Jinyang, what do we do now?"

"Search!" he said, "Send people to the United States, dig three feet into the ground if you must—but find it!"

"Hehe~ A bunch of ignorant fools!" Xiao Sewei’s leisurely voice came once more.

This time, without waiting for Leng Yixing to speak up, Lu Jinyang had already lifted his foot at the moment she began to speak, pressing it against her collarbone, just barely enough to control her entire neck.

Xiao Sewei was petrified with fear, her eyes unblinkingly set on the shoe near her chin.

"Do not challenge my limits!" His voice sounded as though it came from Hell, cold to the bone. "If this matter is untrue, all the better! But if it is true, you had better hope it doesn’t fall into someone else’s hands, otherwise, I will grind you into powder and scatter your ashes!"

Having spoken, Lu Jinyang retracted his foot.

In that moment, Xiao Sewei seemed to have all the strength drained from her, collapsing weakly against the ropes that bound her; without them, she would have already slumped to the ground.

Leng Yixing watched all of this with a cold gaze, making no move to intervene.

He had interrogated this woman for a long time, tirelessly, before she uttered that sentence.

As to the truthfulness of her words, he believed them. After all, the psychological tactics used against prisoners of war were common in the military and almost never erred.

This was also one reason Lu Jinyang did not doubt the words Xiao Sewei had confessed.

Only, to find that thing...
