Chapter 133 - 133 132 Why Steal the Formula

133: Chapter 132: Why Steal the Formula 133: Chapter 132: Why Steal the Formula When the sound of rushing water came from the neighboring bathroom, Wang Dadong opened the room door, stepped out, and left the Eastern County Villa.

He had said that no one should hurt Lin Shiyan, not even her.

For Lin Shiyan, these days had been exceptionally difficult, as she would return home every evening and remain busy until midnight.

But for Qin Xue, it was quite the opposite, quite leisurely and comfortable.

One could even say she had never slept so peacefully before.

She used to worry every day that Xueyun Group might be crushed by Shiyan Group, but now those fears were gone.

As the biggest competitor of the Shiyan Group, Qin Xue naturally kept a close watch on their situation.

On the surface, Shiyan Group seemed to have no issues, but in reality, they were facing significant problems.

The much-hyped Beauty Generation Four’s delayed launch had given Xueyun Group an opportunity.

They released their better product ahead of Shiyan Group, sweeping up a significant market share!

Once the balance had shifted, Xueyun Group was on the brink of a new era of splendor.

On a wide bed, two meters across, Qin Xue was sleeping sweetly when a series of finger taps on her cabinet suddenly woke her.

Opening her eyes, she saw a man cloaked in black robes, sitting by her bed, his face concealed by a clown mask as he gently tapped the bedside table with his finger.

Tick tock, tick, tick tock.

The rhythmic sound seemed to knock on Qin Xue’s heart.

Qin Xue didn’t scream; she knew screaming could be more dangerous than silence.

“Who are you?” she asked while her hand covertly reached under the pillow where she had placed a pair of scissors.

“Are you looking for this?” Suddenly, the masked man raised his other hand, which was holding the scissors that had been under Qin Xue’s pillow!

Qin Xue’s beautiful pupils constricted instantly, revealing a trace of fear in her eyes.

The fact that he had taken the scissors from under her pillow without her noticing left her utterly unaware.

“You need not fear, I won’t hurt you, provided that you answer my questions honestly,” a raspy voice said, sounding not like a human but rather like an evil spirit from Hell.

“What, what do you want to ask?”

“Why did you steal the formula?”

“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Qin Xue’s speech had grown somewhat disjointed with fear.

The masked man sighed softly, “I said if you honestly answer my questions, I won’t hurt you, but you are not being truthful.”

Then, Qin Xue found her hand being pulled out from under the covers by the masked man.

“I’ll give you one more chance, say it, why did you steal the formula.” The masked man held the scissors towards Qin Xue’s palm.

“I, I truly don’t know, please let me go.”

“Wrong answer!”

After speaking, the masked man slowly pushed the sharp end of the scissors into the palm of Qin Xue’s hand.

As the scissors slowly dug in, Qin Xue’s exquisitely beautiful face showed extreme pain, and her body involuntarily twisted.

Sweat soon covered her forehead, but she endured the severe pain without making a sound, fearing her screams might provoke something even more terrible.

“Now do you understand?” the masked man said coldly, showing no pity.

“I, I truly don’t know, even if you kill me, I won’t know,” tears welled in Qin Xue’s eyes.

“They say women endure pain far better than men, so let’s see how much you can bear,” the masked man spoke again and pushed the scissors deeper into Qin Xue’s palm.

“Mmh, ah!” Despite Qin Xue’s remarkable resilience, she let out a muffled groan of pain.

With each further penetration of the scissors, Qin Xue’s pain doubled.

Everyone’s endurance has its limits, including Qin Xue.

Seeing the scissors about to pierce through her palm and emerge from the back of her hand, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’ll talk, I’ll say anything!

It was me, it was me, it was indeed me who stole the formula, you might as well kill me,” Qin Xue cried out.

“I believe the formula wasn’t stolen by you,” said the man in the mask, as he let go of Qin Xue’s hand.

Qin Xue being able to endure to this extent had actually far exceeded his expectations.

If Qin Xue had persisted in denying it until now, it would have suggested that the formula had very likely been taken by her.

But her confession instead proved that she wasn’t the one who had taken the formula.

Under torture, ninety-nine point nine percent of normal people would choose to falsely confess.

If Qin Xue had confessed earlier or later, Wang Dadong wouldn’t have believed her.

“I’m sorry, I was mistaken,” the man in the mask sighed and turned to leave.

“Wang Dadong,” Qin Xue suddenly called out just as the man in the mask turned around.

At the sound of Qin Xue’s voice, Wang Dadong’s body involuntarily paused.

“Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else,” said a hoarse voice.

However, a pang struck Wang Dadong’s heart.

How had Qin Xue recognized him?

“Wang Dadong, I know it’s you; I recognize your scent,” Qin Xue said through her tears.

Wang Dadong did not reply and quickly walked out of Qin Xue’s room.

“Wang Dadong, I hate you!”

Qin Xue pulled the scissors out of her palm, and immediately blood gushed out.

But she didn’t care, and quickly took out the sapphire blue dress that Wang Dadong had bought for her from the wardrobe and started cutting it up fiercely with the scissors.

It was as if the dress was Wang Dadong himself.

Outside the door, Wang Dadong hadn’t left but was leaning against the wall.

In his effort to protect one woman, he had hurt another, but what he hadn’t anticipated was that Qin Xue would recognize him.

There had been some minor misunderstandings between them, but now…

Shaking his head, Wang Dadong left Haitian Villa, thinking that he would have to find a way to make it up to Qin Xue later.

Wang Dadong was somewhat perplexed.

According to the King of Everlasting Night, the person who took the formula definitely was someone in this building.

If it wasn’t Qin Xue who had taken the formula, then who was it?

With over 2000 employees in Jinding Building, he couldn’t possibly interrogate them one by one.

It seemed that he could only take things as they came.

Wang Dadong didn’t immediately return to East County Villa, but instead walked aimlessly along the road.

He had thought that after escaping Hell, he could live an ordinary and happy life.

It now seemed that even mortals have their troubles.

In the past, he only thought about how to kill or be killed, which was tense, yet very straightforward.

Now, back in the city, he had much more to consider.

As he walked, Wang Dadong’s attention was drawn to a group of people.

A beautiful woman was surrounded by a few hoodlums.

You might think that what follows is the cliched story where the hoodlums harass the beautiful woman and then the hero saves her, but you would be wrong.

“Come on, you big guys can’t even handle a little girl like me, and you still call yourselves men?”

The little beauty stood on one of the hoodlums’ backs, speaking arrogantly.
