Chapter 998: Chapter 998: If the person can’t be lured out, then the bait isn’t big enough

Bei Jinzhou stood by Qin Ruan’s side, watching as Qi Ling’s face was corroded by black, putrid blood, the originally fair face becoming more sinister and terrifying than that of a fierce puppet.

He leaned close to Qin Ruan, his heart still fluttering with fear, "Madam Huo, if you need any help, just give an order, and everyone in the hotel will fully cooperate with you."

"That would be excellent!" Qin Ruan smiled with narrowed eyes, tapping her chin with her index finger as her cold gaze settled on Qi Ling, collapsed on the ground, she asked Liao Yu, "You found out that Qi Ling has a gathering every week?"

With his foot on Qi Ling, Liao Yu’s ghastly pale face softened a bit as he nodded to Qin Ruan, "Yes, they gather weekly at a suburban private establishment that caters to special members."

Qin Ruan’s eyebrows lifted slightly; a cold light flitted through her beautiful eyes, her gentle voice carrying a hint of menace, "Then let’s have Qi Ling call them over here. For every person missing, we’ll find compensation from his body."

Liao Yu looked puzzled, "Like what?"

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, glancing at Qi Ling’s wretched state.

Under Liao Yu’s oppression, Qi Ling clenched his hands tightly; Qin Ruan beamed a beautifully radiant smile, "His hands seem rather restless; we could start with those."

Liao Yu instantly understood, his face took on a malicious grin, "That’s a brilliant idea. It was these hands that pushed me down from upstairs; I’ve been wanting to chop them off for a while."

The other onlookers exchanged astonished glances, all feeling a shiver of terror.

Qin Mei was getting anxious, his voice low as he asked Qin Ruan, "Isn’t this going a bit too far?"

Qin Ruan gave him a mocking look, "Too far? I think I’m being quite merciful."

Liao Yu’s life couldn’t compare to the severing of Qi Ling’s body; they were incomparable.

Her demeanor was too nonchalant; Qin Mei finally relented after a long while, "...as long as you’re happy."

At this moment, he had a new understanding of his little sister’s ruthlessness.

Liao Yu had already started making Qi Ling contact those people.

When Qi Ling heard that he had to deceive those people into coming, he kept shaking his head, "No, we can’t afford to mess with them, I can’t do this, they’ll kill me!"

Liao Yu’s expression was icy as he threatened Qi Ling’s neck, "If you don’t make the call, I’ll send you to Hell right now!"

Her pale hand slowly tightened, and soon, Qi Ling was engulfed by the suffocation of impending death, his mouth producing agonizing, guttural noises.

Liao Yu asked coldly, "Will you make the call or not?"

Physiological tears streamed from Qi Ling’s eyes as he cried and nodded.

Liao Yu released his neck, took a cell phone from the bedside table, and tossed it onto him.

The red light in her eyes receded, and her pupil-less black eyes stared heavily at him, "Don’t even think about playing any tricks; I’m not joking, someone will really die."

Qi Ling nodded, trembling all over as he turned on the phone to scroll through the contact list, starting to make calls.

With a face too gruesome to bear, he made the first call, "Brother Liu? I’m at the Imperial Court Hotel. I’ve got a top-notch catch today, want to come and have some fun?"

"Xiao Qi, I’m at home with the wife and kids; can’t make it."

A steady, magnetic voice emanated from the phone, clearly belonging to a person of distinction.

Qi Ling sneakily stole a glance at Liao Yu, nervously swallowing saliva, "I see, then let’s make it another day."

After hanging up, he made several more calls. Out of them, only two people agreed to the meeting; the others were either with their families or out of Capital City and couldn’t make it.

After more than ten minutes, having cycled through his phone contacts, Qi Ling managed to get just three people to agree.

Liao Yu glared at Qi Ling with a cool and stern look in her eyes, "What if they can’t make it?"

Unconcealed Black Evil Energy started to spread out from her, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome.

Qi Ling clung to her legs and wailed, "Xiaoyu, those people hold high positions; I really can’t afford to offend them."

His disheveled appearance shattered his image of courtesy, resembling a drowned rat in its misery.

Qin Ruan’s brows knit together, her look at Qi Ling filled with unhidden contempt as she spoke indifferently, "If the prey isn’t drawn out, it just means the bait isn’t big enough."

A thought struck Liao Yu, and she turned to look at Qin Ruan, her eyes emitting a strange glow.

Bei Jinzhou, too, glanced at Qin Ruan thoughtfully.

Feeling their stares, Qin Ruan felt a discomfort inside and curved her lips emotionlessly, "What’s up?"

Liao Yu murmured to herself, "If they saw that the prey was you, I think even if they were on Mars, they would rush over."

Qin Ruan’s eyes twitched slightly, a look of surprise leaking through her foxy eyes, her voice edged with a touch of coldness, "Sister Liao Yu, are you joking?"

Liao Yu shook her head, her voice serious, "You have no idea how deadly your appearance can be."

In her view, Qin Ruan didn’t need to do anything or speak a word to attract countless men swarming towards her, just by standing there.

"No way! I don’t agree!"

Qin Mei stepped out, shielding Qin Ruan, with anger tinting his eyes and brows.

In order to resolve the trouble quickly, Bei Jinzhou supported Liao Yu’s suggestion, "I think this is a good idea."

Even Qi Ling, who was in a pitiful state on the ground, raised his head to look at Qin Ruan, and the amazement in his eyes couldn’t be faked.

Nervously licking her lips, Liao Yu tried to persuade Qin Ruan in a coaxing tone, "It’s just using a photo to lure them here. Miss Qin, please help us out completely, so I can finish this matter sooner and stop troubling you."

Qin Ruan remained silent, her eyes revealing her inner conflict as she stood there.

Suddenly, she pushed Qin Mei in front of everyone, her delicately crafted face breaking into a smile, "My second brother can handle this."

"What?" Qin Mei turned his head in disbelief.

He had positioned himself protectively in front of Qin Ruan, only to be pushed forward unexpectedly.

Qin Ruan touched the tip of her nose, her tone guilty, "There’re still some women who haven’t been called. My second brother is very handsome, he’s perfect for bait. Since we’ve already lured the women, we can edit the photos to make him look feminine as well."

On the verge of tears, Qin Mei protested with a wronged face, "Ruanruan, I’m your real brother!"

Qin Ruan nodded calmly, her hand on his shoulder, and said sternly, "Second brother, I believe in you."

Qin Mei wiped away the nonexistent tears from the corner of his eyes and looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, his tone sad and ashamed, "I don’t believe in myself, though!"

Qin Ruan clenched her fist towards him, encouragingly saying, "Second brother, you can do it!"

What followed proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Qin Mei took a few posed photos under the lights and had professionals retouch them, quickly finishing both the handsome man and beautiful woman’s photos by himself.

In the photo as a woman, Qin Mei looked down with demurely lowered brows and eyes, gazing at his slender legs, a vision of demure beauty.

His beautiful eyes and straight nose gave off an excellent image and temperament, truly a unique and exquisitely carved beauty.

Dressed in stylish men’s wear, Qin Mei’s handsome features were sharp and cold, exuding a carefree and rebellious charm, looking both roguish and wild.

It must be said that such a handsome and pretty young man could appeal to all ages and arouse the destructive desires of those with dark intentions.

Indeed, Liao Yu, Bei Jinzhou, and Qin Ruan’s idea proved to be correct.

This time, Qi Ling didn’t call those people. He directly sent them Qin Mei’s photos, and soon after, he received texts from those people asking for the room number.

As for those not in Capital City, Qin Ruan took their mobile numbers and sent them to Yuan Zhiwei at the Criminal Investigation Division, asking them to find a way to apprehend the suspects.

On the way there, Qin Ruan had contacted Yuan Zhiwei to have his men stake out the entrance of the Imperial Court Hotel, ready to capture suspects at any moment—a plan that worked perfectly.

Half an hour later, the first visitor pressed the doorbell.

With a glance exchanged among everyone inside the room, all eyes eventually settled on Qin Ruan.

Huo Zhi’s face flickered with displeasure as she stepped forward toward the door.

Qin Ruan stopped her, "Huo Zhi, let me!"

She walked to the door, opening it.

The middle-aged man standing outside, dressed in a suit and shoes, exuded gentlemanly elegance. His well-proportioned features made him look very handsome, making it impossible to associate him with beastly actions.

Seeing Qin Ruan, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, admiration flashing in his gaze.

He extended his hand with a polite smile, "You must be Qi Ling’s girlfriend, right? I’m a friend of his, just passing by and thought to stop in."

Qin Ruan looked down at his extended hand, not taking it, but stepped aside, her voice cool, "Come in."

The middle-aged man revealed a charming smile and confidently stepped into the room.

The next moment, he was pinned against the wall inside the door by Huo Zhi and others, lying in wait.

Struggling fiercely, the middle-aged man bellowed in anger, "What are you doing?!"

Walking up to him, Qin Ruan loomed over, her voice icy, "Mr. Liu, right? The things you and Qi Ling have done amount to the crime of intentional bodily harm. The victims have the right to justice, and the police won’t let you off either."

Previously polite, the middle-aged man’s face twisted into something ugly, boasting arrogantly, "Hah! What evidence do you have? Do you know who I am? Unless I’ve committed murder or arson, even the king of Heaven can’t touch me!"
