In a dilapidated basement, the light was dim and the air was damp and cold.

In the corner, a man was hung tightly on an iron bar, his back was covered in blood, and one whip mark after another formed a tragic picture. His hands were tightly locked with iron chains, and his legs were also covered with scars, one of the bullet holes was oozing blood.

The man's eyes were wide open, his face full of fear and despair. He struggled frantically, but the chains prevented him from moving.

He let out a heart-wrenching wail: "Ah, let me go! Otherwise, I will never let you go when I get out. Murder is against the law!"

At this time, a man in a dark suit walked into the dark room. It was Lu Nanxu. He held a cigarette in his hand, and smoke rose in the dim light. He looked at the scene indifferently, without any ripples on his face, only his deep eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

"Are you willing to tell me? Who ordered you to do that?" Lu Nanxu spoke slowly, his voice low and cold.

When the man heard the question, he raised his head with difficulty and uttered a few words with all his strength: "I really don't know..." Before he could finish his words, another whip fell. He groaned in pain, and blood flowed out of the wound again.

"It seems that you are still honest." Lu Nanxu sneered, put the cigarette in his hand to his lips and took a puff, then continued to ask, "Liu Jun, male, 22 years old, graduate student of Kyoto University. You have been secretly in love with Lin Wei since she entered school, but you never dared to confess. Until two months ago, when Lin Wei returned to school, you came into contact because of organizing school activities. She confided to you that she was bullied, so you decided to stand up for her, right?"

Hearing Lin Wei's name, Liu Jun's eyes instantly became fierce. He struggled frantically and roared, "No! It has nothing to do with her! Don't hurt her!"

"Oh? Finally there's a response." Xin Mujing, who was standing aside, raised the corners of his mouth and laughed sarcastically, "It seems that you really care about her."

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this!" Xin Mujing shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the dark room.

Liu Jun gritted his teeth and remained silent. He knew he couldn't tell the man's name, otherwise Lin Wei would be in danger. But he also knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would probably die here.

Seeing this, Zheng Haoqian gently pressed the call button: "It's me, find someone to tie Lin Wei up."

Hearing this, Liu Jun panicked. He desperately pulled the chain and shouted at the top of his lungs, "No! No! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Before the auction, I received a call from a woman! She threatened me that if I didn't do something to Ji Yan, she would do something to Lin Wei! I told you that's all I know! Really!"

Lu Nanxu and Xin Mujing looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes. Thinking of the news they found last night.

"Bring her here." Helian Minxiao said in a deep voice, then turned and left the dark room. He knew that what was going to happen next would be even more complicated and dangerous...

After a while, Zhao Jiayu was brought in, and a dazzling light shone directly on Zhao Jiayu's face wrapped in a black cloth bag. Zhao Jiayu was rudely pushed into the room, the cloth bag slipped off, and she squinted her eyes to adapt to the sudden light.

"This is against the law. Do you know who I am? How dare you do this in broad daylight? Let me go!" Zhao Jiayu screamed, waving her nails studded with diamonds in the air, but was instantly pinned down by the follower standing beside her.

She looked around in panic and saw Lu Nanxu and others sitting at the table with cold faces. Zhao Jiayu's heart sank and an inexplicable sense of guilt came over her.

"Why did you kidnap me?" Zhao Jiayu tried to stay calm, but her voice was still trembling.

Lu Nanxu raised his head indifferently, his eyes like a knife: "Did you do that to Yanyan?"

"I don't understand what you are saying. What's wrong with Yanyan? Did anything happen to her?" Zhao Jiayu pretended to be anxious, with concern and worry on her pale face.

Helian Minxiao laughed sarcastically: "How disgusting." He turned to Liu Jun and asked: "Listen, is this the sound?"

Liu Jun glanced at Zhao Jiayu. In fact, there was no phone call. That was all made up by him. But for Lin Wei's safety, he nodded quickly: "Yes, it's her! She came to me before the auction."

Zhao Jiayu was shocked when she heard this, but she immediately regained her composure: "Wait, I haven't seen him at all, don't wrongly accuse a good person. Where is Yanyan? Does she know that you have taken me away?"

Liu Jun stared at Zhao Jiayu coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Bitch, you are still pretending to be innocent! It's obviously you!"

Zhao Jiayu took a deep breath, trying to make herself look more innocent. She ignored Liu Jun's accusations and said to the men, "Do you have any evidence? You want to frame me based on this man's one-sided statement? I am Yanyan's best friend!"

Helian Minxiao shook his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "We have witnesses. Someone saw you and Lin Wei disappear for five minutes before the auction, and at that time, this man also disappeared."

Zhao Jiayu's face froze. She looked at the video on the monitor. It was the surveillance video of her and Lin Wei before the auction. Her heartbeat quickened, and the scene of that day was replayed in her mind. After she handed the potion to Lin Wei, she did leave for a few minutes. Thinking of this...

"But this is not enough to prove anything." Zhao Jiayu took a deep breath and tried to make herself look more calm. "I happened to leave for something urgent that day. What happened to Yanyan? Can I go and take care of her?"

Zheng Haoqian looked at Zhao Jiayu coldly: "We will find evidence. Before that, you stay here."

Zhao Jiayu's heart sank to the bottom, she knew that this matter might not be so easy to resolve. But she still maintained her final stubbornness and unwillingness, she knew that as long as she did not plead guilty, no one would be able to easily convict her.
