SWNOVELS Chapter 526 Who Is J
Just when Shi Wei finished her words, Fu Chengyan stabbed her again. His speed was so fast that she did not even notice Fu Chengyan had made a move. However, the pain coming from her arm was telling her that it was real. "Ah! Fu Chengyan, how dare you take laws into your hands? It's against the law. Fu Chengyan... Ah!"
All afternoon, the smell of blood filled the dark room.
Fu Chengyan's move was smooth, quick, and ruthless. He did not even allow Shi Wei to take a breather at all. The place he made his move on and his cutting technique were superb, resembling the way ordinary people cut vegetables. He only made small slices, but it was extremely horrifying.
The wounds were small, but the speed of bleeding was tremendously fast. It was so painful that Shi Wei's entire body trembled. She wanted to run away, but she did not have the energy to do so.
Fu Chengyan did not want her to die. Instead, he wanted to torture her. Shi Wei had never anticipated such an outcome. "Ah! Kill me! Take my life now!"
"I told you! I won't kill people." Fu Chengyan pressed the sharp blade held by his defining fingers against Shi Wei's cheek. Her entire body was trembling as she stared at his hand cautiously.
Fear conquered her. She was more afraid of sustaining endless torture as compared to death. Since she was someone who cared about her looks more than anything else, she was scared Fu Chengyan would leave a scar on her face.
"Kill me! I beg you to kill me!" Shi Wei pleaded, her voice trembling.
Fu Chengyan cast an indifferent look at Shi Wei. The calmer he looked, the more afraid she was. She could not suppress her fear, and her terrified expression betrayed her emotions.
"Fu Chengyan, I'm Shi Nuan's sister, her elder sister! You can't treat me like this. Have you forgotten that I'm the only one who knows her whereabouts? How dare you treat me like this! Aren't you afraid that you will never be able to find Shi Nuan if I die?" she continued.
"Is that so?"
The coldness in Fu Chengyan's black eyes intensified.
He stretched his hand out and took over the handkerchief from Jiang Hu, wiping away the blood on the knife seriously and immediately throwing it to the latter. Rising to his feet, he looked down on Shi Wei. "Do you think I got you here because I want to know May's whereabouts?"
"Am I wrong? Only I know where Shi Nuan is now. You'd better release me now, or you will never see her again!" Shi Wei stretched her hand out to cover her arm, but she could not stop the bleeding. She had never been so desperate in her life. Such desperation almost drowned her. Her consciousness was fading away as her eyelids grew heavier. It was as though she would close her eyes anytime in the next moment.
However, Shi Wei knew she must not allow herself to sleep, for once she slept, chances were she would not wake up again. "Let me go! I'll take you to Shi Nuan."
"It's too late!" Fu Chengyan smirked. "As compared to May, who do you think you are?"
Shi Wei's heart sank. "What do you mean?"
Fu Chengyan chuckled. "Why didn't I go and find May and waste my time here with you instead?"
Shi Wei stared at his eyes and suddenly became afraid. "You... You..." "Who asked you to do this? Tell me, will you?" Fu Chengyan looked down at Shi Wei. "You have half an hour to answer my question. If I don't get a satisfying answer, your consequences will be worse than Su Su." Su Su!
Shi Wei's pupils dilated as she looked at Fu Chengyan in disbelief. "You killed her! It's you!" Fu Chengyan chuckled again with voids in the bottom of his eyes. "Killed her? You must be overthinking." Su Su was nothing short of a pawn to him. As long as she did not pose a threat to him, he would not make a move. However, Su Su was dead. There was only one plausible explanation-Shi Wei killed Su Su.
However, there is no way Shi Wei is the one who killed Su Su, judging from Su Su's death report and Shi Wei's current reaction. There is only one possibility left - Su Su's employer killed her. Most likely, Su Su's employer and the person behind Shi Wei are the same person.
"Are you not going to spill the beans?" He walked over and glanced at Jiang Hu. The latter immediately rushed over with Fu Chengyan's knife and aimed it at Shi Wei's face. Even though Jiang Hu's speed was not as fast as Fu Chengyan's, it was enough to make Shi Wei suffer.
"Ah!" Shi Wei covered her face. "Fu Chengyan, you will go to hell. You will-Ah! I'll talk.
I'll talk."
It was so painful she almost fainted. Nevertheless, every time she was about to faint, Jiang Hu would inflict a cut on her. The painful sensation would course through her whole body and jolt her awake again. Shi Wei clenched her fists as she continued, "I'll talk!"
Fu Chengyan raised his hand, signaling Jiang Hu to stop.
Shi Wei had already fallen onto the ground. She dared not move completely, as the pain that she felt whenever she moved was unbearable. "I don't know the real identity of the man, but he said he would help me seek revenge. I already have no other options. I hate Shi Nuan. I hate her to bits!" she added.
"Be concise!" Fu Chengyan stared at Shi Wei. "Or do you want to have a taste of this?" With that, he took over an exquisite-looking whip from Jiang Hu. Just a glance of it made Shi Wei's face turn pale. She trembled and begged, "No! Please don't!"
This whip, which was full of thorns, was even more terrifying than the previous one that was soaked with brine. One whip was enough to tear her skin.
Shi Wei felt numbness in her scalp at the thought of that. "I'll say."
"His name is J. Every time I saw him, he wore a mask, so I don't know who exactly he
is."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes."
"Then how do you contact him?"
"I..." Shi Wei gulped as she saw Fu Chengyan's cold eyes. "I-I wasn't the one who contacted him each time. H-He was the same person who gave me the syringe. He asked me to inject Shi Nuan with the drug inside. B-But he merely taught me how to use the syringe without telling me anything else."
"Is that so?" Fu Chengyan chuckled and took out a small controller. "Then what is this?"
Shi Wei's face discolored the moment she saw the controller. "I..."
Fu Chengyan opened it. Inside was footage of a small surveillance camera. "Are you going to explain this?"
Shi Wei gritted her teeth. "I have no idea. I honestly have no idea about this. He merely told me that I could use it once, but I still had yet to use it."
It was true that Shi Wei did not know the thing was a surveillance camera. Not to mention, she didn't even know how she got caught back here. She roughly remembered she was quarreling with Shi Nuan, then fighting with the latter before hitting the sink.
Shi Wei's face immediately turned pale.
So I failed to do anything to Shi Nuan? She never got caught by others, but I got caught by Fu Chengyan?
"Fu Chengyan, you set me up!"
He raised his brows and asked, "Let me ask you one last time. Do you not have J's contact number? You should know that I hate being lied to the most."
She shook her head. "I-I don't know anything else. I have already told you everything that I know. Please let me go!"
Fu Chengyan frowned and tightened his fist on the surveillance camera. "Jiang Hu, I'll leave her to you."
With that, Fu Chengyan came out of the dark room. Zhou Zheng had already been waiting outside for a long time. When Fu Chengyan entered his sight, he hurriedly followed his employer and said, "Mr. Fu, we still haven't found Mrs. Fu."
Upon hearing that, Fu Chengyan exuded a cold aura and gave the thing in his hand to Zhou Zheng. "Track our target."
"What is..." Flabbergasted, Zhou Zheng looked at Fu Chengyan.
"You have two hours."
"Yes!"
"Chengyan, you should come over now!" Fu Chengyan received a call from Su
Shaoqing right after coming out of Prosperous Dynasty. "To my lab!"
Fu Chengyan's face darkened. "Is something wrong with the drug inside the syringe?" "Yes!" Sitting on the chair in his lab, Su Shaoqing had a cold expression. He, too, exuded a menacing aura. "Immediately come over!"
It was rare for Su Shaoqing to use such a serious tone. Fu Chengyan frowned deeply. "I'll be there in no time!" With that, Fu Chengyan turned to look at Zhou Zheng. "Go and find Liang Lin and Mr. Pei. Lock our target at once."
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
Fu Chengyan rushed toward Su Shaoqing's lab, only to see the latter looking at a group of data in a daze. The tension in the air was so thick that one could cut it with a knife, and Fu Chengyan's appearance merely amplified such feeling.
Fu Chengyan's expression did not look good. "What is going on? What is the drug?" Su Shaoqing's brows furrowed. "In view of the time constraints, I still have not fully analyzed the ingredients of the drug. However, you must be mentally prepared."
"What do you mean?" Fu Chengyan also frowned. "Tell me!"
"This drug is identical to those found on Pei Huan and Bao."
"What did you say?"
As soon as Su Shaoqing finished his words, Fu Chengyan grabbed the former's collar and pulled him upward.
Fu Chengyan stared at Su Shaoqing as he clenched his fists. His eyes were full of coldness and menace. "I dare you to say that again!"
"This drug is likely the same as the one injected into Pei Huan and Bao. The result still hasn't come out, though. When I carried out the analysis just now, I found this dataset is the same as Bao. It looks like they have been targeting Shi Nuan. The virus in Pei Huan is probably the first generation, but the one in Bao and Shi Nuan—”
"Say that again if you dare." Fu Chengyan raised his hand and viciously threw a punch at Su Shaoqing's face. "You quack!"
Su Shaoqing did not feel angry despite getting hit by Fu Chengyan. He merely covered his cheek as his frown deepened. "Chengyan, stay calm. Now isn't the time for you to act rashly. The most important thing now is to find Shi Nuan immediately to see if there is anything in her body."
Su Shaoqing dared not continue further because he saw Fu Chengyan's grim and scary expression. It was as though the latter wanted to eat him.
Su Shaoqing gulped as he continued, "I just said maybe! Could it be that I'm a quack doctor and have misdiagnosed?"
Fu Chengyan stared at Su Shaoqing coldly. The latter impatiently scratched his head. "There's a lot of the drug remained in the syringe. Besides, when I found the syringe, the needle is broken. Could it be that they failed to inject Nuan with it?" Su Shaoqing added.
