Chapter 71: Stupidity at its highest.

BANG!

The banging sound echoed out in Qin Qianyu's ears as she stood there unmoving, lost in her own thoughts.

"Ma'am we're ready!"

"Ma'am!?"

Qin Qianyu shook her head and took stock of her surroundings. She was in the office still. Her foot planted solely on the gunshot wound of superintendent Chen's leg, as PIT finished setting up the tracing equipment.

Qin Qianyu pushed the dark thoughts and even darker scenario that had played out just now to the back of her mind and nodded to the PIT member to commence the trace.

A man walking along an old rarely used road got a message alert. It was the cameraman that had an argument with Mo Lin moments ago.

The cameraman opened his messages to find the the studio boss had sent him a termination notice claiming insubordination, dereliction of duties and sexual harassment as the reasons for the dismissal.

The cameraman made a call right away,

"Mo Lin, you would really go this far!?"

"Hmph! You have no one but yourself to blame Zhu Yue. Our paths have already diverged so there's nothing more to say."

"I'll be fighting this! Not only the lies listed for my termination but also the lies you're about to deliver to the public. You're truly a disgusting person Mo Lin, it's such a shame and my misfortune to have ever met and known such a person like you."

"Haha! So what! What can you do!? Everyone knows that women are pure flowers and men are vicious beasts! Who's to say differently, and that what I've said, isn't the truth!?"

"Mo Lin if I were a beast why would I act now instead of all the times you stayed with me or my sister because you were facing a hard time or argument with your own family? Listening to all of this makes it sound like you were only using me, using my sister, using us all!"

"You know what? I just realised that you are stupidity at its highest! So what if I used you!? No one would believe a no hoper bum like you! All I have to do is shed a little tear, snort some snot and choke on a bit of my own saliva and people would think I've a disturbing tale to tell,"

Zhu Yue was fuming now, he really couldn't believe his ears. He really felt like a sucker when he thought about all those times he and his sister had helped her out.

"How did you ever get like this Mo Lin? Whatever happened to the true, honest and pure you from before?"

"I got like this by growing up! That's how I got like this!? Those dreams we had at school! Those are, how'd you put it? "The fairytales, conjured from the minds of truly sick people" that's what our dreams were!"

"Huh!?"

The pair were fellow media arts students that quickly became friends due to their shared like for China Now, Tonight's, anchorman Wang Yi.

CNT was the dream station to work at for any student studying journalism at the school of media arts.

That's was their goal, unfortunately, the pair ended up in a 2nd tier studio working like dogs while getting paid scraps.

Now it seems that everything that he's done to help her through all her tough moments, trials and tribulations have been for nought.

All those years became nothing but dead skin floating through the air.

"Now if you're done bitching at me, I'm needed in makeup."

The call ended and Zhu Yue walked aimlessly through the streets. Soon he came across an unassuming warehouse in the middle of the industrial district.

He would have thought nothing of it, if it wasn't for the fact that he saw Chen Yongqing and a bunch of men carrying a bound woman inside of it.

He quickly pulled out his phone again and called a number.

"I'm sorry ma'am, unless she picks up, we have no other way to track her down."

Qin Qianyu kicked the superintendent in his good leg as she needed to vent. Suddenly the office doors burst open,

Everyone turned to see a young female officer,

"Officer Zhu! What's the meaning of this!? Get the hell out of here right now!"

Officer Zhu didn't balk at the stern man's fury, she held her hand out holding her phone,

"Excuse me, I think you better take this call,"

"Officer Zhu, get out now!"

Officer Zhu looked around hoping for someone to take the call. Her brother just called her and after explaining everything she knew that she needed to act.

She had went to her supervisor but he flagged her off only saying that he's been put on standby because of the big wigs upstairs.

Officer Zhu didn't know what was happening upstairs but she thought that her brothers call was too important to be ignored,

She saw Qin Qianyu.

"She must be important if she's wearing getup like that!"

She rushed to in front of Qin Qianyu who was in an agitated state when the officer came before her holding out her phone.

Qin Qianyu realised that they wouldn't have come in if it wasn't extremely important.

Qin Qianyu took the phone

"Speak!"

"Huh!? Oh!? I'm a reporter . . "

"A reporter!?"

Qin Qianyu looked to Officer Zhu, Officer Zhu couldn't see Qin Qianyu's eyes but her lips screamed "what the actual fuck!"

Officer Zhu yelled to the person on the other side of the call!

"Dumb brother of mine nobody cares! Get to the information!"

Zhu Yue heard his sister and choked on his spit before he got to it.

"Oh right! I need major help, Chen Yongqing and some men just carried a woman into an old warehouse in the industrial district."

"His family is quite influential so, I need bigger hands to hold on to him."

Qin Qianyu became excited. They had been trying to get through to Chen Yiyin's phone but had no luck and now some stranger calls in with the location of her brother, and he and some men are carrying a woman.

"Mingyu, it has to be you! Seems your friend Yifei is looking out for you. Mingyu! Hold tight we're on our way."

Qin Qianyu thanked the heavens and muttered out,

"Address!"

Zhu Yue gave them the address and name of the warehouse and even every little detail he could think off

"Alright! I know you're just a civilian, but it's important that nothing happens to that girl, distract them as much as possible but keep out of harms way. Oh I got it! Since you're a reporter live stream it and use it against Chen Yongqing, but same as before stall long enough for us to get there, keep yourself and the woman safe if possible."

"Okay! Got it!"

Qin Qianyu tossed the phone back at Officer Zhu,

"Do you know this place?"

"Yes! I know it!"

"Good follow me!"

Qin Qianyu looked around and saw Yi Ma,

"Yi Ma, have someone bandage his wound, the bullet didn't penetrate, it just grazed him a little and after that toss him in a cell. If anyone dares to aid him they can join his sorry arse in the cell as his blanket."

Yi Ma nodded his affirmation and did as he was asked of him.

Qin Qianyu took Officer Zhu with her. The others in the room got ready also.

The commander contacted Wen Wú Ting to relay to him the outcome and asked for ADT's assistance.

PIT and the go team armed themselves and headed to the location given to them by Zhu Yue.

Wen Wú Ting gave over command to her and messaged the team that had been sent there with him.

"What's going on!?"

"A kidnapping come hostage situation that some big shot is in charge of. We just have to follow PIT's Commander."

"Ohh! Goddess Xiao Yixuan! Hehehe, I'll follow!"

"Shut up! Gear Up! Move out! Now!"

"Yes Lieutenant!"

Qin Qianyu and Officer Zhu headed to the front lobby,

"Where the hell is my bike!?"

"Ah . . They moved it to the transport bay."

"Tsk! Lead the way."

Qin Qianyu entered the transport bay which was now filled with geared men and women heading to the the same spot as she was going.

"Commander, I'll head out first, my priority is the girl, everything else I'll leave to you."

"As you say ma'am."

"Thanks and be safe, all of you."

Qin Qianyu nodded then straddled her bike. Officer Zhu looked at her confused,

"Get on we don't have all day!"

Qin Qianyu reached into a compartment and retrieved an ear bud and took a helmet from the bike next to her.

"Test, test, are you ready?"

"Yes ma'am,"

Officer Zhu replied. She had heard how Xiao Yixuan called Qin Qianyu and copied her.

Qin Qianyu's motorbike roared into life and she headed to the destination that Zhu Yue gave.

The others followed shortly after.

While Qin Qianyu and a whole host of people from different agencies moved towards the industrial sector with haste, a lone man was creeping across the road like a tortoise.

He took some matches he had in his pocket and jammed them into the tires valves of the vehicles that Chen Yongqing and his men had came here in.

He soon made his way into the building trying to locate anyone, while also trying not to get caught.

Zhu Yue soon heard voices coming from inside a sectioned of part of the main floor.

"And as for that fat fuck of a teacher, you don't have to worry about that, my needles are god like, no one can save him."

"So there you have it. Do the bitch however, whichever, whenever you want. Just make sure you record all of it."

There were around 12 to 15 men standing around the bound girl. Zhu Yue couldn't see her properly but if Qin Qianyu was there, she would know immediately that it was Lu Mingyu.

"Oh and there's one more too, I think you'll all like that bitch, she's a little feisty, she gave me a kick I can't forget so when the time comes, do the same,"

"Why not now!? Should we go and get her ourselves?"

"I don't know where she is at the moment because this bitch won't open her mouth and tell us, so, have at it and make sure she tells you where to find the stuck up bitch, Qin Qianyu."

Lu Mingyu looked to Chen Yiyin with utter disgust.

Chen Yiyin had been hounding her since she was caught to tell her where she could find Qin Qianyu.

But Lu Mingyu, kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. Even when both Chen Yongqing and Chen Yiyin got impatient and the latter slapped Lu Mingyu across the face, she didn't utter a single word.

This caused more frustration to build up in her and as she about to deliver another she was stopped by one of the hired muscles.

"I don't like others tenderising my meat! Then I'd have nothing to do."

Chen Yiyin huffed and her mood soured even more.

Lu Mingyu then cast her gazed at Chen Yiyin's brother. He stood their like a pampered prince holding nothing or anyone in his eyes.

He had started to develop a crush and harbour thoughts on Lu Mingyu himself the same way it was for Cheng Yifei.

Ever since he had seen her that day when she was with teacher Mu setting up the stream and then again at the morgue. He found Lu Mingyu to be just as pretty as Cheng Yifei.

Meeting his eyes filled Lu Mingyu with hate, she couldn't stand him. She then took stock of all the other people there.

She wanted to remember every one of their faces so if she died during the ordeal, she wanted to remember who to haunt, and if she didn't, then she could make sure they wish they had died.

Lu Mingyu was in fight mode ever since she tried to stop these people from damaging Cheng Yifei's grave.

She was mad at herself that she didn't achieve that. She wanted to fight them to the death til teacher Mu used his body to shield her from a sneak attack.

He made her run for safety while he tried to stop them from advancing on her.

He could sense that the desiccation of Cheng Yifei's grave wasn't their only goal.

Yet, she was still caught in the end and now she doesn't even know teacher Mu's fate but she had an idea of what the Chen siblings had in mind for her.

She steeled her heart for what was about to come. Even still she wasn't about to let them have it easily either.

"Sister let me go first! . . It'll be such a waste to let me have her then they can fight over the scraps."

"She's not worth it little brother, plus who knows what this slit has shoved up there, do you want to take that risk?"

"That's why condoms were invented silly sister."

"Mhm, alright, but I'll stay and watch just in case something happens."

Chen Yongqing looked at his sister but it wasn't in a weird way. None of the hired hands noticed it but Lu Mingyu and Zhu Yue did.

"That's fine with me, I'll show you how much better I've gotten."

Lu Mingyu's muscles tightened up, she was ready to launch into a flurry of kicks and bites for when he came close to her.

"Alright you lot, my brother wants first round, go have a smoke, fresh air or something, I'll let you know when it's all of your turn."

"Huh!? Cant even get to watch!"

"Oh you can stay and watch if you want! Just take my needles in the eyes. How about it?"

"Ah . . I'll wait . . "

"Good idea!"

The hired muscles left and went somewhere else to wait while the Chen siblings started circling Lu Mingyu.

Zhu Yue sent a message to his sister telling her the situation and asked when all of her people would get there.

"Little slut, my brother wants to ride you, so behave yourself, otherwise, I'll give you a taste of what I gave teacher Mu."

"Heh, give him some training wheels, he might fall off and scrape a knee or bang his head! Oh and get me some earplugs! I don't think I'd be able to handle a sissy boy crying!"
