She looked at the burly men approaching her and retreated in terror.
"Don't come any closer! Stay away!"
As she screamed, one of the men grabbed her chin and forcefully made her swallow a bottle of medicine.
Not far away, Ge Jun and two others suffered the same fate.
After everyone had been made to swallow the medicine, Assistant Mu pushed up his glasses and said, "BOSS, Mr. Ruan, let's wait outside."
Xi Jiu responded with a cold 'hmm' and turned to leave.
Before long, the room was filled with bursts of yells.
...
Hours later, the room returned to silence.
The burly men dressed themselves and walked out, casually passing a USB drive to Assistant Mu.
"It's all recorded."
Assistant Mu acknowledged with a 'hmm', "And those people?"
One of the men smirked maliciously, "Barely breathing."
"Very good." Assistant Mu nodded, "The money will be transferred immediately; you can leave now."
The men left, satisfied.
Assistant Mu handed the USB drive to Xi Jiu.
