Chapter 161

Following Lin Qianhuan’s gaze, Ling Yun and the team members behind him also changed their expressions.

The only people who could have cut the rope were their own, but this person clearly didn’t intend to let the team members who were with them survive.

She wasn’t just trying to harm Lin Qianhuan; she also didn’t care about the team members on the same rope as Lin Qianhuan.

Everyone present was intelligent, and they all turned their attention to Qu Xintong, their faces showing disdain.

Being stared at by so many people at once, Qu Xintong nervously swallowed, but her mouth remained stubborn.

“What are you all looking at me for?

Are you implying that I cut the rope?

Show me the evidence, don’t just make baseless accusations here!”

Her voice trembled slightly, but her mind was very clear.

If she really admitted that she cut the rope, she would definitely not have a good time in the days to come.

What awaited her was not only Lin Qianhuan’s revenge, but also the team members’ isolation and disgust.

After being out for so many days, Qu Xintong had more or less seen the current situation clearly.

In the Kyoto base, with her father as her backing, she did things without any scruples, having the capital to be willful and arrogant.

But outside the Kyoto base, no one was willing to indulge her.

Ling Yun was a cold and indifferent person who didn’t take her seriously at all.

The other team members were only being tolerant of her because of her high-ranking father, but they weren’t very close to her.

In this situation, if she “died accidentally,” probably no one would care.

Ling Yun stood in place, his patience with Qu Xintong had reached its limit.

“I’ve turned a blind eye to many of your actions for the sake of Captain Qu.

But Qu Xintong, you’ve gone too far this time.

Our team has a total of 12 people, and you alone have harmed 6 of them, as well as Lin Qianhuan, who provides us with food and clothing.

Are you even human? Do you have any regard for your team members?

Fratricide during missions is a major taboo!”

Ling Yun was feeling annoyed, but he was unwilling to lay a hand on a woman.

Hearing him say this, Qu Xintong remained unmoved, trying her best to defend and excuse herself.

“What does it have to do with me? Just because I was at the end of the line, you want to put the blame on me?

What if the rope was accidentally cut by something sharp during the action?

It doesn’t necessarily mean it was done on purpose!

If I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it. I, Qu Xintong, will absolutely not take the blame for this.”

As she spoke, she cried, her eyes red, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

It was all Lin Qianhuan’s fault, why didn’t she get lost in the fog?

Why did she come back alive?

If she had died, she wouldn’t have to face this situation now!

That bitch!

A few tears fell from the corner of Qu Xintong’s eyes, and she clenched her back teeth, suppressing the surging hatred.

Lin Qianhuan stood in place, quietly watching her perform, a sarcastic smile appearing on her face, and raised her hand to applaud for her.

“Qu Xintong, it’s a waste of talent for you not to be an actress.

Your methods are extremely ruthless, but on the surface, you look like someone being bullied and framed.

You’ve really opened my eyes.”

She took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Qu Xintong’s hair that was scattered on her shoulders, using the force to drag her out.

“Ah! My hair!

Lin Qianhuan, what do you want to do!”

Qu Xintong struggled desperately, not noticing at all that, despite being treated so roughly, she didn’t feel even a little bit of pain.

Due to the strangeness of Lingqing City, Lin Qianhuan couldn’t kill Qu Xintong.

But she would never let this woman have an easy time.

Dragging her out the door, Lin Qianhuan grabbed the rope and led her into the depths of the dense fog.

She couldn’t kill her, but couldn’t she torture her?

Qu Xintong couldn’t feel physical pain, so she would let her taste the feeling of being enveloped in fear.

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes were full of frost as she walked with Qu Xintong for a long time, threw her in the middle of the road, then turned and left, her figure disappearing into the dense fog.

“Qu Xintong, you should be glad that you can’t die here, and you don’t have any pain.

Otherwise…”

Lin Qianhuan chuckled, causing Qu Xintong to shiver subconsciously.

She struggled to stand up, wanting to find Lin Qianhuan’s trace, wanting her to take her back to the office building.

“Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!

Come back! Come back to me!”

She screamed and shouted Lin Qianhuan’s name, bumping around like a headless fly, but she couldn’t see anything, couldn’t touch anything.

“My dad is a high-ranking official in the Kyoto base, how dare you treat me like this!

Take me back, if I die, none of you will have a good time!

My dad will avenge me, just wait and see!”

Qu Xintong looked deranged, crawling on the ground and groping around, trying to find Lin Qianhuan’s trace.

But there was nothing, no matter which direction she crawled, it was a white expanse, and she couldn’t see the end at all.

What was hidden in the thick fog?

Zombies?

Mutated animals?

Or those fantastical and strange monsters from movies?

Qu Xintong was shaking like a sieve, her emotions on the verge of collapse.

Lin Qianhuan didn’t care about her, pulling the rope and returning to the office building.

Seeing her come back alone, Ling Yun wasn’t surprised, nor did he say much.

“Captain Ling, if Qu Xintong goes missing or dies, you won’t be able to explain it when you return to the base, right?”

Lin Qianhuan put away the rope, tilted her head slightly and looked at him indifferently.

Ling Yun hooked the corner of his lips imperceptibly: “You don’t think that just because I said I couldn’t explain it, Miss Lin would let her go, would you?”

“Of course not, your inability to explain has nothing to do with me.”
