Chapter 56: Reaping What You Sow

After being slapped three times in a row, Zhao Bin finally knew his place.

Lu Songli was satisfied. She always said that there is no mouth too insolent to be disciplined with slaps. If someone doesn’t submit, it means the slaps weren’t hard enough and there weren’t enough of them.

“I admit to what happened this time, Qin Sheng. You’ve hit me and scolded me. Can you let me go now?” Zhao Bin didn’t curse this time, but joked instead, “Leave a way out in everything, so we can meet again in the future.”

Qin Sheng remained unmoved, his large foot firmly planted on Zhao Bin.

Lu Songli found it surprising. Zhao Bin was so sure that they wouldn’t harm him, thinking that a little punishment would make them release him. Where did he get this confidence from? And he only mentioned Qin Sheng, completely disregarding her. Well, he fell today because he underestimated women, never considering her as a threat.

When you strike out and retract, that’s when you are most vulnerable to attacks. How could she not understand this principle? Zhao Bin probably wouldn’t dare to scheme against her at this moment.

At this point, Mo Bing brought her a chair from the carriage.

Squatting was indeed tiring. Lu Songli adjusted her skirt and sat down.

Zhao Bin, currently pinned to the ground, didn’t bother to lift his head. Seeing this, Luo Tie Niu stepped forward, grabbed his hair bun, and forced him to face Miss Lu.

Facing Lu Songli in a humiliating manner, Zhao Bin harbored intense hatred towards her and the person holding his hair bun. He vowed to retaliate when he had the chance!

So slick!

Lu Songli gave Luo Tie Niu an approving look. Observant and capable, he had a promising future.

Qin Sheng glanced at the big guy in front of him. Her people were always peculiar.

Others looked on enviously, learning from the scene.

Luo Tie Niu grinned, wishing he could raise his head high. His actions just now were instinctive; Zhao Bin was caught, and Miss Lu was speaking to him. How could he not listen attentively?

Lu Songli looked at Zhao Bin. “Tell me, what did you intend to do to me with this ambush?”

Zhao Bin hesitated. He initially wanted to claim it was a misunderstanding. But when he met her clear, penetrating gaze, he couldn’t speak. He felt that his excuse would not fool her and might even anger her. The three slaps on his face still stung fiercely.

So Zhao Bin remained silent.

Seeing his passive resistance, Lu Songli knew she wouldn’t get any answers from him. She decided not to waste any more time on him.

“Search his body,” Lu Songli ordered before standing up. “Go ask those people if they know anything. It’s time for them to make amends. Tell them that if they don’t speak, the consequences will be severe.”

Qin Sheng asked her, “Should I go?” He was skilled in interrogation, unlike the others.

Lu Songli shook her head. “You don’t need to go. Keeping an eye on him is our victory.” She pointed at Zhao Bin beneath their feet, considering the others insignificant.

As for Qin Sheng’s concerns about the others not being able to interrogate effectively, she wasn’t worried. People can learn to do things they initially couldn’t. Therefore, for minor matters, they could delegate them to subordinates. As a leader, one must provide opportunities for subordinates to practice, even if the results are not ideal. Giving them a chance to perform and make mistakes allows them to progress and grow.

These conversations took place while standing. Their voices were low, and Zhao Bin, lying on the ground with the ringing in his ears from the three slaps, couldn’t hear a word they were saying.

Lu Songli ordered a search of the body, and Chen Rong took on this task. Soon, he presented what was found on Zhao Bin. The other gold, silver, and jade ornaments are not worth mentioning, but a porcelain bottle caught their attention.

“Miss, this was found on him.”

A porcelain bottle.

Lu Songli asked Zhao Bin, “What is inside this?”

Zhao Bin remained silent.

“Miss, there are pills inside.” Chen Rong poured out the pills, each the size of a red fingertip.

“Are you planning to use this medicine on me? Is this your idea of leaving a way out?” Lu Songli looked at the pills, then at Zhao Bin who looked like a dead pig, with a cold gaze.

At this time, the interrogators Luo Tie Niu and Liu Erxi came over. They didn’t find out much, except that Zhao Bin wanted to set up an ambush to teach her a lesson. Apart from Zhao Bin himself, no one else knew the specific plan.

It was quite secretive.

“Well, I am curious to see what kind of reaction a person would have after taking this medicine.” Lu Songli sneered, “Bring two pills and feed them to him.”

“No, you can’t do this!” Zhao Bin’s face turned pale.

Lu Songli gave him a cold smile, then signaled to Chen Rong, not bothering to argue with him.

Chen Rong immediately stepped forward.

“Qin Sheng! Are you going to let her do as she pleases?!”

No matter what Zhao Bin said, Qin Sheng remained indifferent.

Qin Sheng was actually quite speechless. This guy looked smart, but he was actually quite foolish. At this point, he still couldn’t see who was in charge between him and Lu Songli. What’s the point of talking to him?

Seeing this, Zhao Bin turned to threaten Lu Songli, “If you dare to do this, my Zhao family will never let you go! Uh-uh—”

Before Zhao Bin could finish his words, his mouth was forced open, and two pills were forcefully stuffed inside. He tried to use his skills to spit them out, but Chen Rong pushed his throat, and the pills went straight into his stomach.

Before long, his face turned red, his breathing became erratic, and his restrained body involuntarily twisted like an eel, as if he couldn’t bear it, “Let me go!”

Qin Sheng’s face changed. Zhao Bin was a martial artist, and he couldn’t withstand the effects of this medicine. If the reaction was so strong, imagine what would happen if this medicine was used on Lu Songli. No, he couldn’t think about it!

When Lu Songli saw the pills, she already knew what despicable means he was using. This method was low and disgusting, but its destructive effect was top-notch. In ancient times, if a woman lost her innocence, it was as if she had suffered a devastating blow.

No, Zhao Bin didn’t intend to teach her a lesson; he clearly wanted to take her life. By destroying her innocence, what difference did it make to destroying her life?

And are there no other people around? Who will play the role of the defiler? Lu Songli looked around, finally fixing her gaze on Zhao Bin, who was already tearing at his own clothes, and the others around him, her small face tense.

“How much medicine is left in this bottle?” Forget it, Lu Songli continued to order, “Give one pill to each of the people he brought, and if there are more, distribute them. Keep using this bottle of medicine until it’s empty. Finally, bring them all to that dilapidated house.”

Zhao Bin chose this location quite well. Since it was a place he carefully selected, let him enjoy it to the fullest.

“No, you can’t do this! Qin Sheng, Lu Songli, are you really sure you want to provoke my Zhao family to the point of no return?” Zhao Bin struggled to remain calm. He never expected that the carefully crafted trap he set would end up being used against him.

At this point, Zhao Bin hoped that some passersby would notice the anomaly here. His men had long since withdrawn from the crossroads, and with no one to block the way, someone should have chosen this route, right?

What he didn’t know was that Lu Songli had used his old trick and placed two people at the intersection to divert the passersby.

All he could say was that he was reaping the consequences of his own actions.
