My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang didn't offer him water, but instead looked at him coldly and asked, "What is the purpose of that token?"

Huang Jiayu wanted to struggle a bit more, but looking at Ji Yunshuang's cold face, he realized once again that if he didn't answer her questions as she asked, she might really let him die here.

She probably didn't care that much about what the token actually did.

He finally said, "That was a communication order from Ruyi Tower."

Ji Yunshuang frowned slightly. "What is Ruyi Tower?"

Huang Jiayu said in a hoarse voice, "Ruyi Tower is a Jianghu gang, but although they are a Jianghu gang, they act under the orders of powerful figures in the capital. However, I don't know which powerful figures they are. I always contact them with a token."

Ji Yunshuang sneered: "You really don't know?"

Although Ji Yunshuang only gave a cold laugh and did not subject him to any punishment, Huang Jiayu involuntarily trembled.

He said, "No... I'm not quite sure. I've just been following them around for a long time and guessed a little, but it's not very accurate."

Ji Yunshuang impatiently uttered a single word, "Speak!"

Huang Jiayu knew it was futile, but he still couldn't help but struggle a little and said, "Can you give me some water first? I'll talk after I drink it. My lips are so sticky I can't move them."

Ji Yunshuang coldly scrutinized him, thinking about what he had done, and she felt a little like wanting to just let him die of thirst.

Huang Jiayu sensed the change in her emotions and dared not make any more demands. He began to confess what he knew in a hoarse voice.

At the same time, Fu Pei was also listening to his subordinates' report.

"What did you say?" Fu Pei said with a fierce look in his eyes, "So many of you went out and couldn't find Huang Jiayu's whereabouts? Did he just vanish into thin air?"

The people below didn't dare to breathe, but what they were thinking was that Huang Jiayu had really disappeared into thin air.

However, they dared not say this, and could only ask Fu Pei to give them more time so they could continue their investigation.

Fu Pei frowned, pondering recent events. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

If Huang Jiayu chose to betray him because he had allied himself with a power that was of higher status and more influence than him.

He could gain greater benefits through other means.

Why would he use such a foolish method?

He chose him and decided to cooperate with him because he thought he was a smart man. But these recent events are completely unlike what he would do.

Perhaps he was misled from the very beginning?

He felt a chill for no reason and said, "All of you go and keep an eye on his men."

"Yes!"

Everyone accepted the order and left.

Inside the space, Ji Yunshuang had finished interrogating Huang Jiayu.

She ignored his pleas for to be untied and for food and drink, and instead left to see Xia Biao.

Xia Biao and Huang Jiayu were actually tied to the same forest.

However, the two were far apart, and the trees on the black soil grew quickly. After being transplanted, these trees soon became lush and leafy.

In addition, she blindfolded Xia Biao and gagged him, preventing him from seeing his surroundings and communicating with Huang Jiayu.

But Huang Jiayu's fear and breakdown seemed contagious, and he was unknowingly surrounded by fear and breakdown as well.

Ji Yunshuang pulled off the cloth covering his face.

Xia Biao's eyes had been accustomed to darkness for a long time, and when he suddenly saw light, he subconsciously avoided his eyes.

Ji Yunshuang continued to pull the things off his mouth.

By this time, Xia Biao's eyes had adjusted to the light. He first surveyed his surroundings before looking at Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang also looked at him and said, "You must have heard what Huang Jiayu said just now."

Xia Biao assumed Ji Yunshuang also wanted to interrogate him, "What do you want to ask?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "There's nothing I want to ask for now, but..."

Xia Biao asked, "But what?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "However, you only have two choices."

Xia Biao asked, "What choice?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Either from now on, you will follow my orders and do things for me. Or, like Huang Jiayu, you will be tied up here and slowly wait to die."

If someone had said that to him in the past, Xia Biao would have found it very funny.

But now, he dared not underestimate the woman in front of him.

He asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Farming."

Xia Biao seemed to have heard something amusing, "Farming?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Yes, farming!"

Xia Biao seemed to have heard something absurd, "You went through all this trouble just so I could farm?"

“Wrong! It’s about making use of waste.” Ji Yunshuang said calmly, “You should have died with Huang Jiayu. But I’m a frugal person, and I felt that you’ve had a hard life, and it would be a pity if you died. So I decided to make use of you.”

Xia Biao wanted to swear. Is this how you use thrift? He even called himself a piece of trash and said that making him farm was making use of trash.

This woman! She's gone too far!

Ji Yunshuang completely disregarded his anger, "You don't need to answer me immediately, you can take your time to think about it."

"No, no need to think about it, I can answer you right now," Xia Biao said. "Give me food and water."

Ji Yunshuang didn't lift a finger; she simply used her mind to loosen the ropes binding him.

Seeing that she did nothing, the ropes binding her loosened naturally, and Xia Biao was filled with disbelief.

"Wait!" After saying that, Ji Yunshuang turned and left.

Xia Biao watched Ji Yunshuang turn and leave, his shock growing even stronger.

She just left like that? Wasn't she afraid of running away herself?

Or did she have some backup plan, certain that she couldn't escape?

Xia Biao rubbed his wrists and ankles.

Although he had been tied up in the forest and starved for a long time, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and this was not his limit.

He can actually still run.

Is he going to run away?

Xia Biao hesitated.

Just as he was hesitating, Ji Yunshuang returned with steamed buns and water.

Ji Yunshuang tossed him the steamed bun, saying, "Eat it, then get back to work."

Xia Biao took the steamed bun and found that it was hot, which deepened his doubts.

In this desolate wilderness, she had only been gone for a short while. Where did she get these soft, white, and hot steamed buns?

He didn't eat the steamed bun, but stared longingly at the water bucket Ji Yunshuang was carrying. "Could you give me some water? I want to drink some water first."

Ji Yunshuang handed over the bucket indifferently, and Xia Biao grabbed it, buried his head in it, and drank it down in big gulps.

Ji Yunshuang was too lazy to wait for him to eat, so she said directly, "I'll give you fifteen minutes. Come with me to farm in fifteen minutes."

After saying that, she strode away from the woods.

Seeing that she had really disappeared from sight, Xia Biao ate the steamed bun in a few bites, turned around and ran away.

But after running for a short while, a look of collapse appeared on his face.

No matter how far he ran, he couldn't leave this forest. It seemed that after running a certain distance, an invisible wall would appear in front of him, blocking his way.
