Chapter 272 Bai Qianyue, shut up!
After Li Ze asked this question, the room suddenly became very quiet.
Bai Qianyue stood there, listening to Li Ze ask her who the power behind her really was.
A very strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She looked at Li Ze with a mysterious light in her eyes.
She didn't speak, just stood there quietly, as if she hadn't heard Li Ze's question.
Li Ze sat in the chair, watching Bai Qianyue's reaction.
His brow furrowed slightly.
He knew that Bai Qianyue didn't want to tell him.
Li Ze picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.
Then he looked at Bai Qianyue, his tone becoming very cold:
"What? You don't want to talk about it?"
"Qianyue, I advise you to be honest and tell me everything you know."
"You're in my hands now. Do you think you have any chance of escaping?"
Li Ze paused for a moment, then continued:
"My men have many ways to get you to spill all your secrets."
"I don't want to use those unpleasant methods on you. After all, we've known each other before."
"Just tell me honestly who's behind you. I promise I won't hurt you."
Bai Qianyue heard Li Ze say that he would use tricks on her.
Instead of showing fear, she laughed even louder.
She looked at Li Ze, her tone tinged with mockery:
"Methods? Brother Li Ze, what methods do you intend to use against me?"
"Are you going to send someone to beat me up? Or will you torture me in some even more horrific way?"
Bai Qianyue took a step forward, her eyes fixed on Li Ze:
"Come on! Let them do it!"
"If I, Bai Qianyue, were to even frown, I wouldn't be surnamed Bai!"
"You want to know who's behind me? Let me tell you, you'll never find out!"
Bai Qianyue's voice became very loud and resolute.
"Even if I die, I will never reveal a single word to you!"
Li Ze looked at Bai Qianyue's stubborn and unyielding attitude.
He felt extremely helpless inside.
He just said he was going to use some tricks on her, but he was just trying to scare her.
Although Li Ze had spent eighteen years abroad, he was also very shrewd.
But he really couldn't bring himself to torture a woman.
What's more, this woman was his former college classmate.
Li Ze sighed.
He looked at Bai Qianyue and shook his head:
"Qianyue, why are you doing this?"
"Do you think I really can't find out just because you don't tell me?"
"I have so many people under my command and so many resources. If I want to investigate, sooner or later I will be able to uncover the power behind you."
Bai Qianyue sneered and said:
"Really? Then go ahead and investigate! I want to see just how capable you, the world's richest man, really are, and what you can find out!"
Li Ze looked at Bai Qianyue, knowing that it was impossible to get anything out of her today.
This woman has now completely fallen into a state of paranoia and madness.
The things she was thinking were things that normal people couldn't understand at all.
Li Ze stood up from the chair.
He straightened his clothes and looked at Bai Qianyue.
His tone became very calm and very cold.
He began to speak:
"Fine. Since you absolutely refuse to confess, I won't force you."
"I can refrain from torturing you, and you can choose not to say anything at all."
"But you need to understand, this is your own choice."
Li Ze paused for a moment, his eyes becoming extremely sharp:
"Since you've chosen to say nothing, don't blame me for locking you up here forever."
"At least until I fully understand who those people behind you are and what their motives are."
"There is absolutely no way I will let you out."
Upon hearing this...
The smile on Bai Qianyue's face vanished instantly.
Her eyes widened suddenly.
She looked at Li Ze, her voice trembling slightly, and asked:
"What...what did you say? You're going to lock me up here forever?"
Li Ze nodded and answered with great certainty:
"Yes. From now on, you'll stay in this room obediently."
"There's plenty of food and drink here. You'll have a great time here."
Bai Qianyue heard Li Ze's resolute answer.
She completely broke down.
She suddenly lunged at Li Ze.
But she had only taken two steps when she was grabbed tightly by the old man standing next to her.
The first one is very strong.
He used only one hand to pin Bai Qianyue to the spot, rendering her unable to move.
Bai Qianyue struggled desperately.
She shouted loudly at Li Ze:
"Li Ze! You can't do this to me!"
"Let me out! Let me out!"
"Everything I did was for you! How could you be so heartless!"
Li Ze stood there, watching Bai Qianyue's crazed state.
There was not a trace of sympathy on his face.
He looked at her and said in a very cold tone:
"For me? Stop using such disgusting excuses."
"Everything you do is just to satisfy your own selfish desires."
Bai Qianyue heard Li Ze say this.
She suddenly stopped struggling.
She looked up at Li Ze.
Her eyes were filled with resentment.
She started yelling:
"It's all because of that bitch Zhang Ruoran!"
"It's all her fault! She's the one who stole you from me!"
"If it weren't for her, you would have been with me long ago! We would have been married long ago!"
"Zhang Ruoran is a jinx! I curse her! I curse her to a terrible death!"
Bai Qianyue's voice was extremely shrill and unpleasant to hear.
She was like a complete madwoman, yelling and cursing at Zhang Ruoran in the room.
Li Ze heard Bai Qianyue scolding Zhang Ruoran.
His expression changed instantly.
He took a big step forward.
He looked at Bai Qianyue with a terrifying gaze.
He warned loudly:
"Bai Qianyue! Shut up!"
"I won't allow you to speak ill of Ruoran! If you dare say another bad word about her, I will absolutely not be lenient with you!"
Bai Qianyue looked at Li Ze's angry expression.
Instead of being afraid, she laughed even more wildly.
She said loudly:
"What? Feeling sorry for her? Do you think protecting her will bring you happiness?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible! As long as I live, I will never let you get away with this!"
Li Ze looked at the woman in front of him who had completely lost her mind.
He took a deep breath.
He thought to himself that this woman had really gone mad.
There's no reasoning with a madman.
Li Ze turned his head and looked at Lao Yi, who was standing next to Bai Qianyue and pressing her down.
He gave the order to the old man:
"Oldest brother, keep an eye on her."
"No matter how much she throws a tantrum, just ignore her."
"As long as she has food and water every day, that's fine."
Li Ze paused for a moment, then added very seriously:
"Most importantly, we must never let her get hurt."
"We absolutely cannot let her commit suicide."
"I want her to live well in this room. To live on forever."
Lao Yi heard Li Ze's order.
He nodded very respectfully.
He answered loudly:
"Understood, boss. I'll have people watching her 24/7. I absolutely won't let anything happen to her."
Li Ze nodded.
He didn't look at Bai Qianyue again.
He turned around and strode out of the room.
The heavy metal door behind them slowly closed under Lao Yi's control.
The instant the door closed.
Bai Qianyue's shrill screams were completely shut out inside the room.
Li Ze walked in the brightly lit corridor.
He walked very fast.
He was thinking to himself.
For now, this is the only way to handle Bai Qianyue's situation.
Although we don't know who's behind her.
But as long as she is kept in this safest base.
She would then have no chance to hurt Ruoran and the two children again.
That's the most important thing.
As Li Ze walked, he took his phone out of his pocket.
He glanced at the time.
It's already afternoon here in America.
Ruoran and her brother-in-law's family should be back from shopping in downtown New York City soon.
He had to hurry back to the manor.
Tonight, he still needs to discuss with Ruoran about going to Las Vegas to see the dome tomorrow.
Li Ze strode out of the underground base.
He got into the black bulletproof SUV.
After starting the car, it drove along that secluded road toward the estate on Long Island.
……
at the same time.
Inside a very high-end shopping mall in downtown New York City.
Zhang Ruoran and her brother-in-law Zhang Jianguo and his family were walking out of a very famous clothing store.
Ruoran was carrying several shopping bags in her hands.
These are all new clothes that her sister-in-law, Wang Xiufen, insisted on dragging her inside to buy.
Ruoran originally did not want to buy it.
She felt that these clothes were all too expensive.
Any one of these items costs several thousand or even tens of thousands of US dollars.
However, her sister-in-law, Wang Xiufen, insisted.
The elder sister-in-law held Ruoran's hand and said to her:
"Ruoran, look at the clothes you're wearing now. They're all so worn out."
"You're Li Ze's wife now. Li Ze is so rich, how can you dress so casually as his wife?"
"If others see this, they'll think Li Ze is treating you badly."
Zhang Jianguo also joined in the persuasion:
"Yes, little sister, your sister-in-law is right. Just listen to her and pick out a few nice clothes. All the money for today is on me. Consider it a gift from your brother."
If you hear your brother and sister-in-law say the same thing.
She couldn't very well refuse anymore.
So she picked out a few very elegant clothes that suited her perfectly in the store.
After buying the clothes, everyone strolled around the mall for a while longer.
Then, Zhang Jianguo checked the time.
He said to everyone:
"It's getting late, let's stop here for today. Let's head back to the manor; Li Ze is waiting for us at home."
Everyone nodded.
They rode together in the car back to their estate on Long Island.
