Di Shishi glanced at the two people on the ground who had been violently beaten. With just a glance, she smiled at Qin He.
"Qin He, how do I look in this outfit? Pretty? This outfit is limited edition. I spent a lot to grab it a few days ago, and it just arrived last night."
"Not bad," Qin He complimented, then pointed to the two on the ground, "These two, Bafeng."
Only then did Di Shishi properly look at the two clearly abnormal individuals on the floor.
"Bafeng? Beaten to this extent? It's really embarrassing for our Qingyan Mansion, and they're even high-level members!"
The two on the ground, their pride wounded, reacted strongly.
"It's bad enough you're impersonating Qingxie! To find someone like this to impersonate Boss Di Shi!"
"Boss Di Shi is the demoness of Qingyan Mansion!"
"Boss Di Shi is the black widow of Qingyan Mansion!"
"To find a little loli to impersonate?" One of them looked disdainfully at Di Shishi's chest. "Nothing fits except your chest!"
Qin He quietly sat down on a nearby chair.
Di Shishi stood still, a forced smile on her face. "Demoness?"
The two continued to scoff, and Qin He quietly turned her head away.
Di Shishi opened her fluffy little bag. "Black widow?"
From the cute, fluffy little bag, she pulled out a dagger with a cold glint!
She toyed with the dagger, twirling it like a champion high school student twirling a pen. The cold gleam danced in her fingers, creating afterimages. The speed was so fast that a single slip could result in losing a few fingers.
The two were dumbfounded!
Di Shishi grinned, revealing two sharp, white little fangs. "Come on, I want you to explain yourselves today!"
Qin He couldn't help but interject. "Well, they are high-level members. Don't kill them. Cutting off an ear would suffice."
After their initial shock, the two trembled.
The knife in Di Shishi's hand moved faster than they could dodge.
Howls echoed through the room.
Ten minutes later—
Di Shishi, having vented her anger, sat on another chair next to Qin He.
Qin He quietly looked at the two people in front of her, who had been beaten into pig's heads and now sported two bruised, egg-shaped heads.
"Are you calmer now?" Qin He asked Di Shishi.
"If they weren't from Qingyan Mansion, I would have conveniently sliced off their noses and ears too. It would have made them more complete."
Qin He looked at the trembling, huddled-together Bafeng "pighead" brothers.
"Do you believe now?"
"We believe!"
Di Shi had posted this move on the forum before. Although she hadn't shown her face, the technique was identical!
This was simply impossible to imitate!
The two silently teared up. "Boss Qingxie, we were blind. We never imagined it was really you!"
People from Qingyan Mansion had good relationships. High-level members had a similar superior-subordinate relationship with administrators, and they also helped each other within that framework.
When high-level members encountered problems while taking on missions, administrators would help them. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a life-saving grace.
The two trembled. "Boss, why don't you punish us? We truly violated the rules."
Qin He smiled. "Ignorance is no offense. But can you cooperate with me now? I want to find Zero Point Rose."
The two nodded their heads vigorously.
Qin He called Shen Ruiyi in, untied the Bafeng duo, and introduced them.
"This is Bu San Dao, Shen Ruiyi."
The two, with their battered and shaved heads, somewhat shamefully introduced themselves.
"I am Qi Zhen, the older brother of the Bafeng combination."
"My name is Qi Yang, the younger brother of Bafeng—"
Shen Ruiyi's lips curved upwards, then down, then upwards again.
Qin He added from the side, "Ruiyi, take them to get bandaged. And check their teeth."
Shen Ruiyi's facial muscles twitched as he led the two away.
Outside the door, Qin He could still hear their voices.
Shen Ruiyi: "Boss Di Shi really hit hard. Did she knock out their teeth?"
One of the Bafeng members: "We attacked Boss Qingxie, it's deserved. We're lucky she didn't take our lives."
Shen Ruiyi poked at their sore spot. "Boss Di Shi shaved your heads herself. That's great; you can keep this hairstyle."
By the time Shen Ruiyi returned with the two after they were bandaged, they had also changed into new clothes.
Qin He and Di Shishi were in the hospital room, playing Gomoku idly. When they saw the two enter, Di Shishi let out a cold snort.
The two instinctively cowered.
Qin He asked about Zero Point Rose. Qi Zhen, the elder brother of Bafeng, immediately offered his phone. "Boss, you send the message yourself. You can say whatever you want."
Qin He opened the chat history between Bafeng and Zero Point Rose.
Besides normal job requests and information gathering, Zero Point Rose had also urged them yesterday to confirm Qin He's death.
Zero Point Rose: [It would be best if you rape and then kill her. I want to see her corpse!]
Bafeng: [We cannot accept this additional request. We can only complete the originally agreed-upon work!]
Qin He raised her eyes and glanced at the two. They immediately started sweating.
Zero Point Rose: [That's fine too. Where's the body? When will you kill her? I saw on Weibo that she was on the verge of death. On the verge of death is not dead!]
Bafeng: [You will receive news tomorrow.]
Qin He looked at the chat log, handed the phone back to Qi Zhen, and asked, "What account did she use to give you the deposit?"
Qi Zhen immediately stepped forward, took the phone, and brought up the mobile banking transaction records.
"Boss, our receiving account was bought. Zero Point Rose's transfer account was likely bought too. Is this useful?"
Qin He looked at the account number, and the corner of her lips curled up. "It's useful. Since it was bought, there's always a traceable origin!"
This was much better than searching for a needle in a haystack on the dark web!
Qin He sat in the hospital room and asked Shen Ruiyi to bring in a laptop.
To avoid exposure, Qi Zhen and Qi Yang remained in the hospital room as guards, while the intruders became the defenders.
Qin He worked diligently until the afternoon, tracing the identity of the cardholder who received the transfer, then tracing the intermediaries who bought and sold these cards, and finally following the surveillance footage to the intermediaries' sales records.
After a series of efforts, she finally identified a person.
It was a male assistant to Song Nuan. The money was transferred from this male assistant's card.
Qin He took a screenshot and casually sent a copy to Gu Qichen.
After sending it, she checked the male assistant's information. After Song Nuan left Qingcheng, the male assistant had left with her.
It seemed he was a "loyal" subordinate, still working for Song Nuan even at this point.
Qin He propped her chin. "It's figured out. It confirms my suspicions."
Di Shishi leaned over to look. "Then just call the police and arrest her."
Qin He gave a wry smile and pointed to Qi Zhen and Qi Yang in the room. "If we call the police, what about these two?"
Qi Zhen and Qi Yang's faces dimmed.
"Qi Zhen, Qi Yang, you two will atone for your crimes. Go and bring Song Nuan to me," Qin He said after thinking.
Both of them perked up. "Okay!"
