Volume 1 Chapter 77: Interrogation, Manipulation, and Psychological Warfare
“Y-you... you!!”
The pain of the black blade piercing through her palm was already unbearable.
But the pain when it was pulled out was even worse, something she would never forget.
Because of the pain in her hand, Liu Li was already starting to roll her eyes and lose clear thinking.
She was only a pampered middle-aged woman.
Whenever she went out, she had a driver take her.
Even running a few steps made her breathe heavily.
She also had several heart and blood pressure problems common at her age.
How could someone like her endure treatment like this?
Her body kept shaking and twitching from the terrible pain. But Kaguya had pinned her whole body to the chair, so she could only twist helplessly.
Seeing this somewhat cruel scene, Kaguya slightly raised an eyebrow.
But after another thought, this woman had worked with the so-called mastermind to gain money.
Who knew how many dirty things she had done over the years?
Just take the amusement park incident as an example.
If Kaguya had not gone there...
If Amber had not appeared...
Then all those children would have died there.
And after that jellyfish monster grew stronger, adults would also become its food.
How many people would have died then?
And someone like Liu Li had surely done things like this more than once.
Would magical girls always be there every time to stop her?
The answer was clearly no.
Thinking of this, the hesitation in Kaguya’s heart disappeared at once.
She had not lost control because of anger. The elegant smile still remained on her face.
She casually shook the lollipop in her hand. The black blade floating before Liu Li disappeared instantly.
After giving a satisfied glance at the blood on the floor, Kaguya lightly laughed and looked back at the twisted-faced boss in front of her.
“Well then, Boss Liu probably understands what I want to ask.”
“But after our little talk just now, I’ve noticed your understanding ability seems to have some problems...”
Kaguya placed her slim white finger on her lips, tilted her head, and showed a bright smile like a child.
“So, I’ll ask again.”
“Could Boss Liu kindly tell me all your little secrets... and also everything about the person behind you, in full detail?”
“Ah... ah...”
Liu Li could not move her body at all. She could only struggle helplessly in the chair.
She could not even do something as simple as curling up.
That chair, once comfortable, now brought her endless suffering. The pain from her pierced hand made it impossible for her to speak clearly.
She could only raise her head with difficulty and stare at the young-looking girl before her.
Judging by age...
This girl was probably only a middle school student. In Liu Li’s usual view, children that age were all childish fools.
They knew nothing about the real world.
They argued with parents over small things.
They probably still dreamed about romance and silly fantasies.
But this girl’s actions were the complete opposite of her young appearance.
When she acted cruelly, she did not even blink. She could even laugh while looking at blood on the floor.
No...
It was exactly the contrast between her harmless appearance and terrifying actions that frightened Liu Li the most.
People said the Bai family’s young lady was wild and impossible to control.
But compared to the girl in front of her, that young lady seemed like a well-behaved child.
A madwoman.
This girl was a complete madwoman!
She could not understand it.
No matter how much she thought, she could not understand how she had been so unlucky.
How had she ended up provoking someone like this?
“I... I...”
Liu Li had completely lost the power to resist.
Her fear of Kaguya and the pain in her body had worn away the little willpower she had left.
She could only answer in broken words. But deep inside, she still held onto one tiny hope.
She believed this girl, though cruel, was still too immature. She had caused such a huge disturbance.
If Liu Li could delay just a little longer, the Special Investigation Department and that powerful person would surely send someone to save her!
“Ah, Boss Liu is still holding onto some unnecessary fantasy?”
But Kaguya saw through what she was thinking at a glance. With the lollipop in her mouth, she smiled brightly and said,
“No one will come to this building tonight anymore~ And don’t expect any rescue to come either~”
Heh, why do you think I worked so hard to clear away all unrelated people just now? For fun?
She silently added that in her heart.
“Wh...”
The girl’s cheerful words mercilessly pushed Liu Li into despair.
That’s right...
This girl made all the workers disappear beforehand because she did not want anyone interfering.
Although Liu Li did not know what method she used, it was likely true that no one would come.
Otherwise, after such a huge and obvious explosion just now, the Special Investigation Department would have already sent people to investigate.
“Sigh, it seems Boss Liu does not want to share her little secrets with me. How sad...”
Just as Liu Li’s expression became uglier and uglier, Kaguya suddenly let out a loud sigh.
Then with a flick of her wrist, a card flew and landed beside Liu Li.
It was a work ID card.
And the photo and name on it were far too familiar to Liu Li.
It was her daughter’s work card.
“This is...!”
The moment she saw it, Liu Li’s face changed greatly.
She struggled even harder, twisting her body wildly, but still could not move at all.
She could only stare at the girl before her with eyes almost popping out.
“You bitch! What did you do to her?!”
“Oh my, so Boss Liu can speak after all. Then why were you only making noises before? Honestly...”
Kaguya covered her mouth in fake surprise and blinked.
Then she elegantly crossed her legs, her black stocking-covered calf swinging gently in the air.
“I didn’t do anything. I just thought... if Boss Liu doesn’t want to share secrets with me, then I can only ask someone else to share them~”
“Sigh, that Miss Liu has followed you since childhood and suffered quite a lot, hasn’t she?”
“And even now, the relationship between mother and daughter still isn’t very good.”
“How sad.”
Kaguya calmly looked at the colorful city lights outside the window, then softly sighed.
“She works alone in a milk tea shop and refuses to accept help from her mother.”
“She’s such a hardworking child...”
“I wonder if the two of you will ever have a chance to repair your relationship in the future?”
She supported her cheek with one hand. Her delicate face was filled with concern.
“......”
Liu Li bit her teeth so hard that cracking sounds came out.
It was over.
That was the only thought in Liu Li’s mind now.
The girl’s words had completely destroyed the last line of defense in her heart.
Her wealth.
Her career.
Even her family.
In this short moment, everything had been completely placed in the hands of the girl before her.
How did she know about her daughter?
Had something already happened to her daughter...?
Her daughter had fallen into the hands of such an unreadable madwoman.
Liu Li did not even dare continue thinking about it.
At that moment, a cold chill ran down her back.
Compared with the feeling of being completely controlled like this, even the pain in her right hand became unimportant.
Now she finally understood how foolish her little plan to delay time had been.
From the very beginning, she had already been tightly held in this girl’s palm.
This girl knew everything. She was only playing with her...
Only enjoying the slow process of destroying her mind bit by bit…
