Chapter 861: Mr. Q, Number One on the Rankings

Mrs. Ao slowly came back to herself. "I’ve heard my old man say before, the number one hacker in the world right now is a mysterious master whose codename is Q. If we’re hiring someone, then let’s hire him! However much it costs, I can afford it!"Si Moyu: "Money’s not the issue, I can afford it too. The point is whether he’s willing to come out of hiding."

He took his phone back, his gaze sinking as he stared at that photo that made people want to cough up blood, and the kidnappers’ shameless terms.

They wanted him to sell out Qin Xin in exchange for bringing Hu Yi back?

He really couldn’t do it.

But looking at his most cherished nephew in such a miserable state, his heart truly hurt.

The freshly stitched wounds from his surgery seemed to be splitting apart inch by inch, the pain almost unbearable.

"If we can’t find this master with the codename Q, then I’ll contact the kidnappers and use myself to swap for the hostages."

He said in a low voice.

He couldn’t sell out Qin Xin, but he was willing to trade his life to bring those three little ones back.

Mrs. Ao was completely stunned.

She had a vague feeling that Si Moyu knew who Queen was.

But he’d rather throw his life away than let that secret slip.

Is it worth it?

In the dim dungeon.

Hu Yi passed out and woke up again.

He was hanging upside down in midair, all the blood rushing to his head, making him dizzy and groggy.

He couldn’t see the situation inside the room clearly, but he heard a gloomy voice that made his skin crawl: "Talk. Who is Queen?"

Hu Yi frowned. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

So they kidnapped them for this?

He was extremely cautious, carefully dodging the question without answering.

The other person sneered. "Don’t understand? You weren’t saying that outside your uncle’s hospital room. You said you never thought she’d be Queen. Who exactly is she?"

Hu Yi: "You heard wrong. Let me go!"

Seeing him so stubbornly tight-lipped, the other person stopped wasting words and went straight for the brutal option: "I hear you like racing? A racer’s hands are his soul. No hands, you can’t even hold a steering wheel. Tell me, is Queen’s secret more important, or are your hands more important?"

Hu Yi went silent.

The other man was enraged, his voice turning icy. "Since that’s how it is, then take your hands and be buried with her."

A dark shadow flashed past.

Hu Yi only felt his wrists clamped in an iron grip, then suddenly bent hard.

He didn’t even have time to scream before both his wrists were snapped clean.

The pain made cold sweat pour off him in sheets.

He gave a miserable laugh. "Racing, my ass. I just don’t feel like answering your dumbass question. How about you show me your face if you’ve got the balls? A piece of shit without even a face dares to come question me? Pah..."

"Crack—!" Humiliated and furious, the other man yanked hard on Hu Yi’s already broken wrists, tearing bone from flesh.

Hu Yi passed out completely.

His last thought before blacking out was—Sister Xin, hurry up and praise me, am I badass or what?

Ow, Sister Xin, it hurts hurts hurts ahhhh.

＝＝

In the dungeon next door.

Huo Zhen was hanging upside down in the same way.

He was thin, with hardly any flesh on his ankles, the rope cutting so deep it was about to wedge into the bone.

But he didn’t make a sound. Facing the voice in the dark, he acted like a deaf man who couldn’t hear a thing, giving no response at all.

"What’s your name?"

"Who is Queen? The ’sis’ you mentioned, who is she?"

"Is that ’sis’ Queen?"

"Where is she now?"

"Talk! Are you deaf?!"

"Look at that ugly mug of yours, you got Tourette’s or something? You know if you keep getting electrocuted with Tourette’s, you’ll twitch yourself into a hideous idiot?"

"Keep playing mute and I’ll zap you to death."

"Tss... bzz bzz bzz..." Strings of electric sparks lit up the dungeon.

Huo Zhen’s face twisted in pain.

But he still didn’t say a word, his lips bitten open.

In the darkness, there was clearly no one there besides him, only a machine discharging electricity.

Yet the air was filled with that gloomy, enraged voice: "Ending up like this for a woman, what’s so worth it?"

Huo Zhen: "..."

You don’t know shit. She’s not a woman, she’s my faith.
