Chapter 131 Test
In the basement, Qu Bai was tied to a chair with many tubes connected to his head and body.
The person in charge of the test couldn't bear to look into his eyes.
"It's about to begin." the other party said.
Qu Bai looked calm and closed his eyes: "Let's start."
Ade was guarding outside the door, unable to bear to watch what happened next. He still stood straight as usual, but his eyes were filled with deep hatred.
The person inside also turned around and raised his hand to the person guarding the equipment: "Get ready."
As the instrument was turned on, Qu Bai, who was confined to the chair, was suddenly struck by excruciating pain.
The electric current was transmitted throughout his body, especially his brain, through the wires attached to his body. It was as if a cannonball had exploded in his brain. All the blood in his body rushed up in an instant, as if it was going to break through his skull.
In that instant, he couldn't tell where .
His head banged uncontrollably against the chair behind him, and it felt as if all the bones in his body were being ground to pieces.
At this moment, he felt that the so-called grinding bones and scattering ashes was nothing more than this.
The ropes that bound his body cut into his flesh as he struggled in agony, and beads of sweat broke out on his face with bulging veins.
When his consciousness was at its weakest, someone began to ask him questions, a series of complicated questions that made him unable to think and he could only answer according to his heart.
He laughed inwardly, knowing this trick well.
Until finally, this cruel test came to an end and he did not make any mistakes.
Someone came forward and untied his restraints, and Qu Bai fell to the ground like a puddle of mud. When Ade saw him like this outside the door, he got so angry that his eyes turned red, but without the consent of those inside, he could not get in.
He waited for the people inside to send Qu Bai out, but today seemed a little different from usual.
Before Qu Bai recovered from the great pain , two men in black came up, grabbed Ade on the left and right, and took him inside.
The person in charge of testing Qu Bai said, "Under Lao K's order, just in case, Ade also needs to take a test."
Qu Bai suddenly opened his eyes. Even though he was lying on the ground in a fragile and embarrassed posture, his eyes still shocked everyone in the room.
"Ade is my man."
He spoke slowly: "If you want to touch him, let Old K tell me in person."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand: "Ade, come and help me."
Ade looked at him, then looked at the person in charge of the test and said, "Sir, do it."
With a cold face, he turned away the two people who brought him in, and helped Qu Bai up as if no one was around: "If they want to do it, let them do it, I don't care."
Qu Bai looked at him, and Ade nodded, and the hand that was holding his arm exerted a little force, suggesting that he should not worry.
Ade found a chair for him to sit on, took off his coat and put it on Qu Bai, then sat on the chair where Qu Bai had just sat: "Please call a car for us. I can't take the gentleman home after doing this."
Then he closed his eyes and lay back.
The person in charge glanced at Qu Bai and finally said, "Razor, we are also following orders."
Qu Bai wiped his bleeding arm with a tissue and said in a cold tone, "I understand."
Another round of testing for Ade begins.
Qu Bai didn't look up, just listened to his groans and struggles. In the dim light, his hands were clenched into fists and his arms were trembling slightly.
The test was finally over. Qu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ade worriedly, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.
The burly man who always had a cold face let out a breath, raised his head and smiled with an evil look.
The first words he uttered were, "Sir, I'm fine, don't worry."
Qu Bai's eyes turned red.
During this half hour, he regained some strength. He hummed, supported himself on the chair and stood up. He walked over to help Ade up, put his clothes on him again, and patted the dust off his body: "Let's go."
They left the dark basement and saw light again when they came out. The rain that had been falling for almost two days finally stopped.
The lights were just coming on, and the people coming and going were vivid and real. The two people looked ordinary, but their bodies were shaking slightly as they supported each other.
The most thrilling part of this test was not the pain caused by the electric shock, but how to answer those tricky questions against one's conscience under such pain.
Someone chased out. It was the man in charge of the test. He said, "I'll take you back."
Qu Bai hummed.
The other party breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove over. Qu Bai and Ade got in the car.
"The medicine is ready for you."
As soon as the car started moving, the other party said, "They won't suspect anything, don't worry about me."
Qu Bai unscrewed the mineral water bottle and gave the medicine to Ade, who was undergoing the test for the first time, and said to the driver, "Scorpion, you acted well."
"That bastard!"
The scorpion gnashed his teeth and said, "You have suffered."
"He asked you to be in charge of this test. He probably has doubts about you. Be careful next time."
Qu Bai drank the medicine, took out the photo of Chi Xia from his pocket, and seeing that it was still intact, he pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Sometimes the more blatant something is, the easier it is to get away with it..."
As Scorpion said this, the car suddenly braked.
Qu Bai and Ade swayed forward, and both of their heads hit the back of the chair in front of them. Ade hadn't recovered yet, and he almost fainted from the impact.
Qu Bai covered his forehead and looked up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Scorpion's eyes fixed on the window amid the sound of sirens honking behind him.
He looked out the window and saw two figures on the right side of the road. Like everyone else, they seemed to have been distracted by the chain reaction caused by the sudden braking.
"Scorpion." Qu Bai exhaled secretly, his voice hoarse: "We should go."
Scorpion's eyes were lingering and apologetic. He looked away with great difficulty, his throat aching and sore: "Hmm."
The car started moving again, and Scorpion wiped his eyes heavily with the back of his hand.
"Wait a little longer." Qu Bai said softly, "Don't be impatient. Give me some more time."
"I know." Scorpion said, "I'm going to kill that bastard."
"Yeah." Qu Bai started coughing because of laughing.
On the side of the road, Ge Jingyi was supporting a gray-haired old man, and looked at the car that had suddenly stopped and started again with a puzzled look.
The cursing and honking from behind the car stopped, and everything returned to normal.
"Grandma, let's go."
She helped the old man up and walked towards their destination. To her, everything that had just happened was just a small accident that had nothing to do with her.
…
On the weekend evening, because she wanted to go to see Tu Guolin on the pretext of taking sick leave, Chi Xia made an appointment with Lin Wenjue and others to have dinner together at Luo Xun's suggestion.
Seeing that she was fine, Lin Wenjue and the others felt relieved. When they learned that Director Chang had approved two days of sick leave for her, they were extremely envious.
After asking Chi Xia about her well-being, Cao Bin and Juanmao traveled into the world of food, turning their grief over not being able to take a vacation into a desire for delicious food.
Luo Xun took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Fang's case may also require my help. Lao Lin, you can take care of the team's affairs for the next two days. If you have any questions, just contact me."
Cao Bin raised his head, his mouth full of oily smile: "Boss, why don't you entrust such an important task to me?"
Curly licked his fingers: "And me."
The two said in unison: "We don't accept it!"
Luo Xun looked at them with a hurt expression and sighed in disgust.
Lin Wenjue picked up two tissues, wiped the corners of their mouths, and deliberately softened his voice: "Don't cause trouble for Daddy. Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Just eat your meal well, be good."
Cao Bin and Juanmao blinked their eyes, lowered their heads in tacit understanding, and swept away everything again.
Chi Xia couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He poured them some drinks and couldn't help but said, "Eat slowly, don't choke..."
Cao Bin: "Juan'er, they teamed up to bully us."
Curly: “I feel it.”
Cao Bin: "What should we do then?"
Curly was gnawing on a bone: "Eat them to death."
The remaining three laughed so hard that their shoulders began to shake. Chi Xia said, "Eat as much as you want. We provide take-out service."
Cao Bin and Juanmao burst into tears and shouted at the same time: "Boss! More food!"
Chi Xia was so happy that she started studying the menu with them.
Lin Wenjue glanced at Luo Xun and winked: "Old Luo, accompany me to the toilet."
"Um."
Luo Xun stood up, curled his fingers and tapped Juanmao and Cao Bin: "Save some for me, I'm not a pig, why bother with you guys?"
Juanmao and Cao Bin covered their heads and complained, but Luo Xun pretended not to hear them and walked out with Lin Wenjue.
"Juanjuan'er, the boss said we are pigs."
Luo Xun heard Cao Bin say.
He tried to suppress his laughter and paused, then heard Curly say, "We are just poor."
Chi Xia's voice came over: "Is it really so delicious? Can I try it?"
Luo Xun: ...
