Chapter 444 Sacrifice?
"I advise you not to speak. I'd rather die than sleep with Zhen Zhiqiang." The voice was furious, unmistakably Chu Yile's. She, too, had been pampered and spoiled at home since childhood, but now she was under house arrest by a traitor, not only deprived of her personal freedom but also facing...
"Of course I don't want to persuade you, but if we keep dragging this out, not only will we not be able to complete the mission, but the lives of our other comrades will also be in danger!" The gentle voice struck a chord deep within.
Chu Yile gritted her teeth and said, "Your name is Li Yaqi, right? Then tell me what to do? Do you think it'll be useful to submit to an old man like you?"
“We’ve fallen into this deep pit. We can’t contact our other comrades, and the people back home are unaware of what’s going on. What can I do? I can only sell my body, beg him, and threaten him with my life to make sure he doesn’t hurt our people.”
"I'm sorry, I...I didn't know..." Looking at Li Yaqi's calm expression, Chu Yile was somewhat shocked and felt ashamed. Although she was a bit spoiled, she was not just a pretty face who could complete the mission. National interests were above all else, even at the cost of her own life.
"Chu Yile, you don't need to apologize. Nobody wants this to happen. I don't want to persuade you. I just want you to be innocent. It's enough if one of us sacrifices."
"But I'm just reminding you, you need to be more careful. Those two are always hanging out together, they're birds of a feather. I'm worried that Zhen Zhiqiang might drug you too. You need to change your temper, try to be more accommodating, and stall for time..." Li Yaqi patiently advised.
"But, Sister Yaqi, it's no use. He's determined to have it. How can I... how can I avoid it?" Chu Yile said dejectedly.
"No, you're quite skilled. Just be careful what you eat, and he won't be able to get close to you for a while. Besides, good will always prevail over evil; these are just temporary."
We must work together to send a message out. The leaders won't stand idly by; they might have already sent rescue personnel. I just hope they come quickly. I've thought about going to rescue them myself, but they're not only being held captive, but they've also been drugged and are completely weak. I simply can't save them.
Chu Yile was also anxious, "Sister Yaqi, what can I do? I can't get the antidote!"
"Sigh, that's why we need to send messages out. I heard there's a third contact point, but it's outside the city. We'll try our best to gain their trust so we can get out!"
Song Tingnan listened from outside. Contacting the third point? She wanted to too. But those people had been drugged and needed to be undoed before they could be released.
She paced back and forth in the corridor, shifting her posture with obvious reluctance. She occasionally rubbed her lower back and even quietly moved a small stool to sit on. It wasn't that she was delicate; rather, she had to act 'delicate' now.
Sure enough, Jia Aiguo, who was in a private room downstairs, had heard about the tabloid and lowered his guard against her.
"Brother Jia, it has to be you! I really thought you were comfortable leaving those two women alone!" Zhen Zhiqiang, who was also nearby, chimed in with his praise.
"Hmph, I'm killing two birds with one stone. I can help persuade Chu Yile, and I also want to see if anyone can contact them. With us keeping an eye on the two women, no matter if they are truly submissive or not, as long as they don't go out and no one helps them, they can't cause any trouble."
"As you know, I still have seven or eight people detained there. The higher-ups can't just ignore it, otherwise I would have dealt with them long ago." Jia Aiguo stroked his chin. "It seems our domestic support hasn't arrived yet. If we can completely win over Li Yaqi, we'll have a more convincing excuse to appease the higher-ups."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely try my best. I'll go get the medicine in a bit."
"Take it easy, wait a couple of days before making any moves, and don't sell Li Yaqi out."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to Brother Jia."
A little while later, Song Tingnan knocked on the door with a tray in hand. "Come in!"
She went in, leaving the door open, placed the pastries on the tray on the table, and then came out.
From the moment they went in until they came out, the whole process took no more than three minutes. Naturally, the person who was secretly watching them ran out to report.
Chu Yile picked up a hibiscus cake and was about to eat it when she exclaimed, "Hey, Sister Yaqi, look..."
