After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Of Course, It’s Severe Torture

Li Muchen originally planned to return to Jiang City and take his grandmother and these few people back to the Li Family without getting Lu Sheng involved in this mess.

However, upon receiving a call from Lu Sheng, he was instructed to come to her apartment after the plane landed, as Old Mr. Fu was also waiting for him there.

When the door to the apartment was opened, both Lu Sheng and Old Mr. Fu came to greet him.

After hearing about Li Muchen’s grandmother’s situation from Lu Sheng, Old Mr. Fu naturally was full of concern.

And seeing the tall and travel-weary man unharmed, Lu Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Li Muchen carrying his unconscious grandmother, Lu Sheng immediately asked, "How is grandmother, any injuries?"

Li Muchen’s grandmother had just passed seventy, and perhaps due to years of being bedridden, she was very frail.

One could still see the beauty of her younger years, but after disappearing for these four days and unknown mistreatments, her face and lips were completely pale, making her look extremely weak.

"Grandmother is not injured, just drugged with sleeping pills," he mentioned, his eyes growing colder for a moment.

The next second, his men brought in the four bloodied men, bound like zongzi (rice dumplings).

With a gesture from Lu Sheng, they were unceremoniously dropped in a corner.

"Let’s get grandmother to rest in a room first," Lu Sheng said, "I’ll check her health later."

Li Muchen nodded, and Juanjuan volunteered to take care of the grandmother. When Li Muchen came out of the room again, he saw Lu Sheng squatting in front of the men.

"They are the ones who kidnapped grandmother?" Lu Sheng turned to ask.

"More precisely, it was my uncle who hired these three men," Li Muchen said, looking at Scarface and his cohort.

"They took advantage of the night to take my grandmother from the sanatorium. After that, they hid in the basement of that abandoned bar and didn’t come out, which is why I couldn’t find them."

"But just before I found them, my uncle had arranged for someone to pick them up. If I hadn’t arrived one step earlier, they might have already taken my grandmother onto the ferry back to the country."

Old Mr. Fu was clearly aware of who Li Feng was and frowned deeply: "You mean Li Feng hired people to kidnap your grandmother? What does he want?"

"I’m not sure yet," Li Muchen lowered his eyes, "But, my uncle now wholeheartedly believes his plan has succeeded, and I think it won’t be long before he contacts me."

As they were talking, Scarface was the first to wake up.

Seeing himself in an unfamiliar environment, he looked around in a panic.

However, when he saw Old Mr. Fu standing in front of him, he reflexively widened his eyes in shock.

He then quickly looked away, as if out of guilt.

But that quick shift in his gaze did not escape Lu Sheng’s notice.

With sharpness in her eyes and without waiting for Scarface to respond, Lu Sheng furrowed her brows and tore off the tape on his mouth, asking harshly, "Do you know Grandpa Fu?"

This question surprised Li Muchen slightly, and even Old Mr. Fu himself looked bewildered.

—Aren’t these the men who kidnapped Li Muchen’s grandmother? How could they know him?

Upon hearing this, Scarface shook his head frantically denying: "No, I’ve never seen this gentleman before, how could I possibly know him?"

Scarface was frightened.

Those in their line of work say they value money over life, but if there’s no life left, what good is money?

In Suli’s bar’s basement, Scarface’s underlings had already been beaten to a pulp by Li Muchen’s men, barely clinging to life.

As the boss, Scarface, comparatively, held some value for interrogation, hence he received the least severe beating.

When Lu Sheng asked Scarface whether he knew Old Mr. Fu, and he denied, Lu Sheng’s intuition was usually accurate.

If he truly didn’t know him, why did he give such a surprised look just now?

So she stepped forward and asked again with a deep voice: "You really don’t know him?"

Scarface glanced at the clean and pretty young girl in front of him—

She looked like a high school student, probably some pampered young miss from a wealthy family.
