Su Hua replied, "The negotiations are almost finished. I'm heading back now, should be there in about forty minutes."
"Then, Hua Bao, when will you be back?" Lin Xuan asked again.
It only took twenty-five minutes to get from here to the Golden Dragon Gang's base.
Thirty minutes was more than enough time for her to deal with Xu Hui and make it back to the Golden Dragon Gang.
"Ah Xuan, remember to wait for me nicely at the hotel."
After saying this, Su Hua hung up the phone.
Jiang Qing respectfully inquired, "Boss Su, should I handle torturing this woman, or is there another method..."
A cold glint flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
"Throw her into the Snake Pit."
There was a Snake Pit right behind the villa's back door.
It was densely packed with all kinds of snakes.
Small ones, big ones, they were all there.
That pit was filled with piles upon piles of snakes, their tongues flicking, a dense, terrifying sight.
These snakes hadn't eaten anything for three or four days.
If Xu Hui were thrown into the Snake Pit today...
Jiang Qing felt a twinge of sympathy for Xu Hui in her heart.
The Snake Pit!!!
Xu Hui's eyes widened in terror.
It was actually the Snake Pit!
She was terrified of snakes!
Just the thought of being thrown into a hole filled entirely with dense, writhing snakes...
The mere idea was enough to drive Xu Hui mad.
Xu Hui desperately wanted to beg for mercy again, but her mouth was stuffed with a rag, rendering her speechless. She could only make muffled "mmph mmph" sounds.
"I'll leave this to you," Su Hua said, looking at Jiang Qing.
"Understood, Boss Su," Jiang Qing replied respectfully.
"And one more thing,"
Su Hua said coldly, "After she's been... played to death by those snakes, cut off her head and deliver it to the Golden Dragon Gang. Say that Xu Hui went to inform the leader of the Dark Night Alliance about the Golden Dragon Gang leader's girlfriend's photo, and was killed by Dark Night Rose for it."
"Understood."
Jiang Qing acknowledged the order.
"Boss Su, could you tell me why you want to send Xu Hui's head to the Golden Dragon Gang?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
She prided herself on understanding Boss Su well, but she couldn't quite figure out the purpose of showing Young Master Lin Xu Hui's severed head this time.
Su Hua curved her lips into a smile. "Just do as I say."
Why?
Naturally, it was because she wanted to use this incident as a pretext to openly act jealous.
If Ah Xuan felt guilty, he would indulge her, letting her have her way with him.
"Yes," Jiang Qing acknowledged again.
"Mmph mmph mmph—"
Xu Hui struggled and crawled towards Su Hua.
Thud thud thud, she kowtowed.
Her eyes were full of pleading.
Seeing Su Hua unmoved, she grabbed Su Hua's foot.
Su Hua frowned impatiently,
extended her foot,
and kicked her away.
"Mmph mmph—" Xu Hui moaned in pain on the ground.
Su Hua left.
Jiang Qing looked at Xu Hui on the ground, bent over, and pulled the rag from her mouth.
She sneered, "Daring to compete with our Boss Su for a man, you really have a death wish."
Young Master Lin was exceptional, and many women fancied him.
It was fine if those women kept it to themselves, but the moment any of them pursued Young Master Lin, every single one, without exception, would face Boss Su's wrath.
Boss Su would absolutely not tolerate any woman appearing by Young Master Lin's side.
"I truly know I was wrong," Xu Hui said, enduring the pain on her face and body. "Please, let me go. Don't take me to that Snake Pit. I've saved over two million over the years. I promise you, if you let me go, all two million is yours."
That two million was what she had painstakingly saved through frugal living.
She had planned to keep it for her retirement.
But if she were thrown into the Snake Pit, she wouldn't be able to spend that money anyway.
Better to use the two million to buy back her life.
Just thinking about the snakes, one after another, in that Snake Pit made her whole body go numb.
Jiang Qing smiled, "Sorry, no amount of money can buy me off."
In an instant, Jiang Qing's smile vanished.
She issued an emotionless order: "Take her away."
"Yes."
Two Dark Night Rose members escorted Xu Hui, following behind Jiang Qing.
They arrived at a spot not far behind the villa.
The members guarding the Snake Pit saw Jiang Qing and said respectfully, "Secretary Jiang."
"Hmm," Jiang Qing gave a slight nod. "Open it."
"Yes."
They immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the Snake Pit.
The two Snake Pit guards shot sympathetic looks at Xu Hui.
Another person to be fed to the Snake Pit. How pitiful.
Jiang Qing raised her hand.
The two Dark Night Rose members immediately escorted Xu Hui closer to the Snake Pit.
A guard of the Snake Pit asked curiously, "Secretary Jiang, what did she do?"
Jiang Qing said coldly, "Attempted to seduce the Alliance Leader's man."
The guard mentally gave Xu Hui a thumbs-up.
Competing with their Alliance Leader for a man? What a brave soul!
Due to the characters carved on her face and her fingernails being pulled out, Xu Hui was dizzy and faint from the pain.
When she was brought to the edge of the Snake Pit, she struggled to open her eyes.
What met her gaze were layers upon layers of snakes.
These snakes weren't large, the biggest only about the size of two index fingers.
They weren't venomous.
However, one would be slowly nibbled away, flesh and blood, dying in extreme fear and agony.
The snakes flicked their tongues, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on Xu Hui, as if staring at prey.
"Ahhhhhhh—"
A scream of pure terror erupted from Xu Hui's mouth.
Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xu Hui, in a moment you'll be thrown in among these snakes. Don't worry, you won't die immediately. It'll take over an hour."
Even Jiang Qing dared not look directly into the Snake Pit.
She wasn't afraid of snakes.
But tens of thousands of snakes in a small pit? That was terrifying.
Only Boss Su could come up with such a method of torture.
Too horrifying.
"Kill me, just kill me," Xu Hui begged.
She truly did not want to be thrown into this Snake Pit.
Jiang Qing ignored Xu Hui's pleas. Instead, she took out a hood and pulled it over Xu Hui's head.
Wearing this hood, one could see the outside situation clearly and feel the sensation of snakes crawling.
However, the snakes couldn't bite her head.
Boss Su's intention was to cut off Xu Hui's head and deliver it to Young Master Lin.
Boss Su had already been using the Dark Night Rose identity to engage in some charitable work.
She definitely wanted the Dark Night Rose identity to leave a good impression on Young Master Lin.
Therefore, the state of Xu Hui's death presented to Young Master Lin couldn't be too gruesome.
She had to protect Xu Hui's head properly. As for the other parts of her body, it didn't matter.
"Throw her in," Jiang Qing ordered coldly.
"Yes."
The two Dark Night Rose members pushed Xu Hui into the snake pit.
"Ahhh, no, no!"
Xu Hui fell into the pit, letting out one terrified scream after another.
Thump—
Xu Hui fell into the piled-up mass of snakes.
