Chapter 1013: Chapter 1054: Cao Bin’s Conspiracy

Lin Qiong awoke once again to find herself in a pitch-dark cabin, roughly making out only the outline of the small room.

She was bound to a chair at the moment, her clothes still intact, which let her breathe a sigh of relief. After all, she was a woman, and the first thing that came to mind was whether she had been violated.

Realizing she was unharmed in that respect, she then thought about her current location, remembering why she was there. But as she pondered, Lin Qiong felt quite annoyed. According to what that person implied, she was now in Cao Bin’s hands. Reflecting on her meticulous plans to capture Cao Bin, the irony of being caught by him instead was quite frustrating.

But what was most important now was why Cao Bin had captured her. Revenge? This was possible, given the sizeable drug seizure this time, which amounted to a substantial loss for a drug trafficker. Retaliation for such a significant loss seemed normal.

Yet, Lin Qiong felt the situation wasn’t that simple. Even if it was revenge, it shouldn’t be now, as the police force of Mile City was primarily searching for Cao Bin. By kidnapping her, Cao Bin was bound to leave a trail, and simply following her lead would undoubtedly expose him. She didn’t believe Cao Bin would take such a great risk just for the sake of revenge.

At this time, Lin Qiong did not scream and shout as some women might in such situations. She didn’t make a sound. Her primary concern was her own safety, and screaming was clearly not a wise choice.

Straining her ears to listen carefully, she heard no voices outside but did hear water sounds—probably waves lapping against the shore. Coupled with a slight swaying sensation of her surroundings, Lin Qiong deduced she was on a boat, probably in a cabin at the bottom of the vessel.

Lin Qiong slowly gathered her strength. Ideally, she’d break free on her own and send out a signal to the outside world, capturing Cao Bin and his accomplices.

But the drug they’d given her seemed potent; her body felt weak and listless, and she lacked the strength to break free from the tightly bound ropes.

Footsteps approached from outside, and Lin Qiong quickly ceased moving, feigning continued unconsciousness. This might cause Cao Bin and his men to be less cautious—her actual awakening would certainly put them on alert.

With a clang, the iron door opened, and two people entered, followed by a flash of light that suddenly brightened the space.

"She’s still not awake. The drug really is strong," said Cao Bin, accompanied by a grim-looking man, upon observing Lin Qiong.

"The drug’s effect only lasts three hours; she should be waking up any minute now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong knew she could no longer pretend to be asleep. She slowly opened her eyes, squinting due to the discomfort from the light, and after a moment managed to fully open them. She immediately recognized the two men in front of her. She had not encountered Cao Bin in person, but had seen him countless times in files; she identified the man on the left as Cao Bin, but did not recognize the man on the right.

"Cao Bin, it’s you. What do you want?" Lin Qiong demanded, struggling slightly, although her voice sounded weak and breathless.

Cao Bin stepped up to Lin Qiong, his face twisted into a snarl. "Director Lin, you are quite formidable. You managed to wipe out my five hundred million worth of goods."

Lin Qiong scoffed, responding, "Drugs harm the country and the people. As long as I discover them, I will strike with full force."

Cao Bin smiled sinisterly, "Director Lin is truly principled. No wonder the Mile City police hold you up as an example. You do have commendable qualities. But by cutting off my revenue, I won’t let this go so easily."

"Hmph, even if you kill me, your drugs are still lost."

"That’s not necessarily the case." Cao Bin’s eyes narrowed as he said, "Director Lin, considering your influence with the Mile City police force, if I were to trade you for the five hundred million worth of drugs, do you think the police would agree?"

This truly frightened Lin Qiong, and she hadn’t anticipated Cao Bin having such a reckless idea. However, she quickly dismissed it with disdain. "That’s impossible. The police will definitely not exchange me for drugs. You might as well give up on that idea."

Cao Bin laughed heartily, "That’s not necessarily true. You, Director Lin, represent the Mile City police. If you fall into my hands and they let you be killed, it would bring shame onto the Mile City police."

Lin Qiong spoke indifferently, "You’re mistaken. If Mile City’s police were to use drugs to exchange for me, that would be the real shame. Your drugs could destroy so many people, and at most, I’m just one life. No matter how you compare it, I’m still just one life. You can’t equate that to the health of thousands upon thousands of people."

"It seems, Director Lin, you won’t cooperate with us?" Cao Bin’s eyes glittered with a malevolent light.

"What do you think?" Lin Qiong replied dismissively.

"Then do you know how I will deal with you?"

"Hmph!" Lin Qiong snorted coldly. She had made up her mind; no matter what, she would absolutely not cooperate with Cao Bin.

Cao Bin took out a syringe, pride beaming from his face as he said, "No one can resist the allure of drugs. I’m going to give you an injection now and let you experience the bliss of being on the verge of paradise and death."

Lin Qiong’s face changed drastically as she exclaimed, "You wouldn’t dare!"

Cao Bin laughed heartily, "What wouldn’t I dare? As soon as you are injected with this new type of high-concentration drug, you’ll become addicted. After that, you’ll be begging me for more. If you don’t continue with the injections, you, Director Lin, are going to go mad. I don’t believe you won’t agree then."

"You bastard, if you dare do this to me, I will never let you go," Lin Qiong yelled furiously.

With deliberate slowness, Cao Bin took out another glass bottle containing a colorless liquid. He waved it in front of Lin Qiong and said, "If I don’t get you addicted, you definitely won’t let me go. But if I do, would you still not let me go? Director Lin, that kind of torment is not something humans can bear."

"Don’t even think about it. Even if I die, I won’t cooperate with you."

"Then let’s see if you really wish to die." Cao Bin casually knocked off the top of the glass bottle and slowly drew the liquid into the syringe, all the while keeping his gaze fixed on Lin Qiong. He relished seeing the look of terror in her eyes. This woman, a police officer who had messed up his plans, needed to be tormented slowly, or he wouldn’t feel comfortable.

"Cao Bin, you son of a bitch!" Lin Qiong watched in horror as Cao Bin drew the drug into the syringe. If he really managed to inject her with this stuff, even if she later escaped and brought Cao Bin to justice, she didn’t know if she would ever be able to kick this new type of drug addiction. The more she dealt with drugs lately, the more she understood about the varieties of drugs. The new ones that came out caused stronger dependencies, making quitting harder, ensuring better sales for the drugs.

Cao Bin laughed out loud, then gloated even more, "When the time comes, I’ll film you begging me for drugs and share the video. Everyone will then know what kind of person Director Lin truly is. When you want drugs, you’ll have to exchange your body for them. Director Lin, with such a nice figure, I’m sure it will be thrilling in bed. I’m really looking forward to it."

At this moment, Lin Qiong truly felt like going mad. If it really came to that, she thought it might be better just to die right now. But no matter how much she struggled, she didn’t have the strength to fight back.

"Director Lin, you know, I rarely force anyone. You’ve forced me to make an exception. Don’t blame me for what happens. You cut off my money flow, and if I can’t get these drugs out, I’ll be the one dying. So, I’m sorry, but I have to compromise you."

"But rest assured, I do have principles. I respect women. While you were unconscious, if I wanted to rape you, it would have been too easy. But that’s too boring. Even if I forced myself on you now, you’d have no strength to resist, which isn’t fun. I prefer it when a woman is a bit more proactive. Remember, when you come back begging me for drugs later, make sure you’re very pleasing to me, haha."

The happier Cao Bin spoke, especially seeing Lin Qiong’s pallid face and her fiery glare, the more he felt utterly exhilarated. He intended to make Lin Qiong experience all the suffering he had endured these past days.

Holding the syringe, he moved to Lin Qiong’s side. Cao Bin blinked and declared, "I’m about to begin now. You’re about to taste that wonderful feeling. It’s truly intoxicating. Even after catching so many drug traffickers, you surely haven’t experienced this kind of pleasure."

As he spoke, he leisurely pointed the syringe toward Lin Qiong’s exposed arm, visible due to her short-sleeved summer police uniform. One injection, and Lin Qiong would be done for.

But just as Cao Bin was about to act, Lin Qiong suddenly summoned all her remaining strength, raising her leg sharply and kicking Cao Bin on the shin.

Though the kick was less than a tenth of Lin Qiong’s usual strength, the tip of her shoe hitting Cao Bin’s shin still made him cry out in pain, almost falling to the ground.

"Damn it, bitch, you dare kick me? Help me hold her down!" Cao Bin shouted. The man who had been silent up until now came over and grabbed Lin Qiong’s legs, while Cao Bin moved to her side, raising the syringe and aiming it at Lin Qiong’s arm.
