Chapter 571: Chapter 354: Why Didn’t You Say Sooner?
“The surveillance footage suggests he must have anticipated danger and chosen to escape in advance…” Shen Yan analyzed while watching the video, “To avoid being captured by the caras, he never once looked up at the lens from beginning to end.”
“Clearly, he knew soone would co to capture him, and they would definitely try to find his ho…”
“He’s a smart one,” Tang Fei said with a cold, mocking laugh.
You fan the flas, light the fire, and now you think to run?
Not so easy.
“What do we do now?” Shen Yan asked.
He was soone Tang Fei had brought up himself, naturally thinking about solving problems for his leader.
Although the leader’s predicant had already been resolved.
Everyone used to praise Tang Fei’s excellence for securing him the position of the ‘Seventh Star’ of the March Seven Stars, but it turned into Tang Fei should actually be a fiercely burning ‘Little Sun.’
It’s like your boss thinks you’re doing a good job and wants to appoint you as team leader, and you say no, I want to be the dean…
Everyone would think that person is crazy.
Who would bother arguing with a lunatic?
Even the Yu Family, who bore a deep hatred for Tang Fei, cald down, as they clearly realized that Tang Fei had been ‘screwed over.’
If it weren’t for the twist to co, they might have sought revenge against Tang Fei out of indignation and for the sake of family honor, even if they knew Tang Fei was ‘wronged.’
But after all the turmoil, their hatred had diminished a great deal.
Revenge still had to be taken but there was no need to be hasty.
“The living must be seen, the dead must be found,” Tang Fei declared, “Follow the surveillance route, find out what car he’s recently driven, who he’s t, where he’s gone… no matter what, bring him to .”
Wu Mo was just a pawn, but finding him was key to pry open his mouth and locate his mastermind.
“Yes,” Shen Yan nodded in agreent.
“Go back,” Tang Fei said.
Shen Yan waved his hand grandly and called out, “Withdraw.”
Monitoring Bureau. Interrogation room.
This place was jokingly referred to as ‘Ghost Prison’ by the outside world, and internally, as ‘the little black room.’
It wasn’t dark here; in fact, it even emitted a silver cold light.
Yet, anyone who ca here would be terror-stricken, fearing they might never leave this place.
And as they feared, most wouldn’t.
Pfft…
A stimulating fog was sprayed on White Tiger’s face, instantly waking him from his dormant state.
He opened his eyes, bewildered, then found himself staring directly into a pair of bright eyes.
“Tang Fei.”
“Sleep well?” Tang Fei asked with a grin.
“Tang Fei, you’re shaless…” White Tiger glared furiously, trying to rise from the interrogation chair, only to find his hands, feet, and neck all securely locked in place by heavy tal. “If you’re capable, fight fair and square…”
“Haven’t we already fought? You didn’t even take one punch from .”
“That doesn’t count… that was a sneak attack, a trap, you had those black-coated dogs shoot at …”
“That’s not important,” Tang Fei waved his hand dismissively and pointed at White Tiger, “The result is, I’m standing, and you’re lying down.”
“Tang Fei, I’ll kill you…” White Tiger roared in fury.
Better to die fighting than live on your knees.
To him, nothing was more important than that.
He didn’t believe he couldn’t take one punch from Tang Fei; he refused to accept such a humiliating defeat.
Too disgraceful.
“Don’t get excited, don’t get excited,” Tang Fei advised, looking at White Tiger and saying, “The more agitated you get, the more you make agitated… I let soone inject a lethal drug into you, wouldn’t you die even more unwillingly?”
“…”
White Tiger cald down.
He had not had much interaction with Tang Fei, but in his understanding, this was a person even crazier than himself.
His behavior could not be deduced by common sense. He said he would do it…
He truly could do such a thing.
The boy with the delicate features and a kind smile on his face made him feel a chill in his heart; if he said he’d kill your whole family, he ant he’d kill your whole family.
“See, that’s much better,”
Tang Fei was very satisfied with White Tiger’s response. Isn’t it much nicer for everyone to have a calm conversation? What’s the point of shouting and making threats, other than wasting energy and annoying people?
“…”
White Tiger stared at Tang Fei with wide eyes.
For the first ti in his life, soone had called him “good.”
This was more unacceptable to him than being beaten up or stabbed a few tis…
You can kill , but please don’t praise .
I beg you!
Indeed, praise is a sure-kill technique in human interaction.
n and won alike, no one can withstand it.
When Tang Fei praised Phoenix for being good, Phoenix would bury its little head into its own hug.
When Tang Fei praised White Tiger for being good, White Tiger would just silently and peacefully look at himself…
“Now, we can have a proper conversation,” said Tang Fei with that signature radiant smile as he looked at White Tiger and asked, “Who sent you to challenge ?”
Tang Fei felt there was a problem with White Tiger.
If there wasn’t a problem, why would he think of challenging him?
And to appear precisely when he was preparing to capture Wu Mo?
Wasn’t this deliberately delaying ti to create an opportunity for Wu Mo to escape?
“No one sent to challenge you, I ca by myself,” White Tiger spoke up.
Tang Fei shook his head and said, “I don’t believe it.”
“…”
“When I say I don’t believe you, you better find a way to make believe…”
“I’m not lying. I don’t need to deceive you… They all say you are stronger than , I don’t accept that. So I ca here wanting to fight you,” White Tiger said.
He had co all the way from Barbarian Mountain, challenging eighty-one masters without a single defeat.
As for why he challenged them, it was simply because others told him they were masters.
Does fighting require a reason?
Yes, it does.
He entered the path through martial arts; every fight allowed him to accumulate energy and enhance the Yin Yang Qi within his body.
His way of fighting was similar to Little Fatty’s, but their paths of cultivation were different.
The biggest difference was that Little Fatty only had brute strength and couldn’t enter the path to beco a Cultivator, unable to sense the Yin Yang Qi of the world.
“Impossible,” Tang Fei shook his head again and said, “Everyone says Shen Xinglan is better than , but I’ve never thought about challenging him for a fight. We are still loving brothers…”
“You hear that soone is stronger than you, and you want to go and fight them… How long would you have to fight?”
“Fight until I die,” White Tiger said with a serious expression and a very serious tone, “Or until I beco the number one in the world and no one dares to co fight anymore.”
Tang Fei curled his lips, a look of disdain on his face, and said, “Then why don’t you go challenge my master, Xuanyuan Mingjing?”
“I can’t beat him,” White Tiger said succinctly.
After a pause, he added, “I can’t beat him now, but I will find him and fight him later.”
“You really want to challenge him?” Tang Fei was sowhat shocked.
A Great Grandmaster is a towering mountain in the Cultivation Realm; climbing such a peak isn’t just a matter of a little courage.
It also takes a whole lot of foolishness.
“Of course,” White Tiger nodded and said, “Who among those who practice martial arts and seek to break through realms wouldn’t want to challenge a Great Grandmaster?”
“Alright, I wish you success,” Tang Fei didn’t care much about such things.
Before one can challenge a Great Grandmaster, one must first set foot on White Crane Mountain.
Once he enters White Crane Mountain, he’ll realize just how tall it really is and how long and long a ti it takes to roll down.
“Thank you,” White Tiger responded politely.
“…”
Tang Fei observed White Tiger thoughtfully; his cooperative deanor almost made it difficult for him to proceed as usual.
After a second’s hesitation, Tang Fei asked again, “I’ll ask you once more, who sent you to challenge ? Just as I’m about to leave on a mission?”
“I told you, no one sent to challenge you… I challenge whoever I want to challenge. No one can order around…..”
“Not talking?”
“….”
White Tiger glared at Tang Fei. Haven’t I said it already?
You don’t believe it, huh?
“Use electricity,” Tang Fei said.
And so, an Inspector pressed the red button on the computer screen.
Zzzap…
A powerful electric current instantly struck, causing White Tiger’s body to tremble.
White Tiger felt as though his body was imprisoned, but his soul had already flown out.
Every single hair on his body stood up, as if he had beco a porcupine man.
These barbarians really do have rather lush hair.
When White Tiger’s body stopped shaking, Tang Fei asked again, “Who really sent you to challenge ?”
“I said… no one.”
White Tiger struggled to keep his mind clear, but his voice was no longer articulate.
“Increase the voltage,” Tang Fei said.
“Level nine voltage,” the Inspector announced.
Then, the red button was pressed once more.
Zzzap…
This ti, White Tiger’s shaking was even more violent.
Even though the important parts of his body were locked onto the interrogation chair by tal fras, those parts not restrained were still thumping and bouncing upward…
Like a live fish dropped into a frying pan.
“Going to talk?”
“No…”
“Electrocute him again.”
“Level ten voltage.”
Zzzap…
“Going to talk?”
“I….”
“Electrocute him again.”
“Level eleven voltage.”
Zzzap…
White Tiger’s body still struggled out of habit, but his brain was no longer conscious.
He tried hard to open his eyes but found it impossible.
All the hair on his body was burnt away, his hair looking as if it had been toasted by fire, disintegrating into dust with a blow.
Even the flesh on his body gave off a strange burnt scent, making Tang Fei nostalgic for a famous dish from Blue Star: roast suckling pig.
Piglets, also called ‘cannon piglets.’
Roasted using pigs no older than two months, ideally weighing no more than five to six kilograms. After roasting, it’d have a ruddy complexion, crispy skin, tender at, rich but not greasy, fresh and tender, wonderfully aromatic…
Sorry, I digressed.
“Use the drug,” Tang Fei ordered.
Pfffft…
A strong stimulant was once again sprayed onto White Tiger.
White Tiger looked gaunt as if he had aged decades in an instant.
Furthermore, because the stimulant spray brought a strong breeze with it, all of the already scorched hair on his body disappeared so that not a trace was left.
White Tiger turned into a bald man, no, a smooth, hairless tiger…
Completely smooth, he actually looked pretty cute.
Just like a marinated egg.
White Tiger opened his eyes once again.
It must be said that the physical quality of those who practice martial arts and break through realms is truly extraordinary.
For an ordinary person, level nine voltage might be lethal.
And White Tiger was an anomaly among Cultivators; he could take a beating…
“I’ll give you one last chance,” Tang Fei looked at White Tiger and said, “Who really directed you to challenge ?”
“You better think carefully… If you don’t talk, you will endure level twelve voltage… No one can withstand level twelve voltage. In that case, your whole body will be cooked…”
“Really, fully cooked… Sprinkled with cumin and chili powder… You don’t have to worry, we won’t eat it, we’ll feed it to the dogs…”
“I haven’t… haven’t… no one is directing …..”
White Tiger said in a halting voice.
But his attitude remained clear, I didn’t do it, I’m not lying, don’t accuse wrongly.
With an astonished face, Tang Fei looked at White Tiger and asked, “Truly no one?”
“No…”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“…”
White Tiger cried.
Tears flowed from his lash-less eyes, pearly and translucent, his large face projecting an adorably ugly charm.
Cartoonish to the extre.
——
In a dark room, a man wearing a hood was handcuffed to an iron chair.
Whoosh!
Soone yanked the black hood off his head and cheerfully said, “Mr. Wu Mo, we finally et.”
