Chapter 1087 - 909: If Force Doesn't Work, Try Gentleness

Hearing the caution in place, Shi Chun felt relieved and curiously asked, "Could it be that the person was kidnapped from Gong Shaoci's house?"

Since the target was on Gong Shaoci's side, he naturally began to pay attention to the movements over there. He had already sent Xiao Sheng to monitor it, and before coming, he had learned that there was some trouble, although it was unclear what had happened, but it was presumably related to this, hence the question.

Yu Xuanbing nodded with a grunt.

Indeed, the person was kidnapped from their house, and it was in the heavily guarded area of Nanshan Royal City, which truly surprised Shi Chun, "How did you manage to get him out?"

Yu Xuanbing simply replied, "Disguised, and held his life in my hand, walked out together through the side door."

Was it that simple? Shi Chunhe and Wu Jinliang exchanged glances, the latter couldn't help asking, "I heard the Gong family's defenses are strict, with many masters guarding, can you just walk out directly?"

Yu Xuanbing gave him a glance, "Many shady dealings occur behind the doors of prominent families, with their own rules. If it's not something someone should inquire about, they won't. As long as you have a pass, and there's nothing overtly unusual, walking out normally, generally no one will ask many questions."

Shi and Wu suddenly realized, both looking as if they had learned something, subconsciously exchanging looks, both feeling that Yu Xuanbing must not be venturing into high-profile households for the first time, as he seemed quite familiar with the ways of prominent families.

Wu Jinliang was again curious, "Wouldn't it be more prudent to act outside? Why go into their house to stir up trouble?"

Yu Xuanbing replied calmly, "Because the target is from the Gong family, who have strong tracking capabilities. If someone is discovered missing too early, it's difficult to get away with them." He looked at Shi Chun, "He instructed it to be quick. There wasn't an appropriate opportunity outside, so we had to create a condition where the target was secluded at home, to avoid the Gong family discovering the person missing too early."

Oh, I see, Shi and Wu exchanged another look, now realizing he truly is a master at sneaky activities, known as the former number one assassin, no wonder he was once legendary.

Wu Jinliang gave a sincere thumbs up, "Impressive!"

The next task was interrogation, and they didn't conduct it here. Shi Chun once again opened the Two Realms Channel, directly taking the person back to the Heavenly Domain.

This time, crossing the realms didn't require going through the Netherworld, as with Lao Changtai acquiring an increasing number of Soul Capturing Bags containing souls in the Netherworld, more and more connection points have been arranged among the realms, no longer needing to go through the Netherworld each time. In some places, they can traverse directly.

Yu Xuanji wasn't surprised by their ability to traverse the two realms, to him it was a reassuring matter. As Shi Chun told him before, in case of any situation, Shi Chun had the ability to get his whole family out.

In a way, he also admired Shi Chun, being someone who was imprisoned in Life Prison, yet managed to come out alive, likely there isn't a second one like that.

He witnessed Shi Chun being taken away by Life Prison in broad daylight back then, thought Shi Chun's life was over, only to be surprised that he reemerged twenty years later to rise in power and wealth, indeed a rarity.

After returning to Dingnan Prefecture, they found a secret place to detain Lei Ying.

Actually, on their own turf, it didn't matter whether they found a secret place or not; wherever they fancied, they could even call in Heavenly Court's forces to secure the area, anyone daring to approach would be deemed schemers. They are officials now, and naturally have the authority to label anyone against their interests as traitors.

Wu Jinliang rolled up his sleeves to personally handle the interrogation. As Lei Ying, awakened, saw Wu Jinliang's sinister grin and familiar face, he was shocked, "It's you?"

His body felt a chill, looking down to find himself stark naked.

Wu Jinliang grabbed his cheek, grinning wickedly, "Lei Ying, we're like enemies meeting with bloodshot eyes. You didn't think you'd fall into my hands after bullying me back then, did you?"

Lei Ying grabbed his wrist but couldn't muster any magic or strength, angrily said, "Boy, you must be tired of living, daring to run to the Gong house to capture someone, how will you kneel on the ground begging me later?"

Earlier, someone suddenly appeared in his room, and he wondered who dared to cause trouble at the Gong house. It turned out to be this guy daring to do it, he really wanted to know how he dared.

Wu Jinliang reached his hand to Lei Ying's crotch, gripping an egg, threatened, "Come on, keep being stubborn for me."

"..." Lei Ying was about to speak but stopped, face showing alarm; instantly clamped down on his weak spot, no longer daring to be stubborn, but no choice, this tactic no man isn't afraid of. He gritted his teeth, "I've already apologized for what happened back then, it's all past, what more do you want?"

Wu Jinliang raised an eyebrow, sneering coldly, "Past? Yet you still contacted the 'Blood Shadow Pavilion' to hire assassins against us?"

As soon as he said this, Lei Ying was aghast, 'how do you know' was written all over his face.

Wu Jinliang pressed on, "Tell me, who instigated you, how the process went, confess truthfully, and I might give you a way out."

Lei Ying turned his head to the side, slowly closed his eyes, lips tightened, preparing to withstand torture.

And indeed, Wu Jinliang didn't let him off easy, not only did he crush his two eggs, but also used extreme torture, Lei Ying despite screaming in agony, only cursed, without uttering a single word.

For he knew well, as a retainer of Gong Shaoci, his honor and disgrace are tied to the Gong family. If he betrayed the family to survive, the Gong family wouldn't spare him, and they had the power to do so.
